Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

A special train sped through towering mountains, the outside world covered in皑皑white snow. The heating in the carriages was turned up high, and the passengers couldn't help but sigh at the scenery outside.

"Your country in the East is truly vast!" Natalie said, "I recently read a poem that described thousands of miles of ice and tens of thousands of miles of snow. At first, I thought it was an exaggeration, but after seeing this journey, which has been nothing but a world of ice and snow, I believe it."

Natalie spoke in Chinese when she said "thousands of miles of ice and tens of thousands of miles of snow," which made Qin Yang curious: "Ms. Natalie, are you learning our language?"

"Yes, I may be working here for a long time and need to communicate with you, instead of always relying on a translator," Natalie said, "But Eastern languages are too difficult, especially your writing system. I still can't write well."

Busy with work? Over this period, Natalie felt that Qin Yang seemed to be idle all day long. Where was he busy?

"Qin, what kind of factory is Factory 112, which we are about to arrive at?" Natalie continued to make conversation.

The other Israelis also looked over, so Qin Yang began, "This aircraft factory has a long history, dating back to the Qing Dynasty during the Westernization Movement…"

Nie Xiaoqian didn't interrupt Qin Yang's bragging. In reality, Factory 112 had nothing to do with the Westernization Movement. The earliest it could be traced back to was the warlord era. Its predecessor was just an aircraft repair shop under Zhang Xueliang.

"After the Liaoshen Campaign, the Northeast Field Army Aviation School took over Beiling Airport and established the Fifth Factory of the Northeast People's Liberation Army Aviation School's Aircraft Maintenance Department. At that time, its main task was to repair aircraft. In '53, when our country started its first Five-Year Plan, Factory 112 became one of the 156 key projects at the time. By '55, the factory was officially expanded, and almost all of the East's fighter jets had their first flights here."

The J-5, J-6, J-7, J-8… all had their first flights here. Factory 112 was the big brother of the Eastern aviation industry, and that wasn't just talk; it was a solid fact.

"The establishment of your domestic aviation industry was earlier than ours," Natalie said, "It's a pity that your development has been slow. Even the J-8 fighter jet is only about the same as our F4 Phantom, and there's a big gap compared to our domestically developed Lavi fighter. If you were willing to let us see that early warning aircraft…"

Qin Yang shook his head: "Our fighter jet technology is not bad."

"Not bad? Your J-8 still uses a nose intake, right? It can't even be equipped with a large-diameter radar. What's so advanced about it?" Adam asked from the side.

Qin Yang smiled and didn't answer.

The train traveled from day to night, and from night to the next morning, finally pulling into Factory 112.

The factory area was also covered in皑皑white snow. It wasn't that people didn't clean it, but that it was useless to clean. If you cleaned it one day, it would still snow the next day. Except for the roads where people walked, there was no need to clean the other open spaces.

The factory area didn't have very tall buildings. Whether it was the production workshop or the living quarters, almost all of them were about three stories high, all in the architectural style of the fifties with gray bricks and sloping roofs. The roofs were covered with thick snow, and large icicles hung from the eaves.

It was warm inside the rooms and cold outside, so the bottom of the snow on the roof would melt and flow down, and then freeze again at the eaves, creating this unique sight.

You couldn't see it in the capital; you could only see it outside the pass.

On the platform, dispatchers wearing military coats and dog-skin hats waved small flags. As the train slowly pulled up, the carriage where Natalie and the others were stopped right next to this person. Natalie looked at the outside in surprise.

"Why are his eyebrows white?"

"That's frost."

"How is that possible? Eyebrows can freeze?" Natalie was a little unconvinced.

With a clang, the train finally came to a stop. The carriage door opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in, causing Natalie to shiver immediately.

Cold, really cold. This wind blew straight into her bones! Although she had already adapted to the cold in the capital, she still couldn't imagine that Shenyang, which was further north than the capital, could be this cold.

Quickly put on her military coat!

Natalie shivered as she went to find her military coat, and saw Qin Yang helping Nie Xiaoqian put on her military coat, while Nie Xiaoqian put a hat on Qin Yang. This scene was truly enviable. Why was no one helping her!

"Everyone, put on your clothes. It's cold outside," Qin Yang reminded everyone, "But don't worry, whether it's the workshop or the living quarters, there's heating, and the rooms are very warm."

After speaking, Qin Yang walked outside, stepping off the train and then helping Nie Xiaoqian.

Hmph, he didn't even help her! Natalie was very dissatisfied, looking at the backs of Qin Yang and Nie Xiaoqian with resentful eyes, and at the same time, she stepped down.

Why was it so slippery down here?

Natalie's body immediately fell backward, and the white-browed hero next to her quickly supported her: "Be careful."

Although she didn't fall, Natalie was still startled. The cold wind blew, and she instantly felt her face go numb, unable to move! She widened her eyes and looked at Qin Yang.

At this time, Qin Yang had already walked to the people who were welcoming them on the platform.

"President Qin, welcome to our Songling Machinery Company!" A cadre in his fifties or sixties extended his hand: "I am the director of Factory 112. Just call me Old Tang. The ministry has given instructions to warmly welcome you."

"Thank you, we…" Qin Yang's mouth puffed out white air, but before he could finish speaking, he heard a呜呜呜sound from behind. He turned his head in surprise. What was going on?

Was Natalie crying?

She originally thought that the capital was cold enough, but now she didn't expect it to be even colder here. Just after getting off the train, Natalie was frozen to the point of crying!

The cold wind blew, and her face instantly lost all sensation. She felt the ice crystals appearing on her long eyelashes, and then thought about Qin Yang showing off his affection in front of her, and finally couldn't help it.

However, when the tears flowed out, she felt something was wrong. Would these tears freeze on her face?

"Director Tang, let's go to the workshop over there to warm up first. You should send a few commuter cars with heating to these guests," Qin Yang quickly instructed.

"Yes, we didn't consider that thoroughly enough." Looking at Natalie's appearance, Director Tang was also shocked.

"Come, everyone, follow me and warm up inside!" Qin Yang said, pointing to the workshop next to him.

Large enterprises have railways, which makes it convenient to move materials. During the Far East War, the railway played a role in quickly repairing many aircraft, and various parts were also moved through the railway.

At the same time, for convenience, the railway was next to the factory building.

Thus, a group of Israeli guests shivered and entered the factory building.

Natalie regained the feeling of warmth and also felt a little embarrassed about crying just now. After entering, she took two long breaths and adjusted her mood.

Next, she glanced around, and then… she was shocked.

The real thing from the air show back then.
