Chapter 107 Chemical Fibers
China Textile Science Research Institute
Several scientific researchers in white coats are sitting in front of a huge drawing, their eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
"Old Li, take a look at the production process of petrochemical fiber. It is decades more advanced than our existing technology!" said a middle-aged researcher, Engineer Zhang, pointing to the flow chart on the drawing.
Old Li adjusted his glasses, looked at the drawings carefully, and nodded: "Yes, this is not only a technological leap, but also a huge boost to our country's textile industry. Once we master these technologies, we won't have to worry about fabric shortages anymore."
In another corner of the laboratory, a young researcher named Xiao Liu was debugging a newly introduced instrument. His face was full of concentration, and his fingers were operating the instrument quickly.
"Xiao Liu, how's the progress over there?" asked Engineer Zhang.
Xiao Liu raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Engineer Zhang, this instrument is the key to aromatics production technology. I have almost debugged it. Just give me a little more time, and I guarantee that I can make it operate as envisioned on the blueprint."
At this moment, the door of the laboratory was pushed open and an old man walked in. He was the person in charge of this project, Professor Chen.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Professor Chen said in a gentle but firm voice. "I know these technologies are a huge challenge for us, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and realize the freedom of clothing for people across the country."
Old Li took over the conversation: "Professor Chen, you are right. We must not only make these technologies take root, but also make them bear fruit. We want people all over the country to wear comfortable and beautiful clothes, and no longer have to go out on the street with fertilizer bags on their heads."
Recalling the news media reports not long ago, that scene left an indelible mark in everyone's mind. The people of their country actually cleverly transformed those urea fertilizer bags imported from small countries into pairs of pants.
Behind this seemingly ordinary creativity, there is a fact revealed: the Chinese people have no clothes to wear!
Those fertilizer bags were supposed to nourish the earth, but now they have become part of people's lives, which seems like a helpless irony. Such a change makes people feel sad.
In everyone's heart, such a change is not a sense of pride, but a sense of heaviness.
It makes people realize that the pressure of life has forced the Chinese people to find a way out from such details. This kind of depression and discomfort cannot be easily expressed in words. It is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart and makes people unable to let go.
The atmosphere in the laboratory suddenly became a little heavy, and everyone worked overtime without any prior agreement, hoping to transform these technologies into productivity as soon as possible.
In the following days, the researchers devoted themselves to the research day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, forgetting the passage of time, just for the common goal of enabling the people of the country to achieve freedom of clothing.
Whenever they encounter difficulties, they always encourage and support each other. Engineer Zhang guides young Xiao Liu with his rich experience; Lao Li uses his professional knowledge to overcome technical difficulties one after another; and Xiao Liu brings endless motivation to the team with the vitality and innovative spirit of young people.
Finally, after countless days and nights of hard work, they successfully mastered a series of advanced technologies such as petrochemical fiber, Yizheng chemical fiber, aromatic production technology and polyester industry chain. The application of these technologies has greatly improved the level of my country's textile industry and made the production of fabrics more efficient and environmentally friendly.
When the first batch of fabrics produced by the new technology came out, the whole laboratory was boiling. Everyone gathered together, touching the soft and smooth fabrics, with smiles of pride and joy on their faces.
"We succeeded! We succeeded! We did it! We really did it!" Zhang Gong said excitedly, "People across the country don't have to worry about clothes anymore!"
Old Li also expressed deep emotion: "Yes, the problem of clothing difficulties in our country will finally be solved in our generation."
Xiao Liu looked at the fabrics with admiration in his eyes: "I heard that these materials are just a drop in the ocean of Mr. Gao's remains. I don't know how Mr. Gao came up with so many scientific research results. It's a pity that I can't work with him!"
……
With the widespread application of technology, China's textile industry has ushered in opportunities for vigorous development.
Linquan Textile Factory
Machines roared in the production workshop, and workers were busy shuttling between textile machines. The spools in their hands kept turning, and pieces of cloth were slowly taking shape under the traction of the machines.
Lin Jianye's face was filled with irrepressible joy. He walked to the latest textile machine and carefully observed the cloth slowly sliding off the machine. The cloth was soft and smooth, with a very high gloss, obviously different from previous products.
"Great, the quality of this batch of fabrics is really great!" Lin Jianye shouted excitedly. He couldn't help but reach out to touch the fabrics, his fingers gently sliding across the fabrics, feeling the delicate touch.
Xiao Wang, a worker next to him, looked at Lin Jianye's excitement and couldn't help laughing: "Director, this batch of fabrics is really good. With this new technology, we don't have to worry about raw materials anymore. In the future, we can produce as much as we want and make all kinds of new clothes to wear as we like!"
"That's right. This time our Linquan Textile Factory has really caught up with the right time." Lin Jianye nodded in agreement. "With these new technologies, we no longer have to deal with all those urgent orders!"
As he was talking, the factory director came in. Seeing the excitement of Lin Jianye and the workers, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Jianye, I heard that the quality of your batch of fabrics is very good. Is this true?"
"Of course it's real, Director." Lin Jianye replied, "Look at this fabric, its glossiness and softness are much better than our previous products."
The factory manager reached out and touched the cloth, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Good, very good! This time our Linquan Textile Factory will work at full capacity and increase production so that more people can use this high-quality cloth as soon as possible."
"Yes, Director, I promise to complete the task!"
……
As more and more cloth was produced, the workload of the Quality Inspection Department became heavier and heavier, and Lin Yuxi and Zeng Ling became busier and busier.
"Xixi, how about we change jobs?" Shen Minghui advised while massaging his wife's sore muscles. Their family didn't need that much money, so there was no need to work so hard for a little money.
"Let's talk about it later!" Lin Yuxi hesitated for a moment, but still refused, "The factory is in need of manpower right now, I can't just abandon my job and run away!"
Shen Minghui said helplessly, "But look how tired you are. You go out early and come back late every day. I feel bad for you."
"I know you're worried about me," Lin Yuxi held Shen Minghui's hand, "but everyone is very busy, I can't just sit there doing nothing, let's wait a little longer, maybe after this busy period of time, things will get better!"
Shen Minghui knew his wife's character, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then take care of yourself and don't get too tired."
"Brother, sister-in-law, it's time to eat!" Shen Minglei's voice sounded outside.
