Chapter 561 Zhou Tian’s Surprise
The next day, Zhou Tian rushed to the research institute early in the morning, and then drove straight to the engineering machinery factory.
Three days have passed since I received the good news call from Wu Quan from Liaodong.
According to preliminary estimates, the synthetic ammonia equipment he designed earlier could produce about 10,000 tons of ammonium nitrate per month, and the total fertilizer output would be about 13,000 tons.
This output is nearly three times the previous synthetic ammonia equipment, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Thinking of Wu Quan's excited and ecstatic laughter on the phone, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
In fact, Zhou Tian had a clear idea about the synthetic ammonia equipment he had carefully designed.
Triple the output is only a preliminary estimate. According to his design concept, if the workers can master the operation procedures of the equipment and maximize the performance of the equipment, it is not out of reach to increase the output to five times.
If we can mass-produce multiple sets of such equipment, achieving the goal of producing tens of millions of tons of fertilizer annually will not be a fantasy.
Unfortunately, after he reported the data, there was no response from above for some reason. However, just in case, he still asked the engineering machinery factory to produce five sets. He just didn't know how Dong Cheng had completed the task after three days.
The car sped along the road and rushed towards the construction machinery factory.
Perhaps thanks to the vigorous development of the institute's various branches, the entire suburb of Changping has long lost its dusty and desolate appearance. On both sides of the road, rows of willow trees are neatly planted, and the willow branches sway in the breeze, as if they are green ribbons that nature has decorated this land.
Compared to when I first arrived, the entire Changping suburbs have undergone tremendous changes.
The construction of the residential area is in full swing. From the community to the market, and then to the surrounding streets, smooth concrete roads have been paved, completely saying goodbye to the muddy dirt roads of the past.
On both sides of the street, street lamps are neatly arranged and tall poplar trees are lush and green. Looking around, dense trees can be seen everywhere in the suburban residential areas, factory areas, streets and roads. In terms of greening, Changping suburbs have even taken the lead among many factories.
The streets are neatly laid out, the rows of houses are staggered, and the architectural style is unique.
At this moment, in Zhou Tian's eyes, the suburbs of Changping looked like a prosperous county town in the 1980s.
Countless workers' families were strolling on the streets, their faces filled with happy smiles, and they were obviously very satisfied with the life here.
"Commander, this place is really prosperous!"
Yang Wu, who was driving, kept looking at the streets outside the car window, his eyes full of envy, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Although he had been with Zhou Tian for some time, he had never accompanied the leader to the Changping suburban branch before.
Before this, he had heard workers and technicians from the Graduate School mention that the branch factory had undergone tremendous changes, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still deeply shocked by the scene before him.
“It’s really good, but it’s not without flaws.”
Zhou Tian looked out the window at the towering skyscrapers, the neatly arranged street lamps and the willows dancing in the wind, and felt relieved. However, when he cast his eyes to the distant hills and the residential buildings still under construction, he could only tell himself that he still had a long way to go.
In less than forty minutes, the car stopped steadily in front of a brand new gate.
Above the gate, several large gold-plated characters sparkled brightly in the sunlight.
At the gate, five soldiers from the security department stood tall, with long rifles on their backs, and the bayonets on their rifles flashing a cold light.
Just as Zhou Tian slowly got down from the jeep, he saw a middle-aged man in a Mao suit and with a handsome face hurriedly walking out of the factory, followed by several familiar figures.
"Dean, why didn't you inform us in advance that you were coming? If the soldiers in the security department hadn't recognized your car, I would probably still be in the dark!" Dong Cheng said as he led a group of factory leaders behind him and quickly came forward.
"Haha, I just wanted to come and see what's going on in the factory, and by the way, see if you've been slacking off, boss." Zhou Tian smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one, then walked towards the interior of the engineering machinery factory, surrounded by everyone like the moon surrounded by stars.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the engineering machinery factory, Zhou Tian's eyes suddenly brightened. A striking statue came into view. He knew without asking that it must have been specially erected by the comrades in the factory who remembered his warning.
Zhou Tian looked serious and led everyone to the statue. He bowed deeply to express his respect, and then turned and walked towards the workshop.
Along the way, Zhou Tian admired the wide and flat square around him. The square was surrounded by rows of poplar trees, like a natural green barrier.
Outside the square, the leaves of many trees have turned yellow and fallen, forming a jungle of about ten acres.
In the jungle, a clear stream meanders through the jungle, with the water gurgling and flowing. On both sides of the stream, several wooden pavilions are scattered around, adding a touch of simplicity and elegance to the scenery. The overall look is tranquil and elegant.
On the right side of the square, surrounded by dense jungle, stand three 19-story buildings, which are the office building, dormitory, canteen and guesthouse of the engineering machinery factory.
"Not bad. I didn't expect that this place has become so perfect in just over half a year." Zhou Tian looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but sigh sincerely.
"Commander, we built the factory strictly according to your drawings. Now many workers say that this place is better than the Forbidden City!"
Dong Cheng said with a smile, his thoughts drifting back to the scene when he first came here.
At that time, this place was desolate and all you could see was endless wilderness.
But who would have thought that in just three years, this place has undergone tremendous changes, from a barren land to the prosperous area it is today. Even the mayor of Changping District once lamented that if the higher authorities did not agree, they would have wanted to move the Changping District Government here.
"Don't talk nonsense, how can this place compare to the Forty-Nine City?"
Zhou Tian glared at Dong Cheng when he heard this. Dong Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had said something wrong. He smiled awkwardly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
But Zhou Tian didn't lie. Although this place does look more prosperous than Sijiu City, in the final analysis, the development potential here is not as good as Sijiu City.
He had seen the development of Sijiu City in his previous life. It was not enough to describe it as advancing by leaps and bounds. It could even be said to be earth-shaking. The speed of construction and urban planning were enough to make the developed Sijiu City the best among all the cities except Shanghai and Guangzhou.
After all, this is just a district, and its development potential is already limited.
What Zhou Tian did was just to lay a solid foundation for the development of this land.
"Okay, have you finished what I asked you to do?"
Shaking his head, Zhou Tian didn't say anything else, but looked at Dong Cheng.
"Dean, it's all done!"
Dong Cheng never dared to be careless when it came to serious matters, and he said immediately.
This was also the reason why Zhou Tian asked him to manage the director of the engineering machinery factory.
"All five sets have been manufactured?"
As Zhou Tian spoke, he couldn't help but be amazed by the efficiency of the engineering machinery factory. He knew that the engineering machinery factory had other projects, and the synthetic ammonia equipment he designed was also a very complex equipment.
It was completed in just three days. When did the workers here become so skilled?
