After he left, Ma Guoliang lit a cigarette for himself and said to Dong Jixiang, "Old Dong, what do you think is the best position to choose when we switch defense to the Northeast next year?"
Dong Jixiang thought for a moment and said, "Based on what the great master said yesterday, and the old leader's previous speculation, I think we should go for the most difficult one."
"You mean, guarding the border?"
"right!"
"But as far as I know, the military district should have other arrangements for the Northeast Border Guard this time!"
"What do you think?" Dong Jixiang asked.
"I am not only considering the problem of living environment. According to what the old leader said, there are several forestry farms and labor camps near the forest area over there, which may all be transferred to our base. Although I don't know what the old leader means by this arrangement, if our base is closer to the forest area, the lives of the officers and soldiers should not be too much of a problem. Isn't it said that if you live by the mountain, you can eat by the mountain; if you live by the sea, you can eat by the sea. If we really go to the forest area, we don't have to worry about food." Ma Guoliang said.
"That makes sense. Let's do as you say. Besides, the old leader will definitely not harm us. He must have his reasons for making such arrangements." Dong Jixiang said.
"Okay, let's decide this for now. We'll know the details after we go to the meeting in Jingzhou after the New Year." Ma Guoliang said.
After the two of them determined the general direction, Dong Jixiang left Ma Guoliang's office.
When Xu Jianguo returned to the 523 Institute, the production and manufacturing work in the workshop was still in full swing. The three leaders' visit yesterday had a great impact on the workers, so today everyone was like a chicken with its blood injected, working tirelessly on the production line, just for the beautiful dream in their hearts.
"Good morning, Mr. Xu!"
"Good morning, Mr. Xu!"
"Mr. Xu, well done!"
When Xu Jianguo walked into workshop No. 1, some workers immediately noticed him and greeted him one after another. He responded one by one with a smile.
By the time he had inspected all six workshops, Xu Jianguo's face had become numb from smiling. He sighed in his heart that being a star wasn't easy. At the very least, one had to be thick-skinned enough so that he wouldn't feel tired when smiling.
As the workers became more and more skilled, Xu Jianguo now had to keep an eye on the production tasks all the time. After leaving the workshop, he walked towards the small workshop.
Taking out the key from his pocket and opening the padlock, Xu Jianguo walked in. After making himself a cup of tea, he sat down on the chair in front of the desk and began to ponder.
After a long while, Xu Jianguo gradually came back to his senses. He first drank a sip of lukewarm tea, then took out a notebook from the shoulder bag on the table, took out the pen from his breast pocket, and began to write on the notebook.
After a day of contact with the three leaders yesterday, Xu Jianguo learned a lot from their words.
First, the transfer of the Binhai base to the Northeast is basically a done deal.
Second, Mr. Da hopes that the Binhai Base can go to the most difficult places.
Third, the research and design work of new equipment must continue.
Fourth, Mr. Xiao supports Xu Jianguo’s idea of not going to Jingzhou for development for the time being.
Based on the above four points, Xu Jianguo felt that he had to make plans early. After all, he had accompanied his parents in forced labor on a farm in Northeast China for several years in his previous life, so he had a deep understanding of the environment and climate there.
He will set foot on that land again in this life, but unlike before, this time he has plenty of time to prepare.
At present, he doesn’t know approximately which month he will set off. If it is in summer, it will be easy. But if he sets off in winter, the first thing he has to do is to solve the problem of keeping his family warm.
Clothing, housing, food, fuel...
Xu Jianguo wrote several pages in his notebook in one breath, making arrangements for every detail.
For example, when it comes to heating, almost every household in Northeast China has a heated kang, which is not much different from when he was in Sandaliang Village before. However, he always feels that it is not enough, because everyone who has slept on a kang knows that although the heated pit is very warm, if the house is not sealed well enough or the windows are drafty, it will create an awkward situation where one side is cold and the other side is hot.
For example, when a person lies flat on a kang, he will feel hot underneath and cold above.
Xu Jianguo's idea was to ensure the sealing of the house while making a small boiler and water circulation system, and then combining it with radiators to warm the whole house.
Apart from keeping warm, the most difficult thing in Northeast China in winter is probably getting food. Due to the cold weather, it is difficult to get fresh vegetables there, so there is a custom of every family digging vegetable cellars and pickling sauerkraut.
To put it bluntly, this is a way to preserve vegetables so that you can eat them frequently.
Xu Jianguo does not have to worry about the problem of vegetables for his family because he has the space. The grain, meat, fruits and vegetables stored in the warehouse are enough for his family of six to eat for more than a hundred years.
But he couldn't just think about himself, he also had to find a way to solve the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers. After the storm hit, some of the "bad" elements who were sent to the Northeast for labor reform were also targets that Xu Jianguo needed to consider and take care of.
After all, providing timely assistance is better than icing on the cake. What he needs to do is to make good use of this opportunity. If he can help these "bad" elements when they are persecuted, it will also be beneficial to his future development. After all, a large part of these people will be the backbone of Longxia Kingdom in the future.
After figuring this out, Xu Jianguo began to draw sketches in his notebook. If you look closely, you will find that what the sketch depicts is actually the plastic greenhouse that can be seen everywhere in later generations.
The only difference from later generations is that in the middle of these plastic greenhouses, Xu Jianguo also drew black lines, and these black lines were spread all over the greenhouse in the shape of a ball of paper clips.
At the starting point and end point of the black line is a machine with a somewhat strange shape.
Seeing this, some people may have guessed what this is. Yes, the black line is actually the heating pipe, and the strange machine is actually a boiler equipped with a circulation device.
What Xu Jianguo needs to do is to lay heating pipes inside the greenhouse to maintain the temperature inside the greenhouse at all times. In this way, the soldiers at the base will be able to eat green vegetables even in winter.
Of course, these are just his ideas, and he has no idea whether they can succeed. However, there are always more solutions than problems, and it is always right to prepare for a rainy day.
As Xu Jianguo continued to write and draw, time soon came to noon. Just as he continued to work day and night, the door of the small workshop was opened from the outside.
