Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

A black car sped along the mountain road.

The car body is boxy, with both the engine compartment and passenger compartment resembling square boxes. The headlights are also square, giving it a muscular and sculpted look.

It looks like an off-road vehicle, but its body is lower than that of a regular off-road vehicle. It doesn't have the common ladder frame structure; instead, it has two long steel beams added to the bottom to strengthen the body's torsional rigidity, creating a semi-monocoque chassis.

It was the first car jointly produced with the West in the 1980s: the Cherokee!

The technology of this vehicle is not advanced, but it is sturdy and durable, making it a favorite among many off-road enthusiasts. Its usage frequency is second only to the 212.

Now, sitting in this car, Qin Chuan looked out the window at the scenery, his thoughts drifting off somewhere.

"Xiao Chuan, are you satisfied with the ride in this car?" Zhao Shuren asked.

"is acceptable."

"Didn't you say yesterday that I could just make a phone call and drive there myself?" Li Yong, who was driving in front, couldn't help but ask.

"Sigh, my car is so nice, it's always being borrowed. Someone borrowed it last night, I feel so bad for my car..." Qin Chuan complained.

It's true. Last night, I drove out to find Li Jianshe's father to help me get a license plate. Li Gang immediately pulled me to the dinner table.

After a few drinks, Qin Chuan said he wanted to get a license plate from Beijing. Li Gang immediately nodded: "No problem, leave the car here, I'll help you get a license plate from Beijing, it's no big deal!"

As a result, the car was left behind.

If Li Gang doesn't take the initiative to return it, he'll feel embarrassed to ask for it back, as it would hurt their relationship!

Therefore, he had no choice but to ask the Yellow River Factory to send a car to pick him up.

"Borrow? That car wouldn't be yours..."

"Old Li, drive carefully." Zhao Shuren quickly stopped him. "Why are you talking nonsense? What if you anger people and they leave?"

Qin Chuan smiled. Considering the 500,000 yuan check the other party had delivered that morning, he decided not to argue with a driver.

The Yellow River Factory used to be located in the suburbs, but with the development of the city, it is now considered part of the city. The factory covers a vast area with countless workshops. The Cherokee drove a long way along the internal roads of the factory before finally stopping at the entrance of one of the workshops.

A group of people came out to greet them.

"Xiao Chuan, come here, let me introduce you. This is Section Chief Yuan from our factory's technical department, and this is Director Pan from our factory's office..."

Zhao Shuren quickly introduced him, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the factory manager and didn't know where the factory manager had gone.

"You're Qin Chuan?" Pan Yunfei's voice wasn't particularly enthusiastic. "Which university did you graduate from? Who was your advisor? Have you ever studied abroad?"

"So what if we're students staying at home? I was invited here to help solve problems, not to apply for a job. Why are you asking so many questions?"

"If you don't have confidence in me, I'll leave now. But I won't refund your wages. Whether I work for an hour or a whole day, the wages will be the same."

Zhao Shuren wore a wry smile. This Qin Chuan still remembered those things he had done. That kid really holds a grudge!

“Director Pan, this matter was arranged by the factory manager. You can just watch from the side,” Yuan Limin said.

Five hundred thousand! And they even gave it to me in advance!

If this kid can come up with a qualified heat treatment process, everything will be great. If he can't, then we'll have to find a way to detain him and get our money back.

No matter what, we can't just kick them out right away!

Qin Chuan's eyes darted around, and then he realized what he meant: "Director Pan, if it weren't for me, would you have sent someone abroad?"

Pan Yunfei was stunned. This kid actually knew what he was thinking?

Just now, Pan Yunfei was indeed thinking that if Qin Chuan hadn't interfered, he could have sent people abroad.

Moreover, my nephew will also have the opportunity to go abroad and see the world. When he comes back, he can at least bring me a German-made TV or refrigerator or something!

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan saw through it?

"What's wrong? Our country's industry is lagging behind. In order to catch up with the world's advanced level, we must send outstanding personnel abroad to study, and we will also invite outstanding foreign engineers to come and guide us."

"Stop rambling, are you even capable? If not, just get on with it..."

"Alright!" Qin Chuan said, "I'll show you today that we Easterners are also smart and wise, and our abilities are no less than those of foreigners! We all have two shoulders and one head, and none of us are inferior to the other!"

"Well said!" Just then, a voice rang out from behind.

Upon hearing that Qin Chuan had arrived, Zhou Guodong came out of his office and rushed over. He happened to overhear Qin Chuan's words, which immediately made him feel favorably towards him.

Since the country opened its doors to the world, many people have been dazzled by the allure of foreign countries.

In their eyes, foreign things are advanced, while their own are backward, and they even feel inferior in front of foreigners.

It's normal to have gaps; we just need to learn and catch up!

We all have two shoulders and one head, so who's better or worse?

Pan Yunfei's face immediately turned red: "Hmph, anyone can shout slogans, but you have to show real skills."

"Really skilled? Director Pan, do you know who invented the carburizing process?"

"The United States started using rotary kilns for gas carburizing in the 1920s, and began using high-temperature carburizing in the 1960s. In the 1970s, domestic companies introduced vacuum carburizing and ion carburizing. Western technology is the most advanced!"

Pan Yunfei was not an engineering major; he worked in the factory office, which was responsible for administrative coordination, and he was a liberal arts student.

However, after arriving at the factory, he has been working hard to learn technical knowledge, and what he is saying now is the result of his homework last night.

Qin Chuan shook his head: "Wrong. We invented the carburizing process. More than two thousand years ago, our ancestors used solid carburizing when they were forging swords. That was more than two thousand years earlier than the West!"

“That’s right!” came the voices of the experienced craftsmen from behind.

Pan Yunfei's face turned even redder: "Can the ancients compare to the moderns?"

"Why not? It's all the same process. Forget it, I won't understand talking to a banana like you. Let's get to work. Is the equipment ready?"

Qin Chuan came empty-handed, since he couldn't bring much equipment with him, whereas the Yellow River Factory had a complete set of equipment.

"It's all in there."

"The carburizing process is very particular, and the quenching after carburizing is even more important. These two steps are carried out continuously, and the slightest mistake will result in substandard product quality."

As Qin Chuan walked, he introduced the furnace to Zhou Guodong and Yuan Limin, until they arrived in front of the gas carburizing furnace.

In front of the furnace were ten newly made steering gear worm gears and other parts.

"Xiao Chuan, shall we begin now?"

"No, this part... is defective!"
