Chapter 200 Drunkard
The next day, shortly after Xu Qiang came to work, the six people who had come from the project team yesterday came to the scrap warehouse together.

Seeing that everyone was present, Xu Qiang began to assign tasks to them.

"Today is the first day of work for our project team. Your task is to draw the blueprints of the equipment according to the ideas I gave you."

After Xu Qiang finished speaking, he distributed the drawings that he had prepared long ago to the six people.

These drawings are all design sketches, which simply depict some design shapes and some key parts and components. Although they are called drawings, in fact, the various design instructions alone occupy most of the paper, and at first glance, they look very densely packed.

"What kind of design drawing is this?" After taking the drawing handed over by Xu Qiang, He Yonghong frowned after just taking a look at it.

"It's not as good as the one I drew..." He Wei also muttered softly.

"I'm not a mechanical technician. My major is chemical engineering, so I'll leave the mechanical drawing and design to you all. We agreed on that yesterday." Xu Qiang thought for a moment, then continued, "My plan is to use three days for you to draw drawings that can be used for processing according to my plan. The rest of the time, I'll let the workshop make the equipment and improve it while it's being made..."

In fact, the research and development of aramid 1414 can be said to be the most complicated project led by Xu Qiang. In his previous life, although he also participated in the mass production and research and development of domestic aramid paper, he was not the project leader, but only a member of the project team.

But once he became the person in charge of such a complex project, Xu Qiang had a lot more work to do. On the one hand, he had to propose design ideas and assign work to team members every day. On the other hand, he had to organize logistics. He also needed to contact the leaders of each workshop and the front-line workers to complete the overall coordination and make the entire project run efficiently and stably.

"The height of the equipment is only 55 centimeters... Your equipment is too small. Even if the workers are sitting, they can only bend over to operate it. You told me that this is production line equipment?" He Yonghong looked carefully at the data marked next to it and said in confusion.

"This is just a verification machine. It is made small to save costs. If the product passes inspection in the future and is ready for mass production, we only need to enlarge the machine proportionally and change the materials of some parts," explained Xu Qiang.

"I understand." He Yonghong nodded.

"He Wei, come here." Xu Qiang waved to He Wei.

"Xu Qiang, let me make it clear to you, I don't know anything. If you have the guts, ask Chief Engineer Li to transfer me out of the project team. Otherwise, don't expect me to work overtime. I have a lot of things to do every night..." He Wei looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"I didn't say I would force you to work overtime. You can do whatever you want after get off work." Xu Qiang said, picking up a list from his desk and said to He Wei, "This is the purchase list for chemical raw materials. Take this list to the supply and marketing department to find your father. You can do whatever you want in the rest of the time. No one will control you. But I have to say this in advance. If you skip work and go home and get caught by your boss, it has nothing to do with me."

If Xu Qiang had not planned to cooperate with his father, Xu Qiang would have asked him to get out long ago. Now he is just asking him to run errands for him, which is considered to be giving He Yong enough face.

"Really?" When He Wei heard Xu Qiang say that he would not have to do anything else after delivering the list, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I always keep my word!"

"Okay then." He Wei heard this and left with the list.

The remaining few people also returned to the office building with the drawings given to them by Xu Qiang. After all, there was only one office of Xu Qiang here, so if they wanted to draw, they could only go to the data room.

"Xu Qiang, your place is great. You are the only one in charge of such a large laboratory and such a big yard. If it were me, I would not even be the factory director no matter who else is." He Yonghong said with some envy when he saw the four newcomers leave.

"Do you know why I have such a large space?" Xu Qiang asked with a smile.

"Working in the chemical industry is extremely dangerous. If nothing goes wrong, it's fine. But if something goes wrong, it's a big deal. I remember when I first joined the recruit company, there was a chemical plant not far from our unit. It suddenly exploded at night. The fire could be seen clearly from more than ten miles away. Later, we and the local government carried out emergency rescue. The scene was simply tragic..." When he said this, He Yonghong still seemed to have lingering fears.

"Yes, the chemical industry is so dangerous. I don't want to drag others down with me if something goes wrong, so I simply applied to the factory director to build a chemical laboratory here." Xu Qiang nodded and continued, "So you'd better not come here too often. Maybe what I said is a bit unlucky, but it's for your own good."

"Hahaha, I think you're a pretty good person. This is the first time in my life that someone has given me a bundle of wine..." He Yonghong smiled and continued, "But I have a request. Can I draw here too? I don't want to go back to the technical department."

"What?"

"You don't have so many leaders running around here, so it's convenient for me to have a drink..."

"You drink at work?" Xu Qiang was stunned when he heard that.

"Don't make such a fuss, it's nothing, I can't get drunk."

"It's not a question of whether you're drunk or not. You're so drunk that you're confused. How can you draw a picture?"

Xu Qiang knew that He Yonghong loved to drink, but he didn't expect that he was addicted to alcohol to this extent. It's true that there are all kinds of birds in the forest.

Drinking alcohol while working in a factory is a serious violation of discipline. The less serious it is, the less likely it is to lose your bonus. In serious cases, you will be punished. "Don't worry, drawing is child's play for me, and the more I drink, the better my brain works. If you agree, I promise to help you solve all the problems in mechanical design. A few technical school students can't do your job. In the end, I will have to help you!" He Yonghong vowed.

"How about this, you can draw here, but I don't allow you to drink. If you drink secretly, it's your own business." Xu Qiang thought for a moment, then said: "Also, you must complete the tasks I assign to you on time and in the required quantity. If you fail to complete them, you will have to work overtime. Don't have any complaints about me. This is the factory's rule, and I can only follow the rules."

"Okay, that's settled! Don't worry, if we get caught by the leader, it has nothing to do with you. I will take all the responsibility!"

"Okay." Xu Qiang could only nod.

Afterwards, Xu Qiang also left the laboratory.

Since the project team had just been established and the chemical raw materials had not yet been purchased, Xu Qiang's main task these days was to draw equipment sketches.

In addition, he also needs to review a large amount of information to enhance his understanding of current domestic military products.

In his previous life, Xu Qiang spent most of his time surfing the Internet after work.

In the Internet age, it is very convenient to obtain various information. Even if it is foreign information, you can view it by climbing over the wall.

But these days, if ordinary people want to get some information, they either have to buy books or go to the library. The database of Shengli Machinery Factory is the best way for Xu Qiang to access industry information.

When he arrived at the database, Xu Qiang brought a lot of foreign language materials and books, which are almost inaccessible to outsiders in this era.

Moreover, in the factory, there are few people who can read English magazines, and not many people are interested in them. But for Xu Qiang, they are invaluable reference materials.

"Squad Leader Liu, you are here too."

As soon as he entered the reading room of the Information Department, Xu Qiang saw Liu Siying who was looking up information and drawing drawings at the same time.

"Xu Qiang." Seeing Xu Qiang, Liu Siying also smiled and asked, "How is your project going? Has it started?"

"The project team was just established yesterday, and today is the first day."

"I've always found it a little strange. Why did you suddenly think of making bulletproof vests?" Liu Siying asked with interest.

"Some things may look simple, but they actually have very high technical content. Moreover, this is a foreign trade product project. I think foreigners should be interested in this kind of product," said Xu Qiang.

"You are so smart, you will definitely succeed." Liu Siying smiled and continued, "I wanted to help you, but now I have joined Chief Engineer Li's project team. But it doesn't matter. My task here is almost completed. If you need my help, you can always come to me."

"Thank you. I don't need it for now. I will definitely find you when I need it." Xu Qiang said.

Liu Siying's words touched Xu Qiang to some extent. In fact, it is very rare to find a girl as enthusiastic as her.

Afterwards, the two exchanged a few pleasantries and went back to their respective work.

This time when he came to the database, Xu Qiang borrowed information on basic chemical materials, and what surprised him was that there were actually some chemical-related books and periodicals in the database.

Xu Qiang had seen journals such as "Journal of Chemical Industry" "Technology and Equipment for Petrochemical Industry" and "Chemical Industry Times" in the library of the institute in his later years. He did not expect that these journals had already existed in the 1980s and could actually be found in the database of Shengli Machinery Factory.

In fact, what Xu Qiang didn't know was that when the factory director Liu Biao was young, he loved reading very much. After becoming the factory director, he attached great importance to the technical department of the factory. In order to facilitate the technical personnel to look up information, the factory would set aside a special budget every year to purchase some professional books and periodicals. As a result, the book inventory in the factory database, after years of accumulation, has become equivalent to a small library.

In just a moment, Xu Qiang was immersed in the ocean of books.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As the sky gradually darkened, the people in the database went off work one after another, and in the reading room, only Xu Qiang and Liu Siying were left.

"You haven't left yet?"

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Liu Siying, who was sitting in the front, packed up the drawings, got up and left her seat. When she was about to turn off the lights and leave, she saw Xu Qiang sitting in the back.
