Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2460: Show off your skills as soon as you arrive

The next afternoon.

Sijiucheng Railway Station.

Yang Xiaotao stood on the platform, cigarette in hand.

Wang Hao beside him was watching the people passing by vigilantly, holding a sign in his hand.

"Brother Xiao Yang!"

Suddenly, an enthusiastic voice came from the crowd. Yang Xiaotao immediately stepped on the cigarette butt and quickly moved forward.

Wang Hao hurried to catch up.

"Brother Lao Wang!"

Yang Xiaotao came up, looked at the familiar face, and gave him a hug.

Wang Dahai is short in stature, but very strong.

The two patted each other on the back, saying nothing.

"You must have had a hard time on the journey. Come to my house tonight to welcome you!"

"Haha, I brought some snacks and wine too!"

As Wang Dahai was talking, Xiao Niu, who was carrying a lot of things, saluted Yang Xiaotao when he saw him. "Hello, Chief Yang!"

"Little calf, you've grown stronger again!"

"hey-hey!"

Xiao Niu smiled shyly, and Wang Hao stepped forward to help get the things.

The interaction between the two was short, but in the eyes of the two people standing by, true feelings were revealed.

Yang Xiaotao turned around and looked at the two people. Without waiting for Wang Dahai to introduce them, he walked up to one of them and saluted respectfully, "You must be Teacher Shu, right? I am the disciple of Teacher Ye Qisun and the student of Master Qian, Yang Xiaotao!"

Shu Xingbei felt a little sad when he heard Yang Xiaotao's introduction.

He had thought about what the meeting with Yang Xiaotao would be like, but he didn't expect that the other party would meet him in the way of a junior disciple.

Shu Xingbei immediately nodded solemnly with a stern look on his face, "Hello, Comrade Xiao Tao, I am Shu Xingbei!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Teacher Ye was very happy to hear that you were here, but I was busy for the moment, so I came to greet you in person this time. I hope you can forgive me!"

Yang Xiaotao said sincerely that this was not an excuse, but he was really busy.

Chen Fang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences came to the ninth department in the afternoon to discuss matters concerning solar cells. Yang Xiaotao was originally unable to get away, but in order to leave a good impression on Shu Xingbei, he had to come in person!

"no problem, no problem!"

Shu Xingbei smiled. Yang Xiaotao's coming had already shown his sincerity. What else could he ask for?
"This is my good friend and Luda's teacher, Xu Pengcheng!"

"Hello, Mr. Xu, welcome to Sijiu City, and also welcome to our Ninth Department to guide our work!"

Xu Pengcheng quickly reached out and shook Yang Xiaotao's hand, "Minister Yang, you are too polite. Everyone knows that the Nine Ministry's research institute is full of experts. It is a great honor to be able to come and take a look!"

Compared to Shu Xingbei's pride, Xu Pengcheng seems more tactful.

But this kind of person is easier to convince.

"Hey, you guys, you can still chat at the station, let's hurry up!"

Wang Dahai tried to smooth things over, and Yang Xiaotao immediately said with a smile, "Right, right, right, let's go back first. Xiao Wang, hurry up and prepare the car!"

Wang Hao immediately ran out with Xiao Niu.

Everyone got on the bus quickly and the two jeeps quickly left the train station.

Yang Xiaotao personally drove Shu Xingbei and the other person, and talked about the scenery along the way.

However, Shu Xingbei obviously didn't have so many thoughts. After walking for a while, he asked, "Comrade Xiao Tao, I want to ask about the situation you want to study!"

Yang Xiaotao was already prepared for Shu Xingbei's questioning while driving, "Teacher Shu, don't worry!"

"Everything I say now will seem too vague. We're almost at the ninth part. I'll take you around and you can decide whether to participate or not!"

"Don't worry, if you are not satisfied and want to go back to Luda, we won't make things difficult for you!"

"Of course, if you want to participate in this mission, we will take care of everything for you!"

“Including everything in life!”

Yang Xiaotao spoke very confidently, so confidently that Shu Xingbei couldn't find any reason to refute.

And his family is indeed his weak spot.

He can be free and unrestrained when alone, and stick to the bottom line for the dream in his heart.

嗏

For the sake of his family, he can't be too selfish!
Xu Pengcheng reached out and patted his old friend's leg, signaling him not to be anxious.

The car sped up and soon arrived in front of a factory that looked very impressive.

"This used to be our steel rolling mill, then it was converted into a machinery plant, and now it's the headquarters of our ninth department."

Yang Xiaotao explained to the two of them as he passed by the door.

The two of them looked at everything around them through the window.

Trees, grass, flowers, and cement roads.

There are also factories on both sides, and from time to time you can see fleeting steel figures.

More often than not, there are workers running around.

They were wearing the light blue work clothes of the nine departments and walked calmly in the factory.

Everything seems different.

The car drove directly to the entrance of the research institute, Yang Xiaotao got out, and the two stood behind him.

"This is our research institute. Let me show you around!"

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao walked inside. As for Wang Dahai, he was taken to the office by Wang Hao to rest.

"This is the Machine Tool Research Department. They are the team behind the Mercury Machine Tool, one of our nine best machine tools!"

"In other words, this is also the best machine tool in our country!"

The two looked at the few sparse people inside, then raised their heads to look at the sign at the door, not daring to underestimate them.

"This is the Institute of Biology, and next to it is the Institute of Chemistry!"

"Both research institutes are currently conducting research on these topics, and both have reached a critical juncture. Maybe next year you will see the drugs they are researching in the hospital!"

The two of them were particularly respectful after hearing this.

Medicine that cures illnesses is always a precious treasure.

At the same time, the two also realized that their understanding of the Nine Departments was too one-sided.

"This is the Ordnance Research Institute! Don't be fooled by the name, a lot of good things have been researched here!"

Yang Xiaotao came to the door, and Liu Xiangdong just came out. Seeing Yang Xiaotao, he politely asked, "Minister Yang, what are you doing?"

"This is Teacher Shu, this is Teacher Xu, I'll show them around!"

As he spoke, he winked at Liu Xiangdong, who immediately understood and stepped forward enthusiastically, "Hello, Teacher Shu, Teacher Xu!"

"I'm Liu Xiangdong, just call me Xiao Liu!"

As soon as Liu Xiangdong saw their ages, he knew what to address them, especially since Yang Xiaotao personally took them on a tour, his purpose was self-evident.

"Teacher Liu is the director of our Ordnance Research Institute. He led the development and design of the first infrared night vision device and also developed an aiming system for adjusting tank shooting. He is very busy now..."

Liu Xiangdong felt a little embarrassed when he heard the nice things Yang Xiaotao said when introducing him. He had contributed a lot to this, but only part of it.

But the two of them were so busy talking that they didn't notice the expressions of Shu Xingbei and the others when they talked about infrared rays.

Especially Xu Pengcheng showed a curious look.

After a brief chat, Yang Xiaotao led the group forward.

This time, Yang Xiaotao took the two of them on a detour and did not go directly to Mr. Ye, but went to the Alloy Research Institute first.

"This is the Alloy Research Institute. This is the treasure of our Nine Departments!"

“All the special alloys used were researched by them!”

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the research institute in front of him and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Thinking back to those days, they had to suffer so much because of substandard materials.

Later, we laid a solid foundation step by step, and finally we have the current situation. It can be said that the Alloy Research Institute has contributed to every achievement.

The two looked at the Alloy Research Institute and listened to Yang Xiaotao's introduction, their expressions became serious again.

I was a little curious when I saw the stove placed right opposite the door. That thing looked like a stove used by Taoist priests to make elixirs!

"This is the aircraft design institute, and next door is the computer research!"

“Our two main research projects right now!”

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, but the two of them understood the importance of it.

Especially the Aircraft Design Institute. The Baiju fighter jet that caused a lot of noise a while ago was designed and developed by them. Many of those touching stories were broadcasted in their school.

"Teacher Shu, Teacher Xu, this is the Solar Cell Research Institute!"

Finally, the two came to a row of empty bungalows, and Yang Xiaotao pointed to the sign hanging in the front and said.

The two men's eyes were already on the solar panels on an open space not far away, and they were shocked again.

This technology is absolutely rare in China and ranks among the best.

This place is definitely at the forefront of domestic scientific research.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to take the two people in, the sound of conversation in the room attracted the attention of the three people.

"Master Ye, according to the satellite phone requirements proposed by Yang's department, we need to install a frequency converter, power amplifier, signal processor, antenna system, etc. Adding these together, we estimate that at least 200 kilograms will be needed."

"The power amplifier in particular accounts for half of the satellite's weight, and we don't even know where to install it on the satellite."

"Master Ye, we are not exaggerating. The truth is, our Practice One weighs only over 200 kilograms. This has doubled."

"Also, Master Ye, with so many functions, more instructions need to be processed, and this requires larger solar cells to provide energy."

"In this way, the overall weight of the satellite will increase again."

Yang Xiaotao heard that the person speaking was Chen Fang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The purpose of this visit is to negotiate with the Ninth Ministry regarding the right to use the satellite, and we also need to understand the situation of solar cells.

Of course, the most important thing is that the nine ministries provided 5 million yuan in support to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This money has injected vitality into many research projects of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"I know."

Elder Ye's voice sounded slowly. He understood everything Chen Fang said and had also discussed it with Han Sanfeng in private. However, neither of them was a professional and could only give a rough judgment.

Of course, even Yang Xiaotao is just a layman.

Don't underestimate the satellite phone he proposed. He was just talking about it and acted like a hands-off boss.

Han Sanfeng is now in charge of the research and development of satellite phones.

The rapid development of integrated circuits has led to rapid growth in computer research institutes, and the design of telephones for communications has also taken shape.

As for the satellite, Yang Xiaotao plans to ask the Chinese Academy of Sciences to help solve the problem. This is also a last resort.

But now it seems that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also facing difficulties.

And this difficulty is so real.

Just as Chen Fang was waiting for Mr. Ye to come up with a better solution, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "I don't think it's necessary to make such a large signal amplifier."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old man walked in. The old man had a serious expression, the hair on his head stood up like steel needles, and his eyes were filled with strong confidence.

The old man's sudden appearance not only surprised everyone in the room, but also surprised Yang Xiaotao, who was waiting to come in at the door.

I was listening fine at first, but suddenly I felt someone walking past me and said the same words just now.

However, Yang Xiaotao reacted quickly and walked in, but he did not say anything. He just stood aside and watched quietly.

When Xu Hua, Liu Hao and others in the room saw Yang Xiaotao come in, they realized that the person who came in was with them.

At this time, Shu Xingbei first smiled at Mr. Ye. Although the two did not speak, they had recognized each other.

Then he looked at Chen Fang who was speaking.

Chen Fang is not young either, but still much younger than Shu Xingbei.

At this moment, Chen Fang was also looking at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and he also noticed Ye Lao's expression, and he knew at a glance that this was an acquaintance.

But he didn't have any impression of this person.

Just as Chen Fang was thinking, Shu Xingbei walked to the blackboard beside him, picked up the eraser, wrote down the words, and then drew a few times on it with chalk.

Chen Fang was attracted by the pattern on the blackboard because those simple strokes were the trajectory of the satellite.

I suddenly became curious about this old man.

At this time, Shu Xingbei turned around and looked at everyone, especially Chen Fang, and said, "The satellite is at an altitude of more than 30,000 kilometers. If you want to receive the electromagnetic waves emitted by the ground, you need a signal receiver, and then use a power amplifier to amplify the signal."

The communication process was described in just a few simple sentences, making everyone in the room respect the old man in front of them. Even Yang Xiaotao crossed his arms and showed a serious look.

"That huge power amplifier you mentioned is not necessary at all."

"Everyone knows that the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves is very fast, almost the same as the speed of light in a vacuum."

"So, to send a radio signal over a distance of 30,000 kilometers, you don't need a device with too much power. Based on my research on radio, only about three watts is needed to achieve the effect."

"As a receiving amplification device, it doesn't need to be too big. A hundred kilograms is totally unnecessary. We just need to increase the cross-sectional area. Ten kilograms will be enough."

Shu Xingbei finally said affirmatively that although he had not done much research on satellite phones, he had been researching radar and radio for many years.

So when the other party said that an amplifier weighing more than 100 kilograms was needed, he couldn't help but walk in to refute it.

Snap, snap, snap
Suddenly, applause broke out.

Everyone looked over and saw Yang Xiaotao smiling and clapping, and then Xu Hua and others quickly stretched out their hands.

The office immediately became lively.

Even Chen Fang and Mr. Ye raised their hands and applauded.

At this moment, Shu Xingbei realized that he had fallen into his old habit again.

It was like this in the past. Whenever I encountered something that I thought was wrong, I would stand up and refute it directly without considering the other person's feelings at all.

Because of this, he offended many people and was forced to leave the city and the career he had been fighting for.

But the scene before him caught him off guard.

"Teacher Shu, it's been a long time since we last met. Long time no see."

Mr. Ye stood up, walked over and stretched out his right hand.

The two held each other tightly.

"Teacher Ye, long time no see. You have grown old too."

Shu Xingbei sighed.

Thinking back to when we first met, and then looking at how much things have changed now, I feel inexplicably sad.

"I'm seventy-one, how can I not be old?"

"But it's good that you came this time. I was really worried that you would be stubborn again and not come."

Mr. Ye also expressed his feelings. In his opinion, coming to the Ninth Department was the best choice.

You can do your own research and still be protected.

This is simply the best choice for someone like him.

And Shu Xingbei is the same type of person as him.

Shu Xingbei felt Mr. Ye’s concern and nodded silently.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Shu hasn't agreed yet. He just came to take a look and make a decision."

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to interrupt, but before Shu Xingbei could answer, Master Ye scolded him, "You kid, you have no foresight. Teacher Shu has solved such a big problem for us. If this is not an agreement, what is it?"

"Hurry up and get busy. Don't disturb us here to chat about the past."

After that, he waved his hand to Yang Xiaotao and said, "Teacher Shu, this is one of my students, Chen Fang, who works at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

Yang Xiaotao understood what he meant, "Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away."

After saying that, he turned and left, but before turning around he glanced at Shu Xingbei. Seeing that the other party did not object, he knew that the matter was settled.

By that time, the matter will be done and the other party will not be able to regret it.

At this time, Shu Xingbei also introduced Xu Pengcheng, who came with them, to Mr. Ye. The four of them met and then sat down in the office and started chatting.
