“Ah?” This time, it was Tie Zha’s turn to be shocked. Originally, he only wanted to try his luck, but he didn’t expect that not only did Master Ya know, he was also a former member of Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries. It seemed that he had really found the right person. He was just about to ask when he saw Master Ya’s worried expression and let out a long sigh.

“What’s the matter?” Tie Zha asked.

“I’m afraid” Master Ya closed his eyes and said weakly, “I’m going to disappoint you.”

His tone was filled with desolation and sorrow. Tie Zha involuntarily fell silent, quietly staring at the old man, waiting for his next step. After a long moment of silence, Master Ya moved his chair away and beckoned Tie Zha to sit down. He sat down beside the workbench and talked about the past …

One hundred and eighty years ago, after the final war, Northern Heavy Industries, which had a close relationship with Glory Faith, was forcibly split into three parts by the new World Council, namely, Harley Industries, Wilderness Heavy Industries and Great Wall Company.

The predecessor of Chunqiu Heavy Industries was the core layer of Beifang Heavy Industries, which included the elites of management, research and development, technology and other departments. Back then, the reason why this group of people left angrily and went to the central continent for nothing was because one day, they would be able to regain the glory of the Northern Heavy Industries. In the harsh living environment, they rely on their hands and wisdom to create the best products.

However, with the changes of the times, the internal division of the Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries gradually emerged. Some of them want to live a better life, they are unwilling to make high-end products, want to make low-end, more profitable; There were also some people who hoped to get more investment, suggesting that they should get closer to the nobles of Silver City and sell their shares. Some even suggested returning to the Northern Wilderness and merging with the Great Wall Company or Wilderness Heavy Industries …

Lu Chengshan, the CEO of that generation, stood out from the crowd and adhered to the tradition of Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries. While maintaining the purity of his shares, he only produced the highest-end products, no matter how few orders he placed. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the declining situation, nor could he gather the disorganized hearts and minds. In the end, he was exhausted and died on his desk.

Until sixteen years ago, due to the intensification of internal contradictions, the workers were unwilling to work, so that the production mistakes appeared. Two custom-made mechas suffered serious quality problems. Since then, the reputation of Chunqiu Heavy Industries has plummeted, coupled with huge compensation payments and deliberate exclusion from mainstream society. Just as the so-called fallen trees and monkeys scattered, the walls collapsed and the crowd pushed forward, this big tree that was shaking in the wind and rain finally collapsed with a loud boom.

At present, Chun Qiu Heavy Industries only had an empty shell left. Those who had the ability went out to earn a living, and the rest were ordinary workers who barely managed to survive by undertaking mechanical maintenance and some small orders.

“That’s probably the case” Master Ya lowered his head and said. His eyes were dim and dim, as if they were much older in an instant.

“Can you show me?” After a moment of silence, Tie Zha raised his head and asked.

Master Ya nodded thoughtfully and said to himself, “Alright, it’s time to go back and take a look …”

Then Tie Zha returned to his office and asked Quinn to prepare a jeep to accompany him to Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries. Although Master Ya was trustworthy, it didn’t mean that others could, so he had to bring Quinn to stand up for him.

Two hours later, the vehicle was ready. Tie Zha drove the jeep to pick up Master Ya, opened the plane gate, ate something in Quicksand Town, and headed straight for Lizard City in the north of the central continent.

Lizard City was the location of the Central Heavy Industries. It was a large-scale surface industrial city, five times larger than Sha City. There were also many small towns with mainly mechanical processing in the surroundings. Chunqiu Heavy Industries was located in one of the small towns called Fengkou.

“Master Ya, do you still have the ability to make Mechanical Power Armor?” After getting on the highway, Tie Zha, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked Cang Haiya.

‘”To be exact, it should be them” Cang Haiya sighed. “I’ve been away for almost ten years. I don’t know what that place looks like. But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten ship has three nails. If it’s an ordinary mechanical power armor, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Is the quality guaranteed?” Tie Zha asked.

“That depends on who we compete with” Cang Haiya smiled and said, “If it’s Central Heavy Industries or Wilderness Heavy Industries, just throw them down a few streets.”

“Even now?” Tie Zha was stunned. According to what the other party had said before, the current Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries had already fallen into disarray.

“Even now!” Cang Haiya said confidently. Inadvertently, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

“What if it was before?” Tie Zha couldn’t help but wonder what the Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries were like at their peak.

“If it was in the past, Harley Industries and RC Company would be nothing!” Cang Haiya said in a very angry tone.

“Is it that powerful?” Tie Zha immediately questioned. He had been picking up garbage in Tieshan Town for many years, and he knew which brand was worth the most. The quality of Halley’s products was absolutely first-class. Every time they appeared, scavengers would fight for it. The same parts could be sold several times, or even more than ten times, than those of other manufacturers.

“Young man, have you heard of the Wind Forest Volcano?” Cang Haiya did not answer his question. Instead, he smiled and asked.

“I’ve heard of it, but it’s rare.” Tie Zha replied truthfully. He had never seen a custom-made mecha that was used by Origin Energy users.

“Its speed is like the wind, its Xu Rulin is like the forest, its invasion is like fire, its motionlessness is like a mountain. This is our Wind Forest Volcano, the most powerful mecha in the world.” Said Cang Haiya.

“Compared to the Tiger Mech?” Tie Zha asked. Although he shouldn’t compare mass-produced mecha to custom-made mecha, this was the most advanced mecha he had ever seen.

“It’s incomparable, just like a giant and a three-year-old child, not on the same order of magnitude.” Said Cang Haiya.

At this moment, Quinn, who was driving, couldn’t help but interrupt, “Sir, you’re not bragging, are you?”

“We, the Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries, have never boasted. The Temple doesn’t like us, and the World Council doesn’t like us. But as far as I know, there are still eleven Typhoon Forest Volcanoes in the Temple Crusaders. They have been in service for nearly twenty years, and they haven’t been willing to eliminate them. This is the best proof.” Cang Haiya said in a dignified manner.

“That’s amazing!” Quinn sighed.

“It’s just …” Cang Haiya looked at the traffic and sighed. His gaze gradually dimmed. “I can’t do the Wind Forest Volcano from back then …”

“Why?” Tie Zha asked.

‘”I don’t know” Cang Haiya shook his head and said, “Everyone spent many years, but they couldn’t find the reason” He thought for a moment, then said, “Logically speaking, the technology is much more advanced than a hundred years ago, and the equipment is much more complete, but for some reason, the Fenglin Volcano is getting worse and worse, from generation to generation.”

As he spoke, Cang Haiya fell into deep thought. Tie Zha and Quinn did not disturb him. One continued to concentrate on driving while the other fell asleep.

A few hours later, the sun set in the west and night fell. The jeep drove off the highway and stopped at a nearby bar. As the journey was long, the three of them decided to rest for the night and set off tomorrow morning.

The bar was bustling with people and merchants. Some aunts with aprons and white scarves held their plates high and squeezed through the noisy crowd. Most of the guests here were small businessmen or truck drivers with tattoos on their bare arms.

During dinner, Cang Haiya talked about the strengths and characteristics of the major Silver City Group Companies.

First are two big high-end manufacturers, Harley Industries and RC.

Harley Industries is a combination of Norland Heavy Industries’ high-end products division and Lombardi’s furnace smelter, North Lombardi’s Gordon Ordnance Factory, and Lombardi Jr. ‘s Mark Machinery Manufacturing Factory. Due to Lombar’s strong financial resources and its elite policy, which included a large number of talented people, and the subsequent poaching of 70% of the senior technicians from Northern Heavy Industries, the development of the Harley industry was very rapid. In just 20 years, it had become a world-famous high-end brand.

The biggest advantage of Harley’s industry is its metal-smelting technology, which produces steel with much higher parameters than its peers. It is because of good steel that the Harley industry is ahead of its peers in engine technology, which is why the mechanical parts of the Harley industry are particularly valuable.

The predecessor of RC Company was RC Precision Instrument Manufacturing Factory. In the beginning, they were famous for producing test instruments. Its greatest advantage lies in its cautious and rigid management, where its employees are like sophisticated robots that almost never make mistakes. It is said that the floor of RC Company is incomparably clean. Even if it is wiped with clean dust-free cloth for hundreds of square meters, it will not become dirty or black. They are outstanding in seamless welding, integrated circuits, pipeline fabrication, memory metals, etc. due to their heinous working attitudes.

Next, there are the Wilderness Heavy Industries, Central Heavy Industries and Western Heavy Industries, commonly known as the Three Great Heavy Industries.

Wilderness Heavy Industries is a combination of the middle-end product department of North Heavy Industries and dozens of smelters, machinery manufacturers, and ordnance factories in South City. Its advantages lie in its vast land area, complete production chains, and even some factories specializing in the production of gears in one location. The division of labor is extremely detailed. Therefore, they have a great advantage in industrial mass production, can guarantee the output and quality at the same time. From a strategic point of view, Wilderness Heavy Industries is definitely much more important than Harley Industries.

Central Heavy Industries is the world’s largest machinery manufacturer in Silver City. Its scale is two times larger than that of Northern Heavy Industries and Western Heavy Industries, accounting for 35% of the world machinery market share. Her strengths are big and her weaknesses are big. The quality of her products is the lowest among the three heavy industries.

As for Western Heavy Industries, it is the oldest machinery manufacturer, dating back more than two thousand years to the automobile factory. Due to the strict environmental management in the Western Continent, the production of Western Heavy Industries is greatly restricted, so that their products are mainly exquisite and environmentally friendly, such as the famous Flamingo style, which uses much less materials than other mecha.

Finally, there are low-end machinery manufacturers, Great Wall and many small and medium-sized machinery manufacturers. In the low-end field, the Great Wall Company was one of the top companies. Whether it was output or quality, it was guaranteed to a certain extent. The most famous is the Great Wall pickup truck, durable, cheap and good quality, Elda’s favorite; In addition, there were eight large trucks behind the Great Wall, the construction mecha “Hercules” and “Diggers”, all of whom were the favorite of the lower-floor workers.
