Chapter 457 Jia Dongxu Passes Away

As Section Chief He spoke, the researchers present were also a little curious.

And He Yuzhu did not keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

"It's like this. In the past six months, our 14th Department has made a lot of progress in the technology of self-developed tanks, including the shell frame we built through cooperation with the steel mill..."

He Yuzhu first summarized some of the achievements made by Section 14 during this period, and then changed the subject, "But as we study more and more deeply, have you found that when our department conquers some technologies, it takes longer and longer, and various drawings, data, etc. are becoming more and more complicated. The huge workload has seriously slowed down our research progress."

After hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned, but they didn't quite understand what Section Chief He meant.

The problems that Section Chief He just mentioned that Section 14 encountered in the research were naturally clear to everyone, but He Yuzhu was different. These researchers have always been in this environment since they studied and later entered the institute to work. Therefore, even if the usual work calculations are cumbersome, or the workload is complex and repetitive, it is also a common thing for them.

It's nothing more than more calculations.

"Section Chief He, what you mean is..."

"I want to say that since we want to develop our own technology, such as heavy weapons like tanks, we must improve our research methods. In this way, we can not only be more efficient, but also improve our research success rate. So, I am thinking of adding another project in our department, which is the research on computers."

When this was said, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Computers are not popular in China at all.

In fact, many researchers have hardly seen this thing.

I just heard others say that foreign technology is very advanced, and they can use computers to assist in their research, which is much more efficient than people.

But there is no condition to study computers in China, because there are few people who understand this technology, and foreign countries are now blocking this kind of high-end technology. So, even though He Yuzhu just mentioned that we should improve the research conditions, everyone didn't think about it at all.

"Chief He, this computer is a foreign product. Can we research it?"

"Chief He, it's not that I don't have confidence. The main thing is that we have never touched a computer before. Let alone research, I may not be able to use a computer if I am given one now."

After a brief shock, everyone expressed their thoughts.

They are not singing their own praises. They are mainly based on the actual situation and seek truth from facts.

He Yuzhu was not angry about this. He certainly knew that there was nothing wrong with what everyone said.

But, if it were someone else, it might not be possible to overcome this technology. But for He Yuzhu, computers are really familiar.

As for the computer technologies that are blocked abroad now, in He Yuzhu's view, they are completely child's play. After all, he has learned the basic subjects quite well, and the so-called computer, involving chips, codes, etc., he has the experience of traveling through time. Even if he can't make a supercomputer like the future in a short time, it is not difficult to research and manufacture a computer suitable for this era, or even beyond this era.

After all, the so-called technical suppression is nothing more than information asymmetry. He Yuzhu has the advanced experience of the great powers in the future in his mind. As long as he has a solid enough basic theory and technology, theoretically, even if he rubs the mushroom cloud with his hands, it will be no problem.

Of course, this is only in theory. In fact, any research is not accomplished overnight. Even He Yuzhu, a big variable, can only play a role in promoting it. As for what it will eventually develop into, it still requires the concerted efforts of comrades.

"Everyone, I have already thought of the solution strategy for what you said. In the next period of time, I will select some comrades from our fourteenth department. We will carry out computer technology breakthroughs and strive to make our own first day computer as soon as possible. At that time, it will also be a major help for our tank research."

Although everyone was unsure about this kind of thing, the person who said this was Section Chief He. With Section Chief He speaking, everyone can have an inexplicable confidence in their hearts.

Soon, under the transfer of He Yuzhu, ten comrades from the fourteenth department began to study computers simultaneously.

…

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is 1957.

June, evening.

Siheyuan No. 90 Nanluoguxiang.

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle with one hand, and held He Sixing, who was just over one year old, with the other hand. Xie Yingqi was carrying some vegetables and white flour beside him.

Today, He Yuzhu had a rare rest, so the three of them went back to the yard to see He Daqing and his wife. Of course, He Yuzhu also had something more important to talk to He Daqing about.

When the three of them arrived at the yard, they saw that there was no one in the front yard at this time.

This made He Yuzhu and Xie Yingqi look at each other.

This shouldn't be the case.

You know, it's time to get off work now, and there are so many households in the front yard, it's impossible that there is no one in the yard.

While thinking about it, He Yuzhu moved his ears and heard the noisy movement coming from the middle courtyard. At this time, even Xie Yingqi noticed the situation in the middle courtyard without He Yuzhu's reminder.

"Zhuzi, what's going on?"

In doubt, the two of them also walked quickly to the middle courtyard.

Entering the middle courtyard, they saw many familiar residents in the front yard, and there were also many residents in the back yard gathered here. Among them, the most conspicuous were Yi Zhonghai and his wife and... Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu's eyes were like torches, and he could see the situation in the middle courtyard in an instant. Jia Zhangshi was howling heartbreakingly at this time, and Qin Huairu's eyes were also red at this time, and they were a little swollen from crying. As for the two little guys Banggeng and Xiaodang, they probably didn't understand what happened at this time. They just looked at their grandmother and mother, who were different from usual, and their faces were pale with fear. They stood by blankly, but they didn't dare to say anything.

"Is Jia Dongxu dead?"

He Yuzhu's mind moved, and he guessed this in an instant.

At this time, there was a lot of noise in the middle courtyard, and it was obvious that many people came to comfort Jia Zhang.

"Old sister-in-law, please mourn, don't cry and hurt yourself."

"Alas, Dongxu... what a pity!"

"Huai Ru is about to give birth, right? Tell me, how did this happen?"

The scattered discussions of the crowd fell into He Yuzhu's ears, and He Yuzhu probably understood it.

It seems that Jia Dongxu died on duty, just like in the original drama. As for the specific reason, He Yuzhu estimated that it was because Jia Dongxu's body was always weak due to long-term malnutrition. Although the work of fitter is not heavy physical labor, it is still in the factory, dealing with various machines. When working, it is not impossible to have an accident if you are not careful.

But... this time Yi Zhonghai is afraid that he will lose all his money.

He Yuzhu's eyes fell on Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

On weekdays, the mature and steady uncle was indeed in despair.

With that look, if you don't know, you might think that his son died. Of course, if you have to say so, it is not wrong. After all, many fathers may not be willing to do so much for Yi Zhonghai's investment and care for the Jia family.

Originally, he planned to train a good apprentice to take care of them in their old age. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen?

At this time, Yi Zhonghai and his wife had no time to comfort Jia Zhang and the others.

At this time, in the middle courtyard, several familiar faces in the original drama gathered here.

The third uncle in the front yard and the second uncle in the back yard began to maintain order in the middle courtyard because the first uncle was not in a good state.

As for Xu Damao and his wife, they just pouted when they saw the miserable appearance of the Jia family.

Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu didn't have much hatred. After all, this kid had been at odds with Sha Zhu since he was a child. Jia Dongxu was usually a good person in the yard and would not make enemies everywhere. If he had to say something, it was just that his shrewish mother was a bit annoying, but now that Jia Dongxu was gone, naturally no one cared about it.

But Lou Xiao'e, after all, was a lady from a wealthy family, and her thoughts and emotions were still sensitive.

She also knew how Jia Dongxu usually behaved. After seeing that Jia Dongxu died so young, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry. At the same time, she also felt a little sympathetic for the situation of the Jia family.

After all, when Jia Dongxu was there, the Jia family didn't live a rich life. The whole family depended on Jia Dongxu's salary and ration. They didn't live in poverty, but at least they weren't rich.

Now that his wife is about to give birth and Jia Dongxu has been promoted, life is getting better and better. As a result, this kind of thing happened. If Lou Xiaoe were to be on her head, she would not know how much more devastated she would be.

"Old Yi, his uncle..."

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong greeted each other, but the last word must be spoken by the uncle.

After all, with the identity of the uncle and his usual relationship with the Jia family, it is reasonable for him to say this.

After being called over by the two, Yi Zhonghai finally came back to his senses.

He took a look at the surrounding situation, especially Jia Zhang's mourning look, but his face was always gloomy.

At this time, He Yuzhu and Xie Yingqi's family of three had already returned to the house and put the things they brought into the house. Then they stood at the door and looked at the situation in front of them with He Daqing and his wife.

"Dongxu's mother..."

Finally, Yi Zhonghai obviously adjusted his mood. Even if this matter was unacceptable, he still had to live a normal life now.

He called out to Jia Zhangshi.

It didn't matter if he didn't call out, but when he called out, Jia Zhangshi seemed to have an outlet to vent.

"Uncle, Master Dongxu! My son died so pitifully! He was less than 25 years old this year! He was already a third-level fitter, but he died in such an unclear way. My son died unjustly! Master Dongxu, you have to make a decision for my son!"

After hearing Jia Zhangshi's series of words, Yi Zhonghai's face was a little embarrassed.

If someone didn't know what Jia Zhangshi said, they would think that there was something fishy about Jia Dongxu's death.

But Yi Zhonghai understood what Jia Zhangshi meant. This was because the person was dead and she wanted to get more benefits.

If she didn't say so, Jia Dongxu would be dead, and the factory didn't know what compensation would be given.

But if there was such a commotion, the factory would consider this situation to some extent. Even if it was the same compensation, it would definitely be more after the commotion.

Yi Zhonghai knew all these, but at this moment, his mind was not on this. The old man who had been nurturing and taking care of him died just like that, how could he recover so quickly?

"Dongxu's mother, don't be too excited. We must handle this matter well. Dongxu, this child, I and Lao Yi treat him as our own child. It's not easy to accept this news."

Auntie was beside her and took the initiative to persuade Jia Zhangshi. At the same time, what she said seemed very humane.

The residents in the compound saw this scene and were also touched by the behavior of the uncle and his wife.

After all, everyone saw how Yi Zhonghai treated Jia Dongxu before. Now that Jia Dongxu is dead, what they say and what they do are still so heartwarming. This is the kindness of the uncle and his family.

The words of the aunt also gained a lot of goodwill at this time. Although Jia Zhangshi is usually a shrew, at this time, it is one thing to be sad about the death of her son, and it is another thing to want Yi Zhonghai and others to help and strive for training in the factory.

After some comfort, the mood of the Jia family finally eased.

At the same time, Jia Zhangshi also discussed with Yi Zhonghai that they must go to the factory together to talk about the pension for the death of Dongxu. With Yi Zhonghai, a senior worker, it is definitely better than Jia Zhangshi going there alone.

In addition, considering the special situation of the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai once again called on all residents in the courtyard to make a donation to the Jia family. Because of Jia Dongxu's death, the willingness of everyone in the courtyard to donate this time is quite strong, and the amount is more than the previous times that Yi Zhonghai deliberately arranged.

After all, whether help is needed or not, everyone has a scale in their hearts. Among them, Xu Damao donated three yuan directly, which is definitely a high amount in the compound. Of course, Xu Damao himself was definitely reluctant to donate so much, but Lou Xiaoe was kind-hearted and arranged for Xu Damao to donate this amount.

As for the old He family, He Yuzhu, as a representative, also donated two yuan.
