Chapter 814 - 812: Industrial Aircraft Carrier

"Why haven’t I seen Candy and Zero?"

Wearing a pretty floral dress but slipping on flip-flops, Zhou Yaling yawned continuously, clearly overslept, showing signs of a muddled brain.

Mo Jingchun raised his head and glanced at his elder sister, who looks the same front and back, and said blandly:

"Summer vacation is halfway done, and the homework hasn’t been touched. Where do you think Candy would be with me sitting here?"

Zhou Yaling, whose brain hadn’t fully booted up yet, was dazed for a moment and then burst into laughter:

"You caught her to do homework, huh?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ I remember someone who never did winter and summer assignments since childhood."

"Why don’t you ever mention my always being first in class exams?"

Zhou Yaling disdainfully looked at Mo Jingchun, saying:

"Don’t think I don’t know, Candy is also excellent in her class."

"Being excellent isn’t being first."

After a pause, Mo Jingchun chuckled, "Sis, times have changed. They don’t allow exams, so rankings don’t exist."

"So, without a clear first, it’s better to obediently finish your homework."

"Moreover..."

"If you dare to bring this up with Candy, I will report you to Uncle."

Zhou Yaling looked annoyed, "Besides snitching to Uncle, what else can you do?"

"I can also snitch to Aunt."

"You..."

For the following week, Candy could be seen every day carrying a backpack to the company.

While employees were bewildered by Candy not surveying the building, she persistently occupied her brother’s desk to do homework daily.

Even though Mo Jingchun has been staying at the No. 2 laboratory building recently, Candy remained consistent in completing Zero’s assigned homework every day.

Not for other reasons, mainly because Candy truly worried her brother wouldn’t take her out to play.

Thinking about fun places and all sorts of delicious food, how could a tiny bit of summer homework be the mountain blocking her way?

With Candy writing away diligently, on the other side, Mo Jingchun was standing in the large conference room brainstorming with everyone.

Unlike them, Mo Jingchun, who already had the answers in mind, was not worried that a space shuttle couldn’t be built.

His job was merely to slowly guide everyone’s research direction.

Don’t underestimate just a direction; in research, the biggest fear is studying the wrong direction, wasting efforts on something useless.

"Boss, we urgently need an advanced high-precision CNC machine!"

Mo Jingchun furrowed his brows and remained silent for a long time.

The most advanced CNC machines are hailed as industrial aircraft carriers.

Not to mention him, even the state would treat the most advanced CNC machine as a precious gem.

Moreover, the world’s most advanced CNC machines are all held by the Beautiful Country and Japan.

Just like the most advanced lithography machines, they simply don’t sell them to Xia Country.

"Getting the most advanced CNC machine is challenging; I’ll try. But everyone shouldn’t hold too high hopes."

"Ahem..."

At this moment, someone else stood up, smiling and saying:

"If you ask me, we aren’t afraid to research space shuttles; researching CNC machines on the side isn’t over the top, right?"

Upon hearing this, the corner of Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched. Where’d you get that confidence, kid?

Space shuttle development has been progressing steadily because, at each critical moment, he leads everyone down the right direction.

But what about CNC machines? Everyone really needs to start from zero.

"Quite reasonable! But do you understand CNC machines?"

"I don’t understand."

"If you don’t understand, then shut up."

Mo Jingchun helplessly reached out to stop the team from brewing another dispute.

"Hear me out."

"Researching CNC machines is easy; the difficulty is in precision. The most crucial part is that we have no talent in this area in our company."

"I’ll handle the CNC machine matter; your focus should be on getting the space shuttle to take off sooner."

Leaving the No. 2 laboratory building, Mo Jingchun couldn’t care less about the blazing sun overhead, feeling somewhat agitated.

It’s uncertain whether he could trade to get an advanced CNC machine from above.

Even though there’s a technical blockade among countries, Mo Jingchun believes once it’s produced, the top would surely find a way to obtain it.

What’s bothering Mo Jingchun is what he could offer for the trade.

Returning to the office, Mo Jingchun saw Candy sipping on juice.

"Bro, today’s homework, take a look."

Mo Jingchun flipped through and nodded.

"Keep it up."

"Mhm mhm."

Walking to Xia Xiaomin’s workstation, Mo Jingchun knocked on the desk, asking:

"What’s the progress on the new factory construction?"

"It’s already topping out."

Mo Jingchun nodded, "Good, let Old Xu know the factory must be operational on schedule."

"Okay, Boss."

At this moment, Candy came over with a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice.

"Bro, have some watermelon juice, Xia just squeezed it."

"Oh, you’re showing your care now."

Taking the watermelon juice, Mo Jingchun ruffled Candy’s hair.

......

Entering the bedroom, Mo Jingchun locked the door.

After hesitating, Mo Jingchun decided to sound out Qin Yuzhu.

If they could swap for an advanced CNC machine from above, that would be ideal.

If not, he’d have to explore other avenues.

The blockade is just a matter of interests not being sufficiently met.

When interests are tipped in favor, there are plenty of ways for foreign companies to turn the tables and deliver the most advanced CNC machines to your door.

But such costs are too high, not Mo Jingchun’s optimal choice.

"Hey, Qin, hope you’re doing well."

"Speak normally."

"Qin, I’m in need of your help again."

Thousands of miles away, Qin Yuzhu glanced around, stood up, and returned to her office.

"No one’s here now, just tell me. Generally, if you need my help, I’m not capable of solving it."

Mo Jingchun grinned, Qin Yuzhu might not be able to, but she has superiors, and those superiors have higher-ups.

"Ahem, our lab has recently been researching a major project, and we need a high-precision CNC machine. Qin, help me ask if the leaders can sell me one."

On the call, Qin Yuzhu was silent for a long time, she’s not to be assumed easy to fool despite fewer studies, especially as she’s a postgraduate in engineering.

Rubbing her temples, Qin Yuzhu said helplessly:

"Are you preparing to build an aircraft carrier? Let me give you a piece of advice: building an aircraft carrier in Huo County won’t get it to the sea."

Mo Jingchun chuckled awkwardly, "Qin, you’re so humorous. How could I have the capacity to build an aircraft carrier?"

"Not to mention an aircraft carrier itself, even its arresting cables I don’t have the capacity to manufacture."

The seemingly small arresting cables, indeed few companies worldwide can make them, and they’re expensive.

With a straightened face, Qin Yuzhu asked seriously:

"Really need a high-precision CNC machine?"

"We really need it."

With a sigh, Qin Yuzhu said helplessly: "Be mentally prepared, I don’t think you can buy one."
