"Guzhou."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and greeted him.
Seeing the other person's dazed look, she thought that he had forgotten her, so she introduced herself, "I'm Jiang Wanyue. We were in the same high school and were desk mates. Don't you remember me?"
“Remember, remember.”
Gu Zhou finally came back to his senses.
After learning that Jiang Wanyue came to the provincial capital, he hurried to the machinery factory to look for her, but could not find her anywhere.
I had already given up, but unexpectedly, I met you here.
When he first saw her, he almost didn't recognize her. How come she had become so different from before?
The innocent girl before has grown mature, her eyes are determined, and she is dressed so simply that you can tell at a glance that she has suffered a lot.
"So you two know each other." Mei Gaofei said with a smile, "Great, let's go eat together."
On the way from the machinery factory to the state-owned hotel, Jiang Wanyue learned from their conversation that Gu Zhou had inherited his father's mantle and was also an employee in the R&D workshop of the machinery factory. Everyone in the unit called him Engineer Gu. He was a colleague of Mei Gaofei, and both of them were studying the large tractor project.
Mei Gaofei was busy ordering food and ordered all the food the restaurant had that day. There were five dishes in total, which was considered a very sumptuous meal in those days.
"Gu Zhou, do you know what suggestions Teacher Jiang made?" Mei Gaofei said, "We have been thinking about how to reduce the waste of the harvester. Teacher Jiang took a look at our model and suggested that we change the traditional flat blade to a wavy blade. In this way, the harvester can harvest crops more accurately. I roughly calculated that the waste can be controlled below 5%."
Gu Zhou was completely stunned.
He was a technician, and when the other party suggested changing the knife shape, an arithmetic model had already appeared in his mind.
The result is indeed as Mei Gaofei said, it can minimize the losses.
It was so simple that it solved a problem they had always had.
He looked at Jiang Wanyue in disbelief: "You, you... I remember that when you were in high school, you didn't like science. How do you know all this?"
"I don't understand." Jiang Wanyue said, "I have worked in the countryside for many years and have harvested rice. I just put forward my own opinions. I really don't understand this aspect."
Gu Zhou was silent for a while, then said, "Didn't you get married as soon as you came to the countryside? Why do you still need to go to the fields yourself?"
It was because he learned from Jiang Rongjun that she hastily married another man a few months after going to the countryside, so he gave up.
He even gave up on himself and married Jiang Rongjun without thinking.
"Gu Zhou, why are you so traditional? The country has said that women hold up half the sky, and even if you get married, you can't just rely on men." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "All women in the countryside have to work in the fields to earn work points. Do women in the city not have to work after they get married?"
Mei Gaofei tried to smooth things over, "Gu Zhou, isn't your lover also at work? Why are you making such a fuss when Teacher Jiang comes to work?"
Gu Zhou paused for a moment before speaking: "When you return to the provincial capital, will you go back to the Jiang family?"
"I came to the provincial capital to do business. Why would I go back to the Jiang family?" Jiang Wanyue turned to look at Mei Gaofei, "Engineer Mei, let's talk about the tractor again."
Mei Gaofei immediately said: "In fact, there is still a technical problem. In our ideal, the ground in the countryside is flat, but in actual observation, we found that the terrain is somewhat undulating, and crops are not assembly line products, and they are not neatly harvested at a standard height. It is still a bit difficult to achieve accurate harvesting..."
Jiang Wanyue frowned and thought for a moment.
How did the harvester she drove in her previous life achieve such precise harvesting?
After thinking for a while, he had an idea. He considered it and said, "This is indeed a difficult problem. How about installing a spirit level on the tractor and installing the spirit level in the sensor? When the terrain is uneven, the spirit level will tell the sensor, and the sensor will tell the harvester, which will then adjust the height immediately. The cutting blade can be controlled to lower and the maximum range of harvesting can be achieved..."
While she was talking, Mei Gaofei interrupted her: "I know about the level, but what is a sensor?"
Jiang Wanyue paused.
There are no sensors in this era?
She pressed her head hard and vaguely remembered that a certain country seemed to have started to vigorously develop sensors around the 1980s.
It is now 1974, and sensors should have begun to be used, but they have certainly not been applied to the field of agricultural machinery.
She doesn't know whether there are any in China.
"Sensors, to put it simply, are used to give machines the five senses and achieve machine automation." Gu Zhou spoke slowly, "Last year when I was studying abroad, my professor had a similar topic, which was to explore more uses for sensors. In the past two years, our country has also begun research, but now, sensors are mostly used in precision instruments, such as aerospace missiles, and other fields have not yet been involved."
Mei Gaofei turned his head and said, "I have never heard of this thing. How did Teacher Jiang know about it?"
Jiang Wanyue wiped the non-existent cold sweat from her head and said, "Well, I accidentally met a comrade from the Soviet Union before. She told me about sensors, and I remembered them. I thought they were common things, but I didn't expect that they are not yet popular in our country."
Zhao Xiangyang asked curiously, "When did Teacher Jiang meet Comrade Su?"
"About two years ago, I went to the county as an educated youth to attend a meeting." Jiang Wanyue made up a story, "At the meeting, a Soviet man shared his experience of going to the countryside with us..."
Anyway, she was the only one in the entire team who attended the meeting, so no one would know if she talked nonsense.
"Teacher Jiang, you really helped us a lot." Mei Gaofei's eyes lit up. "It's easy to deal with now that we know that sensors can solve the problem. Next, let the factory send Gu Zhou and me to Beijing to visit major factories in Beijing. We will definitely be able to buy the first batch of obsolete sensors. Once the sensors are in place, we will build the harvester. Then, invite Teacher Jiang to try it out."
Jiang Wanyue raised her teacup: "Then I wish you success and will wait for your good news!"
Several people clinked their glasses together and drank them all.
After the meal was almost over, Gu Zhou said, "I heard that your husband, Wanyue, is an agricultural technician in your brigade. I have some books on this subject. Do you want to bring them back to your husband?"
Mei Gaofei was surprised and asked, "Gu Zhou, how come you even know what Teacher Jiang's husband does?"
"My wife and Wanyue are a family." Gu Zhou said, "Wanyue wrote back before, so I know about her husband."
"So they are a family." Sun Zongyuan raised his head, "Then how come Engineer Gu didn't know that Teacher Jiang's lover had passed away?"
The chopsticks in Gu Zhou's hand fell.
He looked at Jiang Wanyue, not knowing what to say. After a long while, he finally uttered two words: "Sorry."
