Chapter 1246
Mushroom Hot Pot, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu Poisoned, Cotton Spinning Machine Repli
The courtyard at dusk.
The workers, exhausted from a long day, chatted idly.
Children, just released from school, played freely in the courtyard, and the air was filled with a sense of tranquility.
Li Aiguo rode his mountain bike, greeting the residents as he walked towards the backyard.
I had just arrived at Liu Haizhong's house.
Then you see Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and Banggeng, their buttocks sticking out, lined up and lying by the wall.
Liu Haizhong raised the thorny branch high, shouting, "You never learn!"
Now, Liu Haizhong has changed his bad habit of hitting his children with a leather belt with a copper buckle.
Liu Haizhong claimed he was worried about hurting the child.
Auntie Er secretly told everyone that the brass buckle belt was broken, and those things were really expensive.
"Hey, Second Uncle, you're fighting right now?"
Li Aiguo greeted Liu Haizhong.
"Yes, Aiguo, you just got back? You have guests at your house."
"Alright, I'll go back to my room and check first. You can continue disciplining them. I won't delay your work."
Ignoring the three men's sullen looks, Li Aiguo rode his mountain bike home.
really.
Before even entering the house, I heard a sound.
"Xue Ru, we really have to thank your Aiguo these days. If it weren't for him, I don't know how my husband's brother-in-law's situation would have ended. This is nothing, please accept it, it's just a small token of our appreciation."
"That won't do, that's not appropriate! If Aiguo comes back and finds out I accepted your gifts, he'll definitely blame me and say I don't know the rules."
Li Aiguo pushed open the door and entered the house, where he saw Liu Qingquan's wife carrying a cloth bag and trying to stuff it into Chen Xueru's hands.
Chen Xueru gripped the bag tightly, refusing to close it, and the two were pushing each other.
Upon seeing Li Aiguo return, Liu Qingquan said with a smile, "Aiguo, I'm so glad you're back!"
My brother-in-law is back safe and sound, and he didn't suffer any injustice. The Fengtai Locomotive Depot even sent a leader to his home to express their condolences, showing them great respect.
Li Aiguo hadn't expected the Fengtai Locomotive Depot to act so quickly.
He said, "This isn't Zhang Tuo's responsibility. It will be investigated sooner or later. It has nothing to do with me."
"I've heard that Bai Sheng from the driver's group is very meticulous. If it weren't for you, my brother-in-law might really be in jail."
"The other day I was helping out as a truck driver, I went to Yunnan and brought back some local produce, it wasn't worth much."
Although the case was minor, it caused quite a stir because it involved framing and made the security investigation team look foolish. Liu Qingquan had already found out all about it.
Seeing this, Li Aiguo didn't say much and told Chen Xueru to accept the mountain goods.
"Qingquan, have dinner at home tonight. I'll have Xueru cook some good dishes."
"No, no, our 131 driver group still has to make a freight trip later, I have to go back quickly."
Li Aiguo knew that the freight line at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot was very busy, so he didn't keep him and saw Liu Qingquan and his wife out of the yard.
Back home, Chen Xueru took all the mountain produce out of the bag.
It wasn't what Li Aiguo had expected.
Inside were shiitake mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, milkweed mushrooms, tiger paw mushrooms, yellow roe mushrooms, coral mushrooms, and a large bag of termite mushrooms.
"Master Liu, this gift is too valuable." Chen Xueru was also taken aback.
Although this type of mushroom is not as expensive as it is in later years, it can still fetch a good price in these days, mainly because it is difficult to buy.
"Take it, I'll find a way to make it up to you later." Li Aiguo saw that there were dried mushrooms as well as fresh ones.
We put away the dried mushrooms, left some of the fresh ones out to dry, and used the rest to make mushroom hot pot that evening.
Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've had a proper meal.
Li Aiguo discussed it with Chen Xueru and asked her to invite He Yushui and Aunt Liu to come and eat together, as it would be more lively with more people.
The room was filled with the constant laughter of adults and children.
Actually, this mushroom hot pot is simple to make and doesn't require much skill.
Nan Yi specially arranged for a hot pot base. A finely crafted pot was placed on the stove, boiling water was poured in, the pot base was put in, and then a few slices of ginger, a few pieces of scallion, and a few cloves of garlic were thrown in.
Finally, all the cleaned mushrooms were poured into the pot at once.
Before long, the pot was bubbling and boiling, and an enticing aroma immediately filled the entire room.
He Yushui, who was already greedy, couldn't wait any longer. She picked up her chopsticks and was about to lift the pot lid when Li Aiguo stopped her.
"Why are you in such a hurry? These are all wild mushrooms. They need to be cooked for a while longer to thoroughly cook out any harmful substances before we can eat them."
“Okay.” He Yushui rested her chin on her hands, her eyes fixed on the stainless steel pot.
The aroma of these mushrooms was so strong that it soon wafted out of the house and filled most of the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai was sitting at the door of his house, eating cornbread with pickled vegetables, and he was enjoying his meal quite a bit.
But as soon as I smelled the aroma of the mushrooms, the cornbread in my hand suddenly lost its appeal.
"Li Aiguo was served a good meal as soon as he returned!"
"Stop muttering nonsense here. I heard that Aiguo helped investigate a case and saved a coworker's life."
These mushrooms were a thank-you gift from one of the workers; it's only right that they enjoy something nice.
An older woman, who was very well-informed, came in from outside and said this.
She paused, looked at Yi Zhonghai, and said, "Old Yi, I have something important to tell you. You need to find a way to resolve Jia Zhangshi's matter as soon as possible. If this drags on, we won't be able to live like this anymore!"
When this matter was brought up, Yi Zhonghai was filled with anger.
He introduced several potential partners to Jia Zhangshi, but she refused them all, and even used the excuse that she was now destitute and needed Yi Zhonghai to help her.
Previously, when Jia Zhangshi lived in the compound, Yi Zhonghai had to help her. Now that Jia Zhangshi has left, he still has to help her.
Didn't Jia Zhangshi get rid of him for nothing?
Yi Zhonghai naturally disagreed, and as a result, Jia Zhangshi started throwing a tantrum, threatening to cause trouble at the steel rolling mill and the neighborhood committee.
Yi Zhonghai has been keeping a low profile lately.
There was no other way but to promise to give Jia Zhangshi some money every few days to appease her.
"How about we let Jia Zhangshi go back to the Jia family?"
Look at Qin Huairu, raising three children all by herself, it's so difficult, she has to go to work and take care of the children at the same time.
If Jia Zhangshi goes back, she can lend a hand and lighten Qin Huairu's burden a bit.
The older woman was soft-hearted and felt particularly sorry for Jia Zhangshi.
"No, no, absolutely not. Jia Zhangshi is the kind of person who can make even manure regret its actions. She absolutely cannot come back. Let me think about it some more."
Yi Zhonghai had another thing he didn't dare say aloud.
He planned to have Qin Huairu take care of him in his old age and see him off when he died.
If Jia Zhangshi were to return, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause and disrupt his plans? He couldn't take that risk.
under night.
The courtyard gradually became lively.
Everyone could smell the fragrance emanating from Li Aiguo.
There's only envy, not jealousy. After all, this was earned by saving lives. If you're so capable, why don't you save someone yourself?
"I've heard that the mushrooms in Yunnan are especially delicious."
"Absolutely, you can tell just by the smell."
"I heard that those mushrooms don't need to be cooked in the pot; they're delicious even just stir-fried."
Banggeng had finished eating at home and was squatting nearby playing when he heard this, and immediately perked up.
Mushrooms, those are good stuff!
He personally witnessed Li Aiguo drying some mushrooms outside.
Well, the bangs have become a little more obedient now, thanks to the discipline they receive from the bangs, but not by much.
I no longer dare to rummage through other people's homes, but I've never stopped taking advantage of my neighbors by picking up small pieces of green onion or garlic.
They all live in the same courtyard and see each other all the time. The residents are unhappy, but they are too embarrassed to say anything, so they can only turn a blind eye.
Having stumbled upon such a great opportunity today, Banggeng was not about to let it slip by.
Seeing that no one was around, Banggeng quietly ran to the Li family's door.
There were many mushrooms hanging on the rope; if you took just a little bit, no one would know.
Banggeng peeked through the crack in the window and saw Li Aiguo drinking and chatting animatedly with Nan Yi.
He immediately rushed over, grabbed a handful of mushrooms, stuffed them haphazardly into his pocket, and ran off in a flash.
Just as I stepped out of the crescent-shaped gate, someone grabbed my arm. "Hey, what good stuff are you hiding? Share some with us!"
It was those two brothers from the Liu family who got beaten up, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.
The two had been eyeing the mushrooms for a while, but didn't have the guts to take them. Seeing the mushrooms lurking around suspiciously, they stopped them.
There was nothing else he could do but take a handful of mushrooms out of his pocket.
"Here, that's all. Let's find some water to boil it. I heard it's delicious."
"I heard it tastes good raw too." Liu Guangtian took the mushroom, popped it into his mouth, and found the taste a bit strange, but it was definitely fresh.
Seeing that Liu Guangtian had eaten, Banggeng and Liu Guangfu also got anxious and immediately divided the rest in two, each grabbing a handful and stuffing them into their mouths.
"It tastes really good, it's a pity we can't find this in Beijing."
"Guangtian, Guangfu, you ate my mushrooms. Next time your father beats you, you'll have to take a few more hits for me!"
"I know, I know, I've helped you every time."
After saying only a few words, the third boy suddenly stared blankly, a strange, silly smile appearing on his face.
"Hey, where did all these little people come from? Hehe, they're even dancing."
"I feel like I've grown wings and become a little bird."
"Hehehe, I'm about to fly!"
The three of them stood there, gesturing at the air and laughing foolishly.
Yi Zhonghai came out for a walk after finishing his meal and bumped into this scene. His brows immediately furrowed, and he scolded in a deep voice, "What are you three boys doing making a ruckus here?"
The three of them turned their heads in unison, their eyes fixed on each other with an indescribable strangeness that made Yi Zhonghai's neck tingle.
"It's Yi Zhonghai, I'm your father."
"I am your grandfather."
“I am your great-grandfather.”
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red.
It was bad enough that Li Aiguo bullied him, but these bastards dared to bully him too.
"Old Liu, how do you discipline your kids? Come over here right now!"
Liu Haizhong was sipping his wine inside when he heard the commotion and immediately ran out. When he saw the three boys' appearance, his heart skipped a beat, and he realized something was wrong.
"What's going on with the three of you?"
"It's Liu Haizhong, I'm your father."
"I am your grandfather."
“I am your great-grandfather.”
"You've gone too far!" Liu Haizhong roared in anger, grabbing a stick from the base of the wall and preparing to strike.
The second aunt reacted quickly and grabbed him. "Don't hit them! Look at those three, something's definitely not right."
Liu Haizhong put away the stick and looked at the three people under the dim light. They were indeed acting strangely, with silly smiles on their faces and the stick-shaped handle even raising its arm as if it were about to fly into the air.
"Could it be that he's possessed by an evil spirit?" a resident whispered as he approached.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There's no such thing as being possessed by evil spirits. We're liberated now, there's no more of that nonsense." Liu Haizhong scolded the resident, who dared not utter a sound. However, the situation of these three people was even more serious, and they actually started to take off their clothes.
"Invite Aiguo here; he's very knowledgeable and experienced."
Liu Haizhong asked his second aunt to invite Li Aiguo.
Li Aiguo had just finished eating and was about to go into his study to work on modifying a small fire-fighting aircraft when he learned that Banggeng and the other two had an accident. He then followed his second aunt to the Intermediate People's Court.
"Aiguo, come and see! What happened to these three children?" Liu Haizhong was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands.
Li Aiguo stepped forward, took out a flashlight from his pocket, pried open the stick's eyelids to shine the light on it, and frowned: "It's probably been poisoned."
"Poisoning? Impossible! We haven't put any rat poison in our compound lately." Yi Zhonghai was anxious; he still held the title of "Grandpa Yi."
Li Aiguo glanced at the rope drying in front of his house and noticed that there were clearly fewer bunches of mushrooms drying there. He immediately understood what was going on.
He looked at the third boy.
"Banggeng, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, did you eat the mushrooms I dried?"
The three of them remained silly, just laughing at the air, unable to answer a single question.
"It's probably mushroom poisoning; she's hallucinating. We need to get her to the hospital right away," Li Aiguo said. Hearing this, Qin Huairu panicked, and the residents helped take Banggeng, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangfu to the hospital.
"Wait a minute, Huai Ru, don't rush." Liu Haizhong turned to look at Li Aiguo and asked, "Aiguo, are they suffering from mushroom poisoning and hallucinating? Is that right? Once the hallucinations are gone, they'll be fine."
"They ate relatively few mushrooms, that should be it." Li Aiguo looked at the rope; it seemed only a few strands were missing.
"Please move aside."
Liu Haizhong rolled up his sleeves, and everyone, not knowing what was going on, took two steps back.
Li Aiguo was also curious about how Liu Haizhong planned to treat the hallucinations.
Liu Haizhong strode forward, grabbed Liu Guangtian by the collar, and slapped him hard with his large palm.
"Snapped!"
"I am your father!" Liu Guangtian mumbled, still half asleep.
"Snapped!"
"father!"
"Snapped!"
"Dad, stop hitting him!" Liu Guangtian's eyes had cleared, and he was now so frightened that his face turned pale.
"Crack! Crack!"
Liu Haizhong seemed not to hear him, and swung his big purse twice more before letting go of Liu Guangtian.
He strode toward the stick.
"Second Uncle, I'm alright now." Banggeng had regained consciousness and immediately raised his hand.
"Are you alright? You've been poisoned!" Liu Haizhong acted as if he hadn't heard, raised his hand and slapped Bang Geng three more times, making Bang Geng cover his face and cry.
The residents in the compound were stunned. Could a disease be treated like this?
Li Aiguo stroked his chin and said, "You know what, Liu Haizhong's method does have some scientific merit."
Intense pain can instantly stimulate somatic sensory nerves, rapidly activating the arousal center of the cerebral cortex. The impact of a slap on the cheek can also vibrate the vagus nerve in the throat, stimulating the cough reflex.
Okay, Li Aiguo can't keep making this up anymore.
The reason these three people were able to stay conscious was largely because they had consumed relatively few mushrooms.
If you get mushroom poisoning, you'll still have to go to the hospital.
Yi Zhonghai, standing to the side, had a gloomy face, but secretly felt sorry for him.
If Jia Zhangshi were here, this would be a perfect opportunity to extort Li Aiguo.
Night deepened.
After Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and Liu Guangcheng, the three brothers who had been beaten, regained their senses and were pulled back into the house by Liu Haizhong, it seemed they were about to receive a second round of slaps.
After enjoying a delicious melon, Li Aiguo strolled home, washed his feet, and went into his study to get busy.
The staff of the Safety Section of the Beijing Railway Bureau will not be attending the training until next week, so they are not in a hurry to prepare the training content.
The current focus is on modifying the small fire-fighting aircraft.
Due to cost considerations, small aircraft are particularly suitable for aerial patrols in mountainous and forested areas. If a fire is detected, the aircraft can promptly notify the militia of the surrounding communes to carry out firefighting operations.
In terms of configuration, Li Aiguo plans to install a liquid fire extinguishing agent delivery system, using gravity delivery combined with mechanical valve control.
If a fire breaks out, it can be extinguished immediately.
The so-called liquid fire extinguishing agent is just river water.
After working all night, the design drawings for the modified fire-fighting aircraft are almost complete.
Early the next morning, Li Aiguo arrived at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot workshop.
Zong Xianfeng has returned with the prototype of the 32-spindle cotton spinning machine, and plans to make some modifications based on the opinions of the cotton spinning workers and technicians.
Seeing that Zong Xianfeng and the wild car expert could handle it, Li Aiguo went to the small aircraft workshop.
Chief Engineer Liu from the small aircraft workshop was already waiting.
"Patriotism, is this the fire-fighting mini-plane you came up with?" Chief Engineer Liu looked at the blueprints, his eyes instantly turning serious.
The added equipment looks very simple, but it is very practical, especially in terms of its design, which takes convenience into account.
Take the plate gate valve installed at the inlet as an example. The manufacturing technology is very mature in China. It is a general mechanical valve with a simple structure and good sealing.
The simulated control handles in the cockpit are purely mechanical, with three positions: open, closed, and half-open. Pilots can operate them blindly during flight to avoid affecting piloting.
"Engineer Liu, take a look and see if there's anything else that can be optimized?" Li Aiguo asked.
"I think it's already quite perfect. To be honest, I was a little worried about modifying small planes, but now it seems that my worries were unnecessary."
Chief Engineer Liu felt that staying here was the right choice.
Compared to fighter jets, small aircraft are indeed less technologically advanced, but they have the advantage of low cost and can be quickly mass-produced and put into practical use.
"Let's build a prototype first and test it."
"I'll make the arrangements right now."
While Li Aiguo was busy building fire-fighting miniature airplanes.
Deputy Director Zhou of Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill arrived at the Ministry of Textile Industry with the blueprints for a 32-spindle cotton spinning machine.
"Old Zhou is here, please have a seat. Right now, all the major cotton mills across the country have submitted their technological innovation plans. Your Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill is the industry leader, so you must set a good example."
When Zhao, the leader in charge of the technological innovation evaluation at the Ministry of Textile Industry, saw Deputy Factory Director Zhou, he quickly invited him to sit down.
"Leader Zhao, I'm here today specifically to report on this matter," said Deputy Factory Director Zhou, spreading a stack of blueprints on the table.
"This is a 32-spindle cotton spinning machine that our factory's technical department improved. Take a look."
"A 32-spindle cotton spinning machine?" Leader Zhao looked surprised.
You should know that a large portion of the cotton spinning machines in China are 16-spindle machines purchased from Russia. How did they manage to develop 32-spindle machines?
His gaze fell on the blueprints, and his eyes narrowed instantly.
"This is a cotton spinning machine that was built using the workshop of the Qianmen Locomotive Depot and has undergone secondary modifications?"
"That's right, we also contributed to this cotton spinning machine." Deputy Factory Director Zhou explained the situation, and then added, "The improved 32-spindle cotton spinning machine is three times faster than the original one, and the spinning density has also doubled. This is a major technological innovation."
"Really? Well then, I'll take some people to your factory to take a look and see what the textile machines are like." After a moment's thought, Leader Zhao said.
"I'll arrange it right away." Deputy Factory Director Zhou was overjoyed. If he could pass the review, his ranking on the factory committee would also improve.
Just as Deputy Factory Director Zhou was about to leave, Leader Zhao suddenly called out to him: "Since the prototype was developed by the Qianmen Locomotive Depot workshop, you should give them a heads-up beforehand and invite them over, understand?"
"understand."
Just as Li Aiguo returned to his office from the small aircraft workshop, the phone on his desk rang. It was Deputy Director Zhou from Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill calling.
"What kind of textile machine?"
"Our technical department has installed a new 32-spindle textile machine, and we would like to invite you to come and take a look."
Li Aiguo was stunned when he heard the news.
After hanging up the phone, he called Zong Xianfeng into his office.
"The technical department of Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill has assembled a new cotton spinning machine?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I know those technicians. They don't have that kind of skill, unless..." Zong Xianfeng seemed to realize something halfway through his sentence, and his expression changed.
“When we were testing in the workshop, Deputy Section Chief Ma from the Technical Department of Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill was very enthusiastic and even offered to look at the blueprints and help us improve them. I... I didn’t pay any attention to it. He must have taken the opportunity to copy one.”
Li Aiguo did not intend to blame Zong Xianfeng.
That's how it is these days; there's no such thing as patents for civilian technology, and technicians have even less awareness of confidentiality.
otherwise.
When spring arrives, those foreign guys won't be able to take away large amounts of technology at low prices and then register patents abroad.
Not to mention that the Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill and the Qianmen Locomotive Depot were partners.
Li Aiguo originally had no intention of keeping the 32-spindle cotton spinning machine.
To secretly copy something without informing the other party is simply outrageous.
"I want to go and see what kind of changes the No. 1 Cotton Mill in Beijing has made to this cotton spinning machine."
In the textile workshop of Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill, the workshop was cleaned spotlessly in preparation for the inspection by the Ministry of Cotton Industry's Technical Innovation Team, and a large red banner was hung up.
Squad Leader Hua and the textile workers were also made to stand aside, and everyone looked very grim.
Others may not know the ins and outs of this cotton spinning machine, but they know it inside and out.
Previously, Squad Leader Hua had raised concerns with Deputy Section Chief Ma, saying that this was inappropriate, but he was instead severely reprimanded by Deputy Section Chief Ma.
Squad Leader Hua had also offered his opinion to Deputy Section Chief Ma, but was reprimanded instead.
Factory Director Liu's expression also turned somewhat grim.
He was against modifying other people's cotton spinning machines, but unexpectedly, Deputy Section Chief Ma actually got approval from Deputy Factory Director Zhou.
This cotton spinning machine is much prettier than the one Li Aiguo made. The outer shell is painted dark green, and the 32 spindles are all shiny. The machine body is in the middle, and the electric motor is below.
“We made improvements to the old-fashioned 32-spindle cotton spinning machine by increasing the diameter of the cast iron wheels and increasing the spindle speed.”
When Li Aiguo brought Zong Xianfeng to the workshop, Deputy Section Chief Ma was introducing cotton spinning machines to the leaders of the Ministry of Cotton Textile Industry.
When Leader Zhao saw Li Aiguo, he told Deputy Section Chief Ma to stop and quickly walked over.
"Comrade Aiguo, thank you so much for developing the 32-spindle cotton spinning machine. If the technology of this machine is mature, it will greatly promote the development of our cotton spinning industry."
Deputy Section Chief Ma and Deputy Factory Director Zhou were completely blinded by the hype, but Leader Zhao knew very well that if it weren't for the prototype developed by the Qianmen Locomotive Depot's workshop, what would they have been able to improve upon?!
Li Aiguo smiled and said, "You're too kind, leader. It was just something I came up with on the spot. But I heard that the Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill has made quite a few improvements to this machine?"
"That's right, Section Chief Ma is introducing it right now, let's go over and listen."
Leader Zhao pulled Li Aiguo to the cotton spinning machine and gestured with his chin towards Deputy Section Chief Ma.
"Go on."
Deputy Section Chief Ma was somewhat unconvinced. If he had the equipment from the Qianmen Locomotive Depot's workshop, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to tinker with a 32-spindle cotton spinning machine.
However, he didn't dare to say much now, and continued to explain: "To prevent the belt from slipping, we tighten the tensioner to the maximum, so that the V-belt is tightly stretched on the pulley. In this way, the spindle's rotation speed will increase three times, thereby increasing production."
That concludes the introduction.
Deputy Section Chief Ma even gestured with his chin towards Li Aiguo.
Li Aiguo sighed inwardly. Over the years, he had seen too many self-righteous people like Deputy Section Chief Ma, who always thought they could make better things by simply changing other people's designs.
But they never consider why the original design adopted a relatively conservative approach.
They're so good at calculating. If the spindle speed is higher, the spinning speed is faster, and the output is higher. Does that mean they can launch satellites?
The diameter of the cast iron wheel is matched with the pulley, and they usually have a fixed rotation speed. If you want to increase the speed, you need to refit it.
Upon closer inspection, Li Aiguo realized that this thing was simply an enlarged cast iron wheel, a smaller main shaft wheel, and a shorter pulley, all forcibly assembled together.
It's pure brute force.
"Comrade Patriot, what do you think of these improvements?" Leader Zhao looked at the cotton spinning machine in front of him and was quite satisfied.
In any case, the engine speed has indeed been increased.
Li Aiguo was somewhat at a loss for words, asking if this kind of improvement was unsafe?
"Practice makes perfect, so let's start it up and see how it goes."
Upon hearing this, Deputy Section Chief Ma immediately patted his chest and said, "We've tested it several times already, and there's absolutely no problem."
His only goal now is to pass the review as soon as possible and get the honor he deserves.
"Then why did you invite me here?" Li Aiguo didn't give them a friendly look when he heard this, and immediately put on a stern face.
Not to mention the technical department, the entire Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill owes Li Aiguo a favor.
You think you're so capable, a mere technical section chief?!
Deputy Section Chief Ma was also getting angry. He retorted, "We've tested it many times, and the rotation speed has indeed tripled, resulting in a real increase in output!"
"Ahem, Deputy Section Chief Ma." Deputy Factory Director Zhou felt uneasy and glared at Deputy Section Chief Ma before trying to smooth things over.
"Since the ministerial leaders are here to review today, let's try again and let the patriotic comrades and leaders see for themselves. That will be more convincing."
"Okay! I'll do it myself!"
Deputy Section Chief Ma led the technical staff to conduct the experiment in front of him, while Li Aiguo stood aside watching, speechless for a moment.
To increase the rotation speed, the motor power was increased, but the counterweight was not increased, and the spindle locking structure on top remained the same.
Each component has its limitations. Although the motor used by Li Aiguo has a relatively small power, it has been calculated by computer to be a perfect match for the other parts of the cotton spinning machine.
Whether it's a spindle, drive shaft, pulley, or cast iron ring, its lifespan will be reduced under overspeed operation.
Buzzing.
As Deputy Section Chief Ma turned on the switch, the spindle's rotation speed increased, and the machine body began to sway slightly.
"Look at this speed, this efficiency!" Deputy Section Chief Ma said, turning to Zhao, the leader, while operating the equipment.
It was also the first time that Leader Zhao had seen a cotton spinning machine with such a high speed. His face was full of joy, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Good! Good! I think it's quite impressive that your technical department at Beijing No. 1 Cotton Mill has achieved such results..."
Before he could finish speaking, the cotton spinning machine suddenly emitted a piercing, strange noise, and the shaking of the machine body intensified, becoming increasingly larger.
Deputy Section Chief Ma was so shocked by this sudden situation that he stood there dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting to react.
"Quick, press the emergency stop button!" Zong Xianfeng shouted, realizing something was about to happen.
But it was too late.
There was a loud bang.
The spindle broke off and flew out in all directions at high speed. Deputy Section Chief Ma was closest to it and was the first to be hit. His palm was pierced through.
It's a terrible sight!
