"Solved? Xiao Fang, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, the chief and Mr. Lu were both shocked and showed incredible expressions.

Fang Yu took a deep breath, pulled out a stack of design drawings from his briefcase, and carefully unfolded them on the coffee table.

The yellowed edges of the paper reveal traces of time, and the densely packed engineering calculations and hand-drawn drawings are dazzling.

"This is the result of the hard work of my colleagues and I at the military factory over the past six months."

Fang Yu's voice was firm and confident.

"We have learned from the tunnel construction technology of the Russians and the Americans, combined with my country's actual conditions, and independently developed a complete shield tunneling system."

He pointed to a large circular section on the drawing.

"This is the 'Longgong No. 1' shield machine we designed. It adopts a modular design, and all its main components are domestically produced."

Mr. Lu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but lean closer.

The machine on the drawing looks like a dormant dragon, consisting of key components such as a cutter disc, main drive, and articulation system.

"For the most critical cutterhead cutting system, we innovatively adopted replaceable tools."

Fang Yu talked freely.

“Each tool is made of a special alloy that we developed ourselves, which can effectively cope with different geological conditions.”

The chief put down the cigarette in his hand, his eyes flashing with excitement.

“So, we can really build our own tunnel boring machine?”

Fang Yu nodded: "Not only can it be made, but it has already been made."

"Just last month, the first prototype was assembled at the Shenyang Heavy Machinery Plant and is undergoing final commissioning."

He turned to the next drawing, which was a detailed performance parameter table.

"Its excavation efficiency is about 20% lower than similar foreign products, but its cost is only one-third of imported equipment."

“Most importantly, all the core technologies are in our own hands.”

Mr. Lu carefully examined the blueprints, his brows gradually relaxed. "Where are the maintenance and spare parts?"

“We have established a complete supporting system.”

Fang Yu said proudly.

"From bearings to hydraulic systems to electrical controls, everything is domestically produced. Furthermore, we have trained a professional maintenance team."

He took out another stack of photos, which showed workers busy in the workshop.

"These are our technical backbones. Their average age is less than 30 years old, but they are all technical experts."

The chief picked up a photo and looked at it carefully. He saw that the young workers in the photo were debugging a huge machine with proud smiles on their faces.

"Great!" The chief slammed the table. "With our own tunnel boring machine, we've solved half of the problem of breaking through the mountain!"

Fang Yu smiled and pulled out another blueprint: "Not only shield machines, we have also developed our own bridge-building machine."

The drawing shows a uniquely shaped bridge-building equipment consisting of a main beam, a traveling mechanism and a lifting system.

"This is the 'Julong No. 1' bridge-building machine, which uses a brand-new hydraulic drive system."

Fang Yu explained.

"It can quickly complete bridge construction in complex terrain and is particularly suitable for our national conditions."

He pointed to the details of the drawing and said, "The biggest innovation is the balance system. We borrowed the principles of traditional balance scales and designed a unique counterweight mechanism, which greatly improves the stability and safety of the equipment."

Mr. Lu nodded gently. "It seems that you have indeed put in a lot of effort. How is the test result?"

"The actual bridge test has been completed on the Songhua River."

Fang Yu said excitedly.

"A 30-meter span simply supported beam took less than 48 hours from erection to completion, which is three times faster than traditional construction methods!"

He then produced a thick test report: "All technical indicators met the design requirements, and some even exceeded expectations. Most importantly, the cost of the entire equipment was less than half of imported products."

The chief's eyes lit up. "So, we have no technical problems in building a nationwide railway network?"

"Yes," Fang Yu said firmly. "We not only have our own shield machine and bridge-building machine, but we've also formed a dedicated construction team. As long as the funds are in place, we can complete the first phase of the project within five years."

Mr. Lu stroked his chin thoughtfully. "The funding issue is indeed a difficult one, but now that the technical difficulties have been overcome, other problems can always be solved."

Fang Yu pulled out a detailed costing sheet from his briefcase. "I've done some detailed calculations. If we use our independently developed equipment, the cost of the entire project can be reduced by over 40%."

He pointed to the figures in the table and said: "For example, the Lanzhou-Xinjiang line was originally estimated to cost 100 billion yuan, but now 60 billion yuan is enough."

"Moreover, the equipment is all domestically produced and can be paid for in installments, which greatly reduces financial pressure."

The chief stood up, paced around the room for a few steps, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Xiao Fang, do you think the performance of these devices can be guaranteed?"

Fang Yu answered firmly: "Big Chief, I can guarantee in the name of the project leader. These equipment have undergone rigorous testing and fully meet the construction requirements. And..."

Fang Yu paused and continued to add.

"They are our own children. Even if there are shortcomings, we can continue to improve them."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause of approval broke out in the conference room.

Tears of relief gleamed in the chief's eyes: "Great! We Chinese should have this kind of energy!"

"What difficulties can't be overcome? As long as you have determination and ability, there is nothing you can't accomplish!"

Then the chief stood up, his eyes flashing with relief and excitement.

He strode up to Fang Yu and held the young man's hands tightly with both hands.

"Good! Good!" The chief's voice trembled a little. "It is a blessing for our country and the people that we have talents like you in Dragon Country!"

Mr. Lu also stood up and walked over, the smile on his face warmer than usual.

"Yes, Xiao Fang, even if all your previous contributions are not counted, just relying on your achievements today is enough to make you famous in history!"

The other officials in the room stood up and applauded, thundering through the room. Some had tears in their eyes, while others pounded their chests with fists, their excitement evident.

"Do you know?" The chief patted Fang Yu's shoulder, his voice low and powerful.

"Just yesterday, the comrades in the Engineering Department were still worried about the technical issues of railway construction. Unexpectedly, today you not only proposed the same idea of ​​building a railway, but also gave us a perfect solution!"

"This kind of foresight is truly incredible!"

President Lu took over the conversation and said, "Comrade Fang Yu, your achievement not only solves our current urgent needs, but also opens up a bright avenue for our future industrial development. This contribution will surely go down in history."

Fang Yu was somewhat bewildered by the leaders' affirmation, and a blush appeared on his face. "This is all the result of the organization's training. I just did what I should do."

"No!" The chief waved his hand. "You're too modest. Such groundbreaking achievements would be impossible without extraordinary wisdom and unwavering perseverance."

"Your actions truly live up to the title of 'unparalleled in the nation'..."
