readx;?“ Yes? This time it was the turn of the iron slag to be surprised, he was just planning to try his luck, but he didn't expect that Master Ya not only knew, but also used to be a member of the Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry, it seems that he really found the right person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info burning? Literary Fiction ??.? r?a?n?? He just wanted to ask, but when he saw Master Ya's sad face, he let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Iron Slag asked.

"I'm afraid ......," Master Ya said in a feeble voice, closing his eyes, "I'm going to disappoint you." ”

The tone was full of desolation and sorrow, and the iron slag was involuntarily silent, quietly watching the old man, waiting for his next words. After a long silence, Master Ya removed his chair and beckoned Iron Slag to sit down, and sat down at the workbench to talk about the past......

One hundred and eighty years ago, after the final battle, Northern Heavy Industries, which had a close relationship with the Brilliant Faith, was forcibly split into three parts by the nascent World Council, which is now Harley Industries, Wilderness Heavy Industries, and the Great Wall Company.

The predecessor of Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry is the core layer of North Heavy Industry, including the elites of management, R&D, technology and other departments. At that time, the reason why these people ran away angrily and went to the central mainland to develop in poverty was to one day recreate the glory of the northern heavy industry. In the difficult living environment, they have created the best products with their hands and wisdom.

However, with the changes of the times, the internal division of Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry gradually emerged. Some of them want to live a better life, they don't want to make high-end products, they want to make low-end, more profitable ones; There are also some people who hope to get more investment, and suggest that they move closer to the nobles of Yincheng and sell their shares; There are even some people who propose to return to the Northern Wilderness and merge with the Great Wall Company or Wilderness Heavy Industries......

Lu Chengshan, the CEO of that generation, adhered to the tradition of Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries, and only produced the most high-end products while maintaining the purity of the shares, even if the orders were small. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change the declining status quo, let alone gather the scattered people's hearts, and finally died of exhaustion and on the desk.

Until sixteen years ago, due to the intensification of internal contradictions, the workers had no intention of working, so that production errors appeared. Two custom-built mechs had serious quality problems. Since then, the reputation of Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry has plummeted, coupled with huge compensation and the deliberate exclusion of mainstream society. As the so-called tree fell down, the wall fell and everyone pushed it, and this big tree that was shaking in the wind and rain finally collapsed.

Today's Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry is only an empty shell, those who have the ability to go out to make a living, and the rest are ordinary workers, barely surviving by undertaking mechanical maintenance and some small orders.

"That's the situation, that's probably it......" Master Ya said with his head down, his eyes dim, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden.

"Can you show me there?" After a moment of silence, Iron Slag raised his head and asked.

"Okay, it's time to go back and have a look......" Master Ya nodded thoughtfully, as if talking to himself.

Later, Iron Slag returns to the office and asks Quinn to prepare a jeep and go with him to Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries. Although Master Ya can be trusted, it doesn't mean that others can, so he has to bring Quinn to act for him.

Two hours later, when the vehicle was ready, Iron Slag drove a jeep to pick up Master Ya, then drove out of the plane gate, ate something in Quicksand Town, and went straight to the "Lizard City" in the north of the Central Continent.

Licheng is the location of Central Heavy Industry, a super-large ground industrial city, more than five times the size of Shacheng, and there are many small towns around it that focus on machining. And Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry is in one of the small towns called "Wind Mouth".

"Master Ya, do you still have the ability to make mechanical power armor?" After driving onto the highway, Tie Slag, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and asked towards Canghaiya.

"To be precise, it should be their ......," Cang Haiya sighed, "I've been gone for almost ten years, and I don't know what has become of it, but as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten ship has three nails, if it's an ordinary mechanical power armor, it shouldn't be much of a problem." ”

"Can the quality be guaranteed?" Iron Slag asked again.

"It depends on who ......you compare with," Cang Haiya said with a smile, "If it's the likes of Central Heavy Industry and Wilderness Heavy Industry, just throw them off a few streets." ”

"Even now?" Tie Slag was stunned and said, according to what the other party said before, the current Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry has fallen into disarray.

"Even now!" Cang Haiya said confidently, inadvertently, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

"What if it was before?" Iron slag can't help but wonder what the Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry was like in its heyday.

"If it had been put in the past, Harley Industries and RC Company would have been a fart!" Cang Haiya said angrily.

"Is it that powerful?" Iron Slag immediately questioned that he had been picking up garbage in Tieshan Town for many years, and he knew best which brand of things was valuable. The quality of Harley's products is absolutely top-notch, and every time it appears, the waste pickers will fight for it. The same parts can be sold several times more than those of other manufacturers, or even more than ten times.

"Young man, have you ever heard of the Wind Forest Volcano?" Cang Haiya didn't answer his question, but smiled and asked rhetorically.

"I've heard of it, but it's rare." Iron Slag replied truthfully, for the customized mecha, and it was for the use of the Source Force, he had never seen it.

"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain, this is our wind forest volcano, the most powerful mecha in the world." Cang Haiya said.

"Compared to the Tiger Mecha?" Iron Slag asked. Although he shouldn't compare the mass-produced mecha to the custom one, it was the most advanced mecha he had ever seen.

"It's not comparable, it's like a giant and a three-year-old, not on the same order of magnitude." Cang Haiya said.

At this time, Quinn, who was driving, couldn't help but interject and said, "Old man, you shouldn't be bragging." ”

"We have never needed to brag, the Temple doesn't like us, the World Council doesn't like us, but as far as I know, there are still eleven Wind Forest Volcanoes in the current Temple Crusaders, all of them have been in service for almost twenty years, and they are not willing to be eliminated, this is the best proof." Canghai Yaqi Yu said proudly.

"That's amazing!" Quinn sighed.

"It's just ......" Cang Haiya looked at the vehicles coming and going, suddenly sighed, and his eyes gradually dimmed, "Now I can't make the wind forest volcano of the year......

"Why?" Iron Slag asked.

"......I don't know," Cang Haiya shook his head and said, "It's taken you for years, and you can't find the reason......" He thought for a while, and then said, "It stands to reason that the technology is much more advanced and the equipment is much more complete than a hundred years ago, but somehow, the wind forest volcano is getting worse and worse, and one generation is not as good as the next......"

As he spoke, Canghaiya fell into deep thought, and Iron Slag and Quinn did not bother him, one continued to concentrate on driving, and the other dozed off.

A few hours later, as the sun went down and night fell, the jeep pulled off the highway and stopped at a nearby bar. Due to the long distance, the trio decided to rest for the night and set off again tomorrow morning.

The bar was bustling with businessmen, and some aunts wearing aprons and white turbans held their plates aloft and squeezed through the noisy crowd. Most of the customers here are passing small traders or shirtless truck drivers with tattoos.

During dinner, Cang Haiya talked eloquently about the strengths and characteristics of the major group companies in the world.

First up are the two high-end manufacturers, Harley Industries and RC.

Halle Industries was formed by the merger of the high-end products division of Northern Heavy Industries and the furnace smelter in Lombar, the Gordon Ordnance Factory in North Lombar, and the Mark-Maschinen-Maschinenfabrik in Lombal Jr. Due to Lombar's abundant financial resources, and the pursuit of an elite policy, the recruitment of a large number of outstanding talents, coupled with the fact that 70% of the senior technical personnel of Northern Heavy Industry were later poached, Harley Industry developed very rapidly, and in just 20 years, it became a world-famous high-end brand.

The biggest advantage of Harley-Davidson is its metal smelting technology, which produces steel products with much higher parameters than those of the same type. It is precisely because of the good steel that Harley Industries is ahead of its peers in engine technology, which is why Harley's mechanical parts are particularly valuable.

The predecessor of RC Company was RC Precision Instrument Factory, and in the earliest days, they were famous for producing test instruments. Their greatest strength lies in their cautious and rigid management style, where their employees are like sophisticated robots that almost never make mistakes. It is said that the floor of RC company is extremely clean, and even if it is wiped with a clean dust-free cloth for hundreds of square meters, it will not become dirty and black. Due to their outrageously meticulous work attitude, they are outstanding in seamless welding, integrated circuits, pipeline manufacturing, memory metals, etc.

And then down, it is commonly known as the three major heavy industries, such as the wilderness heavy industry, the central heavy industry and the western heavy industry.

Wilderness Heavy Industry is formed by the merger of the mid-end product department of North Heavy Industry and dozens of smelters, machinery factories and ordnance factories in the south of the city. Therefore, they have a great advantage in industrial mass production, which can ensure the output and quality at the same time. From a strategic point of view, Wilderness Heavy Industries' status is definitely much higher than that of Harley Industries.

Central Heavy Industry is the world's largest machinery manufacturer in Yincheng, and its scale is twice as large as that of North Heavy Industry and Western Heavy Industry, accounting for 35% of the world's machinery products market share. Her advantages are big, and her disadvantages are also big, and the product quality is the lowest among the three major heavy industries.

As for Western Heavy Industries, it is the oldest machinery manufacturer, dating back more than 2,000 years to a car factory. Due to the very strict management of the environment in the western continent, the production of Western Heavy Industry has been greatly restricted, so that most of their products are exquisite and environmentally friendly, such as the famous flamingo, and the materials used are much more economical than other mechas.

Finally, there are low-end machinery manufacturers, Great Wall companies and many small and medium-sized machinery manufacturers. In the low-end field, the Great Wall Company is one of the leaders, both in terms of output and quality, there is a certain guarantee. The most famous is the Great Wall pickup, which is reliable and durable, cheap and good, and is the favorite of the Elta people; In addition, there are eight ** trucks after the Great Wall, engineering mecha "Hercules" and "diggers", all of which are the favorites of low-level workers.
