Chapter 1031 Damn it! !
"Rebellious son!!"
A new day begins with Zhou Xu's accusation against his rebellious son.
After chasing away Xuan Yu who was sleeping on his face again, Zhou Xu sat up from the bed, holding his forehead with one hand, looking a little tired.
He has always had good sleep quality, and coupled with his strong mental strength, he feels very energetic every day when he wakes up.
But today I feel particularly tired.
"I remember entering a spiritual space last night. Nothing happened, so I just went back to sleep, and then..."
While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu frowned.
"Did you have a dream all night?"
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but rub his face hard.
From a scientific point of view, dreaming mostly indicates poor sleep quality. Zhou Xu felt that this was one of the reasons why he felt particularly tired early this morning.
As for what I dreamed about...
He can't remember.
He has always been like this. After waking up from a dream, he can't remember what he dreamed about. This is not a rare thing.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Xu asked someone to bring in a basin of cold water, washed himself simply, and started his morning exercises after that.
Today's document processing work was concentrated in the morning. In the afternoon, Zhou Xu left the palace in a carriage and prepared to inspect the progress of several projects.
The main reason was that his sleep quality was too poor yesterday, which affected his condition today a little. He didn't want to do too much work that required thinking.
Anyway, there were no important documents that required his handling today, so he might as well arrange to go out for inspection.
Zhou Xu has always attached great importance to field inspections.
Although he was busy with official duties every day and could not personally monitor everything, it was impossible for him to just believe everything in the reports submitted to him and the presentations from his subordinates.
In this way, he has never missed any work such as field visits and project inspections.
As for the projects in Black Moon City, he would take a day or two to check them out every now and then.
Now Zhou Xu's first stop after returning from outside is the Equipment Department of their Black Moon City! The Equipment Department has always been a large department of their Great Zhou. Not only does it have branches in various cities, but there are also many small departments responsible for different projects within the department.
For example, there is now a department that is specifically responsible for manufacturing three-bow crossbows, a department that is specifically responsible for manufacturing soldier armor, and so on. To put it bluntly, there is a more detailed division.
After all, Zhou Xu knew that ordinary people's abilities were limited. Instead of letting them disperse their limited abilities and energy to many pieces of equipment, it would be better to let them all invest in the production of one piece or one type of equipment.
Focus on one job for decades. Even if you cannot become a master, at least you can become proficient in it and improve your work efficiency.
These small departments all have independent factories and courtyards.
Although they are in the same area, under normal circumstances, they do not disturb each other on weekdays.
After passing through a factory building, Zhou Xu came to a courtyard called the "Power Equipment Department".
Needless to say, this was the small department that was specially set up to develop steam engines after Qin Fen was summoned, and it belonged to the Capital Equipment Department.
The department is not small in size, but it has only a few staff.
It’s not that Zhou Xu is stingy and unwilling to assign people to Qin Fen.
As a modern man, Zhou Xu was clear about the value of the steam engine. At the same time, he had already instructed Qin Fen to provide him with people or money if he wanted it.
It was quite a big scene at that time, and Qin Fen was also in high spirits, looking like he was going to do something big.
As a result, more than half a year later, Qin Fen embarrassingly discovered that he had lost his composure.
He was indeed very familiar with the structure and manufacturing technology of steam engines, but in this era, the difficulty of manufacturing a steam engine was much greater than he had expected.
Simply put, it is due to the limitation of technical capabilities, the parts are not precise enough and the manual errors are huge.
The steam engine that was barely built not only leaked, but also had poor stability. Not to mention using it normally, Qin Fen didn't even dare to let it run for a while longer.
During this half year, he has tried to overcome this problem.
In fact, he had tried it many times.
After all, Qin Fen knew in his heart that this was his first job after traveling through time and space, and it was also his first opportunity to prove his worth to Zhou Xu, which was of great significance to him.
Although he felt that his panel abilities were there and Zhou Xu would not do anything to him even if he messed up this first job, Qin Fen couldn't get over that hurdle.
Or maybe his self-esteem wouldn't allow him to accept this failure.
You know, even before he traveled through time, he was a recognized super genius!
To this end, he invested a lot of time trying to overcome the problem.
Later, I was left with no other options, so I reported the situation to my superiors and explained my difficulties.
The person in charge of understanding the situation at that time was Zhang Xiaoshan, the director of the Black Moon City Administrative Department.
After all, Qin Fen was a talent that their Majesty had said should be given special attention, so Zhang Xiaoshan naturally paid more attention to him.
After listening to Qin Fen's difficulties, Zhang Xiaoshan directly said...
"Maybe. We can try to ask Vice Minister Zhuang for help."
“…”
Qin Fen really wanted to say that this was not a question of who to ask for help, what he needed was a high-precision lathe to help him solve the problem of parts precision.
Of course, he just thought about it and didn't say it out loud. He had no intention of discussing this issue with an ancient person.
Not to mention discussing it, the other party probably wouldn't be able to understand it, which made Qin Fen very helpless.
However, he could also feel that the other party had good intentions. Instead of rejecting him in person and causing embarrassment, it would be better to let Deputy Minister Zhuang come and try it himself, and then give up.
But Deputy Minister Zhuang cannot be invited just like that. She is now in charge of the manufacturing of their Great Zhou individual crossbows, and is also a very important productive force in the manufacturing team.
If she was transferred away, the productivity of the entire manufacturing team would be greatly reduced.
For this reason, if you want to transfer Deputy Minister Zhuang to help, you must first consult their Majesty and wait for their Majesty's approval.
At that time, Zhou Xu was on the volcanic island...
No matter how fast the messenger worked, it took nearly three months for the news to be transmitted and received.
During this process, there were quite a few people in the Power Equipment Department, and it was naturally impossible to let them be idle every day, so these people were basically transferred back to their original departments.
Later, the news came back that their Majesty had approved it.
When Qin Fen met Zhuang Mengdie for the first time, he was a little dazed. He could not have imagined that this person was actually a deputy minister. He was covered in dust and dirt, as if he had just come out of a factory, and even his clothes were very sloppy.
Of course, due to the education he received, he did not reveal his thoughts, but he stated his request clearly to Zhuang Mengdie.
After understanding the situation, Zhuang Mengdie didn't waste any time and started working directly.
Then after a while, Qin Fen held the tightly-fitting, perfectly-assembled structural component in his hand, which could even form a smooth linkage, and only two words remained in his mouth.
"What the hell? What the hell!!"
