After arriving in Boulogne-Billancourt, Qin Zhiyuan's heart was in turmoil.

Qin Zhiyuan's ideal is to revive the Chinese nation. In this process, Qin Zhiyuan will realize his personal value.

The two are not contradictory.

Qin Zhiyuan is also a human being and will have his own pursuits. Especially after experiencing the debauchery of another society, on some quiet nights, physiological needs will be stronger. But the difference between humans and animals is that humans can control their desires, and Qin Zhiyuan's self-control ability is beyond the norm, so Qin Zhiyuan can restrain himself from becoming a beast.

This restraint is most obvious in Misha and Julie.

With all kinds of complicated thoughts, Qin Zhiyuan was a little absent-minded when listening to Pierce's report.

"...The engine problem is easy to solve. We have existing finished products. With a little modification, they can be used on tanks. There is a question. Why do we use diesel engines? Can't we use gasoline engines?" Pierce talked endlessly around a newly built model.

Qin Zhiyuan was so distracted that he was two body lengths away from Pierce.

"Qin, are you listening?" Pierce was a little helpless to have such a boss.

Researchers hate their bosses to be absent-minded when listening to reports. The degree of hatred is equivalent to the hatred of wives for their husbands thinking about other women when they are in bed.

"Yes, I am listening. Pierce, there are benefits to using diesel. The biggest one is that it reduces the possibility of being hit by bullets and catching fire. You know, this is an iron can. If it is hit by bullets and catches fire, then the crew members will have nowhere to escape." Qin Zhiyuan came back to his senses, shook his head to get rid of those inappropriate thoughts, and focused on the work in front of him.

This model was produced using a crawler tractor production line, and it is somewhat similar to the FT-17 in another time and space. In order to meet the requirements of Qin Zhiyuan, that is, the military, the vehicle is about 4.5 meters long, 1.9 meters wide, and 2.3 meters high, which is larger than the FT-17 in another time and space. This is because Qin Zhiyuan attaches great importance to protection. To install thicker steel plates will inevitably increase the weight of the tank and the body of the tank, which will also affect the speed and flexibility of the tank.

Compared with speed and flexibility, Qin Zhiyuan pays more attention to protection. It's like playing League of Legends. You can only output if you survive.

Because of the appearance of Qin Zhiyuan, France's tank research did not take a detour. It was on the right track from the beginning. The research progress was very fast. Now, except for some problems with the suspension device, it basically meets the requirements of the military. Of course, such a tank is still far from Qin Zhiyuan's cognition. However, under the current objective conditions, it is impossible to ask for higher requirements. The current tank has brought together all the high-tech technologies of France.

"Well, if you use a diesel engine to provide power as you wish, then the speed may not meet the requirements. If the engine horsepower is increased, the volume of the fuel tank will be reduced, which will affect the tank's cruising range." Pierce took off the pencil clipped on his ear and continued to write and draw in the notebook.

"Add an external oil barrel, and use the oil in the barrel at ordinary times. When the war starts, remove the barrel and go into battle lightly." Such a small problem is not difficult for Qin Zhiyuan at all.

Compared with Mills, Qin Zhiyuan may not have enough professional knowledge, but Qin Zhiyuan has a changeable mindset and a broad vision.

Such a person is most suitable to be a leader.

Seeing the model of the tank, Qin Zhiyuan was excited and asked to sit in it and try it himself.

Mills agreed to Qin Zhiyuan's request, climbed up the track with great effort, and opened the top cover of the tank himself.

Qin Zhiyuan sat in and tried it. The top can indeed rotate 360 ​​degrees, but the riveting is not strong enough. I am afraid that the vibration of the vehicle body will be relatively large when it starts. This tank has not yet been equipped with weapons and engines. It is just a model and cannot be further experienced.

"Very good, let's make one according to this standard and try it out first." Qin Zhiyuan was very satisfied. The model came out in such a short time, and the progress was beyond Qin Zhiyuan's expectations.

"Okay, it will take about a week to produce it. If it passes the test, then production can begin." Mills is only responsible for design, not production, so it is impossible to estimate the output.

"This is not something we need to worry about. We just propose and determine the plan. Mr. Louis Renault is responsible for production." Qin Zhiyuan is not worried about Renault's production capacity.

There is no way to worry. Renault is the largest manufacturer in France. If Renault can't do it, other French companies can't do it either.

After inspecting the progress, Qin Zhiyuan's main work has been completed, and he can take time to deal with some personal matters.

Qin Zhiyuan first paid attention to the living conditions of Chinese workers in Renault factories. The two Chinese workers' representatives reported it. One was Zhang Tianyun, from Jinan, Shandong; the other was Zhou Hongguang, from Baoding, Zhili.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"There are nearly 7,000 Chinese workers in the Renault factory now, and they are widely distributed, from mechanical processing to assembly of production lines. Basically, wherever there are workers, Chinese people can be seen." Zhang Tianyun is the chief Chinese worker representative appointed by Qin Zhiyuan, responsible for the placement of all Chinese workers.

Zhang Tianyun is also from the old Beiyang family. His father, like Qin Zhiyuan's father, served in the Beiyang Fleet and died in that war. The difference is that Zhang Tianyun was born at that time, while Qin Zhiyuan's father was not yet born when he died.

"We have implemented a rotation system, that is, if a worker is not adapted to a position, he can apply for a transfer. About 800 people have not adapted to their work, and most of them can do their jobs after the transfer. Mr. Louis Renault is very satisfied with this. He mentioned a few days ago that he wants to recruit more Chinese into the factory." Zhang Tianyun's work is very effective. It is not an easy task to turn more than 7,000 farmers into workers.

The current industrial production is still in its infancy. There are no precision machines or CNC machine tools. Therefore, as long as you work hard, you can get started quickly. Even if some of you are not used to it, you can change your position.

A factory with more than 100,000 people always has various jobs, from research institutes to porters. Even if you are not competent for technical jobs, you can go to the warehouse or the porter team and find a job by selling your strength. If you can't even do these, it's not a technical problem, but an attitude problem.

"Some foreigners are prejudiced against us. They either say weird things in a yin-yang tone or find faults with their noses and eyes. Since we entered the factory, nearly a hundred workers have been punished to varying degrees. Some have had their wages deducted, and some have been kept in the factory for observation." Zhou Hongguang is a student studying in France. He is responsible for translation work and communication with the factory.

"Yes, Miss Julie helped us a lot. If it weren't for her, many of our people would have been fired." Zhang Tianyun added from the side.

Julie, Qin Zhiyuan thought of those tearful eyes again.
