Chapter 2826 They've got an addiction to tearing things apart!
After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining the current work priorities at the meeting, everyone immediately understood.
After the meeting, Yang Xiaotao asked Lu Tao to show everyone around the work environment. Then he went to the office with Old Song. The two didn't talk about computers anymore, but instead talked about satellites.
"I heard that the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry has already found a location and it will be ready to use soon?"
Old Song took a sip of tea and asked casually.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, understanding that once the satellite launch base was built, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' satellites would also need to be launched from there.
Of course, the Chinese Academy of Sciences receives the funding, while they don't.
"Yes, the infrastructure work is almost complete, and the personnel deployment is basically in place. It should be ready by early next year."
Old Song nodded, then sighed, "When we launched the satellite, we thought about its application in satellite communications, but we didn't expect you to be ahead of the curve."
Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "You did it faster and better than us!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao quickly replied modestly, "We've only just taken the first step; the road ahead is still long."
Old Song smiled, and then inquired about the progress of the nine satellites. Yang Xiaotao gave a brief overview of the situation.
After the two finished talking, it was noon, so the group went to the restaurant for lunch, and Yang Xiaotao saw Old Song off.
The others stayed in the Ninth Division to continue familiarizing themselves with the situation.
In the evening, Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard house.
As soon as I entered the Intermediate People's Court, I heard people talking inside.
I asked Duanwu, who was playing at the entrance, and that's when I found out it was Director Wang from the neighborhood office.
Over the years, due to his outstanding work, he has gained recognition from his superiors and has been promoted from the director of the subdistrict office to the director of the district. Therefore, Director Wang is now much more prestigious than before.
Of course, it also depends on who you're comparing it to.
At home, he's the undisputed leader.
But here...
Yang Xiaotao walked into the house with a smile and saw Director Wang holding Ran Qiuye's hand and talking. He then smiled and said, "Oh my, isn't this Aunt Wang? It's rare for someone as busy as you to come here!"
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's teasing, Director Wang immediately patted Ran Qiuye's hand and said, "Look, even your husband knows how to make fun of me now. You need to keep a closer eye on him."
"A woman's family needs to keep her husband in check, otherwise how can the family stand?"
Ran Qiuye kept chuckling to herself, while Yang Xiaotao, standing to the side, immediately wore a speechless expression, making both of them laugh even harder.
What does this mean?
Is she taking the "wife" route now?
After speaking with Ran Qiuye, Director Wang looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Don't be ungrateful, kid. You've met someone like Qiuye who not only gave you children but also took care of the household perfectly. Without her, would you have the life you have now?"
"Are you able to focus on your work outside?"
"Life's a bit better now, so don't you dare do anything to betray Qiuye!"
Yang Xiaotao immediately lowered his head and hurriedly said, "No, no, am I that kind of person?"
"Besides, you have far too little faith in Qiuye!"
"This wife is both scholarly and capable, equally at home in the living room and the kitchen. I cherish her so much, how could I dare to wrong her!"
"Wife, am I right?"
As he spoke, he winked at Ran Qiuye, but Director Wang immediately snorted coldly, "You smooth talker, all these years, you haven't grown any taller, but you've certainly gotten a lot more cunning."
Ran Qiuye glared at Yang Xiaotao, but felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
This is also Ran Qiuye's home.
"You're really wronging me! If I could grow any bigger, wouldn't I be inhuman...?"
"Forget it, Qiuye is too lenient."
"Yes, yes, yes, we need to keep an eye on it..."
Yang Xiaotao sat to the side making jokes, and Director Wang also spoke casually, but his words were all in support of Ran Qiuye.
Yang Xiaotao didn't think much of it; in fact, he felt more comfortable hearing it than being praised for his competence.
If other men praised their women, they would feel differently.
But if it's a woman, it's even more different!
The two chatted casually, and Ran Qiuye stood up and said, "Aunt Wang, don't leave tonight. I'll go prepare some food and drinks, and we can talk slowly."
Director Wang grabbed her arm, saying, "Don't bother yourself. You're already tired enough taking care of the kids all day. I'll go back after a little while."
Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "My husband is so shy. I asked him to come along, but he insisted on working overtime. He's just too proud to admit it."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "What you're saying? My Uncle Li is truly devoted to the revolution!"
"Besides, we see each other every day, we even have lunch together, why does she have to come to my house!"
Director Wang smiled and then said, "Alright, you men can handle your own affairs. We women have no right to interfere."
"Qiuye and I will take care of the house here, so you won't have to worry about anything."
Yang Xiaotao slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's a good point! I'll go find Uncle Li for lunch tomorrow!"
"Forget it, with his alcohol tolerance, if he drinks too much at noon, he won't be able to work in the afternoon."
Yang Xiaotao laughed heartily, and finally Director Wang got up and walked out, with Ran Qiuye and the other person seeing him off in the courtyard.
After Director Wang left on his bicycle, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye started walking back.
"Something seems off about what Aunt Wang said today."
Ran Qiuye asked with some curiosity, her gaze falling on her own man.
Yang Xiaotao then explained the situation regarding the high-voltage electrical work group, and Ran Qiuye nodded in agreement.
Having lived with Yang Xiaotao for so many years, I know that some things can't be based solely on past relationships.
Human relationships are built on the principle of mutual assistance: you help me out, and I'll give you a ride.
"Moreover, this high-voltage power working group does indeed need our people to participate."
"We also need a trustworthy person to participate."
Yang Xiaotao stood at the door and said in a solemn tone.
In later generations, stealing electricity was not something that could be accomplished by just one or two people.
Ran Qiuye nodded as if she understood, and then the two walked into the courtyard together.
Yang Xiaotao explained briefly to Ran Qiuye, and then headed towards the Intermediate People's Court.
Just as I was passing by the front yard, I saw Uncle Yan Fugui, the third uncle, walking out of the house with a book in his hand.
"Xiao Tao, Teacher Ran!"
Yan Fugui greeted them politely, and the three aunties next to him also peeked out from the kitchen window.
"Teacher Yan!"
"Is Third Uncle looking at the account books or reading a novel?"
Yang Xiaotao was in a good mood, laughing and joking. These past few years, there haven't been so many worries in the yard. Although life has been a bit more mundane, it's truly a good life.
Take the man in front of us, for example. He not only got a job at a primary school in the countryside, but also worked in the neighborhood office. Because of the good work done in promoting spiritual civilization in the courtyard, it was named a model courtyard almost every year. In the past, the rewards he received had to be shared among his three uncles.
It all belongs to him now.
Moreover, with those troublemakers gone and Yang Xiaotao's support, Yan Fugui has gained a status as a senior figure in the compound, and he is now able to handle matters fairly and justly.
Finally, Yan Jiefang interacted more with his family and would occasionally send money back home, which improved the Yan family's life considerably.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Yan Fugui quickly shook his head and laughed, "Look, you're making fun of me again, aren't you?"
"I'm only reading professional books here, like Chinese literature."
Yang Xiaotao took two steps forward to cooperate, and Yan Fugui also held out his hand so that Yang Xiaotao could see clearly. "So this is Chinese, Uncle! You really are a lifelong learner, always making progress."
Yan Fugui immediately raised his head, "Of course, this is in response to the call."
"Alright, then we won't disturb your progress any longer. Let's go home for dinner."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he walked towards the central courtyard. Yan Fugui smiled behind him and waited until the two passed through the hanging flower gate before putting away his smile and walking into the house.
"Hey old man, why didn't you say anything?"
As soon as he entered the house, the three aunties started complaining. Yan Fugui picked up his enamel liquor and chugged down more than half of it.
Then he said, "You think I didn't want to say it? It's just that he didn't give me a chance to speak at all."
"Besides, when you ask someone for a favor, you can't just get it done with empty words."
"Even if you don't prepare any gifts, you should still go to their door in person to express your sincerity."
"This cannot be done."
Yan Fugui sat to the side, looking confident as he spoke.
But the third auntie didn't buy it at all. She might have believed it before, but over the years she had come to realize that her old man's scheming and plotting was less effective than his lack of scheming.
Seeing this, the third aunt slammed the cleaver on the cutting board and said, "Are you at it again, doing your old tricks?"
"Do they really need this little bit of our stuff?"
"Do they need us to make them look good?"
"Look at the little stone in the backyard, and the little flowers in our front yard, who's going to give him gifts anymore?"
"You're just being silly."
Yan Fugui was scolded by the three aunts and immediately felt embarrassed. "Do you think I wanted this? I can't let the second brother suffer because of the third brother's affairs."
"This is no small matter."
The third aunt scoffed, "Forget it, you don't need to worry about the second son."
"What do you know, you woman? Long hair."
Before Yan Fugui could finish speaking, he saw the third aunt standing to the side with her hands on her hips, a slight sneer on her lips.
Upon seeing this, Yan Fugui immediately laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you're right. I'll talk to Xiao Tao about Lao San's matter tomorrow."
"That's pretty much it."
The three women picked up the cleaver and continued chopping vegetables.
Yan Fugui continued to hold his Chinese textbook, looking at it with a serious expression.
Outside the window, Xiao Wei's figure flashed by.
At the Yang family home, Yang Xiaotao, who was cooking, suddenly smiled.
The following day, Yang Xiaotao officially led the team to begin computer research.
The newly established 'Dawn One' research group, located next to the Computer Research Institute, has been put into use after expedited renovations.
At this moment, in the office, Yang Xiaotao and his team are 'studying' a mini-computer they have acquired.
During this time, everyone basically operated the computer and gained some understanding of it, but only a superficial understanding.
As everyone took their seats, Yang Xiaotao leaned back in his chair, then glanced at the twenty people present and casually said, "Let's have a seminar, and each group can share their opinions."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Kun and Liu Yongqiang beside him and said, "You two set an example for the comrades."
Upon hearing this, Wang Kun and his companion became less reserved. The honors they had gained from their successful projects with calculators and game consoles not only brought them great success but also made them staunch supporters of Yang Xiaotao.
"Okay, then let's start with a preliminary idea."
Wang Kun glanced at Liu Yongqiang and then said, "The research project that Lao Liu and I are undertaking is the research and development of memory."
"Regarding this, we consulted some materials at the library and also looked up some foreign newspapers to learn about the development process of memory."
"Then, regarding this computer, after research, we determined that it was a magnetic core memory."
"To put it simply, it's a way of magnetizing by using an electric current, which is very common in today's transistor-based computers."
"Our computer research institute also uses this technology, but it's not mature yet and lacks storage capacity."
Wang Kun gave a brief introduction to the current situation, and everyone around him carefully took notes in their notebooks. Even though their research projects were unrelated to this, their good study habits still compelled them to record every bit of knowledge.
Under the guidance of the group from the Ninth Department, people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences also began to record key information.
After Wang Kun finished explaining the situation, Liu Yongqiang, who was standing next to him, started talking about his research direction.
"As we all know, we now have mature high-purity silicon extraction technology, and semiconductors are also constantly advancing."
"Therefore, based on the suggestion given by Director Yang, our future research direction will be memory devices, primarily based on semiconductors."
After Liu Yongqiang finished speaking, everyone immediately applauded enthusiastically, which also put pressure on the others.
They really put in the effort to do research.
Seeing this, several people who hadn't been prepared became a little uneasy.
Just like when a teacher checks homework in class, the student is afraid of being called on to answer a question.
After Yang Xiaotao and the other two finished speaking, they did not continue to call out names.
Because he knew that with such a short time, someone would definitely not do a good job.
The reason he immediately chose Wang Kun and his group was because he had contacted them beforehand and discussed the matter.
"Now that everyone is prepared, let's get started."
"At that time, we will learn and improve through practice."
With that, Yang Xiaotao got up and walked out.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately followed.
The group arrived at the nearby laboratory, which was a separately designated experimental area.
There are many similar experimental zones throughout the research institute.
Two guards stood at the entrance, their expressions serious.
Upon arriving at the laboratory, Yang Xiaotao went to the prepared mini computer, next to which was a pile of tools.
"Deputy Team Leader Lu, let's begin."
Yang Xiaotao put on his gloves and said to Lu Tao, who was standing next to him.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao picked up the folder and said with a serious expression, "Director Yang, we can start disassembling it."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, and everyone else listened attentively.
"Disconnect the power first to ensure safety."
"I want to take the outer casing apart."
"This should be the magnetic core storage device that Wang Kun mentioned. Place it carefully on the ground."
As Yang Xiaotao used his strong hands-on skills to disassemble the mini-computer bit by bit, each component was carefully put back into place.
If you know what someone does, just call them by their name.
If you forget something or don't know it, just give it a code name.
As Yang Xiaotao continued to disassemble it, by the time it was almost time to leave work, the mini-machine in front of him had been almost completely disassembled to its original state.
Those around were almost dumbfounded. Could it be put back together after being disassembled like this?
They didn't dare to say much, only a few words to the most important person in their lives after getting off work and going home.
After Liu Qijian finished speaking with Old Song, Old Song's exasperated voice could be faintly heard on the phone: "This guy's gotten addicted to tearing things down!"
