Luo Xuan looked at it for a while and said disdainfully: "The technology is crude and there is no confidentiality. It is easy to deduce the drawings."
"Then I'll leave it to you. As long as you complete this task, we will dig you out from the logistics department and give you higher treatment and authority."
Luo Xuan smiled with satisfaction. After the unfair treatment last time, he felt that the logistics department had no future. Why did Han Xiao get specially recruited, while he could only work hard to gain experience? So he was ready to join the hardliners and transfer to the R&D department.
As long as he entered the sight of the top management, his future would be bright. Sooner or later, he would get the same treatment as Han Xiao.
Deciphering the folding sword is an opportunity to show his ability. Luo Xuan attaches great importance to it. He was upset that he failed to crack the light power arm last time and he was not convinced. This time, he could "compete" with Han Xiao, which he wanted more than anything.
...
Since he had an independent mechanical studio, Han Xiao moved out of the repair shop and lived a single life that he had missed for a long time. In name, he was still an employee of the repair shop, sharing the daily orders of the repair shop with Lu Qian.
Due to the previous misunderstanding, the mode of getting along without meeting each other made Lu Qian feel a lot more relaxed.
"Shh..."
Opening the smelting furnace, high-temperature steam gushed out. Han Xiao, wearing high-temperature resistant work clothes, used tongs to pick up pieces of red-hot long steel blanks from the furnace.
Under the current conditions, Han Xiao has two ways to make blades. One is normal smelting, heating the steel blanks, and then forging them on iron felt many times to gradually polish them into shape. The second is to use a high-temperature furnace to burn the steel blanks until they are red, and then use equipment to stamp them to directly punch out the shape of the blade, all in one step. Both have their own advantages. The former is naturally fine workmanship, while the latter is more efficient and can be mass-produced.
The selling point of the folding sword is portability and secrecy. Han Xiao does not pursue the manufacture of famous swords, and chooses efficient direct stamping.
These steel blanks are all stocks of the Thirteenth Bureau, and they are of excellent quality. Han Xiao sprays chemical materials on the steel blanks to remove oxides, and then calcines them once, then puts the red-hot steel blanks on the stamping lathe and starts the equipment.
Amid the roaring sound of collision, the steel blank was formed into sharp blades.
Then Han Xiao carried out the key folding process. This was a delicate job that required the use of chains and magnets, and Han Xiao was familiar with it.
Soon, a batch of ten folding swords came out.
Experience will also decrease if the same machine is manufactured repeatedly. Manufacturing experience will not disappear like assembly, but fluctuate in a very low range. When completing mechanical manufacturing with the help of equipment, experience will be reduced as appropriate. After the mechanical department is advanced, it is inevitable to assemble production lines and lathes by oneself, and mass-produce parts on the assembly line. Han Xiao has not reached this stage yet, and some parts still need to be polished or purchased by himself.
Each time a folding sword is made, 100~200 experience can be obtained. The level of the folding sword blueprint has been upgraded to lv2, and the properties of the finished product have slightly increased.
Han Xiao took off his high-temperature resistant suit, wiped the sweat on his forehead, counted the batch of swords, and completed several orders.
Happy. At this time, the phone rang with an old-fashioned ringtone. Li Yalin called.
"Oh no, all the agents who had placed orders before requested to cancel their orders."
Han Xiao was stunned. "What happened?"
"The R&D department has derived the blueprint of the folding sword and has submitted a report to higher-level leaders, requesting the seal of the R&D department and spreading the word that it will soon be mass-produced and supplied to various departments." Li Yalin said in a depressed tone.
The R&D department values performance and wants the ownership of the invention of the blueprint. The equipment is supplied free of charge. Therefore, although the agent despises the behavior of the R&D department, he also canceled the pre-order to Han Xiao.
The new batch of folding swords he made is unsalable.
Han Xiao's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that the R&D department would dare to steal his business. Due to the special nature (simpleness) of the folding sword, the confidentiality measures were unnecessary. Han Xiao had a hunch that replicas would appear, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. The current profit was far from his expectations.
Although the folding sword will be saturated in the future, it can still bring him a lot of benefits at this stage, but the R&D department intervened and cut off his financial path.
If he chooses to hand in the blueprint, he may increase his contribution to the camp, but he will also lose the source of experience. The R&D department's forced seizure of the blueprint obviously does not count as his contribution.
This hinders his growth in many ways.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, dialed Feng Jun's number, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what happened?"
Feng Jun sighed and said: "The R&D department is really bold. Although the senior management has not reviewed the R&D department's report, they have already started the assembly line production of folding swords."
"Tell me the details."
Feng Jun had to say it again, and Han Xiao remembered Kratt and Luo Xuan.
"What did the R&D department say?"
"They didn't make any statement."
Han Xiao's face was calm. He was indeed a hardliner. He was too lazy to explain to him, the owner of the blueprint. The subtext was that he wanted him to endure this loss. He just didn't know how the old man Gao's conservatives would react.
This time, the R&D department acted on its own. Obviously, the higher-ups would not be kept in the dark. The reason why they delayed reviewing the R&D department's report was probably to test his attitude. If he chose to give in, would the Thirteenth Bureau's policy towards him become increasingly tough in the future?
"The hardliners want to squeeze and beat me, while the conservatives tend to cooperate with me in a friendly manner. The top management cannot support the R&D department unanimously. As long as I make a big deal and don't cross the bottom line, the top management will compromise and compensate me to a certain extent. There is a lot of room for maneuver in this matter."
Han Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. Perhaps this is an opportunity to seize advanced knowledge!
Advanced knowledge is regarded as confidential by Xinglong and is strictly controlled. Han Xiao has been worried about how to complete the advanced tasks. Isn't this a good opportunity to take advantage of the topic?
A simple plan gradually took shape in his mind.
"You don't mind taking my things. If I don't make you fall into trouble, you really think I'm easy to bully."
...
R&D department. The secretary of the minister said: "Haha, thanks to you this time, you are worthy of being the trump card of the logistics department."
Luo Xuan smiled faintly to hide his pride.
"The minister attaches great importance to you. He has already asked for your resume from the logistics department and entered it into the database. You will be transferred to our R&D department."
"I don't know how I will be treated..."
"The minister specifically instructed you to lead a working group alone, and your authority will be raised by one level. As long as you work hard, the top management will notice you sooner or later."
Luo Xuan smiled with satisfaction and asked: "I heard that Han Xiao is valued by the top management. Will there be any trouble?"
"Don't worry, I know a little inside story. Han Xiao can only swallow his anger."
The secretary remembered the fearless words of the R&D director:
"Han Xiao has to rely on the protection of the Thirteenth Bureau. If he wants to survive, he dare not make trouble!"
