Clearly, this also applies to those people who have been lured here by Mu Gaoyi and his group in their desperation.
Sure enough, after much hesitation, they realized that going back would only leave them scratching their heads, unable to come up with any useful ideas for the competition. They figured it was better for everyone to work together and see if they could create this extraordinary car.
"Alright, alright, let's stay and see how things go."
"Look, you're the ones who said it. Let's start doing it. If it doesn't work, don't blame us for quitting."
"Alright, alright, let's begin. Zhang Shan, Li Si, Wang... whoever's name is called will be in charge of the wheels, and the wheels and axles will be handled by..."
Shi Hetong stood there, and Zheng Quchi handed him several lists, which he would read aloud, and then she would give him pointers after he finished reading.
Soon, the personnel were assigned. Zheng Quchi took out the completed drawings and diagrams of the names of each component from his crossbody bag and explained the tasks to them one by one in a clear manner.
"We have already brought over the necessary timber in advance. You can try to saw and cut the timber here. The types of timber needed, their intended uses, the diagrams, dimensions, and structural specifications are all detailed on your construction drawings. You just need to follow the drawings to construct."
Zheng Quchi assigned these tasks to the groups, with each person responsible for different tasks and receiving different construction drawings.
These people took the construction drawings into their hands, glanced at them, frowned, and their brows furrowed deeply.
What the heck?
It's so difficult! To meet the requirements on the blueprints, not only do you need to be technically proficient, but you also need to spend a lot of time calculating the mortise and tenon joints... Until they turned to the second section, they were like they were possessed by a ghost, and they just didn't know what was going on.
"What is this? It's absolutely absurd!"
They swore they had never seen such detailed and clear design drawings, with the entire object to be constructed drawn as if it were a real thing, so lifelike.
You can tell what your finished product will look like at a glance.
Then there are the components, which are also separated and labeled with their size, construction points, difficulties, and precautions.
At first glance, it's obvious that they simply followed the instructions for construction without any technical difficulties. Isn't this a foolproof version?
"Is it really that simple?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Isn't this just like one person overcoming all the problems with this car and then "feeding" them like a nanny?
Zheng Quchi said, "There's no time for everyone to study and reference slowly, so what we've brought out is a design drawing that has already been fully completed. Now our problem is not how to manufacture the car, but how to complete it, assemble it, and present it perfectly to the general within seven days."
Indeed, if it were a regular car, it wouldn't be difficult for them to work on it in seven days with so many people working together. However, this car not only has many devices and designs that they don't understand, but it's also much larger than previous models. This will inevitably lead to unfamiliar areas and trial and error...
"Can we really make it?"
People who thought it was a bit far-fetched back then have now inexplicably gained confidence. Although they don't know if what's written there is true or not, it seems very real and makes them look forward to it.
"If we can't even make this, we don't need to be craftsmen. We might as well go home and raise pigs and farm the land." Someone muttered, "But who designed this? It's just as good as everyone else's. I don't think it could be Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong. They don't have that kind of ability."
“That’s right, I think so too, who knows, it might have been stolen from somewhere…”
"Shh... Don't talk nonsense. Who cares whose it is? Now that it's in our hands, let's pretend we don't know anything. Don't ask, don't guess, don't think."
This was the first time Mu Gaoyi had ever seen anything like this. He took a deep breath, his voice trembling, and said, "Let's get to work! Let's hurry! Even if it takes all our sleep, I'll get it done!"
“That’s right, I think so too!” Shi Hetong agreed loudly.
At present, things are finally on track.
After handing over the tasks to the craftsmen, Zheng Quchi prepared to leave the camp.
What she was going to do was the soul of this car: install shock absorbers at the bottom of the vehicle. This required specially customized steel plates, which would inevitably cost a lot of money.
But the little money she has is definitely not enough.
So before that, she had to go to Yuwen Sheng's place to ask for the unpaid wages owed to her by the migrant workers!
——
She didn't go directly to the main army tent. Firstly, she couldn't get in, and secondly, if she had to go through the process of registering and being notified at each level to get in, it would be too conspicuous.
So she went around to Fu Rong. Wei Yao had said that if they weren't at the camp, they could go directly to Fu Rong if they needed anything.
Sure enough, meeting Fu Rong was very simple; he just registered and was let in.
Fu Rong was grinding something when he saw her and stood up to greet her: "Madam? What brings you here?"
Zheng Quchi cut straight to the point: "Where is the general? I'm looking for him."
“General, he should be back today, probably in the main camp,” Fu Rong replied.
"Oh, what about tomorrow?"
"He might not be here tomorrow... Madam, did you manage to get information out of him?" Fu Rong asked with a smile.
Zheng Quchi didn't deny it. She touched her nose and said, "I've been busy with other things lately and haven't seen him. How about you do me a favor?"
"What kind of help?"
Zheng Quchi was very polite and forced a smile, saying, "When I was Sang Xuanqing, I was in charge of building the city wall of Guixu Ridge. Your general and the Fuxian County government owe me wages that they haven't paid yet. I urgently need the money right now. Can you help me ask for it?"
