Chapter 64: Perhaps Yan Jiecheng changed his fate

Gao Zhendong thought about the little he had seen in his previous life, and said, "I was thinking, if we make the turbine blades and turbine discs hollow, and spray cooling air out from them to form a layer of cold air film on the surface of the blades, could this improve the cooling of the blades?"

This is actually the hollow turbine blade technology that was implemented on the Kunlun aeroengine in the mid-20s.

When Mr. Wang heard what Gao Zhendong said, he did not laugh at him for talking nonsense, but fell into deep thought.

Gao Zhendong looked at him with a frown on his face, and thought that his statement might be too advanced, so he tried to smooth things over: "I'm just thinking about it casually, don't listen to my nonsense, haha."

Mr. Wang thought for a long time and looked at Gao Zhendong. "Your idea is not entirely unreasonable. Unfortunately, we are just imitating it. It is too risky to make such a big change on the turbine disc and blades. However, if it is a new model, it is not impossible to consider it."

Forty years later, Chief Engineer Wang wrote in his memoirs: "Comrade Gao Zhendong's words opened my eyes. The idea of ​​making hollow turbines took root in my heart for the first time. I have to say that his sensitivity to technology and innovation ability are innate and top-notch. Later, I finally put Comrade Gao Zhendong's idea into practice on the self-developed LYP-7 engine, and combined with the high-temperature alloy material he invented, I greatly increased the engine thrust."

This is a later story, let’s not talk about it anymore.

Chief Engineer Wang collected his thoughts from Gao Zhendong's words and continued to write the letter to borrow thermocouples from the third rolling mill manufacturer. Gao Zhendong personally took him all the way to complete the procedures and took away ten N-type thermocouples.

Before leaving, Chief Engineer Wang also invited Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, if you have time, come to our institute and have a visit. The Northeast is really fun."

There was a hint of wanting to kidnap Gao Zhendong to their place in these words.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Of course, of course. I will come to visit you when I have time."

In the evening, Gao Zhendong returned home and had just finished his meal and cleaned up when the door rang.

Gao Zhendong opened the door and saw that it was Yan Bugui.

Gao Zhendong invited him in and put a plate of peanuts on the table as a treat for the guest.

Gao Zhendong asked Yan Bugui why he came: "Teacher Yan, you never come to visit me without a reason. Do you have something to ask today?"

Yan Bugui nodded: "Yes, yes, I'm here to congratulate you."

"Congratulations to me?"

"Yes, I heard from Jia Dongxu today that you have been promoted twice and are now a level 8 engineer. So when I saw you were back, I came to congratulate you."

Gao Zhendong thought, if you want to congratulate, you could at least write a few auspicious words on a piece of red paper. It doesn't look like congratulations if you come with nothing in your hands.

But you definitely can’t say this: “Thank you, Mr. Yan. It’s all thanks to the factory. Come on, have some peanuts and share in the good fortune.”

The two chatted for quite a while. Gao Zhendong saw that Yan Bugui had no intention of leaving, so he probably knew that he had something to ask, but he didn't know what he wanted to say, so he continued to talk in circles with him. At the end of the conversation, Yan Bugui couldn't help it: "Zhendong, I heard that in addition to the promotion of your title, your position was also promoted? You are a team leader of some kind?"

This scene seemed familiar. When Gao Zhendong transferred Master Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice to the thermocouple research group, Yan Bugui also did the same thing.

Gao Zhendong shook his head. "No, it's just that the equipment is about to be put into production, so a few people from our department organized a temporary team to support the production. Even if this kind of team leader has the word 'leader' in his name, his farts are still silent."

This time Yan Bugui did not back down immediately, but pleaded with Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, no matter what, you have gained momentum in the factory. Look at my son, he still has no proper job. I am worried when I see him."

Gao Zhendong did not hide it: "Teacher Yan, it's not that I don't want to help. First of all, I am not a cadre, so I don't have much say in the matter of recruiting. Secondly, I am most familiar with the affairs of the technical department. You know, if the conditions are solved, he basically doesn't have to think about the affairs of the technical department. The hard lever is there, so I can't help you with this end of the factory."

In fact, even if Gao Zhendong had asked Wang Dezhu about the joint defense team members, he never mentioned it to Yan Bugui. The main reason was that Yan Jiecheng was already a worker in a steel rolling mill when the TV series began, and his monthly salary was more than 30 yuan.

This way out is much better than being a member of the joint defense team. If Gao Zhendong introduces him to the joint defense team, it would be tantamount to doing more harm than good. However, this matter cannot be said clearly.

Yan Bugui listened carefully and caught the hesitation in Gao Zhendong's words: "Zhendong, you said the factory can't help, does that mean people outside the factory can help?"

For a moment, Gao Zhendong wanted to slap himself twice, saying, "You are so talkative!" This Yan Bugui is a smart and cunning person.

After thinking it over, he decided to give it a try. Since Yan Bugui was so eager to owe him a favor and take the risk, he would just let him do it. Maybe after a while, when he found a way to get to the steel mill, he would call Yan Jiecheng back from the joint defense team, and maybe he wouldn't lose anything.

Gao Zhendong had no choice but to say, "Teacher Yan, this is the case. I know someone at the police station in our area. If you are willing, I can be a member of the joint defense team and have some say."

Yan Bugui was overjoyed. In his opinion, no matter how small a sparrow is, it is still meat. As long as it is a job, it is fine. "Really? Zhendong, thank you so much."

"Teacher Yan, let me be frank. Being a joint defense team member is a serious job, but it is not a formal job. The salary is low, but there are a lot of things to do. In the long run, there is no guarantee. You should consider it carefully. In addition, it is okay to introduce someone to the position, but I can't control anything else. How well you do it is up to you."

A member of the joint defense team can only get more than ten yuan a month, but Yan Bugui doesn't care. His family originally had some money, but with more children, they are overwhelmed, so he would feed one mouth first.

Besides, being a member of the joint defense team does not mean there is no chance for further advancement. Thinking of this, Yan Bugui said yes as long as Gao Zhendong was willing to help.

Seeing this, Gao Zhendong had no choice but to make an agreement with him: "Okay, as long as you don't mind, I'll find some time this weekend to look for someone, and I'll let you know when it's confirmed."

Yan Bugui also knew that Gao Zhendong was busy with work, and being able to finalize the event for this weekend was already a great honor for him, so he thanked him repeatedly.

So, with Yan Bugui thanking him profusely, Gao Zhendong sent him out the door. Before leaving, he grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in his pocket. Wow, it was amazing!
