The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

As the driver's hatch was opened.

After the personnel entered, the seat rose up, leaving only the head exposed.

The Norinco 8-cylinder air-cooled turbocharged diesel engine behind the driver's right started, and the 260-horsepower engine began to roar instantly.

Sitting in the open car trunk, Li Feng could clearly feel the vibration and roar coming from the engine position in the middle of the car body.

"In winter, the two seats at the front are fine because the engine can still keep you warm. But the two seats at the back are freezing. In summer, it's not bad because it can keep you cool!"

As the large iron door of the modification workshop opened, the temperature in the rear cabin began to drop noticeably. Li Feng took off his gloves and tightly grasped the armrest inside the car, while commenting to Li Xuewen.

"There are three positions at the front of the vehicle, including the driver, commander, and observer. If we organize the team into five-person teams according to the number of people in the truck gun, the two extra positions at the back are spare and can also be used to store supplies~!"

As Li Xuewen finished speaking, the driver in the front of the car shifted into reverse gear. The two people in the back of the car clearly felt the armored vehicle shake violently, and then it fell towards the open door.

“Down, down~!”

The workers on both sides directed the reversing, and then they saw the upper half of Director Li's body emerging from the rear cabin.

This was the first time in Li Feng's two lifetimes that he had ridden in an armored vehicle. He had never ridden in this armored vehicle since it was delivered. Now it had been converted into a convertible. Apart from anything else, the view from the rear was definitely wide when he stood up.

"Boom~!"

The engine continued to roar, and billowing green smoke came out from the right side of the car body. The completed self-propelled howitzer drove out of the modification workshop where it was born for the first time and was displayed in public.

Technically, it is not difficult. At least there is no need to consider factors related to the chassis. Unlike truck-mounted guns, there is no need to use hydraulic rods and hydraulic spades to deal with the recoil when the artillery is fired.

The elbow-wide tracks increase the grip, and the four pairs of road wheels jointly bear the overall bearing capacity. Li Feng, who is holding the gun barrel, wishes he could fire a shot right now to test this guy's combat capability.

"Crunch, crunch~!"

The armored vehicle poured out from the workshop, its tracks rolling over the ground, one driving wheel moving forward and the other driving wheel moving backward, and it turned on the spot directly in front of the workshop gate.

Wow, Director Li had only seen a million-dollar luxury car from BYD in his previous life, and had never experienced such luxury that astonished foreigners.

Of course, excavators don't count.

"Stop for a moment, anyone who wants to get on, come on, drive around the factory~!"

Li Feng waved his arms towards the bottom of the car. How could two people enjoy the feeling of driving a million-dollar luxury car? Wearing pairs of green rubber shoes, they stepped on the tracks on both sides and climbed to the roof in front, or followed the rear door of the cabin and got into the car.

"Go, slow down~!"

Seeing that there was almost no more space, Li Feng shouted to the driver in front.

"Wow~!"

The Red Star Factory saw a scene that had not been seen in decades. As the vehicle tracks rolled over the ground, the self-propelled howitzer design and development team, this makeshift team, appeared in the factory so hastily.

The people on the roof didn't feel cold either, they just bared their mouths and let the cold wind pour into them.

Looking at the sides of the road, more and more workers were seen, with their white teeth showing. One hand was holding the barrel of the howitzer to prevent himself from falling off, and the other hand was constantly greeting the workers on the roadside who were either curious or shocked.

"Oh my god, what is this, a tank~!"

"This is so impressive! When did our factory get tanks?"

As the self-propelled howitzer drove into the main road of the factory, more and more employees gathered to watch. They ran out of the workshop one after another to join in the fun, staring with wide eyes at the tracked vehicle passing by.

Most people still can't tell the difference between a tank and an armored vehicle. Especially after a gun barrel is installed on an armored vehicle, most employees think there is a new tank in the factory.

On the main road, more and more people gathered. The experts sitting on the roof of the vehicle were stared at by the people below, and they subconsciously raised their necks. The cannon barrel on the tank was installed by them.

The security department quickly dispatched personnel to maintain order.

Li Daba also came out of the department with a cowhide bag on his waist. When he saw the armored vehicles rumbling through the factory, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

"What the hell is this?"

"Isn't this the armored vehicle that was parked in our warehouse before? It had four wheels, but how come there's a cannon on top now~!"

The ones with the best eyes have to be the Transportation Department. They are interested in all kinds of cars and recognized that this strange creature with a gun barrel was the same one in the tire warehouse.

"Comrades...!" "Okay~!"

It is rare to see such a scene. Standing in the back carriage, Li Feng exposed his upper body, looked at the curious crowd on both sides, and waved his right hand reservedly. Before he could put the fork in, Li Xuewen risked his life to stop him.

"It looks like the factory has come up with something new!"

Curious about the new equipment, the workers who had just finished lunch came to watch the excitement. When the armored vehicles passed by, the crowd blocked the road behind the vehicles and subconsciously followed the vehicles forward.

"Secretary Li, is this tank made by our factory?"

The young man who was jogging beside the car also had an excited look on his face. He clenched his hands into a trumpet shape and asked Li Feng in the car while running.

Li Feng turned around and looked over. It was a college student assigned to the second workshop. He couldn't remember his name. Looking at the hopeful eyes, Li Feng in the car nodded vigorously.

"This is a chapter of the new era, the latest wisdom of the Red Star Factory, and the result of collective wisdom of the vast majority of employees. We have lived up to the expectations of the country and the people!"

"From the original steel rolling mill to the current Red Star 787 Factory, we have come step by step, always paying close attention to the preparations for military struggle, developing a new generation of military equipment for our army, and contributing our strength as military workers."

"We are brave enough to take on challenges, not afraid of difficulties or setbacks, and we will work hard to achieve the goals of national defense and strive for the four modernizations!"

The self-propelled howitzer finally stopped in the parking lot of the Transportation Department. Li Feng climbed onto the front of the vehicle, put one fist on his waist and waved the other hand, facing the gathered employees and gave his speech.

Pairs of hopeful eyes turned toward the strange-looking tank, and toward their factory director who was standing on the tank and waving his fist, with a look of admiration on their faces.

I heard that it was made in their own factory. Even if they did not participate in the design and development, as long as they were employees of the Red Star Factory, they all felt a common honor at this moment.

"Comrades, the military industry is a field full of challenges and opportunities. With the progress of the motherland and the development of technology, weapons and equipment are constantly being updated. In order to keep up with the pace of the times and no longer be bullied by the powers, our military factories must shoulder this responsibility and be brave enough to innovate continuously~!"

"The military industry is a glorious and great cause. For the security of the country and the happiness of the people, we military workers are willing to make silent contributions and even sacrifice our lives. We must carry forward this spirit of dedication, be responsible for our products, and be responsible for the country and the people~!"

Li Feng's deafening voice echoed in the parking lot and in the ears of the employees who had gathered together. The scene was completely silent, but the collective spirit was once again raised by him.

The energy that had been pent up in the Qin Huairu incident was finally released.

They really needed this good news. At the end of last year, the unit's merit and award evaluation was cancelled, and the skill level examination was cancelled.

Although no one mentioned it, everyone knew that it was because there was a spy in the factory and he was too embarrassed to give himself an award.

It's not just an honor, but if you tell others about it, even you will feel ashamed.

But now, before the official work started, the factory has developed new equipment. This is not just equipment; it is the backbone that the factory lost last year.

If this were a steel rolling mill, the lost reputation would be impossible to regain, but now it is a military factory, and no matter what the factory director does, once the new equipment comes out, the morale will be back.

"Here, I would like to thank the technical team of our final assembly workshop. Without them, this self-propelled howitzer would not have been born. Yes, this equipment is not a tank, but a self-propelled howitzer developed by our factory!"

"We must keep it confidential. It's OK for our own employees and the higher authorities to know about it, but we must not let outsiders know about it. We must learn from last year's lesson!"

"Finally, comrades, you are the best~!"

While praising the technical team, Li Feng also reminded everyone that to boost morale, special methods must be used.

This thing can't be loaded onto a truck, and when it's towed out, the long barrel is very noticeable.

When going outside for artillery testing, the employees will discover it sooner or later. In order to ensure the smooth progress of this year's work, Li Feng doesn't mind and shows it to everyone.

"Oh~~!"

"What are you doing? Let me down, let me down~!"

Director Li, who was about to flip over from the front of the car, did not expect that the crowd that crowded over would enthusiastically grab his arms and legs and lift him up with all their might.

Then, with the collective power, they were thrown into the sky, up... down... up... down.

Like Director Li, the employees also threw their hats into the sky excitedly.

They loved this factory manager so much and he constantly moved them to tears.

"Secretary Li, there's a phone call. There's a phone call for you~!" (End of this chapter)
