Chapter 19 The elimination rate reaches percent An hour passed in the blink of an eye. As time went by, the originally empty conference room began to become crowded. A group of Yan State military leaders filed into the conference room. "Mr. Wei!" "..." When these bigwigs walked into the conference room, the heads of the third-line military factories who had been waiting for a long time stood up, greeted them with respectful smiles on their faces, and nodded to them to express their greetings. …… Mr. Wei, the head of the Yan State’s military equipment department, stared sharply at the heads of the military factories in front of him. He raised his hand slightly and made a downward gesture, indicating that everyone should not be so reserved.
Then, he said in a calm tone: "Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend our military's second-generation main battle tank bidding conference. This conference is of great significance to our Yan country military, and I hope everyone can take it seriously. " Hearing this, the heads of the third-tier military factories quickly responded: "This is all part of our job." Then Mr. Wei invited the heads of the third-line military factories to sit down. After everyone was seated, Elder Wei, on behalf of the Yan State military, elaborated on the basic configuration requirements of the second-generation main battle tank: The second-generation main battle tank must have a powerful firepower system, be equipped with an advanced large-caliber smoothbore gun, and be equipped with high-performance ammunition. Tanks need to adopt composite armor or other new protection technologies to improve their defense capabilities. …… Wei Lao said in a serious voice. If the design of any third-tier military factory cannot meet the basic configuration of the second-generation main battle tank proposed by the Yan State military, then they do not need to introduce the design and development plan of their own main battle tank to everyone. Because it is unnecessary and the Yan State military looks down on it. "This……" "That……" There was a noisy discussion at the scene. Mr. Wei's words were like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the crowd. The heads of the third-line military factories looked at each other with expressions of astonishment and disbelief on their faces. No one expected that the military would be so decisive this time. The design of the second-generation main battle tank that did not meet the requirements of the Yan State military was rejected without even a chance to be demonstrated. The military's decision was like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of the heads of the third-line military factories, and they were terrified. The originally noisy scene suddenly became silent, and everyone fell into deep thought. They were concentrating on comparing the design and development plans of their own mechanical military factory with the requirements put forward by the military.
Now that the military has clearly stated its needs, if they cannot match them but still insist on introducing them, then the mechanical military factory they belong to will surely become notorious in the Yan State military, and it will probably be extremely difficult to have another opportunity for cooperation in the future. Of course, they are even more reluctant to easily give up the huge order for the second-generation main battle tanks from the Yan State military. That's why they immediately started to review the design and development plans of their own mechanical military factories for the second-generation main battle tanks. More than half of the heads of the third-tier military factories sighed secretly. Because the design and development plan of the second-generation main battle tank of their mechanical military factory did not meet the requirements of the Yan State military at all. Only a few third-tier military factories have design and development plans for second-generation main battle tanks that meet the needs of the Yan State military. …… Half an hour later, most of the heads of the third-line military factories left the meeting room one after another. The reason is simple: the second-generation main battle tank plans they designed and developed failed to pass the strict review standards of the Yan State military. The originally crowded and bustling scene in the conference room no longer exists. Now only representatives from less than six mechanical military factories remain there. All of these military factories that were left behind are the best in this fierce competition. Just the first wave of screening eliminated 95 percent of the third-tier military factories. However, what surprised Mr. Wei the most was that the 077 Mechanical Arsenal was not eliminated! This means that the design and development plan of the second-generation main battle tank of the 077 Mechanical Arsenal has successfully passed the review of the Yan State military and has been recognized. However, Mr. Wei still believes that his judgment is not wrong. Although the 077 Machinery Military Factory has certain experience in manufacturing tanks, its overall strength is still slightly insufficient compared with several other large tank factories in the country. Therefore, Mr. Wei still firmly believed that the 077 Mechanical Arsenal was just lucky this time and would not be able to make it to the end. Zhu Lao estimated that the 617 Machinery and Military Factory and the 625 Machinery and Military Factory would enter the final "finals" and become the champion and runner-up. As for the 077 Machinery and Military Factory...it would probably just be a "runner-up". However, the final result was beyond Wei's expectations. …… Old Wei watched the heads of the third-tier military factories that did not meet the design and development plans of the second-generation main battle tanks proposed by the Yan country military leave. His face did not show any change in expression, and he said calmly: "Okay, now the rest of you should have the design and development plans of the second-generation main battle tanks that meet the requirements of our military, right?" He paused, then continued, "Then please send a representative from each of you to bring your second-generation main battle tank design and development plan to the stage to introduce yourself." At this point, Elder Wei looked at everyone and continued, "Our military will select the best one from your second-generation main battle tank design and development plans as the design and development plan for Yan Country's second-generation main battle tank." After hearing what Mr. Wei said, the many heads of mechanical military factories who remained behind began to look at each other, as if no one wanted to be the first person to come on stage to introduce the design and development plan of their own second-generation main battle tank. Although being the first to go on stage may give you some advantages, there is also the risk of being eliminated right at the start. Moreover, if the first person who speaks up doesn’t do a good job, it will be even more difficult for those who come after him to surpass him. Therefore, everyone tacitly chose to stay put and wait to see how others would react. For a moment, the situation was at a stalemate. Elder Wei noticed this scene, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile: "Don't you want to come up?" Then he said in a firm tone: "Then follow our rules!!!"
Finally, he pointed in a direction and said, "Start from this side!" Since Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun are sitting in the back, they will be the last to appear to introduce the design and development plan of their own second-generation main battle tank. Seeing this, Lin Chenran smiled slightly and thought to himself: "The second-generation main battle tank of our 077 Mechanical Military Factory will be the finale to appear on the stage, blinding you."
