The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 116 New Computer
The autumn wind is blowing, and it is time to stock up on cabbage. This year, Liu Hua is enjoying high standards of treatment.

The autumn vegetable command center in Beijing has not yet been established, but the logistics of the steel rolling mill have already delivered the cabbages to the courtyard. They are neatly stacked one by one. They are all high-quality cabbages, authentic Jiaozhou cabbages from eastern Shandong, and are even covered with felt cloth.

In addition, there were a lot of potatoes and radishes in the cellar, and Li Huaide also collected some good things such as salted fish, bacon, and ham.

The coal pile at home was piled up with honeycomb coal, enough for Liu Hua to use for the whole winter, which made everyone in the yard envious.

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "A few days ago I told my wife that you would have to queue up late at night to buy Chinese cabbage this year. Now you don't have to buy it. We still have to queue up miserably."

"That can't be helped." Liu Hua said ostentatiously, "My status is already there, so it's impossible for me to keep a low profile."

On the day of the cabbage rush, Liu Hua slept until he woke up naturally, then went out to have breakfast. After breakfast, he saw that there were sesame cakes in the store, so he bought a few.

Liu Hua smiled and said, "Hey, Silly Zhu, you're still waiting in line."

"Can we not queue up? No one is delivering cabbage to our house."

Liu Hua handed over the sesame seed cake: "It's freshly baked, warm."

The pancake was wrapped in oil paper, and Sha Zhu put it directly in his arms and smiled: "I can't bear to eat it directly, so I put it in my arms to warm it up first, at least it's warm."

Liu Hua is now in a completely sluggish state. He has no tasks to complete, but he has already exceeded his target for this year. The machine tool was transported away the next day and taken to the laboratory of Huaqing University for various tests.

Li Huaide slapped his thigh in regret, because now he realized that he had no chance of gaining any benefit this time.

Liu Hua goes to work perfunctorily every day, and actively looks for his girlfriend after get off work. He and Liu Feifei are very affectionate.

Until Li Huaide found Liu Hua and said, "My superiors asked me to inform you that there will be a seminar at Huaqing University this Saturday. You must attend it."

"Seminar, what seminar?"

Li Huaide smiled and said, "You did it yourself, how could you forget it in a blink of an eye? Your PLC thing must have been studied in depth, and experts and professors from all walks of life were summoned. You are the initiator, how could you be absent?"

"I don't have the ability to continue the research." Liu Hua shook his head: "So I don't want to participate in the follow-up of this matter."

"You're right not to participate in the follow-up research." Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction: "But you must go to this seminar, because you are the inventor. At least you have to give a report to everyone."

Li Huaide whispered to Liu Hua: "My father-in-law has told me that next year, you will probably be able to receive a National Advanced Worker Medal, and you may also receive a Natural Science Award, as long as you don't make any mistakes in the next period of time."

"It's an honor."

There were no various medals and titles in those days. The only one was the National Natural Science Award. If you added the National Individual Advanced Worker title, it would be the highest honor for an engineer.

On Saturday, Liu Hua was going to ride his bicycle to Huaqing University, but Liu Huaide had asked the driver to wait outside the courtyard early in the morning. "No need, Brother Han, go and see if the factory manager needs anything. I can ride my bicycle very quickly."

Xiao Han shook his head: "The factory director said that I will follow your instructions all day. You are in the meeting inside and I will wait outside. We cannot let others look down on our steel mill and think that we do not respect experts."

Liu Hua understood what Li Huaide was thinking. It seemed that he was giving preferential treatment to this so-called expert, but in fact, he was doing it for show to others.

Our factory respects experts so much and gives them such high treatment. Those of you who are treated poorly should just keep your mouth shut and don't even think about poaching our employees.

As Li Huaide said, the first item of the seminar was Liu Hua's one and a half hour report, which introduced in detail the functions of PLC and the development envisioned by Liu Hua.

Fortunately, Li Huaide reminded him, so Liu Hua wrote a speech, which won applause at the time.

Experts from all walks of life shared their ideas based on Liu Hua’s report. It has been proven by facts that PLC can be applied to all walks of life.

The experts' vision also strengthened the authorities' determination to vigorously research this project, and they immediately decided to set up PLC research projects and courses in several universities and research institutes.

The leader directly named Liu Hua and asked him to join Huaqing University as a lecturer and researcher, with him as the main person to conduct research on PLC.

As a result, Liu Hua shook his head like a rattle. He said modestly: "Leader, it's not that I don't want to make progress. After all, I am just a high school student with a little bit of imagination. After studying, I can complete this project. It is already a miracle. My wisdom and knowledge reserves are not enough to support me to carry out further research."

The expert from Huaqing University said with a smile: "This is easy. We at Huaqing University can make an exception and admit you to study in our semiconductor major. You can study and research at the same time."

Unfortunately, Liu Hua had already considered this situation, but he still shook his head and refused. He smiled and said, "I may not be suitable for classroom. When I was in school, I didn't concentrate on the classroom. On the contrary, after I came to the factory, I learned while working, and my progress was very good. So if you let me sit in the classroom again, I guess it will be the same effect."

The experts and professors in the audience laughed. Although they were technical leaders in their respective fields, they were also teachers and understood the difficulties of education. There were indeed some people who could not learn in class.

The leader shook his head and said, "Comrade Liu Hua, this is very difficult for me. The higher-ups have already discussed it. You will be the leader of the Huaqing University research project team. Your refusal is a bit sudden and has disrupted our plans."

"We need to find a highly respected expert to lead this research project. I am a haphazard person and am not suitable for such rigorous work."

After the meeting, Huaqing University treated everyone to a good meal in order to demonstrate its reputation as the top university in the country.

Liu Hua was pulled by his leader to sit with him, and next to him was the relevant person in charge of Huaqing University.

The leader asked, "Do you have any other suggestions for this PLC?"

"In fact, I think this PLC has a processor, a storage device, output, and input." Liu Hua said with a smile: "I always feel that if this appearance is changed, it may be a new type of computer."

His words shocked everyone. All the leaders and experts present were stunned.
