Chapter 23: Everyone is looking forward to it, and enthusiasm is high
Deputy Section Chief Zhao and Gao Zhendong walked out of General Manager Chen's office and walked into the corridor. Deputy Section Chief Zhao seemed a little excited: "Zhendong, I really took a ride with you this time. I won't say much to thank you. I just want to say that if there is anything in the section in the future, I will do it without hesitation."

Gao Zhendong also knew that this was half true and half false. For example, if Gao Zhendong had seven or eight years more seniority and held a position that was not considered a job title, such as section chief, Deputy Section Chief Zhao might have to be on guard against him.

But now that people can say this, at least they won’t cause any trouble in general matters.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said politely to Deputy Section Chief Zhao: "Section Chief, you are too polite. I am really shameless to ask you if I have anything to ask."

When we got back to the office, Xiao Yu had already gone back to his office. Fang Jie, Xiao Liu, and Liang Gong, who had moved to this office for the convenience of work, all came over and asked, "How is it going? What did Mr. Chen say about that project?"

Gao Zhendong directly launched a big satellite at them: "When we went there, Director Yang happened to be there. After listening to us, Director Yang praised the project team to the utmost. In the end, he said that the factory would give rewards."

Although Xiao Liu has been in the factory for two years, he obviously hasn't figured out the technical aspects yet, so he asked in a more mundane way: "Reward money? Industrial tickets? Meat tickets?"

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "I don't know about that. We'll discuss and decide at the factory meeting."

Lao Liang knew everything and was very excited when he heard it: "Attending the factory meeting? That could be a big prize. The factory director can even discuss the money and tickets with Mr. Chen on the spot."

Although the return air furnace was not a project he participated in, he could roughly estimate what he could get if the thermocouple project was successful. This project had more to say than the return air furnace and was more difficult. Now it seemed that he had a chance to pass the eighth level.

Xiao Liu shook his head: "What's the point of the title? I just want to be rewarded with a bicycle ticket. I want to buy a car." Luxury cars and BMWs are also things that can make a man unable to walk.

Sister Fang nodded his head and said, "Rong Guo, you are still young." She didn't say much, she was also very happy.

The other people in the office were all itching to join in, but there was nothing they could do. It was Mr. Chen who hesitated when he publicly called for help. Later, there was a saying: "Hesitation leads to defeat."

A few people here were talking happily when Section Chief Li from the Security Department's Training Section walked into the office holding a book.

Seeing someone coming in, several people dispersed and went back to work.

Section Chief Li walked to Gao Zhendong's seat, dragged a chair over and sat down, handed Gao Zhendong a cigarette, and then put the book on Gao Zhendong's desk: "Zhendong, I found the book. It's really a good thing. But I need your advice on something."

Section Chief Li didn't care that others saw him asking Gao Zhendong for advice. Was it shameful to ask a combat hero for advice on militia matters?

No, this is called putting work first, making full use of all favorable conditions, and doing the tasks assigned by the organization to the best of your ability.

Gao Zhendong flipped through the Militia Training Manual with great interest. As a senior military fan in his previous life, he had read it carefully, but it was not the original version, but a replica bought on a certain platform, and it was the March 60 edition. The original March 3 edition had long become relatively rare and could not be seen normally. Even if you wanted to buy it, you could not buy it. If you could buy it, you would keep it in your collection and would not be willing to read it from time to time.

When Gao Zhendong first came through, he was able to quickly integrate into the combat life, and this book played a certain role in that. This time we can see the earliest original version from March 59.

As Gao Zhendong flipped through the book, he said to Section Chief Li, "Section Chief Li, what's the matter? Tell me." Section Chief Li turned to the table of contents, pointed and said, "Look, there is too much content here. The militiamen in the militia team are all factory workers. They have limited time and cannot learn so much at once. They have to prioritize. So I came to you. You are most familiar with this. Please give me some suggestions."

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, that's the reason. Don't worry, let me take a look. Let me make it clear first, this book belongs to me. This is the first time I've seen this book. Thinking back to those days, I feel itchy in my heart."

Gao Zhendong was not polite and directly took the textbook for himself, not afraid that Section Chief Li would not agree. Often owing others small favors like this is actually good for building closer relationships.

Section Chief Li took out a pen and a notebook: "Okay, you talk after you finish reading, and I'll write it down." Although he was not well educated, he had no problem taking simple notes.

After Gao Zhendong looked through it, he pointed to the catalog and began to select training subjects: "We need to practice nuclear, biological and chemical knowledge first. This is the highlight."

Section Chief Li followed his instructions and wrote down the chapter number in the notebook, and Gao Zhendong continued to select.

"Practice the entire shooting training chapter. The common weapons usage in this manual is also in this chapter. For the combat action chapter, put the terrain, direction, and distance sections aside and practice everything else, especially night training."

"Practice all the combat duties, especially reconnaissance, alert, and observation. The rest will be discussed during the march and camp training."

Section Chief Li wrote quickly: "Okay, okay, okay, now it's clear, Zhendong, when it comes to fighting, it has to be you. If it weren't for the greater prospects in the technical department, I would have wanted to transfer you to my department, haha."

Of course, this is just a casual remark, as everyone knows it is impossible.

Gao Zhendong laughed: "Haha, even if I didn't go, I'm always here waiting for Chief Li to dispatch me."

Section Chief Li wrote down all the matters, closed his notebook, stood up, and whispered to Gao Zhendong with a mysterious and credit-seeking look: "Tomorrow morning, pay attention to the bulletin board when you enter the factory." After that, he left without any explanation.

Gao Zhendong stroked the book in his hand happily. In this era, he was not very interested in looking for old things in other people's old houses, but he was not interested in collecting books like this.

Thinking of this, Gao Zhendong's saliva was about to flow down, but some of them were not ready for publication yet, so there was no rush.

After wiping the non-existent drool, Gao Zhendong turned back to continue his work. The people in the project team were inspired by the glory of the return air furnace research group and were very motivated. They took the initiative to work overtime. To use the words of the war years, they were "rushing forward one by one, roaring."

As the project leader, Gao Zhendong also worked with them. Jia Dongxu brought dinner to everyone in the cafeteria. Tomorrow, they can basically start burning the electrodes.

It was almost 9 o'clock in the evening when Gao Zhendong and his apprentice Yi Zhonghai rode a tricycle borrowed from the factory. One of them rode while the other two walked, and they still took turns riding back to the courtyard.

Why? Because there is a return air furnace on the car, and four steel plates are welded vertically on the furnace. Not to mention, the welders in the factory are very skilled and the welding looks pretty good.
