Fang Dongping laughed: "Your kid's heart is quite big, okay, it's up to you, let's study our own projects." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed twice, then picked up a pen and paper and began to analyze the refining process one by one, trying to find a place where it could be simplified.

Although he didn't know much about the refining equipment, he could still understand the correlation between the various processes, so it did not prevent him from co-ordinating.

Co-ordination is a branch of mathematics that belongs to the practical application of mathematics. Niu Xiaoqiang can solve the "Königsberg Seven Bridges Problem" in less than half an hour, and his mathematical attainments are naturally self-evident. Under his careful consideration, various improvement plans were also released. Although he only changed some of the small details, the small details added up to a lot of things.

Both the master and apprentice entered the realm of selflessness, and they were busy working until their stomachs growled, and then they stopped.

Niu Xiaoqiang had several pages of scratch paper in front of him, which were full of his ideas. Since he didn't put these ideas together, others would only seem to be messy and had no rules to speak of.

Not to mention Fang Dongping, the scratch paper in front of him was full of all kinds of simple equipment structure diagrams. These drawings were drawn by him according to his own understanding, and even experts who specialize in donkey head machines are not easy to understand without his own explanation.

Niu Xiaoqiang patted his cooing belly and said with a smile: "Master, we have been busy all morning, it's time to take a break, you rest first, I'll cook." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang felt that he had taken too much advantage of his master, and he felt that he couldn't go, so he took the initiative to bear Fang Dongping's food expenses. However, he doesn't have much money now, so he can only owe the money first, and then hand it over to Fang Dongping when he earns the money.

Niu Xiaoqiang's food standard for Fang Dongping is the same as that of the cadres of the 311 factory, which is three cents and six meals. In this way, he needs to pay Fang Dongping a total of one yuan and eight cents for food every day. Fang Dongping erased the odds, and Niu Xiaoqiang's actual food expenses were one yuan a day, which was thirty yuan a month.

In these years, the rice for white flowers is only eight cents a catty, and the unit price of most vegetables does not exceed one cent, only meat is more expensive. Thirty yuan a month is a very high food expense, after all, the monthly salary of ordinary workers is only about 20 yuan.

Niu Xiaoqiang first cleaned the Chinese cabbage, cut it and put it in the basket, and then turned his head to cut the bacon hanging on the cave wall.

The villagers of Niujia Village will more or less marinate some bacon and bacon during the Chinese New Year, and Fang Dongping's bacon is given by Niu Xiaoqiang's family. Their family raised New Year's pigs, and after slaughtering, they could get a lot of raw meat, and they would take out more than half of the cured bacon every year.

Niu Dazhuang thanked Fang Dongping for cultivating his two sons, so he took the bacon as a thank you gift and gave Fang Dongping ten catties every year.

It looks like it won't start today, Niu Xiaoqiang knew that Fang Dongping liked to drink, so he set up the hot pot, used Chinese cabbage and shredded bacon as ingredients, and stewed a big pot full of appetizers.

After the cabbage bacon hot pot was cooked, Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said to Fang Dongping, who was smoking: "Master, it's time to eat." ”

Fang Dongping agreed, picked up the wine bottle and wine cup and sat at the humble dining table, the master and apprentice chatted happily while eating, and the content of their conversation was related to technological innovation.

Through mutual exchanges, both sides have gained some new inspiration. When they were happy, they would run over to pick up their scratch paper and explain their improvement ideas to each other in detail, which was quite a workaholic.

Because Fang Dongping's project involves a higher technical content, they mainly talk about Fang Dongping's project, only to see Fang Dongping spit and say: "I think this kind of shaft sleeve connection fault repair technology is very operable, and it is very simple to modify, even if it is brought to the Ministry of Petroleum for evaluation, winning the award will definitely not be a problem!"

Niu Xiaoqiang gave a thumbs up with admiration: "Master, you are still amazing, you have come up with such a feasible innovative technology in one morning, if those experts from the Ministry of Petroleum knew about it, they would definitely be willing to bow down." ”

Because he drank a lot of wine, and Niu Xiaoqiang was not an outsider, Fang Dongping revealed his previous nature. I saw him laugh arrogantly: "That is, I am not interested in petroleum machinery and equipment, if I am interested, where is the matter of those experts?"

Although this is arrogant, it is not boastful, and Niu Xiaoqiang still agrees with it.

He has learned techniques from Fang Dongping for so many years, but he didn't know how powerful Fang Dongping was because he was stupid. Later, as his head suddenly became clearer, the more Niu Xiaoqiang learned, the more surprised he was by the thickness of Fang Dongping's knowledge.

It is no exaggeration to say that Fang Dongping's attainments in the field of machinery manufacturing are very terrifying, reaching the point that ordinary experts can only look up to, as long as he is given a platform to play, he will be able to do an amazing performance.

It's a pity that Fang Dongping, who has experienced the years of strife, is already dead and has no interest in fame and fortune. He is now more like eating and waiting for death, if it weren't for taking care of the families of a few old friends, maybe he wouldn't have bothered to go out and do private work.

Fortunately, he met Niu Xiaoqiang for the rest of his life, and Fang Dongping was very satisfied with Niu Xiaoqiang, a closed disciple. In addition to teaching his knowledge, he also taught Niu Xiaoqiang the truth of how to behave in the world, so that this proud protégé would not suffer the losses he had suffered before in the future.

Niu Xiaoqiang is now thinking about money, he feels that the fault repair technology developed by Fang Dongping is very "money", and he can't help but think: "Master, why don't we exchange this technology you developed for money, such a valuable technology, I think it can be sold for a lot of money, if it is given to Director Zhang for nothing, it will be a pity." ”

Fang Dongping restrained his smile and shook his head, "We can't do this." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was surprised: "Why?"

"First of all, the Ministry of Petroleum is a whole, although there is competition between the various large oil fields, but generally speaking, they are still a family, we do not have the slightest name in the oil system, who will take us seriously as the leaders who make decisions? At that time, it is estimated that they will not even be able to enter the door of the Ministry of Petroleum, let alone exchange technology for money. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed, feeling that what Fang Dongping said was very reasonable.

In official-oriented countries, bureaucracy is very prevalent, and those big leaders are not what you want to see, and without a reciprocal status, it is true that you can't even enter the door of others.
