Chapter 9: Hello Lands
"Old Zhou, Engineer Shen, what brings you here?"
Not long after returning to his office, Guo Yi saw Zhou Mingde bring Shen Huabin, the head of the engineering department, into his office. He asked疑惑地问道, "Have a seat. Is there a problem with the Hello production line?"
"Sisi, thank you."
Shen Huabin took the teacup and nodded to Li Sisi, then said to Guo Yi with a sigh, "Chief Engineer Guo, the Hello production line and the parts production line are going smoothly so far, but the engineering department is short-staffed."
According to the plan, the engineering department will be divided into four major teams.
One team was responsible for renovating the shipyard facilities, one team was responsible for MS manufacturing, one team was responsible for space battleship manufacturing, and one team was responsible for expanding the shipyard. All four teams were working at the same time.
Our engineering department just checked, and with our current staff, we can't support three shifts..."
"stop."
Guo Yi suddenly interrupted Shen Huabin, confirming, "It's because the third shift isn't enough people, not the first shift, right?"
"Um."
"No, I didn't ask for three shifts."
"Chief Engineer Guo, how can we not have three shifts under these circumstances?"
Shen Huabin glared at him, angrily saying, "With your plan as guidance, as long as we work in three shifts, we can reduce the construction time by at least half!"
"We can't keep up with the supply, and there are some supplies that we can't produce right now."
"If we add more people once the supplies arrive, the efficiency won't be up immediately. So it's better to add people now and get them working together in advance. That way, as long as we have enough supplies, we can build at full speed without having to spend time working together."
Before Guo Yi could refute, Shen Huabin continued, "Also, Chief Engineer Guo, will we be the only ones building MS and space battleships in the future?"
If construction begins elsewhere, we may need to send some people to provide guidance.
At that time, should we send the people who joined later or the current people?
Those who join later may miss the initial work and could encounter problems.
If we send people now, our efficiency will decrease.
Chief Engineer Guo, that's why adding more people now, so that the machines don't stop even when people are on the move, is the best approach.
"..."
Guo Yi paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something: "Wait a minute, why didn't you ask Lao Yue to approve whether or not to add more people? Why did you come to me instead?"
"Old Yue is no longer at the shipyard. He went to report the latest situation to his superiors immediately after the meeting. So, you, Chief Engineer Guo, are now the highest-ranking officer here."
Zhou Mingde put down his teacup and said cheerfully, "If we need to add more people, we should notify Lao Yue before he reports to his superiors, so that he can report everything at once and the superiors can coordinate the personnel to come over as soon as possible."
If we don't add more people, we'll wait until Lao Yue comes back.
"..."
Guo Yi rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and said helplessly, "Then let's add more. You can talk to Lao Yue about how many more people we need."
"Old Zhou, please arrange your food and lodging."
"it is good."
"Chief Engineer Guo, please sign."
"..."
After Zhou Mingde and the others left, Li Sisi came up behind Guo Yi and massaged his shoulders to relax him, smiling as she said, "Boss, are you not bored now?"
"Ugh, I was so bored before, but now I'm incredibly busy. This life is just awful."
Guo Yi shook his head helplessly and gestured, "Alright, no need to press anymore. I reckon more people will be coming later, so we need to hurry up and finish writing the document."
"it is good."
"..."
As expected, yet unexpectedly, no one came looking for Guo Yi until Li Sisi informed him that Harrow could give birth.
On the third basement level of the shipyard, in a workshop in the heavy industrial zone, the shipyard's core personnel were gathered.
"Let's begin trial production."
At Guo Yi's command, the quiet workshop began to hum and start operating: "Raw material input is normal."
"Internal assembly is normal."
"The program import is normal."
"Program activation is normal."
"The outer casing is assembled normally."
"The outer casing coating is normal."
"..."
As reports came in one after another, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the finished product exit.
A short while later, a black metal sphere about forty centimeters in diameter, embedded with a red triangular lens, rolled down the track and hit the barrier.
Hello~
Before anyone could speak, the black sphere rolled smoothly to Guo Yi's feet, calling out, "Hello~ Hello~".
"Wow, it's pretty heavy."
Guo Yi picked up Hello and then commanded, "Activate authentication. My name is Guo Yi."
"Beep, Hello is initiating the owner recognition process, recording voiceprint, face, pupils..."
With each report from Haro, its two red triangular electronic eyes began to scan and input Guo Yi's information simultaneously. Finally, Haro excitedly fanned the round metal plates next to its eyes and shouted, "Haro~ Guo Yi~ Haro~"
"Hello, start the self-check."
"Hello~ Self-check begins~ Self-check begins~ Hello~"
After receiving Guo Yi's instructions, Haro first opened along the middle, revealing a small keyboard and monitor inside, and then quickly refreshed the code on the monitor.
After that, Hello closed up back into a spherical shape, then extended its nimble mechanical arms from beside its eyes and pleaded with Guo Yi, "Hello~ put it down~ Hello~".
"it is good."
After Guo Yi put Hello down, Hello extended two mechanical legs from below and stood up unsteadily.
"Hello~ The balance system needs adjustment~ Initiating balance adjustment program~ Left foot pressure adjusted to..."
As Hello continued to adjust, it gradually started walking steadily, and eventually it was even able to run on its short legs, which made everyone smile like aunties.
"Chief Engineer Guo, is it ready?"
Old Zhou rubbed his hands together, urging expectantly, "Let's get to production started soon, I can't wait!"
"Let's test the permissions."
Guo Yi comforted Old Zhou, then called out to Hello, "Hello, come back."
"Beep~ Hello~"
Upon receiving Guo Yi's command, Haro immediately retracted its limbs and quickly rolled to Guo Yi's feet: "Haro~ I'm back~ Haro~"
"Hello, turn on the built-in computer."
Hello looked at Old Zhou and refused without hesitation: "Hello~ I don't have the authority to do this~ Hello~"
After Hello refused, Guo Yi nodded slightly to Elder Zhou and the others, and at the same time ordered, "Hello, turn on the built-in computer."
"Hello~ Extend your left arm~"
"Hello~ Extend your right leg~"
"Hello~ Come here~"
"..."
Although there were multiple commands at the same time, and although Guo Yi's voice was the softest, Haro still accurately recognized and executed Guo Yi's commands, which made Guo Yi nod in satisfaction and made everyone's eyes light up.
But the next second, Guo Yi complained, "The processor is slow and bulky, the storage space is also large, there's no glasses-free 3D projection, and..."
"Alright, alright, we know your expectations are too high."
Before Guo Yi could finish his tirade, Old Zhou urged through gritted teeth, "Immediately order production! We're already impatient!"
"Alright, Hello, begin mass production."
