Chapter 5 Wanshan Arms Factory

On the long-distance bus to Guixi Province the next day, Lu Jiadong and Fatty Luo enjoyed the scenery on the roadside while feeling the bumpy road conditions. They stopped at a Navy base early this morning. As soon as they got ashore, they were both looked for by Wang Chuanchen and Li Ming and handed over the personnel files to them.

I heard that when Wang Chuanchen went to the aid commander to ask for files, he did not encounter any resistance at all. There was no way. Everyone in the regiment thought that Lu Jiadong and the others had a big problem. How could they give up? This requires files, so they must be severely punished. Since it is a disaster star, they should be sent away quickly. In order to avoid implicating the aid team, their regiment commander even took out their work in the aid team and gave only the rest to Wang Chuanchen.

Wang Chuanchen knew about the idea of ​​the aid team. He was too lazy to explain to these people. Anyway, he just needed to get the file, but what he didn't know was that this file with less resume caused a lot of trouble to Lu Jiadong and his position allocation, which was all a matter of a later story.

Looking at Wang Chuanchen's smiling expression at that time, Lu Jiadong knew that he was the winner of the sonar battle last night. This can also be seen from Li Ming's expression of how much money others owe him. There is no way. When an intellectual meets an active-duty officer, he is just a scholar meets a soldier. It is normal for Li Ming to fight.

Before leaving, Wang Chuanchen and Li Ming gave Lu Jiadong 200 yuan. As a reward last night, Lu Jiadong refused several times and accepted it. Then he bought a ticket and got on the bus, heading west!

"Fatty Luo, the files have been collected!"

"Don't worry!" Fatty Luo stared at two blood-red eyes, stared out the window, patted the military green canvas bag on the side of his body and said, "It's all here!"

"Take it out and I'll see. My eyelids are twitching, and I always feel that there is something wrong!" Lu Jiadong said, and was about to remove Fatty Luo's bag.

But before Lu Jiadong could reach out, he was stopped by Fatty Luo: "What do you want to do? Do you know? This kind of file can only be viewed by the organization department. We are not qualified to view it. Besides, if your eyelids twitch, it means there is something wrong? It's simply superstitious about ideas!"

"Haha, it's quite principled!" Lu Jiadong knew that Fatty Luo was concerned about the situations in his file that proved that he was not from a good background, so Lu Jiadong did not force it, but instructed: "You have been so excited that you can't sleep since last night. It's almost noon, so why don't you take a nap?"

Since Lu Jiadong showed the letter of introduction to Fatty Luo, Fatty Luo was like a chicken blood injected, and he watched it all night, and he was still very energetic until now.

"I can't sleep!" Fatty Luo replied simply, then turned his face from the window: "Jiadong really thanks you this time!"

"Oh, what's the thank you?" Seeing Fatty Luo's expression, Lu Jiadong quickly waved his hand: "The third-tier factory in the deep mountains, as long as you don't mind the conditions there are difficult!"

"How hard the conditions are, they are workers. Do you think anyone can become workers!" Fatty Luo said the word "worker" very seriously, and even the people in the car could hear it clearly. However, what surprised Lu Jiadong was that these people did not despise Fat Luo, but looked at them enviously. It was obvious that the identity of a worker was so popular at that time.

"Then you won't tell your parents about this good news, so that they can be happy!"

"Let's talk about it when you arrive at the factory, by the way, Jiadong, what did you do, they will transfer us to the factory?" Fatty Luo asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just helping them solve a technical problem!"

“What’s the problem?”

"Well......"

"I understand, I shouldn't ask, I won't ask!" Fatty Luo was also a person who had learned the confidentiality regulations. He still knew what to ask and what not to ask: "But where did you learn these technical issues?"

Fatty Luo asked this, Lu Jiadong had no choice but to bring out the trick he had said to Wang Chuanchen and Li Ming before, saying that he was self-taught. Fatty Luo and Lu Jiadong were good friends naturally knew that he loved reading, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Ah! That's right, you often borrow books to read, but you don't pick them. You know this. I also borrowed them to read them at that time. Oh, I regret it even if I think about it!"

In this way, the two of them walked and chatted all the way. Soon two days passed. The two came to Wanshan Town, a mountainous area in the northern part of Guixi Province. Lu Jiadong leaned against a big camphor tree and looked at the address Wang Chuanchen gave him:

"It should be here!"

"But why can't you even see a factory shadow?" Fatty Luo looked at the low houses, tall mountains, and stair-shaped farmlands on it, and couldn't help but ask.

"You'll know if you ask someone!" Seeing an old man walking from a distance, Lu Jiadong spit out the grass in his mouth and walked to the old man:

"Grandpa, do you know how to get to Wanshan Factory?"

“@%¥…&”

"Uh..." the old man said a few words, but Lu Jiadong and Fatty Luo didn't understand a single word. Obviously, the old man only knows how to speak local dialects and cannot speak Mandarin.

At this time, a young man driving a ox cart passed by here. The old man stepped forward and spoke a few dialects to the middle-aged man. Then the middle-aged man asked in a strong Guangxi accent:

"Are you going to Wanshan Factory?"

"Yes, comrade, we are going to Wanshan Factory, how can we get there?" Lu Jiadong asked.

"It's still a little far away, but I'll go to the production team to deliver the ox cart, just by the way, I can take you all the way!"

"That's so thankful! By the way, comrade, what do you call me?"

"Just call me a native dog!"

"Uh..." Hearing this name, Lu Jiadong didn't know what to say, so he called Fatty Luo to carry the cloth bag and luggage onto the ox cart. The local dog was obviously kind-hearted. Seeing that Lu Jiadong and the others had a lot of luggage, they got off the car to help.

The local dog has the unique simplicity and enthusiasm of farmers. Along the way, he told Lu Jiadong and Fatty Luo a lot of strange stories about Wanshan, and also told many stories about the construction of Wanshan Factory. However, as a young man, he was very curious about the outside world and also asked many things outside the mountain. All of these were explained by Fatty Luo. When he heard the sea, the local dog could not hide his longing expression.

After walking for about an hour, I waded across a river and crossed two mountains, and finally arrived at the Wanshan Army Factory. Because the Tugo was going to deliver a car, he only sent Lu Jiadong and the others to the factory gate and bid farewell to the local dog. Lu Jiadong and Fatty Luo walked into the Wanshan Machinery Factory with their luggage.

As soon as you enter the factory, it is like entering another world. The "Military Industry Service Country" with white background and red characters is in front of the four big characters. The roads in the factory are not the kind of rural dirt roads outside, but neat cement or stone roads, auditoriums, cultural centers, supply and marketing cooperatives, guesthouses, family areas, and dormitory areas are all available. Propaganda slogans such as "Sacrifice your small family, for the country, and the third line is my home" can also be seen everywhere.

The two of them went inquired and first came to the Personnel Department of the Factory to report. However, it was already afternoon when they arrived at the factory and were honest on weekends. Unfortunately, the deputy factory manager in charge of personnel was on a business trip. He couldn't sign and could not go through the factory entrance procedures. He could only wait for someone to go to work before he could go to formally allocate his position. Fortunately, with the letter of introduction, the two could be assigned to the dormitory, so they handed over the personnel files to the Personnel Department and changed two chapters of dormitory allocation.

In fact, as long as the housing problem is solved, other problems will be easy to deal with. After all, the letter of introduction states that the registration date is before November 10, 1978. It is still nearly a month since they came back from abroad. They have to stroll around the mountains and rivers here and change their moods to work better. To put it nicely, they are called understanding life, but not nice, they are lazy to eat and eat.

So Lu Jiadong and Fatty Luo rushed to the factory staff dormitory again. When they entered the dormitory, they saw two dormitory administrators, either drinking tea and reading newspapers, or lowering their heads and wearing sweaters. No one paid attention to them. Lu Jiadong and Fatty Luo called out several times, and the administrator who lowered their heads to knit sweaters reluctantly raised his head, glanced at the letter of introduction, and took out two keys:

"Turn left on the second floor, the first room!" Then throw it to the bar in front and continue knitting your own sweater.

Seeing this situation, Lu Jiadong not only shook his head, but nowadays, he has been eating big pots, and he is the same as he does, so how can he be motivated? But Fatty Luo seems to be accustomed to it. He picked up the key, carried his luggage and went straight to the room. When the room was settled, Fatty Luo lay on the bed in a big way:

"Oh, I'm so tired. I have to take a break. Remember to call me when I'm having a meal!"

"You..." Before Lu Jiadong, who was also lying on the bed, Fatty Luo's snoring sounded. In fact, Lu Jiadong was also very tired and wanted to sleep and rest, but Fatty Luo's snoring sound was really shocking and terrifying, Lu Jiadong couldn't sleep. There was no way. It was still early, so I went to the factory to get along. I was familiar with the factory situation.

Wanshan Military Factory is a small third-tier factory. It has been built for less than five years and the factory has less than 500 employees. However, as a military factory, all the production workshops in the factory are located in the mountains, which fully implements the spirit of the third-tier construction of "digging deep holes and accumulating grain" back then.

Lu Jiadong, who was wandering aimlessly, came to the production workshop at the foot of the mountain. It was almost 6:30 in the evening and it was already dark. Logically, the workers in the workshop should have gotten off work long ago, but there was a bright light in the workshop, which looked particularly eye-catching in the huge and dim workshop.

Not only that, under the light, it was obvious that a girl and three young men were surrounding a T-4178a single-axis barrel drilling and boring machine, twisting the tool in his hand left and then spinning it. Looking at their traced work clothes, Lu Jiadong knew that they were repairing the machine. At this time, the girl said shyly:

"Brother! Stop doing it. I have tried it several times, but I haven't done it well. If not, I'll find Master Li tomorrow!"

"This small problem cannot be used by Master Li! It's okay, when the shaft is twisted, it should be fine!" A young man replied in an irrefutable tone while twisting it with a wrench.

When Lu Jiadong heard this, he knew that this machine was having problems. He was a military-industrial technology and was originally interested in technical things. In addition, he was also familiar with military-industrial manufacturing machinery. So when encountering such a repair problem that cannot be solved, Lu Jiadong suddenly became curious. He wanted to understand what the problem was, so he walked towards the T-4178a single-axis barrel drilling and boring machine...
