The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

The gift is an honor that belongs to workers across the country and should not be kept exclusively, otherwise it would be too selfish.

There are no fresh mangoes.

The capital arranged technicians from the light industry system to make some wax and plastic mango imitations based on the size, appearance, and shape of fresh mangoes.

Counterfeit products are also made from the heart, and are meant to be shared with one another.

Workers from the capital traveled thousands of miles to deliver gifts in person, and provinces also beat gongs and drums to express their welcome and thanks.

This thing will be lively for a while.

Mango enamel tea cups, mango quilts, mango-flavored cigarettes, they can be found everywhere on posters, utensils, textiles, etc.

Foreigners are also fooled into thinking that we like to eat mangoes. Many visiting foreign friends will bring some mangoes as gifts.

A beautiful misunderstanding.

Haidian.

Opposite the ham sausage branch.

In a small corner of the machinery branch.

Zhang Haiyang led several people to clean up the site.

Yuan Jun shoveled away the weeds with a hoe, "The kiln is located here. It takes me an hour to ride a bicycle from home every day. It's very windy and rainy."

Zheng Tong was resting nearby, "It will rain for a few days in September."

Zhang Haiyang carried a bucket of white lime and marked it everywhere, "Don't worry, Li Ming has prepared several raincoats and won't let you go home in the rain."

Yuan Jun also rested with his hoe, "The main reason is that we don't have enough confidence. We haven't started research yet, and the refractory materials for making kilns are not up to standard."

Zheng Tong said optimistically: "I am confident. We are building a small kiln and we don't need much. We should be able to get it by moving here and there."

Zhang Haiyang participated in many projects and said confidently: "It will definitely be no problem. Other scientific researchers can trial-produce microcrystalline ceramics."

Since Li Ming proposed a high temperature of 1500 degrees or above, there are basically no kilns with such high temperatures in China, so we can only ask about it from other high-temperature industries.

This inquiry led to another research project.

Zheng Tong admired: "Li Ming really has many ideas."

"The watch project has just begun, and he was able to come up with the induction cooker project."

Yes, when I was inquiring about refractory and thermal insulation materials, I learned that when the domestic trial production of microcrystalline ceramics was successful, even though the refractory materials were not up to standard, some technical means were used and finally succeeded.

The panel materials of induction cookers have already appeared, and electromagnetic induction coils are very common.

Put the two together, and you have the two basic components of the induction cooker.

As long as a simple microcontroller is added, a simple induction cooker is made.

There is definitely no need for induction cookers in China at this time. Electricity costs 0.148 yuan per kilowatt hour for cooking food. The electricity bill of 10 kilowatt hours is enough to buy briquettes for a month. Most people in Beijing cannot afford induction cookers.

Shanghai is not much better. Even ordinary people in Beijing and Shanghai cannot afford it, let alone all over the country.

But the Japanese people next door can afford it, and the people in Ou Mei can not only afford it, but it is also very suitable for their dining habits. The overseas market is very broad.

Magnesium state-owned enterprises have issued laws prohibiting the purchase of products from my country, but there is no problem with those produced in Hong Kong City.

The mainland exports microcrystalline panels with technical content. Hong Kong City purchases microcontrollers from Magnesium Country, and electromagnetic induction coils from Japan or Hong Kong City locally, and then makes induction cookers and sells them to Magnesium Country.

Such a trade model is feasible.

Microcrystalline panels have dual characteristics of glass and ceramics, and firing requires high temperatures. Therefore, instead of just building two test kilns, we plan to build four 'shuttle kilns' at one time.

The machinery branch covers a large area and has low standards for noise and dust.

Li Ming borrowed a small piece of unused space in the name of the institute to burn the kiln.

Yuan Jun suddenly asked: "If we carry out two or three big projects at the same time, will the institute not have so much money?"

Zhang Haiyang was stunned for a moment, "I never manage how much money is in the account."

"Anyway, when there is no money, Li Ming will find a way."

Zheng Tong had no idea, "We still need to remind him, right? Otherwise, the project will not be completed until halfway through. Then our work will be in vain."

Zhang Haiyang felt that there were indeed a lot of projects this time, "I'll find an opportunity to talk to him."

In the past, I only worked on one or two projects at a time. This time, there were food preservatives, vitamin preparation, going to the countryside to investigate school buildings, ceramic watches, and induction cookers. Five projects were carried out at the same time.

The money will indeed be somewhat insufficient, but Li Ming has already thought of a way.

All the donations received have been distributed, and we have to give an explanation to the donors in Hong Kong City.

When sending materials to Hong Kong City, I explained that research was being conducted here.

The port city will fund the research institute in the capital to build kilns in the name of commendation.

After removing the cost of building four kilns, the cost of materials and fuel required for daily experiments is not a big problem.

Li Ming personally came to look at the key projects.

He did not find Zhang Haiyang and others first. He first went to several professionals invited and asked, "Is the venue here spacious enough?"

After more than 10 days of contact, we got to know each other.

Sun Changcheng, an engineer at Dahua Ceramics Factory, replied: "It's wide enough."

Zeng Xiangmin, a technician at the Jingcheng Ceramics Factory, said: "Everything else is good, except that there is no clay here, so getting the soil is a bit troublesome."

Li Ming responded with a smile: "I will arrange for other people to be responsible for these trivial matters. Your main job is to burn the kiln and record various data."

Zeng Xiangmin was more talkative than Sun Changcheng, "Don't worry about the kiln-firing job. I was considered a technical expert when I was in the factory."

"To be honest, I'm not an expert, and I didn't invite you."

Li Ming turned to a middle-aged woman and said politely: "Sister Tao, the laboratory is not ready yet, so I want you to dig the soil first."

Tao Feng, a researcher at the Institute of Chemistry who is engaged in analytical chemistry, said cheerfully: "The days of digging are not bad."

Tong Siyong, who is engaged in laser research at the Institute of Physics, stopped the jué in his hand and said, "It is rare to have a peaceful time digging in the soil."

Both of them were on the sidelines of the work unit, and they were only invited to participate in scientific research in the past two days.

The head of the original unit heard that he was here to burn the kiln and that he was assigned labor. In addition, Section Chief Li's reputation in the capital allowed him to let him go.

Li Ming promised: "On my territory, you can all conduct research with confidence, and no one can find fault."

Zhang Haiyang walked over empty-handed, "This weather will make you sweat profusely even if you do just a little bit of work."

Li Ming chuckled and said, "If you three go to farm in the countryside, I don't know if you can support yourselves."

Yuan Jun, who was carrying a hoe, said unconvinced: "We can also endure hardship."

Zheng Tong used the straw hat on his head to fan himself, "It's probably a bit difficult. We don't know how to farm in the first place."

Just chatting and joking, Li Ming asked Zhang Haiyang, "Where are the other two researchers?"

Zhang Haiyang replied: "Researcher Zhu Dunfu from the Institute of Semiconductors, who is engaged in research on transistors, and researcher Xue Shouchang from the Institute of Biophysics, who is studying the 'mechanism of enzymes', they will be here in two days."

"Is the unit unwilling to release him?"

Zhang Haiyang said with a smile: "Let him go. As soon as he heard that he was here to burn the kiln, he was willing to let him go. They still have some troubles to deal with in the work unit." The kiln burning was just a reason for lending people out. This was the reason why Li Ming organized the work for Zhou Xiaobai. The interdisciplinary research team is currently studying high-temperature ceramic materials.

It is not considered an off-topic research. Research on high-temperature ceramic materials inherently requires multi-disciplinary support.

Rather than having no projects to research at their workplace, the researchers at least have something to do when they come to Li Ming.

People like Li Ming'an thought, "Everyone will work hard for a few days. Later I will arrange for people from the construction team to come over for construction."

Tao Feng, who studied analytical chemistry, said politely: "It's really not hard work. It's just digging some soil."

Ceramics technician Zeng Xiangmin suggested: "In fact, you don't need to build a house, just build a shed to surround it."

"When the weather is hot, ventilation makes it less hot. When the weather is cold, the kiln dissipates heat, so it doesn't feel too cold."

Li Ming agreed: "Then I will discuss it with the machinery branch."

"The bricks and tiles are theirs, and they are responsible for the cost of building the house. Once the house is built, it is also theirs. We are just borrowing it for a period of time."

With sweat all over his head, Zhang Haiyang also used his straw hat to fan himself, "I thought I only borrowed the land, but this time it's all borrowed!"

"Since we don't have to pay for it, let's build a house! Once we build a house, we don't have to worry about strong winds or heavy rain."

Zheng Tong interjected: "We were just discussing whether the institute would run out of money."

"If you can borrow anything, you shouldn't be short of money."

Li Ming smiled and pointed out: "It is very expensive to conduct scientific research."

“It’s fair to say that when it comes to research, money is never enough.”

This remark made several people engaged in research feel a lot. They have to dig hard to do any experiment. If there are enough funds, enough reagents, and enough equipment, more results may be achieved.

It is indeed true that scientific research is a result of countless failed attempts. Except for super geniuses and super lucky people, scientific research results are all based on throwing money at money.

Li Ming knew some research directions, but it only reduced the unnecessary expenditure of money and improved the output efficiency of funds. He had to spend money on what should be spent.

I came to Haidian just to take a look. Today is the first day for the new employee of the ham sausage branch to level the ground. He wants to show his face to show his enthusiasm.

Li Ming quickly returned to the main factory, where the steel rolling mill held a meeting to study several important documents.

The latest issue of "Red Flag" published many far-reaching articles.

For example, the well-known 'Barefoot Doctor'.

"Looking at the direction of medical education** from the growth of 'barefoot doctors'"

For the first time, the article officially referred to rural half-doctor, half-farmer health workers as "barefoot doctors", and this name quickly became popular throughout the country.

Plus the article "The Cooperative Medical System Popular with Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants" dated December 12 at the end of the year.

By the end of 1977, 85% of production brigades across the country had implemented cooperative medical care, and the number of barefoot doctors reached more than 150 million.

Although the medical conditions are very rudimentary, they have provided the most basic medical services to rural areas that lack medical treatment and medicine, and have saved countless lives.

'Hello Barefoot Doctor! '

Unfortunately, after the 80s, the cooperative medical system disappeared along with the production brigades, and only a few places still exist.

Li Ming was not distracted during this meeting. He was more concerned about medicine.

at night.

Lou Xiao'e went back to Lou's house to attend the family dinner and stayed there that night.

Qin Huairu, who had not been here for several days, filled the gap.

The two naturally chatted about several meetings held in the factory today.

Li Ming sighed: "Normally, when you stay in the capital, you can't feel the suffering outside. Most places in the country still lack medical treatment, especially no medicine."

"I plan to build a pharmaceutical industrial park in the port city and produce medicines for free to the production brigades in the countryside."

Qin Huairu leaned her head on his shoulder, "Are you planning to build a pharmaceutical factory in the port city and then give away medicines to the mainland?"

Li Ming said about the latest plan, "Yes. There is still a large area of ​​industrial land in Tsuen Wan that has not been developed. We should build it first while it is cheap to build houses now."

"This time we plan to use the Taoist charity fund to provide donations not only to the mainland, but also to Hong Kong cities, the east coast of the Taiwan Strait, and places with a large number of Chinese people."

The military operation in Prague has caused some changes in the international situation, and our dialogue with Magnesia in Ouzhou has become closer.

The donation of medicines by Xingchen Company after its pharmaceutical factory is built will not affect its business in Magnesium Country.

Qin Huairu understood immediately after hearing this, "It is reasonable for the Taoist charity fund to only do charity in Chinese places."

Li Ming pinched her smooth little face and said, "Yes."

"Only producing the most basic drugs should not involve export controls."

"Contact the health department in advance, ask them what medicine they need, produce it according to their standards, and allow them to come to the factory for factory inspections. There should be no more wrangling."

Qin Huairu lazily followed his instructions, "It's good to give medicine."

"You said before that Xingchen Company was going to enter the pharmaceutical industry, but you don't know what project to do at the moment."

"The medicine given as a gift is also medicine. We can practice it first."

His hands couldn't stop, Li Ming pinched and touched here, "I have this consideration."

"The more people we know, it will be easier for us to invest in pharmaceutical factories and launch new drugs in various places in the future."

Qin Huairu, who had no strength, was too lazy to move, "How many are you going to send out that year?"

Li Ming estimated: "The annual budget is US$500 million."

"Penicillin in the Mainland costs 5 cents a pill, and 2000 million pills a year only costs 1000 million yuan, or 400 million US dollars."

"We also produce some tetracycline, erythromycin, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, sulfonamides, etc."

Qin Huairu suddenly thought about the transportation problem, "After the products are produced in the port city and shipped back to the mainland, will the freight be more expensive than the medicine?"

"No. They don't take up much space."

"It is still difficult to get medicine in the village. After the production is done, I will send some to my hometown Qinjia Village first."

Li Ming hugged her tightly, "Do you think it's easy to build a pharmaceutical factory? It will take at least a year or two before it can be put into production."

"This year and next year's US$500 million is only enough to build a pharmaceutical factory. A US$1000 million pharmaceutical factory is just so-so."

"Ask the village to make a list for you. If there are any medicines that are urgently needed, ask Xiao'e to buy some for you in the port city, and then you can take them back directly."

Qin Huairu was very satisfied with her man's thoughtfulness, "That's fine."

Because antibiotics are not used frequently at this time, various types of bacteria have not yet developed resistance and drug resistance.

At this time, people, especially those in rural areas, have low body resistance due to malnutrition. It is not an exaggeration to say that a pill can save a life.

There are many people who will be grateful to Barefoot Doctors for the rest of their lives because the doctors saved their lives with drugs like penicillin.

Antibiotics should not be abused, and there is no problem in using them occasionally.

If you are older, it may be more comfortable to use it however you want. After all, it is difficult to live a life of suffering, and it may be more worthwhile to live a more comfortable life every day. (End of chapter)
