Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 148 We are warriors!
"Xiaoguang, your parents will be away from home for the next five days. You must take good care of yourself while you are at home."

There's some rice and instant noodles left for you in the fridge. Just heat them up when you want to eat. Also, don't wander around at night, stay home obediently..."

Sun Xiaoxue patiently gave her son instructions, her face full of worry.

Thirteen-year-old He Xiaoguang stood obediently in front of his parents, looking very well-behaved. However, his eyes were very bright and occasionally revealed a hint of cunning and excitement: "I know, Mom, I will definitely be good."

He Dashu looked at his wife with some impatience and couldn't help but interrupt her: "What do you have to worry about with our Xiao Guang? Are you afraid he'll suffer? It's good that he doesn't bully others."

Xiao Guang, listen to me carefully! You stay home and do your homework obediently, and don't go out, understand? If I hear you hitting anyone again, I'll hang you up and beat you when I get back!

"Okay, Dad, I'll do my homework properly."

"Let's go."

He Dashu pulled his wife along and hurriedly left the house.

Just as I closed the door, I heard a low, excited roar coming from inside the house: "Yay! We're finally free!"

In her anxiety, Sun Xiaoxue was about to open the door again to continue her education, but her husband stopped her.

"Alright, you gave birth to this child, don't you know what kind of temper he has? Talking to him won't do any good, as long as he doesn't go too far, just let him be."

"Let's go, let's hurry to the factory."

Sun Xiaoxue sighed, "I just can't put my mind at ease."

Upon arriving at the underground parking garage, she saw people constantly emerging from the elevators, each hurriedly opening their car doors and speeding away until they disappeared from sight.

She knew that these people were most likely like herself, heading to various factories.

This is a well-known engineer's community, home to countless technical managers, engineers, and scientists from factories, companies, and enterprises.

Including the two of us.

It seems that my factory isn't the only one being requisitioned by the Doomsday Command Center right now...

Once inside the car, Sun Xiaoxue allowed it to automatically drive out of the garage in autopilot mode, finally shifting her attention away from her worries about her son.

"Big Tree, why is the end of the world coming out of nowhere? Can't those aliens just live their own lives? Why do they have to invade us?"

"Hey, who knows? Damn it, who cares why they're doing this? They dare to invade us, let's fight them."

Sun Xiaoxue nodded silently.

The car drove through the crowded streets and finally arrived at the factory area.

The parking lot was already full. People, some familiar and some not, but all knowing they worked at the same factory, hurried towards the production building or the design building.

Sun Xiaoxue went to the logistics support department to await further orders, while He Dashu quickly went to the conference room.

"Old He is here? Hurry up, we've been waiting for you."

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and the floor was littered with cigarette butts, suggesting that the people had been discussing things there for some time.

"What are the specific tasks? How are they arranged?"

Lin Xing pulled out a chair and sat down, then quickly began to introduce the project: "Our factory received a task to produce a batch of Y-shaped steel. After discussions with Engineer Sun, Engineer Liu, and me, we determined that our No. 1 and No. 5 furnaces, after emergency modifications, should still be able to handle the production task."

However, the problem lies in the electrical circuits: the production of Y-shaped steel requires far more electricity than the existing production load. To switch to Y-shaped steel production, the existing power lines must be completely upgraded, increasing the peak capacity from 200MW to 300MW, and this must be completed within three days to allow sufficient time for subsequent production.

He Dashu stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Complete the circuit modification in three days? This..."

Lin Xing said solemnly, "I know this is difficult. But which step, from furnace modification to subsequent refining, isn't difficult?"

He Dashu looked at Engineer Sun and Engineer Liu and saw that their faces were as heavy as his own.

He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took two deep drags, threw it down, and stomped it out forcefully: "What else is there to say? Just work hard and that's it."

But... I can only guarantee I'll work my hardest; whether I can finish the job in the end, I can't guarantee. "You, Old He, talk just like Engineer Sun and Engineer Liu."

Lin Xing shook his head with a wry smile: "Just do your best. If we really can't finish, will the command force me to my death? Will I force you all to your death?"

Several chief engineers exchanged glances: "Then let's get started."

In the CEO's office, orders were issued one after another. The employees who had been waiting there and had no regular production tasks immediately got to work.

Truckloads of raw materials and components were brought in and quickly distributed to various sites, causing the once orderly production workshop to quickly become chaotic.

At this moment, despite the heavy physical and mental labor, not a single person complained or shirked responsibility.

This is a massive war, the purpose of which is to fight for the survival of each and every one of us. And we, at this moment, are the warriors charging forward on behalf of human civilization in this war.

The factory in front of us is the battlefield where we fight the enemy.

Lin Xing stayed at the construction site, his brow furrowed.

Although he wasn't from a technical background and didn't know much about technology, he could still tell that the current progress was somewhat delayed compared to expectations.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, such as encouraging the employees to work harder and go faster, but in the end he sighed and gave up.

He could tell that the employees' speed had been increased to the maximum at this moment.

People are so busy that they don't even have time to drink a sip of water.

We really don't have enough manpower...

"We've done our best. If we really can't finish it, then there's nothing we can do..."

Just then, several buses, followed by several large trucks, suddenly drove in at the factory gate.

This is……

A bus stopped, the door opened, and a familiar figure came into view.

That was Old Zhu, who was also a member of the Iron and Steel Association.

The saying goes, "Those in the same trade are enemies," but now...

"Old Zhu, what brings you here? I'm busy, I don't have time to entertain you."

Old Zhu glared at Lin Xing: "Hey Lin, you don't think I'm here to cause trouble for you, do you? Look, look!"

Lin Xing looked over and saw many familiar figures walking out again.

Engineer Zheng, Engineer Shen, Engineer Yang...

Each engineer was a highly skilled technical expert that Lin Xing had long coveted but could not poach no matter what he tried.

"I heard your factory was requisitioned. I was thinking that with your factory's limited technology and talent pool, you probably couldn't handle this responsibility. If things got delayed, it would be troublesome. And it turns out that's exactly what happened. How long has it been and the renovation is only this far? Tsk tsk tsk."

General Manager Zhu shook his head and sighed, looking disgusted: "Sigh, if it weren't for the support I brought, your factory would have to wait until the next life to complete production."

Lin Xing gritted his teeth in hatred: "You old Zhu, are you here to humiliate me today?"

"Yes, I'm here to make fun of you, and you have to take it. So, tell me, do you want these support items?"

Lin Xing lowered his head, filled with resentment and humiliation, gritting his teeth and forcing out a sound as if it were being squeezed from his throat: "I want it!"

General Zhu waved his hand triumphantly: "Comrades, follow me!"
