It was only November when a light snow began to fall in the cold wind.
Some of the factory employees have already moved into the building according to their batches and housing qualifications.
Although there are still shared water rooms and toilets in the tube-shaped building, at least your butt is not as cold as it was in the original bungalow.
"Hey, have you ever been to the building where the senior engineers live? Every household up there has a tap running into their home, and the toilet is right inside their door."
It was the afternoon cooking time and everyone was washing vegetables in the bathroom. Someone mentioned another welfare building in the factory.
"Hey~ If you poop a lot, the house will smell like food and shit."
"Hahaha, that's true. Now that I think about it, it's better this way. We have a shared kitchen and bathroom, so the fumes won't get on the bedding..."
Everyone was talking at once, and they were all very satisfied with the current environment.
There are relevant policy regulations for ordinary employee welfare housing, including standards and grades. Even Qiu Yuling can only make the arrangements as detailed and convenient as possible within the policy.
In order to prevent people from building things randomly in the public corridors, a kitchen with sufficient area is reserved on each floor. The positions of the cabinets and honeycomb coal stoves are fixed and labeled with house numbers. People can use the corresponding number plates.
After using up the seasonings, they are locked in the cabinet. The chopping board and the cabinet are connected together. After use, the lid is lifted off and covered. A pot or something can be placed on top.
The staff housing in Gao and the staff building in Wu City are both designed with modern kitchen and bathroom entrances.
However, they are all point-type buildings, and the house sizes vary, with both three-bedroom and two-bedroom options, which is very convenient.
When she came back, she prepared a new style of large cotton coat for each of the three old men, which she asked Qiao Yue to bring back from the south.
As soon as I got off the car, I didn’t even bother to go home and went straight to the installation factory.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Bian, the factory director is back. He just entered the gate and is going to the workshop..." The young apprentice saw him from a distance and ran back to report to the master. Sure enough, after hearing what he heard, the two old men also went straight to the workshop.
But his legs were not as fast as those of the young man, and before he could reach the destination, he bumped into Qiu Yuling who was walking towards him.
"We were thinking that you would be in the workshop for a while, and we were thinking of coming here by ourselves. Fortunately, we arrived at the right time, otherwise we would not have met again." The old man was left here, and they saw each other less often than before. When he saw his grandson's wife, there was often a hint of resentment in his concern.
"I thought you were all in the workshop, so I thought I would go there directly without wasting time. When I arrived and saw no one, I realized I had taken the wrong path." If the two of them had stayed where they were, they would definitely have gone the right way.
After two sentences of explanation, the two old men were cheered up and followed Qiu Yuling to the office. "How long will you stay this time? Our propeller hub is a success.
After modifying the second version of the design, the stable rotation of the blades can be guaranteed, and the angle of the blades can be flexibly adjusted to achieve various flight postures of the helicopter.
You're back just in time. Someone from the military industry will be coming in a couple of days. We're impatient to deal with this, so we'll leave it to you."
"Successful?" Qiu Yuling was very surprised. She didn't expect that a few old guys could actually do it.
The blades and hub are important components of the rotor system. Overcoming the difficulties of these two parts will herald a major breakthrough in our helicopter technology.
"What's so difficult about this? The key is the original data support you brought back. Without that, I'm afraid there are still ways to try." The old men were quite realistic. They were certainly capable, but the one who should be praised most here was Qiu Yuling's meticulousness. The things she brought back were all very valuable for reference!
For this part of the project, all workers involved have signed confidentiality agreements and have been contacted to provide direct support to the military.
Who would have thought that a small installation plant, or an affiliated unit of a complex, could develop such valuable things.
Only a very few people in the factory know that the installation plant is the golden goose that lays eggs. Those who are not in the know think that this is just a pure R&D department that loses money but gains publicity.
If Qiu Yuling didn't have the prestige to control the people below her, there would have been trouble long ago just because the benefits here are higher than those of the workers in other branches.
"Well, I'll take care of it. But when they want to meet the meritorious people, you guys must not be lazy..."
The others chatted for a while about the application areas of rotor systems. "...Besides helicopter systems, the first applications are also horizontal-axis wind turbines. After you mentioned it last time, we also led people to test it out. It's feasible. Scaling it up by the same proportion shouldn't be a problem."
Mr. Bian sighed, "Ever since the wind power project was designated a key national research project two years ago, so many national research institutes have been working on it. I never thought a small installation plant like ours would be able to break through."
To be honest, it feels great!
The two old men thought of the experts who came to seek advice from them again and again, looked at each other, and tried hard to suppress the mischief in their eyes.
"I wonder how long they'll keep Old Yuan in custody?"
Qiu Yuling corrected Mr. Bian's wording, "Engineer Bian, that's not called detention. Engineer Yuan was out doing technical support. Please don't say that anymore."
Old man Li immediately supported his old friend, "Why don't you call for detention? Old Yuan has been 'taken away' for three months, and they haven't called him back yet. Are they not going to return him to us? We are the Three Musketeers, and each one of us is indispensable.
Go and bring him back to us!"
Looking over with moist eyes, Qiu Yuling pretended not to notice and didn't intend to take any action from these two mischievous old men. "I went to see Engineer Yuan before I came here. He's doing well over there. He will definitely be back before the New Year at the latest."
She made a special trip to deliver a thick cotton coat to Mr. Yuan. The old man was also very concerned about the two old friends who stayed behind. He gave all the tickets he had saved that he didn't need to Qiu Yuling and asked her to bring them back to them.
"...Old Yuan also asked me to bring back all the meat and cloth coupons he had saved. They're here together with the cotton clothes I prepared for you two. Oh, by the way, I just sent someone to take the bundle back to the office. Have you opened it yet?"
"No."
"No, we heard you were coming, so we came out straight away. Maybe we got lost with the worker who was delivering the baggage."
"Then let's go back and try on the new cotton-padded jacket." The two of them finally understood that it was not that the other side would not let them go, but that the old man was happy there and didn't want to leave. It was a pity that they were worried about him when he was away from home alone.
"...Who would have thought that Old Yuan, who could eat and drink all the delicious food, didn't even need a meat ticket!" Although Qiu Yuling embellished it a lot, the two of them knew what was going on right away.
