I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

Not to mention Xinyuan Town, even the higher-level Xinyuan City soon heard about the Ami engineering team.

When they thought that the town tractor factory was actually connected with Ami's machinery company, the city leaders all felt a little dazed.

They knew about the Xinyuan Town Tractor Factory. It was an economic leader when it first opened, but now it has become a liability.

But now we not only have Aramco engineers to guide us, but also Aramco workers to renovate the factory, which is simply astonishing.

What surprised them even more was that the construction speed of these Ami workers was not slow at all. Various construction machinery worked at the same time, working in two shifts day and night. The entire factory was changing visibly to the naked eye.

Leaders came to inspect every day for the past three days, then took a photo with Kate, the white contractor, and finally made a few clichés to support township enterprises in moving into high technology.

The city's media, on the other hand, focused on the patriotic overseas Chinese Guo Shen, especially when they accidentally learned that he previously worked for the Aramco Space Agency. They even wrote overnight: "From the space agency to the tractor factory, the patriotic overseas Chinese are building their hometown."

This is really not nonsense. According to the system information, Guo Shen's grandfather is from Xinyuan. He went to Amei when he was young. Xinyuan Town is Guo Shen's hometown where he has never met.

After day and night construction by the system engineering team, by the evening of the third day, the upgrade and renovation tasks of the entire factory area had been completed, and the dismantling of the scaffolding had begun.

Lin Ju simply held a hasty completion ceremony with the leaders who were still present and cut the red ribbon.

Then the entire crew of "Connecticut Oak Engineering Company" packed up their belongings, dozens of cars disappeared into the night, and headed back to Amei overnight.

Vice President Wan, who accompanied the town leaders on the visit, was dumbfounded and said to Lin Ju with some emotion:

“People say that Americans are lazy and that developed countries are inefficient. This is a completely one-sided impression!

They didn't stop work for even a minute in 72 hours. The construction was fast and not messy. After the inspection and acceptance, they left immediately without any sloppiness.

We still have to face up to the gap and not be blindly arrogant! "

The thin-haired town leader nodded while listening, and gave instructions to the office director beside him:

"Comrade Lao Wan said it well. I have been learning from Ami when I was young, and it seems that I still need to learn now.

All the photos and notes taken in the past three days have been sorted out and handed over to the city. Study documents will also be sent to our construction company to learn from the professionalism of Ami workers! "

Lin Ju watched the group sum up their experiences in a serious manner, tried hard to hold back the smile on his face, and coughed twice:

"Leader, it's getting so late and the upgrade is over. Why don't we end our visit here today?"

Unexpectedly, the town leader waved his hand:

"No, I want to see your new factory. Xiaolin said that the high-end equipment he finally introduced from Aramco can produce a production line of 5 million rainfall machines. You must take a good look!"

Lin Ju was helpless. He originally wanted to slowly compare the differences between the upgraded bases, but now he could only study them together.

Guo Shen also accompanied the visit. He participated in the entire transformation here and knew the factory building well.

When he led everyone into the factory, everyone including Lin Ju was stunned.

The factory building, which was originally composed of steel frames and iron sheets, was dark in color. Now it is covered with unknown thermal insulation and flame-retardant materials. It is white and clean. Even the lighting system has been changed, making the entire factory brightly illuminated.

The floor is laid with insulating glue, and lines of different colors are used to divide the work area. Various equipment are visited according to the process area, and everything is in order.

This is completely different from the previous appearance where the cement floor was covered with dust and oil, and dirty machines and parts were mixed together.

As for the original equipment, almost all of it is gone and replaced with new equipment.

CNC machining centers that are highly integrated like small rooms have replaced the old-fashioned machine tools with exposed processing. In the eyes of the leaders, neatness and LCD screens are high-tech!

When they reached the final assembly workshop, they saw seven or eight orange-yellow robotic arms. The group was even more excited to touch around here and there.

The town leader stroked the robotic arm and recalled his youth:

"I know this. The kid had this one thirty years ago. It's much more convenient to use than a human being. It has more than a ton of parts and can be swung around in your hand, right?"

After the entire visit, Lin Ju and the leaders felt that the factory had indeed changed a lot. It was not much different from the rocket workshop seen on TV and was even slightly more advanced.

When he left, the town leaders were satisfied and very kind to Lin Ju.

"Xiao Lin, the tractor factory has turned from a turkey into a phoenix! I have traveled all over the country and visited so many factories, some are much bigger than this one, but there are definitely few that are more advanced and neat than this one.

Don’t worry, I will report immediately and include Xinyuan Town Tractor Factory on the list of high-tech enterprises!

By the way, can’t we call it a tractor factory now? Get ready, come up with a new name, and Lao Wan, the loan matter is slowing down, it is the time to spend money to start high-tech enterprises, the town cannot hold back! "

"Don't worry, boss. Now that the tractor factory has been renovated, it can be repaid by selling a few machines. Don't worry."

Although the credit union in the town had little money, the loan was still put on hold by the leader, which made Lin Ju very grateful.

I have to say that half of the credit goes to the "Aramco Engineering Team", otherwise it would never have gone so smoothly.

After sending all the outsiders away, Lin Ju walked around the factory again. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. He pulled Guo Shen over and asked:

"Now that the base has been upgraded, can rocket production be carried out?"

Guo Shen has already obtained the information on the DX-1 rocket and already has the answer in his mind:

“One 120-ton engine in the first stage, two 30-ton engines in the second stage, and one 30-ton engine in the third stage, all using liquid oxygen kerosene fuel and a full-flow staged combustion cycle, which is the most time-consuming.

Because the test requires a total of 5 engines to be built, plus some parts, it will be processed in two shifts intermittently, and it is expected to be completed in about 28 days. The rest can be outsourced to ordinary factories, greatly reducing our time.

Although most of the materials are in stock, including fuel and other processing costs, another 4 million yuan is needed.

But boss, what is our payload? The rocket's ultimate carrying capacity in low-Earth orbit is 430 kilograms, which is considered a medium-sized satellite. "

Lin Ju wasn't worried about money. The worst he could do was mortgage the land. He had sold it for more than 4 million at a low price in his previous life, so getting a loan wouldn't be a big problem.

As for what to use for the load?

Lin Ju then remembered that the system requirements were to put scientific payloads into orbit, but the question was what kind of objects were considered scientific payloads?

Satellites definitely count, but the tractor factory probably doesn't have the technical strength. He asked Guo Shen again, and the answer he got was indeed the same.

It must be resistant to radiation and vibration, operate normally at an altitude of hundreds of kilometers, and be equipped with scientific detection equipment. It is obviously no small project.

Lin Ju suddenly thought of something and asked Guo Shen:

"I heard that the backup satellite of the Dongfanghong-1 satellite is still on the ground. Can we buy it? It seems to be only 300 kilograms."

What answered him was Guo Shen's look at a fool.

"Boss, those are all museum collections. Besides, they don't have any scientific detection function."

"Then you can contact the Aramco Space Agency again. Do they have any defective satellites that they don't want?"

"..."

Lin Ju, who was thinking hard, simply squatted on the ground and thought for a long time, but couldn't help but complained:

"Ma Yilong makes money by launching rockets. Why do you have to... huh? I have a solution!"

Lin Ju suddenly had an idea and jumped up from the ground.

He doesn’t have satellites, but others do!

You have to charge money to use his rockets to help people launch satellites, so why do you need to spend your own money?

Lin Ju suddenly had various ideas popping up in his mind, and he soon came up with an idea.

If you directly advertise that you will ship satellites on behalf of others, no one will pay attention to you. You can start with people you know.

He suddenly remembered that his ordinary undergraduate degree in China once cooperated with a 985 university on a satellite project. Unfortunately, the rocket quota was eventually replaced by another higher-end school, and nothing happened since then.

But after all, satellites were built, so maybe the original one is still there, and it can still be used after tidying it up!
