In the afternoon, the sun shines through the windows into the spacious and bright conference room, illuminating people's faces with warmth, but at this time, everyone present has no time to feel this warmth and leisure.
The important meeting in the afternoon will continue.
As time passed, representatives from major domestic shipyards entered the conference room one after another. After they found their seats and sat down, the scene gradually became quiet.
At this time, Elder Zhang, who was sitting in the chair, said calmly, "Dear colleagues, after in-depth discussions and evaluations within our navy, the design plan for the frigate has been finalized."
After hearing this, the senior executives of domestic shipyards showed expectant and nervous expressions on their faces.
Expectation outweighs nervousness!
But the next words Elder Zhang made the expectations on their faces disappear without a trace.
Elder Zhang then continued, "As we still need to wait for the final approval and consent of superior leaders, the specific results cannot be announced to everyone yet."
As soon as these words came out, many domestic shipyard executives present could not help but frown, and their expressions looked a little solemn.
The disappointment is palpable!
Obviously, no one expected that the Navy would choose to temporarily conceal which shipyard's frigate design plan successfully won the bid.
A Flame Nation shipyard:
"Bah! How stubborn!"
"You have whetted our appetites, and finally we are waiting for this result?"
"Is it to avoid affecting the selection of subsequent cruiser design plans?"
Facing the powerful navy, these shipyard executives know that "little hands can't twist the thighs", and no amount of complaints will help.
Therefore, they had no choice but to suppress their unhappiness and try to calm down their emotions. After all, there was still a more difficult task waiting for them - introducing their own cruiser design plan.
You know, the frigate design competition just now was just an appetizer. The real highlight is the subsequent cruiser design display.
These two warships are not at the same level at all. In terms of technical difficulty, performance requirements, and strategic significance, cruisers are much higher than frigates.
Therefore, for each shipyard, whether it can stand out in this cruiser design competition will be directly related to its future status and development prospects in the field of naval equipment.
Thinking of this, everyone's fighting spirit was rekindled and they were ready to go all out to meet the next challenge.
At this time, Lin Chenran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes calmly scanned the different expressions of the senior executives of domestic shipyards present.
His eyes seemed to carry a different kind of profound meaning, as if he was saying silently, "Please start your performance."
He knew very well that Flame Nation Navy senior officials would never directly announce which shipyard had successfully won the Flame Nation Navy's frigate order during this meeting.
If the answer is revealed so early, it will definitely have a great impact on the subsequent bidding for cruiser design plans.
Elder Zhang, who was sitting at the front, observed the expression changes of everyone present with a serious face.
Sure enough, the scene before him was exactly what he had expected!
Elder Zhang said straight to the point without hesitation, "Now, please continue to draw your own sequence numbers, and then go on stage to explain the cruiser design plan of your own shipyard."
Due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks, there was no room for the slightest complaint or hesitation among the many domestic shipyards present.
Elder Zhang issued this unquestionable order immediately and decisively.
At the same time, Lin Chenran quickly turned to look at Pan Xueming beside him, and nodded slightly to him.
After receiving the instructions from Lin Chenran, Pan Xueming had a firm look in his eyes without any hesitation. He took a deep breath, then took steady and powerful steps, and rushed towards the lottery place as quickly as a meteor streaking across the sky.
Every step is filled with determination and confidence.
At the same time, senior executives of other shipyards also sent their trusted personnel to the lottery.
In order to draw an ideal order to display your own cruiser design.
For a time, the entire conference room was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation.
Pan Xueming came to the lottery box. His face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a concentration and calmness.
I saw him slowly stretching out his right hand, gently reaching into the lottery box and groping for a moment, and then pulled out a piece of paper without hesitation.
When he unfolded the note and saw the number on it, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked - it turned out to be No. 1!
This result was a bit of a surprise.
704 Shipyard will be the first team to present its cruiser design plan to Flame Nation Navy senior officials.
This news spread throughout the entire conference room in an instant. After the senior executives of other shipyards heard it, their faces suddenly became solemn, and their brows furrowed tightly, forming deep grooves.
They had received some gossip before this.
It is said that the Flame Nation Navy specially requested that 704 Shipyard, the factory director of Pan Xueming, personally design and develop an outstanding cruiser for them.
Now 704 Shipyard has drawn the first pick again.
Does this mean that 704 Shipyard has an absolute advantage in this competition.
Flame Nation Navy wants to end it quickly?
As time went by, everyone completed the drawing of lots one after another.
At this time, except for the people at 704 Shipyard who remained relatively calm, the faces of the other shipyard personnel were full of worry and uneasiness.
They left the meeting room with heavy steps and heavy steps.
I secretly prayed that the cruiser design of 704 Shipyard would not meet the needs of the Flame Nation navy.
When the heavy conference room door slowly closed, Elder Zhang's weather-beaten face instantly revealed a smile as bright as the warm spring sun.
His deep and bright eyes shone with surprise and admiration.
"Mr. Pan, I really didn't expect that you 704 Shipyard would actually get the first pick to explain your factory's cruiser design plan."
"I can't wait to see your awesome cruiser design."
Elder Zhang said with excitement.
After hearing this praise, Pan Xueming on the side just smiled humbly in response.
He leaned forward slightly and said softly, "Elder Zhang You've won the prize, it's just a coincidence!"
Then he said very confidently, "In that order, the design plan of our 704 Shipyard cruiser will be the same."
"Because our 704 Shipyard cruiser design is excellent and advanced enough, it will definitely not disappoint the navy."
When Flame Nation senior naval leaders saw this, they all smiled. This is the top ship design and engineering master they want.
Very confident!
