Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 314 More Important Protection Arrangements (Subscription Request)

It was almost eight o'clock when we came out of Donglaishun.

Zhou Fengnian took his group to eat hot pot for almost two hours. The average cost per person was two or three yuan, and this meal alone cost nearly a hundred yuan.

When checking out, some students felt a little embarrassed after seeing it. It was their teacher who taught them research and development, and most of the work was done by teacher Zhou Fengnian.

In the end, they ate so much in one meal, which was really inappropriate.
After coming out of Donglaishun, Zhou Fengnian saw the embarrassment on some students' faces, and immediately said to them with a smile: "Don't be so shy about having a meal. If you behave well, I can always treat you to meals.

When you make money in the future, please invite me back. My memory is very good, and no one can escape."

After hearing this, Zhou Fengnian's students immediately relaxed and said, "Teacher, don't worry, we will definitely invite you back in the future."

"Yes, I'll treat you to ten meals!"

"Then I'll treat you all to a meal..."

"Then I'll have twelve."

Zhou Fengnian interrupted and said, "You're arguing about this kind of thing. All right, let's go back and have a rest. Today is just a small success, and we have to continue to improve this robot tomorrow."

Although this industrial robot worked successfully, there were still some areas that could be improved, and their observations were not in vain.

Problems that arise during repetitive operations, possible interactions when multiple robots work together, etc., all of these need to be taken into consideration.

However, the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, and Zhou Fengnian does not plan to start new research before the New Year. That would be too much of a suspense and would not allow for a good new year.

There is no need to report such matters to the leaders. In Zhou Fengnian's eyes, the operation of a robot can only be considered half-baked. Only when the first unmanned production workshop appears can it be considered the beginning of the robot era in China.

It didn’t take long to develop and manufacture the robot, as most of the time was spent on teaching.

This was the most serious teaching by Zhou Fengnian. He was even more responsible than when he taught Zhou Xianyang. Even when he was so busy running between Tsinghua University and the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, Zhou Fengnian still did not fall behind in his teaching tasks.

We will try to make them all learn first, and then start developing and manufacturing robots.

With Zhou Fengnian's teaching foundation and their first manufacturing experience, his students will all become big names in the field of robotics in the future.

A house near Qianmen Street.

After Luo Jianye came back from opening the door with his bicycle, he shouted into the house, "Grandma, I'm back."

Usually, there are only him and Li Nianhua at home, so when Luo Jianye comes back, he will shout to let his grandmother know that he is home.

But today, after he finished shouting, a man came out of the main house and said to Luo Jianye, "Come back if you want to. Why are you shouting so late at night?"

Luo Jianye was startled, and said in surprise: "Dad? Are you guys having a day off today?"

"Well, I have a day off tomorrow, so I came back early tonight."

When Luo Dechang approached, he suddenly smelled the smell of hot pot on his son and couldn't help asking, "Did you go out for dinner today?"

Luo Jianye nodded happily and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhou treated us. We have made considerable progress in the robot project and the first robot has been successfully manufactured, so Uncle Zhou was happy and invited all of us to Donglaishun for a meal."

"Robot? What is this? Tell me more about it."

Luo Dechang hadn't seen his son for a long time and wanted to chat with him, so he called him into the house and sat him down to have a good chat.

After entering the room, Luo Jianye couldn't help but say: "Robots are actually similar to computers. They are machines with intelligence that can replace us humans to do various tasks.
Today we have successfully tested the first computer in the factory, and there will be several more next year. By then, we may be able to create an unmanned production workshop, which will not only improve production efficiency but also save manpower."

"Save manpower. What about the workers?"

Luo Dechang asked in confusion: "Jianye, the robots you make can replace workers, so won't that mean there will be more workers without workstations?"

"How can there be no workstations? The reason is that we are not producing enough and there are not enough skilled workers. Foreign countries want to buy a large number of computers, but our production has not been able to meet their purchasing needs."

Luo Jianye shook his head and explained to his father: "And the ultimate goal of robots is to replace humans to do some dangerous work, of course we have to start with the simple ones.

Dad, isn't our socialism about making everyone rich? If everyone is rich, we will definitely need robots to do the work. This is the ultimate goal."

He could only give a general idea. He had heard a lot from Zhou Fengnian, but he didn't understand much of what he had said, so he could only copy what Zhou Fengnian had said and tell Luo Dechang.

"Robots can also be used in wars. Aren't drones also controllable robots? In the future, there will be more types of robots, such as those for underwater exploration and deep well exploration."

Luo Dechang didn't understand technology, but after his son's lecture, he slowly convinced him. Moreover, he was not the unreasonable person, so he would not argue when he heard that what his son said made sense.

"Okay, just study hard. It seems you have learned a lot from Fengnian. You must listen to Fengnian in the future."

Luo Dechang started talking. At this time, his wife also came out for a long time and sat next to them listening to what they said.

After hearing Zhou Fengnian's news, Luo Dechang's wife said, "Jianye, has your teacher told us about the New Year's arrangements? Your father, your grandmother and I are planning to go to visit relatives and friends during the New Year."

"Mom, that's not a coincidence. Uncle Zhou said he plans to go back to the village to celebrate the New Year this year. It seems he can't refuse."

Luo Jianye suddenly remembered this incident and said to his parents, "Have you read the newspaper? The wealthy village that appeared most frequently in the newspapers a few days ago is Uncle Zhou's hometown."

"The Jufu Village is the Hongjia Village, right?"

Luo Dechang suddenly remembered and said that the officers in their army also had newspapers, so they naturally saw this shocking news.

At the time, they thought the newspaper was making things up, but after continuing to follow the reports, they realized it was true and there really was a village of super-rich people in the country.

In fact, Sanshui Commune is also very rich. Thanks to a mushroom chili sauce factory, its annual profit is over one million; but compared with the fertilizer factory in Hongjia Village, it is far behind.

Over the past three years, the lowest dividend was 90,000 yuan, with an average of 30,000 yuan per year. I earned dozens of yuan a day, which is more than the biggest leader.

"Yes, that fertilizer factory was also a collective industry created by Uncle Zhou. After the report came out, Hongjia Village seemed to want Uncle Zhou to go back. I once ran into Uncle Zhou answering the phone."

Luo Jianye said: "Dad, if you want to visit and wish us a happy new year, you have to go as soon as possible."

"Yes, it seems we have to make arrangements in advance."

Luo Dechang nodded and said that Zhou Fengnian had helped their family a lot. Although Zhou Fengnian used his father's help as an excuse, what Luo Dechang heard from his father was different.

What his father said was clearly that the two of them were close friends regardless of age difference, and that it was a situation of mutual help. His father also received a lot of help from Zhou Fengnian.

But after they came back, Zhou Fengnian took a lot of care of them. It would be a bit unreasonable not to express their gratitude during the New Year.

The Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, in Zhou Fengnian’s office.

The end of the year is a busy time for reporting, and Zhou Fengnian is no exception. But today someone came to him, and it was a very important person.

"Director Jiang, if you have something to ask, why don't you just ask someone to run over? Why did you come here in person?"

After Wang Mingjie served the tea and left the house, Zhou Fengnian politely said to Jiang Fusheng. He hadn't seen Director Jiang for a while since he went to his house to apologize last time; he came to his house suddenly today, probably because he had something to tell him.

Jiang Fusheng smiled and said, "There is indeed something I want to tell you, Commissioner Zhou. It is still related to the last incident with Yu Ze. He was indeed corrupted by bad elements and deliberately targeted you.

After he confessed, it took us some time to identify the person behind the scenes, and we recently arrested them in Shanghai and brought them back for interrogation."

"What these people have in common is that they studied abroad and agree with Western views. They are indeed being instigated by foreign forces. They say that you, Commissioner Zhou, are a stumbling block that prevents them from purchasing technology, and they hope to weaken your influence."

Jiang Fusheng told some information related to the case, which could be told to Zhou Fengnian, after all, he was a relevant person and had a very high position.

"It's just that there is no clear evidence. Those foreigners are as slippery as loaches, and when we went there, they had already left the country.
We can only bring them back for trial, but the lightest sentence would probably be half a year, and there are more than ten people involved."

They have reported all this to their superiors, and after learning about this, even the leaders demanded a heavier sentence.

Corrupting their cadres and letting them deal with their most important scientists shows their determination to destroy them.

Zhou Fengnian sighed and said, "The leaders have also told me about these things. The only things they can do are to ruin my reputation or directly eliminate me. The former is unlikely, but what about the latter?"

He knew it earlier than Jiang Fusheng said, and his leader told him that he was not worried that he would be corrupted.

The leaders knew how much money Zhou Fengnian's family had, but the newspaper only reported that each household in Hongjia Village received a minimum of 90,000 yuan, but did not report the maximum amount.

Zhou Fugui received 970,000 yuan, another family received more than 300,000 yuan, and Hong Changshou's family received more than 200,000 yuan.

These are all reasonable and legal collective dividends, and others can only be jealous.

In addition to Zhou Fengnian's various legal income from royalties, how could Zhou Fengnian, who has a family fortune of millions, be corrupted and bought? Zhou Fengnian usually has no other hobbies except eating.

The only thing we need to worry about is the assassination threat from foreign forces.

"Don't worry, Commissioner Zhou, we won't let this happen in Sijiu City."

Before Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, Jiang Fusheng said, "Recently, we are also planning to check the residents' household registration one by one to check all the dangerous factors."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Jiang."

Jiang Fusheng then reminded him about safety issues, and now Zhou Fengnian’s safety level has risen to another level.

When he and his security guards encounter problems, they can ask for help from any unit with police officers, and the unit will immediately report reinforcements.

They also added police force in Sanshui Commune and townships to ensure that Zhou Fengnian could contact them if he encountered any accidents on his way home.

The number of security guards when traveling was also increased from one to two. Even when Zhou Fengnian returned home, the security guard would live with him in Hongjia Village.

Zhou Fengnian had anticipated what would happen today. Being set as a benchmark, he would have to bear the consequences of this reputation.

When China talks to the outside world, it always needs some confidence. This confidence can be brought by military or technological development. As long as China has several world-leading achievements, foreigners will not dare to look down on them.

For example, when the world's network was connected, it was because of the strength of Zhou Fengnian and Shenzhou Computer that Amei had to consider China when the first Internet was established.

Otherwise, Amei would definitely not want China to join in. The Internet is almost the third development opportunity. If they didn't have to, how could they bring China in?

And it is precisely because of computers that China now has frequent foreign trade imports and exports with the world, and the country is also considering applying to resume its status as a contracting party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade next year.

It was three years earlier than Zhou Fengnian remembered, and it would probably be very smooth; after all, China's total export value is now too huge, with exports totaling nearly 40 billion US dollars last year.

It is estimated that there will be even more next year. The Shenzhou Computer Factory alone is likely to exceed one billion.

After Jiang Fusheng and Zhou Fengnian talked about their plans for a while, they said goodbye and left; there were a lot of things to do at the end of the year, and he had to go back to deal with them.

Although the Yu Ze incident caused the Sijiucheng Public Security Bureau to be criticized many times, fortunately the "comprador elements" behind them were caught, which can be regarded as making up for the mistake.

------

"Dad, I think we should have gone back last year and the year before. It's boring to celebrate the New Year in the city. It's more fun to go to the countryside."

On the way back in the car, Zhou Xianyang kept talking all the way. In this respect, he was different from Zhou Fengnian.

Zhou Fengnian is afraid of trouble and feels that being famous is a burden. If people keep visiting him for this reason, he will feel uncomfortable.

But Zhou Xianyang wanted to be famous since he was a child, especially to surpass his father in fame. This has been his dream since junior high school.

Zhou Fengnian said casually: "If you are willing to come back, go back more often to accompany your grandparents."

“I don’t have time.”

After Zhou Xianyang finished speaking and saw that Zhou Fengnian did not respond, he turned to introduce Bai Qingan to the interesting places in Hongjia Village, intending to take Bai Qingan around after returning.

Now the Zhou family has become prosperous. Previously, there were only nine people in the family, so there is always enough room for them.

Later, there were more and more family members, especially the third generation of the Zhou family, from the eldest Zhou Xianzhe to the youngest Song Jingyao, a total of ten people.

If Zhou Fugui had not applied for a piece of land from the village to build a house, and if he had not leveled his private plot to build a house,

A few more houses were built. It would be impossible for Zhou Fengnian and his three brothers and their two brothers-in-law to live together. Now, there are a total of twenty-two people in the Zhou family.

Even now when they were riding in the car back, Zhou Fengnian felt so oppressed that he didn't want to talk. He and Zhou Yan each carried a daughter back, otherwise there would not be enough space in the car.

Driving near Hongjia Village, Zhou Fengnian got out of the car and slowly exhaled. Just as he was about to say something to the driver, he saw a man at the entrance of the village. After seeing him, he shouted and ran towards the village.

"Zhou Fengnian is back!"

"Leader Zhou is back! Party secretary, village chief, Leader Zhou is back!"

He disappeared in a few seconds, and Zhou Fengnian didn't even have time to say anything to stop him.

Zhou Xianyang came closer and said with a smile: "Dad, it seems that you have to act like a leader today and speak in the village until the evening, and then the villagers will let you go back."

"Don't make trouble, or I'll go back and deal with you."

Zhou Fengnian glared at his son and then asked Zhao Qiang, "How did you arrange it?"

Security guard Zhao Qiang said, "Leader, don't worry. Li Xian has already communicated with the village committee. We will live in the village collective house these days. If there is anything, just call us."

Although they don't have a break during the Chinese New Year, they have more time to take a break after the New Year; there's nothing they can do about it, this is arranged by their superiors, and they can't let their guard down even during the Chinese New Year.

The group of "comprador elements" who wanted to deal with Zhou Fengnian have not been arrested yet, who knows what other plans they have.

If the enemy really gets desperate, having two security guards can ensure a good harvest next week.
