Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 618 Chief Engineer Zhou

Factory Building No. 02, a space comparable to a football field, has been completely emptied.

All the old models that were originally parked here have been cleared out.

At the main entrance, on-site personnel waved batons and directed the plane to be towed out.

At the back door, trucks are already transporting the first batch of equipment and materials.

This kind of large factory has a door as wide as a road, and heavy trucks slowly move forward to the designated location.

There were no ordinary drivers inside, but soldiers in military uniforms, and even some vehicles had accompanying armed escort members.

Although "Cloud Room" has a poetic name, there is thunder brewing inside, which is orderly and vigorous.

There are 125 people in the engineering department and 310 people in the logistics department. Although not all are in place yet, they are already very powerful.

In the center of the factory, Zhou Ruizheng, wearing a safety helmet, personally led people to divide the "moving lines".

Because it is a prototype, like the early Veyron, it can only use the "market battle mode" instead of the "production line mode". More than a hundred people circle around a behemoth.

The rationality of moving lines is the basis for all efficiency and safety.

Zhou Rui uses the simplest tape to attach the lines, which is easy to change at any time.

"This is the feeding position. All ground vehicles can reach here at most and be connected by personnel or gantry cranes."

"The power lines go this way. Use restraint straps to fix them. Don't drive nails."

"Scaffolding should be insulated with rubber, not to prevent electric shock, but to prevent collision with the material."

There are more than 20 people behind the scenes, all members of the logistics team of the "Cloud Room" project. Some simple requests are done on the spot, while complex ones are recorded in a notebook.

Zhou Rui is the top person in charge of the project.

Planning, approval, supervision, guidance, control, integration, improvement, evaluation, disposal...all of the "Kunpeng Project" needs him to take the lead.

His status has changed from "expert" to "chief engineer", and the content of his work is not just technical issues.

This is a new challenge for him.

"Two days. I hope to start actual work in two days. The logistics department will work in three shifts. Transportation and logistics will not stop. Can it be done?"

Ding Hai, the head of the logistics department behind the scenes, a stocky man in his forties, nodded and said: "We will try our best to complete it."

Zhou Rui shook his head: "I don't want to try my best. If it can't be completed, tell me what the difficulty is and I will coordinate. If it can be completed, tell me decisively."

Ding Hai immediately straightened his body: "I guarantee it will be completed!"

"Good, go to work."

Zhou Rui looked back and saw that the "Cloud Room" already had some appearance, but it was still far from enough.

Then we took the factory car and went to the administration building.

In the past few days, only half of the hundreds of experts who participated in the technical demonstration have left.

The remaining people, and some members of the "Drawing Room Project", gathered in the huge conference room, which was set up as the research department at the rear.

The Engineering Department works hard, the Logistics Department provides escort, and the Research Department provides technical support. This is the basic structure of the "Cloud Room" plan.

The other more detailed "communications team", "on-site security team", "confidentiality team", "emergency team", etc. are not large in number, so I will not go into details one by one.

As soon as Zhou Rui entered the door, there was a group of old experts waiting for food.

"Chief Engineer, would you like to see if this engine hoisting process is suitable? I have already discussed it with the Wing Body, and it should be feasible."

"Chief Engineer, the total number of ribs, stringers, beams and other internal frames and the engineering allowance have been verified. Please take a look."

"Chief Commander, my hemorrhoids have healed and I have just returned to work! Please give me instructions!"

I thought it would be cleaner here, but it seems I thought too much.

Zhou Rui sat at the long table, reviewing each item and giving instructions at the same time.

Hundreds of people cooperate. Even if a few people work together, there are hundreds of "threads" in the entire project.

These threads are all connected behind Zhou Rui.

The so-called "moving one hair affects the whole body" is nothing better than this.

He worked until seven o'clock in the evening, then took a moment to relax, leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes and rested. "Chief Engineer, the gantry crane at the 'Cloud Room' has arrived and is being installed. Do you want to take a look?"

Zhou Rui opened his eyes and went to Factory 02 to monitor the progress of the "Cloud Room".

At one o'clock in the night, when Zhou Rui came out of the "Cloud Room" again, it was already a time when the insects outside were sparse.

"Golden Breath" continues to operate, Zhou Rui spits out a light mist

Outside the gate, Yang Rubin seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Zhou, let's go have some supper together?"

Zhou Rui looked at the time: "Going to the city at this time?"

"If you don't leave the factory, I will take you to a good place."

The two of them sat in a small convertible in the factory area and headed towards the corner of the 919 Factory.

The night breeze in this season was still a little chilly, so Yang Rubin drove slowly.

The place the two went to was the legendary "Sentinel Canteen".

In fact, this is not an independent canteen that only opens at night, but an annex building to the canteen of the garrison headquarters.

It is the officers' mess during the day, and a few cooks will be reserved at night to provide extra meals to all night shift sentry members.

This place can also be called "Late Night Canteen".

Yang Rubin originally asked the cook to fry two dishes, but Zhou Rui took a look at several bowls and found that they were quite tempting, so he went straight to cooking.

The dishes are not rich, but Zhou Rui still filled his plate. He is not a perpetual motion machine. The more he consumes, the greater his appetite.

Yang Rubin took a sip of the hot soup and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is just the beginning. Don't let your body collapse."

"It's not that I'm depressed, it's just that there are too many chores."

I, Mr. Zhou, dare not say anything else, but my physique has been verified by many young ladies who do not want to be named.

Two people are also multiple people

Yang Rubin said: "Don't the engineering department and the logistics department have corresponding deputies? Are they not easy to use?"

Zhou Rui bit down a third of the big steamed bun and said, "Maybe it's not enough adjustment. In terms of working methods, the connection is not smooth yet."

"By the way, there is one thing. Norinco received a US$2.7 million order from the United Arab Emirates, and the Chengdu Construction System sold a group. They were able to absorb half of it themselves, and the other half was distributed to other military industries. enterprise."

Zhou Rui smiled: "Has Khalid swiped his card? The profit margin for a tour of US$2.7 million is not small!"

Converted into RMB, it almost catches up with the cost of "Kunpeng".

This is the difference between big countries and small countries.

The same thing is money. Due to its technological and talent foundation, the Republic can create "Kunpeng" to circulate funds internally, but Middle Eastern countries can only spend money abroad for "group purchases."

Of course, it has something to do with cheating players.

Yang Rubin laughed: "For foreign trade, naturally the price cannot be the same as the internal price. This is the largest single order in the past two years, and it has also created a new military trade model. They plan to continue to promote it at the next Zhuhai Air Show."

"The person in charge of NORINCO has been saying that he wants to thank Mr. Zhou. I said that you have been busy recently and asked him to talk about it later."

Zhou Rui: "There's no need to thank you. I can't imagine what Norinco can give me."

Yang Rubin said indifferently: "Let them figure it out on their own, haha."

While chatting, Yang Rubin answered a call. Zhou Rui was a little surprised. It was two o'clock in the morning. Could it be an emergency?

After putting down the phone, Yang Rubin looked strange.

"The news from across the Pacific may be stimulated by the restart of the F22 production line. Watching Lockheed Martin enjoy it.

"Northrop Grumman, the manufacturer of the B2, also submitted a project document to develop a new strategic bomber half a month ago as an iterative version of the B2 bomber."

Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, what a coincidence?

Yang Rubin frowned slightly.

"There is no code name. It should be in the PPT stage now, but if they can develop B2, it should be only a matter of time before they have new results."

However, Zhou Rui smiled: "Yes. Everything is a matter of time."

There's too much time difference

It seems that the two projects started at the same time, but in fact they are much different.

He can guarantee that when Kunpeng ascends to heaven, there will still be only one PPT on the other side.

Zhou Rui dipped the steamed bun into the soup on the bottom of the plate, as if he was rubbing against something.
