The 60s: Accidentally Becoming an Academician While Doing Scientific Research

Ling Yue, living in the interstellar era, was caught in an explosion caused by a neighboring scientific madman and was transported to the Blue Star in the 1960s, a time of devastation, internal str...

Chapter 104 Unauthorized Changes

Ling Yue had a very good idea, but unfortunately, problems arose in Jiangnan before it officially began.

"Who did this?" Zhong Huai, the person in charge of the water conservancy project in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, stood next to the dam wearing a raincoat, pointing at the support frame with trembling fingers.

The engineer next to him looked at the place where Zhong Huai was pointing and said loudly: "This... is the part that You Jianghai is responsible for. Engineer Zhong, what's wrong?"

Because of the detailed division of labor, each part has a relevant person in charge, so the plan can be completed more quickly.

The sound of rain and the noisy sounds outside were intertwined, and Zhong Huai felt that his mind became as turbid as the river water below.

"Go back first, go back first, and ask You Jianghai to come over." Zhong Huai stumbled and turned around, looking at the people who were still working on the project, and said angrily: "Stop first, everyone, no one is allowed to touch the dam without my order today. Go back and rest first."

After saying that, Zhong Huai walked back quickly. The other engineers were puzzled, but they still did as he was told.

"Engineer Zhong, what's going on? Academician Ling needs it urgently, and the people downstream are counting on this dam. If we stop now, it will delay us for another day."

"Don't talk too much. If we don't stop, the dam won't be usable even after it's finished," Zhong Huai said harshly. "Send You Jianghai to find me. Where are they?"

The person who went to notify them came back and said hurriedly, "He went downstream today and can't be found now."

In the tent, Zhong Huai pulled off his raincoat and said, "Please help me connect to the Fifth Academy's General Design Department. I'm looking for Ling Yue."

As he spoke, he wrung out the water from his sleeves. It didn't matter if other parts of his body got wet, but if the water on his sleeves got into the phone, their only phone would be gone, which would be even more inconvenient.

Ling Yue happened to be in Qian Zilin's office, submitting the first part of the plan owed to Li Shaoheng, the financial officer.

"So fast, he's worthy of being Academician Ling."

Qian Zilin joked in a good mood.

It would be better to hand over part of this thing first to give Li Shaoheng an explanation. After all, he took such a large sum of money.

Ling Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle Qian, I'm here to find..."

Before he could finish his words, the microcomputer on his wrist started beeping.

Ling Yue heard the voice: "Wait a moment."

She put the documents on Qian Zilin's desk and answered the phone.

"Hello, I'm Ling Yue."

Zhong Huai's voice was particularly loud, and the sound of heavy rain outside could be heard sparsely: "Academician Ling, I am Zhong Huai."

Ling Yue nodded. This person was the person in charge appointed by the Palace Museum. She had seen this person's resume before. He sat in the front during the last meeting and had a nameplate on the table. Ling Yue naturally had an impression of him.

However, Zhong Huai had never called me on his own initiative. Any problems he encountered were always solved on the spot. Now that he was calling, he must have encountered a big problem. He hurriedly asked, "Well, I know. What's going on?"

"It's like this. Today I inspected the condition of the dam and found that there was a stress concentration problem in a section of the dam during construction, mainly in the left tail, within a range of seven meters."

"What?" Ling Yue, who had never shown her emotions, couldn't help but clench her fists, took a deep breath for a few seconds, and slowly closed her eyes.

"Don't hang up, I'll do the math now."

As she spoke, Ling Yue pulled Qian Zilin away, sat at the table, switched to the microcomputer calculation page, entered instructions, and asked No. 7 to calculate the most appropriate solution.

After a few seconds, Ling Yue finally spoke: "Now rebuild the support beam within fourteen meters on the left. I can't send the revised drawings over immediately, so I can only verbally tell you. Remember to write down the parameters."

"Okay, okay, go ahead," Zhong Huai held the pen, hunched over, and leaned on the table, holding the phone in one hand.

"Starting ten meters to the left and three meters outside..."

A series of data came out of Ling Yue's mouth, and even if Qian Zilin had no knowledge in this area, he could roughly picture it in his mind.

At this moment, Qian Zilin realized how efficient Ling Yue was at work. In just a few seconds, she could solve a difficult problem and even provide the drawing parameters.

"I've written it all down. I'm going to do it now."

Ling Yue hummed, then asked, "Who is responsible for this node?"

She was indeed angry. Having a good temper does not mean having no temper. The nature of this matter was very bad. Changing the designer's drawings without authorization was something Ling Yue had never encountered before.

"It's You Jianghai." Zhong Huai was silent for a moment, his face flushed. "I'm really sorry, Academician Ling. This is my mismanagement. If I had discovered it earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

Ling Yue immediately said in a cold voice, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You can't supervise the entire process. But please ask You Jianghai, who altered my drawings this time, to return to the capital. I don't want his name to appear on my designs again."

Ling Yue pursed her dry lips and said, "Also, no matter if there are any problems later, I will hold him accountable."

After saying that, Ling Yue hung up the phone. Zhong Huai had a responsibility, but it was not a big one. After all, one person had to be responsible for all the projects in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and it was impossible for him to keep an eye on every place.

However, Zhong Huai couldn't get over this hurdle.

Not long after, military soldiers and police brought You Jianghai back.

Zhong Huai slammed his hand on the table, causing the unstable structure to shake. "Engineer You, I want to ask you why you didn't build it according to the blueprints."

"What do you mean, my place wasn't built according to the blueprint?"

Hearing this, Zhong Huai's anger reached its peak: "Pressure bearing, did you follow the blueprint? It extended outwards by 0.5 meters, do you think I'm a fool?"

"That's obviously the most suitable way, and it can save the most materials."

You Jianghai doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing this. It does save materials and time, and it may not necessarily cause any problems.

Zhong Huai looked at the unrepentant man in front of him with disappointment. Without saying anything else, he conveyed Ling Yue's thoughts. Immediately, You Jianghai escorted him back to Beijing.

Zhong Huai looked at You Jianghai who was struggling, and slowly looked at the heavy rain outside that never stopped. He gathered everyone together, distributed the parameters, and the engineers drew the drawings according to the parameters overnight.

That night, after all the instructions were given, Zhong Huai lay down on the table and wrote a self-criticism.

After Ling Yue hung up the phone, she sat in her seat without saying a word, as if filled with endless anger.

If the person who changed the blueprint had not passed the review, Ling Yue would have suspected that he was a spy.

"Ling Yue?"

Qian Zilin shouted softly.

Ling Yue supported her head, rubbed her temples, and said helplessly: "Uncle Qian, it may take two days to close the valve."

Qian Zilin heard the conversation between the two and was able to analyze some things from it.

Even though there were problems with the last satellite project, they were mistakes. However, this time, it was an unauthorized change. The nature of the two is completely different.

"Is it difficult?"
