Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival of 1963 arrived. He Yuzhu and his family happily spent the New Year together and then threw themselves into new work. After returning to work, He Yuzhu began to design drawings of various types of engineering machinery and equipment required for tunnel excavation. In just five working days, he had completed the blueprints of four sets of mechanical equipment.

Just as He Yuzhu was preparing to further refine the drawings, his colleague Gu Zhiqiu appeared in his office. He Yuzhu had not seen Gu Zhiqiu for some time.

"Zhu Zi, Happy New Year!" Gu Zhiqiu congratulated He Yuzhu as soon as he entered the house.

Stunned for a moment by this sudden greeting, He Yuzhu quickly reacted, "It's New Year's Day, what are you doing here, Lao Gu!"

Gu Zhiqiu glanced at He Yuzhu and said, "You have to blame yourself. The mechanical equipment you designed has boosted construction enthusiasm in various places. In order to coordinate production, I have been running around outside and even spent the Spring Festival away from home. I just returned to the city yesterday and immediately reported to the unit this morning. You are still here to sneer! But I have to say that the machines you designed have helped solve many employment problems. Factories are being built all over the country."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction and said, "So, it's still a good thing."

After hearing this, Gu Zhiqiu asked, "Yes, it is indeed a good thing. By the way, I heard that most of the design plans have been adopted for factory construction this time. Do you have any other ideas?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "There is indeed something new, wait a moment."

He Yuzhu took out a stack of drawings from the safe in the office, and used his mind power to take out the map stored in his personal space and handed it to Gu Zhiqiu.

"What are these?" Gu Zhiqiu took the drawings, glanced through them, and immediately asked the question.

“These are all custom-made machines for projects—excavators, cranes, rock-cutters, track rollers, pavers, and other equipment for road, highway, rail construction, and mining,” He Yuzhu explained. “There are also many unfinished designs. These can all be put into production right away, and I have prepared all the relevant operation, repair, and maintenance instructions. Use them first, and come back for more information later.”

Hearing this, Gu Zhiqiu asked thoughtfully, "Are you making special preparations for the construction of the 'Sky Road' project?"

He Yuzhu asked in return: "Is it true that our country cannot build other roads besides the 'Sky Road'?"

Gu Zhiqiu smiled and waved his hands, "That's not what I meant!"

"Since that's not what you mean, that's easy to say. Other projects also need the support of these devices. Moreover, with them, I have optimized the entire process of road construction, and the progress of future projects will be greatly accelerated." He Yuzhu said firmly.

Naturally, with this thing, the construction of the Heavenly Road will be much easier, and it won't be so risky! "After He Yuzhu finished speaking, Gu Zhiqiu nodded slightly and said:

"I understand. Don't worry, I will discuss the establishment of the factory with my superiors right away!

If we have this thing, our country's development speed will be greatly accelerated! "Hearing this, He Yuzhu also nodded and said:

"Once the railways and roads are connected across the country, materials can be quickly allocated, which will undoubtedly make the country's development faster." Gu Zhiqiu agreed:

"That's true. Once a city has convenient transportation, its development will always be exceptionally rapid!" He Yuzhu then continued:

"If you need anything, just let me know!" Gu Zhiqiu responded:

"Now that you mention it, I remember that this is a summary of all the problems found in the product you designed. The difficult parts have been reported to you, and the rest have been solved by my colleagues themselves.

The specific details that were not mentioned have been dealt with. "He Yuzhu took the information and replied:

"I understand. I will solve it when I am free and give you a reply next time I come back!" Gu Zhiqiu nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll take my leave now!" After saying that, Gu Zhiqiu left in a hurry.

Looking at the departing figures, He Yuzhu had an idea in his mind: due to the reports during the Spring Festival of the previous year, infrastructure construction is now being vigorously carried out across the country, which will surely once again boost the country's development pace.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu returned to the design table. The next day, after dealing with the issues raised by Gu Zhiqiu, he devoted himself to the design of the new drawing.

After finishing four or five drawings, Gu Zhiqiu returned. He Yuzhu handed him the list of questions and the newly drawn drawings. After browsing through them, Gu Zhiqiu sighed slightly and said:

“You are a person who either takes a break or works as hard as you can, and I admire that.

But these problems have troubled me for more than a few days. It was fine before I didn’t have a mobile phone, but now I’m so busy that I don’t even have a fixed meal time! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhiqiu's phone rang. He answered it without thinking:

"Hello, I'm..."

"Oh no, Director Gu, the parts can't be installed, and the instructions don't work!"

The phone sounded clear, and He Yuzhu heard it. He Yuzhu immediately responded:

"That's impossible. There are no mistakes in the drawings. As long as we follow the drawings, there will be no problems with the finished parts!"

"It really can't be installed!" He Yuzhu said:

"Which link? Let's take a look at it together!" At this time, Gu Zhiqiu asked:

"What exactly is the situation?"

"It happened at the steel mill." He Yuzhu was slightly startled, then asked:

"Old Gu, why is the steel mill involved? Shouldn't they all be newly built facilities?" Gu Zhiqiu nodded and explained:

“Indeed, they are all new production units, but since many parts are produced by grassroots factories,

The new plant will be primarily responsible for final assembly.”

He Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, because he knew it was not his job. He just assured her:

"Okay, let them get ready and we'll come check it out!" After that, He Yuzhu said to Gu Zhiqiu:

"I'll drive first. I'm familiar with the route and can get there quickly!" Gu Zhiqiu replied:

"Okay, everyone get ready and wait, we'll be there soon!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone, sorted out the documents handed over by He Yuzhu and left the room.

After going downstairs, he had his own car waiting for him, and there were security guards equipped with guns accompanying him in the car.

Everything Gu Zhiqiu carries is of vital importance, so he needs to be accompanied by security personnel for protection, and these people are not ordinary people.

Seeing Gu Zhiqiu driving closely behind, He Yuzhu led the way directly to the destination.

When the group arrived at the steel plant, the security personnel at the gate let them in. Not long after He Yuzhu arrived at the factory, Gu Zhiqiu also arrived and took He Yuzhu into the workshop. At this time, a technician reported to Gu Zhiqiu:

"Director Gu, you are finally here. This is a component we produced. All parts are made strictly according to the drawings, but we encountered difficulties in installation."

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu almost gnashed his teeth and looked at the technician holding the parts in his hand, and asked: "Who made this part?"

Faced with He Yuzhu's sudden questioning, the technician seemed a little confused, not understanding why the other party had such a strong reaction. Gu Zhiqiu next to him quickly introduced: "This is Mr. He, our chief engineer, and also the professional who solved this technical problem."

After hearing this, the technician was shocked, surprised that the young man in front of him had such a high level of skills. Compared with the technician himself who was older but still stayed in the junior position, this gap made him respectfully call out: "Hello, Mr. He!"

After a simple return of greeting, He Yuzhu then asked, "Who actually made these parts?" The technician explained, "All the size parameters are perfectly matched and there are no flaws. The workers who operated them should not be blamed for this."

Another technician reported the same thing to Gu Zhiqiu again, seemingly repeating the problem they had encountered before. Although He Yuzhu was annoyed, he did not directly refute it. He turned to the original questioner and said gently but firmly: "The problem is not the deviation between the drawing and the actual product. It is a human error. The drawing was reversed, so the reversed parts were produced, which naturally cannot be assembled properly."

When the technician heard this, he suddenly realized.

"What? The drawing is upside down, and the parts are made upside down?" He Yuzhu nodded slightly: "Yes, I am very familiar with this part, and I can see the problem at a glance." The technician hurriedly called out to the outside: "Engineer Yi, Engineer Yi!"

But Yi Zhonghai did not respond. He Yuzhu said to the worker next to him, "Give me the blank of that part!"

Soon someone brought in a few parts. He Yuzhu ignored the looks of others and walked up to the operating table to start the machine. He found that the machine was well maintained and performed well. He quickly completed the processing of the parts.

Everyone present was shocked by He Yuzhu's craftsmanship, his level was a miracle even in the entire steel mill. "Yes, the drawing is indeed reversed!" He Yuzhu added, "Well, this has nothing to do with the drawing, the rest is up to you. Old Gu, I'm going back to the bureau first, there is still a lot of work waiting for me to do there!"

Gu Zhiqiu nodded in understanding and asked, "Anything else?" The technician shook his head, so Gu Zhiqiu said, "Then let's go back together!"

He Yuzhu agreed, and the two drove away. He Yuzhu drove to the seventh bureau, while no one knew where Gu Zhiqiu was going... The technician just now responded: "Got it!"

……

what happened?

Am I really old?

Is there something wrong with your ears?

I am a level 8 fitter. On modern machine tools, it is child's play for me to handle this level 8 workpiece. How could I possibly fall down here?

Dissatisfied, Yi Zhonghai confirmed again: "Engineer Wu, I want to confirm again, is the previous waste due to a problem with my operation?"

Faced with this question, Technician Wu looked at Yi Zhonghai as if he were a fool, and then repeated, "Yes, it's because of you."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned and said in disbelief: "How could this happen? There is no reason for me to make a mistake. I followed all the steps strictly according to the standards!"
