Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 319 The meat must rot in the pot! (First update!)

Almost instantly, the way everyone looked at Feng Zhenhua changed.

It's no longer the way a junior looks at a senior, nor the way peers look at each other; it's more like...

Look at the fool's eyes.

Feng Zhenhua saw all the people's expressions and actions, but he didn't say anything. He just silently finished his work.

After he had smeared the blood of several roosters onto the edge of the satellite's outer shell and completed the process, he decisively picked up the electronic incense burner, walked out of the workshop, and threw it directly into the trash can.

The speed of their movements was so fast that it was dazzling.

After doing all this, he returned to the crowd, raised his hands high, and then clapped lightly.

Applause broke out, and everyone present knew that the previous mystical procedures were over, and now it was time for everyone to talk nonsense.

As expected, after drawing everyone's attention to himself, Feng Zhenhua spoke gently:

"Several distinguished guests have come to our ribbon-cutting ceremony today."

"Now, let's welcome them with a warm round of applause!"

"These distinguished guests are our Chairman, Comrade Han Pengfei!"

"Comrade Guo Song, Director of the Army Equipment Division of the General Armaments Department!"

"Comrade Zhu Jingyao, Director of the Naval Equipment Division of the General Armament Department!"

"Comrade Yi Guoping, Director of the Air Force Equipment Division of the General Armaments Department..."

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in our event."

"Now, especially our Chairman Han Pengfei, let's give a speech! Everyone, please welcome him!"

Han Pengfei took the microphone, nodded to the crowd in front of him, and then said gently:
"Actually, it's a bit unreasonable for me to give the opening speech."

"Because I didn't play a very important role in this mission, but since everyone has been so kind to invite me to give the opening speech, I'll just say a few words."

"This time, everyone's work has reached an extremely high level, far exceeding any previous performance."

"I hope everyone can continue to maintain this high standard of work attitude, and carry it forward to bring glory to our aerospace industry!"

"Okay, I'm done!"

After finishing his speech, Han Pengfei stepped aside and handed the microphone and the stage back to Feng Zhenhua.

Ahead, the crowd clearly hadn't expected Han Pengfei to actually only say a few words. It was only long after his voice had faded that they belatedly raised their hands and began to applaud wildly.

These days, it's rare to see a leader who acts like this.

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Feng Zhenhua handed the microphone to Guo Song, who gently waved it away.

"Director Feng, let's skip this one, you can do it!"

The rhythm was disrupted.

Feng Zhenhua took a deep breath, brought the microphone to his lips, turned to face the crowd, and excitedly began to speak:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is not a big day, but it is a day worth remembering."

"On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first satellite in human history."

“Since then, we have been working hard to catch up, and we still are now.”

"The process of catching up is difficult; we've stumbled along the way!"

"But today, we can say with certainty that we have seen their tails."

"For no other reason than that with the help of Xiaomi Heavy Industry, we have the opportunity and the ability to present everyone with an industrial feast."

"In this industrial extravaganza, dozens of our research institutes and companies received the blueprints for the first time, but we familiarized ourselves with them in the shortest possible time."

"This was our first time manufacturing parts, but miraculously, in these batches of parts manufacturing, our defect rate was almost zero."

"This is the first time we've assembled this unique satellite, but we haven't made a single mistake. We've completed the manufacturing of all five satellites with perfect precision."

"This was the first time we had received the system data, but in the shortest possible time, we mastered it and matched it to the satellite, enabling it to pass operational tests!"

"We completed the entire process in less than a month."

"During this period, each of us appeared precisely in our respective positions and did our assigned work."

"We have never encountered this situation before."

"Even if it happens by chance, it takes a lot of time."

"After thinking about it for a long time, I can only attribute it all to the fact that Xiaomi Heavy Industry not only provided us with the blueprints, but also used the blueprints to provide us with a systematic understanding."

"This understanding helps us to grasp information and data more quickly, and at the same time, it allows us to surpass ourselves and reach a new level."

"We can proudly announce to the world that we have accomplished a challenge that surpasses ourselves!"

Feng Zhenhua raised his right fist high and swung it forcefully.

Ahead, the people from the Space Technology Research Institute, as well as those who came to participate in this ribbon-cutting event, all clapped enthusiastically in rhythm with him.

The applause grew louder and louder, and the people behind him joined in.

The loudest applause came from several people in the Air Force.

Guo Song, who was standing nearby, saw all of this and clapped his hands as well. He whispered to Yi Guoping, "Calm down, everyone. I think your hands are all swollen!"

Hearing his words, Yi Guoping turned around and asked excitedly:

How can I stay calm?

"There are at least 10,000 to 20,000 people involved in the satellite manufacturing this time."

"If some of these 10,000 or 20,000 people were assigned to the Air Force to assemble aircraft, what do you think would happen to our aircraft?"

This sentence instantly brought Guo Song to his senses.

He thought for a moment, then lowered his head in silence.

Satellites and airplanes are both highly precision equipment.

Comparatively speaking, satellites have higher requirements than airplanes, and the two also share some similarities in terms of components.

The people in the aerospace system were able to manufacture the satellite in such a short time, according to the blueprints and a series of procedures.

What if we adjust it to the Air Force system?
Does that mean we can mass-produce aircraft parts and then assemble them in large quantities?

The thought of this possibility made Guo Song extremely excited, but the excitement on his face quickly vanished without a trace.

Both of these things are very important, and the aerospace system already has a small workforce. If these people were transferred to the air force to produce aircraft, the aerospace system would come to a standstill.

However, it's still worthwhile to submit a report on this matter and see what the leadership thinks.

Having made up his mind, Guo Song turned his attention back to Feng Zhenhua.

It was only then that he noticed that Feng Zhenhua's speech had ended, and the speaker had become the person in charge of Xiaomi Heavy Industry.

His name is Lu Jingchen.

Unlike Feng Zhenhua's impassioned speech, Lu Jingchen's speech was much more restrained.

Perhaps it was because among those present, only a few people from Xiaomi Heavy Industry were not from the government system.

No, he seems to be a professor at Jinling University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Ahead, Lu Jingchen forced himself to maintain his composure and calmly spoke:
"This success is just the beginning for Xiaomi Heavy Industry. It is inseparable from everyone's strong support and the support of our leaders."

"On behalf of Xiaomi Heavy Industry, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone!"

"However, our journey is not over yet, and there are still many thorns ahead of us."

"We need to transform our knowledge into a sharp sword and our experience into a shield, wielding both to cut through all obstacles in our path!" "Thank you everyone!"

He used very high-sounding words and thanked everyone around him.

After he finished speaking, the applause grew louder once again.

After exchanging pleasantries, he handed the microphone back to Feng Zhenhua, who then, following the previously agreed-upon procedure, selected representatives from several sister units to speak on stage.

The activities in the workshop continued until lunchtime.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, the head chef brought out today's main dish.

A uniquely styled braised spicy chicken.

Feng Zhenhua chuckled and pointed to the large pot in front of him: "This pot contains the chickens from this morning. Of course, those chickens weren't enough, so I had someone buy some more."

"This chicken is lucky!"

"Have a try!"

Everyone stared silently at the chicken in the pot, then silently reached out with their chopsticks, and then silently reached out again.

Really fragrant!

After finishing his meal, during a break, Guo Cong found Han Pengfei:
"From the current perspective, there are no major problems with the satellite."

"Now it's up to the Rockets."

"Do you have confidence?"

Han Pengfei clenched his right fist and pounded his chest hard:

"Director Guo, don't worry. To be honest, if I hadn't seen these satellites, I might have made a few polite excuses."

"But now, I can tell you definitively."

"I, Han Pengfei, and everyone in the Aerospace Group responsible for rocket launches will not hold anyone back!"

"Keep it up!" Guo Song didn't say anything more, just said "keep it up," and then gently patted the other person's shoulder.

…………

"Boss, the ribbon-cutting ceremony has come to a successful conclusion!"

"In about 15 more days, the remaining satellites will be completed."

"As long as the rocket launch goes smoothly, we should be able to see our satellite launched into space in the news in 30 days at most!"

"Also, we need to speed up the construction of our ground control center, data station, and ground station."

"And now we need to resolve the data station issue as soon as possible..."

Listening to Lu Jingchen's rambling on the phone, Lin Yi sighed softly and hung up the phone.

However, the difficulty in building these infrastructures lies not in construction, but in site selection.

Satellite control centers and data stations require a large amount of electricity and a low electromagnetic interference environment.

Unfortunately, Suzhou doesn't have much of either of these things.

Suzhou's power supply, and even the power supply of the entire Jiangsu province, is mainly based on coal-fired power, supplemented by imported power.

With the country advocating environmental protection, local coal-fired power companies are carrying out desulfurization retrofits on their generating units, resulting in a significant reduction in production capacity.

Even with external power transmission, it is impossible to meet the electricity demand during peak hours.

Not to mention that now we also have to add a few major electricity consumers.

Can't carry it!
Those guys at the power grid will definitely be cursing.

As for the electromagnetic interference environment, sorry, there is no low electromagnetic interference environment in Suzhou.

The only places that can be considered worthwhile are the few not-so-high hills west of Suzhou and the two islands in Taihu Lake.

But that area is a park, and one of the few woodlands in Suzhou, so it's basically undevelopable.

Uncomfortable!

With a sigh, Lin Yi began searching through the satellite's data. The data package provided by the system contained the relevant requirements for the construction of control centers and data stations.

He quickly found the corresponding file.

He pasted the key information from the file, copied it into a new document, and then sent the document to Qin Chao's secretary, Xiao He, along with a message.

[Please check if there's anywhere in Suzhou where this can be done. If not, I'll send someone to look elsewhere. It's urgent.]

Suzhou Municipal Government.

Xiao He is currently compiling development data for each district to provide to Qin Chao so that he can formulate a development plan for the second half of the year.

His phone suddenly chimed twice. He picked it up casually and opened the text message just as casually.

After reading the text message, he couldn't wait to open his email and find the emails inside.

After going through the emails, he could no longer remain calm.

He printed out the contents of the email, grabbed the file as quickly as possible, and ran to Qin Chao's office.

He had just rushed into the office when he held up the documents and shouted:

"Secretary, Lin Yi just sent a text message asking if there's any space in the city where he can build a satellite control center and data station. These two things will require a lot of electricity."

"If the city can't solve it, he'll go to other places and find a place to build these two things."

After a few words, Qin Chao's smile vanished. He grabbed the documents Xiao He handed him as quickly as possible, spent about ten minutes reviewing them, and then slapped them down with his hand.
"The meat must be thoroughly cooked in the pot!"

"These two things require a lot of electricity and a low electromagnetic interference environment!"

"Then we'll find him a place like that!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao He subtly reminded him:

“That’s an ecological park. Suzhou doesn’t have much green space to begin with. If we were to make a few more cuts to the ecological park at this time, it would be a huge problem.”

"There's trouble!"

Hearing Xiao He's reminder, Qin Chao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry!"

“I’ve seen similar control centers and data stations before; they don’t require much land.”

“We can allocate some land in the park, and then have them plant more trees in the control center and data station.”

"Moreover, both of these things need to be kept secret."

"It's perfect to build it in a place where few people go!"

After pacing around the office twice with his hands behind his back, Qin Chao turned to look at Xiao He:
"Xishan Island has a good geographical environment. Please organize the relevant information."

"Then, under the guise of improving science, education, culture, and health, prepare a report and put together the materials Lin Yi sent you."

"Then, in my name, I will hold a discussion. Before the discussion, you should inform everyone first."

"After the discussion is over, I will submit a report to the province in my own name."

"The fact that a space control center is located in Jiangsu Province is something that everyone can be proud of."

"If you want to visit similar places in the future, you won't have to go all the way to Yanjing."

"I think the provincial leaders will agree to this!"

After hearing Qin Chao's instructions, Xiao He nodded and said, "Then I'll go prepare now!"
