Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 51: Testing (Subscription Request)

The fog was so thick on Saturday morning that you couldn't see people's faces more than 5 meters away.

Wang Jiankun took this opportunity to use his superpowers to dig a cubic space underground in the back mountain, which was 3 meters long, 13 meters wide and meters high.

Among them, useful silicon, iron, aluminum, magnesium, etc. are made into small pieces and stored in underground space, while the others, mainly hydrogen, oxygen, etc., are exported into the air.

This is the first step in building underground space, which is to dig a vertical shaft 50 meters deep underground and then dig upwards layer by layer.

Wang Jiankun has already drawn up the design drawings for the underground space, which is a four-story structure in the shape of an inverted pyramid.

The fourth and lowest floor is 50 meters from the foot of the mountain.

This floor is 180 square meters and is where the most valuable things are placed. The control center is also placed on this floor.

The third floor, with an area of ​​360 square meters, is used as biology and chemistry laboratories.

The second floor, with an area of ​​720 square meters, is used as a physics and electronic semiconductor laboratory.

The first floor, with an area of ​​1440 square meters, is used as a small production site and test production line.

Each layer is in the shape of a round cake, 5 meters high, and there are 3-meter-thick partitions between layers.

The ceiling of the first floor is 18 meters from the foot of the mountain, so that some activities underground will not be heard on the ground.

If the entire underground space, including the soil layer, is to be transformed, superpowers will be needed to process 2.2 cubic meters of material.

If the current capacity of mobilizing elements is calculated at 125 cubic meters per day, it will take 176 days, or about half a year, to complete the construction.

However, according to the rule that the more you use it, the stronger its ability will be, the speed of construction should be able to be accelerated.

Moreover, you can build it in stages. First, build the framework, and then build the interior in batches according to your own development rhythm.

After checking that the monitoring and defense systems were operating normally, Wang Jiankun rode his bicycle to school for morning reading.

After morning reading, Wang Jiankun and Fang Guihua went to the cafeteria to have breakfast together. On the way, Wang Jiankun asked them how they did on the test questions.

"I should be able to finish it by noon. Hu Chunming and Cheng Ming will also be finished at about the same time. I'll collect theirs and hand them over to you before get out of class ends this afternoon."

"Okay, believe me, although you may not be used to it at first, as long as you follow my method carefully, you should all make great progress in the midterm exam."

"The three of us all believe in you. You were right that day. If you take the college entrance exam a year earlier, you will have many more opportunities than those who take the same exam. We started late, so we must not miss the chance to catch up now."

"Okay, come to my place for dinner this Sunday, and I'll show you something good."

"What good stuff? Reveal it in advance!"

"Haha! We'll see each other tomorrow at noon. It's not good to tell you alone!"

"Why are you keeping me in suspense? Tell me now."

"It's a computer. A personal computer, you know?"

"I don't know, what is it used for?"

"It's hard to explain it to you now. You'll understand tomorrow when you see the real thing."

After breakfast, Fang Guihua went to the dormitory to dry the quilt. The thick quilt he brought from home needed to be dried in the sun for a while to keep it warm.

Wang Jiankun returned to the classroom and saw the class monitor Wu Xiaoyi sitting in his seat.

When the monitor saw him coming, he stood up and said with a smile: "Jiankun, let's go out for a walk and bask in the sun on the playground."

Wang Jiankun felt strange about the monitor's unusual behavior. He must be asking him for help with something.

"Okay, I'll put down the lunch box."

After putting away the lunch boxes, the two walked towards the playground. On the way there, Wu Xiaoyi gave the motorcycle keys to Wang Jiankun, and Wang Jiankun gave him the bicycle keys.

I didn’t say anything else, probably because there were students passing by on the road from time to time and it was difficult to say.

Walking to a secluded step in the playground, they blew away the dust and sat down to bask in the sun.

After waiting for about two minutes, squad leader Wu Xiaoyi spoke up, "Jiankun, on the evening of the 5th, you said that our county still has development advantages, but we just need to integrate resources and borrow some external forces. If we want to develop the economy, there is still a way. What do you mean by that? Can you explain it to me more clearly?"

Wang Jiankun didn't expect that the squad leader had such a good memory. He almost remembered everything he said that night.

"Monitor, are you asking me this on your own behalf?"

"I'm asking this on behalf of myself and my dad. After I went back, I thought about what you said for two days but couldn't get the point. So I told my dad about it. He said that you have a plan in mind and you should have a good way to develop the economy. He asked me to talk to you in detail. If it's feasible, my dad will carefully consider your idea."

"Well, I do have an immature idea. This time I went to Guangzhou to look for my uncle. He works at the Guangzhou Import and Export Company. He usually connects with foreign businessmen, and he is also responsible for part of the external liaison work of the Canton Fair. So as long as we have good products, we should be able to export them overseas through my uncle's relationship."

"This is a good way, but it's hard to find products that can be exported. Jingdezhen next door can export porcelain, and foreigners also recognize it, but we don't have the technology or resources to do it. As for agricultural products, we don't have much to show for it. Only Wuyuan green tea is okay, but foreigners don't seem to like green tea. They like black tea and milk to make milk tea."

"How about this, you go to my recycling station at noon tomorrow and I'll show you a sample suitcase. This kind of product has only just appeared overseas, but I estimate that there will be a huge demand in the future. If we can make it, there should be no problem selling it."

"A suitcase? What kind? Can we go and have a look at it at noon today?"

"Okay, let's go there at noon today. I'll tell you the general idea of ​​manufacturing, and you can show it to your father."

"Okay, then we'll go to your recycling station at noon. We'll go to the restaurant at the door to eat first, and then go to your place after dinner."

"Okay, then it's settled. Let's go back to class!"

In fact, after talking to the squad leader that night, Wang Jiankun thought about designing a product that is not difficult to produce but has a great demand.

There are two types of this product, one is a canvas trolley case and the other is an aluminum alloy trolley case.

Canvas trolley cases can be produced in a factory in the county town, where there is a canvas factory. The canvas will then be coated with rubber to make the main body of the case, and then steel wire will be sewn to make the frame of the case.

The pull rod rack, the elastic limit plates inside, the wheel frames, etc. can all be produced by stamping.

The rubber can be purchased by my uncle from Southeast Asia and then imported, and the technology can be said to be provided by my uncle.

At that time, we will set up a joint venture factory with the county. My uncle's Hong Kong-funded company will provide technology, equipment and some raw materials, and the county government will provide factory buildings, personnel and raw materials.

It would be best if the squad leader's father, the county magistrate, could push the project to fruition, which would be a contribution to the hometown's economy. If not, that's okay, as they could build a joint venture factory in Guangzhou.

As soon as the school bell rang in the morning, the class monitor ran over and took Wang Jiankun to the restaurant at the door to eat.

Winter was approaching, and the squad leader ordered a dish of beef stewed with taro, which was put in a copper hot pot and stewed over charcoal fire. The two of them started eating as soon as they arrived.

The beef has been stewed over charcoal fire and is already very soft. The chef's cooking skills are very good and it doesn't taste strong. The taro has absorbed the beef broth and is soft, sticky and delicious.

After eating the delicious beef hotpot, Wang Jiankun rode a motorcycle with the squad leader to the scrap recycling station.

When Mr. and Mrs. Ye Wei saw that Wang Jiankun had brought someone with him, they greeted him and went back into the house to avoid disturbing them.

Wang Jiankun took out the canvas trolley case that he had made using his superpowers two days ago, demonstrated it in front of the squad leader, unzipped it, put clothes in it, zipped it up again, pulled up the handle, and easily dragged the case across the already flat yard.

After seeing it, the squad leader also felt that this trolley case was very practical. He tried pushing and pulling it and found it very easy. If it could be produced, it should be able to be sold in major cities in China. Of course, it would be even better if it could be exported.

"Jiankun, can we make this kind of suitcase?"

"Sure, I'll explain each part to you one by one."

"Okay, please tell me about it so I can tell my dad when I get home."

"First, the cloth used for the main body of the box is a relatively thick canvas coated with a layer of rubber, which is waterproof and increases the upright feeling. The canvas factory in our county should be able to make this kind of canvas, and my uncle's company can buy the coating equipment and rubber from abroad."

"Your uncle? Didn't you say at noon that your uncle was at the Guangzhou Import and Export Company? Will he help with the purchase?" "No, I have two uncles. The older one works at the import and export company, and the younger one is currently abroad. It doesn't matter. You just need to know that this kind of equipment and rubber can be imported from abroad."

"Okay, keep talking."

"The edge frame is made of steel wire that we can buy in China, and it is also wrapped with a layer of rubber. The manufacturing equipment is also very simple, similar to the equipment for making cables, and it can also be bought."

"Yes, there is a cable factory in Dexing. We can go there and ask about the equipment."

"The next step is the pull rod. It can be stamped into a square tube using galvanized iron sheets. The steel mills in Raozhou should also be able to manufacture it."

"I need to go back and confirm this."

"It doesn't matter if we don't have it. Galvanizing technology is not complicated. At worst, we can build a galvanizing plant. Then we can purchase iron coils from steel mills and galvanize and stamp them ourselves."

"Okay, go on."

"The skeleton inside the four wheels below can be formed by iron stamping, then galvanized, and then coated with rubber. The elastic limiter inside the tie rod can be stamped by buying manganese steel sheets."

"Jiankun, how do we get the stamping equipment?"

"My uncle can purchase from abroad!"

"Okay! From what you said, it seems very feasible. Can I take this box home and show it to my dad?"

"Okay, you can take it, but remember to give it back to me."

"Okay, I promise to return the jade intact."

After saying that, he asked Wang Jiankun for the car keys, tied the box to the back seat of the car, and rode away.

Watching the squad leader walking away, Wang Jiankun hoped that his father could successfully push this project to a successful implementation, allowing this small county to take a solid step towards reform and opening up.

I talked to Ye Wei about the recent recycling situation and found that more and more people came to sell waste, especially old furniture.

Looking at the pile of things on the side, I decided to convert them all into rubber particles tomorrow. The volume will be greatly reduced and then transported to the underground base as experimental subjects.

In the afternoon, Wang Jiankun received the test questions from Fang Guihua, Hu Chunming and Cheng Ming.

Wang Jiankun projected all of this into his mind and asked Zhizi to check and analyze the knowledge points mastered by the three of them.

Then, according to the degree of knowledge they have mastered, a set of study guides for the next week will be generated, including mind maps, key points, example questions and test questions.

During evening study, Wang Jiankun prepared the information for the three people and planned to give it to them when they went to the recycling station tomorrow.

Class monitor Wu Xiaoyi stopped him at the end of evening study and returned the motorcycle keys to him.

Then I asked him if he could write a plan and wrote down the relevant ideas for this suitcase project.

For example, how big will the investment be, what will the annual output value be if it goes into production, how much is expected to be exported and how much foreign exchange will be received.

Specifically, write down which equipment and materials are provided by Wang Jiankun's uncle, which equipment and materials can be purchased domestically, etc.

Wang Jiankun thought about it and asked the squad leader to get it from him on Monday, and he would write a project plan at home the next day.

After separating from the squad leader, I rode a motorcycle to a scrap recycling station, used my super powers to check on the roadside, and didn't go in.

After returning to Yu Yu Garden, Wang Jiankun prepared the information of the three classmates and made it into A4-sized white paper. He then said that it was made with a computer and printed out with a printer.

Wang Jiankun modified the computer, localized the software into Chinese, and also made an inkjet printer according to the technical data.

Wang Jiankun decided to test it here for a while and then find an opportunity to take it home for his mother to use, believing that this could ease his mother's workload.

As usual, I would listen to the chats of the "hams" in the evening. If I was interested, I would listen for a while longer, and if I was not interested, I would tune out.

A common topic among the "hams" in the Soviet Union is how to get alcohol.

Some people were even selling alcohol on the radio, saying they could be exchanged for supplies.

There were actually people who went to contact him, and he said on the radio that they could exchange weapons with him, including AK47s, matching bullets, and even mortars and artillery shells.

This made Wang Jiankun, who was eavesdropping, feel unbelievable. The country whose military power had shocked the whole world some time ago, their citizens actually had to rely on reselling weapons and equipment to exchange for alcohol.

Moreover, it seems that the management of weapons is rather lax, and even mortars can be stolen.

If we take this as an example, we will know that there will definitely be more serious thefts of military supplies or state-owned enterprise supplies.

Once the radio license is issued, I will definitely communicate with my uncle to see if there is any way to go to the Soviet Union to exchange for some supplies.

At present, with the implementation of the contract responsibility system, the supply of domestic agricultural products is becoming more and more sufficient. If we can exchange domestic agricultural products for Soviet industrial products, we will make considerable profits.

The next morning, Wang Jiankun used his superpowers to dig a vertical shaft 13 meters deep, 3 meters long and wide. He still had some superpowers left to use at the waste recycling station.

Wang Jiankun came to the scrap recycling station and took over the work with Ye Wei, and asked Ye Wei to come again in the evening.

After Ye Wei left, Wang Jiankun turned the old furniture piled nearby into plastic particles, which he packed into stacked empty boxes. He also combined the scrap copper and iron into metal ingots and packed them into boxes. He then made seven or eight trips on his motorcycle to transport them to Yuyu Garden for storage.

After finishing all these, Wang Jiankun went to the market at Dongmen Bridge to buy some meat.

Because we went there late, there was almost no fat left, so I weighed 5 pounds of ribs and bought some potatoes, preparing to stew a pot of ribs.

They also bought some rice, oil and seasonings. It would not be good to use Ye Wei's. It was not easy for the couple to earn money, so Wang Jiankun would not take advantage of this small advantage.

At around 10 o'clock, Fang Guihua came with his people. He asked them to help prepare the ribs and stew them in the pot, and then he took them into the house to see the computer and printer.

After entering the room, Wang Jiankun lifted the dust cloth, revealing a white computer.

Wang Jiankun first explained to them what each component was.

The one at the top with a screen like a TV is the computer monitor, the rectangular block below is the computer host, and the many small bumps on the front of the host are the keyboard.

He connected the power first, pressed the power button and waited for a few seconds. The indicator lights on the host and screen lit up. After more than ten seconds, the three white-striped capital letters of IBM appeared on the screen.

Wang Jiankun entered commands using the keyboard, entered the word processing software, and typed a few lines on the keyboard.

Several people watched Wang Jiankun skillfully typing on the keyboard, and then words appeared one by one in the white box on the screen, and they were all amazed.

Then he opened the data processing spreadsheet, made a transcript, entered the grades of the top 20 students in the school, turned on the printer, and printed out the transcript and the text he had entered.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the printer spit out a piece of white paper with the transcript Wang Jiankun had just made on it.

This was a bit beyond their understanding. In the past, if they wanted to make a written document, they had to either write it by hand or copy it on wax paper. But it would definitely not be as easy as Wang Jiankun, who could just type on the keyboard and make changes.

Several people asked him to explain the principles of the computer and the printer. Wang Jiankun also wanted to popularize the latest computer knowledge to these students.

So he explained the basic principles and development history of computers, and then told them that this was the latest personal computer, and that Wang Jiankun had also translated it into Chinese, allowing the computer to display Chinese.

After eating the delicious braised spareribs at noon, Wang Jiankun first called Fang Guihua, Hu Chunming and Cheng Ming aside, handed them the self-study materials customized for them, and asked them to come to him in time if they had any questions.

Then I gave each of them a copy of some introductory computer materials, so they could exchange them and use them as extracurricular reading material. If someone wants to study computer science in the college entrance examination in the future, they will be far ahead of others if they start now.

After sending his junior high school classmates home at around 3 p.m., Wang Jiankun began to write a project book with Tomoko. Referring to the information in his mind, he wrote down several key elements of the suitcase factory project.

The words spoken to squad leader Wu Xiaoyi a few days ago and the information were just a test from Wang Jian's team against the current county leaders.

I wonder if the domestic trend toward accelerated engagement with the United States and Western Europe after last month’s Soviet military exercises has affected county leaders.

If this project fails, Wang Jiankun can only pin his hopes on the project in Guangzhou, and he will have to continue waiting for the opportunity in his hometown county.
