Chapter 196 They've actually figured out how to make an immersion heater!
Seeing that Zhuang Tunan ignored her, Shanshan felt that there was nothing to talk about between them. After sitting for a while, she stood up with her net bag, looking somewhat disappointed but trying to remain calm. "Brother Tunan, Xiaoting, Dongzhe, you guys see, I have to go back to do my homework, so I'm going back."
Xiaoting quickly grabbed her hand. "Sister Shanshan, it's been so long since we last met, let's sit for a while."
"No, no, you guys see."
Zhuang Tunan watched Shanshan's departing figure and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that for two people who couldn't be together, the best thing to do from the start was not to give each other any illusions. This was the best way for both him and Shanshan to handle the situation.
、、、、、、、、
Only Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng remained at the table.
After seeing Shanshan leave, Lin Wufeng sat down next to Zhuang Chaoying, his expression becoming serious.
"Professor Zhuang, the sample of the electric kettle you mentioned more than a month ago has been produced. If you're free tomorrow, come with me to work to take a look. We encountered some difficulties during the research and development process. The insulation material is hard to find, and the problem of leakage when it's submerged in water is difficult to solve."
Zhuang Chaoying picked up the beer bottle, poured Lin another glass, and patted him on the shoulder. "This is the last one. I'm free tomorrow. I have some ideas about this insulation material. Let's see the samples tomorrow and maybe we can find a solution."
Lin raised his glass, a hopeful smile on his face. "Okay, let's go together tomorrow. After seeing the sample, Factory Director An is very supportive of producing this electric kettle. He thinks that if it can be successfully launched into the market, it will definitely have good sales."
Lin Wufeng looked at Zhuang Chaoying and thought to himself, "Teacher Zhuang is clearly just a teacher, yet she has unique insights into the current social situation and analyzes it so thoroughly."
And he always comes up with some novel little ideas and inventions, he's really a wonderful person!
The longer I know Teacher Zhuang, the more I feel that she holds countless surprises and there are always aspects of her that I don't know about.
Zhuang Chaoying noticed that Engineer Lin was staring at him, and touched his face. "Engineer Lin, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"Professor Zhuang, if you weren't a teacher, you would definitely be an outstanding engineer."
Zhuang Chaoying smiled and waved her hand. "I just like it, and I like to study these little things when I have nothing to do. It's purely a personal hobby, not as exaggerated as you make it out to be."
The two chatted for a while longer before getting up to clear the table, chairs, and dishes, and then went home separately.
By this time, it was completely dark.
After returning home, Zhuang Chaoying sat at the table, turned on the desk lamp, and felt a surge of inspiration welling up in her mind.
He has been working on his book, "Country Love Story," for some time now, and tonight, he suddenly had a burst of inspiration and wrote more than 10,000 words in one go.
Huang Ling was busy in the kitchen. She heated up the milk in the refrigerator and brought a cup to Xiao Ting and Tu Nan each. Then she heated up the rest of the milk and brought it to Zhuang Chaoying.
Huang Ling placed the hot milk on the table.
"Chaoying, you just drank three bottles of beer. Drink some warm milk, it will make your stomach feel better."
Zhuang Chaoying stretched, capped her pen, and looked up at Huang Ling. "Ling, there's something I need to tell you."
Huang Ling sat in the chair next to him, tilting her head slightly, and asked curiously, "What is it? What are you hiding from me again?"
Zhuang Chaoying picked up a pen and quickly drew a simple structural diagram of an electric kettle on a piece of paper, then handed it to Huang Ling and explained it carefully.
"This is it. Put it in a thermos, plug it in, and you can have hot water in less than five minutes. This was an idea of mine before, and Engineer Lin took it back to the factory to develop it. He actually made a sample. He asked me to go with him to take a look tomorrow."
Huang Ling stared wide-eyed at the blueprints.
"Chaoying, when did you get into inventing things? Now that you mention it, I think if they could produce it, I would definitely buy it. You see, we usually have to light a stove and burn firewood to boil water, which is so troublesome. If there really was such a convenient water-boiling appliance, it would be so practical, and I would definitely be the first to buy it."
Zhuang Chaoying picked up the milk, tested the temperature with her mouth, and found it wasn't too hot.
He took a big gulp himself first, then handed the rest of the milk to Huang Ling.
"Ah Ling, half for each of us!" Huang Ling didn't stand on ceremony, took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking the milk, Huang Ling had some milk stains left at the corners of her mouth.
Zhuang Chaoying looked at it, and without thinking, leaned forward and kissed it directly, cleaning up the milk stains.
Huang Ling was startled by this sudden action, her eyes widened, and she quickly pushed him away forcefully.
She glanced instinctively into Xiaoting's room, thankfully her daughter had drawn the curtains, so the people inside couldn't see what was happening outside.
She breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her voice, "Zhuang Chaoying, you old lecher."
Zhuang Chaoying covered her mouth and laughed, muttering softly, "You have milk on your lips, let me wipe it for you."
Huang Ling pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth, and glared at him pretending to be angry: "No need for help, I can manage on my own."
Although she said that, she was actually very happy inside, as Chao Ying was still as close to her as ever.
This little incident was quickly forgotten.
Zhuang Chaoying's smile faded, and she returned to business: "Just kidding. I've named this 'Quick Heating.' If it can be mass-produced and put on the market, I'd like to invest some money in Lin Gong's factory and take a stake. I think it's a very promising project, and it might bring in good returns."
After hearing this, Huang Ling looked down at the blueprints again.
She silently calculated in her mind that with the copyright fee of 100,000 yuan, plus the salary she had saved over the past two years, the family had a total of 110,000 yuan, plus a little over 300 yuan in cash.
This money was their hard-earned savings.
Thinking about this, she hesitated. "Chaoying, if we're going to invest, it's not a small amount of money. We need to think it over carefully. Can this electric kettle really be mass-produced? What if something goes wrong? Our money will be wasted."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded. "This isn't difficult at all, we can do it! Lin's factory has pretty good technical capabilities, and they've already made a sample. As long as we solve the insulation material problem, mass production shouldn't be a problem."
Huang Ling put the drawings in her hand on the table. "Then let's talk about it after you go tomorrow."
