"I''ll go and finally arrive..." I heard the roar of the engine from a distance, but I saw a piece of buildings hidden in the depths of the Gobi desert with lights on for more than an hour.
There is a popular saying in Bashu - look at the house and walk to cry.
In this deserted Gobi desert, I heard the roar of the engine 20 kilometers away, but I didn''t get here until now. Yun Fei really wanted to cry.
"Mr. Yun, the conditions of the test site are poor, you Haihan..." Qian Yiming, the head of the engine high-altitude platform test site of 810 Aviation Engine Research Institute, is a thin middle-aged man in his forties. He doesn''t know whether it''s too windy and sandy here or what. He looks older than haggard Hou Mingrui. He''s about to catch up with them from time to time.
"It''s all right. Is there hot water here? I''ll take a bath first... "For the depths of the Gobi desert, Yunfei doesn''t expect to have much good conditions at all. At the moment, he just wants to take a good hot bath, and then lie in bed and have a good sleep
"This..." hearing Yun Fei''s request, Qian Yiming was embarrassed immediately.
Yun Fei was stunned. Is it so difficult to take a hot bath? Is it difficult to take a cold bath on the Gobi desert where there are only a few degrees this night?
"Cloud boy, don''t embarrass director Qian. All supplies at the test site have to be transported by a weekly train. Vegetables and fresh water are the most scarce supplies..." Huang qiaosong once stayed in the northwest Gobi desert. Naturally, he knows why Qian Yiming is embarrassed
"Isn''t it? There are not more than 100 people in this testing ground. I just saw that there are many young girls who welcome us. Don''t they all take a bath? " Yun Fei was stunned immediately.
In Bashu, it has never been considered that there will be water shortage in other places in the world. Even though he had heard that the North was short of water before, he often went to the headquarters of Beizhong and never encountered these problems. When the faucet was turned on, there was hot water.
"Almost. Because of the problem of funds, the special train for transporting materials only comes once a week, and the base has more than 100 people. The water transported by the train can only be used for one week, which has been the case since the establishment of this test site. " Hou Mingrui said lonely to Yunfei.
"The girls in this experimental field can only get a basin of water to scrub their bodies every week, and can take a bath twice a month, while gay men can take a bath once a month. After all, the north is not as hot and humid as the South..."
Yun Fei was really stunned.
To Li Lu, it seems that they always wash once every morning and evening. Even if they don''t take a bath one day, or wash less once, they feel uncomfortable all day. Like this, they can only scrub their bodies with a little water every day and clean their bodies in half a month. It''s unimaginable
"The conditions are much better now. In the 1980s, don''t even expect bath water. Someone once joked that you have to be prepared to take a bath three times in your life. Once at birth is a respect for life; When you get married once, you want to present the most beautiful day of your life perfectly; One death is to let the king of hell see it more clearly so as not to misjudge it into something else... "Although it is a joke, Qian Yiming said it very heavily.
If it is elsewhere, for the money of Yunfei, the investor, those in charge will definitely bring the water everyone drinks to Yunfei to take a bath without hesitation. But Qian Yiming can''t do such a thing. If he could do it, he would never be in charge of this place.
Hearing this, Yun Fei was very nervous. If he hadn''t experienced such a thing personally, it would be something he couldn''t imagine
She sighed and was about to say that''s it. When she went to bed first, a group of women poured in. Several of them carried a large wooden bucket, and young girls in gray overalls carried several buckets of steaming water into the corridor
"Mr. Yun, the bath water is hot..." a woman in her thirties, with a dark spot the size of her thumb on her left face, smiled at Yun Fei.
Yun Fei was stunned, and when he saw the girl, Huang qiaosong''s eyes immediately became twinkling, but no one noticed the problem.
Don''t you mean lack of water? Where did the water come from?
"Xiao Huang, what are you doing?" Hou Mingrui obviously knows the visitor.
"Director Hou, boss Yunda is our big rich man. Without his capital investment, our Yan Huang might be like turbofan 8 in those years. China has lost 20 years and can''t lose another 20 years..." Huang Yiying said to Hou Mingrui with a smile, "President Yun, go, put this bucket in your room. Our conditions are poor, It was originally an abandoned test site, because our Yanhuang project was restarted after the engine test here, and the sisters love to be clean, so they can only wash it in a wooden bucket... "
"Elder sister, forget taking a bath. Everyone is like this. I''m not a big man. Anyway, I haven''t had a bath for several days, and now I''m used to it... "NIMA, it''s so clear. This bucket of water is definitely more valuable than gold soup!
It is absolutely impossible to make any commitment without determining whether the Yanhuang engine can match their aircraft.
"Xiao Ying, what are you doing? Whether the engine is suitable for their plane is uncertain... "Huang qiaosong, who has been looking complex, quietly wiped his tears while everyone was not paying attention and said to Huang Yiying.
"Mr. Yun, no matter what the final result is, as the first customer of Yanhuang engine, we should treat you well. Don''t worry about washing. These water are the war reserve water saved by our sisters at ordinary times. Sisters, am I right? " Huang Yiying ignored Huang qiaosong, but still smiled and said to Yunfei.
Perhaps because of the harsh environment, Yun Fei saw a kind of optimism that made him palpitate in this ugly woman.
"Yes, Mr. Yun, go and wash it quickly. The water will be cold in a moment..." several other women answered with a smile, and a girl with a dimple on her left face directly pulled Yun Fei into the room
Finally, Yun Fei jumped into the bucket filled with half a bucket of water, sat in the bucket just submerged to his chest and took the most expensive hot bath for him in his life
"Gentlemen, I don''t want to say anything else. No matter whether this engine can meet the use of Yanlong COMAC, I will be responsible for the R & D funds of civil engines for this engine project! " After taking a bath, Yun Fei was taken to the canteen of the test site, where the whole test site was waiting for him.
Give him a welcome meeting.
The base is short of materials. Although there is no shortage of staple food, it is basically difficult to see green vegetables here. It doesn''t mean that transportation doesn''t come in, but in a place where the train has to walk for a day or two and have to transit for several days, any fresh green vegetables will rot.
Unless transported by helicopter.
However, this was originally a project supported by the misappropriation of funds from other projects by plant 132. The research funds were extremely tight. Naturally, it could be saved.
However, at the welcome dinner, the test site still took out their best food and produced seven or eight dishes, including lunch meat, stewed beef with potatoes, stewed cabbage with pork, which are dishes that cloud doesn''t even want to touch at ordinary times
Hearing Yunfei''s words, Ma Fengshan and Cheng looked at each other from time to time, and both saw doubts from each other''s eyes. At the 810 Research Institute in Chengdu, Yunfei doesn''t say so.
"Pop pop..." suddenly, there was a burst of warm applause in the whole canteen. Some girls cheered. With the capital injected by Yunfei, a big financier, they will never have any problems if they want to make China''s own engine.
"Maybe this is the most wrong investment decision in my life. Since you are willing to devote your youth to this project, I don''t care about such a little research funds. Before coming here, director Hou Mingrui told me that this project may need 420 million to 500 million research funds. Perhaps everyone knows that these funds are nothing to me. But for this project, for those of you who are really engaged in technology and dedicated to our country, I think this is very key. " Yun Fei said solemnly.
Five hundred million dollars is really nothing.
As he said, these funds, for this project, are everything.
"I am a businessman, a businessman who pursues interests. Originally, from the perspective of pursuing interests, I should not say such words and make such commitments at this time. However, seeing you, I have to change my original intention. Rather than invest money in Ukraine, I might as well invest this money in our own research team in China! Sister Huang, you have successfully sold me 500 million yuan in a bucket of water. You are the most successful marketer! " After Yunfei''s words, the people below immediately burst into laughter.
A bucket of bath water sold for 500 million, which can be said to be the most expensive bath water in the world.
Yun Fei''s words excited all the researchers and even logistics personnel in the test site. Wine is like no money, especially when Yunfei promised to introduce them, and they are all the diamond king five of his 91 Research Institute, it attracted rounds of wine filling.
Until the end, Yunfei didn''t know how to get back to the room.
