Chapter 73 Overview of Wheeled Tractors!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained four mallard ducks."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a case of 4 canned yellow peaches."
"..."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the overall design blueprint for a wheeled tractor."
"bite……"
Zhang Chengfei could no longer hear the commotion behind him; his attention was entirely focused on the tracked tractor.
This summer, the first Type 54 tracked tractor in my country rolled off the production line in Luoyang, which is historically considered to be the beginning of agricultural mechanization in my country.
However, few people know that the Dongfanghong (East is Red) satellite used technology that the Soviet Union had already phased out twenty years ago, and that my country paid a considerable price to obtain the technology and aid.
In contrast, the 40-wheeled tractor for which Zhang Chengfei obtained the blueprints was designed and manufactured independently in my country, making it a 100% domestic product.
Compared to the Type 54 tractor, this model is lighter, faster, and more versatile, suitable for both naval and land use. Although it cannot be modified for military use, it is a truly versatile agricultural tractor.
Unfortunately... Zhang Chengfei's gaze fell on the blueprints, but unfortunately, the blueprints he received were for two-wheel drive. If it were four-wheel drive, then it would truly be a crushing victory.
On the other hand, the 490 diesel engine required for wheeled tractors did not even exist in the current timeline.
Since they're going to develop the 490 diesel engine under their own name, they might as well make an effort to convert the two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive.
However, this process takes more time than using a micro-tiller and requires a specific opportunity.
The engines and other large components used in the mini-tillers that Hongxing Machinery Factory is currently researching are all purchased from other units.
Once the mini-tiller is on the market and the higher authorities see the results, given Lao Feng's personality, he will definitely apply for the independent production of all parts for the mini-tiller.
At that time, I can naturally produce the results of the 490 diesel engine.
With its independently developed engine, it's normal for an agricultural machinery factory to produce tractors, right?
Then, we can gradually develop other self-developed parts and technologies needed for the 40-wheel tractor, including changing the power from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive...
Even if you only have an overview map, it would still require a lot of manpower to break it down, classify it, and divide it into structural areas.
With a plan in mind, Zhang Chengfei was no longer in a hurry. Haste makes waste, and this was not a problem that could be solved by rushing.
A good night's sleep.
The next morning, Zhang Chengfei planned to go to a used bookstore after get off work and pick up a few books to pass the time. Don't ask why he didn't go to a bookstore; the answer is simple: bookstores didn't have the cultural treasures he was looking for…
After getting up, folding the quilt, and hiding the electric blanket cord, Zhang Chengfei carried a thermos and a basin, ready to go to the central courtyard to wash up.
As soon as I arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, I came face to face with Yi Zhonghai. The latter, with dark circles under his eyes and a long face, asked, "What did you say to that old lady yesterday?"
Zhang Chengfei knew perfectly well why this guy was so angry—he was guilty. Guilty? That's to be expected. You want to mess with me? I'll make sure you get away with it!
What happened last night was just an appetizer; the real show is yet to come.
He knew perfectly well what was going on, but on the surface he put on an honest and unassuming expression: "I didn't say anything."
Seeing that he wouldn't admit it, Yi Zhonghai was immediately enraged: "You, an old woman, said it yourself. Tell him that whether a woman can have children or not depends not only on the woman, but also on the man."
Before Zhang Chengfei could speak, Zhang Erya strode over with an air of indifference, saying, "Isn't what my third uncle said right?"
"What a load of rubbish!" Yi Zhonghai swore, a rare occurrence for him. "Having children is a woman's business, what does it have to do with men?"
Madam Jia sneered, "If infertility is solely due to women and has nothing to do with men, then where did the term 'borrowing a seed' come from?"
Hiss! Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, while Zhang Chengfei quietly gave his chubby niece a thumbs up.
Although Zhang Erya wasn't there yesterday, she was quite formidable. She shouted loudly at the crowd that quickly gathered around her, "My third uncle is a kind-hearted man who can't bear to see people suffer."
"He only suggested that Old Yi get checked out because he felt sorry for the old woman. But what did Old Yi do? That scoundrel didn't appreciate the kindness and repaid goodwill with evil!"
Zhang Chengfei scratched his neck: "I feel uncomfortable because there are always people in the yard and factory who secretly curse an old man and an old woman for having no children."
Although I'm not the one who's childless, like Er Ya said, I have a kind heart. I feel bad when I hear people cursing my nephew for being childless.
I chatted with an older woman yesterday and learned that her nephew had always only allowed her to get checked by herself, while he never went himself.
I've been thinking that when a couple has no offspring, both of them need to examine each other to determine whose fault it is, right?
He turned to look at Yi Zhonghai, his expression full of guilt: "I'm sorry, sir, I was just too worried."
"I'll pretend I didn't say anything yesterday. From now on, if I hear anyone calling you a widow with no descendants, I'll cover my ears and walk away. I won't meddle in other people's business."
The passage mentioned four families without heirs, and one of them was a dead heir. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he almost fainted.
Sha Zhu, however, pressed on, adding insult to injury: "Grandpa, you always teach us to help each other. But now that Da Fei is helping you, why are you turning your back on us?"
Xu Damao covered his mouth and chuckled: "That's right, Dafei has high moral character. You've misunderstood a good person, Uncle."
Zhang Chengfei nodded: "Although I wasn't the one who was called childless, our compound is a collective. If one person is scolded, the others will also feel bad."
"If you don't believe me, ask Xu Damao. Doesn't he feel bad when he hears the word 'childless'?"
Xu Damao, of course, took the side without hesitation: "That must be terrible! To be honest, Dafei, every time you mentioned the extinction of the family line, my heart skipped a beat..."
I think this is true empathy.
Zhang Chengfei smiled at him, and Xu Damao felt that the smile was a bit strange.
Liu Haizhong had been eager to step forward ever since Yi Zhonghai launched his attack, and now that he's finally got his chance, he cleared his throat:
"What those young people said makes sense, Lao Yi. If you ask me, you should get it checked out. If it really is your problem that caused the childlessness, I believe your wife won't despise you."
Zhang Chengfei said loudly, "Second Uncle is right, not to mention Auntie would accept it."
"Even our united and loving courtyard will accept your flaws without hesitation, my dear nephew."
He kept calling himself "Grandpa" one minute and "Nephew" the next, but everyone present was used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Zhang Chengfei looked at Jia Dongxu with a righteous air: "Dongxu, this old man is your master, and he has always taken good care of you."
If anyone dares to secretly call your master a mule, a rooster that can't lay eggs, an old eunuch, or someone who will die without a child, then slap them across the face!
Jia Dongxu chuckled inwardly, but still rolled up his sleeves, waved his fist, and shouted, "Don't worry, anyone who dares to call my master an old eunuch, childless, or a rooster that can't lay eggs, I, Jia Dongxu, will be the first to object!"
