Chapter 119

One side is from Xujiatuan, and the other side should be from Gaijia Village who often come to steal water.

There is a severe drought today. Even with the water storage in the Miyun Dam, it can only solve a small part of the irrigation water problem. Many places are still suffering from severe water shortage.

During normal droughts, people from Gaijia Village often come to steal water, so it is expected that they will come again this year.

But I didn’t expect that it happened just when Li Jiandong brought Ding Qiunan over.

It would not be a good thing for a single man or woman to come here and be discovered.

So Li Jiandong stopped the car and asked Ding Qiunan:
"How about going back today?"

"Ah, okay."

Although Ding Qiunan was not happy, there were so many people holding tools in front of her. She was also from the countryside and of course knew that a fight might very likely break out in this situation.

If I insist on going with Li Jiandong, what if I get injured?
It's not realistic to wait here.

It’s already so late, who knows how long we have to wait?

What if they can't solve it in a short time? Should they just keep waiting?

Li Jiandong turned the handlebars and was about to leave with Ding Qiunan.

Suddenly there was a commotion below, and then Li Jiandong saw Uncle Xu falling backwards to the ground. Other people from Xujiatuan rushed up and started fighting with the opposite side.

"Oh no! A real fight has broken out."

Li Jiandong can't leave now.

He had a good relationship with the people in Xujiatuan, especially his second uncle and Jianjun. If it was just a gang fight, it would have been fine if he didn't participate, but now his second uncle was lying on the ground unconscious.

It's a bit unreasonable that he has medical skills but he didn't help and instead left.

"Wait here and don't move. I'll go down and take a look."

Li Jiandong jumped out of the car and ran downstairs quickly.

Ding Qiunan shouted from behind: "Master, be careful."

Li Jiandong jumped a few times and reached the outskirts of the crowd. Uncle Xu was still lying on the ground motionless.

Li Jiandong was just about to run over to see what was going on when a man from Gaijia Village nearby raised a hoe and hit him with it.

Li Jiandong concentrated his mind, and the world in front of him instantly went into slow motion.

Including the villager from Gaijia Village nearby, everyone's movements slowed down by dozens of times, as if they were frozen in place.

Li Jiandong kicked directly, and even his movements became much slower. This was because his physical fitness could not keep up with his dynamic vision. It felt like he was kicking out in the water.

Although his movements were slow, he was still much faster than the other party. Before the other party's hoe hit him, he kicked the villager from Gaijia Village.

Li Jiandong's body had been strengthened, and he did not hold back when he kicked out in a hurry. His force was so great that the opponent was kicked out and fainted in the air.

"Shit, there's a fierce guy over here, let's kill him first."

Several people from Gaijia Village nearby found out that Li Jiandong was so powerful that instead of being scared, they gathered towards him.

However, in Li Jiandong's dynamic vision, their movements are no different from stopping.

After all, even bullets can have visible trajectories, and human speed is so much slower than that of bullets that Li Jiandong doesn't even need the highest 6 frames.

Using only one-tenth of the dynamic vision, you can see clearly the movements of everyone around you.

then
One punch, one down.

With one kick, he kicked one away.

In just a few seconds, all the villagers from Gaijia Village around him had fallen to the ground, and more than twenty people were curled up on the ground groaning.

At this time, Xu Jianjun and others also discovered Li Jiandong, and watched him like a god of war, knocking down a group of people with just a few gestures of his hands.

Everyone in Xujiatuan was stunned.

They had never seen such a fierce fight. If he was given enough strength and time, he could destroy an entire village by himself.

"You are not from Xujiatuan, who are you and why are you helping them?"

At this time, the people in Gaijia Village also discovered that Li Jiandong was someone they didn't know.

They have been fighting with the people of Xujiatuan for so many years, it is impossible that there are people they have not seen.

Xu Jianjun finally came to his senses from the shock and shouted in surprise, "Deputy Director Li, why are you here?"

Li Jiandong was also a little tired at this time. Although his dynamic vision and level 2 fighting were very powerful, he knocked down more than people in just two minutes.

But even with his strengthened body, he couldn't sustain such efficient fighting for too long.

At this moment, Second Uncle Xu was still lying on the ground. Li Jiandong walked over and said, "Go see Second Uncle first."

This time no one dared to stop him. When Li Jiandong walked over, the people from Xujiatuan and Gaijia Village took the initiative to move to the sides.

The people of Xujiatuan certainly did it out of respect, while the people of Gaijiacun were just afraid of being beaten.

When he came to Uncle Xu, Li Jiandong found that he was not knocked unconscious, but the other party just pushed him.

What really caused him to fall to the ground was not the external injury but hypoglycemia.

In other words, hungry.

Hypoglycemia is not a trivial matter. Although it can be relieved by eating something, if it is serious, it is easy to faint, have convulsions, or even die.

Uncle Xu is old, and the harvest has been declining since last year, so he doesn't have enough food to eat, which led to his fainting today.

Fortunately, Li Jiandong arrived in time, otherwise he would have been unconscious for too long, causing irreversible damage to his brain.

"Who has food? Bring it out."

Li Jiandong shouted to the person next to him.

"Who has food? Deputy Director Li, we are here to fight and we didn't bring any food. Hurry up, someone go back and get some food."

“No thanks, Qiu Nan.”

Li Jiandong suddenly shouted to the boy, "Bring my bag here."

When they left in the morning, Qin Huairu put a few eggs and a canteen of water in Li Jiandong's bag. Li Jiandong only drank a few sips of water on the way and didn't eat a single egg.

Soon Ding Qiunan came running over with a shoulder bag.

"Master, your bag."

Ding Qiunan picked up the shoulder bag.

Li Jiandong took it in his hand, quickly took out the egg, peeled it and handed it to Xu Jianjun next to him: "Chew it up and feed it to Uncle Er."

"what?"

Xu Jianjun was a little confused.

Li Jiandong said anxiously, "Hurry up, Second Uncle has low blood sugar. If he faints for a long time, it may cause brain dysfunction. Just chew the egg and feed it to him."

"okay."

Xu Jianjun took the egg and started chewing it.

Li Jiandong helped his second uncle up and leaned him against him, then waited for Xu Jianjun to chew the egg into a paste and put it into his second uncle's mouth, and then he fed it to him little by little with water.

Li Jiandong finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching his second uncle eat the egg.

Xu Jianjun asked, "Deputy Director Li, how is my second uncle?"

Li Jiandong sighed and said, "Nothing, I'm just hungry."

After that, he looked up at Xu Jianjun and said, "Why don't you come to me when you have no food? I can't say if there is too much, but I can still get you some cornmeal. It's not a day or two since Second Uncle has been hungry like this. He is too old to come to me, and as a son, you don't care about him?"

Xu Jianjun was so scolded that he had nothing to say.

These country people are so simple. They won’t ask others for help even if they have no food. Everyone in the village is like this. Even if they starve to death, they will just find a way out on their own.

"Are you still going to fight? If not, we'll have to pump water."

At this time, the village chief of Gaijia Village suddenly shouted from seven or eight meters away.

Xu Jianjun was feeling aggrieved but had nowhere to vent. Hearing this, he immediately gripped the shovel and responded, "Come on, if you want to be beaten, we at Xujiatuan will accompany you. Let's see who can walk back today."

Seeing that the people from the two villages were on the verge of a fight again, Li Jiandong suddenly shouted:
"Stop arguing."

As soon as he spoke, people from both villages fell silent.

Li Jiandong handed his second uncle to a man from Xujiatuan nearby, stood up, looked at the people from Gaijia Village and said,
"Don't you just want water? You have been stealing other people's water for so many years. Why don't you dig a reservoir to store water for your own use?"

In the past two years, not only have local governments built dams to store water, but villages have also been digging wells and reservoirs.

There are many people like Gaijia Village who steal water from others when they have no water, but not all of them. "Why should we dig a reservoir? Dongbeigou is much closer to our village than Xujiatuan. This reservoir should belong to our village, at least half of the village. Why did the higher-ups just give such a large reservoir to Xujiatuan?"

The head of Gaijia Village was not convinced.

The other people from Gaijia Village next to him also started complaining.

"That's right. Why should such a large reservoir be given to Xujiatuan? The reservoir in our village has less than one-tenth of the water volume in Dongbeigou. It's not enough even when there's a lot of rain. When there's a severe drought like this, wouldn't it mean we're going to die without water?"

"We dug the Pingtang Reservoir ourselves. It took all the men in the village two years to dig out such a large pond.

But the water level has already reached the bottom and will dry up if it doesn’t rain. They still have so much water in the Northeast Ditch, but they won’t let us use it. What else can we do if we don’t grab it?”

"You are an outsider who knows nothing. What right do you have to tell us what to do? Today, we can't defeat you by helping Xujiatuan. At worst, we can come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Anyway, we have no water and we are doomed. We will take you guys with us before we die."

"Yes, without water we will all die together. If we can't survive, you can't expect to survive either."

The people in Gaijia Village were very excited, and Xujiatuan was also arguing for their rights.

Li Jiandong was also helpless when he heard this. After all, this was a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster.

The people of Gaijia Village have tried hard, but manual excavation is indeed inefficient.

There are certainly many cases like Gaijia Village across the country.

Even if Li Jiandong resolves the current dispute, he cannot solve the root cause.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

Li Jiandong is now relatively capable, and he feels that he should be able to do something to help the farmers.

"Jianjun, do we have enough water? Can you give them some?"

Li Jiandong asked Xu Jianjun.

We are all compatriots. There is no need to fight to the death over a little water.

Of course, if you give water to the other person and then have no water to use, that’s another statement.

So, Li Jiandong first asked Xu Jianjun if there was enough water.

If it is enough, we will consider giving some to Gaijia Village. If it is not enough, we will find other ways.

Xu Jianjun pondered for a moment and said, "It should be enough, but not too much more. The key is that if we give it to them today, what will they do tomorrow? If we don't have water then, our crops will die anyway."

Li Jiandong nodded.

"Well, since there is enough water, let them pump some out today. I will find a way to get an excavator to help you expand the pond later."

Excavators have been around for a long time, and they are purely domestically produced.

But today's domestically produced excavators are very backward. They are the kind of mechanical excavators from the World War I era, imitating the old models from Big Brother. They are not only large in size but also very inefficient.

Li Jiandong's current mechanical engineering level is level 5, and his car manufacturing engineer level has reached level 4. In addition to his maximum level of mechanics and mechanical proficiency, I believe that building a hydraulic excavator should not be a problem.

The key is time, it may take one or two months.

As long as the water from Xujiatuan can be used by the two villages within two months, once the excavator is built, these villages will not have to worry too much about water.

Of course, you can’t just build an excavator whenever you want. You have to report and get approval first.

When the hydraulic engine is developed, it will be of great help to the national industrial development. Both the Ministry of Industry and higher-level leaders will attach great importance to it.

Therefore, as long as it is developed, manufacturing will definitely not be a problem.

"Well, since you said so, let's let them smoke for two days."

Although Xu Jianjun was not very willing, he had to give Li Jiandong face.

When the people in Gaijia Village heard that Li Jiandong was actually speaking for them, they were all filled with disbelief.

It was not until Xu Jianjun told them that they could pump water that they suddenly realized this was actually true.

bang.

The village chief of Gaijia Village knelt down before Li Jiandong and kowtowed three times.

"Brother, we in Gaijia Village will remember your kindness. We will definitely repay you when we have the chance in the future."

Li Jiandong said: "This is the water from Xujiatuan. If you want to thank someone, thank them."

However, the chief of Gaijia Village snorted coldly. The two villages had been fighting for so many years, and the hatred had accumulated very deeply. Even if Xujiatuan allowed them to pump water this time, the grudge could not be resolved in a short time.

Li Jiandong said a few more words to Xu Jianjun and then left with Ding Qiunan.

Back at the courtyard, Ding Qiunan was a little depressed. She had such a good opportunity to be alone with Li Jiandong, but ended up running into something like two villages fighting over water. It could only be said that it was fate that played tricks on her.

the next day.

Li Jiandong arrived at the steel rolling mill and went straight to Director Yang's office.

After knocking on the door and walking in, Director Yang saw that it was him and asked, "Jiandong, what's the matter?"

"Director Yang, I recently had an idea to research a new type of excavator that is much more efficient and controllable than the current excavators. Once successfully developed, it will definitely be a great help to our country's construction."

Li Jiandong went straight to the point and expressed his thoughts.

Building an excavator is not technically difficult, but it is still very difficult for one person to get all the parts.

With so many spare parts, one can imagine the difficulty of research and development alone.

What's more, there is approval and post-production, all of which require the cooperation of many people.

When Director Yang heard Li Jiandong's idea, he immediately perked up.

"Jiandong, your idea is very good, but how sure are you?
After all, our steel mill is not engaged in heavy machinery. If we can make it ourselves, it is not a big deal. If we need the cooperation of our brother units, we should try to be as safe as possible. "

Director Yang has worked in this position for many years and is very familiar with the R&D process.

If the steel rolling mill can produce it itself, it won't be a big problem. At most, it will sacrifice some production time to do research. It only takes a few workshops, so it's not a big problem.

However, the research and development of heavy machinery has little to do with the steel rolling mill, so we will definitely have to invite people from outside to participate in the research and development.

Other people’s engineers are also treasures.

If the project proposed by Li Jiandong has a low success rate, wouldn’t that be a waste of other people’s precious time?
Li Jiandong pondered for a moment and said:

"Director Yang, I am 100% sure that the idea of ​​the hydraulic excavator will succeed. If you can provide me with more mechanical engineers, I can even guarantee that the test product can be manufactured within two months."

"Oh, so fast?"

Director Yang's eyes lit up.

Although he is not the director of a machinery factory, as a member of a heavy industry enterprise, Director Yang has some knowledge about some machinery. We have been able to produce excavators ourselves a long time ago.

But as we all know, it is very backward, and even the imitations can only imitate products that are one era behind.

People won’t sell high-end products to us, and even if they did, we might not be able to make them.

Li Jiandong wanted to research it himself, which was much more difficult than imitating, but he dared to guarantee that he could do it in two months.

Director Yang didn't quite believe what he said, but he felt that Li Jiandong was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense.

"Since you are so confident, I will definitely support you with all my strength. Go back and find someone to write a project application, and I will submit it to the senior leader for review. If it is acceptable, it will be approved tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. By then, the higher-ups will help us arrange for talents to come here."

The previous development of self-service equipment followed this process.

If the Ministry of Industry had not asked Nangang for people, the other party would not have sent so many engineers to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to do research.

After all, their engineers are much better than those of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in terms of quality, quantity and experience.

"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare."

Li Jiandong nodded, turned and left.

It took Li Jiandong a whole morning to write the project application. There was no lengthy statement, but he simply stated that he wanted to research hydraulic excavators.

Director Yang also attaches great importance to this matter.

Heavy industry is the core of industry, and the research and development of heavy machinery and equipment is the most important part of heavy industry.

Don’t underestimate this small excavator. If it can be successfully developed, it will definitely have a huge impact on national construction.

He sent his driver directly to the Ministry of Industry to deliver the application.

Soon, the excavator research application was placed on the desk of the leaders of Bi Da.
The leader of Bi University just came back from a meeting.

Now the country has a lot of things to do. Whether it is agriculture or industry, everyone is trying hard to make progress. Leader Bi is in charge of heavy industry, which is steel rolling, machinery, smelting, energy, etc.
Each of these industries is very important, so they are particularly likely to attract the attention of superiors, and if there is any shortcomings in any aspect, it is easy to be criticized.

At this meeting, he was criticized by his leader because the heavy machinery under his jurisdiction was too inefficient and too few in number.
