Chapter 193 Research Team
The three of them soon arrived at Jiang Haitang's office.
Jiang Haitang poured tea for the two of them, and the steam rising from the enamel cup enshrined the textile process flow chart hanging in the office.
"Come on, sit down. We need to have a good chat today."
The three of them sat down around a slightly mottled wooden desk, becoming more and more engaged in the conversation. Pencils rustled on the draft paper, and the originally blank paper was gradually filled with various formulas, charts and annotations.
As the discussion deepened, the light in Jiang Haitang's eyes became brighter.
It was not until the bell for the end of get off work suddenly rang that Jiang Haitang realized that the clock had quietly moved two large spaces.
She brushed the hair around her ears a little embarrassedly. "I haven't realized we've been chatting for so long. I'm so sorry for interrupting your meal."
"No, no, after talking with you today, we suddenly see the light." Master Wang said sincerely.
Before, he didn't know much about this young female engineer, he only knew that she was very capable. But after meeting her today and chatting with her, he realized that the word "capable" was not enough to describe her.
Jiang Haitang was thinking about the follow-up research plan in his mind. "Let's talk about it another day. When the time comes, I'll find a few more comrades to join us."
Duan Changhe, Li Jingcheng, and the two newcomers recommended by Teacher Shu and Teacher Gu quickly flashed through my mind. They might be able to bring new ideas.
At present, the research capabilities of the factory are still insufficient, but it would be good if all the forces that can be integrated were integrated.
"Can I invite my cousin over as well? He works at the Provincial Chemical Research Institute and should have a say in this matter." Zhou Xiaomei hesitated for a moment before stating her request.
Jiang Haitang's originally tired eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had suddenly found a bright light in the darkness.
"That's great, Xiaomei! You're our lucky star! With the expert's guidance, our research will definitely avoid many detours."
In the afternoon, Jiang Haitang borrowed Liu Hongmei's bicycle and rushed to the provincial library.
The library was filled with the faint scent of ink and the aroma of wooden bookshelves. She walked between the towering rows of bookshelves, her eyes focused and eager. Her fingertips gently brushed the spines of books, and from time to time she pulled out a book, quickly flipping through the table of contents and chapters, her brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.
When I got home, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm orange hue on the front yard.
Lu Liangchen and Xiao Taozi were turning the soil. His strong and powerful arms were exposed under his rolled-up sleeves. With the rise and fall of the shovel, the soil was loosened.
Little Taozi was wearing a slightly crooked straw hat and was digging the soil diligently with a small shovel. She looked serious and cute.
"Mom!" Seeing Jiang Haitang come in, Xiao Taozi dropped the small shovel in her hand and flew towards Jiang Haitang like a happy little bird.
"Be careful, don't fall."
Jiang Haitang bent down with a smile and gently rubbed the top of her daughter's head with her chin, while the book in her arms remained steady.
These are all treasures she carefully selected from the provincial library, professional books on textile technology and dye chemistry, some of which are translated into foreign languages and cannot be bought in ordinary bookstores.
It can be said that each book carries hope and is the key to solving the problems of textile technology.
Lu Liangchen straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stuck the shovel into the soft soil.
"Spring is here. I see other people have started plowing the soil. I came back early today, so I've already done it. I'm just waiting for you to decide what to plant." His eyes fell gently on Jiang Haitang.
Jiang Haitang looked at Lu Liangchen's figure, which was gilded by the setting sun, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She carefully surveyed the open space in the front yard, quickly planning a planting plan in her mind. "Tomatoes and cucumbers here, leeks and green onions over there. A few pumpkins, two rows of peppers, and eggplants. That's basically it."
"Didn't you say that we would plant flowers in the front yard and vegetables in the back yard?" Lu Liangchen asked doubtfully.
Jiang Haitang herself had forgotten that when Lu Liangchen applied for the yard and asked her whether he should plant flowers or vegetables, she answered that he would plant flowers in the front yard.
Being reminded by Lu Liangchen, the smile on his face instantly deepened.
At that time, she was trying to guess what the city girl was thinking, and she didn't know that Lu Liangchen was sincerely asking her what she thought.
"At that time, I thought you were getting married, and I thought the person you wanted to marry, the deputy director, must be a city girl. So I made a guess and gave you this suggestion."
Thinking of the misunderstanding at that time, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, her laughter was crisp and pleasant.
At that time, she didn't dare to imagine that one day she would be with Lu Liangchen, and she didn't know that Lu Liangchen really took her answer to heart.
Lu Liangchen: ...
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
A knowing smile flashed in Lu Liangchen's eyes. He knew that a girl of Jiang Haitang's age still liked flowers in her heart.
He silently made a decision in his heart to reserve some space in the small yard, and when he had time, he would go and buy some flowers and plants to give her a surprise.
After the family had dinner, Xiao Taozi, who was busy turning the soil, was tired and went to bed early.
Jiang Haitang and Lu Liangchen sat on the sofa and talked. Jiang Haitang briefly told Lu Liangchen about what she had talked about with Zhou Xiaomei and Wang Tiezhu today, as well as her plans for the next few days.
"Do you need my help?" Lu Liangchen asked, his eyes full of concern.
Jiang Haitang hesitated for a moment. "Not for now. By the way, Zhou Xiaomei said her cousin works at the Provincial Chemical Research Institute. We'll ask him to come and take a look."
"Zheng Mingyuan?" Lu Liangchen raised an eyebrow. "He's an expert in the chemical industry, so it would be great if we could invite him."
"Do you know him?" Jiang Haitang asked in surprise.
"I met him at the provincial industrial conference last year." Lu Liangchen smiled. "Do you need me to invite him?"
Jiang Haitang shook her head.
"Let Xiaomei try first. If that doesn't work, I'll ask you to step in. You're the factory director, and your status is different. If you step in, it means formal cooperation, and now is not the time."
She knew in her heart that she didn't want to cause trouble for Lu Liangchen unless it was absolutely necessary, and she also wanted to get things done with her own abilities.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Lu Liangchen grabbed Jiang Haitang's hand and said, "Let's go. I'll take you home."
Jiang Haitang smiled and said, "It's just two steps away. I can go back by myself. You've been busy for so long. It's finally time for some free time. Go to bed early."
"No, I'm your fiancé and I have to send you back." Lu Liangchen's tone left no room for doubt.
In the end, Jiang Haitang followed Lu Liangchen's wishes and asked him to take her home. She closed the gate of the yard under Lu Liangchen's reluctant gaze.
Jiang Haitang spread out the borrowed books in front of the desk, and the light from the desk lamp softly shone on her focused profile.
The red pen in her hand moved back and forth between the pages of the book, and she occasionally recorded key points in the notebook.
The night deepened outside the window, but she was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, unaware of the passage of time.
The notebook in front of her was already filled with densely packed notes and sketches.
Although her research target is military fabrics, Jiang Haitang will also record any content that is needed in other textile fields. These may become important references for future research.
That night, Jiang Haitang found relevant books in the study in her dream. She carefully memorized the contents of the books, even some subtle parameters and experimental steps.
The next morning, after a quick breakfast, Jiang Haitang returned to the office and immediately began to organize the knowledge he had learned in his dream.
Turning the pages one by one, Jiang Haitang marked the key points in the book and also put forward some improvement ideas based on the actual situation of the factory.
By the time she finished all this, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon and her stomach started to growl.
Seeing that Jiang Haitang was still busy, Duan Changhe and Li Jingcheng came over to call her to eat together. Duan Changhe knocked on the door and poked his head in, "Mr. Jiang, shall we go to the cafeteria for lunch together?"
"Let's go to the cafeteria together. I'll get some food and go home to eat with Xiao Taozi." Jiang Haitang stretched his stiff muscles and spoke with a smile.
Maintaining one posture for a long time made her shoulders and neck a little sore.
"You can't always do this. It's not good for your health. You need to exercise properly." Li Jingcheng looked at Jiang Haitang and knew that she had been busy all morning and had not had a moment's rest.
"I understand, Jingcheng, Changhe. Yesterday, Master Wang, Comrade Zhou Xiaomei, and I were conducting research and discovered that the dyeing process currently used in the factory has a high loss rate. This is likely due to..."
While locking the door, Jiang Haitang told two young technicians about his discovery yesterday.
She explained in detail the principle of the combination of dye molecular structure and fabric fibers, as well as the influence of factors such as temperature and time on the dyeing effect.
The two smiled at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Mr. Jiang is truly a workaholic, and this is something they both can learn from.
"We are planning to set up a special research group recently. Are you interested?" Jiang Haitang suddenly changed the subject and asked.
The two looked at each other. Special research group?
They had not heard of this news, but when they heard this, they subconsciously felt that this was definitely not an ordinary research topic, and they were both curious and expectant.
"We do!"
"willing!"
The two answered almost simultaneously, their voices filled with enthusiasm and drive.
Jiang Haitang didn't expect the two to answer so straightforwardly, "You didn't even ask me what the topic was?"
"No matter what the topic is, as long as it can contribute to the textile industry, we are willing to do it."
The two answered in unison.
Jiang Haitang smiled. These two young people were indeed extraordinary. She was very pleased with their enthusiasm and sense of responsibility for their work.
The three of them walked towards the cafeteria together, chatting about some technical topics as they walked.
"Mr. Jiang, our dyeing workshop has also noticed the loss rate problem you mentioned." Duan Changhe was very interested in talking about this topic.
"Last month, we had a batch of army green fabric, and a full 30 bolts were wasted during dyeing. We had to treat them as defective products, which was heartbreaking."
Li Jingcheng also said that when he thought of that batch of fabrics, his face was full of regret.
"I later researched this batch of military green fabric and found that its color fastness didn't meet standards, and its fiber breaking strength was also problematic. I suspect it was due to issues with the dyeing temperature and the ratio of auxiliaries."
"Engineer Jiang, could it be that the dye fixative we're using now has too few ingredients? Also, the dyeing process seems to be taking too long, and the energy consumption is too high."
…
Jiang Haitang looked at the two young men with a serious expression, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
The afternoon sun shone through the shade of the trees onto the three people, stretching their shadows very long.
"Tomorrow is Sunday. Come to my office. Several other comrades will also be here." When they were almost at the cafeteria, Jiang Haitang said to the two of them, "Would you like to work overtime for free this weekend?"
The two of them had no objection and agreed immediately.
