Village chief, your township enterprise sells laser cannons?

Chapter 26 Lin Man is a good comrade!

When he asked this question, Du Mingfeng's face was full of smiles, but those smiles were somewhat eerie.

Lin Man quickly waved his hand: "Heaven and earth bear witness! Director Du! I have paid all the wages owed by the village collective enterprise, and I have even paid the water and electricity bills and garbage transportation fees."

"I got this money through a classmate who got me an order for a metal processing plant. Thanks to this order, the workers are working overtime and we've managed to barely get production back on track."

"The electronics factory has no orders, so we're temporarily idle."

"And you've probably heard about the amazing feats of those old men in our village. The electronics factory was idle, so we got them some high-tech stuff!"

Lin Man emphasized the word "high-tech," and Jiang Tao, who was standing next to him, immediately got out of the car and headed towards the warehouse after hearing his explanation.

After standing at the warehouse entrance for a while to get a clear look at the situation inside, he returned to the car door and said, "Just as he said, there were more than a dozen old men inside, leading a few young men who were busy."

"The ones making all the noise are those old men!"

Hearing that the commotion was coming from several old men, Du Mingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, while simultaneously casting an inquiring glance at Lin Man:

"In yesterday's video, there was a voice mentioning that your factory received over 200 million yuan. Did you use that 200 million yuan to pay wages?"

"Where did that 200 million come from?"

"Was it the money returned by Lin Yaozu's wife? Or are you raising funds again?"

"The advance payment for that order that the metal processing plant is currently processing!" Lin Man lowered his head and quickly wrote down the names of the four existing village collective enterprises in Hongxing Village, as well as the names of the enterprises that were being registered. He marked them with arrows to clearly indicate the flow of funds, and then turned around and put the chart in front of Du Mingfeng.

After lingering on the picture for a moment, Du Mingfeng's gaze was naturally drawn to the Red Star Information Technology Co., Ltd.

Because it's a name that didn't appear.

He followed the arrow below the name, reviewed the fund flows, sighed, and gave Lin Man an apologetic yet slightly admiring look:

"You did a good job. If I were your age and took over a place like this, I'd probably be getting a severe scolding from the boss by now."

"Write down all the necessary information clearly so we can report back to the province and you can go back home sooner."

After comforting Lin Man, Du Mingfeng continued to look around, but suddenly, his eyes widened, and he abruptly turned his head towards the warehouse, then roared at Jiang Tao:

"You just said that about a dozen old men were fighting in the warehouse?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Tao nodded, looking confused. He didn't quite understand why Du Mingfeng was so excited. The next second, Du Mingfeng reached out and pushed open the car door, then ran towards the warehouse.

As he ran, he made a sound like the food had gone bad.

He ran to the warehouse entrance and immediately saw the scene inside that horrified him.

In the brightly lit warehouse, a large, makeshift workbench occupied the center of the warehouse. Some parts were placed on the workbench, and several young people were fiddling with those parts.

There were several elderly men with gray hair nearby, holding A4-sized printed drawings. As the young people fiddled with the drawings, the elderly men checked them step by step.

Further to the side were several elderly men with gray hair, dressed in blue overalls from the 1960s and 70s. These men were also holding blueprints, but they had rolled the blueprints into a stick and were frantically hitting other people on the head.

"I'm the oldest, so listen to me!"

"Lin Yongqiang, what good is your age? After the Korean War, we told you to go to school, but you refused, saying you wanted to go home and farm. Last time we were building that anti-aircraft gun, I said we should use titanium alloy, but you said aluminum alloy would be cheaper. Look what the police said! Aluminum alloy is no good, it's dangerous. So now you have to listen to me!"

"Get out of my way, both of you! You're like a pig who's only half-baked, trying to act all high and mighty. I worked as a fitter at the Yangcheng Machinery Factory for 30 years. When it comes to batteries, I'm the most qualified to talk about this!"

"You have no right to speak. Last time, the breechblock on your vehicle wasn't properly inserted. This is the battery, this is the chemicals—this is what I, as a demolition expert, specialize in. I used to dismantle artillery shells!"

"Have you no shame! That gunpowder you got last time, you said it wasn't afraid of moisture, and what happened? It was full of water!"

"What can I do about the resurgence of the humid climate? Even the Heavenly King himself couldn't do anything about it!"

"If it weren't for you giving Lin Jia Hui that damp gunpowder, that idiot wouldn't have blown it up. If it hadn't blown up, the cops would have only arrested those drug makers, and our cannons wouldn't have been seized!"

The older men grew angrier as they talked, and they pounded the blueprints, which they had rolled up into sticks, harder and harder.

Having figured out the situation, Du Mingfeng quickly called Jiang Tao over to separate the old men:

"Old men, we can't fight!"

"Let's talk this over properly!"

Separated from the two of them, Lin Yongqiang subconsciously turned his gaze to the doorway and noticed Lin Man standing there, as well as the car behind Lin Man with the Discipline Inspection Commission label on it. His face twitched, and he instantly understood Lin Man's purpose in having him call these old bones together.

He coughed twice, walked up to Du Mingfeng, unfolded the blueprint in his hand, pointed to the things on the blueprint and said:

"What we are making now is a battery. In the design drawings, this battery will be encapsulated with thermal adhesive and then placed on a wind-cooled semiconductor heat sink."

After explaining for a moment, Lin Yongqiang pointed to Lin Yongxin and Lin Yongming beside him: "These two guys said that the battery's energy density is too high, and the heat spreader on the drawing board isn't good enough. We need to add water cooling."

"You be the judge!"

After hearing the explanation, Du Mingfeng also turned his attention to the blueprint in Lin Yongqiang's hand. After just one glance, he noticed the so-called energy density of the battery.

7.1 kWh/kg.

Upon seeing the number, he was immediately stunned.

As members of the Discipline Inspection Commission, they have also handled some matters related to new energy investments and have come into contact with the so-called battery energy density.

In those files, this value is generally around 0.34.

But now, a 7.1 has appeared here.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Man, who was standing at the door, then quickly turned back to look at the old men beside him.

In that instant, he understood the meaning of the number 7.1.

This is an impossible number!

This is the difficult problem that Lin Man left for these old men.

If left unattended, these old men will start making guns and cannons. At their age of 80 or 90, even if they do manage to make guns and cannons, the police can only confiscate the items and can't do anything to them.

Even confiscation had to be done with extreme care, for fear of bumping into or damaging these old men who had come from the battlefield.

But now, Lin Man simply wrote down a number, made some random drawings, and used the guise of high technology to control these old men.

Lin Man is a good comrade, a visionary and insightful comrade.

Having figured this out, Du Mingfeng reached out and took Lin Yongqiang's hand: "Senior, back then you fought bloody battles to drive out the invaders so that everyone could live in peace!"

"Now that everyone is living a peaceful life, we should shift our focus to security."

"We need to make things safer, with more security redundancy."

"What do you think about enabling everyone to live safely?"
