A week later, Lu Xun was discharged from the hospital and returned to work at the plant.

"The application you submitted earlier has been approved. Starting this week, a special production group will be established in the workshop to manufacture this new type of engine."
"For now, let's produce one using the current cast iron and report it to the Kyoto Mechanical Research Institute."
He looked at Luo Ning and continued, "Your research on the new material can proceed simultaneously. I've discussed it with the deputy director of the steel plant, and they can provide a place for experiments and assistance."
The machinery plant primarily manufactures machinery, so the steel plant will be needed to develop and produce new materials.
