Chapter 274: Requesting a Piece of Land
Secretary Zhang was a little surprised and asked, "You are a senior engineer, but you don't live in the cadre building, but live in a shabby yard? What's the point?"
Li Yang smiled and said mysteriously: "Leader, you don't understand. We who are engaged in technology pay attention to the word 'quiet'.
The environment is too good, I am too impatient, how can I have the energy to think about technology?
Besides, I'm used to living in a shabby place, so I'm tough and have a lot of inspiration. Please help me this time."
Secretary Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He thought about it and felt that what Li Yang said made sense.
A technical person needs peace and concentration. Young people like Li Yang who are not afraid of poverty and devote themselves to their careers should be given more support by the organization.
Secretary Zhang immediately made the decision: "That's settled! Old Li, you take Comrade Li Yang to see the yard later. If he is satisfied, our organization will approve it for him, and let him concentrate on his technical work!"
In this way, Li Yang followed Deputy Director Li to the small courtyard with two entrances opposite the quadrangle.
From a distance, you can see that the yard is in ruins.
The wall paint was peeling off, the doors and windows were broken, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the wormwood was half a person tall.
The wing room had already collapsed, lying on the ground in a mess, revealing the broken bricks and tiles inside.
Deputy Factory Director Li frowned at the desolate scene and asked, "Mr. Li, do you really want to live here? It's too shabby. The leader wants to take care of you, but you are asking for trouble."
Li Yang didn't care at all, with a hint of excitement smile on his face.
He put his hands on his hips, looked around, and said, "It's okay, I just like this original style. As long as it's renovated, it will definitely be better than any other cadre building!"
Deputy Director Li shook his head helplessly, thinking that Li Yang was just a weirdo.
But on second thought, this young man has always been unique and his style of doing things is different from others.
They are willing to endure this hardship, and the leader has approved it, so what else can I say?
Seeing that Li Yang had already taken a fancy to this house, Deputy Director Li did not say much and could only ask: "Okay then. But are you going to decorate it yourself or hire a decoration team?"
Li Yang said without hesitation: "Of course I will find a decoration team. I am a mechanical engineer, how can I understand all that? Besides, I will not have the time to design the drawings if I am busy doing nothing."
Deputy Director Li nodded and said, "That's right. How about this? Our factory has its own renovation team, and they are all very skilled. I'll have their team leader come to you tomorrow, and you two can discuss it and clean up this broken house."
Li Yang was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
Back in the office, Li Yang excitedly took out the blueprints and began to design his new home.
He spread out a large blueprint and quickly sketched the outline of the house. Living room, bedroom, study, kitchen, bathroom...
Each room appears vividly on the paper, with an orderly layout.
Then, Li Yang began to add various details to the drawing.
I saw that he first marked the positions of doors and windows, making sure that every room could have light and ventilation;
Then there is the direction of the sewer pipes. A separate septic tank is designed on the first floor, and the sewage on the second floor can be discharged directly;
The circuit wiring is even more complicated. In addition to lighting sockets, Li Yang also reserved interfaces for telephone lines and network cables. Even the locations of household appliances that may be used are clearly marked.
Li Yang is also unique in his choice of materials.
The ground is all paved with antique tiles, which are beautiful and non-slip;
The wall is painted with latex paint, which is both heat-insulating and sound-proof;
The kitchen and bathroom used the latest waterproof coating at the time, separating the dry and wet areas, which was hygienic and practical.
In addition, Li Yang also has a unique understanding of furniture arrangement.
For example, a small platform is reserved in the middle of the living room, where a few pots of green plants are placed to create a fresh and natural atmosphere;
The words "wall lamp" are marked on the bedside of the bedroom, which shows that Li Yang attaches great importance to comfort.
Not to mention the study room, where an entire wall is designed as a bookcase filled with all kinds of books and materials, which is definitely the standard for a tech geek...
The design drawings were in full swing, and Li Yang had already outlined a beautiful blueprint for his new home in his mind.
……
Early the next morning, Deputy Director Li brought the decoration team leader Wang Tiemin to meet Li Yang.
"Engineer Li, this is the Captain Wang of our factory's decoration team whom I mentioned to you. You two should discuss the decoration matters carefully." Deputy Factory Director Li introduced with a smile.
Wang Tiemin was a big, strong man with a craftsman's face. He greeted him in a rough voice and said, "Mr. Li, just tell me what you want. We guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Li Yang quickly asked the two to sit down, served them tea, then spread out the drawings and began to talk incessantly.
"Captain Wang, do you see this? This is the living room. I plan to leave a small platform in the middle and lay white tiles..."
"This is the kitchen. It should be open, the kitchenware should be made of stainless steel, and the cabinet doors should be painted..."
"There is also a bathroom, which must be separated into dry and wet areas, and the waterproof layer must be in place..."
The more Wang Tiemin listened, the more surprised he was. He had been working in decoration all his life, but he had never seen such a particular person.
Not only is the layout reasonable, but the details are also considered carefully. It is clear what materials and processes should be used. How can this be a mechanic? It is completely a designer's posture!
Deputy Director Li was also stunned by what he heard.
He asked curiously: "Mr. Li, where do you get all these ideas from? I've never seen such advanced designs when I've watched other people decorate their homes."
Li Yang smiled mysteriously and said in a profound manner: "These are all the accumulations I have made in my daily life. Although I am a mechanic, I am also very knowledgeable about architectural design. Besides, technology is changing rapidly nowadays. If we technicians don't learn something new, how can we keep up with the times? Don't you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Li could not help but nod his head repeatedly.
I thought to myself, this young man Li Yang is really amazing. He is not only good at mechanical manufacturing, but also good at interior design. He is really a versatile person!
Wang Tiemin was even more impressed.
He scratched his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Engineer Li, in my opinion, your design is very new, and ordinary people really can't come up with it. How about this, our decoration team will go all out and make it international for you, so that the leaders can also open their eyes!"
Li Yang was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Therefore, in the next half month, the renovation of the courtyard was carried out in full swing.
The electric drill hummed and tiles fell down with a crackling sound.
A dilapidated courtyard gradually changed its appearance...
……
With waves of labor songs, the transformation of the courtyard is in full swing.
Li Yang stood in the yard, looking at the bustling scene in front of him with satisfaction.
The electric drills were humming, the workers were sweating profusely, tiles were falling down with a crackling sound, and a dilapidated courtyard was gradually being transformed into a new look in their hands.
The car sped along the wide road, the engine roaring.
Li Yang leaned back in the soft leather seat, looking out the window thoughtfully. Over the past few months, he had single-handedly led everyone to produce a series of impressive scientific research results.
First, the engine and gearbox have reached an unprecedented advanced level, attracting attention in the field of mechanical manufacturing;
Then there are military trucks and off-road vehicles, whose powerful performance and exquisite craftsmanship have refreshed everyone's cognition;
Now, he has built a garden house out of thin air, which has made the whole factory look at him with new eyes.
For a time, Li Yang's talent and courage had become the topic of conversation among leaders after dinner, and everyone was amazed.
But Li Yang knew in his heart that this was far from enough.
How can the dreams and ambitions of a "future messenger" like me be realized by just a few inventions?
To develop agriculture, do a good job in sideline business, let the working class have a good life, and let the motherland realize industrialization as soon as possible, this is the historical mission he shoulders!
Thinking of this, Li Yang's eyes became more determined.
……
In a blink of an eye, the factory building appeared before our eyes.
Xiao Wang parked the car quickly and walked up the stairs with Li Yang.
I returned to the office, picked up the phone and dialed the number of the big boss.
"Hello, leader? I'm Li Yang." Li Yang said respectfully.
"Oh, Xiao Li, what's the matter?" The cheerful voice of the leader came from the other end of the phone.
"That's right, leader. I've been thinking about a problem recently." Li Yang considered his words carefully.
"Our country is still in the construction stage, and resources are relatively scarce. I was thinking, can we get a piece of land, be self-sufficient, and grow some food?
This will not only relieve the pressure on the canteen, but also allow for some research on agricultural machinery. What do you think?"
The big boss was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Li Yang to come up with such an idea.
You know, the United Technology Center is mainly engaged in machinery manufacturing, so why did it suddenly think of agriculture?
"Xiao Li, you don't have to worry about resources." The senior leader pondered for a moment and said, "The organization will try its best to meet your targets and ensure that the engineers and technicians have good food. You just need to focus on technology."
"Leader, I understand what you mean." Li Yang said earnestly, "But now we are advocating self-sufficiency.
While we are developing machinery, we also need something else to assist.
For example, the development of agricultural machinery and animal husbandry machinery requires corresponding test fields and livestock, right?"
Li Yang talked endlessly about the advantages of owning a piece of land.
His eyes were bright and his words were full of enthusiasm and drive.
The big boss was moved by what he said.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Li, you are right. There is a piece of wasteland next to us. If you want to use it, just go ahead and get it. The organization will fully support you."
Li Yang was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. He knew that with this piece of land, his plan could be implemented.
Soon, the land was approved.
The leaders all thought that Li Yang was going to use it to develop machinery, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Little did people know that Li Yang had a bigger plan in mind.
He plunged into the design institute and began to study diesel engines.
In his opinion, this thing is not just used to make tractors.
It can also be used in small trucks, especially in the southwestern mountainous areas where ordinary trucks cannot pass. This engine is simply a magical tool!
Li Yang's mind flashed back to the 90s in his previous life, when tractors were everywhere in the southwest region.
At that time, this thing was the main force in rural areas.
It can not only transport goods, but also plow the land. It is simply omnipotent.
Moreover, this tractor has a characteristic, that is, once it emits black smoke, it proves that it is about to start to exert power.
If other cars emit black smoke, it is basically a sign of being scrapped.
But it’s different with a tractor. The more black smoke it emits, the more it proves that it is working hard.
Thinking of this, Li Yang smiled knowingly. He wanted to make a god-level diesel engine for this era, so that tractors and trucks could move forward on rugged mountain roads!
So, Li Yang began the intensive design and production.
