Chapter 81 - 81: Stealing a Beam and Swapping a Pillar
The two of them arrived at the office.
Tang Rui poured a cup of tea for Feng Yuanxing and then sat opposite him.
“Old Feng, don’t be nervous; we’re just chatting,” Tang Rui reassured him, seeing that Feng Yuanxing was a little restless.
“I’m sorry, President Tang,” Feng Yuanxing hurriedly replied.
“It’s okay. 1 just wanted to ask you, is your family under a lot of financial pressure?”
“Fortunately, President Tang took us in. Otherwise, the family would have been in trouble, to be honest,” Feng Yuanxing admitted.
Feng Yuanxing was still very grateful to Tang Rui. Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to accept him.
“It’s okay. It’ll get better and better in the future. 1 know your skill level; you’re better than them. In the future, when the company develops, it will definitely give you more responsibilities. By the way, our company recently had a business deal with the Middle East, you know, right?”
“I know.”
“Yes, it’s like this. You know what’s going on with the Middle East. I sold them the equipment and gave them a learning system, but they still asked us to send someone over to train them.” When Tang Rui said this, he looked at Feng Yuanxing.
He had to force others to go on a business trip, let alone go abroad. What if they were in trouble? If he had something to do at home and could not leave her, wouldn’t that make things difficult for her?
“President Tang, give me a chance. Let me go. The Middle East is famous for being forthright. 1 want to earn more and improve my family’s conditions,” Feng Yuanxing immediately replied as if he was begging him.
“Then 1’11 have to trouble you to make the trip. The Middle East will give you a training fee of $100,000. The company doesn’t want it; it’s all yours. In addition to this training fee, they will also give you a subsidy of $500 a day. You don’t have to worry about your living environment. Everything will be arranged over there. Just treat it as a vacation, and you’ll be back in a month or so,” Tang Rui offered.
Tang Rui did not lack that bit of money, and there was no need to squeeze it from his employees. The training fee was given to Feng Yuanxing as a reward for his business trip.
“Thank you, President Tang. This money really solved my urgent need,” Feng Yuanxing said excitedly.
$100,000 was not a small sum of money. They worked overseas for only a few hundred thousand yuan in three years, and it was in a place like Africa that was in chaos. He had only gone to the Middle East, and he had earned so much money. He must be excited.
“Alright, I’ll give you two days off. Arrange your family matters and leave the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay, President Tang. I’ll go pack my things first.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
After Feng Yuanxing left, Tang Rui went to look for Lin Chao again and asked him to help contact the China Electric Power Department. Feng Yuanxing’s various documents and arrangements for his arrival had to be done in advance.
At night, Tang Rui returned home and personally made a laptop. It was similar to the three-proof laptop he had made before, but the other parts were not strengthened. Only the communication device was strengthened. With this laptop, even if Feng Yuanxing encountered any problems, he would be able to contact him in time. It had a powerful satellite communication function to ensure that Feng Yuanxing would not lose contact due to signal problems.
As for more, he could not do it. He couldn’t possibly arrange a media for Old Feng, right? If that happened, he really wouldn’t be able to come back.
Two days later, Feng Yuanxing took the laptop Tang Rui gave him, dragged his luggage, and took the plane to the Middle East. Tang Rui saw him off. Tang Rui continued to assemble the drones. After a simple ground test, the engine was installed on the drone.
Crack!
The instant Tang Rui closed the engine’s bottom maintenance hatch cover, a faint blue light flashed.
[Item: Supersonic stealth drone with hidden dangers]
[Experience: 0/8500]
[Origin Points: 877.28]
Hmm? Hidden dangers? Seeing the prefixing on the system panel, Tang Rui was a little speechless. The equipment had been checked. There was no problem. The design was also copied, so there couldn’t be any problems. The only problem was… It should be in the final assembly. When he assembled it, where did he not do it well?
Forget it. He didn’t care. Now, if he wanted to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth inspection of the entire drone, it would be more troublesome than reassembling it. He could just pull it out and test it on the track. When he had enough experience points, he could level it up once.
“Brother Lin, can you help me find a secret place to test the drone on the ground?” Tang Rui found Lin Chao and asked him to help find a testing ground.
“Small problem. Do you have any special requirements for the venue?” Lin Chao did not think much of it. The military district had nothing but plenty of venues.
“There are no special requirements. A cement floor will do. If the venue is a little bigger, that would be even better.”
“Sure, I’ll give you the news tomorrow.”
“By the way, Brother Lin, with our company’s qualifications, can we apply for explosives?” Tang Rui thought of something and opened his mouth to ask again.
“Explosives? What explosives?”
“The kind used for missiles.”
“This… You need to apply. How much do you need? What is its use?”
“Manufacturing missiles.”
“I’ll make a report and give it a try.”
Lin Chao also did not expect that Tang Rui actually needed explosives and even wanted to make missiles. This kid was getting bolder and bolder.
The next day, Lin Chao told Tang Rui that the venue had been found; it was the recruit training camp. This year’s recruits had yet to enlist, so the training camp was empty. This place could train 5,000 recruits at a time. The venue was definitely big enough. As for the explosives, the higher-ups hadn’t approved them yet. They told him to wait for news. Tang Rui was not surprised by this either. It would be weird if explosives were so easy to apply for. He was not in a hurry.
“Remove the wings and drag the drone into the car,” Tang Rui arranged for the personnel to begin dismantling and loading the drones.
After working for a long time, the drones were brought to the training camp, and they even prepared a large warehouse for them to use as a hangar.
“Next, you will conduct ground tests on the drones here. Whether it’s the steering wheel, the engine, or the aviators, all of them need to be thoroughly tested. Don’t stop the engine. Let the drone run on the field for at least ten hours a day,” Tang Rui instructed everyone.
There was only one purpose: allowing the drone to accumulate experience and upgrade as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the hidden dangers, he did not dare to let the drone fly. If it crashed… That would be an absolute disaster.
After assigning tasks to the employees, Tang Rui returned to the company and continued to assemble the drones.
Nominally, the parts he ordered were two sets of drone parts and even half a set of maintenance parts. Therefore, he had enough spare parts to assemble another drone. However, he did not want to assemble the drone. Instead, he used this name to put the drone in his hand on the surface. As for how to operate it, that would be too simple.
He dismantled the drone at home and shipped it to the company. He would assemble a little every day and finish it in a week. So what if he was fast? Can’t you just get used to it?
When the time came, he would use this drone and throw the extra parts into the sea. No one would be able to find them.
In the blink of an eye, more than a week passed. Tang Rui also completed the plan to steal the beam and replace the pillar. The drone at home had already been washed clean and placed on the surface.
At the same time, after using the drone in the training ground for the past few days, he had enough experience points. After Tang Rui upgraded it, the ‘hidden danger’ precondition on the system panel completely disappeared.
Since there were no more problems, of course, they had to test it out. Tang Rui directly contacted the Air Force and applied for the drone test flight airspace. This had to be applied for because it was a test flight, the airspace below the application could not be a city. It had to be in an uninhabited area..
