CH.23 The Eve of the Upheaval (12)
Tie Xiang was a little dazzled, in this huge field that was so spacious that he could build several football fields, there were not many staff members in sight, and even if there were, they were wearing the same fully sealed disinfectant suits as Tie Xiang and Jones, silent and silent, like a humanoid machine. The assembly line of the entire field is automatically controlled by hundreds of computers with manipulators of different sizes for precise and meticulous welding, which brings the efficiency to the extreme. Tie Xiang couldn't hold his tongue, and turned to ask Jones through the intercom: "So you don't have to pay a salary?" ”
Jones also sighed a little: "yes." When the efficiency reaches this point, there is really no need for labor. It is faster than manual precision cutting, and although this has caused a joint protest from the craftsmen who learned this craft in the old days, it is a general trend......"
Tie Xiang also said some good words from time to time: "In fact, the machine cannot completely replace everything, such as sales, the machine is impossible to say the truth, it must be humane." So Mr. Jones, you, the sales director, no matter how Ganggu Technology develops, will not be laid off. ”
Jones was really useful: "Accept your good words!" Promise your good words! Then his expression darkened again: "I hope so......" He didn't dare to say more, so as not to violate the bottom line of Steel Valley.
A huge field, plus the R&D department, is almost not lost to the outside pedestrian street distance, but Tie Xiang is not tired at all, there are also automatic electric tracks for internal high-level personnel to visit and accept, the two of them just stand up, and they are very comfortably transported to various places to watch the details. Of course, there are indeed reservations about the content of the introduction of research and development, but Tie Xiang didn't listen carefully, didn't understand it, and didn't care. Then Jones took him to visit the seventeen brands and more than two hundred branch series of Ganggu Daye, until Tie Xiang was really a little tired, he pretended to summarize and praised the advanced and Jones's enthusiasm here, and then pondered how to lead the words to himself to leave.
Just as he was looking left and right, he suddenly saw more than a dozen good-looking large trucks parked in the south, all of them pure white, and he was a little curious: "Jones, are those cars refrigerated trucks?" ”
"It's not. White is a customer's request, in order to protect from sun exposure. ”
Perhaps more sensitive to this topic, Tie Xiang couldn't help but ask: "What will be in it?" ”
"I didn't say this, the customer didn't say it, we just made it according to the requirements, and it was not easy to ask. The car is completely sealed and does not get into a little sunlight. ”
Tie Xiang said "oh" a few times, and then stepped forward to look. Jones didn't know why he was suddenly so interested in this and followed suit.
Suddenly, Tie Xiang saw that in the middle of the two trucks, there was also a Rolls-Royce shining with white light.
"This ...... This is also custom-made by the customer? ”
"Yes, it is handmade, and it should be customary to use sterling silver for the logo and some important parts of the car, but the customer resolutely does not want to, so we use aluminum alloy."
"Don't like silver?" Tie Xiang repeated it again, but he asked tentatively, "Look...... Can we sit down and feel it? Never been in a Rolls-Royce ......"
Jones's face was grim.
"Forget it...... Tie Xiang pretended to understand, "You've done well enough, I remember everything......"
Jones hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, you can sit down." It's just that this car really can't be test-driven, but it's okay to feel it, and you're not an outsider! ”
Tie Xiang sat in, and as soon as he closed the door, he felt that something was wrong, it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see anything!
Tie Xiang was a little frightened and couldn't help shouting, Jones hurriedly opened the car door and said apologetically, "Mr. Tie, I haven't had time to tell you yet." You also know that this kind of ultra-luxury car with a price of 600,000 steel pounds, as long as it walks on the highway or other straight roads, is equipped with a miniature intelligent computer, can carry out simple automatic driving, and will brake in time in case of danger to protect the life of the driver and other passengers. So this car can run the road while watching a movie. We have recently introduced 3D cinema technology, which allows passengers sitting in the back seat to enjoy 3D blockbuster movies and 3D games, which is extremely realistic and exciting, but in this case, the front and rear seats need to be separated, and the windows, film and rear interior are made of special advanced materials in all directions, avoiding natural light, including sunlight and other artificial lights, so that the rear seat members can enter a completely dark world, so that they can better enjoy the huge sensory stimulation brought by 3D movies and games. But somehow, this customer asked for this technology in the front seats, that is, he asked for complete darkness in the whole car. Although we have kindly warned that the electronic driving system cannot completely replace human operation, it is all computer-driven, and the driver and passengers will take a lot of risks by watching movies or playing games together. But the customer is more insistent on his opinion, and the car must be completely separated from the sun......"
Watch a fart movie, play a fart game? Where are they doing this? The more Tie Xiang listened, the more shocked he became, sweating profusely. He understood that Liu Yan must have done his best to prevent the end of the world, so the end of the world, which should have come a year later, was delayed for six years, but when would it be delayed? The unification of the steel valley around the world, although the rule is harsh, is not the end of the world as Liu Yan said, the end of the world that needs a strong shelter, ultraviolet lamps and reserve grain, is by no means caused by the steel valley, and presumably the steel valley may not be able to support it...... He suddenly felt that there was no keyhole under the steering wheel.
Jones didn't see his expression, and saw him looking for the keyhole, so he continued to explain: "According to the customer's requirements, this car is ...... with voice-activated technology" Tie Xiang was suddenly startled, and secretly thought: "Although there are differences in human voices, it is not impossible to rely on computer simulation." But if ...... 'they' were ...... in their own voices," he remembered the night he met Liu Yan, the blood-sucking monster that howled in the dark night......
Suddenly, Tie Xiang's heart was clenched fiercely by the invisible hand, and with a sharp pain, he climbed out of the car door, and climbed several meters before stopping, squatting down, he really didn't want to stay in the car in which this monster was riding for another second. Jones was startled when he saw him like this, and hurried to help.
Tie Xiang took a few breaths and asked, "Is it really inconvenient for you to tell me who the customer of this car is?" ”
"This ...... Seriously, it's inconvenient for us to disclose, and we're not very clear. ”
"What if I told you that it was about my secret mission? What is related to the stability of the steel valley? ”
Jones's eyes widened, he hesitated, and said, "Actually...... We also thought it strange at the time, and we were afraid that the upper echelons would investigate it, so we followed that person for a while...... It seems to have disappeared into the western side of the coast...... But the upper echelons also seemed to have been greeted and said that they didn't need to pay too much attention to it......"
"Yongxing Fishery ......!" Tie Xiang's heart was heavily marked with these four words, and he deeply felt that perhaps the middle level of Ganggu in the region was also infiltrated by "them......
Jones saw that his expression was peculiar, and he even gritted his teeth, and did not dare to ask more. After a long time, Tie Xiang took out a crumpled piece of paper from his body and handed it to Jones: "You follow this, help me transform the snow rhino LETO, don't tell anyone, I must complete the mission ......!" ”
The mission he said was naturally not a nonsense "mission given to him by Huo Xinyan", but Jones saw that his eyes were firm and he did not doubt it, but he was shocked when he saw clearly the sketch drawn very clumsily with a pencil. The car on the drawing needs to be equipped with two-rod discharge electric guns on both sides of the air intake grille, the car glass needs bulletproof glass, and the trunk needs two chainsaws that can be folded and popped out, and new buttons are added in the cab for automatic control.
"...... are you? Is it going to war? ”
"Also, you introduced me to the Snow Rhino Leto, and the number one reason I chose it was because its lights were split. You help me change the headlights of the front and rear lights to xenon lamps and another auxiliary lamp according to the convention...... Make it into a UV lamp. ”
"Ultraviolet light?" Jones' mouth opened wide.
"Yes, UV lamps. Thank you for helping me today," Tie Xiang walked out without looking back, "I will praise your ...... in front of Xinyan" and at this time, in his mind, he had already decided to find an opportunity to cause a fire and destroy all the cars that this group of ghosts had booked.
After Tie Xiang left, he beckoned a taxi: "Master, go to Yongxing Fishery." He dialed Chen Zhuangmin's mobile phone: "Hey, Brother Chen, it's me, Tie Xiang, didn't you hear it?" That was the day...... Hey, don't, I'm not a hero, how can I be, it's just a coincidence...... Okay, big brother, you can eat anywhere, a treat is a must...... Well, I'm not going to go over and see you, don't make a noise, don't...... Hey, hey? Miscellaneous...... What the? ”
He paused and asked with difficulty, "She...... Does she have a boyfriend? …… Been together for several years? ”
