Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 957 The Eve of Departure
During the next three days, Zhou Rui was busy with his little job.

Integrated die-casting technology is not purely based on "pressing" as many people imagine, it also involves liquid metal "casting".

However, Zhou Rui did not plan to start from the step of ore refining, but directly from the purified "titanium alloy ingot", which would save a lot of effort.

Some parts of the "Xingtian Fighter", mainly the frame and some connecting parts, need to be redesigned to make it a whole.

The titanium alloy ingot is heated to about 1700°C in an electric furnace, then poured into a mold, where it is forced to solidify rapidly under pressure of tens of thousands of tons, condensing hundreds or even thousands of parts into a large component with a complex structure.

Efficiency is improved, cost is reduced, automation is easy, and overall stability is greatly improved.

The difficulty is purely an engineering design problem. Whether it is a pressure of 1700 tons or a temperature of °C, it is not too high-end in the industrial field, but it is difficult to integrate them together, especially to serve large and advanced things like aerospace fighters.

By the way, integrating it with the subsequent processes of the production line and embedding it into large-scale production also requires a certain level of expertise, and Zhou Rui is preparing to make it intelligent.

It is impossible to build it in three days, after all, the equipment is not complete, but the design can be done first.

Zhou Rui activated the "top of humanity" talents in multiple related fields, then spent some time to supplement some knowledge that seemed very simple to him, and began to lead people to start designing.

In fact, the preparation work took two days, and the pure design work only took one day.

He started directly from actual needs and planned in Factory No. 5 from the very beginning to ensure that it could be installed on site and used directly.

This part of the equipment occupies a large area, but the factory building of the Wanhu base is designed for large-scale industry and can accommodate it.

On the contrary, thanks to the fact that thousands of parts can be completed in one step, some space can be saved after future molding.

The new equipment aroused the curiosity of many engineers, and Che Qian often circled around Zhou Rui like a butterfly.

"Boss, how efficient and productive is this design?"

Zhou Rui was drawing on the computer. Most of the time, he was defenseless against Che Qian, and the integrated die-casting was not a very important secret:

"How high? Even if the entire industry chain is stretched, it won't be enough. Just counting the 'large die-casting racks', one machine costs 45 minutes per machine, 32 per day, and about 12000 per year."

One machine, twelve thousand a year?

How can this be called aircraft manufacturing? For example, the annual production of the J-200 does not exceed aircraft, and this is the result of all four production lines being intelligent, otherwise it would be cut in half.
The total number of fighter jets of all types in the world is 12,000 per year, but it is not even a fraction of this number.

It is indeed the extent that even the entire industry chain cannot afford it.
"Then do we still need to use this technology? After all, it has its drawbacks, doesn't it?"

Zhou Rui said without looking back: "We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. It's better to have some idle equipment than to have none. Twelve thousand is not enough, why not try to afford 1000?"

“I don’t think we can afford even 1000.”

"I will provide this technology to the upstream of the industry chain. Take your time. This thing has many uses."

Taking advantage of one's own technological advantages to reversely optimize one's own suppliers is also a unique operation of powerful companies.

The weak are constrained by suppliers, while the strong will regulate the suppliers.

The whip is hitting you from behind, let me evolve!

On the morning of August 8st, the east side of Factory No. 31 had not yet taken shape, but the site and framework had been divided.

Zhou Rui has completed most of the design work, and the rest will have to wait for the ordered materials and equipment to arrive. He has given the plan to the engineers below, and they will try it out themselves when the things arrive.

After the G20 is over, he will come back to check the progress.

"You guys figure out the rest first. If you don't understand, call me."

Clapping his hands, Zhou Rui walked out of the factory.

The unmanned factory vehicle drove towards the office building, and Zhou Rui was scrolling through his phone out of boredom.

Then he brushed past a car coming from the opposite direction.

When Che Qian saw the boss, he subconsciously hid the things in his hands behind him, but his body was too thick and his arms were too short to hide them.

When they passed by, Zhou Rui glared at him and said, "You're destroying my sunflowers again!"

Che Qian was holding most of the flower disk, on which a small part of the melon seeds had been picked out, and he smiled awkwardly.

This thing is a bit addictive. And you can't buy it on the market.
The two cars were getting farther and farther away. Zhou Rui said to the small sprinkler in his sleeve: "Next time he steals, use the drone to pour water on his head."

One or two flower disks are nothing, the key is that this guy pointed to a place and pulled them out, and he pulled out a corner of the sunflower field.

Xiaohuashao: "Already tried. He holds an umbrella."

Zhou Rui:.
Forget it, let him eat. Let him get fat to death.

After changing out of work clothes in the office building and meeting up with Lin Tuo and others, Zhou Rui got in the car and headed towards the city. He was going to Hangzhou tomorrow, but he had an appointment today.
----

A large gym in Yangshupu District, Shanghai.

This place is divided into many different areas, including the weight loss aerobic area, the muscle building equipment area, the beauty yoga area, and the show-off boxing ring area.

Most men who exercise, including boxing or Sanda, are simply obsessed with it and want to show off because they are obsessed with male hormones.

A small number of women are interested in this, mostly because they want to learn some self-defense methods.

The same goes for Tong Xin. As a single woman, she always feels that there is no harm in learning something.

If you encounter a criminal, you can at least look more powerful, right?

But today, she was somewhat absent-minded and looked towards the door from time to time.

At this time, a female coach was teaching Tong Xin one-on-one.

"Footwork is the soul of boxing. Whether it is attack, defense, or rhythm, it all depends on footwork. Many people who play boxing are always eager to swing their fists, but this is actually wrong."

"Let's start with the basic L-shaped step to get a feel for it. Stand with your legs apart and move your front foot to the back foot."

Tong Xin imitated her coach's movements and walked back and forth on the ring.

I can't say they are exactly the same, I can only say they have nothing to do with each other.

It's even a little silly and cute, like a drunk cat, who is about to get off the ring after completing a set of footwork.

She has not been very athletic since she was a child, and her figure matured early, so she is not willing to exercise.
The female coach broke out in a cold sweat.

Missed class? Is this Pilates?
Tong Xin looked up at the coach. "Hmm? Wasn't she in front of me just now? When did she move to my left?"

"Am I doing okay?"

A voice suddenly came from the side: "It's almost there. You can imagine a target so that it's not easy to turn around."

This voice was all too familiar to her.

Tong Xin didn't turn around immediately, but subconsciously tried to tidy up her messy hair.

There was a "pop" sound, not too loud.

She forgot she was wearing boxing gloves and punched herself lightly.

Zhou Rui suppressed his laughter: "Look, when people get confused, they start beating each other."

Tong Xin's face turned red, and Zhou Rui just watched with a smile.

In just a short while, I received three more experience points.

He suddenly felt that the progress of [Time Management Master] might be the progress of someone else's strategy.

The distance between the two people, which had been drifting apart in recent years, seemed to be gradually getting closer.

Not far away, Jia Xingjian and the driver Lao Wang were still the two working together.

Using the excuse of a one-day gym experience, four or five people from the security team came in and set up positions in various places.

As for why these two people became a fixed pairing, it was mainly because Jia Xingjian was too prone to trouble and someone had to keep him under control. Lin Tuo himself had to focus on Zhou Rui and had no time, so he sent out the deputy captain Lao Wang who was working secretly.

You can not only manage them, but also train them through observation and learning.

"Deputy Captain Wang, our President Zhou has many female confidantes."

Lao Wang saw that Jia Xingjian was about to start his usual nagging, so he said directly: "I told you not to call me deputy captain, call me Lao Wang! Also, be careful with your words and actions, and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

"Hey, what's wrong with saying this? With Mr. Zhou's status, the country is hoping that he will have more children~ By the way, Brother Wang, I think this girl should be Mr. Zhou's earliest girlfriend. Why is their relationship so weird now? Did they break up before?"

Lao Wang's eyes widened: "How did you know that?"

Can this also show the order of precedence?
Even they didn't know much about what happened before Zhou Rui's rise, especially the love affairs.

Jia Xingjian chuckled, "It's obvious that they are still in love. Judging from the way they get along, it should be the same as when they were students. From the ones I've seen, this one should be the first one to have a relationship, and they've been estranged for a while. It doesn't seem like they're celebrating a holiday, but more like they have something on their mind."

"Captain Lin told me to use my brain more and make more progress. Do you think I should give General Manager Zhou a plan? According to my analysis, after three glasses of wine, this girl should be relieved. It's best to do it in a noisy place, such as a bar or KTV. Hey, Deputy Captain Wang, why are you covering my mouth?"
