Chapter 189 Reborn
Wang Haoran and Mu Ziying, who have officially worked in Hongsawadi for more than two months.
It has been transferred to the aviation production base in Kachin State.
They and a large number of previous employees are busy maintaining various production lines at the base or upgrading old production lines.
Looking at the MiG-25 production line from the 1970s, Wang Haoran and several electrical engineers tested a dozen updated servo motors.
He let out a long breath: "Huh... it's OK. Other problems may have to wait until the trial production to be discovered."
Another aircraft manufacturing engineer who was recruited from the Principality of Kiev, Karl Lovsky, was one of the technical consultants responsible for the MiG-25 production line.
"Wang, you did a good job."
Wang Haoran was not too surprised by Carl's Mandarin level, because the senior engineers and management of the entire factory seemed to be proficient in their native language, Chinese, English and other languages.
In fact, this is the symbol and benefit of the new humans, but Wang Haoran has not yet joined it, so he naturally doesn’t know the ins and outs of it.
He smiled and whispered, "Mr. Carl, is it really necessary to produce this old aircraft? I remember that Lucia should have stored a lot of retired MiG-25s. In fact, it would be more cost-effective to buy them!"
"Kid! Sometimes money can't solve all problems." Carl smiled and shook his head.
Carl, who is already in his fifties, has long seen through the nature of this world.
There are some things that can't be shortcut.
Otherwise, the cost of tutoring in the future may be higher than it is now.
Wang Haoran was still influenced by the free market and thought he could buy everything with money.
Karl patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will be on a business trip for a while tomorrow. You should lead people to conduct a small-scale trial production of some equipment according to the previous plan."
"no problem."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Carl left the factory and went secretly to Mandalay with several other senior engineers and designers in aircraft manufacturing.
For such senior engineers, Zhiren Company has a complete set of protection and transfer plans. It does not make a big fuss about it, and does not let the engineers buy tickets and take flights by themselves.
The main reason is that flying is too dangerous.
Especially for Boeing aircraft, it is too easy for America to tamper with them.
Therefore, important members of the Homo Sapiens Company would not use their official identities to travel by plane unless they had to.
After secret transfers and changes of appearance, Carl and others appeared in batches at Thonburi International Airport in Siam.
Then take several Airbus passenger planes to Manila, Luzon.
After some twists and turns.
Carl and others finally arrived at the headquarters of Flying Fish Company.
Paul, the company's general manager and base manager, and chief technical executive Guan Bo and others personally took them on a tour of the base.
Walking into the base, especially in the assembly workshop, Carl showed a look of surprise.
Three large propeller planes covered in feathers are being assembled in full swing.
The first prototype produced by Flying Fish Company was already on the other side of the island, where there is a large airport for testing.
Some time ago, I took advantage of cloudy days to test fly the aircraft several times in the surrounding area.
"So beautiful, just like the An-22." Carl seemed to be recalling that distant scene.
"In terms of load capacity and speed, it is not as good as the An-22." Fang Bai smiled and shook his head.
Carl showed a complicated smile: "At least they are lucky and don't have to become homeless vagrants."
Of course Fang Bo could hear the loneliness in the other party's words. After all, Karl used to be an engineer at Antonov Company, and he was just reminded of some past events at this moment.
Paul changed the subject: "Everyone, let's go to the engine shop!"
Carl put away his complicated feelings and quickly adjusted his mindset: "I heard that you have recently improved the materials of some parts ?"
"Yes." Fang Bai nodded.
After a while, they arrived at the engine workshop inside the mountain via a small electric car inside the factory.
The entire workshop is very spacious, and it is obvious that new technology has been used to hollow out a large part of the mountain.
Paul led the way and introduced: "This is the assembly area, that is the parts storage warehouse, and through this track, you can reach the engine test area on the other side..."
Entering the engine assembly area, Fang Bo pointed at an engine being assembled:
"Although it is an old turbojet engine, some of its core components have been replaced, and it has been equipped with a special biochip and control system. The power of this old heart has increased by at least 37%, while fuel consumption has only increased by 4.3%."
Carl's expression was very serious: "37%? Ultra-high pressure explosion? Can the cylinder and blades hold up?"
Fang Bo excitedly explained: "The interior of our cylinder body is made of high manganese-molybdenum steel. Even in the case of ultra-high pressure explosion, its service life is still extended by about 235%. The same is true for turbine blades."
"Is the material progress so great? It's incredible." Karl knew too well the limits of turbojet engines.
"Even if we use an outdated design, we can still make up for it in terms of materials, thanks to our chairman."
Even if Fang Bai didn't use the hormones and pheromones induced by the biochip in his brain, his admiration for Li Qingye had reached an almost blind level.
"It turns out that this is that person's masterpiece." Although Carl is past the age of fanaticism, he does admire Li Qingye very much.
Even some of Li Qingye's actions, in the eyes of many people outside, are a collection of extremely evil.
But Carl, who had personally experienced the great lows, the great collapse and the long-term chaos, knew very well that the world was sick and very sick.
If he could choose again, Carl would still choose to follow Li Qingye without hesitation. He saw hope and the shadow of a kind father in him.
This is also the reason why he was willing to be implanted with a biochip.
In fact, in Carl's view, the moment the biochip was implanted, his life seemed to be reborn from the ashes, and the power of faith filled his body again.
He felt as if he had gone back 30 years and become the 26-year-old himself.
Even though this belief was given by technology, Carl was happy with it, and even felt that this belief was purer resolute.
At this moment he can talk about everything without restraint, he has a group of companions he can trust unconditionally, he doesn't have to worry about his future life, and he is doing his favorite job.
Carl is willing to do everything, even at the cost of his life, to protect this utopia.
After discussing various technologies with Fang Bo and others, Carl and others also reached an agreement on regular technical exchanges with Feiyu Company on behalf of Aoba Airlines.
As two subsidiaries within the Sapiens company, they seem to be in a competitive relationship, but in fact it does not affect their cooperation.
Especially in terms of positioning, Feiyu Company currently focuses on drones and large transport aircraft, while Aoba Aviation focuses on fighter jets and launch vehicles.
In fact, it is the division of labor and cooperation that avoids duplication of research and development and waste of precious scientific research resources.
Through this communication, Carl and others already had an idea in their minds, and they also understood why Li Qingye specifically requested to purchase the MiG-25 production line.
