Chapter 1079: Peach Blossom Luck

Zhou Qingfeng came lightly, and left lightly again. His return this time is to gather living supplies for the compatriots in Wasteland Africa, mainly low-value goods, such as the "Supreme" series of products, cheap medicines and daily necessities.

The purchase of ordinary goods is very simple. The 'wasteland trade' has been in business for a long time, and the business process is extremely proficient. Now there are already tens of thousands of people who directly and indirectly depend on Zhou Qingfeng for food, as long as they give money, they can talk about anything.

On the other hand, Zhou Qingfeng also needs to prepare transportation for the wasteland compatriots. Africa lacks sufficient numbers of cars compared to North America and the Caribbean. And because land transportation is not perfect and unsafe, Zhou Qingfeng is still planning to use air transportation.

Don’t even think about large transport planes and passenger planes, you still have to go back to the broken planes like the ‘Yun Wu’. Zhou Qingfeng has successively transported more than 2,000 "Yun-5" to the wasteland. This kind of aircraft is easy to operate and cheap. It is widely used in the mid-distance cross-sea transportation of the Aurora Legion.

However, in Africa, the "Yunwu" that burns aviation kerosene is not suitable. Zhou Qingfeng hoped to change the engine of the 'Yunwu' to an electric motor. After all, the high-energy battery technology in the wasteland has matured, and there are a lot of them scattered all over the place, so they can be used.

More than half a year ago, 'Wasteland Trading' contacted a company called 'Eastern Airlines Maintenance' to provide modification services for 'Yun Wu'. In the past few months, "Eastern Airlines Maintenance" has rapidly expanded from more than 20 people to more than 3,000 people, and has become a multinational company.

Lao Fan is an employee of "Eastern Airlines Maintenance". He was in his forties and had worked in a machine repair factory in Northeast China for half his life. Because of the poor economy and the poor efficiency of the factory, he was almost fifty and ended up alone and destitute.

Because of his first-hand repair and refit skills, Lao Fan applied for the "Eastern Airlines Maintenance" and was sent to Ulyanovsk where Mao Xiong's family lived. There is an open-air aircraft cemetery in this icy and snowy remote place, where tens of thousands of dilapidated aircraft have been parked quietly for decades.

The old 'Yun-5' and 'An-2' collected from Eastern Europe and Russia all gathered in this 'cemetery'. When he first arrived here, in front of Lao Fan was a dilapidated so-called aviation museum, but as long as he paid a little money, they would dismantle the old planes in the museum.

There are only a dozen or so people who came from China with Lao Fan, but "Eastern Airlines Maintenance" is now rich. With a wave of his hand, he rented an abandoned factory in the local area as a maintenance workshop, and hired five or six hundred people to dry disassemble and refit the machine. live.

"Fan, don't you like Saneva? Or I'll introduce you to other girls, who do you like?" A furry uncle in his fifties and sixties walked into the maintenance workshop, his body covered in snow in a thick winter coat. He didn't come in to work directly, but ran to Lao Fan with a playful smile.

The local employees of "Eastern Airlines Maintenance" are also a bit older. Young people with hairy bears would rather hang out all day than do heavy and clumsy work, and their economy is not a bit worse than that of flower growers.

There is a joke that says that if you see that the shops are closed, the streets are deserted, and the society is depressed that day in China, it must be the Chinese New Year. So many places in Russia are celebrating the New Year every day.

Lao Fan's subordinates are all uncles and aunts who used to be state-owned factories. Their work ability is not bad, and they are also warm to others, but occasionally they don't do their jobs properly. For example, as Lao Fan's deputy, the bear uncle, his favorite thing to do is to pimp Lao Fan and introduce women every day.

It's fine for Uncle Mao Xiong to introduce women, but the ones he introduces are all young girls in their twenties, and Lao Fan is very overwhelmed by these exotic girls.

For example, Saneva just mentioned is in her twenties, the same age, beautiful and in good shape. She was married and divorced, and lived alone with a blond girl. Now she is an engineer under Lao Fan.

"Fan, this is the modification design of the 'An-2' electric drive."

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. When Uncle Mao Xiong was talking about Saneva to Lao Fan, this beautiful Russian woman appeared holding a computer.

Zhou Qingfeng wants to change the piston engine of 'An-2' into an electric motor,

But no one in the country will do the design work for this modification for him. When it came to Mao Xiong, he found Shaneva, who came from the Russian Central Institute of Aerodynamics and Fluid Dynamics, to do the job.

Saneva has little work experience at a young age, but in order to have a job, she also bit the bullet and took over the design task of the transformation.

The Russian woman was wearing a baggy blue jumpsuit, and the ugly clothes had a different kind of temptation on her. With pale golden hair, a curvy figure, and a delicate and beautiful face, no matter how you look at it, she is a big beauty.

"I don't understand aircraft design." Lao Fan spoke awkward Russian, feeling a little at a loss every time he faced Saneva. He has also been married and divorced, and his children are all in their teens, but he was his mother. To be honest, he never thought he could have anything to do with such a young girl.

"I have already done calculations, and I can use a 500-horsepower electric motor to replace the original 700-horsepower piston engine. The shape of the aircraft remains the same, and the motor can also use old goods in stock. There will be no problem with the design itself, but what can we use? powered by?"

When it comes to work, Lao Fan is at least natural. But he couldn't answer Shaneva's question, "We use cables to power the ground test, and the test flight will use batteries."

"But the specifications you gave indicate that the battery weighs only 0.5 tons. Can you provide a battery with such a high energy density?"

"Maybe there are already better batteries in China."

The two chatted with the computer about the modification of the aircraft, and Saneva suddenly asked, "Fan, do you hate me?"

"No."

"I'm not pretty?"

"Of course not, you are beautiful."

"Then why didn't you say yes to my date? You embarrassed me by making me wait at the coffee shop in town last night."

Faced with the young woman's bold questioning, Lao Fan became nervous again. He hawed and hawed for a long time, and found that the bear uncles and aunts in the maintenance workshop had already pricked up their ears to listen.

The soul of gossip is everywhere!

After hesitating for a while, Lao Fan decided to open up and speak clearly. After organizing his words, he said: "Dear Saneva, it's not that I don't like you. But I'm not a successful man, I can even be called an extremely failure. I don't think the two of us are suitable."

He opened his mouth in a self-deprecating manner, but Lao Fan relaxed instead. He said with a bitter smile: "I belong to the men who were eliminated. I messed up my life because I couldn't make money. Even my children look down on me. I have no advantages."

"But you don't drink too much, and that's a plus."

"Actually, it's because I don't drink well, and I have stomach problems."

"You have a good temper, which is also an advantage."

"Hehe... Others say that my temper is too listless."

"You don't know how to beat your wife, do you?"

"Of course not, how can a man beat his wife!"

"You are still very hardworking and serious about your work, and your current income is also good. You are in good health, and I think you are quite healthy. These are all advantages in my opinion."

Faced with Shaneva's praise, Lao Fan couldn't help but shine brightly while being stunned. In the past, no one told Lao Fan that these qualities were his advantages, and the long-lost self-confidence and self-esteem emerged in him again.

"You..., why did you fall in love with me? I mean you are so beautiful, and you have received a higher education. And I am twenty years older than you, and my abilities are average,..." Lao Fan's courage and confidence only It popped up for a few seconds and then shrank back.

And Shaneva also smiled bitterly: "We haven't had a company that provides hundreds of jobs at one time for many years. The money given by your company makes everyone very happy. And please forgive my philistine, if I say I can't find a better choice than you, what do you think?"

The words were so miserable that both men and women heaved a long sigh. But this is the fact that Mao Xiong's economy is single now, supported entirely by oil exports, and the country is in depression, which is worse than the Northeast where the florists live.

The hairy man is also very desperate, committing all kinds of crimes and abandoning himself a lot. So the burden of all kinds of life often falls on the bear woman.

"Don't think of me too special, I'm just an ordinary woman. If you want, I will go to the coffee shop I made an appointment with yesterday tonight." Saneva finally bowed her head a little shyly after speaking, hurriedly turned around and ran away.

Lao Fan stood there in a daze for a long time, a scorching flame burning in his heart, which made his brain highly excited—could it be that man, I have a second life after leaving the country? How could such a beautiful girl fall in love with me?

Uncle Bear, who had just left, ran back again, pushed Lao Fan's shoulder, and said, "Why are you still here? Go if you like!"

"Kesaneva said it will be tonight." Old Fan was still in a daze.

Uncle Mao Xiong was going to be furious, "The girls are so proactive, can't you take the initiative like a real man? As long as you want, now is the night."

"Oh..., oh..." Lao Fan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly chased him out, he thought in his heart happily: This is my luck!
