Chapter 278 077 Mechanical Military Factory Enters the Automobile FieldChapter 278 077 Mechanical Military Factory Enters the Automobile Field

Song Xiyun walked into the spacious and bright office with steady steps.

Lin Chenran smiled and walked up to him enthusiastically to greet him.

”Mr. Song, now you are here, please sit here!” Lin Chenran said as he gestured with his hand, guiding Song Xiyun to the comfortable sofa area.

Song Xiyun nodded slightly, followed Lin Chenran to the sofa and sat down.

At this time, assistant Xiao Liang was very smart. He quickly walked in with two cups of steaming hot fragrant tea.

After gently placing the teacup on the coffee table, Xiao Liang quickly picked up the used teacup on the table, then turned and left, not forgetting to carefully close the door.

Song Xiyun picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and felt the warmth flowing down his throat, and he felt much more relaxed.

After a short rest, he said, ”Boss Lin, our factory’s car production line has been built, and the relevant engineering team has also been formed and can start work at any time.”

Upon hearing the news, Lin Chenran’s eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation.

The 077 Mechanical Military Factory is now planning to enter the field of automobile manufacturing.

As Yan country implemented the reform and opening-up policy, the domestic economy has shown an unprecedented vigorous development trend.

As people’s living standards continue to improve, the demand for transportation tools - cars - is increasing day by day.

Whether it is large trucks used for cargo transportation or passenger cars for daily family use, the market demand for various types of vehicles is growing significantly.

Since 1983, a number of joint venture car companies have emerged in China.

The sales of various types of automobiles they produce in the domestic market have soared thanks to their advanced technology.

Faced with such huge business opportunities, the 077 Machinery Military Factory is naturally unwilling to lag behind and hopes to get a share of this vast market.

”Mr. Song, we can’t wait any longer. We have to urge them to take action immediately and devote themselves to the design of the car model!” Lin Chenran looked at Mr. Song anxiously, his eyes revealing decisiveness.

All the preliminary preparations have been completed successfully. If you continue to hesitate and waste time, you will probably miss the opportunity and be preempted by your competitors, resulting in ultimate failure.

As the saying goes, “He who hesitates will be defeated.”

We must act decisively and quickly!
Can successfully get a share of the pie in the extremely competitive automobile market.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared and dare to put them into practice.

As for the core technical issues involved in automobiles.

This is a piece of cake for the famous 077 Mechanical Military Factory!
Various types of advanced weapons and equipment for the navy, army and air force.

From complex and sophisticated fighter jets to powerful tanks and armored vehicles, the 077 Mechanical Military Factory is able to design, develop and manufacture with ease.

What is a mere car?

Take the three most critical parts of a car - the engine, chassis and gearbox.

The 077 Mechanical Arsenal not only possesses complete and mature engine technology, but also can easily meet the performance requirements of different types of vehicles with just a slight modification and adjustment.

As for chassis tuning, that’s a piece of cake!
The Saudis in the Camel Region have always been extremely picky when purchasing weapons and equipment. In addition to requiring weapons to have great power, they also attach great importance to the comfort level during use.

All kinds of equipment produced by the 077 Mechanical Military Factory have achieved the ultimate in terms of both controllability and riding comfort, which has won the Saudi people in the Camel area full of praise and they can’t find any faults at all.

Apply excellent tuning capabilities to the automotive field.

Car comfort?

simple!

Gearbox?

That’s even simpler. Most cars now use manual control, which is not a difficult task for the 077 Mechanical Arsenal.

As for the automatic transmission, the 077 Mechanical Arsenal needs to study it.

But it’s not that difficult.

The three major components of automobile manufacturing are solved!
Song Xiyun nodded: ”No problem, I’ll go down and arrange it.”

”The sedan should be ready in about half a year.”

”As for the big truck, it will take about a month and a half to have the finished product.”

Song Xiyun thought for a moment and gave his approximate time.
Large trucks do not require much technical skills for the 077 Mechanical Military Factory. They have previously helped the Yan State military produce large military trucks.

As for civilian use, it is even simpler.

The front and the carriage!
”Mr. Song, this automobile manufacturing plant is very important to our 077 Mechanical Military Factory.”

Lin Chenran emphasized it again.

As Yan’s economy develops more and more rapidly.

The number of cars owned has exploded like a rocket.

077 Machinery Arsenal will certainly not miss this huge market.

Song Xiyun is well aware that the layout of automobile production and manufacturing is very important for the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

”Chenran, don’t worry, I know.”

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two weeks have passed since the grand Zhuhai Weapons and Equipment Exhibition in Yan State.

During this period, countries around the world continued to talk about and discuss the advanced weapons and equipment displayed at the exhibition.

At this moment, after careful consideration and repeated weighing, the Afghan side finally made an important decision - they decided to place an order for a light aircraft carrier from the 704 Shipyard!
This decision will undoubtedly have a profound impact on Afghanistan’s naval power.

Owning a powerful aircraft carrier is crucial to enhancing the overall strength of a country’s navy.

Algeria has seen this clearly and hopes to enhance its combat capability and strategic deterrence at sea by introducing this light aircraft carrier.

……

When it comes to payment, Aguo expressed his difficulties.

Due to numerous obstacles in domestic economic development and tight financial conditions, Algeria is unable to pay all the funds needed to purchase this light aircraft carrier in one go.

After difficult negotiations and consultations, Argentina finally proposed to bear only 40% of the cost of the light aircraft carrier, and planned to use domestic resources to ”pay off the debt” for the rest.

Although this plan is not perfect, it is a stopgap measure that can be come up with under the current circumstances.

After learning of Aguo’s proposal, Pan Xueming, the head of the 704 Shipyard, did not dare to make a decision on his own and immediately asked Lin Chenran to make the decision.

After learning the details of the situation and giving it some thought, Lin Chenran decisively agreed to Aguo’s request.

For the 704 Shipyard, successfully taking on this order not only means huge profits, but also an excellent opportunity to demonstrate its strength and technical level in the international market.

Having a ”sucker” can give the 704 Shipyard in-house some ”practice”.

Lin Chenran was very happy!
When the aircraft carrier technology has accumulated to a certain stage, when the Yan country military wants to build a large aircraft carrier, the 704 shipyard will be able to take over this task. ”Love and affection”, the 704 shipyard and the A country quickly reached a cooperation.

When the news that the two sides were about to work together to build a light aircraft carrier came out, it was like a blockbuster bomb dropped into a calm lake, instantly causing an uproar at home and abroad.

Major media outlets rushed to report on the incident, the international community paid close attention to it, and various speculations and analyses emerged.

Countries around the world did not expect that after Saudi Arabia in the Camel region, Afghanistan would also reach a cooperation with Yan’s 704 Shipyard.

An order for a light aircraft carrier was placed with the 704 Shipyard.

Is the light aircraft carrier of 704 Shipyard really that good?

A country ”throws itself into the arms” of Yan country?
For a time, there were many different opinions and the atmosphere was very lively.

……

Among them, John Guo had the most intense reaction and the most emotional.

The country openly spoke out through various channels, strongly condemning why Yan State sold the light aircraft carrier to Afghanistan.

They claimed that this move would suddenly intensify the already delicate competitive atmosphere in the entire region several times!
There is no doubt that John’s country must have ulterior motives behind such a big war.

It absolutely does not want to see Argentina’s naval power significantly enhanced, because that would mean a direct threat to its own interests, especially those ”islands” that are regarded as strategic points.

Looking back on the past, there was a thrilling war between Argentina and John, but it ended in a tragic defeat for Argentina - not only were the islands robbed, but the entire country fell into a long-term depression and never recovered.

Now, Argentina is obviously unwilling to remain in such a disadvantageous position, so it decided to go for broke and try to significantly enhance its naval power by purchasing a light aircraft carrier.

The purpose is self-evident, which is to hope to regain the once lost ”island” from John’s country at some point in the future and then avenge the previous shame.

Things are different now. The Kingdom of John is no longer the powerful country that was once known as the ”Empire on which the Sun Never Sets”.

As time goes by and the international situation evolves, it has gradually become a younger brother of the Eagle Sauce, and its military strength has shown obvious signs of decline. Its overall strength has taken a big step back compared to the past.

When the Algerian State placed an order with the Yan State’s 077 Mechanical Arsenal to purchase a light aircraft carrier, the John State could not wait to ”jump out” and make accusations, and even issued severe condemnations and warnings.

After hearing John Guo’s severe condemnation and warning, Lin Chenran smiled disdainfully.

The Kingdom of John is no longer the former ”Empire on which the Sun Never Sets”, and the Kingdom of Yan is no longer the one that can be bullied by others.

Condemn them if you want, it won’t affect the sale of our weapons and equipment.

……

The top officials in the United States: ”A country actually purchased a light aircraft carrier from the 704 shipyard of Yan country! Although the impact of this aircraft carrier on me is minimal, this move will undoubtedly greatly enhance Yan country’s ability to build aircraft carriers. This situation must not be allowed to develop. I must find a way to stop them!”

A senior official in the Russian Federation said: ”I didn’t expect that we could get orders for light aircraft carriers! It seems that we should consider selling light aircraft carriers to increase revenue.”

Previously, Russia cooperated with Yan Country to jointly develop the Arctic route.

Through this cooperation, the Russian bear has gradually recovered, domestic social conflicts have been alleviated to a certain extent, and economic development is no longer stagnant or even regressing as before.

Due to the good trade relations established with Yan Country, the Russian Bear can also easily purchase a variety of high-quality and low-cost light industrial products from Yan Country.

At present, the Russian bear is still facing a serious problem - shortage of funds.

Just then, it suddenly thought of a great opportunity.

Previously, the White Elephant Kingdom had expressed its intention to purchase an aircraft carrier to enhance its naval capabilities.

”In that case, why not cooperate with the White Elephant Nation? This will not only solve the funding problem, but also further expand our share in the international military trade market. Everything is for the White Elephant Navy.”

On the other hand, the Chicken Country jumped out to strongly condemn the Yan Country’s sale of light aircraft carriers to other countries, and claimed that this would bring great instability to the relevant regions and countries.

The idea of ​​the Chicken Kingdom is known to everyone.

They just don’t want Yan Country’s aircraft carrier technology to develop rapidly, which will greatly increase its insecurity.

A powerful ”neighbor” will restrict it in every way.

It is particularly afraid that Yan Country will possess powerful aircraft carriers and come to its waters or territory to beat it up at some point in time.

Han Guo: ”Smecta, we also have aircraft carrier construction technology. Yan Guo’s aircraft carrier technology is stolen from us. Aguo, why are you so blind to choose to place an order with Yan Guo’s 704 Shipyard?”

White Elephant Country: ”Tsk! We also have aircraft carriers. Light aircraft carriers are child’s play. What’s so great about them?”

Camel Region Saudi Arabia: ”Congratulations to the UAE for acquiring the Zvezda light aircraft carrier and contributing to the security and stability of the international community.”

The Yan country official responded domineeringly: ”Afghanistan’s choice is absolutely correct. Our country’s aircraft carrier construction technology is at the world’s leading level, and the performance of the Zvezda light aircraft carrier is in the first echelon.”

”Can the security of the international community be affected by a light aircraft carrier?”

……

Various countries have expressed their attitudes towards Algeria’s order to build a light aircraft carrier for Yan’s 704 Shipyard.

Most countries do not want Afghanistan to purchase aircraft carriers from Yan Guo, which will enhance the latter’s aircraft carrier construction technology.

It will make the world unstable!
But they are helpless, because now A country has reached a cooperation with Yan country’s 704 shipyard.

And the Yan State officials have already warned a number of countries.

Unless all the countries tear their faces apart and fight Yan Country to the end.

A light aircraft carrier does not pose much threat to the world order.

Linjiang Province 077 Machinery Military Factory

At this time, Lin Chenran was holding the phone and answering the call.

On the other side was Mr. Zhang from the Yan Kingdom Navy.

”Your 704 Shipyard has become famous both at home and abroad!”

”I really didn’t expect that your 704 Shipyard would actually reach a cooperation with the A country to build a Star light aircraft carrier for it.”

Mr. Zhang was instantly filled with emotion.

I didn’t expect that the 704 Shipyard developed so well under Lin Chenran’s leadership!
Two Zvezda light aircraft carriers were sold in succession.

”At the Zhuhai Weapons and Equipment Exhibition, Afghanistan directly approached our 704 Shipyard to discuss the possibility of cooperating to build a light aircraft carrier.”

Lin Chenran briefly recounted the process.

At this time, Mr. Zhang envied the Afghan navy.

Even they have aircraft carriers, but the Yan Country Navy does not have any.

The irony is that there are shipyards in the country that have the technology to build aircraft carriers, but now due to funding and other problems, the navy is unable to own an aircraft carrier.
