Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 55, are you kidding me?!
Sun Yu hurriedly jumped onto the truck, let out a low roar, barely managing to vent some of his excitement and suppress his feelings of exhilaration.

He took out a device that looked like a mobile phone, with the words "Tianji" written on the back, and hurriedly said, "Reporting to Tianji, I have retrieved the goods."

Unseen by him, a radio wave emanated from the device, connecting to a nearby signal base station. After undergoing a series of processing steps, it instantly traversed thousands of kilometers to reach a massive underground base.

Information from this "Tianji" terminal is merged with information from millions of Tianji terminals located elsewhere, and then enters the computing module of the Tianji server.

The surging power from the supporting nuclear power plant supports the operation of tens of thousands of high-performance chips. As a result, the countless pieces of information that are rushing in at this moment are processed in an orderly manner, and then distributed one by one through the data channel, and returned to millions of Tianji terminals.

Inside the truck cab, Sun Yu's voice had barely faded when a synthesized mechanical voice announced: "Mission updated. Now, please deliver the corresponding goods to the following address within 7 hours..."

Through the driver's side window, Sun Yu saw that Zhao Youguang had been helped to the rest room, with a doctor following behind him, and only then did he feel completely relieved.

"Uncle Zhao must be over sixty years old, right? He worked non-stop for more than 20 hours straight to get this batch of goods out. He's really amazing..."

He thought of many people, not only Zhao Youguang from before, but also many other strangers he had met.

He had a strange feeling.

It's like being in an extremely large group where you don't know most of the people, but you can clearly know that everyone in the group is striving for the same goal as you.

You can rely on everyone in this group. And everyone in this group can rely on themselves.

His gaze toward the road ahead grew increasingly resolute.

The car sped along and, after 6 hours and 45 minutes, stopped in front of a factory.

The factory area was unusually busy. He saw one worker after another constantly moving back and forth, and one truck after another coming in and leaving.

He grabbed the Heavenly Secrets Terminal, said, "Reporting to Heavenly Secrets, I have arrived at my destination," and then jumped down.

A person also carrying a celestial terminal came forward to greet them.

"Comrade, these are the goods I'm transporting."

The staff member took the small dust bag, checked the various markings, nodded, and touched his terminal to Sun Yu's terminal.

A voice immediately came from the staff's terminal: "Please take him to inspection room 46 for inspection."

A command came from Sun Yu's terminal: "You now have 8 hours of rest time."

Sun Yu put away his terminal and, instead of rushing to rest, followed the staff member with some curiosity: "This bag of wire was produced by a master craftsman who spent more than 20 hours producing it. It's absolutely reliable. We still need to check it again here."

"Correct."

"Um...can I take a look?"

"can."

The staff walked quickly, and Sun Yu followed closely, eventually being stopped in front of a glass panel.

The inspection room was already piled with a lot of wires, all of the same specifications and sizes as the ones I had sent, and even the colors and coatings were exactly the same.

"Do we need so much cable?"

Sun Yu was a little curious, so he continued to look and saw an inspector wearing a full-body dustproof suit pick up a bundle of wire, check it in the inspection box, look at the data, and then say directly: "Qualified, score 86."

"There's a rating system for this?"

He grew increasingly curious: "I wonder what Uncle Zhao's rating will be?"

One cable after another was inspected and received varying scores. Finally, it was time for the one I was supposed to deliver.

"Pass, score 85."

"As expected of Uncle Zhao, he is indeed amazing. Although it is not the highest, it is not low either."

Sun Yu couldn't help but sigh.

After all the cables had been inspected, the staff member carefully packed up the cable with the highest score of 89 points and sent it away through the internal passage.

Another staff member roughly swept the remaining dozens of cables into a cart as if sweeping up garbage, and pushed it out, making Sun Yu's eyelids twitch.

"Comrade, what should we do with these cables?"

The staff member glanced at him and said, "Just throw it away, what else can we do with it?"

This time, Sun Yu's eyelids weren't just twitching; his veins were throbbing.

"Throw it away? Just throw it away like that? Do you even know how this batch of wire was produced!"

He suppressed his anger: "A master craftsman in his sixties, who had already retired, was invited back to oversee the final process and worked for more than 20 hours to produce the product!"

He was so exhausted after giving birth that everyone thought he had died from exhaustion!

For the national mission, the master craftsmen risked their lives. The entire factory, from the factory manager to the workers, was working tirelessly to produce these wires. And you just glanced at them and then wanted to throw them away?

Are you kidding me?! Is this how you treat our hard work?!

The staff remained silent, letting Sun Yu chatter in their ears.

Upon arriving at the entrance of a warehouse, the staff opened the door and pointed inside.

Sun Yu was stunned.

He saw that almost identical wires were piled up on the floor like garbage in the warehouse.

Besides these wires, there are also fasteners, pipes, steel poles, and countless other parts piled up there.

"Which of these parts wasn't produced by the manufacturer mobilizing all its resources, concentrating all its best personnel, and sparing no expense?"
However, we will only select those with the best overall performance indicators to participate in subsequent production.

He looked at Sun Yu and said coldly, "Do you know what our factory needs these parts for? To make distributors."

Our factory also has all workers on duty, producing at all costs.

Do you know how many factories across the country produce the same product as ours?

More than 400 in total.

A flow divider is a component of a hydraulic module. Do you know how many of the flow dividers produced by these 400+ factories are ultimately used for integration into hydraulic modules?

Meeting Sun Yu's somewhat stunned gaze, he calmly said, "There are fewer than 20."

In other words, the highest quality products that our factory's 2000+ workers produce at any cost... ultimately have a 95% chance of being thrown away like garbage, just like these parts.

He pointed to the discarded cables in the warehouse: "Selecting the best of the best, with strict quality control at every level—do you think that's just empty talk?"
