Chapter 48: Epoch-Making! Named the 99C!
“Want a smoke?”
A small vacant lot outside the 9910 Project office building of the Northern Heavy Industry Group.
Ma Bo Ming watched Chen Jin Chao finish his workout, and after seeing him, he actually walked straight over and sat down next to him, comfortably resting.
Immediately, he awkwardly shifted most of his body to the side.
Two people, you don't speak, I don't speak either.
The awkward atmosphere could make someone dig out a three-bedroom apartment with their toes on the floor.
After a long time, as if to break the awkward silence.
Ma Bo Ming just pulled out a cigarette, stuck it in his mouth.
But just as he was about to light it, he seemed to think of something.
He turned to look at Chen Jin Chao, then looked down at the cigarette in his hand, hesitated for a moment, before finally managing to say "Want a smoke?".
"Yo, good smoke."
"Give me one."
Compared to Ma Bo Ming's restraint, Chen Jin Chao was not at all polite.
The movement of taking the cigarette out of the pack was very skilled.
He even had the time to make a teasing remark.
It has to be said, just this teasing remark, and the impolite act of taking the cigarette, made Ma Bo Ming suddenly relax.
Sometimes, the relationship between men is so strange.
One moment they can fight, the next they can hug each other and call each other brothers.
Especially the misunderstanding between Chen Jin Chao and Ma Bo Ming.
"I know you, the other day when you improved the gun barrel inner diameter, you worked around the clock for three days to meet the target, and even slept in the lab."
"I also know that you didn't do it on purpose that day."
"But I was new here, and special circumstances require special treatment."
Smoke came out of his nose, and Chen Jin Chao, who was always stubborn and arrogant, took the initiative to speak first.
But he wasn't blind, he had been in charge of the 9910 project team for so long, how could he not tell who was the one who was down-to-earth, doing serious research, and who was a slacker?
How could he not tell who was sincere and who had hundreds of sly tricks up their sleeve?
"It's not your fault, I was used as a pawn."
"Only after Old Zhu talked to me did I find out."
"At that time, I was already quite impressed with you, both your courage and your research level later on."
"The research and development progress of the Gogou Tank Phase I modification exceeded my initial expectations."
Chen Jin Chao's initiative to speak was like breaking the ice.
Ma Bo Ming immediately followed suit.
Once misunderstandings between men are cleared up, their relationship heats up quickly.
It's as if having had a conflict is the threshold for the relationship to advance.
"You're pretty amazing too."
"I've seen your profile, it's not easy to come all the way from a small town."
"I've also seen all your research papers since college, many aspects are very good, you have your own ideas."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't let you continue to be responsible for the research of the subsystem."
Chen Jin Chao praised him in return.
But what he said was true, Ma Bo Ming's life script was exactly the 'small town questioner' script, children from small towns were told by their families from a young age to study, to study to change their life and destiny.
Thus began his journey from elementary school to college, and during his graduate studies, he became Old Zhu's student.
His talent for learning was almost his only advantage in life.
His research ability was beyond reproach.
It's just that he was too 'innocent' at times, and he was out of place in the administrative system.
But when these words came out of Chen Jin Chao's mouth, Ma Bo Ming's face turned red, he quickly and modestly said, "It's all thanks to Old Zhu's guidance."
As soon as the words fell, it was as if they had said everything they needed to say for the past two days.
Again, silence fell between the two.
After a long time, Ma Bo Ming finally spoke, curiously asking, "Our new Gogou tank, was it always meant to be this way in your initial design?"
"Yes, it should be epoch-making!"
After saying this, Chen Jin Chao dropped his cigarette, said he was leaving first, and turned to leave decisively.
It's just that this figure was a little too dazzling.
It made Ma Bo Ming, whose room had always been filled with all kinds of tank models, his eyes shining with excitement.
......
After this short episode,
The various research and development works of the 9910 project are still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Good news is also coming one after another.
"The 'tube wall' effect meets the armor, research and development improvement successful!"
"New 'dual-defense' reactive armor, research and development improvement successful!"
"Physical response armor, research and development improvement successful!"
"New twelve-cylinder diesel turbocharged engine, successfully breaks through 1000 kilowatts of power!"
.........
These encouraging news, further accelerated the research and development progress of the 9910 Phase I modification.
Seeing that other subsystems have made breakthroughs, but their own indicators have not yet been met.
This made a breath of 'involution' gradually spread.
No, it's just called internal competition consciousness has been raised.
Chen Jin Chao's Chief Engineer's office, also from the initial 'quiet', gradually became bustling with visitors every day.
Knowing Chen Jin Chao's research ability, who would be stupid enough not to ask for advice if they couldn't solve a problem?
"Chief Engineer Chen, we have widened the gun barrel inner diameter, but we lack the corresponding ammunition for adaptation tests, the application has been submitted, but the higher ups still said that they are coordinating with the military factory."
"Wait, I'll make a call."
"Hey, Xian Chao, send me some ammunition here. Yes, the specifications are..."
What is the essence of a military industry expert?
What is the prestige of a military industry expert?
This is it.
The project team researchers who came to report were dumbfounded.
Things that required coordination from above, Chen Jin Chao solved with one phone call.
No wonder he was the Deputy Chief Engineer!
Even the most obsessed with 'connections', 'resources', and 'network' mountain-topists were convinced.
If you have this ability, you should have said so earlier!
Why are we kicking the iron plate?
The 9910 project team was finally united at this moment.
This further fueled the research and development progress of the Gogou main battle tank.
Even in the recent model confirmation meeting, the Gogou Phase I modified main battle tank was officially named 'Gogou C-type main battle tank'!
C, representing the first letter of Chen Jin Chao's name!
This means that this model of the Gogou main battle tank is Chen Jin Chao's masterpiece!
"Comrade Jin Chao, you've really made a name for yourself, you've played the entire land force equipment through and through!"
The military commission leader's second meeting with Chen Jin Chao was at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the first Gogou C-type main battle tank.
What he said was not without reason.
Tanks, as the brightest pearl at the top of the land force's weapons and equipment technology tree, have now also been picked by Chen Jin Chao.
"Not really."
Chen Jin Chao replied calmly.
But beside him, Ma Bo Ming was excited as if he was getting married for the first time, entering the bridal chamber for the first time...
