Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 574 Inviting Teacher Zhang to Lie on the Kang

After Chen Luyang finished speaking, he tugged at the rope again.

With a "click," the bolt automatically popped out and locked in place, the entire action completed in one smooth motion.

Every time Chen Luyang closed the door, Pierre and the other four would unlock it as if playing a game, tirelessly demonstrating the ingenious use of the automatic lock to everyone.

"Alright, Xiao Chen, that's enough. Get up now." Shen Fei couldn't stand it anymore.

When Chen Luyang first proposed this idea, no one wanted to embarrass themselves alongside him, and no one wanted to participate.

But no one knows how Chen Luyang managed to use sweet talk to get five international students to be his assistants.

Whether the product is good or not, let's not talk about that yet.

At least in terms of visual effects, it's absolutely top-notch!

Everyone else is sitting or standing, but this ancestor is lying down.

"What do you mean by 'that's enough'?!"

"I am the most crucial part of this automatic door closing device, so I have to lie down."

Chen Luyang rolled her eyes at Shen Fei.

For today's semi-final, he went to great lengths, borrowing folding beds from the student union's warehouse and asking foreign friends to help him gain influence and support.

Everything's set up!

How could it possibly end so easily!
Besides, the blankets in the dorm haven't been aired out since he came back from winter break.

This is a good opportunity to air out the blankets.

Why do you have to lie down?

The correspondent, unsure where to begin, asked in bewilderment.

Chen Luyang immediately exclaimed with delight, "This classmate has hit the nail on the head."

"The fundamental significance of this invention is to solve the problem of 'difficulty for students on the top bunk to get down, difficult to turn over, and even more difficult to get out of bed.' It's not for people who are standing, it's for people who are lying down!"

As he spoke, he slowly pulled the rope again.

"pat~"

The door closed automatically and locked with a click.

“If I operate it while standing, I would be going against the spirit of invention.”

"Only by lying down can you see the most realistic simulation of this scientific experiment."

Chen Luyang, shameless as ever, spoke with an air of utmost seriousness.

The correspondent held up his pen, wanting to take notes, but felt at a loss for words.

I'm using nice words, but the thought of this being a closed door makes it impossible to put them on paper!

It's tough being a child with glasses too.

It's not like cameras haven't taken bedroom photos before.

However, most of these bed photos are of people visiting someone who is hospitalized.

There really aren't any bed photos like this with perfectly healthy arms and legs.

He raised his camera, wanting to take some photos of Chen Luyang.

But no matter how he tried to find the right angle, Chen Luyang's pose was a bit... too seductive.

Instead of showcasing the vibrant and positive spirit of senior students in the new era, it added a touch of decadent and carefree indulgence.

I'm afraid that taking pictures of them will offend the camera's eyes!

But while he was conflicted, Chen Luyang was not happy about it.

"Take the picture! Why aren't you taking the picture yet?!"

From the moment the little bespectacled man raised the camera, Chen Luyang deliberately straightened his back, tilted his chin slightly upward, revealing a perfect and resolute jawline.

I stretched my neck for ages, almost until it cramped up, but the shutter still didn't light up.

Hearing Chen Luyang's urging, the bespectacled boy could only grit his teeth and snap two photos.

Out of a strong sense of responsibility for his job, the correspondent still asked:

"Chen Luyang, what was your idea and original intention for this design? Is there anything specific you could tell us?"

Chen Luyang said, "This device aims to save ten precious seconds in the lives of all students on the upper bunk, freeing their feet, freeing them from getting out of bed, and freeing them from all suffering!"

"Ten seconds may not seem like much, but if you multiply ten seconds by three times a day, that's over a thousand seconds a year, which is nearly sixty hours!"

"Sixty hours may not seem like much, but in our provincial capital's textile factory, sixty hours is enough to weave eight hundred towels, enough for a noodle factory to feed 20,000 people a full meal!"

"And what about us? Every day, we just slam the doors shut on our bunks, ending those sixty hours right at the moment the doors are closed!!"

"This is not just a personal loss for us, it's a loss of productivity! It's a loss for the nation!"

"And now, we're equipping our upper bunks with technology! Once we have this automatic door-closing marvel, we can collectively save sixty hours a year!"

Chen Luyang got more and more excited as she spoke!

Finally, Chen Luyang stood up and incited the crowd:

"Does anyone want to come up and try it out?"

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted, "Me! Me!"

Chen Luyang waved his hand dismissively: "Get into bed!"

The man took off his shoes, went upstairs, and as soon as he lay down, he couldn't help but let out a comfortable "Ah!"

Although this bed is a cot, it has springs underneath, making it much more comfortable to lie on than the hard, rigid dormitory bed.

Plus, Chen Luyang had been lying on me for half a day, and the blankets had been sun-dried for half a day, so they were nice and warm.

The boy couldn't help but yawn...

"Hey, hey, hey?" Chen Luyang immediately went up:

"Student, you're here to experience the inventions, not to sleep."

Who is this!
Why do I feel sleepy as soon as I lie down?
The man immediately said embarrassedly, "I haven't been sleeping much lately because I've been writing my thesis, and I'm a bit sleep-deprived. As soon as I lie down... well, seriously, this bed is really nice!"

Chen Luyang silently rolled her eyes, then placed the rope noose in his hand, pulling him back from his off-topic state.

The man tentatively pulled back!
With a "click," the door immediately moved as if pushed by an invisible hand, and then locked firmly with a "click"!
The boy instantly snapped out of his daze, blinked, and looked at him incredulously: "It works great! It really turned off by itself?"

Seeing the man's astonished expression, Chen Luyang opened the door triumphantly and let him try again.

The boy pulled the door again, but it closed again!
This piqued the curiosity of the surrounding students.

Every dorm room needs at least two students sitting near the door!
These people are Chen Luyang's target customers.

As the second and third students took turns, each student who lay down on the bed received high praise.

"Oh my god, it really went by itself!"

"This is even more effective than the old man in my dorm!"

……

As more and more people gathered around, Chen Luyang realized the time was right and her smile became even brighter.

He picked up the ballot box from the ground and began his shameless campaigning.

Although the final highlight is still the judges' scores, the students' votes also account for a large proportion!

If we can garner widespread support from our classmates, we might even be able to win an award to boost our popularity!

Perhaps it was because Chen Luyang's product display was too flamboyant, or perhaps it was because the five international friends beside her were simply too eye-catching. Almost as soon as Chen Luyang took out the box, quite a few people actually cast their votes of support inside.

"Thank you, thank you!!!"

"Thank you for your support, everyone!!!!"

Chen Luyang, her face beaming with joy, swept through the crowd like a gun, collecting tickets from left to right and then from right to left, carrying a box.

When the ballot box stopped in front of the boy with glasses and the messenger, Chen Luyang cast an expectant glance at them.

To be honest, these two are acquaintances.

They were the ones who interviewed me when I was a Young Pioneer. With that connection, why can't I ask for two tickets?
The man with glasses was taken aback for a moment, then said, "We are staff members, we don't have tickets."

Chen Luyang: Hmm?
"How come you two don't have tickets? Didn't they say students get tickets?!"

The correspondent quickly added, "We are students, but today we are participating as reporters from the school radio station and special correspondents for the school newspaper. We belong to the 'propaganda department,' not the 'masses department,' and are not within the voting scope."

Seeing Chen Luyang's suspicious look, the correspondent added, "We need to maintain a neutral stance, otherwise we might be accused of 'bias' when writing reports."

Chen Luyang's brows furrowed slightly.

Good guy...

How can a single report be lumped together as "biased reporting"?

However, what these two people said does make sense.

One is the radio station, and the other is the school newspaper. They use loudspeakers and mimeograph machines to reach the whole school every day. If they are accused of "biased propaganda," it's not something that can be resolved by writing a self-criticism.

Chen Luyang had no choice but to put away the ballot box, and said with a smile, "Then forget it. You're serving everyone, we can't force people to make mistakes."

The correspondent and the boy with glasses immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen Luyang, we're off to interview the next project. We wish you the best of luck!"

Waving to Chen Luyang, the two of them hurried off to the next display stand.

Having successfully collected a batch of votes, the students who had been watching had seen enough.

"Let's go check out that automatic bed ladder over there!"

"I heard there was smoke coming out of the chemistry department!"

"Let's go, let's go see what that thing is!"

……

As the main group moved away, a new wave of people gathered around.

Chen Luyang initially went from personally "demonstrating" on the bed to randomly selecting "lucky audience members" to take turns experiencing it on the bunk.
He then stood by the bed, demonstrating and explaining with both hands:
"Classmates, although my automatic door closing device is simple in its device, structure, and construction, it is of great significance, with advanced principles and mature technology!"

"Dormitory revolution starts now!"

"..."

Just as Chen Luyang was getting hoarse from talking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye!

In the middle of the playground, a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher was walking from one display stand to another, carrying a small bag, watching the excitement intently.

"Teacher Zhang!!!"

Chen Luyang burst out in a loud voice.

Before Teacher Zhang could react, a mountain-like shadow loomed over him.

Then, he felt someone grab his shoulder and push him to the bed like a chick.

"Teacher Zhang! You've come at the perfect time! Try out my amazing top bunk door-closing device!"

Before he could finish speaking, he grabbed Teacher Zhang's arm and quickly pushed her onto the bed.

"Hey hey hey hey hey!" Teacher Zhang's glasses were all askew.

"No... I just want to look!"

"Teacher, please don't be so polite with me!" A hint of hidden coldness and murderous intent flashed in Chen Luyang's eyes.

Okay... In the classroom, you're the boss.

Once we're out of the classroom, I'll show you who's in charge!

Thinking of all the torment that advanced mathematics had caused him over the years, Chen Luyang couldn't help but press Teacher Zhang onto the bed again with his guilty hands.

Poor Teacher Zhang, a southerner, wasn't very tall to begin with, and being middle-aged, he didn't exercise much, so he was no match for Chen Luyang, this hot-blooded and fierce young man from the Northeast.

"Come on, lie down, cover yourself with the blanket, and hold the rope..."

Chen Luyang put the rope around Teacher Zhang's wrist.

Suddenly, the small stall, which was originally just a place where students were watching, became the focus of the entire scene because of Teacher Zhang lying down.

Most of the students present had taken Professor Zhang's class. When they saw their teacher being tucked into a blanket, they were all as excited as if they were watching a lantern festival during the New Year, and they all stood on tiptoe to look inside.

Even the students at other booths joined in the excitement, turning towards Chen Luyang.

Although Teacher Zhang has given countless large lectures, this is the first time he has faced so many students while lying down.

“You…!”

Teacher Zhang's face turned bright red from being pressed down.

However, no matter how dissatisfied she was with Chen Luyang in class, since he had asked her to "participate in the experiment" in front of everyone,

As a teacher, he has to stand up for his students!
At that moment, Teacher Zhang swallowed her embarrassment and looked at the rope in her hand, asking, "How do I use this?"

Ok? !

Chen Luyang glanced at Teacher Zhang in surprise.

He originally just wanted to stir up trouble, but the teacher actually cooperated!
Chen Luyang immediately dropped his nonchalant attitude and said seriously, "Teacher, hold the rope and stay relaxed. Just pull back gently."

Teacher Zhang gripped the rope suspiciously: "Just pull it back? Didn't you lock the whole dorm room inside last time?"

The smile on Chen Luyang's face vanished instantly.

wipe……!
How could this person openly undermine me?!

Chen Luyang quickly explained, "Teacher, that was a small mistake last time. I've improved it this time, it will definitely work!"

Teacher Zhang glanced at Chen Luyang and suddenly blurted out, "If this doesn't work, you can't blame it on me, can you?!"

day……!
Do people who study science always have their brains working non-stop?

You've already included the second and third steps before even taking the first step?!
Although Chen Luyang admitted that he did indeed have such thoughts, he still patted his chest on the spot:
"Don't worry, teacher! I absolutely won't bring anything bad. If it does, it's my responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhang gave a soft "hmm" and then raised her hand to pull him away!
With a crisp "click," Teacher Zhang was startled: "It really turned off?!"

"Isn't that a must!" Chen Luyang raised her eyebrows again.

"This is what they call technology changing destiny! Dormitories are moving towards modernization!"

With Teacher Zhang present, Chen Luyang held up the ballot box and raised her voice eight octaves as she began a new round of campaigning.

"Students, the tide of reform and opening up is advancing, and the spring of science has arrived!"

"We young students should conserve resources for the country and also conserve our own energy!"

As Chen Luyang's ramblings grew increasingly absurd, sounding more and more like a mobilization meeting, Teacher Zhang, having completed her task, tried to get out of bed, but Chen Luyang pressed her back down with a simple, "Teacher, please don't move."

Having finally found a teacher to be a model, Chen Luyang wasn't about to let her go so easily!
While Teacher Zhang was still lying in bed, Chen Luyang seized the opportunity to wave the ballot box, her voice booming like a megaphone:
"Students! Technology can't just be talked about; it needs to be implemented, popularized, and promoted!"

"Today, you are not just casting your votes, but the next sixty hours of the nation's future, eight hundred towels for the textile factory, and a full meal for twenty thousand people at the noodle factory!"

Teacher Zhang: ? ? ?
What does this have to do with anything?!
