A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

"Haha, thank you both for waiting. First of all, thank you for bringing me the Jeep to experience. So, how is it? Can this kind of chassis be made?"

Jiang Xia finished his lecture and felt a bit thirsty.

The car factory manager, with keen insight, served tea.

"Yes! We can definitely do it. Let me tell you, we are now your soldiers, ready to fight wherever you point us!"

"Great! Actually, I've looked at the chassis design of your 130 light truck, and it's quite good..."

This isn't just Jiang Xia being flattering. Aside from its exterior design being inspired by Toyota's DYNA light truck, the BJ130 truck was truly built by their factory, hammer blow by hammer blow.

Especially that universal chassis, it wouldn't have been outdated even in the 1980s.

"Look, these are the areas that need improvement. Could you provide a few sample units as soon as possible for final assembly?"

The car factory manager patted his chest and declared, "No problem, I'm willing to swear on my promise! Five days, no, three days, and I can get it done!"

"Really?"

"Fake!"

The chief engineer, who had been hiding in the back, suddenly stood up and, without thinking, kicked his factory manager's big butt.

"Jiang Gong! Don't listen to him!"

"To be honest, we're just a repair shop. The chassis of that 130 light truck was hammered out of shape by us!"

"However, our factory workers are amazing! They're also very determined! They can manage to produce a few chassis in three days, but mass production will be a problem!"

"Our factory manager is setting you up! And that jeep was made by the First Automobile Parts Factory; our factory manager is just using it as a front..."

"Wait a minute..." Jiang Xia's head was a little dizzy. "What, you guys aren't from the same factory that makes Jeeps?"

The factory manager immediately tried to cover the chief engineer's mouth.

The chief engineer quickly put the factory director's hand behind his back and smiled contemptuously: "Don't treat intellectuals like dirt. I was being lenient with you before!"

"Um, Engineer Jiang, shall I continue?"

"Good! Good!"

Jiang Xia watched the chief engineer's nimble movements, her eyes sparkling: Wow, so amazing! I wonder if he can do scissor kicks.

"That's right, the Jeeps were made by 'Sijiucheng No. 1 Automobile Parts Factory,' our real name is 'Sijiucheng Automobile Repair Factory Branch No. 2,' and we actually belong to the Municipal Transportation Bureau..."

"What? Why are there so many twists and turns..."

"So my suggestion to add a door was actually relayed to the First Automobile Parts Factory?"

The little brat was a bit dizzy. He thought all these things were made by the same factory, which was the BAIC Group from later generations.

I never imagined there were so many twists and turns involved!

His suggestion was that since the 210 doesn't have a door, it's inconvenient for rear passengers to get on and off, and he wanted them to make it a four-door version.

Of course, there are also some suggestions for structural optimization, which, in the little guy's opinion, are enough to cover the cost of using the Jeep.

The reason I invited them here was simply to further express my gratitude.

I never expected that it would turn out to be another blunder?

"Then why did you say at the logistics bidding meeting that you were working on the 210 Jeep?"

"Yes! That's not wrong. We helped them build the chassis!"

Okay, you guys really are chassis specialists...

Forget it, forget it. It's a mess. The other company's chief engineer and factory manager have already come in person. It wouldn't be good to change our minds now. Let's just stick to what we have!

"Alright then, tell me, if we were to mass-produce this, what do you think we should do?"

Seeing Jiang Xia's amused smile, the middle-aged chief engineer remained calm, having done his homework.

"We need two punch presses, plus a 500-ton free forging press, and the rest..."

……

Just when our little idiot thought that the chief engineer in front of him really had real talent and ability.

Zhao Bin, the factory director of his first pilot unit, is now a little panicked.

The alarming thing was that the cement boat used as a target ship seemed to be going a little too fast.

"Report! The target ship is currently 42 kilometers away from my launch platform!"

"Expected to break free of my tracking signal in one minute!"

Comrade Jin Guang held up his binoculars, gazing into the distance. The small boat had already disappeared from sight on the horizon, leaving only the red flag atop its tall mast fluttering in the lens.

"Director Zhao, is this engine produced from the blueprints you got from that kid? What are the specific parameters?"

"Uh, I don't know!"

"What?"

"Really! These two units just came out of the factory. Although we did some operational tests, we figured they were destined to be blown up anyway, so we didn't keep detailed records."

"This is the first product we made by increasing the cylinder diameter based on Jiang's suggestion..."

Ugh, another brat. Tsk, I'll have to visit him more often when I get back.

Didn't he say a couple of days ago that he wanted to get more cassette tapes? Hey, this little rascal has so many ideas, did he learn them all from listening to music?

Tell your comrade to buy him more things, like symphonies and Latin tunes!

Looking at the direction of the small boat in the camera's view, even the red flag had disappeared. Comrade Jin Guang leaned against the gunwale, lost in thought, temporarily ignoring the persistent urge to vomit.

"Report! An urgent message from ground control!"

"Read!"

"Our early warning radar has detected a suspicious signal 45 kilometers to the southwest of your ship, indicating two enemy ships. Please be on high alert!"

Ok?

Comrade Jin Guang immediately became serious.

You should know that these cement boats are not far from the shore. The fact that the ground-based early warning radar detected the enemy means that those damned Taiwanese are trying to sneak into the Bohai Sea again.

Hiss la la la~~

The radio next to the control console started emitting harsh static again.

"Command center! Command center! This is the fishing team!"

"Request!!~~~" A sharp cracking sound interrupted the call.

"The fishing squad? They're going to retrieve the replica number one..."

"Hiss, could they have run into an enemy ship?!"

Comrade Jin Guang and Zhao Bin looked at each other in bewilderment.

The fishing brigade sounds impressive, but it's really just a small fishing boat of about 10 tons. Today, just as this fishing boat was about to leave port, Comrade Jin Guang took it away in its entirety.

Well, it's not called borrowing, it should be called renting, and the price is Comrade Jin Guang's half-month allowance. Even if the navy is poor, it won't let fishermen work for free.

"Hiss~~ La~~~"

"Enemy ships are firing on us! They're coming! Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

"boom!!!"

A loud noise came from the somewhat muffled microphone.

"Sizzle~~~~~"

No matter how the soldiers called out, there was only static in the microphone.

Comrade Jin Guang threw his hat down.

"Left step one"

"Navy! Charge!"
