Reborn as a New Farmer of the 1980s

Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....

Chapter 2196 Gu Hongzhong’s Drone

This afternoon at the Huaguang Research Canteen, we had stir-fried pork with green peppers and stewed green beans.

The cafeteria at the Huaguang Technology Factory downstairs serves fried meat with celery and stewed tofu.

There is nothing new about the staple food, just rice and steamed buns.

Wan Feng also bought a dish and ate with Yang Zhengkun at a small table.

"Professor Yang! I won't be taking you to the restaurant for lunch today. I'll be with you to get used to the food in Huaguang Canteen. Don't worry! We guarantee that the vegetables we use in the canteen are not junk, and the sanitary conditions are guaranteed to be no worse than those of ordinary people living at home."

The people who cook in the canteen are all housewives from nearby villages. When recruiting, they specifically choose those who are clean and neat, and leave those who are dirty and filthy.

These cooks enjoy all the benefits of Nanwan Group employees, even their year-end bonuses are not reduced at all. They are basically formal employees of Nanwan.

Therefore, every woman who cooks in Nanwan Group cherishes this opportunity very much. The food they cook may not be delicious, but the hygiene is absolutely impeccable.

"This is great! It's really great, no worse than our school cafeteria."

Wan Feng couldn't verify whether this was true or not.

"Professor Yang! Did Xu Meilin show you the work environment this morning?"

"I've seen it and I'm very satisfied with the work environment. I've also talked with the database team and their enthusiasm has really inspired me."

Spotless environment and various advanced testing instruments.

Peking University’s scientific research equipment is not as good as Nanwan’s.

The satisfaction Yang Zhengkun expressed came from the heart.

Almost everyone who comes to South Bay has said this. Although the original words may not be exactly the same, they are all similar.

Wan Feng was also not surprised.

"I've arranged a place for you to stay. I'll show you around after dinner. Professor Yang! Do you have a driver's license?"

Yang Zhengkun shook his head.

Without a driver's license, you have to arrange for someone to drive you.

Wan Feng took out a flip phone from his pocket and pushed it in front of Yang Zhengkun.

"I turned on this phone this morning. The number is on this piece of paper. I've paid your first bill. My number is already in your phone book. You can find it easily. If you have any questions in the future, you can contact me directly."

Yang Zhengkun was a little touched.

In his mind, those who can directly contact Wan Feng are not ordinary people, and he understands this.

After dinner, Wan Feng drove Yang Zhengkun to Wan Shuiming's former factory. As soon as they entered the factory gate, they pointed to a three-story building on the right side of the gate.

"This small building was originally where my uncle's family lived. Right now, there's really no place suitable for you. You can't live in the factory dormitory. A hotel is fine, but I'm afraid you won't feel like home anymore. So, for now, you can stay here. I've already contacted the decorators, and they'll start tomorrow. It should take about a week. What do you think?"

Then he and Yang Zhengkun went into the small building and looked at each floor.

"Is this factory vacant now?"

"I'm using it as a warehouse temporarily. There are security guards on duty twenty hours a day and night."

Upon hearing that there were people from the security company on duty day and night, Yang Zhengkun stopped talking.

The small building is on the right of the gate, and the duty room is on the left of the gate, only about ten meters apart.

"Since that's okay, then it's settled. Before the house is renovated, you can live in the Hongying Hotel. I've already booked a room. When the house is finished, you can move in. I'll provide you with a car and a driver to pick you up and drop you off at get off work every day."

After the accommodation was arranged, Wan Feng took advantage of the afternoon time to drive Yang Zhengkun around Jiangwei to deepen his understanding of Jiangwei.

During this period, we also went to the Inna River to take a look.

The water level of the Inna River has receded temporarily, but it is not time to relax. The real rainy season is mid-to-late July and early August. Now is not the time to let the horses go.

The supplies to Longjiang are still being transported, mainly the tents, and all other items have been transported there.

The Inna River was temporarily calm, so Wan Feng shifted his attention to the World Cup. He first bet on Crudia to beat Germany 3-0, and he also won the last game as expected.

France defeated a distracted Barcelona to win the 16th World Cup.

Taking stock of the gains from this World Cup, a total of nearly 1.1 billion euros were earned.

Each member of the trading team received a bonus of two million yuan. Because of her effective supervision, Wan Feng gave Chen Wenxin an additional two million yuan.

The day after the World Cup ended, Gu Hongzhong unexpectedly returned from Nanzuizi.

Then he got a small plane and flew it back and forth in front of Wan Feng.

"Engineer Gu! You're taking advantage of my inability to count. You're flying a model airplane over my head and pretending it's a drone? Even though I know nothing about drones, I can still tell the difference between a model airplane and a drone."

The small plane that Gu Hongzhong is flying now is about the same size as the iron plane with a fan on the whip pole that some people use during the Chinese New Year, and he dares to call it a drone.

Gu Hongzhong was delighted: "Of course I can't bring back a real drone. I brought this model airplane back for my son to play with."

"Mr. Gu! You're kidding again. Your son is about to get married, and you're telling him to play with this thing?"

Gu Hongzhong’s son Gu Li is already eighteen or nineteen years old this year. How can he play this?

"This is perfect for my son to play with."

"Don't even think about it. My son can't play it, so I can't leave it to my grandson!"

This is all thought about the year 3000.

Wan Feng did not insist on having a drone. His son was still young and couldn't play with one at all. By the time his son grew up, drones might be flying all over the sky.

"How's your research project going?"

"Two little gadgets succeeded."

"Did it really work? Let's talk about Nengfei Duoyuan first."

"About one hundred and fifty kilometers."

This is a real drone that can fly so far.

"Can it carry a load?"

"It can carry fifty kilograms."

Wan Feng was shocked. A drone that could carry 50 kilograms was already quite big.

It can carry 50 kilograms of cargo and fly 150 kilometers...

This is incredible! Gu Hongzhong created a drone in about ten months. Could it be that he is planning to fly into the sky?

“Through what technology?”

"radio!"

After hearing the news on the radio, Wan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Gu Hongzhong could not go into space for the time being.

Radio can be said to be the lowest-level means of controlling a drone. If there is any interference with the drone during flight, the aircraft may fly away somewhere unpredictable.

Of course, satellite positioning is the most accurate and least susceptible to interference.

However, in 1998 he was able to fly 150 kilometers through radio control, which was considered a breakthrough.

"Oh no! Even if you understand the electronic components in a drone, how did you tinker with the body? Did you just tinker around on your own?"

No matter how big the aircraft is, it needs to be tested in a wind tunnel if it wants to have good flight performance.

Wan Feng didn't believe that Gu Hongzhong could come up with a reasonable body on his own.

"Someone else is helping with the aircraft, so I don't have to worry about it. I'm only responsible for making it fly and controllable."

After Gu Hongzhong said this, Wan Feng understood.
