In addition to these professional gear processing machine tools, Yang Weiping also saw various coordinate boring machines, thread grinders, worm grinders, gear grinders, optical grinders, high-precision garden grinders, high-precision hob grinders, high-precision thread lathes and other high-precision machine tools in the transmission processing workshop.

As the core component of the mid-to-high-end transmission bicycle, the design and quality of the transmission directly determine the grade of the bicycle.

After perfecting the various technological processes of the 18-speed transmission, Yang Weiping handed over the design of the transmission for different purposes of mountain bikes to the technical team led by Cook Woods.

In order for Hong Kong Giant Bicycle Co., Ltd. to maintain its leading position in the new era of cycling, it must have sufficient technical reserves.

Therefore, in addition to the production of 18-speed transmissions for mountain bikes, the current transmission workshop is also developing and verifying 21-speed, 24-speed, 27-speed, 30-speed and other series of bicycle transmissions.

In Yang Weiping's plan, after the launch of the first mountain bike, before other bicycle manufacturers in other countries have time to react, they will launch road racing vehicles, mountaineering off-road vehicles, multi-purpose off-road vehicles, downhill off-road vehicles, track off-road vehicles and other series of different models, quickly occupy the global bicycle middle and high-end market, and in one fell swoop Hong Kong Giant Bicycle's leading position in the global bicycle manufacturing industry.

The aluminum alloy frame is just the first smoke bomb thrown by Yang Weiping.

Now the required precision machine tools are basically in place, so the follow-up of titanium alloy frame, carbon fiber frame, polymer composite frame and other different materials of the development of the frame is also on the agenda.

For Yang Weiping's grand blueprint, Hughes Field showed unprecedented enthusiasm and vision.

With first-class equipment, coupled with first-class technicians, supplemented by the most scientific and reasonable technological process, strict quality management system, various types of transmission gear processing is naturally not a difficult task.

Solving the possible quality hazards of the two core components of the frame and transmission, Yang Weiping can also be the shopkeeper of the bicycle factory, because he believes that Hughes Field will be more nervous about product quality than him in the next few days, and he will definitely keep an eye on it.

After the inspection of the various parts processing workshops, Hughes Field specially prepared a reception for Yang Weiping, and the venue was chosen at Hughes Field's luxurious sea-view villa on Peak Road.

Yang Weiping was not very interested in this kind of social activity, but he couldn't bear Hughes Field's kindness, so he could only nod and agree.

Hughes Field apparently knew that Yang Weiping didn't like to be busy, and didn't make any big noise, except for a few of his British friends in Hong Kong, no outsiders were present.

Yang Weiping also knows a little about Hugh Field's social circle, but it is still a little strange that he did not see a local celebrity in Hong Kong at such a private drinking party today.

But when Hughes Field introduced his British friends to Yang Weiping, Yang Weiping realized that his previous understanding of Hughes Field was really too superficial.

Because these British friends of Hughes Field were actually the commander of the Third Division of the British Army in Hong Kong and his adjutant.

Brigadier General William, commander of the British Army in Hong Kong, and Major Reims, adjutant;

Commodore Davis, commander of the British Navy in Hong Kong, and Adjutant Major Fell;

Brigadier General Adams, commander of the British Air Force in Hong Kong, and Major Barnes, adjutant.

Before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the British military strength in Hong Kong was overwhelming. The Governor of Hong Kong is also the Commander-in-Chief of the three armed forces in Hong Kong, but the actual command of the armed forces is controlled by the Commander of the British Armed Forces in Hong Kong, who is appointed by the British Ministry of Defence and is responsible to the Chief of Staff of the British Ministry of Defence.

The headquarters of the British armed forces in Hong Kong, as well as the army and navy headquarters, are located at the Royal Navy's Tamar Base on the waterfront in the central district of Hong Kong Island, while the air force headquarters is located at Shek Kong Air Base in the New Territories. …,

It can be said that Hughes Field's reception tonight can be regarded as the highest military meeting of the British army stationed in Hong Kong.

Through Hughes Field's casual chats with these British military bigwigs in Hong Kong in civilian clothes, Yang Weiping inadvertently obtained another important piece of information: Hughes Field is still holding the position of foreign military intelligence officer of the British MI5 and is attached to the Political Department of the Hong Kong Police Force.

After learning about the origin of these people, Yang Weiping's mind couldn't help but gradually become active.

After William, Davis, and Adams knew that Yang Weiping was an important business partner of Hughes Field, there was no longer any contempt in their eyes, especially when they heard Hughes Field say that Yang Weiping helped him solve the huge crisis he was facing, and the three British brigadier generals all despised it and turned it into attention.

As personal friends of Hughes Field, William, Davis, and Adams certainly knew what Hugh Field's previous predicament was, and they also felt sorry for Hugh Field because they couldn't do anything.

As Britons, they know very well what it means to be a candidate for the succession of the Field family.

Hughes Field had also wanted to ask them for help, but they couldn't think of effective ways and measures to get around, so they could only watch their best friend withdraw from the race for the family's succession.

Now listening to Hughes Field say that not only the problems have been solved, but also the most perfect answer sheet can be handed over to the family, they are happy for their friends, but also have a strong interest in Yang Weiping, a mysterious Oriental.

"Yang, since this new alloy you are researching, since it can replace chromium-molybdenum steel, and its strength is better and its weight is lighter, is it possible to apply it to the aviation field?" Adams asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Do you know, I am the Air Force, and the fuselage skin of the fighter is now basically made of aluminum alloy, I have heard that the Soviet Union is also developing a new type of aluminum-lithium alloy, if the 6063 alloy you invent can replace the aluminum-lithium alloy, I guarantee that you and Field can make a fortune." ”

Yang Weiping lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then said quietly: "For aluminum-lithium alloys, I have been researching all along. Although the tensile strength of 6063 alloy is high, the density is still slightly lacking compared with that of aluminum-lithium alloy. However, I also have a new alloy in my hand, which is a little stronger in terms of overall character than the X2020 alloy in the United States and the X1400 alloy in the Soviet Union. ”

"Are you sure this alloy is really stronger than the X2020 alloy in the United States and the X1400 alloy in the Soviet Union?" asked Adams, who was obviously quite knowledgeable about aviation materials, and his face became serious, and he asked with suspicion.

"At present, there are many laboratories and materials research institutes engaged in the research of second-generation aluminum-lithium alloys in various countries, and some of the achievements are actually stronger than the X2020 alloy of the United States and the X1400 alloy of the Soviet Union, but these achievements are laboratory samples and cannot be industrialized and mass-produced. Yang Weiping replied noncommittally: "Tiangong Aluminum is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the production and development of aluminum alloys, and new alloys with low density, high strength, high modulus and good corrosion resistance have always been the direction of our targeted research and development." ”

"Adams, let's only talk about Fengyue today, not about work, please don't talk about these boring topics with Yang, OK?" William smiled and pointed to several female companions standing in the garden chatting and said, "Yang, your female partner seems to have a little communication barrier with our girlfriend, you see, she is alone in the corner, it seems so out of place." ”

William didn't mention it, Yang Weiping also found out that Qiu Fang seemed to be snubbed in the garden, if it weren't for the fact that Hughes Field's female companion Joanna tonight is Hong Kong, can speak Chinese, and occasionally can help Qiu Fang translate a few sentences, plus Yang Weiping told her to try to learn some necessary social interactions, she would not have joined in this excitement at all. …,

Hearing William's interruption, Yang Weiping also took the opportunity to stop chatting with Adams on the topic of aluminum-lithium alloy, and hurriedly said sorry to the three British brigadier generals who were all dressed in casual clothes, and hurriedly walked towards the garden.

"Field, how credible do you think Yang is when he says he has a new alloy in his hand?" Adams looked at Yang Weiping's distant back and said intently.

"If Yang says there is, there must be. Hughes Field replied without hesitation: "He speaks and does things quite rigorously, and you will never say anything that you are not sure of." ”

"Field, I think it's necessary for you to pay enough attention to this new alloy!" Adams said with a rather solemn expression: "The United States, the Soviet Union, France, and Germany have all invested huge manpower, material and financial resources in the research of the second-generation aluminum-lithium alloy, but none of them have achieved any significant results. If Yang really has a new type of aluminum-lithium alloy in his hand, I hope you can find a way to get a sample from him. This is very important for the development of new fighters for the Royal Air Force of the British Empire!"

"Well, don't worry, I'll find a chance to talk to Yang. Hughes Field nodded earnestly.

"Field, did you call all three of us tonight just so that we could get to know and make friends with John Yang?" Davis asked as he looked at Yang Weiping, who was talking to Qiu Fang in a low voice in the garden.

"Yes, Davis. Hughes Field nodded solemnly and replied, "William, Adams, all three of you are good friends of mine, and I have a gut feeling that Young is a man of great ability! This time, I got so many precision machine tools from Europe, just at his request, his knowledge is extremely extensive, especially in the field of materials research is amazingly forward-looking and way of thinking. He is only 19 years old this year! What are we doing when we are his age?"

William, Adams, and Davis couldn't help frowning slightly, nodded thoughtfully, and all looked at Yang Weiping, who was admiring the moon with Qiufang in the garden.
