Chapter 67 The First Research Product
Jiang Aiguo deliberately dragged out the last syllable, "But she studies agricultural machinery."
Commander Tang said dismissively, "Anything that benefits the country and its people is fine."
Who says our research institute can't study agricultural machinery?
Work hard, and you'll still get financial support later.
This is exactly what Jiang Aiguo was waiting for.
Today, their institute's top researcher, Professor Qi, is leading a team to study nuclear submarines.
The remaining researchers had some free time after completing their projects.
He was at a loss for what to do and couldn't give them any guidance.
If we include agricultural machinery research, the scope will broaden and there will be many more things to study.
He chuckled and was about to flatter her when he saw Su Meng put down her pen with a relaxed expression.
"She's out! She's really here!"
At first, Commander Tang didn't understand what Jiang Aiguo was rambling about.
Then, remembering that they were talking about Su Meng, he quickly signed the papers twice and ran towards the research institute.
"Director, this is my idea, please take a look." Su Meng handed over the blueprints.
The first picture shows a manual threshing machine.
The second one is...
"Why is this a double-barreled one? The front is the grain outlet, but the straw clippings are blown to the back?"
Jiang Aiguo was completely bewildered. "I don't really understand just by looking at the blueprints. Comrade Su, can you assemble one now?"
Su Meng was speechless, never expecting the director to be such an impatient person.
"Chief, please find me two old threshing machines for now, along with some angle iron and a small diesel engine."
She quickly wrote down all the parts that would be needed, then glanced at the sky and said, "Chief, I'm going home for lunch."
Jiang Aiguo was momentarily surprised. They were talking about the blueprints just a second ago, how did they suddenly start talking about eating?
Just then, Comrade Jiang Aiguo's stomach began to rumble with hunger.
He gave an awkward laugh, all his enthusiasm focused on Su Meng's blueprints, and said tactfully, "Comrade Su, you're new here and don't know, we have an employee cafeteria with very good food, two dishes and a soup, and meat at every meal."
“Our unit also has a mess hall, which is much more convenient than going home.” Division Commander Tang strode over, pushing past Jiang Aiguo to look at the drawings on the table. “Was this just drawn?”
Before Su Meng could speak, he pointed to the person behind him and said, "Go to Comrade Xie Mian's house and tell him that Comrade Su Meng is still busy and will go back after get off work."
Su Meng spoke weakly, "...I don't have to go to work today."
Commander Tang seemed not to hear her, and picked up the blueprints to look at them with her.
Jiang Aiguo, being very perceptive, went out to arrange lunch. It seemed that Commander Tang had rushed over because he was also hungry.
Oh dear! Being a good leader isn't easy!
By the time Commander Tang understood what a double-drum threshing machine was, the food was just served, and the parts Su Meng wanted were brought into the designated room one by one.
"Comrade Su, can this really be used to thresh rice and wheat?"
It means it can be used both wet and dry, which sounds pretty amazing.
"Theoretically, yes!"
Jiang Aiguo was shocked once again!
He finished his meal in a few bites, rubbed his hands together, and walked into the yard. "I'll go demolish the old one first."
Commander Tang scolded impatiently, "What's your rush? Doesn't that young lady need to eat?"
That's what they say, but he eats faster than Jiang Aiguo.
He finished his two bowls just as Jiang Aiguo finished his.
They went out one after the other.
Su Meng smiled helplessly and finished her meal in a few bites.
If it had been assembled sooner, perhaps she could have secretly used it first, which would have freed up her hands.
Her wheat field!
Mechanization will be achieved very soon.
The old threshing machine was quickly dismantled.
But none of the three of them knew how to weld.
Jiang Aiguo stared at the pieces of angle iron, then suddenly turned and left, saying, "I remember Comrade Yao Hongjun is a welder."
After Comrade Yao Hongjun welded it according to the requirements, the group made several adjustments.
A crude version of the double-drum threshing machine was born!
"It's a pity there's no ripe rice or wheat." Jiang Aiguo circled the threshing machine with regret, scratching his head in frustration.
Commander Tang was always a man of action. “I remember there are mature rice paddies to the southeast. I’ll go buy a few bundles tomorrow and try it out.”
This is the only option for now.
Commander Tang walked out with his hands behind his back, not forgetting to add a word of praise: "Comrade Su, you did a great job!"
Jiang Aiguo glanced southeast and said, "Go home when you're done."
After helping to pack up the tools, Yao Hongjun also left.
Once she was sure they were all gone, Su Meng ran over, bolted the doors and windows, and then slipped into her spatial dimension.
But as soon as she stood on the edge of the field, she felt so depressed that she couldn't breathe.
The wheat field should now be more than two acres, roughly the size of two basketball courts.
It would be impossible for her to finish the job in less than seven or eight hours by herself, constantly cutting and binding the pieces by hand and stacking them up nearby.
The double-drum threshing machine assembled today only has the function of threshing.
Miscalculation!
She sat dejectedly on the edge of the field, munching on cucumber after cucumber, before leaving the space, head hanging low.
She couldn't possibly spend the night at the research institute.
It was impossible for her to take the newly assembled machine away, as she feared that Comrade Jiang Aiguo would come back to check it again, which would lead to a big misunderstanding.
After returning home, she chatted with her grandma and uncle for a while, played with Xiaoqi for a bit, and then, saying she was tired, went back to her room first to begin her life as a hard-working ox.
That night, Su Meng huffed and puffed as she harvested more than two acres of wheat.
After resting, we harvested some more fruits and vegetables.
Thinking that the fruit and vegetable plots took up too much space, some of it was set aside to be used for planting rare medicinal herbs.
However, due to a lack of seeds, the land was left uncultivated for the time being.
Then, she went straight into the study.
What she didn't know was that it was wise of her not to take the machine with her.
When the night is deep and quiet, the light in that room at the research institute is as bright as day.
Comrade Jiang Aiguo gripped a handful of rice tightly in both hands and stood in front of the double-drum threshing machine.
Commander Tang also had one in his hand and stood behind.
Amidst the deafening roar, they carefully placed the rice stalks on the high-speed rotating drum and brushed them back and forth and side to side.
In the blink of an eye, the threshing was complete, leaving only the bare straw.
Amidst the booming sounds, Commander Tang shouted, "This is damn useful!"
It's labor-saving, fast, and the threshing is thorough. Comrade Su's brain is really useful!
I don't know if Jiang Aiguo heard me, but he bared his white teeth and yelled from across the street, "It works well! But it's a gas guzzler."
After playing two rounds, Jiang Aiguo turned off the diesel engine without waiting for Commander Tang's approval.
The machine shook twice, and then the room became completely quiet.
Commander Tang, holding a handful of rice that hadn't been threshed yet, glared at Jiang Aiguo and said, "You stingy man, can't you try a little more?"
Jiang Aiguo chuckled ingratiatingly, "Commander, it's late, you should rest!"
We can't disturb the neighbors, right?
Commander Tang put down the rice, pointed at Jiang Aiguo and laughed, "You old rascal... I helped you get Comrade Su, so don't let him suffer any injustice."
Jiang Aiguo readily agreed, lovingly touching the newly manufactured machine, his eyes crinkling with a smile. "Tomorrow, I'll have Comrade Su submit a report to apply for production and promotion, hehe!"
This is the first agricultural machinery research product of their firearms research institute.
This needs to be taken seriously.
When Commander Tang turned around unintentionally, he saw Comrade Jiang Aiguo walking with an air of indifference, and he shook his head and chuckled.
The next day, Su Meng could hear the roar of diesel engines coming from the research institute from afar.
I knew that Comrade Jiang Aiguo was definitely conducting experiments.
As soon as she reached the door, the old gatekeeper smiled and gave her a thumbs up, "Comrade Su, you're the one!"
No one expected that she, a delicate young girl, would be studying agricultural machinery.
