83: Chu Yunze's shock

Congratulations on obtaining Exchange Points: Ten Million Points.

Looking at the 19.84 million remaining Exchange Points on the System Panel, Li Mubai leaned back in his seat and smiled knowingly.

Although he only had 19.84 million Exchange Points now, which was still a long way from exchanging for fifth and sixth-generation fighter jets, he was still very satisfied, because these 19.84 million Exchange Points were just the beginning!

A small order from the military alone had directly brought in 15 million Exchange Points.

This speed could only be described as divine.

Even before the Numerical Control Machine Tool's reputation had spread, it was already earning so many Exchange Points.

It was imaginable.

Once the Numerical Control Machine Tool's reputation became widely known, Exchange Points would continuously pour in.

And now.

There were only five Numerical Control Machine Tools in the factory.

Furthermore, these Numerical Control Machine Tools could only process small parts with a diameter of no more than thirty centimeters.

Clearly.

This would not be able to meet the continuous stream of future orders.

Currently.

Many large pieces of equipment were developing rapidly.

Many factories not only needed to process small parts, but large parts were also indispensable.

So...

Li Mubai looked at the System Panel and then found an item that could solve these worries.

Fully Automated Parts Processing Production Line. Rarity Index: 0.1 Stars (Maximum level five stars). Description: A basic product of a First-level civilization, it can achieve automated parts processing. (Civilization levels range from one to nine, with nine being the highest). Required Exchange Points: Thirty-five Million Points.

Seeing the numbers 'thirty-five million', Li Mubai's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Then he looked at his Exchange Points again.

Remaining Exchange Points: Nineteen Million Eight Hundred Forty Thousand Points.

It turned out.

He was still stuck with the identity of a 'poor household'.

In short,

Although he now had nearly twenty million Exchange Points, he was still a pauper!

Compared to the items in the System Store.

His current Exchange Points were still not enough!

One should know.

The items he had exchanged for so far were all very basic things.

Things like primary gene potions required tens of billions of Exchange Points.

Furthermore.

This primary gene potion was only a product of a Second-level civilization.

It was hard to imagine.

How many Exchange Points would be needed to exchange for items from Third-level or Fourth-level civilizations.

"Still short by over ten million, how can I gather these thirty-five million?"

"Do I have to go out and promote it myself?"

As soon as this thought emerged, Li Mubai shook his head, casting the idea aside.

Going out to promote it, he would just forget about it.

He was indeed not suited for that.

"Then... should I let Ruan Xiu go out and promote it? She's so beautiful, she'd definitely be a natural at sales..."

Another thought arose.

However.

Before this thought could fully mature, it was once again rejected by him.

"No, no. Ruan Xiu is so beautiful; she would definitely suffer if she went out to promote. It's better to let her stay in the factory office."

He didn't know why.

Li Mubai always had a strange feeling deep down, which was that he didn't want Ruan Xiu to go out and show her face.

He didn't dwell on this feeling too much.

How to make the Numerical Control Machine Tool famous and increase effective orders was his most pressing concern at the moment.

Soon.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of a place.

Newspaper offices!

That's right, newspaper offices.

In the 90s, even televisions were not yet widespread, and using computers for online information transfer was even less likely.

Compared to televisions, the possibility of an ordinary household having a computer was even smaller.

And newspaper offices.

Were precisely where the public enjoyed and learned news and information.

Besides that.

Ordinary citizens could hardly learn about major national affairs from other places.

And newspaper kiosks, often found nationwide,

Furthermore.

Some large companies would have a newspaper kiosk at their entrance.

This further increased the exposure of the Numerical Control Machine Tool!

As long as there was exposure, someone would definitely be interested, and then contact the Steel Factory.

And these people.

As long as they contacted the Steel Factory, there was a high probability that they would place an order.

After all, the precision of the Numerical Control Machine Tool within the Steel Factory was unmatched, not only domestically but even internationally.

Thinking of this.

Li Mubai got up, walked out of his office, found Ruan Xiu, and asked her to help him search online for the contact information of various newspaper offices.

......

At the same time.

Eastern Theater Command.

The scorching climate caused the space to twist menacingly.

And under the scorching sun.

A black jeep was speeding along a somewhat bumpy dirt road.

The reason for not building wide asphalt roads was for the safety considerations of the Theater Command, hence this was the case.

Two people were in the car, Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General and Zheng Dafeng.

Soon.

The vehicle drove into a mountain with dense forests.

Both sides of the narrow road, which only allowed one car to pass, were lined with tall shrubs, obscuring the sky and sun.

Occasionally, a single ray of light would fall through.

Before long.

The car stalled and stopped, as there was no further road ahead.

Ahead was a cliff tens of meters high, and they were at the very bottom of the cliff.

However.

It wasn't truly a dead end, because on the wall of the cliff ahead, there was a cave entrance three meters long and wide.

The interior of this cliff was a hidden wonder, precisely where the arsenal was located!

The reason for building the arsenal here.

Was, of course, also for safety considerations.

Due to insufficient national air defense capabilities, drones from Eagle Country frequently flew into Rabbit Country territory to observe and take photos.

And such an important place as an arsenal.

Under circumstances where air defense capabilities were not perfect, it would naturally not be built under the conspicuous blue sky and white clouds.

Doing so would expose the arsenal to the surveillance of Eagle Country.

There were soldiers guarding the entrance of the arsenal.

After clarifying their identities, Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General and the other person then walked into the cave.

Inside the cave entrance was a huge space; the entire mountain had been hollowed out, and it was as bright as day inside, with various production machines.

These machines were running, making continuous rumbling sounds.

The two quickly arrived at a corner where parts were stacked, with box after box piled up like a small mountain.

"Are these the batch of parts?"

Looking at the densely packed boxes in front of him, Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General asked Zheng Dafeng.

Zheng Dafeng nodded: "That's right, these are the parts brought back from that Steel Factory."

Having received confirmation.

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General immediately opened a box at his feet, revealing the neatly arranged black parts inside.

He casually picked up a few, examined them carefully in front of his eyes, and casually asked: "What is the qualification standard for this batch of parts?"

"Between 9.65 and 9.658 millimeters, they are considered qualified."

Zheng Dafeng immediately replied.

Upon hearing this.

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General nodded slightly, then took the parts and found a parts measurement personnel.

"Help me measure the size of these parts."

The measurement personnel naturally would not refuse Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General's request.

After he took the parts, he immediately placed them on the measuring instrument and began testing.

Before long.

The measurement personnel had finished measuring all the parts:

"Reporting, Chief, the precision of these parts is all 9.654 millimeters."

"Are they really all 9.654, not a single milligram or millimeter off?"

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General was a bit dumbfounded and asked again in disbelief.

"They are indeed identical. This is the first time I've seen parts with such identical precision. I remember that the precision of our arsenal doesn't seem to reach the level of being exactly the same."

The measurement personnel held the parts in his hand, marveling.

Upon hearing this.

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General was also greatly shocked.

All the words Hu Lao had said before were mercilessly overturned by the facts before his eyes at this moment.

The facts were right in front of him, allowing no sophistry or rebuttal!

He still remembered Hu Lao saying that even if the country spent another ten years on Numerical Control Machine Tools, it would be impossible to improve the precision to within 0.006 millimeters.

And now.

The processing factory for this batch of parts had actually controlled the precision of all such parts to within 9.654 millimeters!

What did this mean?

It meant that the processing factory for this batch of parts had truly developed a Numerical Control Machine Tool with a precision of 0.001 millimeters!

"I didn't expect that what Zhao Zhenghua said was all true, without any exaggeration! Someone actually developed a Numerical Control Machine Tool with 0.001 millimeter precision!"
