Chapter 345 It turns out that the Spring Festival travel rush existed as early as the 60s.
Alright, everything's ready, let's get started!
The secret workshop was filled with master craftsmen, all for the sake of this centrifuge, which was spearheaded by the First Ministry of Machine Building, supported by the Second Ministry of Machine Building, and specially issued by the Logistics Department.
The master craftsmen still formed teams according to their own expertise, polishing the parts before Jiangxia inspected them. That's right, assembly was handled by Tie Jun and his team, and Tie Jun and Sister Wei Hong started memorizing the confidentiality regulations yesterday.
The assessment will be conducted after the New Year. With this achievement as a foundation, the steel rolling mill may produce several more Level 9 engineers.
"Hey, I was just thinking of taking good care of my family, but this kid keeps pulling me forward!"
Ma Weihong held a micrometer, measuring the workpiece while carefully recording the measurements. Even during breaks, she didn't rest, holding a handwritten copy of the confidentiality regulations, reading it and gesturing as she went.
"Hey, ma'am, how about we switch places? My family really put a matchmaker on my mind for the New Year..."
Sun Weidong, one of the four key figures in the technical department of the steel rolling mill, had a bitter face as he held a coordination letter, looking like he wanted to eat it.
Ma Weihong rolled her eyes at him: "Get lost. You don't cherish the opportunity to go out? When you come back, this achievement will be worth at least three months of seniority. Blind dates? Once you become an engineer like Xiao Jiang, those matchmakers will be lining up at your door!"
Tie Jun also gave Sun Weidong a tap on the head: "You started working late, and only by including this trip to assist in the assessment could you accumulate enough seniority. This was something our master and Xiao Jiang worked very hard to get for you. Don't let us down when you go out!"
"Definitely not! It's just that going out during the Chinese New Year is a bit awkward..." Sun Weidong scratched his head and answered with a smile.
"By the way, with the Spring Festival travel rush, you need to hurry up and get a letter of introduction to buy tickets. Train tickets are hard to buy these days, especially for the Northwest! A coordination letter is different from others; it has a reporting deadline!" Ma Zhendong, the master of the Four Vajras, walked into the small rest room carrying a tea canister and pointed at Sun Weidong.
Jiang Xia followed behind Ma Zhendong with a grin, then paused, surprised by what he heard: "Uncle Ma, is there already a Spring Festival travel rush? Or is it still relying on the railway company to transport people?"
"Hey! Brother, you don't understand!" Tie Jun patted his butt and stood up, casually pulling a pack of cigarettes from Jiang Xia's pocket.
"Hey, what kind of high-end stuff is this?" Tie Jun opened the box, took out a few sticks, and distributed them to Jiang Xia.
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly. What's going on with this Spring Festival travel rush?" Jiang Xia didn't take the brotherly rummaging around to heart.
After all, when he was in school in his later years, he had a bunch of adopted sons. Especially when those guys were forming gangs, Jiang Xia, who helped them pack their dinners, was treated like royalty.
Compared to those shameless adopted sons, Tie Jun is considered an honest kid.
"Hehe, what else could it be? They're going home for the New Year. There are quite a few cadres from other places in Beijing, and with their families, there are quite a few of them! And don't forget, when we were 'supporting the cities,' we recruited quite a few people from other places to come to Beijing!"
As he spoke, Tie Jun lit a cigarette and held up three fingers to Jiang Xia: "300 million! In the past ten years, Beijing has added 300 million people. How could that not be a lot!"
Ma Weihong added, "That's absolutely right. Don't forget that many people come to Beijing with their families because they can't find work elsewhere..."
Well, Jiang Xia recalled the Spring Festival travel rush of later generations and finally understood why Wang Dadan from the Ministry of Railways was in such a predicament.
He had just asked Wang Dadan to allocate a few more trains for the cold storage renovation. Wang Dadan hesitated for a long time before agreeing to allocate six train cars. Jiang Xia secretly cursed him for being stingy.
Looking at it this way, it's not stinginess at all, it's giving them too much face!
But they couldn't leave it as is. Comrade Jin Guang heard that the little brat wanted to improve his meals, so under the guise of testing the sea creatures, he really blew up some giant beasts.
It was fun frying them, but when they dragged them back, they realized there was nowhere to put them. The entire fleet of about ten thousand people was getting sick of eating them.
The landing craft we captured earlier was originally intended to be converted into a seaplane launch platform, but now, before the launch pads are even installed, it's become a giant drying ground for trash. There's no way around it; the navy is a small operation, and doesn't have enough space to store those big machines…
The only cold storage facility within a hundred miles was small and couldn't hold all those enormous creatures.
Some high-ranking officials wanted to visit the naval base before the New Year to offer their condolences, but none of them were able to get within five miles of the base...
Comrade Jin Guang was calling Jiangxia this morning, telling him to find a way to move these things away quickly, or they'd all turn into rotten dried fish...
Oh, that's difficult...
Production levels have increased, but there's a shortage of raw materials.
Especially with the arrival of thermite at the railway construction site, the speed of railway construction skyrocketed. After a lot of commotion, they discovered they had no rails left. But who was Wang Dadan? A while ago, during a ministerial meeting, he casually tossed out a demand list, glanced at the leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy, and raised an eyebrow:
"Understand?"
I understand, of course I understand. Don't mess with the Iron and Steel Group, okay?
The bigwigs at the Ministry of Metallurgy confidently assured that steel production would double this year, but only on the condition that the Ministry of Coal's raw material supply be guaranteed, and that having more excavators would speed up mining...
The coal ministry bigwigs shrugged indifferently, saying, "Enough, enough. As long as the railway company has enough transport capacity, haul as much as you want." What they really need to do is regulate the underhanded practices of certain departments that try to poach equipment.
Well, don't forget that when the excavator left the factory, this bigwig from the Ministry of Coal reacted extremely quickly.
It can be said that 40% of the production fell into his hands.
Minister Yang of the Ministry of Agriculture also talked about agricultural planning at the meeting, saying a lot of things like how powerful the "small cannon" was and how useful the "excavator" was.
The final conclusion was: "If we can guarantee the supply of excavators and bulldozers, we can recreate the 'Nanniwan Miracle' even in the areas most severely affected by drought! If the fertilizers that guy from the Ministry of Chemical Industry is working on can keep up, the people might not have to drink porridge anymore..."
Then the bigwigs from the Ministry of Chemical Industry pulled out a long list, and no matter what came up next, excavators and bulldozers were ranked second and third respectively.
The top choice is the "Overseas Expedition" version of the little powerhouse. Yes, it's the one with the rigid connection.
"In conclusion, with these engineering machines, our department's second-phase project can be accelerated. As long as we have enough equipment, I can guarantee that production will begin within two months, producing qualified compound fertilizer!"
After the report was completed, all the bigwigs turned their attention to Minister Xia of the First Ministry of Machine Building.
Their naked gazes conveyed one thought: Give me the equipment, give me the equipment!
For the first time, Minister Xia, who had weathered many storms, felt quite uncomfortable being watched by so many people.
Before Minister Xia could even speak, Wang Dadan slammed his fist on the table: "Uncle Xia, I'm not going to say anything more. I won't fight over the excavators, but give me a thousand bulldozers!"
"Xia Heizi! Food is the most important thing for the people. I want 40% of the output of these machines. Think about our friendship. I believe you won't let me down..." Minister Yang of the Ministry of Agriculture loosened his collar, implying that if you dare to say no, I will take responsibility for the killing but not the burial.
"Minister Xia, I've never lacked your coal supply. We should be considerate of each other, shouldn't we?" The bigwig from the Ministry of Coal poured Minister Xia a cup of tea.
"Glug~" Another cup of hot tea was downed. This was the third cup of tea that Minister Xia had finished.
"Minister Xia~ Xia Heizi~~ Old Xia~~~" A bunch of big shots, not wanting to miss any trouble, chimed in one after another.
"Okay! Stop arguing!"
Minister Xia slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
The assembled leaders fell silent, eager to hear how he would resolve the matter.
"I need to go to the restroom first..."
