Chapter 75: Failure everywhere
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
Before, when the gate watching mechanic barred him out, Li Huaxing paid him no heed.
Now the symbolic machine, which had gone through the hard-work of tens of thousands of people, and millions in funding, was called a low tech piece of trash, and had nothing worth learning.
How could Li Huaxing be happy at all.
Hence, when they got back to Huaxing Heavy Industry, Li Huaxing decided that he was going to expand the old man’s horizon; to get his lost face back.
After exactly 27 minutes passed, the pure black Rolls-Royce, stabily drove through the gates of Huaxing Heavy Industry’s second work yard.
Huaxing Heavy Industry in total had three separate work yards, each of them taking up frightening amounts of land, and each yard had automation that tried to outdo the others.
The first yard and second yard were right next to each other, there was just a scenic river in the middle. As for the third yard, it was right beside the old factory, still under construction.
Having returned to his home factory, Li Huaxing felt as if he had gotten some face back, as he very pleasingly invited Ye Qing and the master artisan out of the car.
The master artisan was still there casually being himself, but Ye Qing was already envious and shocked beyond words.
Because Huaxing Heavy Industry’s area was serious too big, so when Ye Qing took a glance around, all he saw were machines and seas of steel.
Massive steel workshops could be seen everywhere. Tall steel cranes filled every single pathway in the factory, and in the outdoors parking lot were parked rows upon rows of brand new industrial vehicles.
The number of working industrial vehicles was beyond count. Furthermore, there were also some vehicles that were unidentifiable by Ye Qing that kept on buzzing past him from time to time, with huge parts in tow.
Li Huaxing, pleased with himself, turned around and asked the master artisan how he felt about the factory.
The master artisan didn’t want to hit on his pride, so he simply didn’t respond. However, it was quite clear from the looks in his eyes, that this factory was seriously too far behind in everything.
Li Huaxing almost had a heart attack from his look. All those clients and inspection teams, which one of them wasn’t shocked and awed?
Yet the old man didn’t even use one word to describe it……
Li Huaxing was pissed beyond reason, straight up told his driver to get an electric golf cart, and headed off towards the mining haul truck production workshop.
I really want to see what the old man can do.
The gold cart stopped in front of a 20 meter tall, 800 meter wide, white steel structure. When they entered it, there were already 20-30 workers in blue uniforms and several engineers in grey uniforms waiting.
Behind that group of people, were seven 240 ton mining haul trucks, each at a different stage of completion.
Out of those mining haul trucks, the closest one to completion was at the very front, with a completed structure that was just missing some safety parts. The one at the very back only had the front of the truck structure completed, with its massive engine and generator still exposed.
Standing in front of those giant monsters, Ye Qing could only sigh in marvel.
That was industrialization, one of the most important indexes used to estimate how powerful a country was.
Naturally he was envious of all of this. However Ye Qing can most definitely guarantee that in the not so distant future, his Monster Factory would also be able to produce these Titanic monsters and at even better quality.
“Master Qiao, how do these workshops of mine appear in your eyes?” Right now, the only thing that Li Huaxing wanted to hear, was a single praise from the master artisan.
“This workshop costed nearly 1 billion to build, is 150,000 square meters large, and is fully leveled with steel sand. Inside, everything is automated, all mechanical equipment is garnered with artificial intelligence, and even the welding is done through mechanical arms.”
“Zero hand welding, zero hand work, zero human movements……” Introducing up to there, Li Huaxing suddenly stopped as he just couldn’t continue.
Because although the master artisan was listening to all of that, it was quite clear how much he cared for the super high tech workshop just from his lazy expression alone.
Li Huaxing almost went berserk on the master artisan. If it wasn’t for the astronomical amount of mechanical knowledge he possessed, Li Huaxing would’ve definitely had his driver drag the master artisan out for a beating that would only end with a praise.
Yes, right now Li Huaxing just wanted the master artisan to praise him just god damn once.
“Chairman, this…… is the master you’ve invited back?” The leading engineer was someone who had clearly aged, wearing a pair of thick farsighted glasses, and had a posture that was filled with knowledge.
20 some pairs of eyes gathered onto the master artisan and Ye Qing. Furthermore, those looks were all filled with doubt.
Those engineers knew every nook and cranny of every part used in the mining trucks. They had researched for this long but were still unable to produce a result, so how could the old man be able to find it?
The boss had definitely has gone crazy, and randomly found someone who had knowledge in the mechanical sector, to come and save him.
“Yes Master Wong, this is Master Qiao. Why don’t you go ahead and get him caught up to speed on our problems right now.” Li Huaxing seemed to be well respected by this engineer, as he didn’t put on his CEO attitude at all.
If Ye Qing’s old professors were here, then they would definitely be able to identify the leading engineer, and would even very politely go up to him to ask how he was.

The leading engineer was called Wong Caiqi, the previous Mechanical Engineering Dean at the University of Zhongyun.
In all of Zhongyun, he could definitely be ranked within the top 5 on mechanical knowledge. A long time ago when he was still a professor, he had published over 40 pieces of international writings and each of them had over 15 others referencing them.
Now, not only was he the chief engineer for Huaxing Heavy Industry, he was also participating in more than 10 provincial level industrial research projects. He was also the only person in all of Huaxing Heavy Industry that could talk back to Li Huaxing constantly and get away with it.
“Hi, Master Qiao.” Wong Chaichi came up and shook hands with the master artisan, but his heart was filled with doubt. Well, since he was someone invited over by the boss, then might as well as explain everything to him and quickly get it over with.
Having completed introductions, he led Ye Qing and the master artisan, right to the front of the almost completed mining haul truck.
“This is a nearly completed 240 ton mining haul truck. There’s a total of 7 different trucks here, each at a different degree of completion, which can easily provide you with a view of the internal structure.”
The master artisan felt that those super outdated things, had no learning value for him at all.
“In my eyes this thing is full of problems, so why don’t you get to the point.” The master artisan felt as if he was already polite enough.
“*Cough cough* ~ ” Ye Qing who was right beside him had a coughing fit, and the meaning of it was quite clear — Shut it, let them have their face.
Without the need to say another sentence, the workers and engineers had already gone on a riot; every single one of them was violent and pissed beyond belief.
If looks could bite, then the master artisan would probably already be a pile of bones lying on the ground.
“What did you say old man?” A young worker rushed out from the back, with bloodshot eyes: “Are you blind? Our Huaxing Heavy Industry has been in the industry for several decades, and is only now able to make these 240 tonnage trucks, yet you say they’re full of problems?”
“Come come come ~ ” The young man immediately ripped off his shirt and exposed the perfect pecs underneath: “If you’re not able to state a single reason, then don’t think about leaving.”
“Out!” A flash of disdain flashed past Li Huaxing’s face.
The young man opened and closed his mouth several times, then without saying anything, went back to the group still pissed.
The master artisan on the other hand felt very speechless, he felt that he was already holding back enough. Apart from the bodyguard, he hadn’t spoken to anyone else.
Yet why were this group of people still treating these pieces of garbage like priceless jewels……
Ye Qing also became quite unhappy, since the master artisan was his worker. Having been pointed at and yelled at by someone else, then wasn’t that just dropping his face?
But since Li Huaxing had already made this worker back down, then Ye Qing couldn’t really say anything about it either.
“The problem is in the power system.” Chief engineer Wong Caiqi unhappily said.
“Right now we already have two working prototypes, but for some unknown reason, the power system for the first one locked up right after traveling around ten kilometers.”
“We’ve also tried the second one, but it had the same result.”
“It was only able to move around 10 kilometers before locking up. If we tried again after half an hour, it would move a little, but then die out completely.”
“I can confirm that there are no problems with our design. This is the result of basing it off of the 190 ton trucks.”
Having reached the main point, Wong Caiqi was somewhat ashamed: “Both vehicles experiencing the same problems means the problems aren’t random. We immediately stopped production, but having examined the mining haul truck from top to bottom multiple times, we still can’t find the problem.”
“It’s definitely not a problem with the precision, each and every single one of our parts meet the industry standards. Follow-up inspections also proved this.”
“So now here’s the problem, no problem with the design, no problem with precision, yet it can only move for 10 some kilometers, and this is without a payload.”
“*giggle ~*” The master artisan couldn’t hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.
Ye Qing had already felt, the death stares coming from those workers and engineers was…….
The master artisan without saying a word, walked up right to the 4th mining truck. The truck already had its chassis and power engines installed, allowing the direct viewing of it’s complete power structure.
Of course, the master artisan still needed to use the surrounding ladders to get up, otherwise he would still be stuck below the wheels.
In his bag were a bunch of measuring instruments, but the master artisan didn’t use them at all.
With just one look, a look that was definitely less than 5 seconds, the master artisan had already turned his head around to look at the pissed crowd below.
“Well since my boss told me to help out, then I’ll point out every single mistake for you.” The master artisan, just like someone teaching a kid, stated.
“These mining haul trucks……”
“It’s not that I’m targeting a specific point, but rather everything as a whole……”
“—– Are all failures.”
“Anyone got a sledge hammer? If you do can you pass it over?”
