Chapter 259: Chapter 108: Cold Start Second Phase, Complete!_2

The most important thing is that choosing this route basically does not require extra resources from Base 011.

Chen Jian already had a rough idea in his mind. He patted Huang Yu’s shoulder with satisfaction, then said:

"Very good, very inspirational."

Huang Yu was stunned for a moment, and instinctively asked:

"Have you already thought of what to do?"

"Yes."

Chen Jian stood up, and Huang Yu immediately asked:

"Are you going to make those giant planes... fly again?"

"It’s not that exaggerated — we can’t do it with our current capabilities."

"But, rest assured, you will see that day!"

"Good! I will definitely live to see that day!"

Huang Yu’s expression was solemn, and Chen Jian said with a mix of laughter and tears:

"Don’t say such unlucky things... everyone will live to see that day."

"The place our team is heading to is still far ahead."

"Let’s go, get some sleep."

"The second phase of cold start is about to finish; tomorrow is a big day."

"Organize everyone."

"Everyone must come to witness this milestone!"

....

In the early morning at 5:20 AM, Chen Jian, who was asleep, heard Fu Xi’s reminder:

"Commander, the second phase of the cold start process has ended."

"The intelligent workshop has started, awaiting your inspection."

As the words fell, Chen Jian instantly woke up.

He jumped up, grabbed his coat and put it on, then immediately got out of bed, pushed open the compartment door, and walked out.

In the activity area, Huang Yu had already led everyone to complete the lineup and was receiving a briefing from Lei Jie.

It seemed that Lei Jie got up even earlier than Chen Jian. When Chen Jian walked up to him, he was already at the final part of his speech.

"...In any case, after entering the workshop, absolutely no one is allowed to enter the work area, especially not the clean work area."

"Everyone must strictly adhere to rules and regulations and do not destroy the work environment within the intelligent workshop."

"The importance of this intelligent workshop far surpasses those weapons in the arsenal."

"You must treat it with utmost caution and respect, understand?"

"Understood!"

A unanimous response came from the crowd, and Lei Jie nodded, turning to Chen Jian:

"Captain, the team is assembled and ready to go."

"How about we leave now?"

Seeing his eager look, Chen Jian didn’t hesitate at all and immediately ordered:

"Set off!"

With the order given, everyone lined up in neat rows of three and entered the elevator in sequence.

Of course, Chen Jian and a few others were at the forefront, and just as the elevator came to a stop, Lei Jie impatiently rushed in.

Chen Jian followed right after into the passage specifically used for observation and tours. When the lights behind the glass curtain wall lit up one by one, the "spectacle" unique to modern industry was finally presented before Chen Jian.

Vast equipment, intricate tracks, orderly ant-like robots, constantly flashing indicator lights...

Chen Jian took a deep breath and then ordered:

"Fu Xi, begin the introduction."

"Understood, Commander."

Fu Xi’s voice immediately sounded, and then it said in a calm but solemn tone:

"Where we are now is the top layer of the entire intelligent workshop, namely the autonomous supply module."

"This module consists of several modules including smelting, casting, and mechanical grinding, capable of supplying raw materials to the entire intelligent workshop."

"However, the smelting and casting functional areas that this module carries are relatively small in scale and can only perform secondary processing of already stored finished raw materials in storage, lacking the capability to smelt and cast directly from raw minerals."

"But even so, this module can already meet the production requirements of most subsequent processes."

"For example, in the raw material preprocessing system of this module, the alloy batching center can automatically complete unmanned weighing work based on predetermined production tasks, dynamically adjust the raw material ratio, and control the error within 15 grams per ton."

"Based on this system, combined with high-precision vacuum induction melting furnaces, large hot isostatic presses, high-pressure casting machines, and other equipment configured within the module, this module can fulfil the supply task of various equipment parts."

"Theoretically speaking, from the simplest steel nail to the fan blade of an aircraft engine with the highest material requirements, both can have their material preparation completed in this module before moving on to the next process."

"Understood."

Chen Jian nodded slowly, while the other members of the Huaxia Army and the residents of Base 011 standing nearby were completely shocked by the scene in front of them, to the point that they even forgot to continue moving forward.

They had never seen anything so... bizarre.

If the "finished products" they saw earlier at Facility 011 were enough to break their cognitive limits, then everything in front of them was completely shattering their established cognition, then reaorganizing like concrete back together.

For the first time, they truly felt the significance of the word "industry."

It is absolutely incomparable to those primitive and crude workshops established by the Mechanical God Sect!

Everything here is so orderly, as if operating according to some law they have never been able to touch.

And behind this law... perhaps lays the truth!

By this time, Chen Jian and the others had already begun to move forward.

It was only after Lei Jie reminded the rest did they awaken from their stupor and followed in Lei Jie’s steps.

"We are now located at the basic production module, which is divided into three parts, namely the core processing unit, the additive manufacturing unit, and the auxiliary production unit."

"Among them, the core processing unit includes a super heavy CNC machine tool, six large, medium, and small-sized machine tools of different sizes, as well as other equipment including machining centers, flexible manufacturing units, and ultra-precision grinding machines."

"As for the additive manufacturing unit, it includes two 3D printers mainly used for manufacturing complex structural parts and high-precision components. But if necessary, these two devices can also undertake ordinary parts production work and can manufacture parts up to 2.5 meters in size."

"With this production module, we can manufacture almost all equipment and parts during the industrialization process, with the only limitation being materials."

"Understood."

Following Fu Xi’s guidance, Chen Jian and the others continued forward.

Afterwards, Fu Xi introduced all the modules of the entire intelligent workshop, including the equipment interconnection module, data management application module, auxiliary production module, logistics and transportation module, production decision module, and so on.

By the time they completed a tour and returned to the elevator, four hours had passed.

Everyone who returned to the living area had complex expressions, mixed with excitement, emotion, and disbelief.

But more than that, was a veneration, akin to facing a deity, that had not dissipated from start to finish...

The might of modern industry was showcased in the most bare and direct manner in front of everyone; at this moment, these native residents who had never truly understood the word "industry" unanimously came up with the same thought in their hearts:

No wonder the commanders always maintained such strong confidence.

No wonder they always held consistent disdain for the Mechanical God Sect, the Holy Blood Temple, and all the forces on this wasteland.

This is definitely not out of ignorance, nor is it due to their arrogance.

It is because...

They and the great forces on this wasteland are not even the same kind of thing.

They are the creators.

The creators in the field of mechanics!

Ji Xing, who was following closely next to Chen Jian, was still reluctantly looking back at the intelligent workshop behind and suddenly laughed after a moment.

"If those madmen from the Mechanical God Sect came here, they might really think this is the dwelling place of the so-called God of All Mechanisms..."

"Indeed."

Chen Jian nodded with amusement, then said:

"They probably never will understand that such splendor was actually created by humans themselves."

"But next, we are going to create even greater glory."

"Fu Xi!"

"I am here."

Chen Jian took a deep breath and then said:

"Commence the production tasks."

"First production task, small converter steel plant."

"Understood, production tasks have been scheduled, with an estimated completion time of 5 days."
