The train driver in the courtyard

The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten bite by bite.

After Li Aiguo communicated the idea of ​​the weather forecast system with Professor Huang, he focused his main energy on improving sunspot observation technology.

After discussion, it was decided to use a projection plate with a diameter of 18.2 cm to draw the image of the solar disk to ensure the consistency of the imaging proportions.

The difficulty in manufacturing projection panels lies in the frosted glass, which has a light transmittance of only 95 percent.

The light transmittance of frosted glass currently on the market is approximately between 50% and 70%, and it does not have diffuse reflection properties.

Li Aiguo never expected that his journey of a thousand miles would end in disaster.

Things that people in later generations could buy with all their might have now become obstacles.

What?

Just pick up a stick and beat the tiger.

"Do we have a glass factory in Jinling?"

Researcher Qi Deming raised his hand and said, "Advisor Li, yes, it is a large glass factory. Our Jinling Glass Factory is the largest glass factory in the country."

"Let's go to the Jinling Glass Factory."

With the letter of introduction from Jinling Observatory, Li Aiguo quickly knocked on the door of Jinling Glass Factory.

The person in charge of the reception was a deputy section chief of the glass factory.

Upon learning that the other party was from the observatory, the pot-bellied deputy section chief's attitude suddenly became cold.

The observatory is a famously poor unit, with people suffering a lot, and there is no profit to be made.

"Frosted glass with a light transmittance of 95 percent? Our glass factory doesn't have that."

Qi Deming was anxious when he saw that the factory he recommended was unreliable: "Deputy Chief Liu, our observatory can pay an additional fee."

Isn't this just adding money?
Deputy Section Chief Liu said sternly: "Comrade, we are all class brothers. The small amount of money you mentioned is an insult to us."

"It's not that we don't want to help, but without production planning and production approval, no one dares to make a move privately."

It won't work unless you pay more money.

You shouldn't mention extra money here.

Qi Deming was a nerd and didn't understand the other party's implicit meaning at all.

He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Without the cooperation of the glass factory, the observatory cannot rub the glass by hand.

"Advisor Li, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry." Li Aiguo calmed Qi Deming down and looked up at Deputy Section Chief Liu: "Section Chief Liu, can I borrow your phone?"

"That's fine." Deputy Section Chief Liu pushed the phone to Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo nodded to him in thanks.

Deputy Section Chief Liu murmured in his heart, this young man is quite polite.

Crash.

The phone shook violently, and Li Aiguo said into the receiver: "Please transfer me to the office of Staff Officer Jun Wei Xiao."

Deputy Section Chief Liu, who had been sitting on the Diaoyutai, pricked up his ears at this moment, with a hint of doubt on his face.

After seeing Li Aiguo chatting with the man opposite him, he said, "Old Xiao, didn't the commander ask us to work on the meteorological project? Now we've run into trouble before we even started. We're short of a few pieces of frosted glass. Can you think of a solution?"

The expression on Deputy Section Chief Liu's face turned into disdain.

Staff Officer Xiao's voice came from the other side: "Where are you?"

"Jinling Glass Factory."

"Wait a minute, I'll have someone deliver something right away."

pat.

After hanging up the phone, Li Aiguo looked at Deputy Section Chief Liu with a smile: "Section Chief Liu, I'm sorry to bother you again this time."

The way Deputy Section Chief Liu looked at Li Aiguo at this moment was as if he was looking at those big liars in TV commercials.

Who are you? You just made a phone call to the Junwei compound and even asked for approval.

You are the chief's apprentice? !
However, Deputy Section Chief Liu was an old hand in the office after all, so he did not show it. Instead, he stood up, poured hot tea and handed over a cigarette.

Then he quietly ordered the security officers to guard outside the door, so that once the identity was revealed, they could come and arrest the person.

Recently, Jinling City has been carrying out a cleanup operation, and all factories have participated enthusiastically. This is a credit that comes naturally.

Li Aiguo was calm and drank his tea leisurely.

Qi Deming's heart was in his throat. Why did this seemingly honest consultant like to brag so much?

It's over now.

There was a weird atmosphere in the office.

It wasn't until the phone rang that it was broken.

Deputy Section Chief Liu stood up suddenly and picked up the phone.

"Hello? What? Comrade Junwei is here. I understand. Don't worry, he will definitely not cause any trouble to the factory."

After hanging up the phone, Deputy Section Chief Liu felt his legs go weak. He had to support himself on the table with both hands to stand up and look at Li Aiguo: "Comrade, I'm so sorry. Look, there has been such a big misunderstanding."

Li Aiguo said: "Deputy Section Chief Liu, there is nothing wrong with following the rules, but if you deliberately choose rules that are beneficial to yourself and inconvenient to others, then there is a big problem."

Although Li Aiguo was not clear about the production process of frosted glass, he knew that there must be a laboratory in a large glass factory like this.

Originally, a simple task that could be completed by deploying some technical personnel was deliberately made difficult by Deputy Section Chief Liu, who opened a new line and deliberately made excuses in the hope of subsequent benefits.

This situation is very common these days. Li Aiguo cannot take care of everything by himself, nor does he want to.

But if someone plays tricks on him, he would be embarrassed.

Who doesn’t have a little temper?

Qi Deming originally thought that the glass factory really had no way of producing frosted glass, but after hearing these words, he realized that he had been fooled by Deputy Section Chief Liu, the old fox.

Fortunately, I came with Consultant Li today, otherwise I would have returned empty-handed. As he was talking, the office door was pushed open.

In addition to a communicator in military uniform, a leader of the glass factory also came in.

Li Aiguo had seen this correspondent in Lao Xu's courtyard. He remembered that his name seemed to be Xiao Linzi, and he was from northern Shaanxi and liked to eat white flour steamed buns.

Li Aiguo greeted Xiao Linzi with a smile.

Xiao Linzi saluted Li Aiguo first, then took out a document from his canvas bag and handed it to him.
"Patriotic comrade, this is the production approval document."

"Please make the trip."

"No trouble, I have to go back and report, goodbye!" Xiao Linzi saluted and turned away.

Li Aiguo took the approval document and was about to hand it over to Deputy Section Chief Liu.

Deputy Section Chief Liu didn't dare to answer it at this time, and his fingers retracted as if he had been electrocuted.

The leader who had been silent since entering came up and stopped in front of Li Aiguo, smiling apologetically and saying:

"Comrade Aiguo, I am the production director of the glass factory. This is actually a misunderstanding. Deputy Section Chief Liu is not proficient in his business. I apologize to you here."

"So, no approval is needed?" Li Aiguo asked with a smile.

"No need." The director of the production department shouted outside: "Lao Zhou, please take these two comrades to the laboratory and ask the laboratory to help make glass."

"Yes!" A man in a gray Zhongshan suit walked in and looked at Li Aiguo and the other man with awe.

"Two leaders, please."

The director of the production department also looked at Li Aiguo with trepidation.

Li Aiguo took two steps, then suddenly stopped and looked at Deputy Section Chief Liu: "Deputy Section Chief Liu, thank you for your hospitality today."

"Really?" Section Chief Liu's body softened and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He originally thought that the young man would not argue with him.

I didn't expect the other party to be so petty.

After saying that, Li Aiguo opened the door and strode out of the office.

The door was not closed, and the cold voice of the production director came from behind.

"Liu Tan, you are suspected of deliberately embarrassing the masses and using your position to extort money. From now on, you will be suspended and investigated."

"Old Chen, I am really wronged. We have known each other for so many years. I hope you can help me plead for mercy."

"Alas, who made you offend someone you shouldn't have offended?"

When Qi Deming heard the voice, he looked at Li Aiguo with awe.

Li Aiguo straightened his collar and strode forward.

Pretending to be a vulgar person.

But it's just a temporary show-off and feels good for a while.

Always pretending to be cool, always having fun.

At this time, a voice came from behind: "Comrade Li, the laboratory is on the other side."

Li Aiguo: "."

The manufacture of frosted glass was as simple as Li Aiguo expected.

In the laboratory, several veteran researchers put on acid-resistant gloves, goggles and acid-resistant aprons.

The glass was first cleaned with alcohol, then completely immersed in etching solution, and ammonium bifluoride was added to allow the glass to form a finer crystalline layer.

It took only thirty minutes from the time the glass was brought in to the time the old researcher placed the glass on the testing instrument.

"The transmittance is 95.2 percent, just qualified." The old researcher breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the pointer on the instrument.

Just now, the news spread throughout their laboratory that Deputy Section Chief Liu, who often made things difficult for out-of-town glass buyers, had been arrested, and the Security Department also found more than ten small yellow croakers in his home.

The cause of all this was that seemingly honest comrade.

The researchers and workers in the factory have long had problems with people like Deputy Section Chief Liu.

This time the other party helped them get rid of the harm, so they naturally had to cheer up and help the other party produce excellent frosted glass.

"Comrade, please take a look." The old researcher carefully handed over the glass.

Li Aiguo checked and found that the frosted glass fully met the requirements of the grid projection board. After expressing his gratitude, he took Qi Deming back to the observatory.

The next step of manufacturing the grid projection board was handed over to the employees of the eyewear store.

They had been feeling uneasy ever since Zhou Liuzi was arrested, but now that they saw the observatory had handed in the task, they were all cheered up.

Li Aiguo continued to optimize the sunspot observation technology with Professor Huang and several other senior professors.

"We strictly classify sunspots according to their spatial distribution characteristics, establish our own set of standards, number the sunspots in the group, and avoid subjective judgment bias."

"The actual solar area is calculated by converting the grid coordinates on the projection map, and the sunspot area is recorded in the unit of 'one millionth of the solar hemisphere'."

“It is mandatory to mark the penumbra structure and morphological evolution characteristics of sunspots, and distinguish between monopolar and multipolar group types.”

“We will work with Sheshan, Kunming and other stations to synchronize observations according to the 27-day solar rotation cycle and cross-validate the reliability of the data.”

“Establish a unified archiving system for original drawings and require stations to regularly exchange manuscripts for comparison to ensure record traceability.”

These experiences from later generations are summarized by domestic and foreign observatories through long-term observations.

Although no new technology is involved, it can greatly improve the quality of observation.

Professor Huang and those professors are all old comrades and they instantly realized the feasibility of the new system.

"Once these systems are implemented, we will probably be at the forefront of the world in sunspot observations."

"Yes, take the distribution of sunspots for example. This is the first time I've heard of this term."

"It looks like we can make up for lost time."
