Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 376 A Big Game

Everyone talked a lot, and I was a little worried about whether the progress was slow, and I was afraid that it would affect the progress of Mars development.

Liu Yang distinguished that Solar System Dynamics spent nearly five years building the super-Apollo spacecraft, while the Xuanwu spacecraft was bigger and better in comparison, and it took two years to build it quickly enough.

Regarding everyone's debate, Zhong Cheng was noncommittal.

He has also calculated the construction period of the Xuanwu spacecraft many times. With the existing personnel and equipment of the Red Star Ship Manufacturing Company, it will take 2 years to complete, which is indeed the limit.

However, if it is necessary to increase personnel and equipment for the Red Star Ship Manufacturing Company and speed up the construction progress of the Xuanwu spacecraft, this will inevitably affect other projects under construction.

All the projects of the second phase of the Nantianmen project are a big game of chess, and there are countless people, equipment, materials that can be invested, and related resources occupied.

If there is more here, there will be less in other areas.

From a large perspective, the transfer center, port, and residential area of ​​Tiangong City count as one piece, Kunlun City counts as one piece, the construction of the sky ladder itself counts as one piece, and the construction of the Kung Kong-310 and Zhong-322 synthesis devices also counts as one piece, plus The construction of the upper Xuanwu spacecraft currently has five major blocks.

The amount of work in each section is astonishing and important.

Zhong Cheng really felt that he spread the stall too big!
It has been more than a year since the second phase of the Nantianmen project started, and Red Star Company has invested 15 people directly in the project construction.

And almost all departments and branches of the company are revolving around this project.

The invested equipment and materials converted into cash have reached [-] trillion yuan, and are still being consumed at a rate of tens of billions per day.

But it is far from seeing a profitable time!
As the helm of Red Star Company, Zhong Cheng felt pressured while feeling joyful about the progress of the project.

In the end, he weighed the pros and cons, and made a decision to ask Liu Yang to calculate the required resources according to the construction period of one and a half years, and draw up a plan.

It cannot be too late to start Mars development in October next year. Only when the Mars space ladder is completed and the ground fire route is opened, will we see benefits.

Even if such benefits will be small at the beginning, at least it will bring good news to the small and medium shareholders of Red Star Company and the capital market, otherwise the subsequent financial pressure will be greater.

After the meeting, Zhong Cheng stopped Liu Yang and went to the command center of the engineering headquarters with Fu Huaquan, Zhou Hu, and Liu Yuzhu.

In the center of the work shed area of ​​the Nantianmen Phase II Project Headquarters under Yuxu Peak is a large work shed covering an area of ​​over a thousand square meters. In order to facilitate the entry of personnel, the large work shed has ten gates opened in four directions.

This is the command and dispatch center of the project, as well as the headquarters of the project staff.

When everyone entered the shed, there was a burst of noise, people coming and going in the shed, a scene of excitement.

The command and dispatch center is equipped with more than 200 full-time staff members, divided into more than a dozen groups, responsible for project planning, implementation, supervision, assessment and other aspects.

Although there is a Pangu economic management system, for unconventional engineering project management, there are too many things that require someone to make decisions, and the role of the system is not as important as in conventional production and operation activities.

Zhong Cheng called Deng Jinhai, the director of the command and dispatch center, his secretary-general, and asked him to summon the staff of the planning team.

In the existing plans of the project, the construction plan of the Xuanwu spacecraft basically refers to the two-year construction period submitted by the Red Star Ship Manufacturing Company in advance.

Now that the construction period has to be advanced by half a year, a large number of related plans need to be adjusted.

Zhong Cheng called Fu Huaquan, Zhou Hu, Liu Yuzhu, and Liu Yang together, so that he could promptly reply to the problems encountered by the staff officers when adjusting the plan.

After being busy until late at night, the adjustment of the construction plan of the Xuanwu spacecraft was completed. The next step is for Liu Yang to organize his subordinates to add details to the plan.

……

2035 2 Month 7 Day.

It's the traditional Chinese New Year's Eve again, New Year's Eve.

The second phase of the Nantianmen project was too tense to be separated from people, Zhou Hu asked Zhong Cheng to go home, and he stayed at the headquarters.

Due to the large number of people on the construction site, this year's company's annual meeting of middle and high-level cadres, the company's annual commendation meeting and the annual meeting of the board of directors are all simple and conducted video conferences.

And it may not be free for two or three years.

Zhong Cheng was on his way to Ceres during the Spring Festival last year, and this year he had to go home for a reunion.

He is not hypocritical, saying that he will return home after the New Year's Eve, the first day of the new year, and the second day of the new year to change Zhou Hu.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, he hurried back to Beishan.

Although the Longling villa area is decorated with lights and festoons, it is obviously a bit deserted.

The engineering technicians and scientific researchers living here are the backbone of Red Star Company and Kunlun Research Institute, and everyone is also on vacation in rotation.

Without the backbone of the family, no amount of money can create real liveliness and warmth.

As soon as the speeding car approached the yard of his villa, he heard a noise coming from inside.

Zhong Cheng asked 9528 to park the car outside the courtyard, and he got out of the car and walked in.

At the first glance, Alicia was fighting with Zhong Yi on the lawn, each holding a wooden knife. Zhou Long, Ye Qian, and Lu Yue cheered and cheered.

And under the eaves farther away, Tang Dao also came, watching the battle attentively.

The adults are not in the yard, they should be preparing the New Year's Eve dinner inside the house.

I saw Alicia slashing continuously with wooden knives in both hands, while still giggling, obviously not using all her strength.

And Zhong Yi, who hadn't seen him for a year and a half, has grown half his head again, is taller than Alicia, and has a slender and strong figure, looking more and more like Zhong Yi.

But under Alicia's attack, Zhong Yi blocked from left to right and was in a panic, all relying on his unyielding strength to persist.

As soon as Zhong Cheng entered the yard, he was discovered by Alicia.

With a little effort, she slashed Zhong Yi over with a single knife, and rushed over with a smile.

She grabbed Zhong Cheng's hand and yelled "Dad" non-stop, very happy.

For more than half a year, Ye Wenxin or Yang Shuzhen often took her to Kunlun City to visit Zhong Cheng, and she and Zhong Cheng were already very close.

Zhong Cheng touched Alicia's long golden hair happily. He also accepted this innocent and lovely daughter.

Ye Qian and Lu Yue rushed over afterward, yelling "uncle" and "uncle", not to be outdone.

Zhong Yi and Zhou Long walked over in disgrace, and called out "Dad" and "Uncle" listlessly.

It seems that Zhou Long was also taught a lot by Alicia, and the two future mecha fighters were hit hard.

Zhong Cheng laughed secretly. They didn't even think about who Alicia was. If she didn't let the water go, they would be killed by one move.

He beckoned to Tang Dao who was under the eaves, and Tang Dao came over and said cautiously, "Mr. Zhong!"

Tang Dao was an orphan. Ye Wenxin took him over because he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable alone at the training base during the Spring Festival. Zhong Cheng knew about it.

"Xiao Dao, call me uncle from now on, treat this place as your home, and come and live here during the holidays!"

Tang Dao's eyes were slightly red, and he said emotionally: "Yes, uncle!"

Zhong Cheng asked 9528 and 9529 to bring over the gifts he prepared for the children, and let everyone choose what they like.

A few girls were noisily choosing gifts, Zhong Yi and Zhou Long were disheartened, not interested, and stood by the side without moving.

Zhong Cheng glared at the two boys, "What's the matter with you two, manly man, can't afford to lose?"

Zhou Long pointed at Alicia, and said dejectedly: "Uncle, but why is she so powerful, Brother Yi and I are no match at all!"

Lu Yue yelled when she heard the words, "Zhou Long, what is she, she wants to be called Sister Aili, won't you admit it if you lose?"
