A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

afraid?

Jiang Xia, who spoke without thinking, was given a hard spanking by the old company commander. "Old soldier, is the word 'fear' even in your dictionary?"

After hastily filling his stomach, Jiang Xia, clutching his throbbing buttocks, slunk off to the confidential room.

I looked up the latest issue of "Internal Reference".

No wonder the old company commander trained himself like that.

The Lobster Soldiers really did start deploying "nuclear bombs" on that newly added slope, a total of 48.

"China's economy has been severely damaged, and its survival and production recovery depend heavily on imported goods. Hong Kong is China's southern gateway to the world."

"We still have hope of rebuilding the empire's glory, and that is Hong Kong, nestled in the Asian continent!"

The internal reference published a speech by a member of parliament who was a member of the Lobster Army.

During this period, the Lobster Kingdom suffered a complete defeat in the protracted canal dispute, and the battle in the north further crushed the Lobster Army.

Before China had even clearly conveyed its intention to "reclaim Hong Kong," they themselves were already afraid.

"So they resort to blackmail because they're scared? That's really their 'gentlemanly' style..."

The little brat spat disdainfully.

However, Motherland is really having a tough time these days. After the Lobster Soldiers finished extorting money, it's time for the old Big Brother to do it, and then the Bald Eagle will be next.

Gan!

If I can't help with the apple tree, what else can I do?

Of course, you should do what you're good at!

Excavators and the like are incredibly useful.

At the very least, the mining progress of open-pit coal mines can be accelerated, which indirectly guarantees the factory's electricity supply.

The reason why Dr. Lan Ying's electronics factory keeps producing defective products is mainly due to insufficient power supply. Monocrystalline silicon fabrication is inherently a major power consumer.

The power sector has tried its best to ensure these factories meet their electricity needs, but unfortunately, the equipment is outdated and the coal supply is insufficient.

It's winter now, and a large portion of coal is being allocated to supplies for people's livelihoods. Factories are well aware of this, but there's nothing they can do; they can't very well allow people to freeze just to produce something, can they?

However, with the excavator, combined with the original "small cannon", the coal production efficiency will definitely be improved!

Make a small change today, take another step forward tomorrow, and we will eventually become strong!

Jiang Xia neatly put the newspapers away, picked up the large teapot, and excitedly headed towards the confidential workshop.

During lunch, he held a meeting with the heads of each group. Upon learning that the three main components had been assembled, everyone decided that good things shouldn't be delayed; they would get this behemoth up and running today!

The lights in the confidential workshop shone brightly~~~

Uh, no, that's not true. To save electricity, they only hung three lights in the assembly area of ​​the huge workshop, but the wattage is quite high, enough to make it easy to distinguish what parts are on the ground.

"Walking motor installation complete! Hydraulic piping installation complete!"

"Alright! Next is the slewing platform. We'll be mounting the gantry crane. All units, please pay attention to construction safety!" Jiang Xia, with the scanner on, carefully checked the precise connection between the engine output shaft and the drive wheel transmission, and nodded in satisfaction.

It was busy again.

"Slewing bearing, good!"

"Quality inspector begins testing!"

Ma Weihong and Ma Zhendong both took out their tools and busied themselves with the inner and outer rings of the slewing support.

The inner ring of the slewing bearing is firmly fixed to the chassis, while the outer ring is connected to the slewing platform. It is the key joint for enabling the excavator to rotate 360°. If there is any deviation, the slewing platform could spin itself off.

It's like an unlucky fly turning its head down.

"Levelness, good!"

"Unity is key!"

Phew, the hardest hurdle is over.

Next up are the large components such as the hydraulic pump and control valve assembly...

……

"Good morning, comrades. It's a new day, please..."

In the morning, the loudspeaker at the steel rolling mill blared a sweet female voice again. Because workers had complained that the newspapers on the bulletin board were hard to see, the mill's broadcasting room responded to their requests and began broadcasting relevant news during the breaks between shift changes and morning meetings in each workshop.

"That voice is so sweet! It really cheers me up!"

"Her voice is sweet, she must be beautiful too. Hey, have you seen her yet?"

Two young people had just finished their night shift and were munching on steamed buns while discussing something.

"Just hearing the voice is enough, why bother meeting the person? Speaking of meeting people, I'd much rather run into our little Engineer Jiang..."

"Huh? What do you want to do?"

"Hey, isn't it time for the level assessment? I still don't understand the point that Engineer Jiang explained last time, and I'd like to ask him about it again!"

"Oh right, I completely forgot about the assessment." One of them tilted his head and thought for a moment. "I ran into Engineer Jiang yesterday. I saw him heading towards the classified workshop. Why don't we go there and look for him? I also have some questions I'd like to ask!"

"A classified workshop? That doesn't seem like a good idea, does it?"

"It's alright, we'll just wait outside the cordon. Little Jiang is a good worker; he won't ignore us when he sees us!"

The two made up their minds and stood far away outside the yellow line of the confidential workshop, keeping a watchful eye on the area.

“Huff~Huff~Huff~”

A muffled sound suddenly echoed in the classified workshop.

Then, accompanied by a "clattering" sound, two young men emerged from the workshop door, looking at a machine with a long arm raised, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

"pat~"

The steamed buns they were holding fell out of their mouths: "Holy crap~~ What kind of monster is this!"

Perhaps having overheard the young people's discussion, the monster spewed out plumes of black smoke and, with its arm raised, actually made a 360-degree circle.

"Walking mechanism, great!"

"Steering mechanism, good!"

"Let the hands-on practice begin!"

Jiang Xia sat in the driver's seat and started yelling at the top of his lungs.

Unfortunately, the sound of the engine completely drowned out his shouts, while the crowd behind him cheered.

With a "clatter," the tracks left deep marks on the hardened ground as the machine sped towards the stockpile. The crowd followed closely behind, and the increasingly loud cheers attracted the attention of the steel rolling mill workers who were changing shifts.

"Come quick and see! Engineer Jiang and his team have built a tank with hands!"

what?

tank!

It has hands?

The news spread like wildfire, and soon the material yard was bustling with people. Even the veterans in the old soldiers' workshop heard the commotion and came out to see what was going on.

"Hiss~~ Company Commander. We've seen this machine before, haven't we? But this one is even bigger than the ones we saw on the northern battlefield!"

"Hahaha, that's right! Products made in China should be superior to theirs!"

The old company commander looked at the monster before him and compared it to the image in his memory: "It's really much bigger!"

……

"Slew into position, lower the boom, cut in with the bucket, and dig with the bucket full!"

Jiang Xia silently recited the operating instructions he had learned from a video, moved the control lever, and dug hard into the ground.

The boom continued to extend, and the bucket gradually retracted. As the bucket filled with soil, Jiang Xia stopped at the right moment. A large, sloping pit appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Hahaha! Who else!"
