Chapter 574: 574
Winning in a contest of skill against Sylvia meant that Xia Lei had won the respect of the Germans in Rheinmetall too . No one doubted Xia Lei’s ability from then on, and no one insulted Chinese manufacturing . The building of the XL2500 sniper rifle and Gust assault rifle production lines progressed smoothly with their help .
Liu Zhengnan show off his skill too . He became the hub of communication between Xia Lei and the German party . He had given the Germans tasks to do on behalf of Xia Lei several times, and directed them in their work . Xia Lei’s job was much more relaxed with him and Annina helping him to manage things .
Xia Lei dove into work too . He had obtained the permission to freely enter the precision processing workshop to use the intelligent lathe there to process all the precision parts he needed to prepare for the Thunder Dragon Intelligent Lathe .
A week passed in the blink of an eye .
Night time, in the precision processing workshop .
“Goodbye, Mr Xia . ”
“You’re working overtime again, Mr Xia?”
“Come for a drink with us, Mr Xia . How can you not drink German beer when you are in Germany?”
“Mr Xia, it’s my daughter’s birthday . Would you be able to come to her birthday party?”
Xia Lei smiled as he exchanged greetings with the machinists, but he declined all of their invitations tactfully, no exceptions . He had become familiar with the people of the precision processing workshop in a week, and he had a good friendship with them too .
The machinists of the precision processing workshop seemed to be used to Xia Lei’s refusals too, and they laughed and chatted as they exited the workshop . The workshop was quiet after they left .
Xia Lei processed another part, then shut down the intelligent lathe . His gaze went to a wall, and through it . Behind the wall was Rheinmetall’s artillery workshop . There were several pieces of machinery and equipment in there, as well as finished and half-finished pieces of various artillery .
He had been spying on the artillery workshop behind the wall like this for the past week .
Sneaking into the workshop next door was the simplest way to get Rheinmetall’s world-famous artillery technology, but it was too risky to do so . He was looking through the wall, observing the artillery workshop a section a day, accumulating it all . This was also a way to get what he wanted, only that it was tiring and used up a lot of time .
This was the reason why Xia Lei wanted to work overtime every day .
He was always trying to expand Thunder Horse Military Factory, and he dreamed of making it a world-class military enterprise . However, it was not possible with Thunder Horse Military Factory’s current power and product lines . It had to have a comprehensive stable of products, artillery, armoured vehicles, tanks, and even missiles and fighter planes to become a world-class military factory!
Rheinmetall AG was representative of Germany’s military industry, the king of Germany’s arms dealers, so Xia Lei wanted to make full use of any time he had here .
His left eye was like a camera equipped with learning technology, and his brain was like a hard disk, storing the information . There was no technology he could not learn or grasp with these two units of himself working together!
The artillery workshop behind the wall entered his field of vision silently . The model number of every piece of equipment, how each piece of equipment was positioned next to the other, details of finished products and half-finished products, as well as the precision of the electrical engineering and parts and so on… these things flowed through his left eye and to his brain like a stream . His brain was like a bottomless black hole, swallowing everything .
These things were all nourishment, nourishment for Thunder Horse Military Factory . Get these, and Thunder Horse Military Factory would grow rapidly!
Step, step…
A series of footsteps rang out .
Xia Lei stopped using his X-ray vision, turned towards the sound, and stared blankly .
The person walking through the workshop door was Sylvia .
She was in a black trench coat, and her long, wine-red hair trailed over her shoulders . The delicate features of her face, and that hot, sexy body, plus those black high heels she wore made her not seem like an elite machinist, but an international model doing a walk on the runway .
‘Didn’t she end work already? Why’s she back? What does she want?’ Several questions popped up in Xia Lei’s head at once .
These questions seemed simple but getting the answers would be difficult .
Sylvia stepped over to him with her sexy legs . She was a temptation .
“Uh . Miss Sylvia, didn’t you end work?” Xia Lei couldn’t stay quiet any longer, and he spoke .
Sylvia stopped before Xia Lei . She said nothing, but undid her trench coat all of a sudden . The black trench coat slipped open soundlessly, opening up like a door, a door to a garden, revealing the dazzling scenery behind it .
Sylvia abruptly did a twirl, then started dancing slowly . The black trench coat flew from her to land on Xia Lei’s shoulder .
The trench coat she had worn had a fragrance on it, and Xia Lei did not know if it was from her body, or from some expensive perfume . It smelt good anyway, and was rather seductive .
Xia Lei laughed dryly . “What are you trying to do?”
