Chapter 109 Delivery

Yan Hang led the people directly to the leaders of Hongdu, where Gu Changkong and Ahmed had a cordial conversation.

As he spoke, Ahmed's attention was drawn to the numerous aircraft behind the group.

Fifty airplanes parked together would be a spectacular sight.

It's only because the venue is big enough that we can set it up properly.

"Gu, is that our plane over there? Can I take a closer look?"

After chatting for a while, Ahmed couldn't help but ask Gu Changkong a question.

Gu Changkong understood that foreigners were sometimes quite straightforward and had no concept of subtlety whatsoever.

Since they've already asked, let's take some people to check it out; we'll have to inspect it sooner or later anyway.

"Prince Ahmed, please, let's go and take a look together."

You can also ask the person who came with you to go together; that would also complete the acceptance process.

Ahmed nodded in agreement; this was a win-win situation.

He readily agreed, saying that this way they wouldn't need to set aside time for inspection later.

More than a hundred people in white robes walked towards the fifty airplanes, standing next to the reception staff of Hongdu Factory.

These people in white robes are all camel pilots, and they have certain qualifications to inspect aircraft.

Fifty aircraft were inspected one at a time, with two camels inspecting each one. Soon, all the aircraft on the field had been inspected.

Ahmed then picked up one of the planes, went up, and inspected its interior.

He was indeed quite satisfied; Hongdu did not lower its quality control standards for the aircraft simply because it was mass-produced.

Furthermore, even the interior decoration of the aircraft is carried out in strict accordance with standards.

In short, Ahmed was very satisfied. He firmly believed that the return of these fifty planes to Camel would have a huge impact on Camel.

The handover ceremony was very simple; it just involved signing a document on site.

The white-robed individuals who accompanied Ahmed were placed near the Hongdu test flight field.

Furthermore, Hongdu specifically requested five pilots from the military to train the white-robed soldiers on how to fly this type of aircraft.

These five pilots arrived two weeks ago and are already familiar with the airship's time-sharing system, making them more than qualified to serve as instructors.

While they were dealing with a series of things related to the aircraft, Li Zhenhua was fiddling with a track in the workshop.

This was a track that was thirty centimeters wide, which he then attached to a triangular track assembly.

This device is similar to the rear wheel of a snowmobile, except that the rear wheel is replaced with tracks.

Once the tracks are attached, a complete snowmobile is manufactured.

This snowmobile uses a dual-track design on the rear wheel, instead of a single-track design.

Dual tracks offer better stability and traction, enabling them to traverse the complex Antarctic ice surface more effectively.

The front of the vehicle, like that of a regular snowmobile, also uses a design with two thin skis.

This reduces friction between the motorcycle and the snow, allowing the motorcycle to travel faster.

This motorcycle is equipped with a 7-cylinder 700cc engine, and the engine's liquid cooling system has been removed.

This is to prevent the coolant from freezing in extremely cold temperatures, even if there is a coolant specifically designed for sub-zero temperatures.

It would be better to not have it at all, to avoid problems and repairs after arriving in Antarctica.

In the working environment of Antarctica, the engine cooling system is practically useless.

He even installed a small device in the car, which was basically a small heater, a thoughtful design choice.

The engine heat is used to provide seat heating for the driver and passengers.

This feature is a unique design of his; I just don't know if anyone before him had added something similar.

They also added external accessories to this snowmobile.

It consists of an acrylic windshield and a carbon fiber frame.

It's perfectly fine to have the driver and passengers inside when traveling, but you can remove it if you find it in the way.

In a car with sufficient power, adding a few kilograms of weight is nothing.

Furthermore, the battery of this snowmobile has been upgraded, and a high-power generator has also been selected.

This was because he considered that if an emergency occurred outside, there wouldn't be a power outage.

It's fair to say that he really put his heart into the design of this snowmobile.

This is his way of doing his part for the scientific expedition team; he can't help with anything else.

As for the snowmobile placed next to this one, it has a completely different design concept from the previous one.

This is a single-person snowmobile, without any complicated modifications.

It's just like a regular motorcycle, except that the wheels of this snowmobile have been replaced with tracks.

In addition, auxiliary wheels were installed on both sides of the motorcycle's rear wheel to prevent crashes.

This is a direct modification of the White Tiger 7-700ccjx, and it is also a dual-wheel drive system.

It has better maneuverability and is faster than the previous model.

Furthermore, the accessories on this motorcycle are the same as those on the White Tiger 7, and this motorcycle is available on the market.

You can also convert it into a snowmobile by purchasing a snow kit.

It's essentially a package deal launched to the market; to put it bluntly, it's designed specifically to make money.

He's been busy with snowmobiles lately; the aero-engine production line he built for his own family was already finished a long time ago.

However, the equipment is still with Li Yun, who is currently debugging the control program she wrote.

This program doesn't need to start from scratch; there's a lot of code from previous production lines that can be slightly modified to run on the new production line.

With the tracks installed, the two snowmobiles were ready.

Through his tireless efforts, without taking a break during this period, he finally got everything done.

Aircraft engine production lines, snowmobile design and manufacturing.

Both tasks required him to act quickly, leaving him feeling overwhelmed.

Fortunately, it was finally done in the end, and this time won't cause any major delays.

"That night you didn't reject me, that night I hurt you, that night..."

His phone rang. He had been pleased that he had resolved both issues.

The ringing of the cell phone interrupted me!

He listened to the song with some disdain; the ringtone was set for him by Li Yun.

I've been setting this type of ringtone for him lately, I don't know what's gotten into me.

I picked up the phone, looked at the caller ID, and saw that it was Yan Hang calling.

"Hey? Grandpa! What made you suddenly decide to call me!"

They were already quite familiar with Yan Hang, and their relationship was that of friends despite their age difference. Yan Hang admired him, and he also respected the old man.

"Zhenhua, just letting you know that people from Camel's side came today. Ahmed brought them."

There were over a hundred people; it was like flying a plane at the start of the school term.

Moreover, we recently completed the production of fifty aircraft.

Ahmed came here to receive these aircraft.

He spoke with great joy, his words revealing his excitement.

This is the first batch of business jets delivered by Hongdu. After the first batch, there will be a second batch.

Moreover, recently, North America has received orders for more than sixty aircraft.

This also filled Yan Hang and his team with enthusiasm, and it also shows that their aircraft was not just a flash in the pan.

Rather, it's the market that has recognized their business jets; an aircraft that has been tested by the market has a very long sales lifespan.

Putting everything else aside, this one business jet alone could provide for Hongdu for ten, even twenty years.

With the previous achievements as a foundation, we can make some minor improvements or upgrades to this aircraft later.

Their business jet operations are thriving, and they're making a good living off it.

"That's great news! Congratulations!"

"Grandpa, you've really struck it rich this time! Don't forget us if anything good happens in the future!"

He immediately offered his congratulations, making sure to include himself in the conversation.

"Haha, I'll never forget you all. Don't just congratulate me, you should congratulate yourself too."

Don't forget that the export of these aircraft also means that your engines have been exported.

We share in your joy!

After he finished speaking, he paused, as if he had taken a sip of water, before listening to the old man opposite him continue.

Our company's new production line is installed and will be starting production soon.

If your engine production can't keep up with the supply, it will cause serious problems!

Yan Hang said this because he could only say he was fortunate that he had already set up the new production line.

It seems I need to speed things up on my end too; I'll have to urge Liu Xiaodong on.

Tell him to set up a simple prefabricated house first, get the production line up, and then we'll talk about production later.

As for the factory building, once it's repaired, we can move in then.

"Sir, don't worry, our new production line is already built. Engine production will definitely not delay your operations. Rest assured!"

He made a promise to Yan Hang on the other end of the phone.

"You've misunderstood. I'm not here to rush you."

I'm just giving you a heads-up; it's good that you're prepared!

He knew, of course, that the old man wasn't there to urge him, but rather to offer a reminder out of appreciation.

But he couldn't just let it go like that. Of course, he also had to explain his own preparations to put the old man at ease.

The two chatted for a while longer, and after hanging up, he called Liu Xiaodong.

Liu Xiaodong is currently at a construction site in Shuzhen, where a 500-mu (approximately 33 hectares) plot of land has been enclosed by a wall.

Many construction workers are busy leveling the land, and on some plots, the steel frame structure of the factory buildings has already been erected.

He was currently with people from the county power bureau and the town's power supply station.

In a small building, electrical workers are installing a transformer.

Once the transformer is installed and the power is connected, his new factory will have achieved the goal of having both power supply and site preparation.

As for the remaining water supply, we'll have to wait until the Water Authority installs the pipes.

When his phone rang, Liu Xiaodong spoke to the leader of the power bureau, walked to the side, and answered the call.

"Hey! What's up? I'm at the construction site, helping the power company install electricity!"

With the power supply in place, our area, except for the water supply, is now complete with basic infrastructure development (water, electricity, road access, and site preparation).

"So fast?" That was his first reaction upon hearing Liu Xiaodong's words.

Then I realized that this should be considered a basic operation of the infrastructure construction maniac.

"Fatty, I just received news from Hongdu that the first batch of fifty planes has already been shipped."

We should hurry up here too, I was thinking...
