Siheyuan: Rebirth of the Silly Pillar, with enlightenment that defies heaven

July, 1957.

The special day is getting closer.

In the courtyard, He Yuzhu had already started making preparations. He doesn't need to worry too much. There are tens of thousands of kilograms of grain stored in the space, and the normal material reserves are enough. Therefore, no matter what happens next, it will not have any impact on him.

At the same time, after He Yuzhu had breakfast, he rode his bicycle to work at the research institute. By the way, he specifically told his wife that she might not have dinner at home tonight.

Because today is the day when the delegation comes to the institute, in addition to receiving those delegations, there will definitely be reception meals at noon and evening. For these occasions, as the chief of the fourteenth department, He Yuzhu still had to be present.

By the time He Yuzhu arrived at the research institute, it was past seven in the morning.

Chen Xingye specially asked Zhu Zhu and several senior leaders to come over early. After all, they always have to do a good job of receiving the delegation when they come to visit and study. After all, it is not easy to get this kind of opportunity from the organization.

As far as Chen Xingye knows, this year, there are two groups of delegations coming from the country. One of them is going to the north, and the other is the group that is about to arrive at the 304 Research Institute. , it can be seen from this that the 304 Research Institute is still quite valued in the organization.

At this time in the morning, most of the employees of the 304 Research Institute were on their way to work, so there were not many people here. However, at this time, there were six figures waiting here in advance.

Chen Xingye, Professor Zhang Lan, and four fourth-level researchers in the institute. These four fourth-level researchers have been deeply involved in their respective fields for many years. They have accumulated rich experience, and they still have a lot of room for hard work in the future. , who are very likely to become third-level researchers, belong to a group of people who have a considerable voice in the institute.

This is also the highest lineup currently in the 304 Research Institute. Except for a few researchers who are still on business trips, all the heavyweight players in the institute are present. This is enough to show that the institute attaches great importance to this exchange meeting.

Of course, there is also He Yuzhu, the new section chief of the fourteenth department.

Although He Yuzhu is currently a sixth-level researcher, He Yuzhu's demonstrated strength and research results have long made He Yuzhu an equal in everyone's mind. Many people even believe that He Yuzhu's future development is much more promising than theirs. Well, becoming a third-level researcher is not difficult, even...

It's just that because the tasks in the fourteenth department are currently busy, He Yuzhu can't get away to take the engineer's certificate exam, so he hasn't been promoted in level for the time being. However, taking this into account, Chen Xingye did not hesitate and gave Zhuzi a very generous salary increase, which was far from what a sixth-level researcher could compare with.

Moreover, they have heard the news to some extent. The focus of this group of foreign delegations coming back this time is probably to visit the 14th Department. Chen Xingye and the others are also somewhat proud. After all, the things produced by the 14th Department are, if you look at the world, Those can all be ranked high. In the eyes of foreigners, everything in Rabbit Country is backward, such as technology, knowledge, etc. Therefore, everyone also wants to seize this opportunity and pass the 14th The department, which displays the results of their research through pillars, can also surprise these gringos.

After all, everyone was feeling aggrieved because they were being suppressed technically, and they were all working hard.

Time passed, and the senior officials of the institute waited at the door for an hour, but the foreign delegation's motorcade did not arrive. Chen Xingye couldn't help but be a little confused after not seeing the delegation arrive.

What's going on? Isn't the set time eight o'clock? They came here in advance specifically, but when they arrived, there was still no one there?
He looked at the hands of his watch and saw that it was already eight seventeen. Several other researchers were also a little confused, so Chen Xingye couldn't help but go to the guard booth, where there was a communication phone.

Chen Xingye dialed a few numbers, and then told the other party to transfer. After a while, the call was connected, and Chen Xingye asked his doubts.

"Didn't the foreign delegation agree to arrive at eight o'clock? Why haven't they seen anyone yet? Was there an accident on the road?"

Soon, the other party seemed to give Chen Xingye a reply after making inquiries.

You didn't say there was any surprise, so you should have arrived on time?
After the answer was given on the other end of the phone, Chen Xingye was confused. When the phone hung up, Chen Xingye was unsure and shook his head.

What's the situation?
After he came out of the security booth, several people looked at him.

"Director, is the delegation here?"

"Not yet. I called to ask and there was nothing unexpected. Logically speaking, they should arrive on time."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be a little confused.

A few people discussed it and decided to wait here for a while. Maybe someone's car had some minor problems on the road and they wouldn't have time to communicate with the organization, right? If that were the case, they wouldn't be waiting here anymore. When a delegation came over, there wouldn't even be anyone here, and they would still be missing one of their own.

More than half an hour passed, and it was almost nine o'clock in the morning.

At this time, the researchers who came to work in the institute also arrived one after another.

Moreover, many researchers in the institute were notified that they should not be busy at work and could greet the delegation by the way.

But seeing that the time had passed, there was no one in the delegation. Many comrades were gathered at the door, but they felt like they had nothing to do. Seeing this, Chen Xingye had no choice but to ask someone to inform them. Go to work, after all, they don't have any accurate information at all.

Moreover, the researchers at the door were also a little unhappy.

If they could help think of a reason after ten minutes or twenty minutes, it was almost an hour late, and there was not even a trace of the delegation. This was unreasonable, even if something happened on the road. Unexpected, don’t you know how to communicate with me immediately? Those delegations brought communication equipment. It's absolutely impossible not to communicate and just have no news, right?
Various thoughts appeared in everyone's mind, and a few people were really impatient to wait. They thought that they should go back and communicate with the superiors first to see what the situation was. It was not a problem to just wait here. When I was a child, the sound of two truck engines came from far away and soon came into everyone's sight.

"coming?"

Everyone looked around and saw two large Jiefang trucks, which were specially arranged by the organization to pick them up.

After waiting for the two large trucks to park at the entrance of the institute, the people on them also got off one after another.

Some foreign faces soon appeared in everyone's sight.

The delegation here comes from America and the Woolly Bear Country, with five members from each country.

It can be seen that the delegation members of these two countries are clearly distinct and do not care about each other.

This is normal. After all, considering the current international situation, these two have always been inseparable.

Chen Xingye and the others also put away their dissatisfaction at this time and smiled and nodded at everyone.

On the side, a translator helped convey the greetings from Director Chen and others. The delegation, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention to the translation here. Several of the members were communicating there in their own native languages, with a rather frivolous tone.

Among the crowd, He Yuzhu frowned after hearing the exchanges between these guys.

These guys were there to laugh at the poor conditions they were using to welcome these guys.

"The conditions are simple or not, at least the people here are not so unqualified."

"You are unable to do the most basic respect of punctuality, which only shows that the education in your country is like this."

He Yuzhu told the two guys directly in Russian and English respectively.

At this time, the two delegation members were a little stunned.

Obviously, they did not expect that apart from translators, there would be people in this institute who could understand their language, and moreover, they would use two languages?

Chen Xingye and the others were slightly startled when they saw He Yuzhu's sudden opening and his fluent English and Russian.

However, they quickly realized that Zhu Zhu was a top student at Tsinghua University, so these two foreign languages ​​were no problem. However, they could tell from Zhu Zhu's tone and expression that they could probably guess the meaning of those words just now.

In response, Chen Xingye's eyes flickered, but he did not stop He Yuzhu.

When He Yuzhu spoke at this time, it was naturally not to show off.

There were really too many bad things about these guys. He could hear from the whispers of those people just now that their late arrival was not at all due to something wrong on the road, but because they had no intention of keeping to the time in the first place. It was scheduled to meet at eight o'clock in the morning, but it turned out that many of these people didn't wake up until after eight o'clock, and then came by car after having breakfast.

This is simply not taking their research institute seriously, or in other words, from their attitudes, we can see the epitome of foreign attitudes towards Rabbit Country. Therefore, this is what I said out of anger.

On the other side of the delegation, there was a figure who looked like a leader. After looking at the situation in front of him, he said a few words of mediation, but his tone and expression were not very sincere.

After communicating through an interpreter, Chen Xingye and others also understood. Naturally, I approve of Zhu Zhu's approach. But Chen Xingye was still the director after all, and this delegation event was also arranged by the organization. It would not look good if they just broke up here and made a fuss, so he still stepped forward to help smooth things over.

Under such a small episode, the matter was quickly over, and the institute received these delegation members.

First, he took everyone on a tour of the environment and conditions of the institute.

As well as some daily images of research.

During this period, the members of the delegation did not show much interest, or in other words, they were indeed somewhat disdainful of the situation at the institute.

I guess these people don't care about the technology of Rabbit Country.

During the whole process, Chen Xingye and other senior officials in the institute also felt that these guys were obviously perfunctory and frivolous, and they also felt a little angry inside.

But there is no way. Although most of the projects in the institute can be considered good domestically, when viewed internationally, especially in front of the two most powerful countries in the world today, many things are indeed lagging behind.

"Director Chen, are these things almost complete? If they are all of this level, there is actually no need for us to continue reading, so as not to waste time. I heard from your department, are there any in the 14th Department of your institute? Less advanced technology? Although I have doubts about the advanced technology you talk about, you should just take us to see those."

After visiting the laboratory of the fifth department, the head of the delegation spoke directly.

After hearing the meaning of the other party's words, Chen Xingye was already angry. When Chen Xingye said he wanted to come to a foreign delegation for exchange and study, he had already made some mental preparations, but he still didn't expect that these foreign guys would have such a bad attitude. This was a blatant look down on you, not at all. Undisguised.

Among the members of these delegations, during the recent visit, they also pointed out the technology of their departments. Some of them were translated, and many of them communicated too closely and did not have time to translate, but they were not good things.

He Yuzhu followed the crowd and fully understood the situation of these guys.

They just came here to show off their superiority. In the name of exchange and learning, they stood at a high place and pointed arrogantly, as if city people came to the shabby countryside and were superior to others in everything.

This made He Yuzhu's original idea of ​​learning from foreign experiences of this era to see if it had any inspiration for him gone.

However, after all, this was an event arranged by the organization. He Yuzhu could not just give up the burden and could only wait for Chen Xingye to speak.

After some discussions, several senior leaders of the institute agreed to the delegation's request.

What they wanted to do was to quickly visit the fourteenth department and send these "big men" away. The exchanges and progress they originally thought about now seemed to be entirely their own wishful thinking. In this case, they were not resentful. , there is no need to rush to please these people.

Soon, everyone changed careers and went directly to the laboratory of the fourteenth department.

"Zhuzi, I'll leave this to you."

After everyone arrived at the entrance of the laboratory, Chen Xingye also spoke to He Yuzhu.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu nodded slightly and glanced at the delegation behind him.

"Because some technologies involve confidentiality, I said that you can only look at it and not touch it when you enter it. We will not disclose some key data. I hope you will abide by it to avoid causing an ugly incident."
