Chapter 133 Big Mission

Chapter 133 Big Mission

Chapter 133 Big Mission (Part )
Tanggu Port is a port after all, with goods coming in and out frequently, and the scale of the guesthouse is also larger than those in other places.

The group arrived at the cafeteria of the guesthouse and saw dozens of people eating there.

Seeing more than a dozen people coming in, everyone just glanced at them and continued to eat.

The only sounds in the cafeteria were eating and low conversations, but nothing they were talking about was important.

"Xiao Li, let's go, we're going to eat too. Just order whatever you want. It doesn't cost any money. The factory will reimburse you!" Master Zhao reminded.

"Okay, by the way, Master Zhao, aren't we waiting for Deputy Director Zhao?"

"They should be here soon. Don't worry about waiting for them. They will be here soon!" Master Zhao explained.

"Okay, I get it!"

Li Kailang didn't care and went to the cafeteria window.

This is a bit like the buffet in later generations. You can choose whatever you want to eat, but you don’t use your own spoon, but the chef’s spoon.

Fortunately, it was always a full spoonful, and there was no Parkinson's hand tremor.

Li Kailang simply picked two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. Since the steel mill would reimburse him anyway, why not eat something good.

"Good boy, you have a lot of appetite!" Looking at the food in Li Kailang's bowl, the rice alone was 2 centimeters taller than him.

"Hey, Master Zhao, I'm still young and it's time for me to grow taller. Besides, you have a lot!"

Although Master Zhao's food is less than his, it is still much more than that of ordinary people.

"Today's food is good, that's why I asked for more! Okay, let's eat!"

Master Zhao didn't talk much with Li Kailang.

They came out for most of the day just for this hot meal.

What you eat is not important, what is important is hot food.

Not long after eating, Deputy Director Zhao came to the kitchen with Ma Wenxuan and three security guards.

"Director!"

"Don't worry about me, just eat your food and then go to the meeting room. I have something to say!" said Deputy Director Zhao.

After a while, everyone finished eating and went to the meeting room early.

This conference room was also part of the guesthouse and there were quite a few of them. Everyone found a large empty conference room and asked Li Kailang to wait outside for Deputy Director Zhao and his four companions to come.

Soon, people came.

Deputy Director Zhao sat down and got straight to the point without any further ado.

"Everyone has worked hard today, go back to bed early tonight."

"Everyone can move freely tomorrow, but you must gather at the guesthouse at 4pm. We will leave the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, that's it. Any other questions?"

Everyone watched silently and no one spoke.

"Okay, since everyone has no problem, the driver can go back first."

Hearing this, the six people got up and left.

Before leaving, Li Kailang closed the door.

Deputy Director Zhao said to the remaining 16 people,

"Tomorrow, each security guard will closely protect an eighth-level worker and an engineer. The remaining three people will have to work harder. When the equipment arrives tomorrow morning, you will go and guard it directly."

"Level 8 workers and engineers should work in pairs to check the machinery and equipment. Check carefully and make sure no mistakes are made. Report any errors promptly while there is still time."

"Understood!" shouted the eighth-level worker and the engineer.

"Okay, how to distribute it is up to you. I won't interfere. You can go back and think about it. Captain Ma, please pay attention to it!"

Hearing this, everyone left.

"Captain Ma, this batch of machinery is very important and cannot afford to go wrong. The higher-ups take it very seriously. I was originally planning to go the day after tomorrow, but there are too many people here."

"In order to avoid any further complications, I plan to check the equipment and leave tonight. Do you think it's okay?" asked Deputy Director Zhao.

It was originally planned to be three days and two nights, but after what Deputy Director Zhao did, it was still three days and two nights, but now we have to leave overnight.

It's hard to walk on the road without lighting.

Hearing this, Ma Wenxuan frowned slightly, "Deputy Director Zhao, is it really so urgent?"

"Urgent! Very urgent! I'm worried that if I get there too late, people from other factories will come to grab a piece of the pie!"

Seeing this, Ma Wenxuan also knew that the situation was urgent.

"I can go here at night, but I have to sleep outdoors at night, which is not safe. The road is bumpy and not easy to walk on. Why don't you tell the driver about this first?"

Hearing this, Deputy Director Zhao also frowned slightly and thought for a moment.
"No need. When the time comes, we can load the equipment onto the car and drive back directly. No one brought anything with them."

Seeing this, Ma Wenxuan could only agree.

"Okay, since Deputy Director Zhao said so, I'll listen to you. I'll go back and prepare."

"Okay. By the way, don't tell anyone else about this in advance!" Deputy Director Zhao warned.

"I understand!" Ma Wenxuan replied and left the meeting room.

Deputy Director Zhao sat in his chair without saying a word, deep in thought.

On the other side, Li Kailang and Master Zhao returned to the room.

"Let's go, Xiao Li, take your clothes and go take a shower!"

"coming!"

Li Kailang had packed his clothes long ago, and when the two of them were leaving, they happened to meet other masters coming out together.

"Together?" asked Master Zhao.

"Let's go!" Gu Shengli replied.

Everyone headed towards the bathhouse.

Unlike the big bathhouse, the bathhouse here is a bit smaller. In addition, there is actually a shower room. Li Kailang was very happy.

After traveling through time for so long, Li Kailang still couldn't adapt to the bathing method in the big bathhouse, otherwise he wouldn't have built a bathroom.

"By the way, Master Zhao, don't we need tickets to take a shower?"

"No need, the factory will cover you. Let me tell you, the good thing about our business trips, especially those with the fleet, is that you don't have to pay anything. Just report and do what you need to do."

"However, this can only be done in the guesthouse. Once you leave the guesthouse, you have to pay the money and pay the tickets. Don't think of eating for free outside."

Master Zhao suddenly turned around and looked at Li Kailang, "You kid, you can't just eat for free, right?"

"How is that possible? Why would I do that?" Li Kailang retorted.

"That's good. In fact, whether it goes well or not depends on the quality of the guesthouse. If the guesthouse is not good, then we should spend money on it." said Master Zhao.

Although there are subsidies for business trips, if you go to those guesthouses with poor conditions, you have to pay for the money and tickets. Generally speaking, you make money, but you also have to spend what you have to spend.

"Okay, take a shower and then go back to sleep."

Hearing this, Li Kailang didn't ask any more questions. After taking a shower, he lay in the bathhouse for a while and then planned to go back to his room to rest.

On the way back, I happened to meet Deputy Director Zhao.

"Deputy Director Zhao." Li Kailang called out, after all, the person was in front of him.

"Comrade Li Kailang, have you finished your shower?" Deputy Director Zhao asked politely.

"Well, it's time to finish washing. Deputy Director Zhao, do you want to wash too?"

"Yeah, I'm tired after a day, taking a bath can help me relax."

"By the way, I can come here this time, thanks to you!"

"Hmm? I don't quite understand what Deputy Director Zhao means?" Li Kailang asked puzzledly.

"Why? Didn't Deputy Director Li tell you?"

What could Li Huaide tell him? The relationship between the two had deteriorated.

Li Kailang shook his head.

"Since you don't know, forget it. It's not a big deal. You have contributed a lot to this equipment."

Since Li Kailang didn't know, Deputy Director Zhao didn't talk much about it.

"Okay, go back and have a rest. I won't talk to you any more." After saying that, Deputy Director Zhao left.

Li Kailang was still confused as to how he was related to her again.

"Could it be that the senior leader said so, or it's a patent?" Li Kailang muttered to himself.

"Forget it, since you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Why think so much!" Li Kailang said generously.

the next day.

After a night's rest, Li Kailang recovered.

Looking at Master Zhao who was still sleeping soundly, Li Kailang did not disturb him. He left a note and left.

"It's a rare trip to the coast, so I have to buy some seafood."

Li Kailang went to the vegetable market in Sijiucheng several times and found that no one liked to eat seafood.

Seafood is also meat, but not many people know how to cook it.

The most important thing is that cooking seafood requires a lot of seasonings and a lot of oil. If there is not enough oil, it will not taste good.

Therefore, not many people in ordinary families would eat it!
For people of this era, seafood is still mainly fish and shrimp, and shellfish is almost never eaten. However, this also has its advantages, the price of seafood is particularly cheap.

Li Kailang plans to go to the village along the seaside, where there should be a lot of seafood.

"Xiao Li, you got up so early!"

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

Li Kailang turned around and saw that the person coming was Ma Wenxuan, and there was also a security guard he didn't recognize.

"Uncle Ma, you got up so early too!"

"Yeah, where are you going?"

Ma Wenxuan looked at Li Kailang's outfit and it was obvious that he was going out.

"Nothing, it's a rare opportunity for me to come here, so I plan to take a walk around the area." Li Kailang explained, "I will be back before 4pm."

Naturally, Li Kailang couldn't tell Ma Wenxuan that he planned to buy some seafood at the seaside fishing village.

Hearing this, Ma Wenxuan frowned slightly. If it was a day off today, he wouldn't care where Li Kailang went.

But we have to leave in the evening, and if something goes wrong, the original plan may have to be changed.

"You were exhausted after a long day yesterday and it was a rare opportunity to rest. You should go back and have some more rest instead of wandering around!" Ma Wenxuan said with a somewhat stiff tone.

"No! Uncle Ma, it's a rare opportunity to come here," Li Kailang was still planning to buy seafood.

"Besides, I have some stuff on me, so I'm not afraid of others!" Li Kailang thought Ma Wenxuan was worried about his safety.

"Captain Ma, what's going on?" At this time, two more people came over.

It was Engineer Wu Xingyou and Level 8 Worker Cui Jianshe.

The two saw that they seemed to be arguing about something.

"Engineer Cui, Engineer Wu."

"Nothing, my kid just wants to go out for a walk. It's his first time here, and I'm worried about his safety!"

Ma Wenxuan said this, but his eyes kept signaling.

The two of them understood immediately.

Naturally, the two of them also knew about Deputy Director Zhao's decision.

Ma Wenxuan obviously didn't want Li Kailang to go too far and affect his plan.

"Since Captain Ma is worried, young comrade, you don't have to go," Wu Xingyou said.

"Yes, there are a lot of people here, and this is your first time here, so we shouldn't make people worry." Cui Jianshe also agreed.

Li Kailang is not a person who refuses to listen to advice. If he remains indifferent, he would be ignorant of what is good for him.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Kailang agreed.

The idea of ​​buying seafood is ruined!

The three of them also breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Engineer Wu, Engineer Cui, where are you going? Can you take me with you?" Li Kailang suddenly asked.

Since I can't go, it's not impossible to follow the three of them.

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other.

"Why? Is it inconvenient? You either let me go out or let me follow you, and I can't stay in the guesthouse."

Li Kailang seemed to be asking for their opinions, but in fact he had already made up his mind to follow them.

They looked at Li Kailang with determination in their eyes.

"Engineer Wu, Engineer Cui, do you think this is convenient?" Ma Wenxuan asked.

As Li Kailang is Zhang Jinwu's apprentice and also his junior, Ma Wenxuan naturally wants to help him.

"It's not impossible, but the young comrade is such a person..." Engineer Cui hesitated to speak.

Although we will know this sooner or later, it would be better to wait till later.

They were still worried about Li Kailang, afraid that he would accidentally tell others.

"Don't worry, Xiao Li is very tight-lipped and won't tell anyone. Of course, it's best for him to stay with us." Ma Wenxuan assured.

"Okay, since Captain Ma said so, you make the decision. We are all okay with it!" said Engineer Wu.

He gave the decision-making power to Ma Wenxuan, which also meant that he would be responsible if anything went wrong.

Li Kailang was confused as he listened from the side and had no idea what they were doing. This feeling made him feel uncomfortable.

Watching the three of them talking, I felt like an outsider.

Ma Wenxuan looked at Li Kailang and said, "Xiao Li, we have a deal. If you follow us, you have to follow us all the way. Wherever we go, you go."

"You can't go back on your word or sneak away. Can you do that? If you can't, stay in the guest house."

"Of course! I promise to follow you to the end!" Li Kailang said quickly.

It would certainly be a good thing not to have to stay in the guesthouse, and he also wanted to know what they were talking about.

"In that case, let's go!" asked Mr. Wu.

No one refused and they set off together.

As soon as the five people left, four more people set off.

He is also a worker, an engineer, and two security guards.

Li Kailang followed the four people and walked all the way to the empty warehouse.

"Bang~"

Pushing open the door of the port warehouse, everyone entered.

After a while, I saw four security guards standing guard in front of a pile of large boxes.

When the four security guards saw them come in, they just nodded and didn't say much.

Seeing these six large boxes, it is obvious that these are the important supplies for this mission.

Li Kailang looked at the boxes carefully. Based on the size of the boxes, he guessed that they contained some large equipment.

But it is not clear what the specific device is.

Not long after, eight more people walked in.

At this time, Deputy Director Zhao also heard the noise and walked over from a distance.

"You are here!"

"Deputy Director Zhao!" everyone shouted.

"Okay, stop being so polite! Engineer Wu, Engineer Cui, take your people to take a closer look. Check it carefully. If there are any problems, tell us as soon as possible! The cargo ship hasn't left yet."

"Don't worry, we will check it carefully!" said Engineer Wu.

"I feel relieved when you say this." Deputy Director Zhao nodded, "You guys can get started. I won't interfere."

Leave professional matters to professionals. Since the deputy factory director is not in charge of the workshop work, he will naturally not interfere.

"Let's get started!" Engineer Wu said, and they split into groups of two to open the boxes.

"Bang!" The wooden boards of the large wooden box fell to the ground, stirring up dust.

Three identical huge machines appeared before everyone.

"This is... steelmaking equipment!" Li Kailang muttered to himself.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Engineer Cui explained, "This is an iron smelting machine that can smelt 30 tons of pig iron at a time."

"It's a lot more iron than what our factory can smelt now. If we can use it, it will greatly improve our factory's production efficiency."

"This machine uses the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking process."

“The main advantage of this process is that it can consume 50% more scrap steel than other processes, and it can also process high-phosphorus hot metal.”

Engineer Cui explained everything to everyone.

However, they were not workers in the workshop and could not understand what Engineer Cui was saying.

However, as they saw all the "high-end" and "profound" words entering their minds, they felt a sense of superiority and attached great importance to these mechanical equipment.

At the end of his speech, seeing that no one understood, Cui Gong didn't say anything more.

"Okay, everyone, stop looking and start checking!" Engineer Wu called on everyone else to start.

Li Kailang and a group of security guards could only watch and could not provide any help.

"Okay, stop standing there and see if you can help." He instructed the deputy factory director.

"No, Deputy Director Zhao, if you want to look, just look, but don't help. This piece of machinery is very valuable, and it would be terrible if it gets damaged."

"There is still a lot of time now. It will be urgent even if you slow down." Cui Jianshe hurriedly stopped him.

"Okay, let's listen to Engineer Cui!" Deputy Director Zhao also knew that he was anxious.

Everyone watched as the engineer and the eighth-level worker carefully checked it.

Under the leadership of Engineer Wu, they conducted a careful inspection of the equipment.

Open each component and check every detail to make sure there are no problems.
