Chapter 633: Light Weapons R&D Center!
The government of Huaxia was indeed very efficient in its ability to organize and mobilize, and two days later it released a news report on the discovery of the coronavirus epidemic in China, and Quantum Networks also reported the relevant news report as soon as possible, and also vigorously publicized the epidemic prevention measures.
At the same time, major hospitals across the country have also done a good job of isolation measures, and have implemented rapid isolation and monitoring for infected patients with various fever and cough.
Li Yuguang was intercepted when he returned to Hong Kong, and he was strictly quarantined, but the same person who secretly contacted his companion in Hong Kong when he was quarantined and concocted false news reports.
The Hong Kong branch of Quantum Networks also reported the news that Li Yuguang was a carrier of superbugs through the Internet and newspapers and magazines.
Hong Kong was also experiencing an outbreak of coronavirus deaths, and many health care workers were also infected, and reporters from Quantum Networks were reporting on them at the risk of being infected.
For a time, Hong Kong also became a rumor.
When the Hong Kong government called for a state of emergency for the whole city to impose mandatory quarantine on people infected with the virus, it was opposed by some people, and this measure could not be pushed forward for a long time.
Hong Kong's health department feels that the epidemic is like fighting a fire, and has consulted the World Health Organization, and the World Health Organization experts have also agreed with the Hong Kong government's measures, and several laboratories in Hong Kong and the mainland are also working intensively to analyze the virus strain, trying to come up with a treatment plan for the infected in the shortest possible time.
However, these measures have been blocked by some people with ulterior motives, who have used demonstrations to oppose the quarantine measures.
Hearing these news, Yang Jie also sighed-
These people are really dying by themselves, and by the way, they have to pull many people who don't know the truth as cannon fodder, which is really extremely cold-blooded and cruel!
But the only thing Yang can do is get Quantum Networks' Hong Kong branch to do its best to promote the epidemic prevention measures.
In January 03, the epidemic in Hong Kong reached its peak, and more than 20 people who had been in contact with Li Yuguang died one after another, setting a record for the largest number of deaths in a single outbreak since the outbreak of the epidemic.
Dozens of people were infected at the same time in a residential building in Hong Kong, and the health department deduced that the infection was caused by contaminated water, and the Hong Kong Department of Health issued unprecedented isolation regulations, isolating all the communities where the building is located at home, and finally a total of 213 residents were found to be hospitalized due to infection.
And the people who have been in contact with Li Yuguang live in this community.
People come and go in Hong Kong frequently, and the epidemic has spread to neighboring countries such as Vietnam and Singapore, where new cases of coronavirus infection have emerged.
In the face of the outbreak, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a global warning for the first time, describing the outbreak in the mainland and Hong Kong, and requiring all localities to establish an early warning mechanism and report it in a timely manner.
At this time, there were also virus infections in Canada and the United States, and these Western countries could not sit still.
The president of the United States signed an order adding the coronavirus to the list of diseases that can be quarantined against the person's will — a list that was last updated about 20 years ago.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a global travel guide, advising travelers planning to Hong Kong and Huaxia Guodong to consider postponing non-essential travel.
Residents in Hong Kong and many cities on the mainland have been forced to stay at home and dare not go out, and services such as tourism, catering, entertainment, and shopping malls have suffered a huge blow to their businesses.
This time, because of the effective control in China, the number of deaths of patients infected with the coronavirus is very small, but this does not mean that the warning of the epidemic has been lifted.
During this period, Huaxing Group also donated protective clothing and isolation equipment to the health departments in China and Hong Kong, many of which were purchased from abroad and spent a lot of money.
After the Spring Festival, Yang Jie also went to a light weapons research and development center on the outskirts of Yongzhou City of Zhongyuan Automobile Company.
This R&D center was originally a factory of the Zhongyuan Automobile Company, but it has now been rebuilt into a small arms R&D center.
Fu Zhijian, the general manager in charge of the light weapons research and development center, is also responsible for administrative management and personnel management and firearms quality control management after being transferred from the product quality control management department of Aihua Technology Company.
"I transferred you to this secluded department, and you must have no less resentment towards me in your heart, right?"
Yang Jie looked at this Fu Zhijian and said.
"Yang Shao, I work everywhere I go, and you also know that I am a firearms enthusiast, I am really happy to be able to deal with these firearms every day. ”
Fu Zhijian said with a smile.
In fact, another reason is that this light weapons research and development center is directly under the management of the secretariat of the headquarters of the group company, and many members of this research and development center are personally ordered by Yang Jie, so it can be said that they are directly under his management.
As for why Yang Shao personally asked about the research and development of light weapons, Fu Zhijian was a little puzzled.
Yang Jie smiled and shook hands with Lu Yonghua, the forty-year-old chief designer of the R&D center in front of him, and said, "Chief Master Lu, the burden on your shoulders is not small, right?"
Lu Yonghua pulled a stiff smile on his face: "Yang Shao, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity......
This Lu Yonghua is a designer that Yang Jie asked for from the Light Weapons R&D Center of the Northern Arms Group Company, and he has always been taciturn, with no expression on his face, and is called Iron Mask.
He worked in the light weapons research institute for more than 10 years, and over the years he had been designing some strange light weapons design drawings and handed them over to the leadership of the research institute, but naturally they were rejected, but after a period of time, he submitted some weapon drawings of his own design, and in the past 10 years or so he designed a total of no less than 100 types of light weapons of all kinds, all of which were shot.
In particular, when he participated in the development of the Type 03 rifle in 96, he directly criticized the concept of the gun family proposed by the chief designer at that time as outdated, but put forward the idea of modularization and platformization, which made the chief engineer very embarrassed.
The 03 rifle was later designed to incorporate the idea of modularity, but the concept of weapon platform was rejected, and after the design of this series of guns was completed, the working group was disbanded, and Lu Yonghua has been a cold bench after returning to his unit, and there was no place for him in the new gun design team last year.
After Yang Jie learned about this, he asked Lu Yonghua to be responsible for the design of new light weapons, and at the same time, he also transferred a group of technical personnel from all walks of life to form a very capable team, this research and development center has a total of less than 60 people, but most of the people are technicians with rich experience in their respective industries.
This includes personnel in precision mechanical manufacturing, chemical materials, aerodynamic designers, simulation research and design, wireless electronic technology, optical equipment, and artificial intelligence.
Yang Jie also directly allocated more than one billion funds to the R&D center, equipped the R&D center with various high-precision CNC machining equipment and experimental equipment, and built a weapon testing site.
This is the first time he has come here since the completion of the R&D center, and all the people from the R&D center have come to this conference room in the R&D center.
"Everyone must have asked me what is the real reason for setting up this light weapons research and development center, I must have been worried about what if my boss is unhappy one day and no longer supports this project, or worried that the research and development center has invested so much, and the light weapons are not very profitable, and the weapons produced cannot be sold?"
Yang Jie looked at these people and said.
"Yang Shao, everyone does have these ideas...... Lu Yonghua said at this time.
"So I'm here this time to reassure everyone. Yang Jie said with a smile.
"I started this idea with an incident two years ago......
Yang Jie slowly told these people about an incident he encountered in the United States two years ago.
