Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 130: The March toward Modern Science

Since deciding to join the CNC machine tool development team, Yang Ning has started running back and forth every day.

If he finished his work early for the day, he would go to the school's CNC machine tool laboratory to deal with design problems encountered that day.

If there is too much work to do and I get off work late, I will go to Professor Dong's house. The Dean and Professor Dong will summarize the problems encountered by each project team that day and bring them back directly. Together with Professor Xia and several others who live nearby, we will get together for a discussion.

The reason why everyone is so motivated is that they have already received a notice that at the upcoming annual scientific conference, the higher-ups will formally determine the status of these scientific researchers.

And these intellectuals also want to offer a gift for the New Year.

Although Hu Yinghong didn't say anything about Yang Ning's frequent getting up early and going to bed late recently, it can be seen from the fact that she often checks on Yang Ning every now and then that she is still very worried about Yang Ning's health.

Whenever the research team completes a part, they will immediately send it to the First Machinery Factory, which will be responsible for processing and production.

When we designed it previously, we took into consideration that we had no experience for the first time, and in order to avoid waste, we planned to let the First Machinery Factory produce it only after we were sure that there were no problems.

Now with Yang Ning checking the data at any time, and ensuring that the design data is correct, they also began careful trial production. As a result, our CNC field has finally taken its first faltering step.

"Yang Ning, good news! The higher-ups have decided to hold a scientific conference to formally establish the status of our intellectuals."

On this day, Yang Ning had just arrived at work and had not sat down for long when Dean Guo walked in hurriedly, his voice coming before he arrived.

"President Guo, wasn't this matter already reported in the newspaper? What's so surprising about this?"

Yang Ning looked at Dean Guo who was pouring himself a cup of tea and said helplessly.

Ever since what happened when the cyclotron design was completed not long ago, Yang Ning knew that this day would come.

Yang Ning was of course happy that the status of intellectuals could be established. So many people were willing to give up the favorable environment abroad and return to China without hesitation to participate in the construction. The higher authorities would definitely solve their worries.

So he was not surprised at all.

"This time it's different. This time it was confirmed in the form of a meeting. From now on, no one can use the composition of scientific researchers to make a fuss."

As the direct leader of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, President Guo was naturally very excited that the identity issues of these scientific researchers could be completely resolved.

After thinking for a long time, I suddenly realized that Yang Ning did not seem to be invited to this meeting, so I came over to comfort him so that he would not have any bad thoughts in his mind.

Dean Guo looked at Yang Ning, who didn't even raise his head, and asked in confusion: "Shouldn't you be happy for a moment?"

"Of course I'm happy, but what does this have to do with me?"

Yang Ning looked up and rolled his eyes at Dean Guo, then continued to work on the documents in his hands.

"I am originally a member of the working class. Before liberation, my father was a worker and my mother was a servant. I have never been abroad. Do I need to confirm my status?"

"Oh!" After hearing Yang Ning's words, Dean Guo realized that Yang Ning was indeed different from other scientific researchers in that he came from a scholarly family.

He is a purely talented player. With his ability, he can succeed no matter what his background is. And he happens to come from a low-income family, so he doesn't have to worry about these problems at all.

He thought that the higher-ups didn't invite him to the meeting because they were worried that he was too young and didn't want Yang Ning to be exposed in public. It turned out that they didn't have any problem in this regard at all.

He was worried that this guy was upset and wanted to come over to comfort him, but it turns out that the clown is me?

This conference is of great significance to our scientific community. It not only solves the problem of the status of intellectuals, but also allows them to devote themselves to construction.

At the same time, it also gave a shot in the arm to many foreign intellectuals who were still hesitating, and soon there would be another wave of returning to China.

The most famous among them are Mr. Guo, a junior fellow of Mr. Qian, and Ms. Lin, a semiconductor expert. Of course, there are also many scientific researchers who have kept their identities secret for the sake of construction, and they all set out on their return journey after this conference.

Although this matter has little to do with me, it is of extraordinary significance to the subsequent technological construction.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Yang Ning picked up the information sent by Zhao Yang and was about to deal with it, but Yang Fengyu pushed the door open.

"Yang Ning, come with me now, it's urgent."

"it is good!"

Yang Ning didn't ask anything. He just put down the information in his hand and followed Yang Fengyu downstairs.

When I got downstairs, what was waiting for me was not the bus from the Data Processing Institute, but a green military jeep.

There was a soldier standing next to the car at this time. After seeing Yang Fengyu and Yang Ning, the soldier immediately saluted and ran over to open the car door.

After the two got in the car, it started immediately.

"Uncle Yang, can we talk about what's going on now?"

Sitting in the car, Yang Ning watched the car drive towards the suburbs, and asked Yang Fengyu in confusion as he looked at the silent Yang Fengyu.

"You know that the troops are about to change their uniforms, right?"

Yang Fengyu sat up, looked at Yang Ning and asked back.

"I've heard of it, but what does it have to do with me?" Yang Ning became even more confused after hearing Yang Fengyu's words.

It is no secret that the troops will be equipped with Type 56 rifles this year to unify our light weapons.

After all, whether it is the 56 semi-56 assault rifle or the 56 squad light machine gun, they are all modeled after the Big Brother.

In later generations, Pakistan can make it by hand, so there is no need to bother with data processing.

The Type 56 is a classic of our light weapons and has served in the army for a long time.

It accompanied our army through the border defense war and the self-defense counterattack war.

In later generations, after the military training at Yangning School was over, the seniors who served as instructors still used the 56-and-a-half rifle for the final inspection.

This was also the only gun Yang Ning had seen in his previous life, although there was no bullet in the gun at the time and he had only seen it from a distance.

"It's because you didn't participate that the higher-ups are worried, so they asked you to be a tester to see if there are any other problems."

"Is that so? Then can we practice target practice with live ammunition?" Hearing this, Yang Ningke was no longer sleepy.

Which boy can resist the temptation of shooting?
Although Yang Ning himself was equipped with a gun, he never had the opportunity to use it. Besides, how could a small pistol compare to a long gun? What's more, it was the famous Type 56 gun family!
