Chapter 153 Completes the Design of a Lightweight Tractor
"If it works out, it will be a new source of income for the team and bring some benefits to the members. If it doesn't work out, I will stop immediately and never mention it again. I will leave everything to your arrangements."
Xie Jianguo and Liu Zhengwen exchanged a glance, seemingly exchanging opinions with their eyes.
Xu Zhili's words were reasonable and well-founded. She understood the group's difficulties, proposed a relatively safe trial plan, and expressed her attitude of taking responsibility, which made them hesitate.
After weighing their options, Xie Jianguo and Liu Zhengwen ultimately agreed to Xu Zhili's decision.
After all, no one is willing to risk their life. Everyone knows that Xu Zhili is strong and capable.
However, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl, and even with her outstanding abilities, the fact that she was going hunting alone in the mountains still made people worry.
Just after leaving Secretary Liu's house, Xu Zhili held her younger brother Xu Zhian's hand and walked home.
She lowered her head and asked softly, "An'an, were you scared at Uncle Liu's house today? I was busy just now and didn't have time to look after you."
Xu Zhian raised her little face and shook her head vigorously: "I'm not afraid! I know that my sister is busy with something very important. Sister, I just saw Brother Xie wearing a green uniform, just like the People's Liberation Army uncles in the magazine. Is he a great hero?"
Xu Zhili couldn't help but laugh and said, "You little scatterbrain, you were just calling him big brother, how come you're calling him uncle of the People's Liberation Army now?"
Xu Zhili was amused by her younger brother's words and gently flicked his nose: "You little rascal, you have a sharp eye. Yes, your big brother Xie is a member of the People's Liberation Army, protecting our country. He is a very powerful hero."
"When I grow up, I want to be a soldier in the People's Liberation Army and a great hero."
Xu Zhian's childish voice was full of longing. "Okay, then you'd better eat well first, and grow tall and strong quickly."
Xu Zhili responded with a smile, but her heart was stirred by her brother's words.
After finally coaxing Xu Zhian to sleep, I watched his fluffy head rest on the pillow, his little brows relaxed, his even breathing carrying the light, gentle breath unique to a child.
Xu Zhili breathed a sigh of relief and gently tucked the blanket around his head.
"Enter!"
Her fingertips traced across the void, and after the familiar dizziness subsided, she found herself standing in her own private space.
Here, the clouds and mist swirl, and the vegetation is lush. With a thought, a clear hot spring appears not far away, its steam rising and carrying a faint fragrance of grass and trees.
Xu Zhili shed her chores and clothes, and slowly stepped into the water. The cool spring water just reached her shoulders, as if she were being gently supported by a pair of gentle hands. The fatigue of the past few days seemed to be quietly absorbed by the spring water, and her limbs and body relaxed.
She slowly closed her eyes, immersing herself completely in the tranquility that was rare in ordinary times.
Just then, the iridescent leaves of the Tree of Life, like dreamlike sprites, drifted down gently and flew lightly past her, as if telling a mysterious and beautiful story.
Suddenly, a clear and cheerful voice rang out: "Master, Master, would you like to taste the newly ripened Fruit of Life?"
That Tree of Life stands right next to the Five Hot Springs.
On its branch, it steadily holds a fruit of life.
Xu Zhili did not open her eyes, but only slightly parted her pink lips.
At this moment, the Tree of Life named Ya Ya tilted its trunk slightly, and its branches, as if imbued with sentience, steadily held the Fruit of Life and gently offered it to Xu Zhili's lips.
Xu Zhili had just taken a shower, and her long, black hair was still damp.
She loosely wrapped a light apricot-colored headscarf around her head, covering most of her hair, leaving only a few strands hanging down her neck. Water droplets from the ends of her hair slid down her softly sculpted her neck and into her collar.
She was wearing a soft, pure white nightgown with delicate off-white lace embroidered around the neckline, which made her skin appear even more translucent.
She sat at her desk by the window, with a highly absorbent hair towel beside her.
Holding a corner of the towel between her fingertips, she gently pressed it against the top of her head, her movements unhurried and deliberate, as if she were handling a fragile treasure.
The stray hairs on her forehead were carefully tucked back with a headscarf, revealing her smooth forehead and defined brow bone. This way, no strands of hair would fall down and disturb her view of the table when she looked down.
Moonlight streamed through the sheer curtains, casting soft shadows on her pajamas, giving her an air of tranquility and gentleness.
Xu Zhili carefully dried her hair and casually picked up a clip to secure the strands.
She flexed her fingers and her gaze fell on a large expanse of pristine white paper in front of her.
She took a deep breath, held her breath, and began to draw on the paper.
He secretly thought to himself that he must prepare a big surprise for the Xiangyang Brigade this time, and he would start by designing a tractor.
Since we are in the wonderful world created in this book, if we want to promote technological development and bring about change, the first thing we should do is design a lightweight tractor.
It is important to know that traditional tractors have many drawbacks; they are bulky and extremely inconvenient to operate.
Moreover, it is prone to malfunctions and lacks stability. More importantly, the engine power is significantly insufficient, which greatly affects work efficiency.
Therefore, it is imperative to create a lightweight tractor that can overcome these shortcomings.
Xu Zhili acted immediately.
She first found a bunch of old, discarded parts in her spatial storage, which she usually collected from abandoned warehouses near the village.
She locked herself in a small workroom, racking her brains over the parts, her desk piled high with sketches.
To make the tractor lighter, she decided to use steel instead of the traditional heavy iron, a material that is both strong and lightweight.
When designing the operating device, she pondered repeatedly, simplifying those cumbersome steps to make the operation more user-friendly.
Regarding the issue of insufficient engine power, she drew on some concepts from modern engines, redesigned the intake and exhaust systems, and also improved the fuel injection system.
But the process was not smooth. She tried countless times and failed countless times. Parts were scattered all over the ground, and her hands were blistered.
When Ya Ya came out and saw how hard her owner was working, she advised her to give up.
"Master, Master, this is too difficult, let's stop struggling."
But Xu Zhili gritted her teeth, her eyes resolute, "I will definitely be able to design it."
"But, Master..."
After studying all night, just as she was about to fall asleep, she finally managed to draw a fairly satisfactory design in her drowsy state.
The next morning, the sky was still just beginning to lighten, and the dawn gently enveloped the earth like a light veil.
Xu Zhili slowly woke up from her sleep, feeling as if her head was about to split open. This was clearly a "side effect" of sleeping at her desk all night.
