Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 258, Five Major Aircraft Manufacturing Plants
At the end of April 1963, a large merchant ship slowly docked at the Tianjin Wharf. Gu Haidong, Wei Huayong and others, who had been waiting for a long time, could not wait to board the ship to welcome Zhao Mancang.

However, the ones walking in front were not Gu Haidong and his group, but the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

That’s right, when Zhao Mancang came back this time, he was warmly welcomed by the leader again because Zhao Mancang brought back more than 500 tons of gold.

In addition to gold, he also brought back a Fish Nest and two Farmer fighters. Currently, these three fighters are still on the deck of the merchant ship.

For the leader, whether it is more than 500 tons of gold or these three fighter jets, they are all priceless.

Especially the Fish Nest fighter and the Farmer fighter, which are currently the most advanced MiG series fighters in Moscow. The fact that Zhao Mancang was able to get them back single-handedly is enough to show that he is really awesome.

"Comrade Mancang, you've worked hard!"

On the deck of the large merchant ship, Zhao Mancang saluted his leader with a standard salute, his slightly tired face full of smiles.

"Leader, I'm not tired. I'm just lucky to have survived."

Upon hearing this, the leader was delighted: "You are not lucky, you have the strength. Although I don't know what you have experienced, the fact that you were able to bring these back unscathed from the enemy is enough to show that you are indeed very powerful."

Zhao Mancang had cleared out Sam's military base twice on Mindanao Island. As for Moscow, based on the information collected, the leaders also knew that Zhao Mancang must have done a lot of bad things there.

However, the leaders all like such bad things very much. After all, Moscow is now the enemy of their East China University. Being cruel to the enemy is being kind to themselves.

This time, Zhao Mancang brought back more than 500 tons of gold and three very advanced fighter jets, which was a great thing for Tokyo University.

After chatting with his leader for a few minutes, Zhao Mancang asked Wei Huayong and others to help take out the things in there one by one. During the transportation process, except for gold, which did not require too much caution, other equipment did.

why?
Because in addition to the three fighter jets, Zhao Mancang also brought back some equipment. To others, these equipment are just a pile of scrap metal, but to the Tenglong factory, they are very cool things.

"Mancang, you're awesome!"

Wei Huayong came out of the cabin, walked down the merchant ship, came to Zhao Mancang who was standing on the shore, gave him a thumbs up and praised him.

"Including this time, you've brought back gold treasures worth over $200 million from abroad more than five times. I still remember the time you brought back two and a half tons of gold and $780,000 in cash."

What he was talking about this time was the incident when Zhao Mancang had just left Hong Kong Island and was about to go to Kimura, and happened to meet Zuo Changsheng, Pan Chengdong and Zhang Jinfu. In the end, he joined the 108th Department and made meritorious services in Kimura.

Zhao Mancang just smiled when he heard this. The gold he brought back from abroad increased from single digits at first to ten tons, forty tons, and so on. There was only one time when he brought back one hundred and fifty tons of gold, and that was in January 1960, just before the Spring Festival.

At that time, the value of 150 tons of gold was just over 200 million US dollars. Compared with the more than 500 tons today, it was certainly not much, but it was a lot at the time.

After that, more than 570 tons of gold were brought back in May 1960, and more than 500 tons of gold, silver, antiques, etc. were brought back in February and October 1962, respectively. The value of each shipment exceeded 800 million US dollars.

This was the fourth time that more than 500 tons of gold were brought back, and the leaders were so shocked that they were numb.

In total, Zhao Mancang brought back more than two thousand tons of gold, but what they didn't know was that among so much gold, more than one thousand tons of gold were traded back and forth, and the gold that was actually left in Dongda's pocket was only six or seven hundred tons.

Who made Zhao Mancang have the pseudonym "Comrade Li"?
Most of the gold brought back by Zhao Mancang will be traded by "Comrade Li". Although Zhao Mancang does have a lot of gold in his hands, he can't hand it all over.

If Sam wasn't going to buy rutile in large quantities now, and if it weren't for the fact that it was already difficult to get rutile in Moscow, Zhao Mancang would really be interested in doing some more trading.

Nowadays, the mining of rutile, gold, rare earth and other mineral resources depends on the Nolinasun Company in Australia, and most of them are sold to Dongda, and a small part is sold to other countries and regions.

However, for Zhao Mancang, gold is just a precious metal, and the more the better is not the case, because once it exceeds a certain amount, it will definitely become a thorn in the eyes and bones of others.

What's more, there is not much gold mined in the world at present. The most is in the vault of the Federal Reserve. But does Zhao Mancang dare to do it?
Once it happens, it will become a global crisis.

Even if you take away the gold, it is difficult to spend it. Besides, it is better to exchange it directly from the system mall than to use the gold to buy oil, technology, etc.

"By the way, Mancang, what are those boxes of equipment?"

"Old Wei, that's my biggest gain from this trip. Give it to the Tamron factory. Hehe, it'll instantly create huge value. Get ready to recruit workers! We need a lot of skilled workers."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Wei Huayong immediately became interested and wanted to ask in detail, but the former kept it a secret and insisted on waiting until he returned to the capital.

Zhao Mancang didn't want to say it here to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Because these are fighter jet production equipment, once others know about it, they will definitely be snatched away by related aircraft manufacturing units such as the Liming Engine Manufacturing Plant, the State-owned 5703 Factory, and the Hongdu Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

These units are currently the most powerful aircraft manufacturing units in our country. Of course, apart from these six units, no other units can manufacture aircraft. It’s just that Zhao Mancang wants to challenge the impossible, so from now on, Tenglong Factory will also produce aircraft.

And it's a fighter jet!
In the office of Guozi Lane in Beijing, when Zhao Mancang came back from Lingjing Hutong and told Wei Huayong and the others about this matter, everyone was stunned and frowned.

"Mancang, our Tamron factory simply doesn't have the necessary facilities for this. Aircraft manufacturing is far too complex, and it's simply beyond our capabilities."

Wei Huayong was very worried, but Zhao Mancang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Old Wei, you don't need to worry about these problems. If I say it's okay, it will definitely be okay. Don't bother trying to persuade me. I've already reported to the leadership, and the Tenglong factory's qualification to produce aircraft will be approved soon."

After a pause, he continued:

"Well, Lao Wei, go and call Comrade Meng Liangji over for me. I'll talk to him about this in person."

Meng Liangji was the head of the Tamlong factory and had certain skills, but it was certain that he would not be able to manufacture airplanes.

Seeing this, Wei Huayong opened his mouth, but finally sighed and picked up the phone to inform Meng Liangji.

After receiving the call, the latter quickly said that he would be there immediately. It didn't take him much time and he rushed back from outside the city in less than half an hour.

"Director Zhao, Chief Wei, please give us your instructions, leaders."

Meng Liangji, who had just entered the office, greeted everyone with a smile, but soon his smile froze on his face when he heard Zhao Mancang say that he wanted to build an airplane.

My goodness, can their Tamron factory produce such high-end stuff as airplanes?

Zhao Mancang's face darkened when he heard this. "Why can't we build it? I don't care. We've recruited quite a few college students this year. We can use them to build a technical backbone. We can't build a plane all at once, but we can make the parts first and then reassemble them later."

"I'm telling you, Director Meng, I'm determined to build this plane. Even if Khrushchev comes, he can't stop me. If I say I'm going to build it, I'll definitely build it."

"The relevant technology and manufacturing equipment have been shipped back and are now in the warehouse. Director Meng, please hurry up and arrange for the technicians to learn. If you encounter any questions, there are so many professors at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics who you can consult. Don't pretend to know if you don't."

hiss!
Meng Liangji took a deep breath, sorted himself out, then looked at Zhao Mancang with a serious expression and said:

"Yes, Director Zhao, I will follow your instructions and complete the task!"

After sending Meng Liangji away, Zhao Mancang sighed. He knew that fighter jets were difficult to manufacture, but he couldn't just stop manufacturing them because of the difficulties, right?
There will be more difficult technologies in the future, so are you not going to tackle them?

Besides, the Longxing Research Institute still has researchers like Professor Gan Guangde. Although they are already responsible for the research and development of drone technology, which is already quite difficult, Zhao Mancang now wants to use this to stimulate Professor Gan Guangde and others.

After chatting about work with Lao Wei for a while, Zhao Mancang drove back home.

There haven't been many changes at home, although he was not at home almost throughout April, only for two days at the beginning of the month and now for the next two days at the end of the month, but in such a short period of time, there really hasn't been much change at home.

I rested at home for three days because May 1st is International Labor Day, which is also a holiday.

During the May Day holiday, Zhao Mancang took Zhao Huijun and several other children to the zoo. When they saw that there were several more animals from Africa in the zoo, the greedy cat and other children were very happy.

Lions, zebras, giraffes, cheetahs, etc. are all animals unique to the African continent. Zhao Huijun and her friends who often visit the zoo do not recognize these animals, so they feel very surprised.

Zhao Mancang didn’t know why there were suddenly so many exotic animals from Africa in the Beijing Zoo, but the children were very happy to see them, so it was a good thing.

After visiting the zoo for a whole morning, they returned home for lunch and were still enjoying the meal with gusto.

In the afternoon, I went to Wangfujing and strolled around for more than two hours, then went home. Labor Day passed like this.

After his vacation, Zhao Mancang returned to his office in Guozi Lane, and Meng Liangji, Gan Guangde and others came to him to cry and complain.

"Director Zhao, you're taking too big a step. Wanting to build an airplane now? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

"Professor Gan, we've already started developing drones, and we have quite a few technicians. Is there any problem with us assigning some of them to come over and help guide us so we can first learn how to manufacture aircraft parts?"

Looking at Gan Guangde, who had a bitter smile and resentment on his face, Zhao Mancang retorted confidently:
"I know the research and development of drones is very important and you're all very anxious, but even if I don't transfer some researchers, do you, Professor Gan, dare to guarantee that I can develop the drone I want within the specified time?"

"Look, you can't even give me an accurate answer yourself, so why not come up with something more practical and let the technicians learn to manufacture aircraft parts first? Isn't that right?"

"Another point, I plan to have the students from Jiaolong School go to Longxing Research Institute, Jiaolong Army, and Tenglong Factory for internships this summer. How much they can learn and whether they can help you is up to you."

"It's May now, and there are only two months left until summer vacation. I'll be holding a meeting in a couple of days. Professor Gan, all of you project leaders should plan and adjust your plans to determine how many students are needed and which relatively simple technical projects can be assigned to these students."

In order to enable the students of Jiaolong School to have a more comprehensive understanding and integrate into this large collective as soon as possible, and at the same time make rational use of human resources, Zhao Mancang naturally learned to let these students participate in actual work in the name of "internship".

This is not a troublesome thing. Proper use of students' holidays will bring certain benefits to both students and the unit itself.

We can’t let these students go back to their hometowns for vacation, right?
Anyway, Zhao Mancang was not very happy about it. Even if he allowed them to take a vacation, it would not be now.

Gan Guangde and Meng Liangji had different reactions when they heard this. The former frowned, while the latter's eyes lit up.

The Longxing Research Institute does not need so many students with weak academic knowledge, especially Gan Guangde's complex UAV project. For people without certain knowledge and innovative ability, the most they need to do is to broaden their horizons, nothing more.

So letting students from Jiaolong School come for internship sounds like having free horses to drive, which is a good thing. But in reality, researchers need to be arranged to guide these students, which is even worse.

On the other hand, if these students come to the Tamron factory for internship, they can directly arrange all of them to the factory assembly line. Hey, maybe they can complete the related manufacturing tasks faster.

For example, to produce bulletproof vests today, we must first produce the raw materials for the bulletproof vests, which involves many technical links.

"Director Zhao, this..."

Gan Guangde wanted to say something when there was a knock on the door. A guest had arrived.

Zhao Mancang took the opportunity to end the meeting and asked Gan Guangde and Meng Liangji to go back and reflect on the matter carefully. If there were any problems, they should solve them and not come to him to complain again.

Moreover, his request was not to have the Tamron factory produce fighter jets immediately, but to do it step by step. The requirement was not very high.

What's more, when drones are developed in the future, will they be handed over to other units for production?

If that’s the case, then why did Zhao Mancang set up the Tamron factory in the first place?

In another office, Zhao Mancang walked in with a smile. After Gu Haidong's introduction, he knew who the guest was.

The visitors were none other than the two leaders of the Liming Engine Manufacturing Plant, Secretary Gu Xiuquan and Director Wu Zhengxiong. After exchanging pleasantries, they explained their purpose of visit.

"Hello, Director Zhao. We heard your company recently brought back a batch of advanced engine manufacturing equipment from abroad. As far as I know, your factory probably won't need this equipment for the time being. Could you please exchange it with us?"

It is called an exchange, but in fact it is just an IOU.

Because the Liming Engine Manufacturing Factory had nothing to give Zhao Mancang. The equipment in their factory was relatively old. Even if there were new equipment, it was sold to them by "Comrade Li" before.

In other words, Zhao Mancang had a general understanding of the new equipment in the Liming Engine Manufacturing Plant.

Apart from the equipment, Zhao Mancang also looked down on other things. However, he still wanted the resources in the other party's hands. But the other party would definitely not be willing to give them to him, right?
"Sure, no problem at all. But Secretary Gu, I don't lack anything here. You have to think carefully about what to exchange with us. Ordinary money or something will definitely not work."

Hearing Zhao Mancang's words, Gu Xiuqun's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile and say:

"Director Zhao, I know what your company is short of. We still have over 20 university graduate quotas this year. How about giving them to you?"

"Also, you still need to recruit students this year. Our factory will definitely cooperate with you and give priority to arranging for our students of appropriate age to take the independent enrollment exam for your Jiaolong School. How do you think?"

The first condition sounded pretty good, but twenty college students wanted to take away the engine manufacturing equipment that he had worked so hard to bring back from abroad. This was a joke.

The latter condition was not attractive to Zhao Mancang at all. Jiaolong School's enrollment was for rural primary schools across the country, and factory primary schools were not considered at all.

why?
Because Zhao Mancang and others don't need to worry about the graduation rate of the factory's primary school. Even if these students do not have better development in the end, they can go home and inherit their parents' jobs, or get a job in the unit with the help of their parents' connections.

In other words, these children in factories will most likely become city dwellers in the future.

The reason why Zhao Mancang established Jiaolong School is to give rural children an opportunity. Although there are so many rural primary schools across the country, many people still cannot seize the opportunity provided by Jiaolong School.

But it's a subtle change after all.

Zhao Mancang shook his head and said:

"Secretary Gu, your conditions are definitely not acceptable."

He just refused but did not put forward any conditions, because if he took the initiative to put forward the conditions, the other party would definitely bargain.

So let the other party take the initiative.

"Director Zhao, this is the greatest sincerity that our Liming Engine Manufacturing Plant can offer, because you don't need anything else."

There is indeed no need for that. Whether it is money or resources, Zhao Mancang can solve it at any time. In terms of the status of their unit in the minds of the leaders above, it is definitely higher than that of the Dawn Engine Manufacturing Plant.

Who made Zhao Mancang like the God of Wealth?
"I'm so sorry, Secretary Gu, I have something else to do. Director Gu, Lao Wei, please help me entertain Secretary Gu."

Since Gu Xiuqun was crying poor, Zhao Mancang definitely didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him.

Faced with Zhao Mancang who did not play by the rules, Gu Xiuqun and Wu Zhengxiong were stunned for a moment. They stood up and wanted to hold the former back, but Zhao Mancang just politely asked Gu Haidong and Wei Huayong to help entertain them. He did not give them any chance to continue talking nonsense and quickly ran away.

In the next few days, Zhao Mancang did not see Gu Xiuquan and Wu Zhengxiong again. Instead, he visited the state-owned Factory 5703, Factory 321, Changan Aircraft Manufacturing Plant and Chengfei Factory one after another.

Except for the Changan Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, the conditions offered by several other units were quite good, but far from what Zhao Mancang expected.

why?
In fact, Zhao Mancang brought back a total of six sets of manufacturing equipment for the Farmer and Fish Nest fighter jets from abroad this time.

Zhao Mancang brought back all the parts manufacturing equipment for these two fighter jets, from as small as an inconspicuous screw to as large as engine blades and aircraft skin manufacturing processes.

Therefore, he could fully meet the equipment needs of the five domestic aircraft manufacturers, and even have an extra set reserved for the Tenglong Factory. What Zhao Mancang wanted was also simple: these companies needed to give up their university student quotas and provide a dozen or twenty technicians to the Tenglong Factory.

The Tenglong factory had just started and was even worse than the Changan Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, which was established in 1958.

The foundation is too poor, so it is a pipe dream to want to build an airplane.

However, Zhao Mancang had already made a comprehensive plan. The five domestic aircraft manufacturing units, headed by the Liming Engine Manufacturing Plant, all had a large number of technical talents. It would be a waste to keep these talents in their own units.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang wanted to transfer a part of the personnel to create conditions for the aircraft manufacturing branch of the Tenglong factory. Otherwise, even if there were technology and equipment, without technicians, he could only watch helplessly.

Don't even think about it if you only rely on the few people under Gan Guangde.

Then why does Zhao Mancang need so many technicians?
For example, in 410, the Dawn Engine Manufacturing Plant, also known as Plant 95, began trial-producing the turbojet 6 engine based on the Elder- technical data provided by Moscow.

Leaders such as Gu Xiuquan and Wu Zhengxiong all participated in it, and then in March 1959, the National Appraisal Committee inspected and approved the project for production.

But in fact, the WP-6 engine never passed the 100-hour run test and was not actually approved for production until .

However, after years of improvement, it was not until 6 that the test run of the turbojet engine was raised to the standard of hours.

Another example is the Chengfei factory. They started trial production of the turbojet 6 engine last year, that is, in , and succeeded in September of the same year.

But the actual situation is the same. There is no way to achieve a 200-hour test run.

It is indeed very backward. It can only be said that the technical data is not good enough, and the Moscow experts are not very willing to teach.

Of course, by the middle of the 1960s, Moscow experts had completely withdrawn from the University of Tokyo, so many things came to a halt, causing many projects to be suspended. It would have been too much to rely on ourselves to do it all.

Relying on this technical foundation, Zhao Mancang has now taken out so much technical information and production equipment. If he can make more efforts, he may be able to take the fighter jet manufacturing technology of Dongda University to a new level.

But everyone has selfish motives.

Of course, Zhao Mancang prefers the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization where he works rather than other units.

After nearly half a month of consultation and negotiation, five units, including the Liming Engine Manufacturing Plant, the State-owned 5703 Factory, the Hongdu Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, the Chengfei Factory, and the Changan Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, each gave up college student quotas and technical backbones to the Tenglong Factory.

In addition, some resources also need to be given to Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization as compensation, such as coal shares, steel shares, etc. After these are confirmed, the transaction is considered complete.

In fact, Gu Xiuquan and others had reported this matter to the higher-ups. After all, Zhao Mancang's behavior of asking for such a high price was really too unkind.

But is it useful?

Useless!

Which leader dares to offend Zhao Mancang, the God of Wealth?

Even when the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street called Zhao Mancang to Lingjing Hutong for a talk, they did not use force to pressure him, but used a tone of negotiation, so what else can Gu Xiuqun and others do?
Only compromise!

"Director Meng, this time I've shamelessly risked offending other units to get you 125 aircraft manufacturing technicians. You must protect these technicians and not let them suffer any injustice. Do you understand?"

After the negotiations, Zhao Mancang found Meng Liangji and gave him instructions.

The latter was so happy that he was about to explode. With these one hundred more technicians, the aircraft manufacturing branch of their Tenglong factory could be truly established.

Although one hundred technicians are not a lot, it is still a hundred times better than having none.

With these 125 technical backbones as the foundation, the aircraft manufacturing branch can be set up quickly, and within a few months it will be possible to start formally manufacturing parts, and then launch a full-scale attack on aircraft manufacturing.

"Thank you, Director Zhao. Please rest assured that even if I, Meng Liangji, don't eat, I will make sure our technicians have enough to eat."

Meng Liangji patted his chest loudly. After making his promise, he asked cautiously:
"Director Zhao, do you think our Tenglong factory can allocate some quota for college students?"

He also knew that units like the Dawn Engine Manufacturing Plant had each allocated thirty places for college students, which added up to a total of one hundred and fifty places.

Although their Tenglong factory has already obtained 125 technician quotas, college students are also very valuable resources, and Meng Liangji certainly wants them.

Zhao Mancang heard this, smiled and patted the other person's shoulder, saying:

"No problem, this time I'll give you 20 places at the Tamron factory, you must seize the opportunity."

There are only twenty places?
Hearing this, Meng Liangji was very disappointed, but he did not dare to bargain with Zhao Mancang because the latter was his leader. Bargaining with a leader would only lead to trouble.

After encouraging Meng Liangji for a few words, Zhao Mancang was about to send him away, but the other party suddenly mentioned that he wanted to pick up the 125 technicians, so he immediately stopped him.

"No, don't let them come by train. Just notify them and have them pack everything. Then wait at the nearby military base airport. I'll fly over to pick them up!"

Forehead?
Meng Liangji was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhao Mancang would attach so much importance to these technicians that he would actually fly a plane to pick them up himself?

"Why are you still standing there? Go and notify them." Zhao Mancang patted the other person's shoulder and urged.

"Okay, boss, I understand. If they knew about this news, they would be so happy."

Hearing Meng Liangji's words, Zhao Mancang smiled but said nothing.

He didn't know whether he was happy or not, but leaders like Gu Xiuqun probably hated him, Zhao Mancang, to death.

This was not the first time that Zhao Mancang came to the city of Chengdu, in the country of Sichuan. The last time he came, he took the train. This time, he drove the Mario M6147 passenger plane directly to pick people up.

Chengfei Factory has a total of 25 technicians and 30 vacancies for college students. This time, Zhao Mancang came and brought all 55 of them back to Beijing at once.

This year is 1963. This class of university graduates are those high school graduates who took the college entrance examination in July 1959. A total of 274,000 students were admitted in this class.

It sounds like there are so many college students, but there are very few of them scattered across the country's ministries, factories, etc.

What's more, what Zhao Mancang needs is undergraduate students, not junior college students.

Because this is the wool being plucked from units like the Dawn Engine Manufacturing Plant, of course we have to choose the best.

In this era, college students are the elite among the elites, and no matter how precious they are, it is not too much to say.

Twenty-five technicians and thirty college students were all standing on the side of the military base airport, watching a large passenger plane land at the airport, and they were all shocked.

Among these fifty-five people, none of them had ever been on a plane, and the thirty college students were seeing a plane for the first time, so they were all very curious and surprised.

However, the twenty-five technicians were surprised by the size of Mario M6147, because it was really big.

Zhao Mancang walked out of the cabin door and saw the person he was going to pick up at a glance.

After exchanging pleasantries with the relevant persons in charge and politely declining their request for a meal, Zhao Mancang asked the 25 technicians and 30 college students to board the plane with their own luggage.

After arranging for them to sit down and fasten their seat belts, Zhao Mancang flew the plane away.

He did not return to the capital directly, but flew directly to Chang'an and took away 55 college student technicians from the Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

There were a total of 110 people, all of whom were brought back to the capital.

The next day, he went to Hongdu and Modu again, and finally flew to Shenyang to bring the last 55 technicians and college students back to Beijing.

The leaders of other units such as Factory 5703 were still transporting equipment on the way, but Zhao Mancang had already picked them up, which maximized the efficiency.

After these 275 people returned to Beijing, 125 technicians and 20 college students were assigned to the Tenglong Factory. The remaining 130 college students will be divided into two groups, 50 of whom will enter the Longxing Research Institute, and the other 80 will be sent by Zhao Mancang to the Shaya Laboratory in the northwest.

If there aren't many unexpected events, it's highly likely that Jiaolong Comprehensive Agency will not be able to recruit more talents this year.

Every company is in a difficult situation. Everyone is short of talent and needs talent. It is impossible for Zhao Mancang to take in so many college students.

Know when to stop and proceed step by step.

In mid-May, Zhao Mancang flew a plane carrying eighty college students directly to the Northwest.

When the plane landed at the Shaya Regional Airport in the Taklamakan Desert, Qi Zizhou, Painezhi and their team were already waiting in front of the airport warehouse.

It was agreed that Zhao Mancang would come every two weeks, but he did not come in April.

However, he had made arrangements in advance, so he was not afraid that people like Xu Qinggong would rebel.

In early May, just a few days after Labor Day, Zhao Mancang came to the Northwest and provided them with a large amount of fresh food such as vegetables and fruits.

Everyone was so happy at that time because they had never eaten these fresh fruits and vegetables even at their previous workplaces.

Most of these fruits are tropical fruits, such as bananas, pineapples, durian, lychees, etc. Most of the fruits are not in season, but Zhao Mancang has supplied a lot of them.

"Welcome to Shaya Laboratory!"

After opening the cabin door, Zhao Mancang smiled at the eighty college students still sitting in their seats.

Li Weihan, Yang Jihui, Chai Yunzhen and other college students, each carrying their own luggage, walked off the plane with curiosity on their faces.

The laboratory is located deep in the northwest, with a desolate desert in the distance and a vibrant oasis nearby. It seems inharmonious, but it is very harmonious.

More than three months have passed since Zhao Mancang renovated the laboratory in February. Of the trees transplanted previously, more than 95% of the plants have survived.

Because Zhao Mancang transplanted the trees directly with their roots and soil, the roots of the trees were hardly damaged. Perhaps because the desert climate is different, a small number of plants still died.

But Zhao Mancang could fully accept such a loss.

Therefore, such a beautiful oasis immediately attracted college students like Li Weihan.

"Beautiful, it's really stunning!"

The ultimate beauty of nature is of course very inspiring for many people who see such beautiful scenery for the first time.

Zhao Mancang was used to seeing this, so he naturally didn't think there was anything strange about it.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Pan, you guys take care of the arrangements. These are all college graduates who just graduated this year."

After waving to Qi Zizhou and others, Zhao Mancang assigned them tasks, and at the same time did not forget to introduce the identities of Qi Zizhou and others to college students like Li Weihan.

After settling these college students, Zhao Mancang went to find Xu Qinggong and other project leaders to follow up on the project progress.

Yang Yongfu, Wu Shaoyun, Xu Qinggong and others gave a brief work report and then went to select people.

The laboratory project here has just started, so there is no rush.

It's like when Zhao Mancang came here at the beginning of the month, Qi Zizhou and others reported that Guo Taoshun was a spy, but he didn't deal with it.

Why not deal with it?

Because he still needs to use Guo Taoshun's knowledge and skills to contribute to Shaya Laboratory, rather than getting rid of him.

There is a severe shortage of manpower in Shaya Laboratory, and many projects are short of manpower.

This place is very hidden, and Zhao Mancang is not worried at all about being discovered by the outside world.

Up to now, only Zhao Mancang knows where Shaya Laboratory is. Even Qi Zizhou and others don’t know.

They only need to guard the helicopter in the warehouse, and it will be impossible for them to connect to the outside world.

The signal jammer placed in the Shaya laboratory was not developed and produced by the Beijing Longxing Research Institute, but a product exchanged by Zhao Mancang from the system space.

Products produced by the system are of course of top quality.

As long as electricity is ensured at all times, Guo Taoshun's wishful thinking of using a telegraph to transmit signals to the outside world would be wishful thinking.

The power generation equipment used by the signal jammer is not a diesel generator, but a solar energy device that Zhao Mancang exchanged from the system space.

This thing is definitely a groundbreaking product. After all, Sam's Club doesn't have such awesome equipment.

In 6, Samuel Chabin, Fuller and Pearson of Bell Labs developed a single-crystal silicon solar cell with an efficiency of %, and in it began to be used to power space exploration equipment.

However, Zhao Mancang certainly looked down upon such inefficient batteries. The solar power generation device he exchanged for was fully capable of powering several air conditioners for 24 hours of continuous operation.

The Taklamakan Desert region has plenty of sunshine hours, with more than 300 sunny days a year, so its solar power generation capacity is very considerable.

What's more, Zhao Mancang also arranged a backup battery for the jammer, which is enough to support the operation of the signal jammer for up to half a month.

In other words, as long as the signal jammer is not discovered by bad guys like Guo Taoshun and its power is not physically cut off, it will definitely continue to operate.

In this way, the signal cannot be transmitted.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Pan, besides Guo Taoshun, are there any other suspicious persons?"

In the secret office, Zhao Mancang called Qi Zizhou and Pan Enzhi in and asked seriously.
