An Increasingly Solid Blueprint
Chapter 2741 An Increasingly Solid Blueprint
Soon, the car arrived at the office building as indicated.
"Mr. Qian!"
Yang Xiaotao greeted the visitor warmly before he entered the office, and Mr. Qian also happily extended his right hand.
At that moment, a single word came to mind for both of them.
Steady!
Sure enough, after some pleasantries, Yang Xiaotao went straight to the point and asked why he had come.
Mr. Qian did not disappoint Yang Xiaotao. Yesterday afternoon and evening, all the people from the Second Ministry of Machine Building who could attend high-level meetings came.
Then, the meeting voted, and everyone agreed.
"Xiao Yang, our Second Ministry of Machine Building has no problem. We are willing to help with this and will guarantee the completion of the task."
As Mr. Qian spoke sincerely, he then changed the subject, saying, "But there is a prerequisite: the nuclear power plant plan must be approved by the higher authorities."
"Otherwise, many of our comrades would find it difficult to agree!"
Yang Xiaotao immediately nodded upon hearing this, "Mr. Qian, I understand what my comrades are thinking."
"Don't worry, I'll handle the matter at the higher-ups. All you need to do is provide proof of feasibility!"
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Old Qian immediately took out a document from his attendant's bag behind him. "I knew you might need it, so I brought it along this time!"
Yang Xiaotao took the report, flipped through it, and finally nodded and smiled, "With this report, I'm more confident in persuading my superiors..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the phone on the table rang.
Yang Xiaotao smiled at Mr. Qian, then picked up the phone.
"Hello, this is Yang Xiaotao!"
"Hello, Chief!"
Yang Xiaotao knew it was Old Chen just by hearing his voice.
Old Qian, who was standing to the side, also stood up, his face serious.
Are you waiting for a phone call?
When Old Chen's voice came, Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Commander, we've been waiting for a whole day and night!"
"Nonsense! I heard you guys had a great time drinking yesterday!"
Clearly, Old Chen knew about what happened yesterday at noon, and Yang Xiaotao quickly shifted the blame, "Commander, you don't know, it was Old Qin who dragged me there, I couldn't refuse."
"And another thing, sir, they can really drink! Even Old Xu from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building was standing next to me with a wine glass in hand. You can't imagine what it was like..."
"Alright, enough rambling, let's get down to business."
Old Chen could naturally guess what happened yesterday, and he knew that Yang Xiaotao wouldn't lie. After all, those old guys were capable of anything when they got together.
But I feel bad that I've been running around to one office after another for his sake while these guys are indulging in a life of pleasure.
They only exchanged a few words on the phone, but they already knew the priorities of the matter.
"Sir, please speak, I'm listening!"
Old Chen nodded, then said in a serious tone, "After considering it, your white paper has been approved by the higher-ups!"
After Old Chen finished speaking, he waited for Yang Xiaotao's reaction, but the expected excited voice did not come. Instead, Yang Xiaotao whispered, "Commander, I, we would like to add another project!"
Old Chen was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "What project?"
In the office, Yang Xiaotao looked at Qian Lao and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, we've thought about it, and the electricity problem is a real challenge."
"So, we'd like to add a nuclear power plant project!"
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the phone.
Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone and looked at it carefully. Just as he was about to hang up and call back, Chen Lao's angry voice came through the receiver.
"Get over here right now!"
Doodle
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao gave Qian Lao a wry smile.
In the end, Yang Xiaotao still managed to get to Old Chen's office quickly.
Of course, Mr. Qian came along too.
The reason, of course, was that she wanted to speak up for Yang Xiaotao.
After all, this isn't just a matter for the Nine Departments, and he couldn't bring himself to put all the pressure on Yang Xiaotao.
So the two of them went to Mr. Chen's office and were severely scolded by him.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao was the main target of the anger, but even so, Qian Lao could feel Chen Lao's anger.
Although, in his view, this anger was somewhat far-fetched.
Then there is no more then.
When Mr. Chen learned about this, he immediately picked up the phone and made several calls, treating the two men as family.
So, after leaving the office, both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
Because of this, it was settled.
It was only at this moment that Mr. Qian realized that despite Mr. Chen's angry appearance, he had never said that Yang Xiaotao was not doing his job, and he had not even asked about the 30 million.
Instead, they all focused their anger on the trouble Yang Xiaotao had caused them.
This made Mr. Qian's gaze towards Yang Xiaotao become strange.
Clearly, this guy has an unusual relationship with Old Chen. No wonder people say that the Ninth Division is his biological son, while the others are adopted.
I finally met him today.
"Mr. Qian, Mr. Qian?"
"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
Yang Xiaotao asked from the side, and Old Qian immediately snapped out of his reverie, then casually replied, "I just didn't expect it to pass so easily!"
"If this happened where we are, we probably wouldn't be able to hear anything for months!"
"Money really does make things easier!"
Yang Xiaotao opened the car door, and Mr. Qian got in. Hearing Mr. Qian's sigh, Yang Xiaotao laughed, "You think it's all about money!"
Mr. Qian asked curiously, "How so?"
Then Yang Xiaotao started calculating the costs for Old Qian on his fingers, "Do you know how much it costs to build a large thermal power plant?"
Old Qian shook his head; he really didn't know anything about it.
Yang Xiaotao, having learned about the costs associated with electricity shortages in the Northwest, spoke up, saying, "To put it simply, the establishment of a small thermal power plant involves site selection, equipment and materials such as generator sets, cement and steel for blast furnace construction, coal mining and transportation, labor costs, and so on."
"I don't know how much it costs elsewhere, but building a small thermal power plant would cost at least tens of millions."
“But these small thermal power plants are not enough for our Ninth Division, so we need to increase the number.”
"If we were to launch a large-scale project, it would probably cost over 100 million!"
"So, the higher-ups know perfectly well that spending 30 million to build a nuclear power plant is a sure-fire way to make a profit."
"Of course, that's assuming you can actually make it!"
After Yang Xiaotao's analysis, Qian Lao suddenly understood and immediately assured him, "Don't worry about the technology; our Second Ministry of Machine Building has no problem."
"Don't worry about our experience. With the experience gained from the Tianshan Nuclear Power Plant, we will do even better!"
As Mr. Qian spoke confidently, Yang Xiaotao nodded with a smile, then asked, "What about the location?"
Professor Qian was not surprised and immediately said, "This time we plan to build a nuclear power plant along the coast, using seawater for cooling..."
"In addition, the transmission of the power grid must also be considered, and it cannot be too far from Beijing."
"Then there are geographical location, population density, and so on."
"The initial plan is to look for a location around the Bohai Sea, but the specifics haven't been decided yet!"
Yang Xiaotao's heart skipped a beat. "May I suggest a place?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Qian immediately laughed and said, "Sure, why not?"
“We are the workers, you are the employer, you have the final say.”
Yang Xiaotao waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just a suggestion, a suggestion, nothing more."
"You said."
What do you think of Dengzhou?
……
After Yang Xiaotao and Qian Lao left, Chen Lao sat in a chair leisurely drinking Da Hong Pao tea, a smile appearing on his face from time to time.
Recalling the scene of his conversation with his superiors yesterday, he inexplicably uttered a word.
blueprint.
During the presentation, I used this word to convince most people.
This isn't the first time this blueprint has appeared.
Before the nine ministries were established, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences provided a blueprint.
It is the corn that covers the land, a blueprint for a bountiful harvest.
It is also a strong backing for the construction of revolutionary industries!
Back then, perhaps influenced by the league's big brother, people thought corn was the future, so the blueprint was somewhat exaggerated.
However, high-yield corn did solve the problem of food and clothing in most areas.
Furthermore, spurred by the high-yield corn, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Eighth Ministry of Machinery Industry joined forces to not only encourage and support research on other high-yield crops but also vigorously develop agricultural machinery. Today, high-yield rice and high-yield wheat are constantly emerging, gradually enriching farmers' diets.
The use of machinery such as tractors, tricycles, and threshers has also increased productivity.
In this respect, it can be considered a blueprint.
However, behind this blueprint, there was also a blueprint for the Red Star Machinery Factory.
When the Ministry of Machine Building proposed this blueprint, many people were waiting to see it fail.
What now?
This blueprint is gradually expanding, with new things being added continuously.
Now, this blueprint has a much larger scope.
if…
Old Chen silently dreamed, "What if all of this really came true?"
"That was definitely not a golden decade!"
Old Chen suddenly laughed again, feeling that he could still work for another ten years.
At the very least, we must provide support and protection to ensure the smooth realization of the nine departments' blueprint.
Thinking of this, Old Chen put down his teacup, then got up and walked outside.
Last time, when Qing Lao advised him to take care of his health, he didn't think much of it, but now...
He needs to move around and not let his physical condition hold him back!
……
Two days later, in the small conference room of Department Nine.
"Comrade Chang Mingjie, this is your task. Is there a problem?"
Yang Xiaotao sat in the chair, while Chang Mingjie looked at the documents in his hand. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still overwhelmed with emotion, and his excited voice trembled slightly.
"Minister Yang, no problem!"
Chang Mingjie calmed himself down and said loudly.
"Okay, you'll need to coordinate the staffing and assisting departments yourselves."
"Although the time has been set, you will decide on the specific schedule yourselves. Once it's decided, headquarters will conduct regular inspections. You will be held responsible if you fail to complete the task!"
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Chang Mingjie's expression turned serious, but he still nodded, "Don't worry, Director Yang, we will definitely consider it carefully!"
"Okay, are there any other questions?"
"Gone!"
"Okay, let's get moving!"
Chang Mingjie nodded, then left with the documents that Yang Xiaotao had reviewed.
From that moment on, he was the head of the machine tool project team.
A person in charge who bears both honor and pressure.
"Xiaoxue, call Director Han here!"
Yang Xiaotao picked up his water glass, took a sip, and then called out to Liu Lixue, who was waiting quietly to the side.
"Yes, Commander Yang!"
Liu Lixue immediately went out, then glanced at the crowd in the corridor. At that moment, Chang Mingjie was being questioned by the crowd, and cheers could be heard from time to time.
Everyone has been waiting so long these past two days.
It is said that the higher-ups have already approved it, but they have been waiting for Yang's summons for a long time.
These past two days, it's not that no one has been wandering around the office building, but there's just been no news.
I used to be able to hear some gossip from office staff, but now no matter what I say, everyone I meet keeps quiet.
It's like being silenced.
Even Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue, who are usually very inquisitive, remained silent this time.
Unbeknownst to them, after Yang Xiaotao went to the security department, he called the two of them into his office upon his return.
It's unclear what they said, but both women looked rather pale when they left.
Liu Lixue, in particular, had red eyes, as if she had been bullied by someone.
After that, people in the office noticed that the two people who used to visit each other often seemed to have become much more settled.
"Dean Han, Director Yang wants to see you!"
Liu Lixue came to Han Sanfeng's side and spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, the latter immediately straightened his clothes, and Wang Kun, Liu Yongqiang, and the others beside him perked up, knowing that it was their turn!
Han Sanfeng followed Liu Lixue into the conference room.
"Minister Yang!"
Han Sanfeng spoke, and Yang Xiaotao gestured for her to sit down.
"Old Han, you'd better be prepared to take on a major responsibility this time!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and handed the documents in his hand to Han Sanfeng.
Han Sanfeng looked excited, and then carefully began to look through the documents.
This was all part of Yang Xiaotao's arrangements for the computer research project.
Their research institute has been working on small computers, and has made considerable progress in this area.
I wouldn't dare say it will be less, but we'll definitely be able to produce a prototype in less than three years.
Now that the Ninth Department has increased its investment and ensured the supply of raw materials, it is not impossible to complete the production within a year.
As Han Sanfeng flipped through the next project, she frowned again.
That's right, their computer research institute consists of two projects.
Of course, it can also be seen as one, because the first one was an earlier project, but they never completed it, so it can be said to be a legacy issue.
But he had never heard of the second project.
What are 4-bit and 8-bit microcontrollers for?
And this size is too small; it's even smaller than the minicomputer they're planning to research.
Is this really possible?
Han Sanfeng had some doubts, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
After all, this was the future plan designated by Yang Xiaotao, and it was an important strategy of the Ninth Department.
"So, if you're having any difficulties, be sure to tell me!"
Yang Xiaotao took out two cigarettes from the cigarette box in front of him and then handed one to Han Sanfeng.
The two lit up, and Han Sanfeng nodded slightly, "Minister Yang, we have no problem with this research on the minicomputer, and we can guarantee that we will definitely complete it."
"But we're a little unsure about this microcontroller!"
Yang Xiaotao had anticipated Han Sanfeng's doubts, so he nodded and said, "This microcontroller is for a pager project that I'm leading myself."
Han Sanfeng was taken aback, and Yang Xiaotao gave a brief explanation before adding, "I have some materials on how to use microcontrollers. You can take them back and study them. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
Yang Xiaotao handed the prepared materials to Han Sanfeng.
This is what he has been preparing for the past two days.
Han Sanfeng took the document without putting it back and immediately started flipping through it on the table. After looking at it roughly, she immediately looked up and asked, "Minister Yang, who designed this?"
"If this design approach succeeds, it could prove the possibility of miniaturizing processors!"
"It can definitely be used on a computer."
"Minister Yang..."
Han Sanfeng was about to say something more, but Yang Xiaotao raised his hand and waved it gently, then said in a normal tone, "This is something I researched on my own when I had nothing to do."
"you?"
Han Sanfeng stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
He believed it when people said Yang Xiaotao was an expert in mechanics and machine tools, and that he could make airplanes and engines.
After all, those are all related to machinery.
To say that he is an expert in computer research would be quite unbelievable.
But the documents he had in his hand clearly told him that this was done by Yang Xiaotao.
Han Sanfeng was severely affected by the incident.
He has been immersed in computer research for almost twenty years.
Even now, he doesn't dare say he can make this thing.
How long has Yang Xiaotao been researching this?
At that moment, he completely believed that statement.
The differences between people can be greater than the differences between people and pigs.
After Han Sanfeng left the office, Liu Lixue looked at Yang Xiaotao with admiration. The more she learned about the projects of the Ninth Department, the more she respected Yang Xiaotao.
Because these projects were all designated by Yang Xiaotao alone, and he didn't just make them randomly; they were all based on scientific evidence and were feasible.
This man, who wasn't much older than her, always had a kind of magic that fascinated and convinced people.
"What are you doing standing still?"
Yang Xiaotao's voice suddenly rang out, and Liu Lixue immediately blushed and walked outside.
Yang Xiaotao touched his stubble, then chuckled narcissistically, "Could it be that growing a beard really increases one's charm?"
Soon, Wu Zhe walked excitedly into the meeting room…
