19: Chapter 19: The God-Level Factory "Rock Solid Foundation" is Complete!

Zhang Lei received the punishment he deserved. Like a gale sweeping away fallen leaves, this person quickly and silently vanished from everyone's sight. As the mastermind behind the entire incident, Chen Fan didn't pay much attention to this matter. Because for the next month, he threw himself wholeheartedly into the construction of the factory.

The main focus was advancing the equipment transformation for the three major workshops. According to the future smart brain's plan, the entire process was quite intricate, primarily involving the assembly of machinery, which required considerable thought. Chen Fan and Wang Defu spent a full half-month scouring several large nearby junkyards before finally collecting all the waste materials the factory needed.

First was the "Thousand Hammers" metallurgy workshop area, located on the 3rd floor, while the other two workshops were on the 2nd floor. The entire "Thousand Hammers" area was partitioned with sturdy barriers and heat-resistant materials.

A scrapped medium-frequency furnace, enhanced through Amplification.

[Triggered 150x material and function Amplification, obtained "High-Efficiency Energy-Saving Smelting Furnace"!]

A faint light flashed, and the dilapidated oil tank instantly transformed into a silver-gray cylindrical furnace. The furnace walls were smooth as a mirror, equipped with intelligent temperature control interfaces. Wang Defu leaned in, knocked on it, and it emitted a dull metallic sound: "This thing is even more impressive than the furnaces at the steel plant!"

Chen Fan then picked up several discarded steel pipes, amplifying them into heat-resistant feeding conduits. Mechanical arms precisely hoisted and installed them. In just three days, the entire layout—including the smelting furnace, ingredient silo, and cooling tank—was completed. The pipe joints fit together perfectly, without even a trace of welding!

Immediately after, they moved on to the "hundred refinements" precision machining area. Three scrapped machine tools in the old warehouse had been waiting for a long time. Chen Fan dug out a pile of discarded computer motherboards and router chips from the scrap heap for intelligent control module implantation.

[Triggered 200x electronic component Amplification, obtained "Industrial-Grade Intelligent Control Chipset"!]

The chipset flickered with a blue light. Chen Fan quickly disassembled the old machine tools using an amplified screwdriver and embedded the chipset inside. The moment he pressed the start button, the machine tools hummed to life. Their rusty casings automatically shed, revealing shiny, intelligent control panels. The display screens flashed a precision prompt of ±.001 mm. The five-axis linkage spindle rotated with flexible grace, smoother than brand-new high-end equipment!

"My god! These old machine tools look so high-tech." Wang Defu reached out to touch one but quickly pulled his hand back, afraid of damaging this "treasure."

Next, they pushed over a rapid prototyping machine discarded by a laboratory: "Turn this into a metal 3D printer!" [Triggered 180x function restructuring, obtained "High-Speed Metal 3D Printer"!] The prototyping machine instantly transformed, its nozzle auto-calibrating. They poured in alloy powder, input a robotic arm joint model, and in a "swish-swish-swish" half-hour, printed out a gleaming, cold-light part with hardness comparable to diamond!

Finally, they set up the "Wanxiang" modular assembly area. Chen Fan dragged over a pile of discarded shelves and aluminum alloy profiles: "Strengthen, standardize, movable interfaces!" [Triggered 500x material and structure Amplification, obtained "Intelligent Modular Production Station"!]

The originally dilapidated shelves turned into lightweight, sturdy production modules with omnidirectional wheels at the bottom and surfaces covered in standardized interfaces.

With the three major workshops built, the next step was to strictly lay out the factory's entire electrical wiring, compressed air pipelines, coolant circuits, and resource recycling pipes according to the Smart Brain's 3D model. Chen Fan amplified discarded cables, pipes, and sensors to enhance their conductivity, sealing, and detection accuracy. When the last wire was connected and the final sensor was in place, the entire "Panshi Foundation" seemed infused with an invisible bloodstream and neural network.

Chen Fan shouted into his phone: "future smart brain, import the layout plan!"

"Received! 3D modeling in progress... Path planning complete!" Data streams flickered on the phone screen. Production modules automatically moved and connected, assembling a production line in ten minutes. With a different plan, the modules quickly reconfigured, turning into a server cabinet assembly line, as flexible as a Transformer!

The entire process flowed seamlessly, with the future smart brain's prompts constantly sounding: "Smelting furnace debugging complete! Machining center precision calibration finished! Modular production line test passed!"

At sunset, after a month of hard work, the internal construction of all three major workshops was fully complete! The smelting furnace in the Thousand Hammers workshop flickered with firelight, the intelligent equipment in the hundred refinements workshop gleamed with a cold sheen, and the modular platforms in the Wanxiang workshop were neatly arranged. The entire factory interior was filled with a futuristic, technological feel, creating a stark contrast with the junkyard outside.

"Uncle Wang, our factory construction is finished. Now we just need a signboard. I'll send you a design later; contact a sign maker to create a signboard for our factory," Chen Fan said to Wang Defu.

"Alright, send me the drawing, and I'll contact Xiao Zhao," Wang Defu replied.

Chen Fan asked the future smart brain to design a minimalist, tech-inspired signboard for him. Simultaneously, he instructed the Smart Brain to prepare the materials for company registration and handle the related procedures to establish the company—named Panshi Foundation Technology Manufacturing.

Just then, Chen Fan's phone vibrated. He looked and saw a message from Su Qingyue: "Chen Fan, are you free the day after tomorrow? I said I wanted to thank you last time but haven't had the chance. I'm off work the day after tomorrow; let me treat you to a meal."

Seeing the message, a touch of softness appeared on Chen Fan's face. For this past month, he had thrown himself entirely into the factory construction, almost completely cut off from the outside world. Su Qingyue's several greetings had become a comfort in his busy life.

"Sure, just send me the address," Chen Fan replied.

"12 noon. I'll send you the address in a bit."

"OK, see you the day after tomorrow."

He looked down at his old clothes stained with grease and dust, then touched the somewhat prickly stubble on his face and his unkempt, vagrant-like hair.

"Uncle Wang. Take us shopping at the mall tomorrow." Chen Fan decided to indulge in some serious spending.
