Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Seeing everyone's gazes, Qin Yang felt helpless. Yes, of course, I know it can end on September 29th, but I can't always act like a prophet, right? Besides, no fool is letting me step on them to show off.

"I don't know."

"Then when shall we depart?"

"After the National Day holiday," Qin Yang said. "I've been busy recently and haven't had time to rest. Let's take a vacation during the National Day holiday and then set off."

"It seems this war will end before National Day," Old Lin said. "Alright, then let's prepare and depart after the National Day holiday."

"Whatever. But let's make it clear first, the funds for importing technology and production lines will be paid by our Factory 960. The money for importing the 'Sidewinder-3' missiles must come from the Air Force itself. Take advantage of this time to submit a report to the higher-ups and go through the process to get the money approved, so you don't get caught empty-handed when the time comes."

"No problem, leave it to me," Old Lin said. "Next, let's talk about the early warning aircraft."

The meeting ended in the evening. Old Lin wanted to keep Qin Yang for dinner and drinks, but Qin Yang refused. After all, he had lured Wang Shan over and hadn't arranged anything yet. It's only safe once he's inside Factory 960.

The Hummer RV drove out of the Princess Tomb compound. In the car, Qin Yang looked at the pile of books Wang Shan had brought and felt he had been a little too worried. Once this kind of person has a project, they will immerse themselves in it and won't have other thoughts until the project is completed.

"Engineer Wang, after we get back, I'll transfer the technical personnel who work on armor-piercing projectiles to you. Whenever you need the furnace for smelting metal, we'll provide it to you."

"Technical personnel for armor-piercing projectiles?" Wang Shan suddenly thought of something. "President Qin, didn't you promise the army to complete the industrial production of armor-piercing projectiles, reducing the cost to one-tenth? What about that project?"

"Forget about it."

"Is 'forget about it' also a method of metal smelting?"

"Of course not. I mean the army's project isn't urgent. After all, the existing armor-piercing projectiles are enough. Let's solve the Air Force's most pressing problem first. The landing gear of our Air Force's fighter jets only has a lifespan of three hundred hours. When we develop it, we can increase the lifespan to three thousand hours. How much money will that save? And how much will it improve combat effectiveness?"

"Mm," Wang Shan nodded, immersing himself in the pile of documents again.

"Regarding the smelting of this kind of steel, I have some ideas." Qin Yang took the opportunity to explain everything he knew about 300M steel. Wang Shan's eyes lit up as he quickly took out his notebook and began to record everything carefully.

"President Qin, you are a genius! The ideas you've provided are all excellent. I'm even more confident in smelting this steel now!" Wang Shan was very excited.

"Then keep up the good work. Our Factory 960 is a place that is good at creating miracles. When you join our Factory 960, you will definitely create miracles as soon as possible."

Wang Shan nodded.

Zhang Chao had received the news in advance. When Wang Shan returned, a clean and tidy dormitory had already been arranged for him.

"Engineer Wang, please stay here first. Tomorrow, I'll take you to see the workshop," Zhang Chao said enthusiastically.

Qin Yang also stood at the door: "Chaozi, take Engineer Wang out for dinner next. In the future, if Engineer Wang forgets the time when he's doing research, have someone bring him food. Or should we arrange a female comrade to take care of Engineer Wang's life?"

"No need, I don't need anyone to serve me," Wang Shan quickly shook his head.

Just then, the door of the next dormitory opened, and a head peeked out. Seeing Qin Yang, he immediately ran out: "President Qin? You're finally back. When will the welding rod you mentioned be developed? I'm still anxious. I should go back after it's developed."

Lu Feng!

Qin Yang then remembered that he had tricked Lu Feng into Factory 960, but then many things happened, and there was simply no time to study the welding rod with Lu Feng. How had Zhang Chao and the others coaxed Lu Feng these days to keep him from leaving? It was difficult for them.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang looked at Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao's face was flushed. He had forgotten about this! Lu Feng had been shouting every day to see President Qin. Now that he had finally seen him, what should he do next? Wouldn't it ruin Yangzi's plan?

"President Qin, you are really a busy person. It's too difficult to see you. During this time, I can only weld your improved tank parts with the other welders in the workshop. However, I came here to study welding rods!"

"Let's put the welding rod thing aside for now," Qin Yang said. "Next, we have a more important task."

"What task?"

"Yeah, I'm passing by after getting off work," Zhao Hong said, generously walking towards Lu Feng: "Brother Feng, let's go in and eat."

Her eyes were only on Lu Feng, to the point that she ignored Qin Yang.

Watching the two of them go in and the door close, Qin Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Chaozi, did you arrange this?"

"Shh!" Zhang Chao quickly lowered his voice: "President Qin, this kind of thing can only be understood, not expressed."

Wang Shan's eyes widened: "President Qin, I have a wife and children, don't arrange..."

The next day.

Lu Feng followed Qin Yang into a Factory 212 with a suspicious look on his face, and then they sped to the outside of a research institute.

The gray gate, with the sign of the Capital Aerospace Engineering and Manufacturing Research Institute hanging on the side, was filled with lush trees, obscuring the view and preventing people from seeing the buildings inside.

The guard came out and asked with a serious face: "Which unit are you from? What are you doing here?"

"The Capital Agricultural Tool Factory, I am Qin Yang. I'm here to find..."

Before he could finish speaking, the guard immediately changed his expression to a smile: "President Qin, please come in, please come in."

Qin Yang was speechless. Did his reputation spread so quickly? He hadn't even said who he was looking for, and this person let him in?

After Qin Yang went in, the guard ran back to the guardhouse and quickly called: "Attention, everyone, pay attention, President Qin is here, be careful, don't run into the muzzle of a gun!"

The car stopped in front of a small building. Lu Feng got out of the car and looked at the words above, and his heart was filled with excitement: Aerospace Special Welding Technology Research Office!

Sure enough, President Qin didn't lie to him. Bringing him here was to do welding, and it was even higher-end welding!

"Let's go, let's go in and invite an old expert. This old expert is amazing, he has drunk foreign ink," Qin Yang said, stepping onto the steps.

At this moment, a voice came from inside: "President Qin, even if you have drunk foreign ink, you are not as good as you. You are a genius in researching welding technology. We have been waiting for you for a long time since we heard that you were coming."

Along with the voice, an old expert walked out. He was not tall, with a kind face. He didn't wear glasses like other old scholars, and his eyes were piercing.

Guan Qiao, born in 1935, went abroad in 53 to study welding technology at the Bauman Higher Technical School in the Soviet Union. In 59, he obtained a bachelor's degree and was assigned to the Ninth Research Institute after returning to China. However, after working for less than a year, he went to the Bauman Institute again to study welding mechanics, which was just emerging internationally at that time. He graduated in 63 and obtained a Ph.D. degree. After returning to China, he continued to return to the Ninth Research Institute. A few years ago, he came to the 625 Institute and became the director of the Aerospace Special Welding Technology Research Office.

Looking at his resume, you know that he has been dealing with welding all his life. He has solved many problems and is the leader in the domestic welding profession.

"Old Guan, you flatter me. I'm just taking crooked paths, doing some small inventions is okay, but to do scientific research, you still need someone like you," Qin Yang said.

"Sometimes, your methods are more effective. I hope that you can enlighten me this time you come to find me. Do you have any special solutions for our titanium alloy welding?" Guan Qiao asked.

"Yes, we need to trick a German professor over here," Qin Yang said.

Lu Feng, who had become a passerby, was shocked: Trick? How does this routine sound so familiar?
