79: Parts order from the military district!

"Mu Bai, how many Numerical Control Machine Tools do you have here?"

Zhao Zhenghua asked excitedly.

Amidst his shock, he felt a heavy stone pressing on his heart suddenly drop with a thud.

He truly hadn't expected Li Mubai to give him such a big surprise!

With this Numerical Control Machine Tool, capable of precision down to 0.001 millimeters, would the problem of modifying the internal components of a tank still be a problem?

As for how Li Mubai managed to produce this machine tool, he wasn't interested.

Furthermore, it concerned his business secrets.

As a soldier, he naturally wouldn't ask him to hand over his secrets.

What's more,

Li Mubai's patriotic heart was evident; he even sold steel to the country at a low price and promised to temporarily forgo selling it to the market.

How could such a person do anything to harm the country?

He now only wanted to know how many such Numerical Control Machine Tools Li Mubai actually possessed.

The Research Institute he belonged to urgently needed such an automated High-Precision Machine Tool!

"Sorry, Uncle Zhao. I only have one such machine tool right now, and I don't plan to sell it externally for the time being. However... if you need parts processed, I can certainly help with that."

Li Mubai said with a smile.

Just kidding.

If he were to sell machine tools directly to the outside world now, how would he accumulate exchange points?!

The appearance of such a High-Precision CNC Machine Tool would naturally attract a large number of people to process parts, which would be an endless source of exchange points!

Currently,

He just lacked an opportunity to become famous.

After all,

Today's information network is not as developed as before, and computers are not yet widely popularized; only a few wealthy families or enterprises have computers.

Under such circumstances,

If he wanted to make the Numerical Control Machine Tool famous, he naturally needed Zhao Zhenghua to introduce orders.

He's very short on money right now!

"That's great! Mu Bai, I'll send someone with the blueprints tomorrow."

Zhao Zhenghua was overjoyed; the difficulty that had troubled their Research Institute was finally resolved, and he felt exceptionally light-hearted, not even noticing the hot weather anymore.

Amidst his happiness, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked about the price:

"Oh, right, Mu Bai, how do you charge for custom-processed parts here?"

"Uh... Uncle Zhao, you want to process internal parts for a tank, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Then, as my first customer, there's no charge for you."

"How can that be?" Zhao Zhenghua's expression was serious.

Li Mubai chuckled lightly: "Of course, Uncle Zhao, I'm not doing this unconditionally."

"What are the conditions?"

Under Zhao Zhenghua's puzzled gaze, Li Mubai said calmly:

"Of course, I hope Uncle Zhao can help me spread the word and introduce a couple of orders. After all... good wine also fears deep alleys."

Haha...

Zhao Zhenghua laughed heartily and readily agreed: "That's certainly no problem!"

Both were delighted.

After lingering for a while, Zhao Zhenghua finally left.

Shortly after he left, a mechanical voice sounded in Li Mubai's mind.

[Congratulations on gaining exchange points: 5.8 million points]

He knew without even checking the bank that the money for the steel had arrived!

.....

A week passed quickly.

During this time,

Li Mubai used the existing Numerical Control Machine Tool to replicate another Numerical Control Machine Tool.

Now,

There were two Advanced Numerical Control Machine Tools in the factory workshop.

And the parts Zhao Zhenghua needed were also completed early during this period.

The day after receiving the parts, Zhao Zhenghua called.

On the phone,

His tone was extremely light and happy, and he verbally promised to introduce a very large order!

...

This day,

As Li Mubai was about to use the two existing Numerical Control Machine Tools to replicate another machine tool, Old Xiao suddenly walked into the workshop and found him.

"Boss, someone is looking for you outside. He said Zhao Zhenghua introduced him."

"Zhao Zhenghua introduced him?!"

Li Mubai's movements paused, and his face lit up with joy.

He immediately shut down the Numerical Control Machine Tool, and the part in his hand was tossed aside.

Then he quickly walked to the faucet in the corner, washed his hands, and wiped all the sweat from his forehead and neck with a towel.

Having quickly done all this, he immediately headed towards the factory gate.

Exchange points were coming to his door; how could he not be happy?!

As soon as he arrived at the factory gate,

Li Mubai saw a black jeep, majestically and domineeringly parked in front of the gate.

Just as he was about to step forward,

A striking flash of white appeared before his eyes.

White license plate!

That's right.

The license plate of this jeep was white.

Seeing this,

Li Mubai's pupils contracted instantly.

A white license plate, in this world, meant that the car in front of him was extraordinary, most likely... a military vehicle.

Li Mubai walked forward.

At this moment,

The door of the black jeep also opened, and a figure stepped out.

The newcomer was tall and straight, appearing to be in his thirties, with a neatly cropped buzz cut, sharp, upturned eyebrows, a dignified and imposing demeanor, and a flat black leather bag in his hand.

"Hello, my name is Zheng Dafeng. May I ask your surname, sir?"

The newcomer greeted first.

Li Mubai smiled: "Hello, Mr. Zheng, my name is Li Mubai, and I am the owner of this Steel Factory."

"You are the owner who invented the Numerical Control Machine Tool? You are truly young!"

Zheng Dafeng's eyes held an appreciative look.

Li Mubai smiled faintly: "The sun is scorching outside; this is not a place to talk, Mr. Zheng. Let's go inside and chat."

Saying that,

He led Zheng Dafeng into the factory area.

The two then arrived at the lounge.

The lounge, besides being available for employees to rest, was mostly used as a reception room.

It contained soda, fruits, and other items, making reception very convenient.

After the two sat down, Old Xiao brewed tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of them, then left.

"Mr. Zheng, what is your request for coming here this time?"

After some mutual pleasantries, Li Mubai was the first to ask.

Zheng Dafeng said with a serious expression: "To be honest, Mr. Li. I came here because I heard that you can process parts with 0.001 millimeter precision. Is this true?"

Li Mubai nodded: "Indeed."

Receiving confirmation, a glint flashed in Zheng Dafeng's eyes: "Since that's the case, then my trip here was not in vain."

Li Mubai sat on the sofa, watching him, quietly waiting for him to continue.

After he finished speaking,

Zheng Dafeng reached out and opened the black leather bag he had been carrying, pulling out a large stack of white papers from it.

These papers were printed with various designs and detailed parameters.

Li Mubai looked closely and saw they were clearly part blueprints.

"Mr. Li, these are my requirements for this trip. Please take a look first."

Zheng Dafeng handed all the blueprints in his hand to Li Mubai.

Li Mubai took the blueprints and began to flip through them one by one.

Each of these blueprints represented a different part, varying in size, but all had specific parameter standards.

Some parts had a precision within 0.002 millimeters.

This level of precision, looking across the entire country, likely couldn't be achieved by any machine tool.

When Li Mubai had almost finished reviewing them, Zheng Dafeng then asked:

"Mr. Li, does your factory have the confidence to produce these parts?"
