Chapter 549 Plague in Western Europe


"Take these drawings back immediately and ask Mr. Hu to carry out subsequent designs according to the above requirements. I will try to go back in the first half of next year to see their progress. Do you understand?"

"I understand, boss. "Assistant Chen took the drawings and put them away carefully. These were the overall design drawings of various electrical appliances designed by Zhu Xuefeng. They only proposed the design requirements for each unit, and Hu Yuhang had to implement the specifics.

“Boss, Mr. Hu asked me to ask for your opinion. Now that mini cassette players have achieved great success in North America and Europe, is it necessary to launch a home version of dual-card cassette players this year?”

“ Let him make decisions based on market research reports in the future, without asking for my opinion.”

This Mr. Hu was simply astonished by Zhu Xuefeng’s market judgment ability, and all his ideas were extremely successful. , now he has relied on letting his boss make the decision when something happens, and Zhu Xuefeng will not let him become a habit.

"Also, my wife has gone to North America and is unable to come over. Let me consult you. Now our container shipping has made many shipping companies jealous, and they have placed huge container orders. My wife is not sure. Should we accept these orders or not?”

“She is afraid that others will use them and our own freighters will lose their maximum competitiveness. There is nothing to worry about. Just accept it. If you can’t finish it, you can still entrust it to us. For domestic production, the validity period of this utility model patent is very short, and it is estimated that it is unlikely that we can continue it. Sooner or later, everyone will use it together, and we cannot monopolize it.”

“But that is our biggest advantage in shipping costs. It’s gone, which is a pity.”

Assistant Chen also felt a little regretful. Because of this, the cost of the company’s ocean shipping has become about one-seventh of that of the same industry. It’s really not that satisfying. If this is shared...

“It can’t be stopped. There will be more and more shipping business in the future. It’s impossible for our family to finish all the food. It would be great to be able to sell some containers. Now we have the advantage of cargo ships that have been modified to adapt to containers. There are also the supporting unloading and transportation advantages of terminal containers, which is enough.”

Zhu Xuefeng has already asked the company to start drafting the container standard. The patent for the container will be made public soon. Zhu Xuefeng decided to obtain the international standard for the container first. With this, haha, the good days will last long.

“Although these advantages cannot last for long, it is no problem to put us in a favorable position. Tell my wife, don’t be afraid of competition. Even forklifts, don’t hide them. Someone will order them. Sell ​​them too.”

In Zhu Xuefeng’s eyes, these are only good ideas, with low technical content and easy to copy. Although they have applied for utility model patents, there are more countries that have not accepted the applications. Some people imitate it, such as the third brother, so it is better to make a quick profit first, and then use the standards as the basis.

“I understand, then other companies that come to our shipyard to refit freighters can also take over the task.”

“Is someone here?”

“Well, the lady said , it was introduced by the Huo family. I can’t push it away, but I don’t want to let everyone get involved in this exclusive business.”

Zhu Xuefeng smiled and understood, who doesn’t want to do an exclusive business that makes money. , now many of the company's transactions are one-of-a-kind.

The current large-scale shipyard in Xiangjiang belongs to Dongsheng Company. If you want to refit nearby, of course Dongsheng Company is the most suitable company. The first one has experience, and the second one, the container has to be purchased from Dongsheng Company.

"Take it, we can also undertake custom-made container ships. By the way, who is coming?"

"The Bao family, they also travel far and wide, and they are very concerned about this. Our freighter After just one trip, they realized something was different. Before Madam left the house, someone came to her door. ”

"Their family? They are really thoughtful. They need to do a lot of modifications, haha. After that, they probably have to buy a lot of containers. It seems that they mainly travel through the Suez Canal and have little competition with us."

Package It is inevitable that you will come to your home. Anyone who is interested can find that the round trip time of Dongsheng Company's container ships in North America is more than twice as fast as that of other ocean-going companies. This is because container loading and unloading are convenient.

On Friday, November 22, 1963, a major event occurred in North America that affected the whole world. President Bald Eagle was assassinated while driving in a convertible. The entire North America and Europe are in chaos.

"Senior brother, you have been in there for so long and you just came out with this little thing." In Russell Square on Oxford Street, the swallow hiding in the corner popped up. She was responsible for monitoring the patrol outside. If there was a real situation, she would have to lure the patrol away.

But seeing my senior brother disappearing for several hours before reappearing, only carrying a large handbag and a large backpack, I couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Xuefeng patted the big backpack and said, "It's quite a lot. I've brought out a few of the most famous items. I can't take away any more. I'll come back with the others when I have a chance. Hurry up and put your things away first. , we have to go to the next place quickly.”

There are countless national treasures that have been plundered here, and in terms of grade, they are more than one level higher than those in Fuso.

This is indeed the oldest and most magnificent comprehensive museum in the world. It is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. No one has ever occupied their homeland, and all kinds of treasures are preserved. intact.

There are more than 20,000 pieces of our own cultural relics in the storage room alone, including ancient stone tools, Shang and Zhou bronzes, Buddhist statues from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song calligraphy and paintings, Ming and Qing porcelain, and 45 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" and other rare treasures .

According to Zhu Xuefeng's estimation, there should be millions of pieces in the collection here. Only a few pieces are on display, less than 10%, and the rest are stored in the storage room. It was more convenient for Zhu Xuefeng to clean.

As long as they take away all their own belongings, they will also take away everything belonging to Babylon. From Europe, I only picked some that I was familiar with. I wasn’t interested in those from other countries and nationalities, but in order to confuse the public, I took some of them, and the rest was for future generations to continue to experience the criminal behavior of this bandit.

The museum occupies a large area. Unlike Fuso, it is not impossible to escape after closing. Under his upgraded perception, all security and patrol personnel are useless, with the help of space treasure hunting ability. , no matter how well-hidden the treasure is, it cannot escape his pursuit, and even a large fixed safe cannot stop him at all.

After looking at the countless cultural relics and treasures from other civilizations left, Zhu Xuefeng stopped. It wasn’t that he couldn’t fit them in, but he really didn’t like them, especially those from the Asan family. The reason why he picked some cultural relics that he had heard about in Europe was, There is a chance to exchange for travel expenses or something. If you take all these treasures away, even if you use cargo ships, it will take several ships. It can be seen that Britain has really plundered a lot in the past few hundred years since the Age of Navigation.

“You still want to go to the Royal Ordnance Museum?”

“Well, the ancestor’s sword must be taken back. It is a shame for our old Zhu family to keep it here.”

The treasure of the Royal Ordnance Museum is the "Yongle Sword", which represents the imperial power. This is the sword of Emperor Yongle. Later, in order to maintain the stability of the country, it was given to the Living Buddha Xizang. It was later taken back to the treasury by the Qing court, and then was used by these bandits. After grabbing this, later generations asked for it many times and refused to return it. They boasted that it was their treasure. Some people offered a sky-high price of 1.2 billion pounds, but they were still unmoved. In their hearts, this was already theirs. Part of the culture is their cultural treasure. What a joke. This trip was easy. It didn't take long. Zhu Xuefeng and Liang Yan were watching the "Yongle Sword" after returning successfully.



The sword is nearly one meter long and weighs about four kilograms. The sword's hilt and scabbard are made of gold and inlaid with precious gems. The hilt is also engraved with a lifelike beast, symbolizing imperial power. The majesty of the sword. Every detail of this sword demonstrates the strength of the Ming Empire and the outstanding skills of the craftsmen.

This sword is not only a weapon, but also a symbol of imperial power at that time. Emperor Yongle summoned the best craftsmen in the country and spent several months carefully crafting this sword

"Senior brother, this sword is very important to your old Zhu family, right?" Yanzi's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Moreover, this doesn't belong to anyone, it belongs to our nation. This cultural relic is very important to our nation and is an important forensic cultural relic of the development history of our nation." Zhu Xuefeng reprimanded seriously.

“I know, I know, don’t give me lessons, I mean, with this, you have established the orthodox identity of the Lao Zhu family in the autonomous region. Even if you don’t want to establish a country, you can still be a king. It's justifiable."

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up, you fly directly to Xiangjiang, I have to transfer."

"Then how are these treasures transported back?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Someone will naturally take over. Even if they cannot be transported, they will not be found." Zhu Xuefeng is now He only wanted to coax away the swallows.

Yanzi glanced at her senior brother strangely, "Aren't you going to go to other places?" She had traveled to all the places that her senior brother told her about, and now her senior brother only took action once and coaxed her to go back.

“With such a big thing happening here, other places will definitely be tightly guarded. Let’s find another opportunity in the future. Leave quickly. You have been there several times in a short period of time, so you may be the subject of major suspicion.”< br>
Yanzi reluctantly agreed to return to Xiangjiang as soon as possible. The inspection at the airport was indeed a lot stricter, but the two of them still got on their respective flights smoothly.

The Great Eagle Museum failed to open on time. According to official news from London, the museum needs internal renovations and will not be open to the public in the short term. The specific opening time will be determined according to the internal renovation work.

After intensive verification, the museum found that more than 30,000 pieces of various treasures were missing. For them, this was a huge disaster. Although the number accounted for only about 2%, they could not afford to lose this person, so they could only While remaining silent, he searched around.

Naturally, the major events that happened in North America yesterday were naturally connected. This possibility is very high. Such a major thing cannot be accomplished by individuals and small forces. You know, including the packaging of the lost treasure, even if you use a truck, it will take more than ten trucks to take it away.

Zhu Xuefeng has returned to school on time and continues his homework and various researches. The incident of Ludun has not fermented and has only been circulated among some high-level officials. This situation lasted until after Christmas Eve.

The museums in Bari, the Louvre and the Invalides Museum were also closed after Christmas without any announcement. Soon after, the West Berlin Museum was also closed after New Year's Day. Museum closures throughout Western Europe were like a plague. The commotion lasted until early February before it subsided.

People are wondering that inspections at all airports and ports across Europe have become much more frequent and strict. According to gossip, the reason for this is because many museums in Europe have been looted, and a large number of precious cultural relics have been stolen. Steal.

The people did not believe that a large number of cultural relics had been looted, how could they be taken away? There must be something else going on. Something must be brewing in Western Europe. Combined with the major events at the end of November last year, various rumors are flying.

Several troubled countries in Western Europe seem to have pointed their fingers at the big goose. It is the only one with this ability, and only its organization like the KGB can complete these unforeseen events without anyone noticing. Possible things.

But Zhu Xuefeng studied hard in school honestly. Except for occasionally going out on weekends, he studied hard in school every day.

"Dear classmate Zhu, have you heard? The plague in Western Europe has spread to Eastern Europe, and the museum in Denoslovakia next door has also been closed, as well as Hungary...".

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head and said he knew nothing about his roommate's problem.

"Dear classmate Menggen, this is not something we should be concerned about. The homework is very tight now. I don't want an accident to happen in the first exam, and neither do you.

"Of course not, I don't I hope this will be the case. Damn it, I will be ordered to return to China. Then I can only communicate with horses in the vast prairie. This is definitely not what I want. "

"Then what are you waiting for? Go study on your own. If you're too late, there won't be room in the library. "

The roommate shrugged and picked up his schoolbag boredly, "Okay, maybe you are right, it's time for me to go to the library. "

He is obviously a man from the grasslands. He has not learned much else after coming here for a few months, but he has picked up a lot of European habits. This Meng Gen is very interesting. Zhu Xuefeng gets along well with his roommates. After more than four months, I have become more or less familiar with him. Meng Gen, who comes from the grassland, often talks to him and is considered the closest person.

Seeing Meng Gen leave, Zhu Xuefeng came to him again. Reviewing the drawings, confirming various parameters time and time again

On the table is a small shield machine design sketch, which is the result of a small team of three people working day and night for several months. , this technology started very early in Europe. More than a hundred years ago, the Londoners dug the first shield machine tunnel under the Thames River.

After more than a hundred years of development, this technology This technology should be considered mature, but of course it cannot be compared with that of later generations. According to Sister Jiang's information, there is indeed an early machine in Denoslovakia not far from the school, but it has been abandoned due to World War II.

The three of them went to observe in detail many times, and Zhu Xuefeng thoroughly examined every part. The three of them were inspired a lot. At the same time, thanks to the vast information in the library, the working principle of this equipment and the sketch library are indeed complete. .

Based on the scrapped machines that the three of them saw, the small team has completed its preliminary design, but there is still a long way to go to form formal drawings. The principle of the shield machine is actually very simple, but it needs It is indeed difficult to achieve.

Although the current shield machine samples do not seem to be very advanced, there are a large number of various machines and parts. The three of them have drawn thousands of various drawings, and there is also a large amount of data that needs to be calculated accurately. This is a very Zhu Xuefeng took the initiative to take on most of the calculation tasks, which was a laborious and time-consuming task. He had unique conditions in this regard, so he naturally did his part. (End of chapter)
