Chapter 204 The Space Carrier is Born!
Longhang Shipyard.
Inside the busy and futuristic industrial park, sunlight spilled over the massive dry docks and the forest of equipment, gleaming with a metallic luster.
General Zhao Yong's office was located in a modern building; the interior was simple and bright, with various ship design blueprints and project schedules hanging on the walls.
At this moment, the anxious-looking person in charge rushed into the office!
His steps were hurried, and his face bore a look of gravity and helplessness.
He approached General Zhao Yong, panting slightly, and said:
"General Zhao, we have encountered an extremely thorny problem!"
"Now, all work on the Aerospace Carrier has been basically completed, except for the final installation of the energy system!"
"However, we lack the proper tools to install the Nuclear Reactor!"
General Zhao Yong heard the person in charge, a flash of surprise in his eyes. He sat up slightly, his gaze revealing a thoughtful expression:
"Is it already time for the final step?"
"In other words, once the Nuclear Fusion Reactor is installed, the installation work for the Aerospace Carrier will be finished?"
The person in charge nodded heavily, the worry on his face deepening, and he explained anxiously:
"That's right! But the final step of installing the Nuclear Reactor is extremely tricky and not easy to complete!"
"If we have to manufacture installation tools, we'll probably have to wait a long time, which will seriously delay the project schedule!"
"I'm a bit puzzled; did Chief Engineer Su not think of this in advance?"
General Zhao Yong listened and smiled calmly, his eyes revealing a sense of confidence and composure.
"Of course he did. Don't worry; I'll make a phone call to help you solve this problem."
Saying this, General Zhao Yong picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.
After a brief response from the other end, General Zhao Yong hung up and said to the person in charge:
"We only need to wait an hour, and our tools will arrive."
The person in charge was stunned for a moment, saying with a confused face:
"An hour, and the tools will arrive???"
He was filled with curiosity, wondering what kind of magical tools were about to arrive.
Just like that, time passed second by second in tense anticipation.
In less than an hour, General Zhao Yong received a call.
He stood up immediately and said to the person in charge, "Our tools have arrived."
The person in charge, filled with curiosity and a trace of doubt, followed General Zhao Yong to the designated location.
They arrived at an open field, surrounded by neatly arranged equipment and materials, but it seemed there was nothing in front of them.
The person in charge: "They aren't here yet?"!
General Zhao Yong repeated again:
"They have already arrived."
"Where..." The person in charge looked around, full of confusion.
General Zhao Yong grinned and said, "They should... be right in front of us."
Immediately after, almost in an instant, several dark shadows appeared like ghosts behind the person in charge.
The person in charge only felt a breeze sweep past behind him, followed by the sensation of several dark shadows flashing by.
He was startled, immediately dodged to the side, and turned around quickly.
He was stunned to discover five massive Space Mecha standing before him like steel giants.
These mecha gleamed with a silver metallic luster; their lines were smooth and full of power. Their massive bodies exuded a strong sense of oppression, and the various precision parts and complex mechanical structures on them were breathtaking.
The person in charge widened his eyes, staring at these mecha, and asked General Zhao Yong in surprise:
"What is going on with these mecha?"
General Zhao Yong explained with a smile:
"These are the tools Su Chen arranged for you."
"The subsequent reactor installation work can be left to them!"
After hearing this, the person in charge waved his hands, resolutely stating:
"No, absolutely not!"
"The reactor installation work requires the utmost caution."
"These hunks of iron might have first-class combat capabilities, but they aren't qualified for installation work!"
"The slightest carelessness could lead to a reactor accident!"
"The reactor is the most important energy system; any accident could potentially damage the reactor itself!"
"Moreover, the installation work must be carried out on the Aerospace Carrier's body. If we cause any damage to the Aerospace Carrier, all our previous efforts will be wasted!"
As expected of the person in charge, he knew the importance and danger of this task and was very thorough in his considerations.
However, General Zhao Yong patiently persuaded him: "These were arranged by Su Chen!"
"As Chief Engineer Su, he must trust the Space Mecha, which is why he entrusted the most important installation work to them!"
"I think we should trust Su Chen!"
The person in charge realized at this moment that this was actually Chief Engineer Su's decision.
In his heart, Chief Engineer Su had always been like a god-like existence!
Every one of his decisions had deep consideration and certainty.
Thus, the person in charge's attitude immediately changed. Not only did he stop opposing it, but he also said eagerly:
"Since it is his decision, I will obey unconditionally!"
"Then hurry and let these mecha start working!"
General Zhao Yong was amused by the person in charge's change in attitude and said with a smile:
"You trust Su Chen that much? You were so worried just a moment ago, but as soon as I mentioned Su Chen, you agreed immediately!"
The person in charge said with a serious face: "Chief Engineer Su is the god of the scientific world in my heart!"
"Even if he were to fart, I would think that fart has research value!"
General Zhao Yong laughed and teased: "You son of a bitch, you really are a talent!"
However, despite the talk, General Zhao Yong was still somewhat curious and worried about the capabilities of these Space Mecha.
He turned to the Space Mecha that had approached and asked the leader of the squad:
"Are you confident in completing the reactor installation work?"
The squad leader answered with full confidence:
"Rest assured, Chief, we have been trained by General Su Chen and now have mastered the installation work of the Nuclear Reactor!"
"Just watch!"
General Zhao Yong nodded slightly and asked again:
"Does installing the Nuclear Reactor require high manual dexterity?"
The squad leader indicated: "That is correct, Chief."
General Zhao Yong pondered for a moment and then said: "Very good!"
He called over a subordinate and ordered: "Go get me some eggs."
The subordinate was stunned, full of confusion, but still obediently went to get the eggs.
Soon, the subordinate brought back a basket of eggs.
General Zhao Yong told him to distribute the eggs to the Mecha Warriors.
The warriors who received the eggs were also a bit confused, not knowing what General Zhao Yong meant by this.
It could be seen that in the massive hands of these Mecha Warriors, the eggs were as inconspicuous as a sesame seed.
Then General Zhao Yong said: "Use each of your fingers in coordination with your thumb to pick up the eggs one by one!"
Hearing this request, the person in charge was stunned. He thought silently to himself that just hearing it, he could feel how difficult this action was.
If it were normal human fingers, it would be relatively easy to do, but the mecha's fingers had so much force that if they couldn't control their strength slightly, the eggs would shatter. This was simply too difficult.
Especially when it came to the coordination of the pinky finger and thumb, the difficulty would be even greater!
The person in charge knew that General Zhao Yong wanted to test the finger dexterity of these warriors, but he felt this test was too harsh.
However, after hearing General Zhao Yong's words, these warriors did not show the slightest difficulty or hesitation.
They began to pinch the eggs according to the requirements without any hesitation.
Then, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.
The eggs were seen moving back and forth between the massive fingers of the Space Mecha, actually dancing as if between agile human fingers, or even more agile than human fingers.
One of the warriors even gently tossed an egg up. Under the incredulous gazes of everyone, the egg traced an arc in the air and was then steadily pinched by the warrior's fingers again.
This scene could simply be called a miracle.
Steel fingers, unlike soft flesh, could not provide a shock-absorbing effect. Yet, the eggs did not shatter under these circumstances, which only showed that these warriors' grasp of force had reached a terrifying level.
General Zhao Yong was very satisfied with this. He smiled and clapped, exclaiming: "Even normal people might not have fingers as agile as yours. Very good, you have passed the test."
The squad leader smiled and said: "Chief, the test you gave us is not as strict as Chief Su's training."
General Zhao Yong was stunned and asked curiously: "How does that kid usually train you?"
The squad leader recalled the training scenes, a wry smile appearing on his face:
"He makes us hold a needle in one hand and thread in the other, and then sew clothes."
Hearing this, General Zhao Yong almost turned to stone. He sighed inwardly, thinking that Su Chen, that kid, was ruthless. Making mecha thread a needle—the needle and thread were so thin, and the mecha's palms were so big!
This, damn it, was simply devilish training!
Compared to Su Chen, his own test really didn't count for much...
After this test, the person in charge and General Zhao Yong were completely relieved.
At this moment, in their hearts, there were no more suitable installation tools than these mecha.
They believed that under Su Chen's meticulous training, these Space Mecha would definitely be able to excellently complete the Nuclear Reactor installation work, contributing key power to the smooth completion of the Aerospace Carrier.
And just as they thought, the final energy installation work for the Aerospace Carrier was successfully completed in a few days!
The Aerospace Carrier was officially built!
