Chapter 179 Comparing yourself to others is just awful!
"They say heroes come from the youth, and damn it, I've finally seen it for myself."
"Could he be here through nepotism? (Whispering)"
"What do you think this is? Can you become the General person in charge of a military project just by pulling strings?"
"That's insane. When I was his age, I was still just busy stuffing my face in college, and he's already become the Chief Engineer!"
"Comparing people to each other is just infuriating!"
...
The crowd whispered among themselves!
Afterward, they greeted Su Chen one after another.
Su Chen also gave them a simple greeting, and then, led by the person in charge, he walked inside.
After passing through several strict security checkpoints, they finally entered the interior of the manufacturing base.
Su Chen was immediately stunned, as if he had entered a utopia.
The entrance was initially narrow, barely allowing a person to pass, but after walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up.
Inside, it was truly a world of its own.
The central corridor was spacious and bright, with alloy walls on both sides emitting a cold, stern luster.
Inside the production workshop, giant mechanical arms precisely assembled components, while researchers focused on operating precision instruments.
The research Laboratory was quiet and mysterious, with researchers focused on experimenting with new materials and optimizing weapon designs.
There were numerous zones, all full of a sense of technology!
But this was not Su Chen's most intuitive impression!
His most intuitive impression was that this place was big!
Extremely big!
Exceptionally big!
And the thing that caught his eye the most was that Aerospace Carrier!
The hull was forged from high-strength alloy materials, shimmering with a mysterious metallic luster, both incredibly tough and full of technological appeal.
Its sleek lines seemed as if they had been carved by the power of the universe.
Under the lights of the manufacturing base, the surface of the Aerospace Carrier gave off a faint halo, as if it were shrouded in a mysterious energy shield.
Along the edges, advanced navigation and communication equipment were installed, with signal lights flashing constantly, like stars in the night sky.
At this moment, that magnificent Aerospace Carrier stood quietly within.
Looking at its exterior, the frame of the Aerospace Carrier had now been completely built!
And it seemed to be more than just that.
General Zhao Yong suggested going inside to take a look; Su Chen paused for a moment, somewhat surprised.
Then, continuing under the guidance of the person in charge, they walked inside.
This time, Su Chen was completely shocked; it wasn't just the frame, even the interior had been completed.
The central control room, cockpit, conference room, staff lounge, and so on—all these places were built perfectly!
Compared to the blueprints he provided, they were practically identical!
General Zhao Yong said proudly: "The main body has been built."
He even asked Su Chen back: "How about that, not bad, right? It's not just a mere frame that's been built, you know?"
Su Chen stammered, not knowing what to say, and finally blurted out two words: "Awesome!"
This speed truly left Su Chen astonished.
It was the first time General Zhao Yong had seen such a look of shock on Su Chen's face, and the old man was overjoyed!
Having received Su Chen's affirmation, General Zhao Yong couldn't stop smiling!
This way, it felt like they had a sense of participation!
Otherwise, always being led by the nose by Su Chen would make them seem useless.
Just then, two middle-aged men walked over.
From their expressions, it wasn't hard to tell!
They had an urgent matter!
"Engineer Xu! We've discovered some major problems! We urgently need to report them to you!"
One of the two researchers said nervously.
The two staff members looked anxious, their eyes revealing deep worry.
At this critical moment, they even ignored Su Chen and General Zhao Yong.
The person in charge tried to keep them calm and said to them: "What problem has occurred? Don't worry, take your time."
One of them spoke eagerly: "The Aerospace Carrier is almost finished, and we just realized that the important propulsion system is missing!"
The other added immediately: "The propulsion system and the energy system are connected; not only is the propulsion system missing, but the energy system cannot be manufactured either!"
For the sake of confidentiality in the manufacturing work, the blueprints they received were all separated!
While they were busy with their own work, they assumed that another department was responsible for manufacturing the energy and propulsion systems.
As a result, with the Aerospace Carrier nearing completion, they suddenly discovered that no one was working on the energy and propulsion systems.
On the Aerospace Carrier, the locations to equip the energy and propulsion systems were still empty!
"Without an energy and propulsion system, doesn't that mean we've just manufactured a big toy that looks good but is useless?"
They had poured countless efforts and hard work into this project, but now they were facing such a huge problem.
Their words hit the person in charge like a heavy hammer.
His expression instantly became grave, realizing the severity of the problem.
One of them added: "We should contact the Chief Engineer and have him come over to take a look. Surely the blueprints given to us aren't defective!"
"Or perhaps this part of the technology hasn't had a breakthrough yet, so it was left empty!"
"I don't believe that for such a huge project, the Chief Engineer would be careless in this regard!"
"But regardless, it's safer to have the Chief Engineer come over!"
The person in charge was stunned, then said: "He's already here!"
The two were also stunned, then looked at the two people beside the person in charge!
When their eyes swept over Su Chen and General Zhao Yong, and finally landed on General Zhao Yong, their expressions were full of surprise.
"Chief, are you... also an Engineer?"
"Are you the Chief Engineer of this project?"
The two were greatly shocked, clearly not expecting that General Zhao Yong had such an identity!
If that were really the case, then he was truly talented in both fields!
They couldn't help but think this way; in front of them, besides the person in charge and General Zhao Yong, there was only a young man left!
It couldn't possibly be him who was the Chief Engineer, right?!
The truth was just that dramatic!
General Zhao Yong wiped sweat from his brow, pointed at Su Chen, and said: "What are you talking about! It's him! He is the Chief Engineer of this project!"
Su Chen's mouth twitched, and he thought helplessly: "Do I not look like one..."
The two were shocked beyond measure, their eyes filled with disbelief.
At this moment, their heads were buzzing, as if thunder were rolling through their minds!
"The Chief Engineer is actually a student???"
"The Chief Engineer is this young?"
"Although I thought the Chief Engineer wasn't an ordinary person, I didn't expect him to be this extraordinary! He looks just like a college student!"
Su Chen's appearance really did look just like a student!
In fact, he was indeed a college student right now!
He just didn't go to class!
Otherwise, going to class would only add pressure to those teachers!
With Su Chen's current theoretical level, who could possibly teach him?
Su Chen coughed lightly, and after a simple self-introduction, he calmly explained:
"The energy and propulsion systems were not left empty without being manufactured!"
"These two systems are crucial, and I organized their manufacturing personally."
The two were startled, their hearts filled with doubt and worry.
"Can you do it alone? This is the hardest part!"
Su Chen shrugged: "In fact, it's already done!"
Already... done?
At this point, the two were completely stunned!
