Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 73 The Second Group Activity of the Study Society
At 3 a.m. the next day, the whole family got up and participated in the ceremony of moving into the new house. They first burned incense, and then everyone took something. Grandpa took the lead, followed by father and Wang Jiankun, who brought representative kitchen utensils and some things representing good meanings from the old house to the new house.

After the ceremony, no one went back to sleep. A stove was lit in the kitchen of the new house. Everyone sat around the stove basin, eating melon seeds and snacks and chatting. The snacks included cakes, cowhide candies and ginger candies brought from Yangzhou, white cakes and maltose bought from Fengshan Commune, fried chestnuts and peanuts, persimmon cakes, etc.

Grandma and aunt were very busy, they were busy making a fire and boiling water in a big pot, because they would be slaughtering the pig after daybreak, so the water had to be heated in advance, and as soon as the butcher finished slaughtering the pig, he would use the hot water to scald the hair and shave it.

My younger sister also did not forget the rabbits she raised, and she would remind my father from time to time to catch the rabbits. My father was so annoyed that he went to catch the rabbits at dawn, smashed them to death, and skinned them.

The two younger sisters were not afraid and just watched from the side until their father had peeled the two rabbit skins and hung them up to dry.

The butcher came after daybreak, because there were still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, and Wang Jiankun's family was the first to slaughter a pig, so the butcher could come so early. Otherwise, it would be afternoon before they came after slaughtering pigs from several families in Hongguan Production Team.

After slaughtering the pig, a banquet was set up at home. All relatives within five generations of the family and friends who gave gifts for entering the new house were invited. However, each family invited one representative, and there were four tables in total. If the whole family came, then all ten tables would not be able to accommodate them.

Because every family has a large family, with as few as 7 or 8 people and as many as 10 people, so after the restrictions were gradually relaxed in the past two years, those who hold banquets invite the heads of each household and at most let them bring one or two children. Children are not allowed to sit at the table, but stand at the side with a bowl to receive the dishes brought by the adults.

Today was the family's wine feast for the new house, so no one in the family sat at the table except grandpa. Wang Jiankun and his father helped to greet the guests, his uncle helped to serve the dishes and pass cigarettes, and his mother, aunt and grandma were all busy in the kitchen. They also hired a chef, otherwise the family would be too busy to handle four tables of food, and the food might not taste good, because cooking large pot dishes still requires certain skills.

The two sisters were very happy and ate until their bellies were full in the kitchen. This was because there was extra food after the dishes were prepared and divided into plates. The two sisters tried a little of almost every dish and before they knew it they were full of food.

The banquet lasted until 2 pm, and every dish was eaten up. In those days, no family would waste food. Anything that fell on the table or even on the ground would be picked up, eaten, so it was not troublesome to clean up.

Moreover, Wang Jiankun’s family was willing to let the chef add oil and salt when preparing the banquet, so the taste was very good, even better than the New Year’s Eve dinner of many families.

Grandma asked my aunt and mother to collect some of the soup in the dish and pour it into the slop bucket, because there was still a big pig left at home that had not been slaughtered, and there were two piglets in the pigpen that would be put in after the big pig was slaughtered. Besides, the big pigs could grow more meat if they were fed more.

The remaining big pig will be kept until the day of the Little New Year to be slaughtered. Most of the meat will be used by grandma to make bacon, and a small part will be eaten during the New Year. Then when my uncle and aunt go home, they must be given at least 2 to 30 kilograms of meat to take back to their hometown in Sikou.

Wang Jiankun rested in the new house in the afternoon. He woke up at 4 o'clock and said goodbye to his family. He would rush to the county town tonight. Tomorrow he would explain and analyze the recent questions of the seven major disciples of the study society, and talk to them about the arrangements for the subsequent holidays.

Originally, the information provided by Chieko could solve most of their questions. In the monthly exam at the end of November, all seven disciples made progress. Zheng Qian consolidated her position as the first place, with a score more than 11 points higher than the second place. As long as she persisted and made up for her shortcomings in mathematics and English, there would be no problem for her to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University.

Yu Zirun, Lang Junjian and Yu Min joined the group later, so their ranking in the November monthly exam did not improve much. However, they themselves felt that the improvement was not easy because the higher the ranking, the harder it was to move forward.

Fang Guihua, Hu Chunming and Cheng Ming have made great progress. Fang Guihua is now ranked 14th in the grade, Hu Chunming is 30th and Cheng Ming is 35th.

According to last year's college entrance examination results, the three of them have already been admitted to undergraduate schools, and Fang Guihua is also relatively certain to be admitted to a key university, because last year 60 students from No. 23 Middle School were admitted to undergraduate programs, including key undergraduate programs. Therefore, the three of them now believe in Wang Jiankun's words and do the experimental tasks he assigned them very seriously.

Tomorrow is the time for everyone to have dinner and study exchange before the final exams, and Wang Jiankun will ask for their opinions on some arrangements after the exams to see if they can stay in the laboratory to help.

The sun came out on the third day of New Year's Day. The sky was blue after the snow and the air was especially fresh. Wang Jiankun and seven disciples went to the market to buy vegetables and cook. This time everyone decided to eat hot pot. Wang Jiankun had already used his superpowers to make two charcoal copper hot pots in advance.

Everyone was assigned some purchasing tasks. Some were to buy charcoal, some were to buy beef, mutton, lard and pork bones, some were to buy vegetables, and some were to buy seasonings.

After everyone had bought everything at around 9 o'clock, they gathered at the East Gate Bridge and walked back to the recycling station together, chatting about interesting news on the way home.

The conditions in Fang Guihua's five Zhejiang communes have improved a lot now. A large group of people in their families are making cotton cores, and some of them are brave and smart and go to other communes and neighboring provinces to collect cotton.

The farthest ones went to Xiuning and Huangshan in Anhui Province, Quzhou and Jinhua in Zhejiang Province, etc. When they went there, they would wholesale hundreds of lighters from the team, and when they came back, they would buy some cotton and local specialties. The cotton was used to make cotton cores and sold to the team, and the specialties were sold from door to door to some wealthy families.

Wang Jiankun's family bought two Jinhua hams, and some people in the team who had earned money were also willing to buy a lot of food and daily necessities.

Wang Jiankun from Zheng Qian's family also helped, arranging for his father to help sell tickets in Sizhou Town and sell snacks at the dock. They started to have a stable income every month. With more and more ships sailing, I believe her family's life will get better and better.

Yu Zirun doesn't have to worry, as his father is already one of the top cadres in the county.

When they arrived at the yard of the scrap recycling station, everyone divided the work. Lang Junjian and Fang Guihua were responsible for making the fire and boiling the base and bone soup. Cheng Ming and Hu Chunming were responsible for cutting the meat. Wang Jiankun and Yu Min were responsible for marinating the meat. Zheng Qian and Yu Zirun were responsible for washing and cutting the vegetables.

While marinating mutton and beef, Wang Jiankun asked Yu Min if she would be willing to spend more time on physics and chemistry experiments in the future, and to set aside three evening self-study sessions a week and also come on Sundays. If there were any issues with going out for evening self-study, she could go to the teacher to ask for permission. If that didn't work, Wang Jiankun could help find the teacher and the leader.

Yu Min thought about it and agreed. His last monthly exam result had improved him to 8th place in the grade. Furthermore, after receiving very targeted tutoring from Wang Jiankun this month, he felt that the knowledge of the first year of high school was no longer difficult at all. If nothing unexpected happens in this final exam, he should be able to move up two more places.

It is not a waste of time to spend three nights a week doing experiments. He must be preparing to choose science in his second year of high school, so coming here to do experiments that he would never be able to do in school is also a form of advance learning.

Moreover, Wang Jiankun would not treat him unfairly. After checking and trying out the two software he had developed with Lang Junjian, Wang Jiankun gave him 20 yuan and 16 yuan respectively, which was equivalent to one month's salary for an average person. All he did was type on the computer provided by Wang Jiankun for more than ten hours.

In the process of writing software, his math and English skills have also improved. At the same time, his logical thinking ability and comprehensive judgment ability on problems have also been greatly improved. Now he is more adept at learning math and physics, masters new knowledge points faster, and his learning efficiency is much higher than before.

Seeing that he agreed, Wang Jiankun then talked about the subsidy. According to Wang Jiankun's experimental design, he could get a reward of 10 yuan after completing each experiment and producing the corresponding samples. Generally, an experiment takes about 12 hours from start to finish, which is equivalent to 3 days a week plus one Sunday, so he can get 20 yuan.

However, if you fail to complete the experiment, there will be no reward, only the basic 1 dollar for each experiment. If you can analyze the reason for the failure and then complete it after improvements, you can get the rewards that you didn't complete before.

Hearing that the future benefits would be so good, he quickly agreed, because if he missed it, he would miss this good thing.

After hearing this, the other people asked Wang Jiankun how they would arrange it, as they also wanted a reward.

Wang Jiankun finished his work and then talked to them one by one, starting with Lang Junjian. His programming ability is now not inferior to some domestic college students majoring in computer science, but they don’t have such good conditions as Lang Junjian.

Wang Jiankun told Lang Junjian that rewards would be given according to programming time and project completion. Basically, 1 cents would be given for one hour of effective programming, and then corresponding completion rewards would be given depending on the complexity of the project. For example, the alarm clock software for the spreadsheet that was previously written was rewarded with 5 yuan, and 40 yuan was also given as labor fee.

He was very happy to hear that there would be rewards for future projects. The basic hourly wages were not small, and he could earn about 1 to 5 yuan a day every Sunday. He hurriedly asked if there was any software that needed to be developed later.

Wang Jiankun gave him the software development requirements for a box-pushing game. The hardware specifications had been written, and all the hardware simulation interfaces had been provided. He only needed to write the corresponding software according to the game interface and the requirements of each level and then debug it.

This project was also difficult for him, because it involved many things and variables, and he also had to establish the concept of the game and figure out how to achieve the changes in the screen. This software was developed based on the Japanese, and it has not yet been officially launched on the market. It was a trial version that Peter found through his agent in Japan.

Peter has been helping Wang Jiankun collect new electronic components and products on the market, so Wang Jiankun knew about this game.

Wang Jiankun asked Tomoko to simulate the game, and then tried the improved version in his mind. Wang Jiankun found it very relaxing, so he decided to make a handheld game console. Currently, the main feature is the box-pushing game, and he will see if there are any good ideas to make a new handheld game console later.

I talked to Lang Junjian for more than half an hour, and even made the first level of the game in the yard using the boxes stacked on site and demonstrated it to him. He finally had an intuitive concept of the game, and then he used the software to implement it.

Then he called Fang Guihua, Hu Chunming and Cheng Ming, and asked them to make corresponding products according to the experimental steps given by Wang Jiankun, and then write patent documents and papers according to certain specifications and give them to Zheng Qian and Yu Zirun, and ask them to check and translate them.

The English patent documents and papers were given to Yu Zirun to write and then submitted, and the Chinese ones were given to Zheng Qian to write and then submitted. The three people who signed the papers discussed who would be the first author and who would be the second author. The corresponding author was Wang Jiankun, and the patent belonged to the company established by Wang Jiankun in Hong Kong.

For each completed paper and corresponding patent, a reward ranging from 15 to 30 yuan will be given. Yu Zirun and Zheng Qian, who are responsible for translation and compilation, will also receive corresponding rewards.

Everyone is very satisfied with this arrangement. Since joining the study group, not only have they received guidance in their studies and their grades have improved a lot, but they can also learn some new things and easily earn money that ordinary people have to work hard to earn.

Wang Jiankun made such arrangements for them because they were already very advanced in their studies and had spare energy to participate in scientific research projects. Wang Jiankun's previous plan of making some products and applying for overseas patents can now be put on the agenda.

In the future, he will be responsible for providing research topics and corresponding materials and guidance. These seven disciples can help him share some basic research work. Zheng Qian and Yu Zirun, who will focus on liberal arts in the future, can help with the papers and patent documents. They can also learn the knowledge of writing patents and papers. Of course, they still have to focus on related studies in the liberal arts in the future. Fang Guihua and others will also have to learn how to write English papers and patents in the future.

For example, Wang Jiankun suggested that Zheng Qian develop in the field of international trade and international law. As the reform and opening up go deeper in the future, talents who understand these fields are particularly needed. Whether she is willing to work in a state agency or in Wang Jiankun's company, she will have a good future and can help Wang Jiankun.

Yu Zirun suggested that she develop in the fields of translation and diplomacy. Now she not only listens to English radio, but also Japanese radio. The basic introduction to Japanese is provided by Wang Jiankun, who also taught her basic spelling and dictation. Now she has learned the basics.

She has a great talent for languages ​​and learns quickly. Once she has learned Japanese to a certain level, Wang Jiankun plans to teach her Russian. If she wants to pursue a career in diplomacy in the future, knowing three languages ​​should be a basic requirement.

By 11 o'clock, the marinated meat was well-seasoned, and the bone broth and base sauce were cooked. Together, they moved the two hot pots to the wooden box in the yard, then put in the charcoal fire and put the base sauce and bone broth into the copper hot pot.

Four people shared one hot pot, and each had a stainless steel bowl and chopsticks, which were made by Wang Jiankun using the rare nickel. They are easy to clean and save the trouble of bringing lunch boxes and chopsticks every time they come for a meal.

The mutton and beef were both marinated well, and the knife Wang Jiankun used was very sharp, so the meat was cut very evenly and thinly. It could be eaten in just a few seconds after being put into the boiling hot pot.

Several of us have been eating a lot of meat recently. We buy some meat every time we get together, but it is still very satisfying to pick up the meat and cook it by ourselves and then take a full mouthful of meat.

The eight people finished eating more than 5 kilograms of beef and mutton in more than 10 minutes. After everyone calmed their stomachs for a while, they added some bone soup into the hot pot, and then boiled potatoes, radishes, cabbage, celery and other seasonal vegetables.

They were much more polite when eating vegetables. They no longer used chopsticks to pick up the meat and put it into the hot pot as soon as the cooked meat was put into their mouths. Everyone ate and chatted around the hot pot.

Wang Jiankun told the reporter that he would go to Guangzhou after finishing his exam. He planned to be gone for a week. After finishing his exam on the 8th, he would rush to Raozhou and take the train that evening, and would arrive in Guangzhou on the 9th.

I will check out the production situation of the electronic watch factory over there, and then go to Hong Kong depending on the situation. I will probably be back here on the 16th.

After arriving, I will stay in the laboratory for 3 days, and the laboratory will be closed on the 20th.

Everyone also said that they would stay here until the 20th after the exams. Zheng Qian had already agreed with Yu Zirun that they would stay at her place after the school holidays. Fang Guihua and the other five would move into Wang Jiankun's house, and make a large bunk bed out of boxes, which would accommodate five people even if they squeezed together. Ye Wei and his wife would be given a seven-day holiday, and after Wang Jiankun closed the laboratory, they would come over every day to check on the situation.

At the end of the meal, there were still a lot of vegetables left, so Wang Jiankun planned to leave them for Ye Wei and his wife, and save the bone broth for cooking noodles in the evening.

In the afternoon, Wang Jiankun took out the prepared materials and assigned the tasks. The first one was Yu Min’s comprehensive research project in physics and chemistry. The topic assigned by Wang Jiankun was LED preparation.

At present, the world already has green and red LEDs, but there has been no breakthrough in blue LEDs, so there is no way to get white LEDs. This is because white light is generally composed of three colors: red, green and blue. If blue LEDs have not been invented, red and green light cannot be used on a large scale for lighting and other places.

In fact, Wang Jiankun has already used his superpowers to produce blue light LEDs, but how to synthesize it industrially still needs to be explored. Large-scale preparation is also different from laboratory preparation, so he handed it over to Yu Min to help get the laboratory preparation running.

The relevant materials, theoretical knowledge, basic experimental methods and equipment are all ready. As long as Yu Min can follow the steps and test the materials one by one in different combinations, he will definitely be able to reproduce the blue light LED that Wang Jiankun synthesized using his super powers.

However, Wang Jiankun did not make it so difficult for Yu Min at the beginning. He gave him the manufacturing methods and materials for green light and red light, and asked him to reproduce them first, and then prepare blue light.

If there are any discoveries or phenomena that are beyond Wang Jiankun's imagination, he should also record them down, as they might be a new invention or a new useful substance.

Then he took Fang Guihua, Hu Chunming and Cheng Ming to learn how to use the new equipment.

For example, small machine tools, small injection molding machines, electric welding guns, etc., these are mainly used to design the shell of the game console and related function buttons. After they are produced, they must be tried out to see if they make people feel comfortable.

Wang Jiankun would ask Zhizi to design several basic circuit boards, and then have them solder and test them according to the drawings, and then assemble them together with the outer casing.

During this period, many patents will be generated, and all of these will be applied for abroad. Only some of the more important ones will be applied for domestically. There is no need to apply for others because no one will take them seriously, and it may not be possible to sue them even if you want to.

Zheng Qian and Yu Zirun had been listening nearby. Although they didn't quite understand the specifics, they knew what Wang Jiankun wanted them to do.

Then Wang Jiankun gave them two volumes of information, one about patent writing, and the other about thesis writing standards. Both volumes were accompanied by many examples for them to use as reference.

These materials were also collected by Peter and my uncle, and then sorted by Wang Jiankun before being given to them.

In the evening, the eight of them used the remaining bone soup to make a big pot of noodles. After eating it, everyone went to school.

At this time, the eight people were wearing an electronic watch. The hardware of this watch was made by Wang Jiankun using his superpowers, and the software was written by Lang Junjian and Yu Min. In addition to displaying time, it also has stopwatch, timer, alarm, calendar and week functions, which is much more powerful than a mechanical watch.

After the final exam, Wang Jiankun will go to Guangzhou to help the electronic watch factory improve the yield rate of 10-micron photolithography machines and etching machines, so that this multifunctional electronic watch can be mass-produced at low cost.
