Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 69: The First Group Activity of the Study Society

On Saturday morning, Wang Jiankun got up early and went to the scrap recycling station. He refined the accumulated rare earth ore and combined some of the copper and zinc brought back from Du Weiqiao with the iron in the rare earth ore to make brass plates and galvanized iron plates.

Then he marked the box and sent a message to his father asking him to take it back to the production team on his way back.

He was asked to take the eight selected people to the warehouse of Dexing Copper Mine on Monday and have them stay there for one night. On Tuesday, he would take them on board to learn driving and maintenance knowledge as well as the use of some service facilities.

I gave two bottles of pickles and a bag of toffee to Mr. and Mrs. Ye Wei to express my gratitude to him for guarding the recycling station all this time.

After finishing all these, I went to school to report to my class teacher and gave him two bottles of Yangzhou specialty pickles.

This time when he went to Yangzhou, he bought some Yangzhou specialties near the dock. He bought more than 30 bottles of pickles and put a few bottles in his schoolbag. When the time comes, he will give a bottle to each of his seven disciples. These pickles are delicious when eaten with porridge.

I also bought a lot of bags of toffee candies, but I didn't bring them to school. I'll give them to them when they have a dinner together at the recycling station tomorrow.

After the morning reading class, Wang Jiankun gave a bottle of pickles to his deskmate Yu Zirun, and asked Fang Guihua to take 5 bottles to share.

After breakfast, Wang Jiankun ran to the liberal arts class of the second year of high school to give the pickles to Zheng Qian. She was very happy after receiving them and asked if Wang Jiankun would be there for the dinner the next day.

In the morning, Wang Jiankun corrected the test papers of seven students. They all made great progress. Yu Zirun, Lang Junjian and Yu Min, who had lagged behind in their studies before, have now caught up.

Wang Jiankun asked Zhizi to provide guidance according to each person's ability to accept, and to try to provide materials and questions within their limits. When they have finished learning high school knowledge, they can consolidate their knowledge while learning university knowledge. He is a little impatient and hopes that these disciples can help him in scientific research.

Among them, Lang Junjian has already shown a talent in programming and is also very interested in hardware. In the future, he can be allowed to learn more in this area. He can be responsible for the writing of some software, and then find some high school graduates to provide training to form a software team first.

After all, it is not a good idea to rely entirely on Wang Jiankun to type on the keyboard. Moreover, the software still needs to be constantly updated after it is written, and it needs to be adjusted according to hardware changes, which takes a lot of time.

Yu Min is also quite talented in physics and chemistry, and he likes to do these two types of experiments the most in the laboratory. When the time comes, let him develop in the direction of physical chemistry, and he can lead the research on some new materials and new technologies.

The other people haven't shown anything special yet, so we need to observe and understand them further.

In the afternoon, Wang Jiankun asked Chieko to help write the shipping company's rules and regulations and operating procedures, mainly referring to some regulations of Jianghang. Then he wrote an instruction manual on what the captain, first mate and waiter needed to do, and gave it to them to memorize during the training next Tuesday.

In the evening, Wang Jiankun completed the routine excavation work of the underground base. Now 200 cubic meters of elements can be mobilized every day, and the excavation speed has increased a lot.

Then the remaining 3 kilograms of uranium extracted last time were purified again, the enrichment of uranium 235 was increased to 3.5%, and then all were loaded into ceramic balls.

Wang Jiankun loaded these fuel balls into the feeding equipment. When the abundance of the fuel balls in the core was less than 1%, new ones were loaded in. The unreacted balls were recovered into the collection box at the bottom, waiting for Wang Jiankun's secondary purification.

On Sunday morning, Wang Jiankun went to buy a lot of ingredients, including half a pork spine for making soup, and half a side of lard for making oil, and the residue for making dumplings.

Flour is really hard to buy. People here mainly eat rice, and flour is shipped from Anhui Province or even further north, so the grain store must ask Wang Jiankun for grain coupons.

Fortunately, since he often had to go out, he asked someone to buy some national food coupons. He wanted to buy 20 kilograms of flour at a time, but the grain store refused, saying that there was not much stock and they had to keep it for some people. They could only sell him 10 kilograms.

To be honest, 10 kilograms is enough for two meals for the eight of them. They are all at a growing age, so Wang Jiankun went to the market to buy some more vegetables such as potatoes, cabbage, leeks, etc., so that they can put more stuffing in the dumplings.

Students started arriving at 8:, because Wang Jiankun had asked Fang Guihua to distribute materials after class yesterday and told them that they would make dumplings together today, so he asked them to come as early as possible.

Zheng Qian's mother came from the north and would occasionally buy some flour to make dumplings at home, so the job of kneading the dough fell to her because no one else, including Wang Jiankun, knew how to do it.

Although Wang Jiankun's mother is also from the north, she had good conditions when she was young and rarely kneaded dough. After she came to Wang Jiankun's home, they all ate rice and needed food stamps to buy flour, so they rarely made pasta. Wang Jiankun had never seen his mother knead dough since he was a child.

After Zheng Qian arrived, she asked Wang Jiankun to help boil hot water. Because it was winter now, the dough would not rise if cold water was used directly. Warm water had to be used. After kneading the dough, it had to be placed in a pot with hot water to allow the heat to keep the dough warm.

When the dough was almost finished, Yu Zirun, Fang Guihua and others came together. Wang Jiankun asked them to take on a task each, such as chopping wood and making fire, washing and cutting vegetables, preparing stuffing, pressing oil, boiling bone soup, etc.

After completing the preparations, Wang Jiankun asked Zheng Qian to teach everyone how to make dumplings. At first, no one knew how to do it, including Wang Jiankun. Zheng Qian started by teaching how to roll out the dough and then how to make dumplings.

Later we found out that there were only two rolling pins, and some people were a bit clumsy and couldn't roll out the dough. Either the dough was too thick and the dumplings couldn't take shape, or it was too thin and the dumpling skins broke.

Finally, Wang Jiankun observed for a while and decided to let Cheng Ming and Zheng Qian, who were good at rolling dough, roll the dumpling skins, while the other six people including Wang Jiankun would make them together.

It was the Minor Snow season that day, but the daytime temperature was still around 10 degrees. When the sun came out, it felt warm and comfortable. Everyone was making dumplings and chatting in the yard.

"Lang Junjian, I see that you like programming very much. Do you want to learn more and practice it more and develop in this direction in the future?" Wang Jiankun said.

"I'm quite interested, but will there be any job assignments in the future? I think computers are only used by some scientific research institutions now, and imported ones are super expensive."

"You don't have to worry about the allocation problem. Computer applications are booming abroad. Our country will definitely follow suit. When the time comes, various state agencies and enterprises and institutions will need a large number of people who know computers. If you start preparing now, your level will definitely be faster than those students who just started to get in touch with computers in college. As long as you keep learning and improving, when you graduate, various companies will scramble for you."

"That's good to hear you say that. I've already read the programming textbook you gave me, and I can write some of the exercises in it without looking at the book."

"It seems that you are quite talented. I will give you an advanced textbook. Please read it first. If you don't understand something, please summarize it to me. I will explain it to you and then take you to do a small project so that you can understand how the software is made."

"Okay, where is the book?"

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you after I finish making the dumplings."

"Jiankun, we also want to learn software programming, is that okay?" Fang Guihua and several others asked him.

"That depends on your talent and interest. You have read books on programming. Can you write the programs in the examples without reading the books?" Several people shook their heads.

"That's it. Let's put it this way. I have a few multidisciplinary experiments for you to do. I will give you some materials in the early stages. You can read and memorize them first. On Sundays and during the winter vacation, you can do the experiments here. If you do well, I will give you some subsidies. You can also have a prosperous New Year when you go home."

"Okay, there's nothing to do at home anyway, here I can not only study but also earn money."

"Wang Jiankun, can Zheng Qian and I come too?"

"Aren't you going home for the holidays? Your family members will be worried if you two girls stay out and don't come back, right?"

"That's right. Then tell us what to do during the winter break. Otherwise, it will be boring when we go home."

"Well, I'll give you a shortwave radio. You can listen to English programs and practice your spoken English. Then you can write down the news and current events you hear and share them with everyone when school starts."

"Okay, okay, but I may not remember everything." "Don't worry, I'll add a recording function to the radio. If you feel unsure after you finish writing, you can go back and listen to it."

"Well, this is good, when can you give it to me?"

"I'll give it to you after New Year's Day. For now, you should practice more with this one over here and memorize more words. To do a good job of translation, you need a lot of vocabulary."

"Well, I have memorized all the words for the first year of high school and am now memorizing those for the second year of high school."

"Class monitor, have you started memorizing the words for the second year of high school? So soon? The study materials that Jiankun gave us weren't so advanced, right?" Fang Guihua asked.

After hearing what Fang Guihua said, Yu Zirun also looked at Wang Jiankun.

"I gave you the materials based on your learning abilities. Yu Zirun has a good foundation in English and is talented in this area, so the English I gave him is the fastest among you, just a little slower than Zheng Qian's."

"Wang Jiankun, what about me? My English is not good either, and I just started practicing my listening skills recently."

"Don't worry, I'll give you a tape player. Start with the basics. On Sundays, you can ask Yu Zirun to help you practice your listening skills. You can also help Yu Zirun with history and geography."

"Okay, Yu Zirun, let's come here on Sunday and help each other." The two discussed future arrangements and whispered to each other.

After roughly arranging the advancement tasks for the seven disciples in the future, Wang Jiankun breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they trusted him so much.

After 10 kilograms of flour fermented, there was a lot of dough left. It took until 11 o'clock to wrap most of the dumplings. Wang Jiankun asked Lang Junjian and Hu Chunming, who were slow at wrapping, to cook the dumplings while the others continued to wrap them.

Because the pot is not very big and the dumplings are quite big, only about 30 dumplings can be cooked in one pot.

After cooking one pot, Wang Jiankun asked everyone to share 3 or 4 portions first, and then continued to cook the next pot.

The dumplings were stuffed with cabbage, pork and oil residue. After eating a few, everyone was still not satisfied and asked Lang Junjian and Hu Chunming to cook quickly.

They kept making dumplings while eating. After finishing 10 kilograms of flour, there were only about 120 dumplings left, and the rest all went into everyone's stomach.

After wrapping the dumplings, put them in a cool place outside and cook them for dinner in the evening. If they are not enough, just steam some rice and eat with pickles.

After eating the dumplings, Yu Zirun and Zheng Qian went to the wall to listen to the radio. It was midnight in the United States, and there was midnight news.

Yu Zirun could understand some of it and wrote while listening, but Zheng Qian found it difficult to understand.

However, Wang Jiankun suggested that she should listen more to get the feeling, and then look at the Chinese text written by Yu Zirun for comparison and recall to build up her listening sense.

Wang Jiankun took out the software programming textbook that he had prepared long ago. The previous one was for beginners. People with good talents and strong comprehension abilities could completely learn by themselves, but even if they learned it, it could only be said that they had a basic understanding of programming. It was still beyond their ability to make software that could be used.

Because the software is to run on a hardware platform, you must have some basic understanding of the hardware, and you must have someone to guide you in doing a few projects. Only after completing an entire development project can you be considered a master.

Lang Junjian is obviously very talented. He has a good grasp of basic programming languages ​​and can apply what he has learned to other situations.

In fact, writing software is very similar to writing articles. Software tells the computer what to do and how to do it. It is a set of texts that communicate with computer hardware.

Once you have mastered the phrase "basic program", combining them together will form software.

Wang Jiankun first explained some basic knowledge of the software to Lang Junjian, and then led him to make a most basic spreadsheet software.

Wang Jiankun has already installed the simulated hardware of an electronic watch on the computer. He explained step by step how to design the software framework, how to set basic functions, how to write functional programs for each framework, how to debug after writing, and so on.

He also took out a blank spreadsheet without any program burned into it and taught him how to burn the program.

After completing this set of processes, Wang Jiankun gave Lang Junjian a new task, which was to rewrite it. Do not copy Wang Jiankun's example, but refer to the book.

Then he wrote an alarm clock software. Wang Jiankun wrote down the requirements of the alarm clock and taught him how to call the existing hardware of the electronic watch. He let him figure out the rest.

He also gave him 7 blank spreadsheets and told him that when the software was written and entered into the software, the spreadsheets would be usable. At that time, each of the 7 disciples would be able to have a usable spreadsheet. Otherwise, they would only be able to use the spreadsheets that could not display time as decorations.

Yu Minhua, who had been watching from the side, asked, "Really? You'll give each of us a watch after we write the software and burn it in? Jiankun, how much does this cost, right?"

"This kind of electronic watch is not expensive, but the technology is expensive. Don't you see that such expensive computers are needed to write software? But I don't lack these electronic watches. I just hope that you can all learn knowledge and technology, so that you can create greater value in the future."

"Can I help write the software? I've learned everything from that basic programming book, but I don't practice enough."

"Well, I was planning to let you go to another project, but you learn quickly, so you can go to Lang Junjian for this project first. However, you should independently develop a software with a stopwatch function. Then your electronic watch can also be used as a stopwatch."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll first study this software programming book and see how Lang Junjian wrote it. I'll write it on paper and then input it into the computer for testing."

"It's great that you can think of this idea. Let's do it this way this year. Next year, I'll ask my relatives to buy a few more computers. Then you'll have to help train a few more apprentices."

"Okay, no problem, this is what we should do." Lang Junjian and Yu Minhua said in unison.

At this time, Fang Guihua, Hu Chunming and Cheng Ming were learning to ride a motorcycle on the road outside. Fang Guihua had already learned it, so Wang Jiankun was assured that he could teach him.

At around 4: in the afternoon, Wang Jiankun started to light the fire and cook. Zheng Qian and Yu Zirun also came to help wash the rice and add water to simmer the rice.

After the water boiled, Wang Jiankun put the dumplings into the pot first. He only cooked enough for two people each time and let Zheng Qian and Yu Zirun eat first. They had small appetites and each ate 10 and left 10 for Wang Jiankun.

For the next few pots, Wang Jiankun asked the men to cook them themselves, giving each of them 15 pieces. The boys at the end still felt unfulfilled after finishing the meals, so they shared the stewed rice with pickles.

The task of washing the pots was taken up by Zheng Qian and Yu Zirun. Wang Jiankun had been thinking of cheating as before, but now his superpowers were of no use.

Before leaving, Wang Jiankun gave each person a bag of Yangzhou specialty cowhide candy for them to take back and eat.

Thinking back on today's arrangements and conversations, I feel that I have become much closer to these seven disciples.

In the future, I will have to spend more time cultivating relationships with them and assign them some tasks so that they can constantly challenge themselves. This will not only help them grow, but also make them feel more belonging to the study group.
