Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 260 Asked the person in person (Subscription required)
After discussion, the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building decided to cut off some technical equipment that was not temporarily used and was introduced with a more practical attitude than practicality.

After being persuaded by Zhou Fengnian, he changed his aggressive attitude to a conservative one.

On the one hand, he was enlightened, but on the other hand, Zhou Fengnian's opinion was very important.

There are only nine projects left to be introduced. In Zhou Fengnian's opinion, these nine are still useful. They can be regarded as stepping stones to supplement the development of the industry and will also be used domestically in a few years.

Moreover, after absorbing and digesting it in the future, we can continue to conduct in-depth research and development.

The future industrial development layout will also cultivate relevant talents and then catch up and overtake.

Zhou Fengnian said a lot at the meeting, mainly talking about the direction in which the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building should develop next.

Instead of having five fingers moving in five directions at the same time, it is better to make a fist and break through in one direction.

In the future, the main development direction of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building should be electronic information and wireless communications. This is the future.

The meeting lasted three hours. At noon, the secretaries and assistants of each leader helped to bring food over, and they all ate in the conference room.

Zhou Fengnian nodded while eating. The chef in the department was really good. The dishes looked like big pot dishes, but they were cooked using stir-fry techniques. They were much better than those in their factory.

The Shenzhou Computer Factory is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, but they can't find a good cook in the four canteens.

Deputy Director Chai had also looked for him before, but at that time all good chefs had some problems to some extent, and there was no need for Zhou Fengnian to get into trouble for food, so he let it go.

Everything is fine now. He will have to talk to Deputy Director Chai about this when he returns. It doesn't cost much to hire a few good cooks, but it will allow the workers to eat well and have more energy to work.

After eating in the conference room, we took a break and then continued the meeting.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that we finished talking.

Cut off some technical equipment of little use, adjust the import categories, and confirm the next development direction of the department.

It was considered a plan for the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, but the person in charge of this matter was still criticized, even though he was Gu Wenjie's man.

He was clearly asked to consult Zhou Fengnian, but something like this happened today. If he hadn't been promoted, Gu Wenjie would still want to punish him.

But it is much better than the previous case with the surname Zhao. Today, Deputy Director Xia was only criticized and did not receive any punishment.

After the meeting, the discussion results and meeting minutes were summarized and condensed, ready to be sent to the superiors for review.

Gu Wenjie also wanted to use the results of their meeting today to remind the deputy leaders.

The Fourth Ministry of Machine Building was still okay, as all the products it introduced were related to the electronics industry. However, few other provinces and cities could engage in the electronics industry, and most of them were concentrated around Sijiucheng and Yanhe River.

It would be difficult to control the First Ministry of Machine Building, as all the machinery factories and heavy industrial plants there wanted to introduce technical equipment from outside for development.

It’s like a competition. If the neighboring province or city has it but you don’t, then you are lagging behind.

At this time, the orders from the Ministry of First Machine Building were probably not very effective. The county officials were not as good as the current ones. It was common for local governments to hide the fact that they wanted to introduce the technology from the Ministry of First Machine Building and then report to it after the technology was introduced and the factory was built.

Zhou Fengnian brought this up with his old leader, who also took it seriously. However, Zhou Fengnian was not sure whether he could control it.

Otherwise, if we import all of them at once, it will be just like the situation in the 1950s, and we will definitely be facing financial difficulties in two years.

After Zhou Fengnian returned to the factory, he saw that the office was tidy and tidy, and he nodded involuntarily.

If Zhou Fengnian wasn't afraid of hindering Pan Heng's development, he would really like to keep him by his side.

He himself has no intention of climbing up the ladder, and Pan Heng is also very capable, so letting him be in charge of one area will allow him to better display his talents.

The endurance problem of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft has been almost solved. Now the flight time is enough to fly at high altitude for an hour, and the maximum flight height is about one thousand meters.

Next, Zhou Fengnian will have to study stealth materials and hide them from current radar detection.

Data transmission is relatively simple, and Zhou Fengnian can develop real-time data transmission technology without wasting simulation times.

Zhou Fengnian is really not good at stealth materials. Although he has learned some skills, their levels are not high.

So Zhou Fengnian asked Pan Heng to find him a bunch of books, and he also borrowed more than 30 books when he went to Tsinghua University.

I plan to upgrade all my skills in a short period of time.

Reading a book repeatedly will also help you gain proficiency, but it will be lower; only by reading new books in the same category can you gain proficiency quickly.

Dean Pang asked Zhou Fengnian why he started studying optical materials. Zhou Fengnian answered directly that it was necessary for research and he would use it in the future, so he would prepare for it.

Dean Pang secretly admired this answer. It is not uncommon for people to continue studying in their thirties or forties, but it is rare to find someone like Zhou Fengnian who, after achieving high achievements in one field, continues to delve into other subjects.

Either it's a spur of the moment decision, or you have absolute confidence in yourself and feel that you can learn something good now.

He felt that Zhou Fengnian must be the latter. He was so busy that he had little time to teach. How could he read so many books just out of interest?

What Zhou Fengnian felt was a pity was that the books in the Tsinghua University Library were difficult to buy, otherwise he would have wanted to take them home.

——————Time flies. Within two or three months, Zhou Fengnian has improved his skills in optical materials and other related subjects to a very high level.

After his level increased, the proficiency system instilled in him some knowledge about stealth.

Zhou Fengnian has already started the research, but it has just begun and the progress is not very fast.

Now the third-generation Shenzhou Son aircraft is about to be developed. By then he can leave the Shenzhou Computer Factory and go to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building to be responsible for matters related to wireless communications.

When he is promoted to deputy leader of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, he will be responsible for more things, at least a dozen factories, as well as related departments of the ministry.

Everything was calm at home. Zhou Xianyang often went home and reported only good news to his mother, which saved Zhou Fengnian from being nagged.

However, Zhou Xianyang's business was indeed very successful and he did not fall behind in his studies. Zhou Fengnian knew this best. Whenever he went to Tsinghua University, he would check on his son's academic progress.

Selling peanuts in school was also allowed. The school cafeteria came forward and commissioned Zhou Xianyang to produce fried peanuts, which were then sent to the cafeteria for sale.

At the same time, students from poor families are also allowed to take fried peanuts from the cafeteria and sell them outside.

Although the process was much more complicated, after going through all of this, everyone had access to the Tsinghua University cafeteria, and safety was greatly improved.

Some Tsinghua University students went to the streets to sell peanuts during their breaks, without fear of being caught by the joint defense team.

They all have certificates issued by Tsinghua University, and because of family difficulties, the canteen allows them to be considered half of the canteen's members.

This way, three parties benefit. The ones who fried the peanuts are Zhou Xianzhe and Zhou Xianrui, and the two brothers made money.

The cafeteria at Tsinghua University not only made money, but also earned a good reputation for helping poor students. Students from poor families also had extra income and were able to support their families.

More than 30 people participated within two months, which is a considerable scale.

Zhou Xianyang worked hard for a month, but apart from a good reputation, he didn't get any benefits at all.

Zhou Xianzhe and Zhou Xianrui wanted to give him some, but were rejected by Zhou Xianyang; he just came up with the idea and made some connections, but he didn't care about anything else afterwards, so why would he take any money?

Instead, Zhou Jia'an and Zhou Weitian whispered a few words, saying that his business was taken away by his son and two nephews; but Zhou Jia'an was not angry. Instead, he was very happy because Zhou Xianrui was doing real work.

As long as he was not an idler, he could accept it. Moreover, it was a business related to the public, which was safe and could make money to support his family.

One day.

Zhou Fengnian was studying stealth materials in his study at home when he suddenly heard shouting outside.

"Fengnian, Aunt Li is here, come out for a moment."

After hearing this, Zhou Fengnian put down the paper and pen in his hand, walked out to take a look, and immediately said with a smile: "Hey Aunt Li, you are finally here, as well as Brother Luo and Jianye, please stay for lunch."

They only met once every two months. Last time, Li Nianhua brought Luo Jianye with him and borrowed some college entrance examination books from Zhou Fengnian.

Luo Dechang said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Fengnian, I've been busy since I joined the army and only have time now. I'm on leave today, so I came here."

"Brother Luo, how can I not understand you? Sometimes I am also busy and my wife often complains about me. It is normal for people like us to be busy."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he invited everyone to go in and take a seat. Not long after, Zhou Yan came in with tea, snacks and fruits. After putting them down, she gave Zhou Fengnian a displeased look, obviously because of what she had just heard Zhou Fengnian say to her.

After sitting down, Zhou Fengnian said with a smile: "You can come over anytime when Jianye is on holiday, and you can ask me if you have any questions.

Aunt Li, please bring him here and have lunch with me."

Li Nianhua smiled and said, "Okay, this kid is a little shy, I'll come over more often then."

Zhou Fengnian said: "Why should you be afraid? Going to college is the most important thing now. You only get one chance a year."

Luo Dechang nodded after hearing this and decided to go back and have a good talk with his son, telling him not to miss the opportunity to go to college just because he felt embarrassed.

He actually wanted Luo Jianye to join the army, but his son wanted to study, and his father's wishes before his death forced Luo Dechang to suppress his thoughts and devote all his efforts to training Luo Jianye to go to college and become an engineer like his father in the future.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Fengnian solved some of Luo Jianye's accumulated problems, and then asked Luo Dechang: "Brother Luo, you are not busy recently, right? How many days off do you have in a month?"

Luo Dechang said: "I'm not busy, but I just went to the army recently and they released a new tactical research, which gave me a headache."

"What tactic?"

Zhou Fengnian asked curiously, but soon realized: "Forget it if it's inconvenient."

"It's nothing inconvenient. In fact, I was just thinking of asking you for advice."

Luo Dechang paused for a moment and continued, "It is the impact of modern electronic information technology on future wars. Fengnian, I don't know much about modern electronic information technology. Can you tell me about it?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Fengnian immediately smiled and said, "That's it, Brother Luo, you finally asked the right person!"
