In the experimental workshop.
"Comrade, come and have some tea. This is the tea I brought specially for you."
"Hey, let me come. How can I let you move such a heavy box? Let me help you."
"Brother, you may not know that I admire you scientists the most. My dream when I was a child was to be a scientist and contribute to the country when I grow up."
...
It has to be said that Xu Damao was born to be a receptionist, as if he had honey on his lips.
Most of the comrades in the expert team were idiots who stayed in the laboratory all day long. They had never been treated like this before, and they soon started chatting enthusiastically with Xu Damao.
When Wang Weidong came in, he saw this very lively scene.
If it weren't for the cold equipment everywhere in the workshop, he would have thought it was a tea party!
Seeing Wang Weidong come in, the comrades of the expert team immediately stood up: "Director Liu, you are here. We have prepared what we need and can start testing now."
Xu Damao felt inexplicably timid when he saw Wang Weidong, but as the leader of the reception team, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Director Liu, hello, I am Xu Damao, publicity officer of the steel rolling mill. I live in the courtyard. We It’s a neighbor.”
Wang Weidong glanced at Xu Damao indifferently: "Comrade Xu, you're done."
He was a little surprised by Xu Damao's appearance.
In the original work, although Xu Damao is known as a propaganda officer, he is actually just a worker showing movies. How can he be responsible for reception work?
Secretly keeping this doubt in mind, Wang Weidong began to arrange the test.
The principle of the test is very simple. It uses the electric energy released by the battery to drive the electric hoist, allowing the electric hoist to repeatedly lift objects weighing up to 1 ton, and then calculates its effective power.
The electric hoist was ready, and everyone turned their attention to Wang Weidong, including Xu Damao, who quietly approached the security guard.
Wang Weidong walked up to the security guard and said, "Please open the box."
"Yes!" The security guard replied crisply, then opened his uniform, took off the ordinary key from his belt, and inserted it into the keyhole of the box.
Twist gently.
With a "click" sound, the box slowly opened, revealing a wooden box.
Seeing the wooden box, Xu Damao's heart hanging in his throat was relieved. After accepting the task of Deputy Director Li, he had been troubled by one thing.
That is, if the appearance of the battery is too complicated, he will not be able to write it down.
Xu Damao couldn't help but said: "This, this is a battery? Why is it made of wood?"
An expert from the experimental team was about to speak when Wang Weidong glanced sideways and swallowed his words.
He looked at Xu Damao thoughtfully and said, "This is the battery."
"Yes...yes..." Xu Damao shivered, shrank his neck, and forced a smile.
He felt that he seemed to have talked too much.
The test officially began. Wang Weidong took out the electric rope, connected the battery and the electric hoist, and then walked to the switch of the electric hoist: "The recorder is ready, the first lifting officially begins."
When the switch was pressed, the electric hoist made a buzzing sound in the astonished eyes of the recorder. The iron hook slowly contracted, and a one-ton steel ingot was slowly lifted up.
The members of the expert team and Xu Damao who were watching couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
It is surprising enough that a palm-sized battery can drive an electric hoist.
Now it can actually lift a ton of weight.
Xu Damao saw the weight slowly being lifted to the roof, and he understood why Deputy Director Li was eyeing this battery.
Some regrets entered his heart.
"The recorder is ready, the second lifting officially begins."
"The recorder is ready, the third lifting officially begins."
....
"remember
The recorder prepares, and the twenty-sixth lifting officially begins. "
.....
All morning, the empty car workshop was silent, with only Wang Weidong's steady voice and the "ding" sound of the electric hoist's steel chain pulling heavy objects.
The members of the expert panel remained stunned.
When it was almost noon, Xu Damao remembered his responsibilities and quickly took advantage of the end of a lifting to whisper: "Comrades, I, I will arrange meals for you."
Then, he quietly slipped out of the workshop.
Since Xu Damao was in charge of reception, the security guard guarding the door did not stop him.
Xu Damao felt that the air outside was a little difficult to breathe, so he took a big breath and walked forward.
He had just taken two steps when a voice came from behind him: "Da Mao, where are you going? Are you going to the cafeteria for lunch?"
Xu Damao turned around and saw Qin Huairu appearing not far away at some unknown time.
He cursed in his mind: This bitch must be trying to exchange steamed buns for steamed buns again.
He looked arrogant and said: "I am responsible for reception today, receiving the expert group from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so the canteen must be open."
Qin Huairu looked envious when she heard this: "Okay, Damao, you're in the mix now! What's going on, do you want to take sister with you too?"
As she said that, she lightly flipped her hair, licked her bright red lips, gave her a flirtatious look, and said, "After dinner, I will go to the small warehouse and let you rub it."
When Xu Damao saw her coquettish look, his bones were numb, and he opened his mouth to agree.
However, I soon thought that there were serious things to do.
He shook his head and said, "Not today, wait until tonight. I'll treat you to a restaurant tonight."
"Who cares about your restaurant?" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Xu Damao, twisted her butt and walked away.
She is not stupid. In the small warehouse, the most she can do is let Xu Damao rub her along.
If he really went out to a restaurant with Xu Damao, he would definitely be eaten.
Qin Jingru was harmed by Xu Damao just because she went out to a restaurant with Xu Damao!
"Bah, you are playing tricks with me!" Xu Damao spat hard as he felt sorry for not eating any meat.
Arriving at Deputy Director Li's office, Xu Damao described the style of the box to Deputy Director Li.
Deputy Director Li frowned: "You mean, that battery is just a wooden box with no paint on it?"
"Yes, yes. The security guard and I have become friends. Standing nearby, we can see clearly." Xu Damao deliberately exaggerated his abilities in order to show his merit.
"How can a wooden box become a battery? Is the battery installed in the wooden box?" Deputy Director Li frowned and thought for a moment before coming to this conclusion.
"Forget it, never mind, that's fine. Let's just make a box and exchange the fake for the real one. As for the fake battery that has no power, that problem can be easily solved. It's just that the power has run out. As long as the batteries leave the rolling mill, if the expert team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences tries to cause trouble again, Lao Yang will have to stand by us for the reputation of the factory."
After Deputy Director Li made up his mind, he stood up and walked out.
Xu Damao's timid voice came from behind: "Well, what about me?"
"Of course you...go back immediately to receive you. Don't let those people discover your abnormality!"
"Yes, yes..." Xu Damao always felt that Deputy Director Li was taking things for granted, but at this time he had no way out and could only follow Deputy Director Li until the end.
....
Deputy Director Li came to the fifth workshop and found a master craftsman and asked him to build a wooden box according to Xu Damao's description.
Then, install eight AA batteries in the wooden box and choose two electric ropes of the same color to install.
"Old Zhao, how have I treated you over the years?"
"Okay, okay, of course it's okay! Without you, Director Li, I would have been taken away by the security department for carrying steel nails."
"you know
That's fine, you have this matter in your heart today and can't tell anyone. "
"Director, don't worry, even if my father entrusts me with a dream, I won't tell him!"
"Hey, you are really a sensible person. Don't worry, I will keep your credit in mind."
Seeing the old master's lowered eyebrows, Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction, put the wooden box in his arms, and came outside the cafeteria.
At this time, Xu Damao had handed over the meals, and the cooks in the canteen were busy in the operation room.
Silly Zhu had already entered the fence, but it did not affect the daily operation of the canteen.
Just kidding, how can such a big capital not have a few good cooks? There are no private restaurants now, working as a cook in a state-run tavern, and having fun in a steel rolling mill.
No, as soon as the news was released, several cooks came, some at level seven, some at level six, and some at level five.
All of them have better cooking skills than Shazhu.
Liu Lan was picking vegetables. When she saw Deputy Director Li, she wiped her hands and said to the team leader: "Old man, I have to go out for something."
After saying that, regardless of the old man's lack of agreement, he slipped out of the cafeteria.
Laotu opened his mouth, looked at Liu Lan's figure disappearing at the door, and shook his head helplessly.
The few little chefs next to him all showed disdain and started talking about it.
"Tsk tsk, do you really think that the cafeteria is your own home? You can leave and come when you want?"
"Hey, stop talking, there's someone above me."
"Boss? Hey, don't tell me, that's really what happened."
When the group leader heard the discussion, he frowned and interrupted them: "Okay, stop talking."
Deputy Director Li is a very mean person, and he likes to retaliate against others.
Once he hears the discussion, although he won't say anything on the surface, he will definitely put some shoes on the cafeteria behind his back.
.....
Liu Lan walked out of the cafeteria with her head held high and walked up to Deputy Director Li: "How are you doing? What do you want me to do?"
Deputy Director Li pinched his eyebrows speechlessly. This woman was too stupid. What if someone heard this kind of thing?
He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was around.
"Come on." He pulled Liu Lan to the small warehouse aside, took out the wooden box from his arms, and said: "I have arranged lunch for the expert group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Research Institute in the guest house. If they agree to go to the guest house, If you want to eat, you can take the opportunity to sneak into the workshop and use this box to replace the identical box inside.
If the expert team members must eat in the workshop, find an opportunity to switch.
Understand? "
Just replace it with a wooden box, what’s the big deal!
Liu Lan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this, but..."
As she spoke, she looked at Deputy Director Li with expectant eyes.
Deputy Director Li put his arm around her plump body: "Don't worry, I can't miss your money. Also, if you finish this matter, I will transfer you to the logistics department. There is a shortage there." The one who looks after the warehouse."
Working in the warehouse is much easier than working as a helper in the cafeteria.
In the canteen, you have to pick vegetables, carry noodles bags, and do cleaning work. To guard the warehouse, just sit behind the desk and keep an eye on the workers who come to pick up the goods.
Liu Lan nodded excitedly: "Don't worry, I promise to handle it properly for you."
Seeing her silly look, Deputy Director Li had a hint of hidden disdain on his lips.
This woman is really stupid.
Not just anyone can be a warehouse guard. Regardless of the relationship, you must be a regular employee of the steel rolling mill.
And Liu Lan is just a temporary worker.
...
At noon.
Xu Damao saw that the comrades in the expert team were still busy testing batteries and had no intention of taking a rest.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards
He said loudly: "Comrades, you have been busy all morning, are you hungry? It is our honor for you to come to our steel rolling mill. The factory leader specially asked the canteen to prepare a table of dishes. Everyone, please go to the guest house. Have a meal."
Those comrades involved in the testing work were indeed hungry, and they all turned their attention to Wang Weidong.
Wang Weidong put down the controller in his hand, took a deep look at Xu Damao and said: "Time is a bit urgent. All tests must be completed today. Going to the guest house will take up too much time. Comrade Xu, please ask the canteen to deliver the food here. .”
"Ah?! This, this isn't appropriate. The workshop is in a mess, there isn't even a table." Xu Damao said.
Wang Weidong smiled and said: "We came to your steel rolling mill to work, not to enjoy ourselves. As for the table, that's easy to handle. Isn't there a workbench over there? Move it here and it will be a dining table."
The comrades in the expert group also nodded in agreement with Wang Weidong's opinion.
Seeing this, Xu Damao could only sneer and nod: "He is indeed an expert from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His spirit of working hard and forgetting to eat and sleep is very worthy of our learning. I will go and notify the canteen to deliver the food here."
.....
Ten minutes later, Liu Lan came to the workshop with a small chef and a dozen aluminum lunch boxes.
Putting the lunch box on the table, Liu Lan said with a smile: "Everyone, come and try the skills of our canteen chef. Let me tell you, in order to help you prepare this meal, our canteen has allocated half a month's meat quota." It’s all used up.”
"Thank you very much. When the test is over, I will apply to the leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for subsidies." A comrade from the Chinese Academy of Sciences smelled the fragrant food and quickly put down his work and came over.
Other comrades also gathered around, even the security guard was no exception. After all, this is the workshop of a steel rolling mill, and we are all worker brothers. Who would have bad intentions?
I have to say that the food cooked by the level 5 chef is much better than the food cooked by Sha Zhu.
Wang Weidong held the bowl, ate a large bowl of rice in one breath, poured a glass of boiling water, and walked aside to rest while drinking.
When passing by the battery, Wang Weidong was stunned.
.....
