The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

It's important to know that Director Gu is no stranger to the world; this 403 Research Institute has been established for several years.

It's simply impossible for a project to go from initiation to calculation, drawing, and testing in less than a few years.

Even if it's plagiarism, it shouldn't be this fast, right?

Keep in mind that it's only been half a month, Gu Zhi Qiu asked:

"Is the paper finished, or the blueprints finished?"

He Yuzhu frowned, then said:

"Everything is done!"

Gu Zhi Qiu was even more shocked and disliked He Yu Zhu. Young people are just young people; no wonder other departments don't want them.

However, since I am in charge of logistics support, I might as well go and take a look if He Yuzhu wants me to.

We'll have the experts give this young man a good talking-to then.

Then Gu Zhi Qiu nodded, put down what he was holding, and casually said:

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

It's no wonder Gu Zhi Qiu didn't care; after all, what can you do in half a month?

This is common sense. He Yuzhu didn't expect Gu Zhiqi to think so much. He took Gu Zhiqi to the Seventh Division's base.

Upon arriving at the base, He Yuzhu asked:

"Director Gu, do you understand all these machines?"

When Director Gu arrived at the warehouse, he was shocked to see the completely renovated warehouse. Was this really the warehouse he had organized?

The hoisting platform, crane, tracks, and partitions—all brand-new machines—were clearly not the ones I had originally acquired.

Gu Zhi Qiu asked in utter shock:

"All of this, all of it, you did it?"

Chapter 116: The Shocked Ministry of Industry

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yeah, is there anyone else in the seventh department? I made all of these myself. Take a look, what do you think?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi realized that she had misunderstood He Yuzhu. This He Yuzhu was truly remarkable, regardless of how the efficiency of these machine tools was compared to before.

However, even these machine tools can fill the gaps in the country's industrial facilities.

With that in mind, Gu Zhi Qiu put on gloves and began experimenting, even though she didn't understand the technology.

However, I do know how to operate each job; otherwise, how would I buy these things?

If we get fooled, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

As Gu Zhiqi tested each machine tool, he was deeply impressed, knowing his own skills firsthand.

Calling someone a first-class worker is just self-aggrandizement; at best, they're just a skilled operator.

However, using these machines, Gu Zhi Qiu began to examine himself and found that his skills were more than enough to qualify him as a level-two worker.

Gu Zhi Qiu knew it wasn't because of his own skill, but because the machines here were amazing.

He Yuzhu introduced;

"I redesigned all of these machine tools, and all the parts were made using the previous machine tools."

All the machine tools were redesigned, which increased efficiency by almost two times and accuracy by less than two times, about 180%.

"The old machine tools are no longer needed; please return them. From now on, I will be using these machine tools!"

Keep in mind that He Yuzhu lowered the data.

If they were truly full-time employees, their efficiency and accuracy could be even higher.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi knew she had struck gold. Then, upon hearing He Yuzhu's reply, Gu Zhiqi hurriedly said:

"No, this machine tool has to be handed over. Anyway, you can make it, so why don't you make another one!"

Also, are there blueprints for these?

He Yuzhu said:

"I have prepared everything you need to hand over. There are two sets of each item in the warehouse next door."

We've run out of materials, so we can't make any more. This place is just an experimental site; we can't produce much here.

The drawings are available, along with the parts for these machines, assembly instructions, maintenance and repair manuals, and user manuals.

Also, never use this machine to assess job levels!

Gu Zhiqi asked:

"What?"

He Yuzhu explained:

"With these machines, even a first-level worker can pass the exam to become a third-level worker, or even a senior worker."

With so many highly skilled jobs, how much additional expenditure will the country have to spend?

Furthermore, it's unfair to those who are truly highly skilled workers. Why should their skills be better than others, even though they are all at the same level?

After hearing He Yuzhu's explanation, Gu Zhiqi said:

“I hadn’t even considered this until you mentioned it. You’re right, we still need to discuss this with the higher-ups.”

However, Comrade He Yuzhu, you have done a great service! I will arrange for someone to report it right now!

He Yuzhu nodded;

"Okay, I'll go get the blueprints for you!"

After speaking, He Yuzhu led Gu Zhiqi into his office and then opened the safe.

It was filled with all sorts of blueprints.

He Yuzhu took the items out, placed them on the long table, and said to Gu Zhiqi:

"Director, these are all hand-drawn by me: blueprints, instructions, installation procedures, repair methods, and maintenance guides."

Everything is here. This is a unique copy; you'd better make a copy and keep the original for your records.

Then hand it in; if this thing gets lost, it's gone forever!

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"I know that, that's how it's always been done. Okay, you wait here, I'll go arrange for someone!"

After saying that, Gu Zhi Qiu ran out. After a while, a group of soldiers arrived and silently packed up all the things.

After finishing the scroll, he left. He Yuzhu saw that Gu Zhi Qiu left without saying anything to him.

Then we prepared to make the next things, since after submitting these things, apart from various rewards, there was nothing left for us to do.

I need to get on with the next steps. I'm thinking about how there's a nationwide shortage of steel, and there's a complete lack of specialty steel.

It's important to know that special steel comes in many different grades.

He Yuzhu plans to develop a method for converter steelmaking. His material level is now level 8, which means he can even manufacture electric arc furnaces.

However, the domestic power industry is not very developed yet, so doing this would be too advanced.

However, converter steelmaking has been used in later generations, the only question is whether it has been improved or not.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu started writing. He Yuzhu knew the principle: using oxygen as an oxidant to oxidize impurities in the ore, such as silicon, manganese, carbon, and phosphorus.

The oxidation process releases a lot of heat, making the temperature inside the furnace high enough.

This can save a lot of fuel.

As for the equipment, He Yuzhu also knew that there were three suppliers: main raw materials, bulk materials, and ferroalloys.

These include iron cans, torpedo can cars, iron ladles, scrap steel adding equipment, overhead cranes, iron baking, iron pretreatment, underground silos, conveyor belts, furnace top high-level silos and feeding, weighing, and adding equipment, etc.

He Yuzhu was confident about all of these, mainly focusing on safety measures.

He Yuzhu wrote with divine inspiration, continuing to write.

Just as He Yuzhu was working on steelmaking technology, Gu Zhiqi arrived at the Ministry of Industry with some materials.

The leaders of the Ministry of Industry saw Gu Zhiqi and then said:

"Oh my, Gu Caishen is here! What amazing inventions have you come up with this time?"

Looking at the leader, Gu Zhi Qiu smiled and said:

"Minister Chen, we've brought you some really good stuff this time!"

Minister Chen asked curiously:

"Oh, what good stuff?"

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"Machine tools, complete sets of machine tools, belonging to us!"
