Chapter 618 Chief Engineer Zhou

Factory Building 02, a space as big as a football field, has been completely cleared.

All the old aircrafts that were originally parked here have been cleared.

At the main entrance, the on-site personnel waved batons and directed the aircraft to be towed out.

At the back door, trucks were already transporting the first batch of equipment and materials.

This large factory building has a door as wide as a road, and heavy trucks are slowly moving forward to the designated location.

There are no ordinary drivers inside, but uniformed soldiers, and even some vehicles have armed escort members accompanying them.

Although "Cloud House" has a poetic name, thunder is brewing inside, orderly and vigorous.

There are 125 people in the engineering department and 310 people in the logistics department. Although they have not yet arrived, they are already very powerful.

In the center of the factory, Zhou Rui is wearing a safety helmet and personally leading people to divide the "moving line".

Because it is a prototype, like the early Weilong, it can only adopt the "Hui Zhan mode" instead of the "production line mode", and more than a hundred people are around a behemoth.

The rationality of the moving line is the basis of all efficiency and safety.

Zhou Rui uses the simplest tape to paste the line, which is convenient for change at any time.

"This is the feeding position. All ground vehicles can only reach here at most, and they are connected by personnel or gantry cranes."

"The power line goes this way, and it is fixed with a restraint belt, and don't drive ground nails."

"The scaffolding should be insulated with rubber, not to prevent electric shock, but to prevent bumping materials."

There are more than 20 people behind, all of whom are members of the logistics team of the "Cloud House" plan. Some simple requirements are done on the spot, and complex ones will be recorded in a notebook.

Zhou Rui is the highest person in charge of the project.

Planning, approval, supervision, guidance, control, integration, improvement, evaluation, disposal. Everything in the "Kunpeng Project" needs him to take the lead.

His identity has changed from "expert" to "chief engineer", and the work he undertakes is not just technical issues.

This is a brand new challenge for him.

"Two days, I hope to start the actual work in two days. The logistics department will work in three shifts, and transportation and logistics will not stop. Can we do it?"

The head of the logistics department behind him, Ding Hai, a sturdy man in his forties, nodded and said, "We will try our best to complete it."

Zhou Rui shook his head: "I don't want to try my best. If it can't be completed, tell me where the difficulties are, and I will coordinate. If it can be completed, tell me decisively."

Ding Hai immediately straightened his body: "Guarantee to complete it!"

"Very good, go to work."

Zhou Rui looked back and saw that the "Cloud House" had taken shape, but it was still far from it.

Then he took the factory car and went to the administrative building.

In the past few days, only half of the more than 100 experts who participated in the technical demonstration have left.

The rest of the people, and some members of the "Drawing Room Plan", gathered in the huge conference room, which was set up as the research department in the rear.

The engineering department is really working hard, the logistics department is escorting, and the research department is providing technical support. This is the basic structure of the "Cloud House" plan.

There are other more detailed "communication group", "on-site safety group", "confidentiality group", "emergency group", etc., which have a small number of people, so I won't go into details one by one.

As soon as Zhou Rui entered the door, there was a group of old experts who were waiting for their turn.

"Chief Engineer, do you think this engine hoisting process is suitable? I have discussed it with the "wing body" side, and it should be feasible."

"Chief Engineer, the total number and engineering margin of the internal skeleton such as ribs, trusses, and beams have been checked and completed, please take a look."

"Chief Engineer, my hemorrhoids have healed and I have just returned to work! Please give instructions!"

I thought it would be quiet here, but it seems that I thought too much.

Zhou Rui sat at the long table, reviewing one by one and giving instructions.

Hundreds of people cooperated, even if a few people were counted together, the entire project had hundreds of "thread ends".

These thread ends were connected behind Zhou Rui.

The so-called "a single hair moves the whole body" is nothing more than this.

He worked until seven o'clock in the evening, and then he got a moment of leisure, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes to rest.

"Chief Engineer, the gantry crane over at the 'cloud room' has arrived and is being installed. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Zhou Rui opened his eyes and went to Factory 02 to supervise the progress of the "cloud room".

At one o'clock in the morning, when Zhou Rui came out of the "cloud room" again, it was already time when the insects outside were sparse.

"Golden Breath" continued to operate, and Zhou Rui exhaled a light mist

Outside the gate, Yang Rubin seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Zhou~ Let's go for some midnight snacks together?"

Zhou Rui looked at the time: "Going to the city at this time?"

"Don't leave the factory, I'll take you to a good place."

The two sat in the small convertible in the factory area and headed towards a corner of Factory 919.

The night wind in this season is still a little cool, and Yang Rubin drove very slowly.

The place where the two went was the legendary "Sentinel Canteen".

This is actually not the kind of independent canteen that is only open at night, but a subsidiary building of the canteen of the stationed regiment headquarters.

During the day, it is an officer's restaurant. At night, a few cooks will be assigned to provide extra meals for all night shift guards.

This place can also be called the "late night canteen".

Yang Rubin originally asked the cook to cook two dishes. Zhou Rui took a look at the several bowls, which were all quite tempting, so he just got the food.

The dishes were not rich, but Zhou Rui still filled a plate. He was not a perpetual motion machine. The more he consumed, the more he ate.

Yang Rubin took a sip of the hot soup and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is just the beginning. Don't let your body collapse."

"It's not that I'm depressed, it's just that there are too many chores."

I, Mr. Zhou, dare not say anything else, but my physique has been verified by many young ladies who do not want to be named.

Two people are also multiple people

Yang Rubin said: "Don't the engineering department and the logistics department have corresponding deputies? Are they not easy to use?"

Zhou Rui bit down a third of the big steamed bun and said, "Maybe it's not enough adjustment. In terms of working methods, the connection is not smooth yet."

"By the way, there is one thing. Norinco received a US$270 million order from the United Arab Emirates, and Chengdu sold a group. They were able to absorb half of it themselves, and the other half was distributed to other military industries. enterprise."

Zhou Rui smiled: "Has Khalid swiped his card? The profit margin for a tour of US$270 million is not small!"

Converted into RMB, it almost catches up with the cost of "Kunpeng".

This is the difference between big countries and small countries.

The same is true for money. Due to its technological and talent foundation, the Republic can build "Kunpeng" to circulate funds internally, but Middle Eastern countries can only spend money abroad for "group purchases."

Of course, it has something to do with cheating players.

Yang Rubin laughed: "For foreign trade, naturally the price cannot be the same as the internal price. This is the largest single order in the past two years, and it has also created a new military trade model. They plan to continue to promote it at the next Zhuhai Air Show."

"The person in charge of NORINCO has been saying that he wants to thank Mr. Zhou. I said that you have been busy recently and asked him to talk about it later."

Zhou Rui: "There's no need to thank you. I can't imagine what Norinco can give me."

Yang Rubin said indifferently: "Let them figure it out on their own, haha."

While chatting, Yang Rubin answered a call. Zhou Rui was a little surprised. It was two o'clock in the morning. Could it be an emergency?

After putting down the phone, Yang Rubin looked strange.

"The news from across the Pacific may be stimulated by the restart of the F22 production line. Watching Lockheed Martin enjoy it.

"Northrop Grumman, the manufacturer of the B2, also submitted a project document to develop a new strategic bomber half a month ago as an iterative version of the B2 bomber."

Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, what a coincidence?

Yang Rubin frowned slightly.

"There is no code name. It should be in the PPT stage now, but if they can develop B2, it should be only a matter of time before they have new results."

However, Zhou Rui smiled: "Yes. Everything is a matter of time."

The time difference is too much

It seems that the two projects started at the same time, but in fact they are much different.

He can guarantee that when Kunpeng ascends to heaven, there will still be only one PPT on the other side.

Zhou Rui dipped the steamed bun into the soup on the bottom of the plate, as if he was rubbing against something.
