In the workshop, the German personnel visited the production line of the Reimaa military factory, and they all showed surprised expressions. In fact, in the minds of the vast majority of Westerners, the most representative of Chinese manufacturing are socks and shirts, as well as cheap vuvuzula used on football fields. As for weapons, they are either modeled after Russia, or they are modeled after Europe and the United States, which are not worth mentioning at all.

But now, the advanced production line of the Leima Military Factory, with a reasonable layout, clean and tidy production environment, made their eyes shine, and it was incompatible with the situation they imagined, and their feelings couldn't help but become complicated.

The rise of China is not something that everyone is happy about, because this rise directly threatens the interests of Western countries. So there is a technological blockade, so there are trade barriers, so there are all kinds of discrimination and unfairness, but under the strict technological blockade of Western countries, a small light weapons company in China has broken through and become a world-class dark horse!

Looking at the advanced production line of the Reimaa military factory, looking at the finished products of the XL2500 sniper rifle and the galley assault rifle that can stay in the workshop, how can these Germans be happy?

The Germans, who ranged from gunsmiths to top electrical engineers and mechanics like Joseph, quickly got into the groove, walking from shop floor to floor, carefully inspecting every machine on the line, and some even starting it up for a trial operation.

Ling Hao came to Xia Lei's side and lowered his voice, "Leizi, can they steal your company's technology like this?"

Xia Lei smiled and said in a low voice: "Brother Ling, don't worry, those technologies are not just a look, and they can be stolen by operating the machine." They want our technology, and they have to exchange it for technology of equal value. ”

Ling Hao patted Xia Lei on the shoulder and relaxed, "I'm relieved if you say this, we will negotiate with them after taking them on a tour, you sit next to me, you don't want to express your position casually, when you need to express your position, I will give you a hint." ”

Xia Lei nodded.

At this time, Joseph, who had made a small thing with an intelligent machine tool, suddenly said, "How is this possible?"

Anina walked over and said, "Joseph, is something wrong?"

"A lot of the design of this machine gives me a sense of familiarity, well, I would say, a bit of a resemblance to the smart machine that I designed," Joseph said. However, its performance is better than the smart machine I designed. ”

Anina smiled, "Joseph, BMW and Mercedes-Benz all make cars, and the cars they produce have four wheels, an engine and a steering wheel. I think the similarities you mentioned are in this case, they are all smart machine tools, and there will definitely be a lot of similarities. ”

Joseph shook his head, "No, some unique designs are very clear to me, they are unique, and your metaphor can't be used for this." ”

Philip walked over, "Mr. Joseph, did you see anything wrong?"

"There's a lot in common with the machines I've designed, which is strange because a lot of the designs are unique," says Joseph. ”

"What about performance?" Philip subconsciously glanced at Xia Lei, and there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Joseph was silent for a moment before he said, "The machine here is a little more advanced than the one I designed, and it is more perfect. ”

Philip leaned into Joseph's ear and whispered, "Let me ask you, you have visited their smart machine tools, can you cover our smart machine tools when you come back? ”

Joseph thought for a moment before saying, "The smart machine I designed is already very advanced, and it is very difficult to improve its performance. I've tried again and again, but I can't improve its performance, but I didn't expect the smart machine here to do it. You ask me if I can improve our smart machines, and that's my answer. I couldn't see the design inside, and the electrical engineering, I couldn't do it. Unless, you get the drawings, and there is a smart machine like this. ”

Philip was disappointed. After talking for a long time, I still have to trade. And in his will, the expert members he brought this time had better be able to see the secrets of the Reima Arsenal at a glance, and take away the technology of the Reima Arsenal without any cost. It's a good idea, but it's also naïve. But it would be a different story if an expert like Joseph had the clairvoyant eye of Charley.

"But, Mr. Philip. Joseph whispered in Philip's ear: "If they want to exchange such technology for the engine technology of the Typhoon fighter, it will not be cost-effective for us." If you agree to the deal, you're trading the same weight of diamonds for the same weight of gold. ”

Philip sneered, "You don't have to worry about this. We have a lot of options for them, 3D printer technology, but also car engine technology and some avionics technology. If that's all they have, then they'll only get something of the same value. We're not wronged. ”

These conversations were all under Xia Lei's gaze, and he also interpreted them with lip reading. He whispered to Ling Hao about the conversation between Philip and Joseph.

Ling Hao frowned, "3D printer technology, we are not inferior to European and American countries now, as for car engine technology, that is not what we want." Avionics technology may have some value, but it won't be in this deal. If the engine technology of the Typhoon fighter cannot be replaced, then the deal will have to be cancelled. ”

Xia Lei's gaze moved to Anina's body, and said tentatively, "Brother Ling, what about Anina?"

"If the deal doesn't work, she'll be taken back to Germany," Ling said. You have to understand that we are not going to go against the leaders of the European Union because of a woman. Leizi, you have done what you should have done, and if you can't help her, she will understand you. ”

Xia Lei thought for a moment, "What if I can broker this deal?"

Ling Hao said, "Then it's no problem, but what are you going to do?"

In fact, although he personally led the team to negotiate with the Germans, he was actually not optimistic about this deal. After all, this time it was the fighter engine technology of the Typhoon fighter that was being exchanged. The Germans will face double pressure from their European allies and the United States, and they will also be under the general environment of containing the rise of China. If there were no interests that would appeal to the Germans, would the Germans be willing to bear this pressure because of the technology of two firearms and the technology of a better intelligent machine tool? Obviously not.

"Well, look at me. Charley said that, and then he walked over to Philip and Joseph, who were whispering.

"He's coming, don't talk about it anymore. Philip saw Charley approaching and immediately ended his secret conversation with Joseph.

Joseph looked at Xia Lei, his eyes still full of confusion and suspicion. In fact, he had long suspected that "Lucas" and Xia Lei were the same person, and he also suspected that Xia Lei had stolen the technology of his smart machine tool. However, he had no evidence to prove it.

"Hehe, Mr. Joseph, I know that you are the top electrical engineer in Germany, and even more so the top machinist, you are an expert in this area, how about our intelligent machine tools?" said Xia Lei.

"Very nice. "There are some advances, but I'll be honest, you'd be naïve if you wanted to trade it for our engine technology," Joseph said. ”

Philip watched Xia Lei's reaction.

Xia Lei smiled, "Mr. Joseph, you deserve to be a top expert in this field. But what I'm going to tell you is that what you see and operate is not through the lowest level of intelligent machine tools in our Rehman Arsenal. ”

Joseph was stunned for a moment, "The lowest?"

Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders, "Otherwise, how could it appear on the production line that processes pistol parts." Do you think I'm going to trade this smart machine technology for the engine technology of your Typhoon fighter jet? I'm not going to make such a low-level joke. ”

"I don't believe there are more advanced smart machines," Joseph said. ”

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Because that's impossible!" Joseph said unceremoniously: "I admit that the intelligent machine tools here are indeed more advanced than the intelligent machine tools I have studied and manufactured, but the degree of advancement is limited." I'm sure that's the limit, and there's no way you're going to go any further than that!"

Xia Lei said lightly: "You don't believe it, it's because you are still prejudiced against our manufacturing industry." It's true that we've been behind for a while, but that doesn't mean we'll be behind forever. ”

Philip gave a look of disdain. He didn't bother to argue with Xia Lei, he was sure of his judgment. Huaguo, with the current level of manufacturing in Huaguo, it is impossible to manufacture more advanced intelligent machine tools than this!

Philip also said: "Mr. Xia, you said that you would not make a low-level joke, but in my opinion, this is indeed a low-level joke. Our experts have flown in from far and wide on the other side of the globe, but so far we have not seen your state-of-the-art technology. ”

"Don't worry, please come with me. Xia Lei smiled and made a gesture of please.

Philip and Joseph looked at each other and didn't move.

"Why, don't you even have the courage to take a look?" said Xia Lei with a smile.

"I'll go with you. Joseph said.

A large group of Germans and the team represented by Ling Hao followed Xia Lei out of the first workshop and into another.

This workshop is smaller than the others, and the alloy door is locked, so you can't see what's going on inside.

"Anina, open the door. Xia Lei said.

Anina pursed her lips at Xia Lei and smiled sweetly, then walked over to the alloy gate, typed the code into the electronic combination lock, and then brought her pupils to a scanner. After these steps were completed, the alloy gate slowly opened.

As soon as the alloy door opened, a giant Mac suddenly entered the sight of all visitors.

At that moment, Joseph's mouth opened wide and could no longer be closed.

This giant machine is the heart of the Reima Arsenal, where everything from the stabilization system of the XL2500 sniper rifle to the shock absorber of the Blast assault rifle is machined. The people who can enter this workshop are the core engineers and mechanics of the Reima Military Factory, led by Anina!
