Chapter 12: China’s technology is so backward!

Xu Weiguo thought he was hallucinating because of the pressure.

He looked up and looked at Shen Sangyu who was standing in front of the machine and observing: “What did you say just now?”

“I said I might be able to repair the engine, let me try.”

Xu Weiguo’s mouth opened and closed, and he suddenly sat up from his chair, his face flushed with excitement:

“Comrade Shen, are you kidding me? This is the most advanced steelmaking machine in the United States, and no one in China can repair it.”

Hearing this, Shen Sangyu frowned.

She knew that China’s technology was backward now, but when she really experienced it, a flame was still ignited in her heart.

Shen Sangyu remembered that when she was doing research with her teacher, the teacher always said how difficult the conditions were at that time.

They couldn’t make advanced things, so they could only spend money to buy what others didn’t want, and others took the money to produce more advanced ones.

In order to catch up with others and to prevent China from falling behind in all aspects, everyone ran forward desperately.

This giant machine in front of her had been eliminated for many years in her previous life, but now it is China’s most advanced steelmaking machine.

Shen Sangyu clenched her fists, and an inextinguishable flame was burning in her heart.

China’s technology is not yet strong, but if she uses her experience in her previous life to do scientific research, will it take China’s technology to a higher level?

Shen Sangyu thought about it, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She asked Xu Weiguo: “Is it okay?”

Xu Weiguo immediately replied: “Yes, yes, if it is fixed, I will pay you.”

Shen Sangyu did not speak, but directly opened the interior of the cabin to check the wiring and control panel.

Because it is an old American product, the buttons and controls on it are all in English, which is relatively simple for Shen Sangyu.

She operated all the panels, and the responses were all normal, so the broken one must be the engine.

The engine is an iron lump, and I don’t know how long it has been used, and there is still some rust on the interface.

Shen Sangyu couldn’t help but ask, “Director Xu, did you spend two hundred thousand to buy this machine?”

“Yes.” Xu Weiguo nodded, then realized something was wrong: “Is there any problem?”

“Yes, after it’s repaired, I suggest you find a lawyer to sue. The equipment is indeed the latest model replaced by the Americans, but this engine is not.”

Shen Sangyu said, pointing to a certain part of the engine: “This part is from a machine ten years ago.

How could it be the latest equipment they claim? Moreover, I don’t know how long it has not been used.

The machine on it is a little rusty. It’s really not easy for this engine to still work for three months.”

Xu Weiguo no longer understood.

“Damn it!” Xu Weiguo slapped his thigh in anger and said, “I will find a lawyer when the time comes. I will sue these sons of bitches to death!”

After saying that, he changed the subject: “Can it be repaired?”

“Of course it can be, but the engine is aging, and it can only work for a while after it is repaired.

If Director Xu trusts me, you can prepare new valve rocker arms, exhaust valves and engine cores and bring them to me, and I will install them for you for free.”

After hearing this, Xu Weiguo finally felt relieved and wiped his tears: “It will work for a while. Now the factory has a batch of orders that will be completed in the next few days. After this batch of orders is completed, I will just stop working for a few days and look for the things you mentioned.”

This was the first time Xu Weiguo came into contact with these equipment. He knew how to repair some common faults, but Shen Sangyu explained it in such detail that he was a little confused, but he still wrote it all down.

After the first batch of orders was completed, the factory began to make a profit. The things Comrade Shen mentioned should have money… buy them?

Thinking of the price the German repairman had mentioned before, Xu Weiguo’s heart trembled, and he asked, “How much are these?”

Shen Sangyu was not particularly familiar with the prices of this world, and made a rough estimate:

“I don’t know if these things are available in China, but if they are available abroad, they should not exceed 500 yuan.”

Upon hearing this price, Xu Weiguo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Okay!”

Shen Sangyu saw that the other party had no more questions to ask, and lowered his head to start repairing the machine.

The engine was indeed seriously damaged. Shen Sangyu cursed the unscrupulous profiteers and then buried his head in repairing it.

Repairing the machine is a heavy job. Shen Sangyu disassembled almost all the engines that could be disassembled, and finally found the damaged part this time.

The damaged part was a little hidden, no wonder the young man said that there was no way but to replace it with a new one.

After Shen Sangyu installed the machine, he stepped out, and the back pain swept over him instantly.

“It should be OK, try to start it.” Shen Sangyu said to Xu Weiguo, holding his waist.

Xu Weiguo hurried to start the machine, and soon, rumbling sounds rang around.

The next second, the machine that had stopped working began to move.

“It’s fixed!”

Xu Weiguo’s face flushed with excitement. Today was really thrilling. After he asked others to continue working, he took Shen Sangyu out of the workshop.

Originally, he wanted to invite Shen Sangyu to dinner, but when the other party saw that it was almost three o’clock, he hurriedly shook his head and said he wanted to go home.

Xu Weiguo had no choice but to give up. He took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and said with gratitude: “Thanks to you today.”

Shen Sangyu didn’t expect Xu Weiguo to be so generous. She shook her head repeatedly: “It’s not difficult to repair the engine, but the damaged part is not easy to find. You don’t have to give me so much.”

Xu Weiguo refused to take it back: “Just take it. You saved my steel plant today.”

Seeing that the girl refused to take it, Xu Weiguo said: “I will trouble Comrade Shen to help me improve the engine again later.”

Shen Sangyu had no choice but to accept it.

Xu Weiguo originally wanted to send Shen Sangyu back to the compound, but Shen Sangyu refused and left an address to Xu Weiguo, asking him to find him at the military compound when the parts arrived.

When Xu Weiguo saw the address, he was a little surprised.

“Are you married? What does Comrade Shen do for a living?”

Xu Weiguo was quite curious that he could not only speak multiple languages ​​but also repair such a complicated machine.

But after asking, he suddenly realized that it was very impolite, and hurriedly said: “I don’t mean anything else, it doesn’t matter if you don’t say it.”

“I just got married and came here to find a job.” Shen Sangyu didn’t care.

“Have you found it?” Xu Weiguo asked, “What kind do you want to find?”

Shen Sangyu shook her head: “Not yet, I will try as long as there is a suitable one.”

Xu Weiguo thought for a while and said, “I see that you are very good at translation. I have a friend in an editing company. I will ask them if they are short of people.”

Shen Sangyu’s eyes lit up: “Thank you, Director Xu!”

Xu Weiguo laughed: “I will tell the editing company, but whether you can get in depends on you.”

Shen Sangyu nodded.

She returned to the Peace Hotel and ordered three meat dishes and one vegetable to take back.

At this time, the military vehicle that picked them up just arrived. Shen Sangyu greeted Xu Weiguo and got on the car.

The city of Sijiu has not had high-rise buildings for decades. The times are still developing.

In another 20 years, technology will develop rapidly and change with each passing day.

And she finally had a goal at this moment.

She wants to bring her research to this era.

She wants China’s science and technology to flourish!
