Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Nova Auto Factory, somewhere

A wrinkled man in his 47s or 48s, wearing work clothes and holding cleaning tools, had a shrewd look in his cloudy eyes. He carefully looked around and then walked towards the hut where the cleaning team stored their supplies.

As soon as he reached the door, he pretended not to care and put down the mop and bucket on the ground, took out a loose cigarette without a handle from his pocket, took out a match, squatted at the door and started smoking.

Breathed a sigh of enjoyment

Before I could enjoy it, a young man in his twenties came out from the back of the house and yelled at me.

"Old Sun, why are you slacking off here instead of going to work?"

“It’s outrageous”

"Everyone is at their workstations at this hour, but you sneak back here to smoke a cigarette."

"I don't think you want this month's subsidy."

As he spoke, the young man walked forward, grabbed Old Man Sun's shoulder and suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Have you gone up and confirmed it?"

"In which room are the drawings kept?"

Old Man Sun explained loudly

"Secretary Wang, I'm not being lazy"

"The mop head is broken, I came back to change the tool"

Then he said quietly

"No one is allowed to approach the corridor I go to."

“They clean up after themselves.”

"But fortunately there was only one person on duty inside, and there were no protective measures in the corridor."

"If you want to get into the drawing room, you can only find a way at night"

Secretary Wang groaned, let go of Old Man Sun and criticized

"Old man Sun, the factory thinks you've worked hard so they arranged an easy job for you."

“You better get your attitude right”

"Hurry up and get your things to your workstation. I just walked around the office building and you can see how dirty the floor is."

"Let me catch you slacking off again today"

"Don't blame me for deducting your salary"

As he said this, Director Wang straightened his clothes and walked to the other side.

Old Man Sun closed the door of the tool room, took the mop and bucket and went to the office building.

Li Guoyong looked at the personnel information of the factory recruited from last year to today.

Fortunately, the main workshops of Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant were put into production at the beginning of last year, and the main recruits were in the logistics department.

More than 400 people in total

However, Li Guoyong had no way to confirm whether there were any problems among the more than 9,000 workers in the workshop.

Did the enemy lay the groundwork at the Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant in advance? Are there any of their people on the production line?

Li Guoyong's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and then he threw the information in his hand aside, looking at the factory structure diagram of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and the distribution of various departments and began to think.

There are so many people, it is impossible to check them one by one

Not to mention that if the identification is done at random, it will easily cause panic in the factory, disrupt the original production tasks of the factory and cause panic among the whole factory.

Compared with other investigations, it is better to lure the snake out of its hole.

Aren't they planning to steal the blueprints of the Bobcat terrain vehicle stored at the Nova Motors factory?

Give them the opportunity to access the information.

Li Guoyong smiled and shook his head

Secretary Zhang asked him to help improve the confidentiality system and check loopholes of Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

Li Guoyong has been familiar with some relevant regulations and measures of Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant in the past two days. In fact, the confidentiality work done by the factory is already quite good.

In addition to some professional equipment and protective measures

The file review and isolation system alone makes it difficult for someone with ulterior motives to enter the data room and steal information.

The location where they stored confidential information such as drawings was set up on the fifth floor. No one was allowed to enter the entire fifth floor. Even the cleaners could only clean to the staircase. The corridor from the corridor to the data room was managed by the personnel of the archive management room.

The confidential archive room is staffed by two people, and there are dedicated guards even at night.

The key to the internal room where the drawings and materials are stored is owned by the Archives Management Office, and there is only one backup key in Zhang Renkang's office. In addition, this room has no other exit except for one door.

Theoretically, if you want to enter the archive room where the drawings are stored, it is impossible for someone to enter quietly unless there is a spy in the archive management office.

But the personnel selected by the archives office were retired soldiers from the garrison and several female students assigned from the factory. Their identities were examined before they were appointed.

At present, it is unlikely that there is a problem with the Archives Management Office. If they had a traitor, the drawings and materials would have been stolen by now.

Therefore, Li Guoyong judged that the traitor who sneaked into the Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant was among the latest batch of factory expansion personnel. The best way was to create an opportunity for him, but what excuse would they use to approach the archives room?

Li Guoyong frowned and thought about something.

Zhang Renkang was discussing a design with Xue Jinfeng and Zhang Wei.

"Is this the No. 6806 prototype?"

"Have you discussed the plan with Inner Mongolia First Machinery?"

Zhang Renkang looked at the structural diagram of an armored vehicle on the blueprint and the introduction materials in his hand with some helplessness. The primary task of the New Star Automobile Manufacturing Plant is to research civilian vehicles and improve the automobile industry chain system.

How come the military regards them as a design institute for military armored vehicles?

In June this year, a group of military leaders of unknown identities visited the Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant and spoke highly of the Lynx all-terrain vehicles and transport vans designed and manufactured by them. At the meeting, they were suddenly given a new job.

Let Xinxing design and improve a vehicle that can compete with the BTR-60 infantry transport vehicle unveiled by the North last year, and can accompany the 59 tanks in mechanized combat.

Shouldn't this job be assigned to Inner Mongolia First Machinery? They are a professional military machinery manufacturing and design unit, and they have no relevant design experience. Do these people trust them so much?

Zhang Renkang admired the military's boldness. They left the good 618 design unused and let their three-year-old automobile manufacturer develop infantry transport vehicles for the next decade. I really don't know what their superiors were thinking.

The military’s idea is actually very simple

They were not satisfied with the proposal of the 618th Institute. Although the Type 63 infantry fighting vehicle had been widely equipped in the army, the problems it had also troubled the military.

The protection is weak and can only protect against light weapons, but not against anti-material machine guns above 12 mm.

The noise is loud. The troops have complained more than once that riding on the Type 63 infantry fighting vehicle is like being locked in a loudspeaker. Soldiers feel dizzy after getting off the vehicle, not to mention the driver.

The lack of communication capabilities, especially the lack of communication and coordination capabilities between companies and platoons, is related to the limitations of the original design of the 63 infantry fighting vehicle. After all, the North is far inferior to the West in terms of information and communication.

However, the Type 63 also has great advantages. As an infantry fighting vehicle that is completely born out of the North and designed independently, it refers to the cases of northern and western infantry fighting vehicles, is completely independently developed, and has advanced the design concept of common parts, simplified structure, and easy maintenance.

The Type 63 has a simple structure, high versatility, and is easy to mass produce and quickly repair. Because of the large amount of upgrade space left at the beginning of the design, it has the advantage of developing and repairing armored vehicles, communication vehicles, artillery tractors, etc.

From the perspective of mechanical design, the Type 63 is the most forward-looking infantry fighting vehicle currently. The military's idea is just to see if the Nova Auto Factory can improve the Type 63.

Otherwise, let the Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant redesign an infantry fighting vehicle. The military does not have the courage and ideas to do so.
