Steel steam and flame

Returning to their temporary residence, Ovelia and Frito walked into the house, where several people were busy processing the information coming from the radios.

"What's new? At the factory." Ovelia asked. Frito walked straight to the table and sat down, pouring a large glass of wine to drink.

"Not yet. After what happened the previous three times, the enemy's actions have become more and more cautious. They are all joint operations, and they are very close to each other. Together, we must be alert to our behinds. It will be difficult for our people to find opportunities, and it will be difficult to follow them. It's out of the question. The main problem is that they are far more familiar with the factory area than we are." Someone answered.

"Just continue to monitor." Ovelia responded calmly as she had expected such an answer. She took the cup from Frito and said thank you, "The sensor signal generator has been installed. , I hope to receive the information sent as soon as possible and mark the detailed location on the map. This kind of work should be very simple for your technology, right?"

The person who answered nodded: "No problem."

"About noon tomorrow, remember to notify other teams to prepare. Also, those who are following the heavy trucks tonight, remember to let them think carefully about why today's operation failed when they rest."

"Also, let those technicians check and maintain the armor. There should be no malfunctions in the lubrication and control parts. It can be dispatched at any time. I don't want to wait even one more minute when I need to use it." Ovelia added.

After the two of them finished drinking, they each returned to their rooms to rest. The temperature outside is approaching the coldest time of the day.

When Sotagang returned to the factory, Ye Jielin had already left, and the bullet heads on the table were all carved with delicate and even crosses.

"Acting Chief, the matters at the airport have been dealt with, and good accommodation has been arranged." Seeing Sotagang returning with the team, the temporary manager stepped forward to report the situation, "The ammunition has been replenished, and it was temporarily purchased here. The acidic platinum bullets are powerful enough to meet the requirements. There is just a little trouble with the platinum gunpowder.”

"Maybe we need to increase the amount of explosives." The man said, "Time is a bit tight. Although there are many factories here, the manufacturing machines are all related to the processing of parts. I have also visited some small workshops that produce weapons and ammunition. No machine has been found that can be used to suppress artillery shells. The accuracy of the suppression is not good, and the platinum gunpowder encapsulated in steel may not reach the intended explosive power."

"Just follow your own ideas. The size of things buried underground is not a big problem." Sotagang replied comfortingly, "Have you seen those people coming out of the airport? What do you think?"

"This... I can only say that ordinary personnel can be considered the elite in our hands. They are a group of people who have undergone rigorous training."

"That's good."

Cassia had finished reading "The History of Steam Power" and when he started to read the more interesting part for the second time, the hour hand of the wall clock pointed to one and a half in the morning. Ye Jielin came back shortly afterwards and went straight to the hot spring in the courtyard with her clothes.

"The goods from Sotagang will be shipped to the factory for testing tomorrow morning. If you are interested, you can go and have a look." Half an hour later, Ye Jielin knocked on the door and said.

Cassia opened the door, and the familiar scene was still in front of her. Fixing her wet hair had become an unavoidable habit in Ye Jielin's life.

"You can leave later. Starting tomorrow, there won't be enough time to rest." Ye Jielin fiddled with her hair, accelerating the evaporation of the water in it, and some of it splashed on Cassia's face.

After saying sorry, but still not apologetic, Ye Jielin turned around and walked to her room, turning off the light in the hall.

After waking up very early, Cassia's energy has remained high since the end of the operation. The forced rest was just lying on the bed with eyes closed. Rather than doing this, he prefers to get up and read the book he brought with him under the light.

Just like the habit in the military school, Ye Jielin always came and knocked on the door on time.

"Besides tasks and reading, have you never thought about anything else in your head?" Without warning, Cassia looked at Ye Jielin's serious face and didn't know how to answer.

Ye Jielin didn't want to get the answer, and the two simply settled their breakfast in silence. Ye Jielin quickly put on her makeup and went out in the morning. It was the time when the factory's day shift and evening shift alternated. There would be a lot of workers on the train.

He also wiped it on Cassia's face, slightly changing the serious edges on that face. Ye Jielin looked at the face in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction before setting off. The two of them each carried a suitcase, one large and one small, like a group of people traveling to another place. They walked through a quiet path that was not long and arrived at the nearest platform.

Unlike at night, the deserted railway lines really showed their vitality in Cassia's eyes. Reliance is a frequent visitor to this city. The violent friction sound and the constant vibration of the ground wake the city up from the silence of the night. The early morning mist and steam from numerous trains have been suspended above the railway.

The sunlight has not yet brought any warmth, so it has no other effect except deepening the richness of the color of the steam. The shadows on the faces of the workers around them also had a rosy color, but it could not erase the fatigue accumulated over time. While thinking that she was one of them a year ago, Cassia followed Ye Jielin into the car.

After Sotagang returned to the factory in the evening, he did not go back. He only rested on a chair for some time. The daily life of intermediary agents seems to be like this, and goods occupy an important position in it.

"Has everything been repaired?" Ye Jielin asked Suotagan in the factory's production workshop.

Following a batch of raw materials in the early morning, two super vapor compression devices were transported into the factory. The five fixed platforms for inspection were completed more than ten days ago according to the designed drawings.

It took a lot of manpower to move several medium-sized forging presses with aerial cranes overnight, and use the shock absorbing devices below to test the ultimate pressure of the repaired compression devices. The fixed platform is about four meters high and is made of steel. Rows of hoses and copper pipes not only transport steam, but also contain high-pressure pipes for the hydraulic system. Designed after construction engineering machinery, the fixation function of the super vapor compression device mainly relies on them.

The factory had issued a notice to close today the day before yesterday. It was rare for the usually noisy factory to have such a quiet day. There was not a single worker in sight at this time, and the technical engineers who tested and fixed the compression device were all brought by Sotagang himself.

The aviation crane moved slowly over now, slowly lifting the super vapor compression device in the box and preparing to install it on the fixed platform.
