Chapter 453 Wife, Please Sit Down.

For a moment, several researchers who had planned to go to dinner all stood there in a daze. They looked at He Yuzhu, their mouths opened, but they didn't know where to start.

"Chief He, this..."

After seeing everyone's reaction, He Yuzhu finally came to his senses. The technical difficulty of building a tank is very high for the Rabbit Country in this era. It can even be said that the current military industrial strength of the Rabbit Country is simply unable to build a military tank that is completely produced and developed by the country. It is more likely to accept help from the Bear Country or the industrial assistance left behind to be able to build tanks.

Therefore, it is normal for everyone to react so strongly to what he just said.

So, He Yuzhu smiled and said: "This is just a preliminary idea. Whether it can be perfected depends on the future. The main thing is that the tone was set when our fourteenth department was first established. We are responsible for the military industry. Exploring heavy industry. So I thought, since we are going this route, building tanks is a topic we cannot avoid. No matter how difficult it is, we must always try it.”

He Yuzhu's words also gave everyone a mental preparation. With the current domestic technology, including the technical reserves of the 304 Research Institute, it will undoubtedly take a huge effort to complete the tank research that He Yuzhu has in mind. This is more difficult than breaking through seamless steel pipes. In this regard, He Yuzhu's efficiency would be very low if he worked alone. He needed to mobilize the resources of the entire department and even the institute to better complete his research.

After a brief period of shock, everyone who calmed down a little was convinced that Section Chief He was really planning to research domestically produced tanks. A trace of timidity flashed through their hearts, and the first reaction of several researchers was still a little unconfident. With their technology, can they really build their own tanks?

However, after seeing He Yuzhu's contagious smile, everyone felt as if they had been given a shot of sedative, and they suddenly felt like rushing forward.

This is naturally because their 14th Department, under the leadership of Section Chief He, has just conquered the 100mm seamless steel pipe technology that cannot be achieved abroad. On the other hand, it is also because He Yuzhu has accumulated it in the 14th Department. prestige.

Although the tank thing sounds very difficult to achieve, when it comes from Section Chief He's mouth, it seems that there is hope all of a sudden.

"Chief He, don't worry, all of us in the 14th Department will listen to your arrangements! Whatever we need to do and where to do it, you only need to say a word, we are not afraid of hardship!"

He Yuzhu listened and smiled again: "Don't think about suffering now. Let's eat first. Take your time and don't be in a hurry."

He stepped forward and patted a few people on the shoulders, without any pretense, and went to the canteen to eat with everyone.

…

After dinner, a piece of news spread in the 304 Research Institute.

The 14th Department will next study domestic military tanks.

He Yuzhu did not deliberately keep the researchers in the department secret about this news, so everyone was discussing it, and soon it caused a lot of heated discussion in the whole hospital.

After all, the researchers in the institute all start as level nine engineers at the lowest level. They may not be able to build a tank, but they are quite clear about the technical difficulties involved in a tank.

Under the current circumstances, it is too difficult to produce domestically produced military tanks.

But taking into account Chief He of the 14th Department and the successful breakthrough of seamless steel pipes, everyone actually discussed the final feasibility of this news. Even, because of He Yuzhu's good reputation within the institute, even though this project has not officially started, many researchers have already determined that He Yuzhu is fully expected to lead the 14th Department to complete the research on tanks!

At the same time, at the senior researcher's small meeting in the evening, Chen Xingye and others were also asked about the situation of the tanks that was reported in the institute today. After learning that He Yuzhu did have this idea and drafted some sketches, everyone took a look at He Yuzhu's sketches with great interest.

After roughly reading it, Chen Xingye and others could only lament again that Zhu Zhu was born with such talent.

At present, there is almost no domestic military industry information on tank parts, manufacturing, and design ideas. This is also due to foreign blocking technology. Although the framework of the sketches He Yuzhu took out is still very immature, and some data, designs, etc. are very vague and general, Chen Xingye and others are senior engineers, and they can tell at a glance that Zhu Zhu This sketch is not a doodle, it is quite researchable and forward-looking.

They even saw the pillars on these drawings, designing some things that tanks of this era did not have. All these factors made Chen Xingye and the others attach greater importance to Zhu Zhu in their hearts.

"Zhuzi, actually I wanted to advise you today. The research tone set for the establishment of the 14th Department was indeed towards military and heavy industry, but building tanks may be a step too far. But after reading these sketches of yours, from my personal perspective, I absolutely support your in-depth research.”

When Chen Xingye said this, he looked at the sketches in his hand, flashing with excitement.

"However, you also know the situation in our country. If it is a small project, the institute can directly mobilize resources, but your self-developed tank project is of great importance. It is not only a problem of resource consumption, but also of strategic significance. If you are sure, I need to report to the Ministry of Military Industry and discuss it with the leaders. At that time, I can also strive for good welfare benefits to support our institute to carry out this research."

Chen Xingye's words are very real.

Research requires resources. For general projects, Chen Xingye, the director, can directly approve them. But what He Yuzhu is going to do next involves a behemoth. Whether it is in terms of resources or nature, it is not something that Chen Xingye can decide alone.

However, he undoubtedly supports Zhuzi in doing this.

At this time, the other senior researchers also have this idea. The sketch that Zhuzi took out is enough to show that Zhuzi's desire to study tanks is not a whim. There is enough technical and theoretical support on it. If it is really studied, there may be some breakthroughs.

Feeling everyone's gaze, He Yuzhu thought for a moment and nodded: "Our 14th Department is indeed considering this for the next project, but this time it may take a little longer. After all, there is no precedent for all aspects of technology in China, which means we have to start from scratch."

If you want to truly achieve self-production and self-research, and not be blocked by foreign technology, then some existing domestic technologies can only be used as references, and a complete tank production material must be built from scratch. This will take at least years. Even He Yuzhu, who has a panel, is expected to spend at least half a year or even a year on the research of this tank.

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Chen Xingye and others nodded in unison: "No problem, Zhuzi, since you have made up your mind, I will represent our institute and wish you success in your research!"

The time issue in Zhuzi's words is not a problem. After all, the difficulty of self-developed tanks lies in technology. Research takes time? What research does not take time? In many fields, time is spent, but nothing is gained, not to mention the tank that Zhuzi intends to study. Once the pillar is successful, it will be more significant than a 100-caliber seamless steel pipe. After all, the former is equivalent to soft power, and still needs industrial processing and development to slowly transform into an advantage. And the latter... that is a torrent of steel!

Anti-tank weapons are not mature in this era, and the ability to have such self-developed heavy weapons cannot be quantified by data for the improvement of Rabbit Country's international strength and reputation.

...

After the meeting, the senior leaders of the institute headed by Chen Xingye and others all recorded the fact that the 14th Department was about to study domestic tanks. In these few days, Chen Xingye will also go to the Ministry of Military Industry in person to discuss the schedule of this project with the above.

Of course, even if everything goes well, the tank project will not start until after the Spring Festival. After all, it is already January, and there are only a few days left before the Spring Festival.

It was already evening when He Yuzhu came out of the institute, and he rode his bicycle back home.

Xie Yingqi had already gotten off work, and Yu Shui was now in junior high school, so he didn't need anyone to pick him up after school, and he could go home by himself.

When He Yuzhu got home, it was almost eight o'clock.

He Yushui had finished her homework at home and was practicing some martial arts that He Yuzhu had taught her before in the yard. The little girl started practicing martial arts just because her brother was practicing, and she thought that practicing this could protect her brother. Later, when she was a little older, she could clearly feel the changes that martial arts brought to her. Whether it was her size, height or physical fitness, He Yushui was the best in her class and even in the whole school. Among them, there was the good food that the He family usually had, and on the other hand, it was naturally because of the changes brought about by practicing martial arts. So now He Yushui will consciously learn from her brother's previous behavior every night and practice for a while.

When He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle into the yard, He Yushui was the first to discover it.

"Sister-in-law, my brother is back." After feeling that He Yuzhu was back, He Yushui stopped moving, went to the house and told Xie Yingqi with a smile.

Xie Yingqi put the baby who had eaten dinner and went to bed early on the bed, and came to the yard with He Yushui.

"You're back. The food is cold. I'll go heat it up for you."

"I'll help too."

When Xie Yingqi saw Zhuzi, she came forward, took the bicycle and helped park it, still thinking about Zhuzi's dinner.

He Yuzhu saw this and grinned: "Wife, Yushui, I'll take you to buy New Year's goods when I have a break next time. This year, there is one more person in our family. During the New Year, we will continue to invite everyone to our yard and have a good gathering as usual."

In recent years, every Spring Festival, He Yuzhu would invite his family and friends to gather in their yard. There is a New Year's atmosphere only when there are many people. It is at this time that He Yuzhu can feel what kind of special feeling the New Year has for the people of Rabbit Country. After all, in the era when he traveled through time, the New Year's atmosphere had changed, and the new generation of children could not feel this prosperous New Year's atmosphere at all.

……

End of January, 1956.

"Chief He, your salary is 207.5 yuan in total."

Today is the day for the institute to issue the salary in advance before the Spring Festival so that everyone can have a prosperous new year.

He Yuzhu's salary is based on the level of section chief, plus the position subsidy and the performance bonus from the 14th section, so the cash alone is 207.5. As for meat coupons, grain coupons, sugar coupons, etc., these have been issued in advance in the institute.

When hearing this salary amount, the people who lined up to receive their salaries inevitably had some envy in their eyes. After all, Section Chief He is only in his twenties this year, right? A monthly salary of more than 200 yuan, even the factory director cannot get such a high salary in some local factories.

Of course, everyone is just envious, but no one thinks that He Yuzhu's treatment is inappropriate. After all, Section Chief He is impeccable in terms of academic qualifications, skills, or grades. After receiving his salary, He Yuzhu also smiled and greeted his colleagues in the institute, wishing everyone a happy new year, and then rode his bicycle to the door.

At this time, Xie Yingqi was waiting at the door of the institute. This was because she had agreed with Zhuzi to go shopping for New Year's goods together today. Xie Yingqi changed into a plain coat. Just by looking at the fabric, you can tell that the price is not cheap. The design is also quite exquisite. The key is Xie Yingqi's beauty. While waiting for He Yuzhu at the door, many male employees in the institute came and went to look at this place.

"Hey, where is that girl from? Why haven't I seen her before?"

"She looks so pretty. Could she be a new female employee in our institute?"

"Look at her like this, she's not waiting for someone?"

"How is it possible? This..."

While everyone was discussing, He Yuzhu had already arrived at the door on his bicycle. Xie Yingqi saw it and immediately walked over with a smile, sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and hugged He Yuzhu's waist.

"Wife, sit down."

When He Yuzhu arrived at the door, he saw the young employees whispering to each other. How could he not understand what they were thinking? He said so deliberately, and then rode his bicycle out of the institute.
