Gu Yue explained the principles of the chicken incubator to the experienced technicians, and most of them understood it.
Director Zhang participated in the whole process, because what Gu Yue said was easy to understand, and he was a senior technician, so he basically had it all under control.
In the afternoon, he personally sent the two of them to the entrance of the machinery factory.
Song Chu stopped and asked, "Director Zhang, when can you produce the chicken incubator?"
Director Zhang thought for a moment and said, "If we do it exactly as Xiao Gu said before, I estimate it will take about a week to ten days."
"You'd better come back in three to five days. If we encounter technical difficulties, we can ask Xiao Gu. If you find any problems in the product, we can make changes there." He added.
Song Chu glanced at Gu Yue and saw him nod. She said to Director Zhang, "Then we'll come back in a few days."
"Okay, take care, young comrades." Director Zhang nodded with a smile.
On the way back, Song Chu asked Gu Yue: "Gu Xueshen, if the chicken incubator is successful, can it be used to hatch ducks?"
Gu Yue had already thoroughly read the books and information about incubators that Song Chu had given him before, and replied without hesitation: "Okay."
"In fact, when I was drawing the incubator structure, I thought of hatching ducks or geese, so I deliberately designed the egg-holding area to be retractable."
"However, the temperature and humidity of duck and goose eggs need to be readjusted. Duck and goose eggs are larger in size and produce more metabolic heat. Failure to adjust the temperature will cause embryo death."
When it comes to these things, Gu Yue is very professional.
After explaining, he said, "Don't mention that you want to raise ducks again."
Song Chu chuckled: "I plan to open a duck and goose farm once the chicken farm is stable, and the duck and goose farms will be the main ones."
Gu Yue was puzzled. "Why do we mainly raise ducks and geese? Compared to ducks and geese, people usually prefer to eat chickens."
"Because I want to make down jackets." Song Chu also got the inspiration today.
After talking with the garment factory today, Director Wu took her to a warehouse that specifically stored "defective products" and asked her to roughly pick out the clothes she wanted.
There were a lot of summer and winter clothes in stock, and Song Chu also saw cotton coats that were bulky, unsightly, and generally not very warm.
This is the south, and unlike the north where we have kangs, the winters here are quite chilly. She is afraid of the cold, so she misses her old down jackets and down quilts.
She had read information before and found out that down jackets only became available gradually in the early 1980s, so she could make them in advance.
After the reform and opening up, it can be produced on a large scale and can be sold not only throughout the country, but also far away across the country.
Opening duck and goose factories now can lay a good foundation and better provide duck and goose down.
She added, "As for duck and goose meat, we can open a food processing factory, vacuum-pack and seal them for sale nationwide. If they taste better, we will definitely have no problem selling them."
In later generations, there were many vacuum-packed prepared foods, and she liked to buy them when she was in college.
Gu Yue knew a little about vacuum packaging. Today's canned meat uses this technology.
"You mean canned meat and fish?"
"Not that kind, I'm talking about a vacuum skin packaging..." Song Chu roughly explained the technology to Gu Yue.
She knew that vacuum skin packaging for fresh and cooked meat was widely used in Europe and the United States in the 1970s, but it was not introduced in China until the late 1980s.
If they succeed first, our country won't have to introduce foreign technology anymore.
"Of course, otherwise why would I tell you so much?" Song Chu said with a smile.
"..." Gu Yue wanted to hold his forehead with his hand. It turned out that after she told him so much, she wanted to use free technical workers again.
"Do you want me to study this vacuum packaging technology, and then we can make this machine ourselves?" Although he was asking a question, his tone was somewhat affirmative.
There was no way, he already knew Song Chu's routine.
Song Chu chuckled: "Gu Zhiqing is indeed a genius student, he is smart."
She suddenly found that the other half of her space had moved into Gu Yue's mind, which seemed to be a good thing. After all, she was not good at these aspects, and it was not easy to realize them simply by having ideas and information.
But after having Gu Yue, she can ask him to do whatever she thinks of. How wonderful.
With his high IQ and high ability of comprehension, plus the books and materials she provided, he could definitely figure it out.
Gu Yue said helplessly: "The chicken incubator has not been produced yet, and you are thinking about vacuum packaging technology. You really have a mind of your own."
Song Chu retorted: "Gu Xueshen, I have to criticize you for this. You have an old-fashioned way of thinking, and I am keeping up with the times. You have to learn from me."
"Do I still need to learn from you?" Gu Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Song Chu said confidently: "Of course, you have to learn to look further ahead like me. We can't just limit ourselves to this village, this county, this city, but we have to go to the whole country and the world."
"This technology is already available in Europe and America, and its applications are becoming more and more widespread, but we don't have it. If we want to use it in the future, we will have to import it from abroad, and we don't know how badly we will be cheated by them."
"Then why don't we do it ourselves? When we become the world leader, we can turn around and cheat them. Just thinking about it makes me happy."
According to her understanding, after the reform and opening up, because many technologies were leading in foreign countries, domestic companies were often cheated by capitalists when they tried to introduce them, and they also suffered heavy losses in terms of price and conditions.
For example, a batch of advanced textile machines were introduced from Xiaori, but their people will not tell you how to repair them if they break down, let alone provide repair services. If there is a problem or it breaks down, you have to spend money to hire their professionals to repair it.
Not only does it cost more money and waste more time, but the technology is still in the hands of others. What a pity.
After listening to this, Gu Yue was thoughtful and felt a kind of unprecedented touch in his heart.
Yes, their country is lagging behind now, but it does not mean it will always lag behind. If they can make these technologies surpass Europe and the United States and lead the world, just thinking about it will make people feel passionate and proud.
Seeing Gu Yue was silent, Song Chu asked with a smile: "Gu Xueshen, do you think what I said is right?"
Gu Yue came back to his senses, "That's right."
“Should you learn from me?”
“I should learn from you.”
"Should we study these technologies carefully and develop them to benefit the country and the people?"
"Yes."
"Master Gu, the glorious mission is now entrusted to you."
"After all, you just want to trick me into making a technical contribution to the food processing factory you want to open in the future." Gu Yue could see through her.
