Just as Chen Nian expected, Wang Jiancheng completed his technical output in just one day. Before finally submitting it to the 611 Institute, he even called Chen Nian to confirm his intention.

Of course Chen Nian had no objection. After all, the real buyer was Xinghuo, who was himself.

Therefore, price negotiations also went smoothly. Wang Jiancheng transferred the technology in the form of patent licensing, and Xinghuo paid him a one-time licensing fee.

In this transaction, Wang Jiancheng received 6.5 million.

——

Of course, the most important price is actually the control software he adjusted. As he said, with such simple requirements, those hardware technologies are really not worth a few dollars.

This price made Wang Jiancheng extremely satisfied. On the day he received the money, he transferred two million to Chen Nian's card without any explanation, making Chen Nian dumbfounded.

Good guy, this comes with a kickback, right?

After much talk, Chen Nian returned one million and let the remaining one million lie in his bank account to gather dust.

What he is most concerned about now is how effective this exoskeleton is.

The first set of exoskeletons made by Wang Jiancheng himself has been sent to Norinco as a sample. It is estimated that the assembly line version will be born in more than a week.

The workers on the Deep Blue 16 project only have to work hard for more than one week.

A few days later, there was a hidden corner on the deck of No. 001.

Two workers in uniforms sat side by side on the edge of the deck, their oily gloves were thrown aside. The older worker took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to the young man's hand and said:

"Come on, Xiao He, take one."

The young man named He Shuangniu hesitated for a moment, then declined:

"Uncle Feng, isn't it okay? The management regulations stipulate that we are not allowed to smoke on the work surface."

"If you really want to smoke, let's get off the boat. It's almost rest time anyway."

Hearing his words, Feng Tiecheng snorted disdainfully, lit a cigarette and smoked it, and then said:

"Who cares after this? Look at the overtime work in the past two days. Yesterday, when Xiao Li returned to the dormitory, his muscles cramped all over his body and he couldn't breathe. He was sent directly to the hospital for emergency treatment."

"The work intensity is too high. If the supervisor doesn't see the issue of smoking, the workers will probably start a fuss."

"Forget about smoking, take a look at the people working in the cabin. How many of them still follow the regulations and procedures? How can you save effort?"

"I said you must wear protective shoes, but I've seen quite a few without them these past few days. It's really unbearable for your feet after wearing them all day long - didn't the supervisor care?"

He Shuangniu was stunned, sighed and said:

"It is indeed too hard. I have been working here for several years, and no project has been as hard as this."

"Although this project is indeed important, it is not done in this way."

"What can I do?"

Feng Tiecheng blew out the smoke and continued:

"Without this aircraft carrier, we would have been bullied."

"You haven't watched the news, so you don't know how difficult it is outside now."

"Without an aircraft carrier, the advantage we finally gained by relying on aircraft will be gone in a short time."

"How can I say that the superiors are anxious? If I were in their position, I would be more anxious than them."

"It's pretty good now. The country does have some money. The salary has been doubled several times. The food is good and the nutrition has kept up. I can survive for the time being."

"If we hold on for a while longer and build this ship, we can be considered to have won a military medal."

He Shuangniu on the side nodded slowly, and after hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took a cigarette from Feng Tiecheng's hand.

While lighting the fire, he said vaguely:

"That's the same truth, but how long will it last? Judging from this progress, it will take at least one or two years."

"We won't be doing this for the past two years, right?"

"I'm really afraid something will happen."

Feng Tiecheng's eyes changed and he said nothing.

Yes, something will really happen if this continues.

Compared with He Shuangniu, he is actually an experienced old worker.

Before coming to Dalian Shipyard, he had participated in a large-scale project in the Kunlun Mountains and witnessed a worker collapse in front of him.

Therefore, he knows better than He Shuangniu what is the most dangerous thing in such large-scale projects.

It’s not a harsh natural environment, nor is it a “mysterious” or “unknown” risk.

It is a compromise made by rules and procedures after the intensity continues to increase!

Just like what they are doing now, because the work is too strenuous, they smoke in places where smoking is not allowed.

Because the working environment is too harsh, I don’t wear labor protection equipment when it is necessary.

These problems are not a big deal in the first place, and they do not necessarily pose risks.

But when problems are piled up one after another, and the supervisor in charge of the process tacitly turns a blind eye to them, the consequences will be serious.

By that time, the probability of accidents will not be "in case", but "inevitable".

Thinking of this, another thought came to his mind:

The supervisor of this project, or the person in charge of this project, do they really not know this?

How is this possible?

But why don't they care?

Maybe, they are just weighing the pros and cons.

They have "risk acceptance" for things outside these rules and are willing to pay some "price" in exchange for greater benefits.

It is difficult for Feng Tiecheng to say whether such "risk acceptance" is good or bad, right or wrong.

From a big picture perspective, there is definitely no problem in doing so.

But if it were specific to each person, he felt that something was wrong.

After all, in such an environment, I am likely to be one of the "prices" I will pay in the future.

The cigarette in his hand had burned to the end, and he put it out on the deck, then put it into his pocket.

Seeing his actions, He Shuangniu followed suit, but just as he was stamping out his cigarette butts, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that several people were walking over on the deck behind him.

One of them was wearing a white safety helmet specially designed for supervision.

He Shuangniu became nervous instantly. He quickly stuffed the cigarette butt into his pocket and walked away quickly with Feng Tiecheng.

"Don't call me, don't call me"

He Shuangniu prayed silently in his heart, wondering what the terrible thing was. Before he could take a few steps, a man's voice came from behind:

"Hey, Feng Tiecheng, wait a minute!"

Seeing that they could no longer escape, the two had no choice but to stop. Feng Tiecheng came forward with a smile on his face and said to the supervisor in the middle:

"Xu Gong, we are just resting here, nothing else."

The supervisor rolled his eyes and asked:

"Nothing else? I asked you to take out the things in your pocket now. Do you dare to take it out?"

"How many times have I told you that smoking is not allowed in the venue? You just don't listen, right?"

"No, no, I'm just too tired."

Feng Tiecheng nodded and bowed while secretly looking at the people next to the supervisor, but the more he looked, the colder his heart became.

I don’t know anyone, so it’s obviously not someone from the project.

There is a high probability that it is a leader who comes down from above to inspect the situation - and it is possible that he is the kind of person who enforces discipline.

This time, I am afraid that I will be caught as a typical example.

It's okay to be fined for being unlucky, but it would be troublesome if things got serious and you were fined.

You know, those who can work here are not temporary workers. If you are fired, it is equivalent to losing your iron job.

But what he didn't expect was that after he said this, the supervisor not only did not refute, but instead said:

"I know you're tired, but rules are rules."

"If there are no rules in the venue, will you be responsible if something happens?"

"When you get off work later, you can go find me to issue a fine, do you understand?"

Feng Tiecheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew what "go by myself" meant, but he didn't need to go.

I have been let go.

So, he quickly said thank you several times in succession, and after the supervisor saw his attitude, he just waved his hand gently and said:
To be continued...
