Homo sapiens

Wang Haoran, who has been officially employed in Hongsawady for more than two months, and Mu Ziying.

It has been transferred to the aviation production base in Kachin State.

They and a large number of previous employees are busy maintaining various production lines at the base, or upgrading old production lines.

Looking at the MiG-25 production line from the 1970s, Wang Haoran and several electrical engineers tested a dozen updated servo motors.

He let out a long breath: "Huh... that's enough. Other problems may not be detected until trial production."

Another aircraft manufacturing engineer, Karlovsky, who was recruited from the Principality of Kiev, is one of the technical consultants in charge of this MiG-25 production line.

"King, you did a good job."

Wang Haoran was not too surprised by Carl's Mandarin proficiency, because the senior engineers and management of the entire factory seemed to master their mother tongue, Chinese, English and other languages.

In fact, this is the symbol and benefit of new human employees, but Wang Haoran has not joined it yet, so naturally he does not know the rules inside.

He smiled and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Karl, is it really necessary to produce such old aircraft? I remember that Lucia should have stored a lot of retired MiG-25s. In fact, it is more cost-effective to buy them!"

"Kid! Sometimes money may not solve all problems." Karl smiled and shook his head.

Karl, who is already in his fifties, has long seen through the nature of this world.

Some things can't be taken shortcuts.

Otherwise, the cost of making up lessons in the future may be higher than it is now.

Wang Haoran was still influenced by the free market and thought he could buy everything with money.

Karl patted him on the shoulder: "I will be on a business trip for a while tomorrow. You can lead people to conduct small-scale trial production of some equipment according to the previous plan."

"no problem."

"Then leave it to you."

Karl left the factory and secretly went to Mandalay with several other senior engineers and designers in aircraft manufacturing.

For such senior engineers, Homo sapiens has a complete set of protection and transfer plans within the company. It will not make a big splash, let alone let the engineers buy tickets and fly on their own.

The main reason is that airplanes are too dangerous.

Especially for Boeing aircraft, it is too easy for America to tamper with them.

Therefore, important members of the Homo sapiens company will not use their apparent identities to travel by plane unless they have to.

After secret transfers and disguises, Karl and others appeared in batches at Thonburi International Airport in Siam.

Then take a few Airbus flights to Manila, Luzon.

After some twists and turns.

Carl and others finally arrived at the headquarters base of Feiyu Company.

The company's general manager, Paul, who also serves as the base director, and Chief Technical Executive Officer Bai and others personally took them to visit the base.

Walking inside the base, especially in the assembly workshop, Karl showed a hint of surprise.

Three large propeller planes covered with feathers are being assembled in full swing.

The first prototype produced by Feiyu Company was already on the other side of the island, where there was a large airport for testing.

Some time ago, I took advantage of the cloudy weather to fly several times around the area.

"It's so beautiful, just like An-22." Karl seemed to be recalling that distant scene.

"It is not as good as the An-22 in terms of load capacity and speed." Fang Bai shook his head with a smile.

Karl showed a complicated smile: "At least they are lucky and don't have to become homeless wanderers."

Of course, Fang Bai could hear the loneliness in the other person's words. After all, Carl used to be an engineer at Antonov Company, and he was just a little emotional at this moment.

Paul changed the subject: "Everyone, let's go to the engine shop!"

Karl put away his complicated mood and quickly adjusted his mentality: "I heard that you have recently improved the materials of some parts?"

"Yes." Fang Bai nodded.

After a while, through the small electric vehicle inside the factory, they arrived at the engine workshop located inside the mountain.

The entire workshop is very vast, obviously using new technology and hollowing out a large part of the mountain.

Paul led the way and introduced: "This is the assembly area, and that is the parts storage warehouse. Through this track, you can reach the engine test area on the other side..."

Entering the engine assembly area, Fang Bai pointed at an engine being assembled:

"Although it is an old-fashioned turbojet engine, some core components have been replaced, and with a special biochip and control system, the power of this old heart has increased by at least 37%, while fuel consumption has only increased by 4.3%."

Carl's expression was very serious: "37%? Will the ultra-high pressure deflagrate? Can the cylinder and blades hold up?"

Fang Bai explained excitedly: "Our cylinder uses high manganese molybdenum steel. Even in the case of ultra-high pressure deflagration, its service life is still extended by about 235%. The turbine blades are also in a similar situation. .”

"Is the progress of materials so huge? It's simply incredible." Karl knew the limits of the turbojet engine very well.

"Even if we adopt a backward design, we can still make improvements in materials, thanks to our chairman."

Even if Fang Bai didn't use the hormones and pheromones induced by the biochip in his brain, his admiration for Li Qingye had risen to an almost blind level.

"It turned out to be that person's masterpiece." Although Karl was over the age of fanaticism, he did admire Li Qingye very much.

Even some of Li Qingye's actions seemed to many outsiders to be a collection of extremely evil things.

But Carl, who has personally experienced big troughs, collapses, and long-term chaos, knows very well that the world is sick, and it is already seriously ill.

If he could choose again, Karl would still choose to follow Li Qingye without hesitation. He saw hope in him and the shadow of that loving father.

This is why he was willing to be implanted with a biochip.

In fact, in Karl's view, the moment the biochip was implanted, his life seemed to be reborn from the ashes, and the power of faith filled his body again.

He felt as if he had returned to 30 years ago and became the 26-year-old himself.

Even if this belief is given by technology, Karl is happy with it and even feels that this belief is more pure, full and firm.

At this moment, he can talk about everything without restraint. He has a group of companions whom he can trust unconditionally. He doesn't have to worry about his future life. He is doing his favorite job.

Carl is willing to do whatever it takes, even at the cost of his life, to protect this utopia.

After discussing various technologies with Fang Bai and others, Karl and others also reached an agreement on regular technical exchanges with Feiyu Company on behalf of Qingye Airlines.

As two subsidiaries within the Homo sapiens company, they appear to be competing, but this does not actually affect their cooperation.

Especially in terms of positioning, Feiyu currently focuses on drones and large transport aircraft; while Qingye Aviation focuses on fighter jets and launch vehicles.

In fact, division of labor and cooperation avoid duplication of research and development and waste of precious scientific research power.

Through this exchange, Karl and others already had an idea in mind, and they also understood the reason why Li Qingye named him to purchase the MiG-25 production line.
