Chapter 2562 The Envy of the Dog Owner
The rain on the Tianjie Street is as crisp as the grass, but the grass color is far away but not close.

The most important thing is the one-year spring benefits.

It’s really raining in Sijiucheng.

It was also during the spring equinox that a light rain covered the imperial capital. The red walls, green tiles and cement roads all became hazy, becoming poetic in the eyes of poets.

But in the eyes of office workers, the rain is annoying.

When he arrived at the office, Yang Xiaotao shook off the rain on his body and then sat back at his desk.

"Minister Yang, these require your approval."

As soon as he sat down, Lou Xiao'e put a pile of documents on the table. Yang Xiaotao glanced at the pile next to him and sat on the chair helplessly, then he patted his cheeks hard, and then he perked up.

Handling documents is not an easy task. If handled improperly, serious consequences may occur.

And among the documents that can be sent here for him to sign and review, which one is simple?

Therefore, no matter how helpless Yang Xiaotao is, he will enter working mode the moment he picks up the pen.

So, going to work is very tiring.

The morning was spent in a pile of documents.

When we were having lunch at noon, the sky outside was still overcast and the rain was still falling.

Yang Xiaotao walked out of the office carrying the lunch box, and then saw Yang Youning coming out.

"Old Yang!"

Yang Xiaotao raised the lunch box in his hand, and Yang Youning stepped forward quickly, "Together!"

The two of them held umbrellas and walked towards the restaurant under the eaves.

"He called again this morning. What do you think we should do?"

"Why are you looking for me instead of you? What's the matter?"

Yang Youning started to complain, and Yang Xiaotao chuckled, "Don't blame me. External administration is your job. Why are you complaining?"

Yang Youning sighed, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't mind. After all, it's just a normal interaction!"

"But look, how can you keep following behind?"

"I call eight times a day to urge them to do their jobs. I don't even dare to stay in the office any longer now."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Then let Xiaoqiang take it!"

"Him? Come on, he's already exposed after just a few words. He has no sense of propriety."

Yang Youning complained again, and then asked, "By the way, what happened to this satellite phone?"

Yang Xiaotao shrugged. "What else can I do? If we can't increase production capacity, we can just do it in the laboratory."

"Not really. Haven't we already finished four episodes in the past two days? That's pretty fast!"

Yang Xiaotao was somewhat speechless after hearing this. "Old Yang, four movies in half a month, even if it's six movies a month, how many movies can you make in a year?"

"How many years will it take to complete 3,000 copies?"

Yang Youning stopped talking.

"We are now trying to figure out whether we can simplify and modularize production!"

"If it doesn't work, we can only resort to manual labor!"

"Manpower? Are we still short of people?"

Yang Youning felt that Yang Xiaotao was joking, and ended up getting a cold eye from Yang Xiaotao again.

"Are you kidding me? This is a high-tech product. How can someone without some education and technical experience use it?"

“People can even connect electrodes incorrectly!”

"I have already agreed with Dean Yu and Dean Qu that after Qingming Festival, they will send students here for internship. This time, I will practice using the satellite phone!"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Yang Youning immediately heard the hidden meaning, "You mean, we will start trying large-scale production after Qingming Festival?"

"Yes, I have this plan."

Yang Xiaotao did not deny it. "The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. Only by seizing the opportunity to expand our influence can we gain the greatest advantage."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the third canteen.

"Yangbu, Yangbu!"

"Director Yang..."

After greeting everyone, the two came to the queue and waited for their meals.

"Oh, there's one more thing you need to know."

Yang Youning suddenly remembered the Women's Volleyball League, and then said, "The Women's Volleyball League is about to start. You have to go to the first game."

"When?"

"April 1st!"

"April 1st?"

Yang Xiaotao added in his mind, it’s April Fools’ Day, this must be a joke.

But Yang Youning probably wouldn't joke.

"With whom?"

"In our first match, we will face the team from Sijiucheng Sports School. They are quite strong!"

"Okay, remind me then."

"Ok!"

As they were talking, Yang Xiaotao came to the window and put the lunch box in the window. "Two vegetarian dishes and two steamed buns."

The kitchen helper who was serving food was a little hesitant when he heard what Yang Xiaotao said, "Boss Yang, how about you order some meat dishes? There are still a lot of them!"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "No, vegetables are fine too, just give us some vegetarian food!"

The kitchen helper had no choice but to serve Yang Xiaotao a portion of stewed cabbage and a portion of shredded potatoes.

Yang Youning, who was behind him, also asked for two portions of ingredients, took a steamed bun, followed Yang Xiaotao to the table and sat down.

"Director Yang, Director Yang!"

The two of them had just taken a few bites when Xu Ning quickly came over with a lunch box and sat down next to Yang Youning.

"Xiao Xu, you look like you have good news!"

"Are you getting married?"

Yang Xiaotao started jokingly, and Xu Ning blushed and lowered his head to stir the food with chopsticks.

Yang Youning on the side sighed, and then said to Yang Xiaotao, "You don't know who Xiao Xu likes!"

"Who?"

Yang Xiaotao asked curiously. Xu Ning hurriedly pulled Yang Youning to stop him from saying anything, but Yang Youning was quick to speak and said directly, "Lou Xiao'e from your room!"

"Hmm? Lou Xiao'e? Sure!"

"Xiao Xu, come on, I'm rooting for you!"

When Yang Xiaotao heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and gave an encouraging look.

But as soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Xu Ning gave a bitter smile.

"Director Yang, please stop talking. Comrade Lou Xiao'e has clearly rejected it!"

"Why? I saw you guys having dinner together the day before yesterday!"

Yang Youning said with some gossip.

Xu Ning scratched his head, "Maybe it's not appropriate."

“Maybe I’m not good enough!”

Hearing Xu Ning say this, Yang Youning subconsciously glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and then comforted him, "It's okay, it's not like there are no women. If she's not suitable, there are others."

"I think Comrade Liu Lixue is not bad either."

cough cough cough

As soon as Yang Youning finished speaking, Xu Ning choked up and waved his hands, "No, no, my family has already arranged a blind date for me, so I won't talk about this anymore."

Seeing Xu Ning like this, Yang Youning didn't know what to say.

Yang Xiaotao guessed in his heart that he had already pursued her. Okay, this guy is just unlucky. Why not choose anyone else but these two good comrades?

"Xu Gong, what good news do you have?"

Yang Xiaotao brought the topic back and asked.

Xu Ning also calmed down and said, "Director Yang, after a period of research, we have made great progress in improving the circuit board."

"How big?"

"The original circuit board was 18 centimeters long and 12 centimeters long. We made a breakthrough in some of the structures and used integrated circuits to reduce the size of the entire circuit board to 13 centimeters by 10 centimeters."

"The total area is 86 square centimeters less, and the thickness is one centimeter less than before!"

As soon as Xu Ning finished talking about the data, Yang Xiaotao gestured with his hands. The smaller the circuit board, the smaller it would mean the size of the phone would change.

Yang Xiaotao compared it in his mind and thought that it was about the same size as the big mobile phones of later generations.

“It’s still a bit big and needs to be improved!”

Xu Ning nodded, "Yes!"

"Also, as technology improves, satellite phones must keep up. We can improve production through practice."

“Yes, we will implement it as soon as possible.”

After the three of them finished their meal, Yang Xiaotao followed Xu Ning to the research institute. He wanted to see the development of the satellite.

Now, after receiving the first payment, the communications satellite project has been launched normally.

Moreover, under the leadership of Wang Can, the Ninth Department is building a satellite production workshop, which is mainly based on the workshop of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Of course, because the Ninth Ministry provided ample financial support, the workshop built this time was larger and more advanced than the one at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

When I arrived at the entrance of the research institute, I saw Chen Fang and Wang Can and others discussing a design drawing.

Yang Xiaotao walked to a seat nearby and sat down without disturbing anyone.

It can be heard that the other party is discussing the weight of the satellite.

This is also an important problem that plagues rocket launches.

Yang Xiaotao estimated that this was to give the approximate weight and launch requirements so that he could make a good handover with the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Thinking of Mr. Wang's arrangement for Ran's father, he lost 80% of his strength and could only proceed step by step.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao felt a little headache.

Nothing else, the rockets from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building are too expensive.

Each experiment would cost several hundred million, and this time we were asking them for help, which meant they had to pay for it themselves.

No amount of money is enough to spend like this.

No wonder Mr. Wang has a sad face all day long, he is probably worried about money.

Yang Xiaotao was daydreaming in the corner. On the distant sea, a cargo ship was moving slowly forward under the guidance of the Li Guang.

In the command room of the Li Guang, Walid was sitting with Zhang Kangzhan, but he was looking around with curiosity and envy in his eyes.

Originally, he came here on a cargo ship in order to transport the produced Desert Eagles back.

Of course, the reason why I can sit here is because I mentioned on the way here that I bought 150,000 tons of wheat and corn.

It was because of this gift that the Li Guang was allowed to serve as a frigate.

Walid was also invited to visit the ship.

But after coming up, I felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and everything I saw was new to me.

Although he didn't understand many things, he still knew the missile launch port.

I counted them carefully, there were twenty in total, four horizontally and five vertically.

In other words, twenty missiles can be launched at one time. Although it is impossible for all of these twenty missiles to be guided by radar after they are launched, four or five missiles at a time will be enough.

As for the missile strength displayed by China, I dare not say anything else, but at least it is no worse than that of Britain and France.

This can be discovered from a distance and fired from a distance, how can we defend against it?
With such strength, who wouldn't be afraid?
Even if an aircraft carrier comes, it will be half-crippled if not killed by two missiles!

I'm jealous!
When will they have a cruiser like this!

Even just one ship will do!
"Dear Captain Zhang, hello!"

Walid spoke to Zhang Kangzhan, and the translator beside him hurried forward to help.

Zhang Kangzhan was also very close to Walid, after all, he was the one who sent a large shipload of food.

Anyone who has lived through a time of famine knows how valuable food is.

Zhang Kangzhan must give full respect to those who deliver food to them.

"Mr. Walid, you are so polite!"

Zhang Kangzhan walked up to him, and the Chief of Staff Li Bing behind him was also curious.

"Captain Zhang, I'd like to ask, how many cruisers like this do you have?"

"Of course, this is just my personal curiosity. If it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to answer!"

Zhang Kangzhan smiled when he heard this, but he had no intention of hiding anything.

After all, everyone who has made the changes knows that it is just a matter of time.

So he laughed and said, "We now have three missile cruisers like this!"

"Three? Oh my God!"

Walid opened his mouth in surprise.

Three such missile cruisers can basically form three strike formations, then, then...

咕咚
Walid swallowed his saliva. He really wanted to ask, is this cruiser for sale?
Zhang Kangzhan felt very comfortable when he saw the other party's surprised expression.

The three ships he mentioned are indeed fine, but the last two are bigger than the previous one!
The Huo Qubing was better, being more than 300 tons larger than his Li Guang, reaching 1,300 tons.

But the Wei Qing jumped directly to three thousand tons.

Damn, their missile launch ports are twice as many as theirs, and their ammunition capacity is more than three times as much.

Really, I’m so envious!
But I heard there will be bigger ones later, so I still have a chance.

Just as I was daydreaming, I suddenly heard the sound of ringing.

Walid was also stunned when he heard it. He looked up and around, and saw the chief of staff quickly walk to the side, then picked up a box-like thing, and then pressed it, and a sound came out from inside.

Seeing that, Walid suddenly remembered that he heard a noble talk about it when he attended a noble banquet in Lion City last time when he docked there.

It seems that China has invented a telephone that allows direct calls without the need for wires.

It is said that this thing is a signal sent from a satellite.

It is said that even at sea you can receive signals from the sky and call your family.

It is said that…

Various rumors.

But now, he seemed to have seen the "alleged" satellite phone.

While he was daydreaming, Zhang Kangzhan had finished speaking and hung up the phone. He then carefully handed it to the guard who was watching over him.

The guard also put it back in place carefully, without blinking during the whole process, for fear of anything going wrong.

"Mr. Walid, we have received a new order. This time we will go directly to the port of Jinmen. The commander will thank you there!"

Zhang Kangzhan came up to him with a smile and told Walid the good news.

It seems that these 150,000 tons of grain are very important!

At the same time, their fleet also had three days of holiday, which was a perfect time to go to Sijiu City.

No matter what, I have to see the old city and meet that cousin!
Thinking of this, Zhang Kangzhan grinned.

But Walid's eyes were fixed on the place where the satellite phone call was made just now. He just nodded instinctively to the translator's words, with a warm smile on his face.

Then he said, "Um, is that a satellite phone?"

"The kind without the string?"

Hearing the translator's voice, Zhang Kangzhan came back to his senses, then looked at the satellite phone not far away, and then said proudly, "Yes, that's the satellite phone!"

“We made it ourselves!”

Hearing this, Walid's eyes flickered, and the question he wanted to ask in his heart came to his mind again!
