In the office of the headquarters, the person in charge, Shen Youliang, saw Yan Jiecheng and the others coming and hurriedly greeted them.
"Director Yan, Director Xie, and Expert Chen are here. Did you have a good rest last night?"
Several people responded with a smile.
Shen Youliang took Yan Jiecheng and talked about the situation in the Thirty Mile Wind Zone.
Although Xie Genshi and Chen Bo both enjoyed regular treatment, Yan Jiecheng was only a deputy director.
But even though there is no formula for the content of power proposed by Tian Fengyi today, everyone has understood it since ancient times.
As a system person, Shen Youliang naturally knew who the most powerful director in the department was.
Regardless of what the Director of the Long March said, the division chiefs of the department grabbed a lot of them, but for the various units below, the division chiefs are what they need to pay attention to.
Who has the most real power in a ministry?
Many people think he is the minister.
Zhao Dehan said without spending any money, he was the director.
In the ministry system, the division is the most basic unit, and the power of the division chief is actually the power of execution. Often, a division chief proposes a specific plan, which after being reported and discussed at various levels, eventually becomes a rigid regulation.
Of course, no matter how big or small the power is, it all serves the people and cannot be arbitrary.
Shen Youliang knew the big and small kings, and Yan Jie became the master everywhere.
After Shen Youliang introduced the situation, he called a man in his thirties.
The skin on this man's face was dark and rough, and there were chapped wounds from the cold in some places.
"Director Yan, this is Shi Dunzi, the on-site person in charge of Sanlifeng District. Let him introduce the details to you."
Yan Jiecheng and others listened quietly to Shi Dunzi's explanation of the situation at the scene, which was pretty much what he expected.
Yan Jiecheng had already made some calculations in his mind, and he would wait until the ice and snow melted to conduct an on-site inspection before he could come up with a solution.
Now that the roads are blocked due to heavy snow, everyone has no work to do.
Yan Jiecheng started chatting with Shi Dunzi.
It turns out that this stone pier has been here since the construction of the railway began, which took ten years.
Yan Jiecheng not only sighed: "Master Shi, you are still awesome. You have more than ten years of railway construction experience."
Shi Dunzi said with a simple smile:
"In 1952, when the railway officially started construction from Jincheng, I was already a veteran with two years of railway construction experience. In fact, I was only 17 years old that year."
After hearing this, Lao Xie glanced at Yan Jiecheng, but he didn't expect that this man also started his railway career in his teens.
Shi Dunzi continued: "I am from HD. In 1950, shortly after the founding of the country, construction of the railway from Chengji to Jincheng began, and a large number of workers were needed.
The brother of a friend of mine happened to be in charge of HD recruitment, so my friend and I came to build the railway. "
"It's not easy to travel so far to build a railway." Lao Xie sighed.
Shi Dunzi continued: "The reason why I came to the northwest to build the railway far away from my hometown was actually because of my family's difficulties.
I remember that during the recruitment promotion, the railway construction workers were given 3 pounds of wheat as wages every day.
This was very tempting for rural families, so my friend and I took a three-day drive to Chengji.
Because I was young, my first job at the construction site was to move piles of cement and unstitch the bags to make it easier for the workers to mix.
In this way, I continued to work until the Chengji-Jincheng railway was completed.
In 1952, I followed the construction team to build a railway from Jincheng to the Western Region. Unexpectedly, I would go all the way west and spend the past ten years in the Western Region.
I was in the ninth company of our work area, and the first construction site at that time was dozens of kilometers away from Jincheng.
I remember that when the team started, more than 1,000 people lined up in a long queue, carrying backpacks, and passed through the urban area of Jincheng like troops rushing to the front line. The scene was quite spectacular.
We waved to the crowds on both sides of the road and shouted to build the railway to the Western Regions. Everyone's face was filled with smiles and enthusiasm.
After arriving at the construction site, I began to learn masonry work, which is to use stones to build enclosures to protect the roadbed and bridge piers from damage.
In this way, we marched all the way to the Western Regions until 1958, when the railway crossed the Hongliu River at the junction of the two places and entered the Western Regions.
At that time, a bridge was to be built over the Hongliu River, located near Xingxingxia. It was summer when we were constructing here, and high temperature and drought seriously troubled the team.
Due to the lack of water, the work area sent a team to look for water. They found a bitter well near Xingxingxia.
The water was muddy and bitter, and after drinking it, the stool was black.
In this way, we overcame many difficulties and worked in the Gobi Desert for three or four months to build the Hongliu River Bridge.
As the team continued to advance toward the Western Region, I was filled with pride as I looked at the railroad tracks laid on the bridge.
Everyone chanted the slogan of building the railway to the Western Regions and headed towards the more desolate Gobi Desert of the Western Regions.
When the wind is strong, it is dry, when the wind is small, it is dry, when there is no wind, it is dry.
Seeing that the project is coming to an end, there are only dozens of kilometers left to complete our railway. But this time we encountered difficulties. The wind was so strong that there was nothing we could do.
The technical staff at the headquarters just shook their heads.
Fortunately, Commander Shen said that he had already reported it to the ministry, and the ministry would send experts to solve the problem for us.
We have been waiting for this for a long time, and these guys are coming from the capital. As a result, the day was not as good as expected and it snowed heavily. "
Yan Jiecheng was extremely shocked after hearing Shi Dunzi's words.
In Shi Dunzi, an ordinary person, Yan Jiecheng saw a bloody character with great ambition to make sacrifices and dare to teach the sun and moon to change the sky, which is heart-stirring and inspiring.
This nation has gone through many hardships and remained indomitable, and the national blood flowing in its blood has kept it alive.
This surging and passionate national spirit makes the Chinese people full of vigor and vitality. Gentlemen have the pride of struggle for self-improvement.
Build the railway to the Western Regions. This slogan has influenced the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
Shi Dunzi's experience in the past ten years can be said to be a microcosm of the development of the Republic's railways in these ten years.
Yan Jiecheng said: "Don't worry, Master Shi, we will definitely solve the problem in the wind zone this time. We won't leave until God gives it some mercy."
Shi Dunzi was very happy after hearing this. He looked at Yan Jiecheng and said to himself: This expert from the capital looks fair and clean, but he also has a sense of heroism.
Seeing Shi Dunzi leaving happily, Yan Jiecheng said to the two of them:
"Meeting Master Shi today reminded me of what the leader said, 'The masses are the real heroes, but we ourselves are often naive and ridiculous. If we don't understand this, we can't get the basic knowledge.'
This is reflected in Master Shi’s spirit.
He may not understand soil mechanics, but I don’t know what structural mechanics is.
But believe it or not, he will always unconsciously choose the optimal solution when constructing.
Even better than what we calculated on paper.
This is the wisdom of workers and the wisdom of the people. "
After hearing this, Lao Xie said: "I have actually encountered this matter as director. During the previous construction, some masters knew nothing about theory, but they could always do things that were in line with the calculation results."
Chen Bo also said on the side: "Director Yan, Director Xie, the wisdom of the working people is endless. They have summarized the rules in long-term production practice and passed them on word of mouth.
However, this is the result of a huge population base and a lot of time.
And when we study, we can quickly learn the experience and wisdom of our predecessors.
Of course, there are specialties in the arts, and people’s energy is limited after all, so everyone will have shortcomings.
However, being able to persist in the Gobi desert for ten years, no matter what the reason, is admirable, and they can all be called heroes. "
Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie applauded and said, "What Lao Chen said is very clear."
Yan Jiecheng also didn't expect that Chen Bo didn't talk much. As a result, I turned out to be so eloquent.
