Chapter 41

Currently, in the tool mall, all ordinary quality processing tools can be purchased, as well as a small portion of small-sized fine-quality processing tools.

Ye Qing bought a mobile pulse plasma cutter, which is an upgraded version of the plasma cutter. It uses high-frequency pulses to make the electric arc impact the cutting parts like bullets.

Compared to ordinary plasma cutters, the technological gap is as significant as the difference between a hand drill and an impact drill.

Moreover, this pulse plasma cutter has the attribute of +15% cutting ability and +5% cutting efficiency.

This machine cost Ye Qing 80 gold coins, but he would be using it a lot in the coming days to manufacture the flagship product of the monster factory.

When Ye Qing returned to the Silver Palace Club, the corridor was already crowded, and there was even a TV station staff member with a camera and a female reporter holding a microphone.

The red vest of the cameraman had "Zhongyun City TV" printed on it. The young female reporter had a ponytail and faint freckles on her face, suggesting she had rushed over without time to put on makeup for the interview.

However, their treatment was quite awkward. Two security guards blocked them from entering the corridor for the interview.

Ye Qing walked in front, followed by four security guards pushing a device the size of a refrigerator, which looked very advanced.

The female reporter hurried over with the cameraman, holding the microphone to interview Ye Qing, asking if he was going to use this device to cut the door.

"Yes, we are from Qingyun Cutting Machinery Manufacturing Factory," Ye Qing said, giving a plug for his factory. "Our factory has multiple advanced processing devices, so cutting this door is not a problem."

"From what I know, the cutting team from Hongxing Shipbuilding Factory just failed," the female reporter said with a hint of amusement, as if mocking him. "They brought many professional devices, and you only brought one. Are you so confident?"

"This is not about the number of devices but the difference in technical level."

If the team from Hongxing Shipbuilding Factory hadn't left, they would have come to challenge Ye Qing upon hearing this.

"According to our information, that door inside is a high-tech blast-resistant door made in the USA. It's said that even explosions can't break it open."

The female reporter might have been somewhat xenophilic. Her formal smile hid a trace of mockery. "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of your factory's name. But I know Hongxing Shipbuilding Factory very well. They are very strong. Last month, they launched a 70,000-ton ship, and we even covered the launching ceremony."

"Manufacturing is something you don't understand. American technology is not as mysterious as you think." Ye Qing smiled confidently at the camera and, welcomed by two security guards, walked into the corridor with his head held high.

...

...

The next noon, after many families finished their lunch, they comfortably sat on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch the noon news on Zhongyun City TV.

Zhongyun City TV's ratings had been poor for several years, and many programs were cut.

However, a new female leader arrived last year and implemented bold reforms, promoting many distinctive new talents as hosts of various programs based on their abilities rather than seniority.

Moreover, the content of the programs was significantly reformed, incorporating many trendy elements.

This swept away the previous stale atmosphere, and in less than half a year, the ratings of Zhongyun City TV reached their peak before the widespread use of mobile internet in 2007.

The host of the noon news was a young man who spoke slowly and steadily...

This guy had a serious problem: he usually did well reporting news, but when there was a sensational story that excited him, he would stutter.

In 99% of other TV stations, this would have been enough to sentence the host to 500 years in prison.

But the bold female leader of Zhongyun City TV thought differently. She believed this was a highlight that could easily stir the emotions of the audience.

Her judgment proved correct, and the ratings of the noon news tripled. Many housewives loved this easily excited young man.

Today's noon news was also very interesting. After a few speeches by leaders urging citizens to work together to improve the city's hygiene and strive for a national civilized and hygienic city, a funny incident in Caiyi Street was reported.

The curbstones there had been replaced with stone-carved curbstones.

This was a matter closely related to daily life, and the residents were immediately interested. The exquisite carvings and artistic scenes made them imagine the enjoyment of having such stone carvings on their own streets.

Before the heat of the curbstones had dissipated, the host excitedly reported a major news story.

Last night, three suspects involved in large-scale trafficking of precursor chemicals were caught in a high-end club, and the process was very dramatic, akin to a Hollywood blockbuster.

The host didn't mention which club, but the on-site reporter, who probably didn't get to interview the real-time scene in the corridor, had a deep grudge and inadvertently showed the club's sign in the background.

The audience, with wide eyes and tense hearts, watched to see how dramatic it was.

The process did not disappoint the audience. The reporter first introduced the arrest process with text and images.

Then, it was mentioned that when the police caught the suspects, two of them, ignoring the gun threats, fled into the club's valuable storage room.

The scene then switched to a clearly cell phone-shot video of two locksmith company personnel circling a silver metal door.

Their introduction of the door's origin was also clearly recorded. It was designed for gold and jewelry vaults, made in the USA, with multiple layers of security, and even explosions couldn't break it open.

The audience found it hilarious. These two locksmiths, who had advertised widely and left flyers on many residents' doors, now stood like clowns, staring at the door without the courage to even try.

The second video, also shot on a cell phone but with clearer images, showed a team in Hongxing Shipbuilding Factory work uniforms carrying many cutting devices entering the corridor.

The name of Hongxing Shipbuilding Factory was well-known in Zhongyun City. Last month, they launched a cargo ship as large as an aircraft carrier, and even the vice mayor attended the launching ceremony.

Wouldn't cutting the door be a piece of cake for them?

Many viewers, with such thoughts, waited with amusement for the door to be cut open and the suspects to be caught.

However, the oxyacetylene cutting failed to make even a one-centimeter cut after several minutes.

To ordinary people, oxyacetylene cutting was almost omnipotent, capable of cutting cars and steel plates. But in front of this door, it seemed powerless.

This high-tech door made in the USA left a deep impression on all the viewers.

When a large device was pushed in by several workers, and the host, excited and stuttering, introduced how powerful and advanced it was, the audience's expectations were cruelly shattered again.

This device took over twenty minutes to cut a ten-centimeter deep groove, and the door was thirty centimeters thick.

The Hongxing Shipbuilding Factory, bearing the hopes of the audience, packed up their equipment and left the scene in a hurry.

The audience laughed, but a sense of anger and helplessness rose within them.

American technology was so advanced that a door could stump the police, professional locksmiths, and a large shipyard.

Was there really no solution?

A door standing there, defying all the professional cutting equipment, made the audience wonder if Zhongyun City was so backward.

When the situation seemed hopeless, a young man entered with a device that looked very attractive.

This time, it was shot with a professional camera, and there was a reporter interviewing.

The young man's behavior of advertising his factory made the audience both amused and angry.

A large team from Hongxing Shipbuilding Factory with many devices couldn't solve the problem.

How could one person with one machine from an unknown small factory break through that high-tech American door?

"This is not about the number of devices but the difference in technical level."

"You don't understand manufacturing. American technology is not as mysterious as you think."

The young man's arrogant words made the audience so angry they pounded the sofa.

Wasn't he disgracing the people of Zhongyun?

The noon news was not only popular in Zhongyun City but also in the three counties and seventy-two towns under its jurisdiction, with millions of viewers. Now, many people knew that the young people of Zhongyun City were boastful and arrogant.

Before the interview was finished, the young man walked into the corridor with a confident stride.

The young man's arrogant attitude annoyed the reporter and cameraman.

Unable to enter for the interview, they stayed in the hall, criticizing the door's technology and the young man's arrogance and self-importance.

The female reporter spoke quickly, but due to her profession, she could only express her thoughts indirectly.

Suddenly, the TV screen shook. As the reporter looked puzzled at the camera, the cameraman ran off.

The shaking image and the reporter's panicked voice soon stabilized.

A group of black-suited security guards led the way, followed by several police officers, who angrily escorted two suspects with bruised faces out of the scene.

All the viewers were stunned. What happened? How did the suspects get out?

No one answered their questions. The suspects were escorted to the hall, and a group of people who looked successful and important emerged.

In the middle of the group, the previously arrogant young man was surrounded like a star.

The female reporter's usually sharp voice sounded like a broken radio, mumbling incoherently, and no one could understand what she was saying.

The young man still looked confident and walked with a proud stride.

The host excitedly announced that the young man completed the task in thirteen minutes.

The scene then switched to a cell phone-shot video.

The young man was standing next to the door, and after a few quick adjustments, a blinding white light burst onto the silver door.

The rapid, lightning-like arc sound, even after sound reduction, was still jarring to the audience.

And the mysterious high-tech American door, which they thought was invincible, was melting like wax under the white arc.

The audience in front of the TV erupted in excitement. They were shocked and deeply ashamed of their previous hasty judgments.

But the most important thing was that the high-tech door was easily broken by someone from Zhongyun City.

Look at how confident and proud he was when he entered.

Zhongyun City still has capable people. Look, look. One person with one device did it. American technology is not that great.

The helplessness that had been weighing on the audience's hearts was swept away.

By the way, what's the name of that factory?

Quickly check online to see what products they sell. If there's something useful for the home, order it right away.

Their factory's products must be even better than those from the USA.
