A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 538 Jiang Qiu's Little Ambition.

Leaving aside Jiang Xia chasing Jiang Dong and running around the mountain, Teacher Liang walked up to Grandma.

"As expected of a prodigy! He even came up with something like this. But I've seen a road roller in the Lobster Country that's this tall and this wide! That thing, it compacts the road as soon as it drives over it..."

Teacher Liang started gesturing as she spoke, "Oh, right, I also made a note of its appearance. Sister, could you take it to your son and see if it can inspire him?"

The old man sighed, "The country has not yet risen up, and our peers still need to work hard! However, the one that Xiao Jiang made is quite small and compact, which is really suitable for use on small construction sites."

After saying that, the old man started rummaging through his large leather bag. He pulled out a sketchbook and found it full of drawings of ancient buildings.

The first few pages were yellowed, and one of them had half a purple petal tucked inside.

When Teacher Liang turned to the page with the drawing of a foreign road roller, he was about to tear it out. But the sound of tearing paper slowed him down.

After a pause, Teacher Liang shook his head, tapped his knuckles on the sketchbook, and sighed softly: "Back in the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, you said, 'Removing a brick means losing a bit of the backbone of the beams and pillars.' Now, every crease in this booklet is our mortise and tenon joint."

Suddenly he pressed the notebook to his chest, his glasses fogged up. "You can't take it apart... If you take it apart, the surveying location diagrams you drew inside won't match."

"If I remove this tile from your roof, my roof ridge will have nowhere to rest."

Grandma Jiang looked at Teacher Liang, who was lost in memories, and shook her head helplessly: "Alright, if you don't want it to be dismantled, then keep it for yourself! As for that road roller, my grandson seems to have gotten the blueprints, so we don't need your fancy but useless stuff!"

Jiang Qiu felt a little sorry for her, so she tugged at her grandmother's sleeve and pulled her aside, saying, "Grandma! Their love story is so beautiful! Teacher Liang is so affectionate, it's not right for you to say such things about him!"

"So romantic my foot! He's already hooking up with a female student!"

"what?"

Jiang Qiu was so shocked that his mouth and eyes were crooked. He glanced at Teacher Liang, who was still grieving, and then hid behind his grandmother.

"You! Be more careful. Most of these people who came back from abroad are no good. Especially those who dropped out of school!"

"In the future, try to avoid contact with these so-called celebrities. If you want to associate with them, you should follow your brother around more. He's the one who associates with the real celebrities!"

Jiang Qiu recalled the old man she met when her brother led her in raising the flag, and nodded in agreement.

But looking at Jiang Xia, who was being dragged and rubbed along the ground by Jiang Dong halfway up the mountain, Jiang Qiu's lips twitched again: "Okay, Grandma. But, I'm really interested in architecture!"

Seeing his grandmother's reproachful look, Jiang Qiu shook his head: "Grandma, it's true. My brother once said that there are so many machines in construction that he hasn't figured out yet, like cranes, elevators, pile drivers, and so many more..."

"With these machines, my brother said we can build a building in three months!"

"That way, we can all live in apartment buildings, wouldn't that be great!"

"If only I could have ten thousand mansions, I could shelter all the poor scholars of the world and make them all smile with joy." Jiang Qiu paused, and the gleam in his eyes made his grandmother a little stunned.

"Grandma! If we all live in apartment buildings, won't we have entered socialism? That way, in front of that old man, he can proudly say to me: Jiang Qiu is a good comrade!"

"Is this the person you asked me to help deliver the flowers to last time?"

"OK!"

Grandma's eyes softened even more as she patted Jiang Qiu's head: "It's good that you have this intention. But don't follow that playboy's example, Grandma will find you someone better!"

"Hey, Grandma, don't try to fool me! Professor Liang founded the architecture department in Wudaokou, who's more capable than him?"

"Well, you're still young, it's normal that you haven't heard of him. Let me tell you first that his surname is 'Bei,' and he's currently with the Bald Eagles! We'll talk about the rest after Grandma gets in touch with him."

"This playboy is into ancient architecture. You want all the comrades to live in apartment buildings? His knowledge is not enough!"

"Okay, Grandma!" Jiang Qiu nodded blankly, then looked up at her older brother who was being rubbed by Jiang Dong and was squealing. Her beautiful eyebrows twitched a few times.

"Hey, Grandma. How do you know people from the Bald Eagles' side?"

Grandma looked up at the younger generation playing on the hillside, her smile never fading: "That's right, that's called hiding your tracks! Jiang Dong, teach your older brother a lesson, he's a big guy, even the kids can't beat him!"

Hearing her granddaughter's question, the grandmother lowered her head and whispered in Jiang Qiu's ear, "I studied at Wesleyan College in the past."

"Grandma!" Jiang Qiu was speechless, her phoenix eyes widening like copper bells: "You, what you just said was..."

Grandma covered Jiang Qiu's mouth, winking at her like a child: "This is our secret! I haven't even told your silly older brother!"

After saying that, Grandma tugged at Jiang Qiu.

"Alright, with your brother's machine, it seems like the dam ramming shouldn't be a problem. Liang Lao Er, stop standing there! Come on, let's see how to dig the drainage ditch!"

"Ah...oh!" Teacher Liang touched the corner of her eye, bent over and quickly ran to Grandma Jiang's side.

“Start digging from here, then like this, and then like that…”

Teacher Liang gestured for a while, and finally opened his notebook, pointing to the diagrams on it for his grandmother to see: "Big sister, what do you think? This is a design I came up with based on the idea of ​​the Baopingkou in Dujiangyan. The silt in Xiaoqinggou is quite large, so we only need to clear the sand here and here! If we can use cement, I guarantee this project can last for a hundred years!"

Grandma Jiang nodded, took out the red flag in her hand and waved it again: "Assemble! Wuzhu, you stay here. A few of the older folks stay here and watch the machine. The rest of you, come and dig the ditch!"

The hundred or so people immediately got to work upon hearing their grandmother's command.

A cloud of dust billowed up, and the lively scene prompted Jiang Xia, who was lying on the snow halfway up the mountain, to sigh again: "I've only ever seen scenes like this in documentaries..."

Hey, you know what, the awe-inspiring scene of large-scale collective work was truly unparalleled in later generations.

The main difference lies in their spirit and energy; that indomitable spirit is truly exceptional!

But if we have excavators, why not use them?

Jiang Xia was about to remind everyone when he looked back at the path they had come from...

Well, never mind, this road is manageable for small cannons, but for the rest of the machinery, the passability is a bit lacking...

Hmm? How about we get a small one, like the Shandong Construction Machinery JCM906D? It may look like a toy, but it's really capable of doing a good job.

Hey, an octopus?

"An octopus excavator seems like it could work too! Those four supporting legs are so futuristic!" Jiang Xia thought for a moment, then fell into longing for a better life, no longer caring about being punished by Jiang Dong.

Ok?

Who is coming?

Despite the impact from Jiang Dong, Jiang Xia squinted and looked at a group of people climbing along the path.

"Fifth Brother, who are those people coming from over there?"

"I don't know!" Jiang Dong lay directly on Jiang Xia's body, curled his hands into a barrel shape and examined her for a while, then let out a "┗|｀O′|┛ Aww~~".

"Hey! The revenge squad is here! Everyone grab your weapons and charge!"
