Not long after the two men finished their conversation, An Jingzhi was called to the director's office of the institute.
"I guess you've seen the newspaper too?" The director of the institute smiled very kindly.
Every researcher in the institute is a national treasure.
"I saw it." An Jingzhi said with a smile.
"Is there any reward you want?" asked the director of the institute.
An Jingzhi shook his head. "My parents are workers at the Sanhua Steel Plant, and I'm a researcher in our country. The government takes care of everything from birth to old age and sickness to death. I don't need any rewards."
The other party smiled with satisfaction and said, "You are a good comrade." It is precisely because of these unknown and selfless people who contribute that China can develop better and better.
"You've been here for about half a year, right? Have you encountered any difficulties at work?"
How could there be any difficulty? The institute almost always met his needs. Many of the materials An Jingzhi requested were not available in China at all, and the government had to negotiate and exchange them for large amounts of grain.
Fortunately, An Jingzhi did not disappoint their expectations, and every material was used where it should be used.
"No problem." An Jingzhi thought for a moment and said, "We'll start formally testing high-precision machine tools tomorrow. If you're free, you can come and have a look."
The director of the institute immediately agreed, "Okay. I'll definitely come tomorrow."
They spent countless resources on the machine tools. Even if An Jingzhi didn't say it, he would have to go.
The next day, before the machine tool test began, a lot of people gathered inside and outside.
Anyone who had nothing to do came to watch, and even if they had something to do, those who were not in a hurry put it down temporarily.
"Move it 3mm to the left."
"Yes, get to work."
An Jingzhi carefully directed Hou Wenyuan to conduct the test.
The sound of the machine tool when it starts is quieter than that of ordinary machine tools.
Everyone watched the effect of the machine humming at work.
In a short while, a large number of parts were produced.
After counting, I realized that 20,000 parts were made in just half an hour.
Ordinary machine tools can only produce a few hundred or a few thousand pieces in half an hour.
The director of the institute couldn't stop smiling.
Although he is the director here, he is actually just a logistics staff member for these precious researchers.
He is also proud of the contributions made by these researchers, which proves that he has done a good job in supporting work.
"That's great. I'll report it immediately. It won't be long before our country's factories can use our own machine tools." By then, the manufacturing speed of K49 will be further increased.
Several old researchers with gray beards sighed, "He is indeed a young talent. His brain makes money faster than us old guys."
"It's only been a short time since we got here, and they've already finished this high-precision machine tool."
"With this precision machine tool, coupled with the K49, our country's restoration to glory is just around the corner."
…
A few years passed in a flash.
An Jingzhi felt a little dazed when he stepped onto the cement road above the Sanhua Steel Plant again.
This is his first time home since he went to the Capital Institute.
In recent years, he has continued to make contributions to aviation aircraft.
Now China's airspace rights have been completely returned to its hands.
"Jingzhi?" Wang Caiping and others were the first to discover An Jingzhi.
Thinking back to when he first came back from the United States, it was Wang Caiping and the others who first discovered him, but at that time they were wary of him like a thief.
And now?
He looked at the aunties who were surrounding him and talking about his health, and couldn't help but smile.
"You've lost so much weight. You haven't been home in the past few years. Your mother misses you so much."
Wang Caiping asked with concern.
"Your mother said you were going to the capital to be a researcher. I know you have your own work to do, but you should at least come back once a year. You don't write often, and it's rare for you to call. And you haven't been home for several years."
"Yes, Jingzhi. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are indeed going a bit too far." Another lady echoed.
In fact, An Jingzhi could have come back in recent years, but China was involved in a war at that time. He wanted to quickly increase China's air superiority, so he chose not to go home.
"Yes, what you ladies said is right. I will come back to visit my parents often in the future." An Jingzhi admitted his mistake sincerely.
After he did this, the old ladies felt a little embarrassed. Everyone knows that the work of some people in this era is special.
"Okay, I won't say anything more. I know it's not easy for you. It's not easy for anyone. You should go home soon. Your mother will definitely be very happy if she knows you're back." Wang Caiping said.
Only after An Jingzhi walked away did they continue their discussion.
"What kind of job does Jingzhi do? He even has two guards protecting him personally. I don't think our factory director even gets this kind of treatment."
"I don't know. We'd better not ask about this kind of thing. Stop chatting and go, go, go, go. If you're late, you won't be able to buy the things at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Wang Caiping's words reminded several other people.
"Yes, let's get going quickly. It was so convenient before there were no tickets. Now we need both money and tickets to buy things."
"Can you say that?" Wang Caiping warned, "The leaders must have their reasons for making such arrangements."
…
Looking at Li Hongjuan, who was almost the same as he remembered, An Jingzhi smiled with relief.
Perhaps because he often corresponded with his family, Li Hongjuan and her husband had nothing to worry about and were not sad about his departure.
On the contrary, because they guessed what An Jingzhi was doing, the couple would secretly feel proud of their son every time they saw the report in the newspaper.
When An Jingzhi was not communicating with them, they relied on the reports in the newspaper to get by.
"Mom." An Jingzhi walked into the room quietly, looked at Li Hongjuan who was busy in the kitchen, and said softly.
Li Hongjuan was so scared that the food in her hand fell to the ground. She turned around and saw the familiar face in front of her. She burst into great joy almost instantly.
Without thinking, he walked up and hugged his tall son.
"Jingzhi!"
An Jingzhi hugged her back, "Mom, I'm back."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Li Hongjuan's eyes were red. She let go of the other person and looked An Jingzhi up and down.
"I've lost weight."
"Wait a minute, Mom will go buy some meat to nourish you." As she said that, she was about to walk out the door.
An Jingzhi quickly grabbed the resolute Li Hongjuan and said with a smile, "Mom, don't be so anxious. Let's eat lunch like this today. I'll eat whatever you eat. Let's sit down and talk."
Li Hongjuan reacted and agreed. "Okay, okay, you see Mom forgot about it. Let me talk to you. Wait a minute. I'll go ask someone to get your dad some meat dishes from the cafeteria."
