Chapter 306 She succeeded
Soon, the brigade leader led Xu Sui and the others to a small rice paddy.
The rice in this paddy field isn't growing very well; it's rather sparse.
Ma Honghua paused for a moment, somewhat worried. She leaned close to Xu Sui's ear and whispered, "Technician Xu, will this work? The rice plants grow a little here and a little there, it'll be difficult to manage, won't it?"
Normal rice doesn't look like this. Even if it's an experiment, shouldn't it be conducted using normal rice?
Technician Liu also had some concerns.
The team leader and accountant Liu, who were standing nearby, also knew that the rice plants were growing sparsely and abnormally. They looked away with some unease and coughed lightly a few times.
"You may conduct experiments, but only on this field."
"If your experiment succeeds, you can experiment with the other fields however you like."
"Of course, if you can't accept it, then you should go back sooner rather than later."
Xu Sui glanced at the rice paddies but didn't say anything.
Instead, he made all the necessary preparations, got into the harvester he had built himself, and stepped into the rice paddy.
She is most familiar with the things she creates, so it is best for her to test them.
A number of villagers from the surrounding area gradually came to watch the spectacle, all staring curiously at the tractor-like metal vehicle that Xu Sui was driving.
This metal lump is about the size of a tractor, ugly, and its entire frame is pitted and uneven, with some parts even rusted.
They had all heard it from the side; they were saying that this thing could harvest rice.
But can something this ugly really work?
Rumble rumble rumble—
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Look, look! That iron lump has actually harvested the rice in the paddy field!"
"It's true. Look, the straw and rice grains have already been separated. We don't need to work hard to thresh the rice."
The captain and the brigade accountant stared intently at the large iron lump, their palms sweating and their eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.
It really is true! This thing can really harvest rice quickly, saving them the trouble of manually threshing the rice.
All they had to do was collect the rice in burlap sacks and carry it to the brigade headquarters to dry it.
This thing saved them a lot of work. Although the field wasn't very big, it was harvested in just a few minutes.
If it were farmers like them working in the fields, it would take them at least half an hour to harvest all the rice in that field.
Technician Liu and Ma Honghua were also very excited to see this scene, as it meant that their experiment had been a complete success. They were so excited that they almost burst into tears.
"Look, look! We did it! We did it!"
Although they didn't make this thing, it was indeed made by a technician in their factory; it's something from their factory.
Having this harvester means that their factory has mastered the technology, allowing them to request resources from the county and exchange goods with other machinery factories.
All of this was brought about by Xu Sui.
Indeed, university graduates from Kyoto University are different.
Xu Sui harvested all the rice in that paddy field in no time.
Only after she finished doing all this did she stop, get off the harvester, and go to the grain bins at the back where the rice was stored.
Xu Sui opened the grain bin, and instantly a pile of golden rice appeared before everyone.
Then he picked up some straw from the ground, which was almost the same as rice husks threshed by hand, with not much residue on it.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she believed in herself, she still had some worries in her heart until she saw the result with her own eyes.
The team leader and the surrounding villagers checked and found no problems. They were overjoyed and gave Xu Sui a thumbs up.
"Technician Xu, you're absolutely amazing!"
"Technician Xu, what is this iron lump that looks a lot like a tractor? Could we borrow it to harvest the rice in the other paddy fields?"
They would have had to harvest it themselves, which would have taken at least several hours, but this iron lump was cleaned up in just a few minutes and kept so clean.
Undoubtedly, this result was a success.
Ma Honghua excitedly ran up and hugged Xu Sui tightly. "Technician Xu, you're amazing! How can you be so talented? You're a great contributor to our factory!"
"If the factory manager knew, he'd be overjoyed."
Among all the large and small machinery factories across the country, there has never been anyone who can independently manufacture harvesters. Even if there were, they would have borrowed design blueprints and technology from abroad.
Unlike their factory technician Xu, who drew his own blueprints, researched and developed his own technology, and painstakingly built the harvester by hand using discarded materials.
Don't forget, Technician Xu has only been out of school for a short time and is still very young.
The experiment was a complete success, and Xu Sui was very happy. She reached out and hugged Ma Honghua, smiling with her eyes crinkling.
At this moment, the brigade leader and the brigade accountant came up, looking somewhat embarrassed, and spoke in a much more respectful tone than before.
"Um... Technician Xu, we were wrong just now, we want to apologize to you."
"Could you please use this metal lump... no, I should say a combine harvester, to help us harvest the rice in those fields?"
The weather is so hot. I'm afraid even these old farmers who are used to doing farm work are feeling dizzy and lightheaded after standing in the sun for just a short while. They can't stand it anymore, and now their skin is peeling from the sun.
Several people have already suffered from heatstroke, especially the elderly, who are even more vulnerable. If this continues, something serious might happen.
But with this harvester, things are different. Sitting on this harvester, you can quickly harvest all the rice in the entire paddy field.
Xu Sui thought about it and didn't refuse. She also wanted to test whether the harvester would have any problems after being used for a long time.
It can also help the villagers.
So she nodded, "No problem, Captain. You can leave a few people here to help me. Everyone else can go back and rest. We don't need many people here."
……
By the end of the day, most of the rice in the paddy fields of the entire Nanshan Brigade had been successfully harvested by Xu Sui using a combine harvester.
This experiment was perfect.
A harvester filled with oil can work almost all day long.
Everyone was very excited.
The news quickly spread to the brigade commune and then to several surrounding brigades.
Upon learning of this, those people couldn't sit still and rushed to the Nanshan Brigade to verify its authenticity.
Let them see that most of the rice in Nanshan Brigade was harvested cleanly in just one day.
The captains of several nearby brigades approached the leaders in the commune, asking them to act as matchmakers and arrange for them to personally meet the legendary Technician Xu and the harvester at the machinery factory.
……
Xu Sui was completely unaware of these things; she had already left work.
Riding her old-fashioned bicycle, enjoying the cool evening breeze and the warm yellow glow of the setting sun.
Xu Sui hummed an unknown tune, and on her way home to the family compound, she happily walked along the old-fashioned bicycle with a note hanging on it that Director Hao had specially reserved a portion of braised pork for her in the canteen.
For some reason, she really wanted to go back as soon as possible to share this good news with Qin Yunzhou.
