The technological empire begins with polymer materials - Chapter 3 Knowledge is power!
Gao Yuan’s home is in Shaoxing.
I think back then, his father, Gao Xiangnan, was originally from the north. He came to Shaoxing as a soldier and met Gao Yuan’s mother by chance.
After retiring from the army, Gao Xiangnan traveled north and south with his wife and son. It was not until the past ten years that he officially settled in Shaoxing because he opened a factory.
In this regard, people often joke that Gao Xiangnan has the word “xiangnan” in his name, and sure enough, he finally left his hometown and really came to live in the south.
Due to this family background, Gao Yuan’s living habits are quite mixed. He likes light side dishes from the south, such as garlic and green onions dipped in soybean paste. He eats them equally happily. He can drink rice wine and white wine. Of course, Gao Yuan’s favorite Still beer.
Taking the key to open the door, who would have thought that in broad daylight, there would be no one at home.
Gao Yuan originally thought it was nothing. His father was always busy on weekdays. As for his mother, she might have gone to visit.
However, when Gao Yuan went to the kitchen and took a look, he immediately felt that something was wrong. The family had obviously not cooked for two or three days. There were not even any leftovers in the refrigerator, and the vegetables still in the corner were moldy.
So Gao Yuan quickly called his mother and heard that his son had returned home. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Gao Yuan’s mother hesitated and told him about his father’s hospitalization.
Gao Yuan was so frightened that he dropped his suitcase and rushed to the hospital.
“Why didn’t you tell me such a big thing?” Gao Yuan complained to his mother after seeing her in the corridor of the hospital.
“Don’t I think you are busy at work? I don’t want to cause you any trouble.” Mother said softly.
“What’s going on? Is it okay for my dad?” Gao Yuan asked anxiously. He was suddenly very happy for his sudden decision to resign.
“Hey, your dad doesn’t pay much attention to his health. He often stays up late and eats heavy on oil and salt. This time the doctor said he had a cerebral infarction. Although it’s not fatal, it’s just…”
The mother hesitated to speak. Gao Yuan became anxious and asked again.
“You will understand later when you see for yourself.” Mother said helplessly.
Pushing open the ward, I saw that it was a three-person room. Gao Xiangnan was sitting by the window, stuffing pillows around his waist, leaning on the bed, looking out the window.
After he saw the plateau, he showed a kind expression on his face and spoke hesitantly. It was not that he couldn’t speak at all, but his tongue was a little curled up and his accent was very strange.
After comforting his father for a few words, Gao Yuan went to the doctor and learned that his father had sequelae after a cerebral infarction, and his speech and actions were affected.
Judging from the current situation, there is no problem for my father to eat and go to the toilet alone, but it is difficult to do complicated things such as driving and typing.
It is a blessing among misfortunes. At least I can still play mahjong and live a long life. Many patients with cerebral infarction have never been able to afford the disease again, and there are not a few who are paralyzed.
Now that Gao Yuan is back, his mother asks him to stay with him in the ward and go home to cook and clean the housework.
If nothing unexpected happens, my father will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. My mother is a diligent person who cares about all the big and small things at home.
The next day came in a blink of an eye. Gao Yuan, who had been accompanying him all night, bought soy milk, fried dough sticks and rice dumplings from outside and had breakfast with his father.
Around eight o’clock, my mother also came to the hospital. My father slowly opened the drawer and took out the car keys for Gao Yuan.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to drive in the future. I’ll leave it to you. I’ll stop by the factory to have a look.”
This sentence was quite simple, but it was very difficult for his father to say it. When Gao Yuan nodded in agreement, Gao Xiangnan was relieved. With the support of his mother, he went to the garden to bask in the sun.
Gao Yuan suddenly felt sad. His father, who was born in the military and had always been strong, might only be able to spend his time fishing and walking in the future. At worst, he would have to raise some flowers and plants.
In this life, things are really unpredictable.
My father’s car is a Honda Accord that has been driven for more than ten years. Its performance is not bad, but it has an antique feel inside and out. The interior and appearance are no longer in line with current trends.
Plateau is quite contented. Although it is a bit old, it is still a four-wheel vehicle that cannot be blown by the wind or wet by rain. Why is it not better than my own Yadi electric vehicle?
Driving on the plateau, we came all the way to the Kunlun Textile Fabric Factory in the suburbs.
Although the name is very impressive and the factory building occupies a large area, the exterior wall is slightly weathered and mottled, and the door is closed, making the factory quiet.
Gao Yuan knocked on the door and learned from the gatekeeper, Uncle Liu, that the factory had been on holiday for more than half a month because there was no business.
It was originally scheduled to resume work a few days ago, but Gao Xiangnan suddenly suffered a cerebral infarction in the hospital, so the matter was dropped.
Many workers asked Uncle Liu to send a message to Gao Yuan’s father, saying that they no longer planned to work and that their wages would be settled after Gao Xiangnan was discharged from the hospital.
“Workers also have families to support, so suspending work all the time is not an option.” Uncle Liu explained to Gao Yuan, and asked about Gao Xiangnan’s condition.
“My dad is fine and will be discharged from the hospital in a few days, but I’m afraid he won’t be able to control things in the factory. The doctor said he needs to rest,” Gao Yuan said.
“Hey, who would have thought that your dad is still so young, so he must be feeling anxious because of the bad business these days.” Uncle Liu said with emotion, “But luckily I still have you. You have graduated from college and you have grown up.”
Gao Yuan smiled, “By the way, Uncle Liu, you have the key to the laboratory.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll get it for you right now.”
Not long after, Gao Yuan took the key and entered the laboratory.
Businessmen with grassroots backgrounds like Gao Yuan’s father often don’t have much planning for their business operations. They just throw hammers here and there. Anyway, as long as they make some money, they invest it in the factory.
This chemical fiber laboratory was started by Gao Yuan’s father at the instigation of others. He invested hundreds of thousands, saying that it should not only produce fabrics, but also engage in research and development. After all, a company’s research and development capabilities are the core of competition.
Now think about it, isn’t this nonsense? Instead of spending money on research and development, small manufacturing companies should control costs.
To take a step back, if the money my father invested in the factory over the years had been used to buy a house, the Gao family would have made a fortune long ago and opened a shitty factory. This thing would be thankless and there would be no comfort in house speculation.
A fantasy?
Don’t say that. If you really understand this society, you will find that reality is far more magical than fantasy.
Single fiber electronic strength tester, fineness tester, dry heat shrinkage tester, crimp elasticity tester, yarn filament strength and elongation tester, xcp-1a, xgd-1 fineness analyzer, vibration fineness tester, fineness tester, electronic Strength machine, fabric drape tester…
Gao Yuan was stunned. He never dreamed that he, a graduate of the computer science department, would know all the complicated and weird equipment in the chemical fiber laboratory.
“Awesome! This is the power of knowledge!” Gao Yuan shouted excitedly.
If you think that the future technology system is just about rudely stuffing blueprints and recipes into the plateau brain, then you are wrong.
In fact, the future technology system has installed a complete set of relevant knowledge for Plateau for the development of high-tech quick-drying fabrics.
What is knowledge these days?
Knowledge is wealth, and it is the most important capital for a person to settle down and live his life!
To put it bluntly, even if the plateau business fails this time, with this magical knowledge in my mind, I will be able to find a well-paying job in the future.
“I made a lot of money, I really made a lot of money this time!”
Thinking of the infinite possible future, Gao Yuan was ecstatic.
However, he quickly calmed down. Although he had a good start, success still depended on hard work and persistence.
“Stop saying anything, roll up your sleeves and do it!” Gao Yuan encouraged himself.
From that day on, apart from visiting his father in the hospital every day, Gao Yuan locked himself in the laboratory and became obsessed with the world of chemical fibers.
