Chapter 7 The Real Hole Cards
When the moon was bright, there were several jeeps speeding on the rugged mountain road, and Zhuo Fei and Angela were sitting in one of the jeeps, and the place they were going to now was the weapons laboratory of the Umbrella Company in the mountains. Ruili's weapons research room is just a trick put on the table by the umbrella company, but the weapons laboratory, which is actually regarded as the top secret by the umbrella company, is set up in the vast mountains north of Ruili, for this reason, Angela does not hesitate to transfer most of the foreign mercenaries of the umbrella company to serve as guards.
"The guards here are all our own people from the umbrella company, and all the mercenaries I have selected are mercenaries with families, and their families are placed in the Ruili settlement, so we don't have to worry that these mercenaries will leak the secrets of the weapons laboratory to the outside world." Angela whispered to Zhuo Fei about some of the situation in the weapons laboratory, and Zhuo Fei didn't have to worry about Angela's management ability.
The convoy drove in the mountains for more than an hour, and finally stopped in front of a mountain wall, where several armed mercenaries in camouflage uniforms appeared silently around the convoy. Although they saw that it was their boss who got out of the jeep, these mercenaries with loaded guns did not relax there, but carefully inspected the jeep that Zhuo Fei and they were riding in strict accordance with the regulations, and then after checking everyone's passes, they raised their hands to salute Zhuo Fei.
A large hole suddenly appeared in the stone wall overgrown with vines, and a steel gate painted with camouflage color like a stone wall slowly opened, and Zhuo Fei and the others, who had re-boarded the car, drove into the cave according to the instructions of the mercenaries. Zhuo Fei looked at the bright tunnel illuminated by the lights with interest, and listened to Angela's soft introduction, "The mercenaries stationed here only recognize passes, and they will never rush to open the passage just because they know visitors, and there is no need to worry about the safety here." ”
The tunnel was not very long, and before Angela could finish his words, Zhuo Fei only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the convoy had already driven out of the tunnel into an open field shaped like a valley. "This place was discovered by an exploration team that went out to explore copper mines, and there are few people in a radius of dozens of miles, and there are hot springs and open space in this valley that is spacious enough to house the families of those engineers, so I put the weapons research institute here."
When Angela said this, she kept looking at Zhuo Fei worriedly, for fear that Zhuo Fei would be angry because of her own assertions. Xu Shi had already sensed the worry revealed in Angela's words, Zhuo Fei said with a smile, "You did a good job, I also think it's good here, the Weapons Research Institute is the biggest hole card in our umbrella, so naturally it can't be exposed casually." It's a good place, hidden and suitable for recuperation, those technicians can also relax appropriately, and the combination of work and rest will allow them to play a greater value. ”
After receiving Zhuo Fei's praise, Angela's mood suddenly improved a lot, and the convoy slowly stopped outside a small wooden two-story building along the street lamp. Bao Man, who had been waiting here for a long time, stepped forward to open the car door for Zhuo Fei, but ushered in a hug from Zhuo Fei, "Bao Man, long time no see, thank you for your hard work." Zhuo Fei's soft words made Bowman's heart warm, and the grievances of the people who were stationed here were instantly swept away, and all that was left was excitement and satisfaction.
was transferred to garrison this valley, although Bowman knew the importance of the task he undertook, but let himself be a mercenary team leader in such a wilderness, Bowman felt a little aggrieved in his heart. Zhuo Fei's arrival made Bao Man's grievances completely lost, not to mention that Zhuo Fei also whispered to him that this task will not be very long, and once there is a suitable candidate, Bao Man will be transferred out of here immediately.
"What did you just say to Bowman? I think Bowman will wake up laughing from a dream tonight. When going to the laboratory, Angela asked Zhuo Fei in a whisper, and Bowman's expression did not escape Angela's eyes.
"Bowman is a born warrior, he shouldn't be wasted here just being a guard, I promised him, as long as I find the right person, I will transfer him away." Zhuo Fei tilted his head sideways and whispered to Angela's inquiry, if these words were heard by Bowman, he would probably cause a storm because of his damn self-esteem, so Zhuo Fei deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke.
Angela did not agree with Zhuo Fei's answer, but only pouted. At the beginning, it was said that the most important person in the weapons research institute was Zhuo Fei, and Angela was in charge of the entire Ruili, so she naturally wanted to use her most reliable person to guard here, but this matter changed the taste in Zhuo Fei's mouth, and it sounded like he had wasted Bowman's ability in vain. With Bowman's guidance, Zhuo Fei and his party soon entered a building made of reinforced concrete, Zhuo Fei didn't care too much about the slightly simple layout on his side, what he really cared about was the busy engineers in front of him.
After passing through two lines of defense composed of heavy machine guns and steel machine gun nests, Zhuo Fei and the others were finally able to enter a slightly empty hall, in which more than 100 scientists and engineers from various countries wearing white coats were immersed in their respective work. "At present, there are 1,530 scientists and engineers from various countries in the weapons research institute, the most of them from Germany and the United States, and we pay them three times or more than their own country." Angela's voice sounded in Zhuo Fei's ears, which made Zhuo Fei, who was secretly surprised, come back to his senses.
Vivien had kidnapped a large number of skilled workers from Poland, the Czech Republic, and a number of other European countries, who had been mixed in with Jewish refugees and sent to Ruili. Unfortunately, they don't appreciate it, and they'd rather continue to live in a war-torn country than accept our high salaries to work for us, and if they don't, there will be twice as many researchers here. When it comes to the size and number of people at the Weapons Institute, Angela's words are filled with pride.
"Talent is just software, those technical talents kidnapped by Vivian will sooner or later work for us, and I'm just worried about whether the hardware facilities here, that is, the various mechanical equipment they need, can be met." Weapons research is also inseparable from the support of mechanical equipment, just having enough theories and not the equipment to realize these theories, this weapons research institute of the umbrella company can only be on paper, which is the last thing Zhuo Fei wants to see.
"There is no problem with the equipment, Uncle Andy ordered the machinery and equipment we needed from the pharmaceutical factory for half a year's income, Vivian and they withdrew, the machinery and equipment from the United States had already arrived in Yangon, and we have now been able to produce some basic equipment and lathes, and the German technicians at the Ordnance Base said that as long as there are enough materials and time, they can also manufacture production lines and equipment for the production of medium tanks." Angela casually handed Zhuo Fei a booklet and opened one of the pages for Zhuo Fei to see.
"This is the equipment base of the entire weapons research institute, and the equipment we got from various European countries will be temporarily stored here, and as long as the respective teams in the research room have relevant research plans and directions, the base will issue equipment and materials according to their plans, and if they can't meet their needs, the base will notify me, and I will send a telegram to the United States to ask them to find a way to collect the equipment and materials we need, and the whole process will not take more than a month."
Angela's explanation made Zhuo Fei very satisfied, he has countless advanced ideas and concepts for these researchers, and these researchers will carry out detailed research and improvement according to the ideas and ideas they put forward, once a feasible theory is formed, coupled with the efforts of a huge number of equipment technicians, these cross-era concepts proposed by themselves are likely to form facts. As soon as he thought of this, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but smile, as if the sharp weapons that existed in his mind had really been placed in front of him.
After seeing many classified research laboratories in one department after another, Zhuo Fei has never expressed his interest or opinions, which somewhat worries the person in charge of the entire weapons research institute. "Director House, you don't have to worry, the boss is such a character. Not to mention you, even those of us who followed him at the earliest, have never been able to understand the true character of the boss. But I can assure you that the boss will be happy with the Weapons Institute, because I happen to know what the boss is interested in, and you happen to be making progress on that kind of thing. ”
Angela said it easily, but House, who was the director of the weapons research institute, did not feel that he could relax at all, compared to the many researchers here, he was a real layman in weapons research, and if it weren't for the fact that he had managed a large food company in the United States, he might not be able to be the director here. Xu sensed the nervousness and uneasiness in House's heart, and Angela softly reassured, "Director House, don't worry, our boss is very talkative." ”
The more Angela said this, the more nervous House's heart became, but Zhuo Fei didn't pay attention to these conversations between the two of them at the moment, because Zhuo Fei's entire mind was already focused on the laboratory in front of him at the moment. Through the thick glass window, Zhuo Fei could clearly see that in the laboratory inside the glass window, several researchers in protective suits were filling a cylindrical metal container with a liquid emitting white mist.
There was no nameplate on the door of this research room, but Zhuo Fei had already vaguely guessed that this was a research room, especially since he was very interested in the liquid that could release mist. Several researchers in the research room finally carefully filled the liquid into the cylindrical container, but at this time, Zhuo Fei had been lying outside the small glass window and staring intently for more than ten minutes, and his mouth was constantly muttering to himself.
