Siheyuan: From a technical secondary school student to an academician of a major country

Chapter 123 Energy
After breakfast, Yi Zhonghai and Yu Wenzhen set off for work.

As soon as Yu Wenzheng arrived at the office, Lv Huiyun came up to him with a smile and said, "Director, I have good news."

Yu Wenzheng looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What good news?"

Lu Huiyun smiled and said, "Secretary An came to inform us this morning that all technicians will go to night school from now on. The factory director asked you to focus on researching new products."

Yu Wenzhen was surprised.

I didn't expect that the excuse I made up last time would actually lead to an unexpected surprise.

Not having to go to class is a good thing for Yu Wenzhen. After all, he really has a new product to research at the moment.

After all, the steel mill's funds are becoming more and more abundant, and the money will be left there anyway, and it won't be much if it is not spent.

What he is going to study this time is a more important machine that is closely related to agriculture.

planter.

Yes, it's a seed drill.

Current soil tillage machines are advanced, but the sowing speed is still very slow.

Although the country is now shifting from agriculture to industry, agriculture cannot be ignored directly. After all, people also need to eat.

Although the country is a little poor now, it still pays great attention to people's livelihood, otherwise there would be no planned economy.

Yu Wenzheng nodded towards Lu Huiyun and said, "If that's the case, then go ahead and get busy. Come back to me if you have anything else."

Lu Huiyun nodded: "Okay."

Then he walked towards the small office.

Soon after she left, Yu Wenzhen began to think about how to design a seed drill.

In fact, like tillers, seed drills also need innovations in three major factors: efficiency, energy, and operability.

Having experience in designing tillage machines, Yu Wenzhen actually did not find it difficult to design a seed drill.

The only problem is energy.

It is currently difficult to extract energy in the country, so oil is not particularly abundant. It’s okay for tillage machines, but the technology was not advanced enough at the time, so we could only design them to save money.

Now it’s different. He has mastered chemistry and can design solar cells.

As long as the energy conversion efficiency can be improved a little bit and the battery storage capacity can be increased a little bit, the solar seeder can be realized.

Do it when you think of it.

Yu Wenzhen took out a blueprint and started writing and drawing.

During this period, Lu Huiyun came once. Seeing that Yu Wenzhen was busy, she did not disturb him. After putting down her teacup, she quietly left.

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

November 16th.

This day is the day when Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru get engaged.

Sha Zhu also chose to hold his engagement banquet in the courtyard, but the dishes at the banquet were much worse than those of Yu Wenzhen.

It’s not that he has no money. He has already taken back the passbook from He Yushui. He spent nearly three hundred yuan on this engagement party.

It’s just because there are no connections, so the variety is relatively small.

"Congratulations, Brother Zhuzi."

On the 16th, Yu Wenzhen took a special afternoon off.

After all, when he got engaged last time, Sha Zhu helped a lot and didn't even take the money afterwards. It would be unreasonable if he didn't come to help today.

But although they say they are helping, in reality they are just coming here to make up the numbers and they don't need to do anything.

"Hey, congratulations. Wen Zheng, come in and sit down. You don't have to do anything. Just make some tea."

Shazhu seemed very happy, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

Yu Wen Zheng nodded and walked into the main hall of Sha Zhu's house.

The three old men in the room were all there, as was the deaf old lady, and the elderly people in the courtyard. This was almost the same group that attended Yu Wenzheng's engagement party.

Yu Wenzhen greeted them one by one, then sat down and listened to their conversation.

He didn't intend to interrupt. After all, there was a generation gap. Their topics were all about family matters, and Yu Wenzhen's attention was mostly on the design of the seed drill.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside.

Yu Wenzhen raised his head and looked outside, only to see Qin Jingru leading a man and a woman towards him.

The man looked to be in his forties, and the woman was about the same age, and looked somewhat similar to Qin Jingru.

It seems that these two people are Qin Jingru's parents.

Sha Zhu's actions also confirmed Yu Wenzhen's guess.

Sha Zhu went up to them and called out with a smile, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

Qin Jingru's parents were filled with smiles when they saw this lively scene.

After talking to Sha Zhu for a few words, Qin Jingru's parents were led into the main hall.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly stood up to greet him.

He acted as Sha Zhu's elder today, so when someone from the other side came, he naturally had to entertain them.

Qin Jingru walked to Sha Zhu with a sweet smile on her face and asked, "Brother Zhu, does my outfit look good today?"

For this engagement party, Qin Jingru specially asked someone to make this dress, and she used up all the cloth coupons that her family had saved for a long time.

Sha Zhu stared at Qin Jingru blankly and said cheerfully, "Looks good, Jingru, you look good in anything you wear."

Qin Jingru smiled even more brightly. She stood beside Sha Zhu and greeted the guests with him, looking very well behaved.

Jia's house, behind the window.

Qin Huairu lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru with hatred.

She has successfully hooked up with Li Huaide and has already reaped a lot of benefits from him.

But she still felt resentful that Sha Zhu abandoned her and got engaged to Qin Jingru.

She really wanted to take revenge on Sha Zhu and had spoken ill of him in front of Li Huaide many times, but Li Huaide was reluctant to take action.

This made her very anxious.

The better Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru lived, the more uncomfortable she felt.

However, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, there was nothing she could do.

Qin Jingru already knew about her and Sha Zhu's affair. Qin Jingru didn't even care about the past anymore, so it would be useless even if she made a fuss.

Qin Huairu was very unwilling, extremely unwilling.

I could only watch Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru being happy but I couldn't take revenge.

Who understands this feeling?

The meal starts at the same time, 6pm.

This time, Sha Zhu is the protagonist, so he cannot be the chef. The chef is his former senior brother in the restaurant.

Although his craftsmanship is not as good as Sha Zhu's, it is not much worse.

In the evening, the engagement party ended.

Qin Jingru's parents returned to the countryside, while Qin Jingru stayed.

After all, they are engaged, and no one will say anything if Qin Jingru lives in Sha Zhu's house now. Even if the couple sleeps together, it is reasonable.

In this day and age, there is actually not much difference between engagement and marriage.

Generally speaking, it is rare for an engagement to be called off, unless one of the parties has committed some crime and is sent to jail.
