Chapter 59 - 59 59 You Call This a Model

?Chapter 59: Chapter 59: You Call This a Model? Chapter 59: Chapter 59: You Call This a Model? “Manufacturing and assembly, took an hour.” An hour later, when the last machine tool ceased operation, the produced shell was sent to the assembly area, and everyone began to anticipate.

“What on earth is it? They’re still covering it with something!” The audience craned their necks, eager to see what was behind the curtain.

He Xingzhou walked out from the assembly area and announced loudly: “Ladies and Gentlemen, after an hour of part manufacturing and assembly, we have completed the model of the Space Air Mother Ship!”

“Next, it shall make its appearance before everyone!”

“Three, two, one, open the curtain!” As He Xingzhou finished speaking, the curtain slowly opened, revealing the Space Air Mother Ship model hidden behind it.

“Is this, a model?” Nomura Kenji immediately widened his eyes, crying out involuntarily.

“Did they really make this?” An expert from Germany almost stood up in disbelief.

“No, no, no, it must just be a meticulous shell, it has to be!” Experts from the USA and France said, unwilling to believe that what they were seeing was as advertised.

Meanwhile, the audience collectively burst into excitement.

“Holy smokes, that’s so cool!”

“So dominant! It’s really awesome, they actually made it!”

“Incredible, this is just too incredible!”

“This is called a model, but I feel like I could sit in it and drive away!”

“My God, it’s more thrilling than watching blockbusters, like something straight out of a sci-fi movie!”

There were also screams from the audience, numerous cameras focused on the object, incessantly taking photos and videos.

Online viewers also saw this technological marvel at the same time.

Before their eyes was a sky blue-painted “Giant Eagle,” its size comparable to a heavy-duty truck, large and imposing!

Its shape resembled a soaring eagle with twin wings and a tail wing, and the central ship’s body was huge. Through a transparent glass cover, one could see all sorts of precision parts and structures inside.

Since it was a model, the internal structure wasn’t as rigorous, and the shell could be opened from the outside to observe the interior.

The Space Air Mother Ship model had several sections of armor deliberately left open on one side, revealing various chambers and part modules inside.

At first glance, the audience found it dazzling, the complex structure gave them a sense of awe.

Until the camera began to zoom in and magnify.

“Everyone can look at the big screen, it’s the enlarged internal structure,” said He Xingzhou.

On the screen, the enlargement scale kept expanding.

Magnified by ten times, the audience saw clearly defined chambers, the machine tools had worked without any confusion!

Magnified by twenty times, viewers could now see the texture of the components.

Magnified by a hundred times, everyone found that even at a hundredfold magnification, there were no issues with the model!

Moreover, this hundredfold magnification made the model look as if it were real! If it were not for the camera showing that it was magnified a hundred times, they would probably think it was the actual Space Air Mother Ship!

“Good Lord, the details! At a hundred times, it feels even more awesome!” the audience exclaimed.

“It’s no exaggeration to say, this model is cooler than my multi-million car!”

“I’ve been observing closely for a while, and I can only say two words, perfect! Irreproachable!”

“Ah! I want it so badly!”

“Can you sit on this model?”

He Xingzhou continued: “The machining precision of this model is exactly the same as what our machine tools previously demonstrated. All the important components can operate normally.”

“For example, right now, start it!”

He Xingzhou shouted, “Space Air Mother Ship, start!”

The Space Air Mother Ship was equipped with an intelligent controller which, upon recognizing He Xingzhou’s voice command, emitted a rumbling sound as the magnetic levitation engine began to operate!

To everyone’s disbelief, this behemoth comparable to a heavy truck actually “flew” off the ground!

Under He Xingzhou’s control, it even managed to circle the exhibition hall using magnetic levitation flight!

“Ladies and gentlemen, its current mass is over one hundred tons,” He Xingzhou added.

“One hundred tons?” Upon hearing He Xingzhou’s words, those foreign experts and entrepreneurs couldn’t stay seated!

They had seen with their own eyes that all the parts were manufactured on-site; the assembly area was initially empty, and there was no machinery on the stage that could have been used to transport anything from elsewhere.

This meant that all these parts were produced by the machine tool itself. A magnetic levitation motor assembly capable of supporting one hundred tons was just like that created!

Not a single screw or motor bearing was sourced from their products!

Now that this model of the Space Air Mother Ship could “take off,” they didn’t need any more testing to know that the machining technology of the machine tool was certainly up to par!

“They actually made it!” Nomura Kenji was horrified, Shen Zhou actually had such a strong level of industrial manufacturing!

“Just the magnetic levitation motor assembly alone attests that there is nothing wrong with the machine tool,” A German expert said, his face full of terror, “Assuming, as he said, that the other functional parts are also fine. Isn’t that terrifying? They’ve mastered most of the cutting-edge industrial machine tools!”

“Is this really just a model? No, this is not, this is a weapon!” A USA expert thought to himself as the model of the Space Air Mother Ship floated slowly in front of him.

“This thing with a slight modification, could become a heavy armored weapon capable of magnetic levitation flight! Too terrifying, I must report this to headquarters!”

He wasn’t just a relevant expert, he was also a member of USA’s intelligence organization!

“How is this possible? Did they really make it? What in the world is going on with He Xingzhou?” Other visitors from different countries were still in shock.

The live audience excitedly took photos, applauded, and cheered.

The live streaming audiences were even more active with their comments, sharing, and sending gifts. The popularity of the live streams skyrocketed, and some live streaming websites crashed several times unprepared, as they hadn’t expected He Xingzhou’s live showcase of a model to draw such a massive audience.

Among the audience at the event, when the Space Air Mother Ship model flew to Liang An, he couldn’t contain his emotional excitement and stood up, tears streaming down his face!

Seeing this, a nearby reporter immediately sensed a newsworthy story.

He promptly handed over the microphone and asked, “Sir, I am a reporter from Tech Frontier, may I ask why you are so moved?”

At this moment, the director also pointed the camera at Liang An, with the live audience equally curious.

It was understandable when young people got overly excited and screamed, but it was surprising to see this apparently stable elder become so moved that he cried.

Liang An had so much he wanted to say, and he stood up to take the interview.

He Xingzhou didn’t speak either, listening silently.

“The reason I shed tears is because I have seen the new hope for Shen Zhou’s machine tools and industry that we have not seen for several decades!” Liang An said, “I am the factory director of Qinzhou Machine Tool Factory, Liang An.”

“Does everyone know the current situation of our country’s machine tool enterprises? In 2008, Shen Zhou accounted for two of the world’s top ten machine tool factories! The rest were German, Japanese, and UK enterprises.”

“All these years later, German, Japanese, and UK enterprises on the list of the world’s top ten machine tool factories saw their revenues skyrocket. Yet Shen Zhou’s machine tool factories are no longer there.”

“The four pillar machine tool factories in our country, Fengtian Machine Tool Factory has huge losses; Liaodong Machine Tool Factory has gone bankrupt; Chuncheng Machine Tool Factory has been delisted. Our Qin Chuan Machine Tool Factory is still struggling!”

“Today, our country’s machine tool market size accounts for one-third of the global market, yet we can’t cultivate a single enterprise ranked in the global top ten?”

“It’s because we lack machine tools with ultra-precision processing! This has always been our achilles’ heel, for decades! It’s like a nightmare, haunting my mind!”

“Until today, I saw the exhibition hall here, saw Dragon Machine Tool, and the Space Air Mother Ship model it produced!”

“I know, the moment for Shen Zhou’s machine tools to surpass the world has arrived! We will finally one day, acquire the dominance in ultra-precision industrial manufacturing, and from now on, we will no longer be restricted! I’ve waited too long for this day, I am crying tears of joy!”

He grew more and more passionate as he spoke, his voice by the end, fervent and stirring!
