Chapter 100: The Master Craftsman Emerges

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the three-month deadline was nearly up.

During this time, Du Qiu hadn’t been able to connect to the dream once.

At first, he thought there was something wrong with the crystal pillow he had made and was relieved that he hadn’t destroyed the original one with the white point pattern.

However, even when using the original crystal pillow, he was still unable to connect.

Clearly, there must have been a major issue at the alien civilization’s resource star; otherwise, even if the production base was moved to another resource planet, it should have been a quick matter.

Could it be that the alien civilization’s adversaries had taken further action after that day’s sneak attack?

Or was the resource planet completely destroyed, along with the super machine?

Du Qiu couldn’t help but let his thoughts run wild, but thinking like this didn’t help him connect to the dream.

Having no choice, Du Qiu consoled himself by thinking that if the connection was lost, the various technological knowledge he had recorded would be enough for him to digest and research for a long time.

Soon after, Du Qiu completed the handover of the crystal cube with Imanka, and ten million US dollars were transferred into the account Du Qiu had opened in a Swiss bank.

Only, Du Qiu was somewhat relieved that he hadn’t used a replica to complete the transaction, because the man who accompanied Imanka was carrying a strange crystal box to verify the authenticity.

When the crystal cube was put into it, one side of the crystal box changed color, turning from completely transparent to a faint green.

At that moment, Du Qiu wished he could snatch that crystal box away to study it for himself.

It seemed that Walkerson, with Natural Might, had some items similar to the crystal pillow, perhaps all inherited from the Mayan civilization.

Du Qiu kept this matter in mind, thinking that perhaps one day when he had the strength, he could also approach Walkerson for a mutually beneficial deal.

After all, the original crystal pillow with the white point pattern he had handed over had been altered by him; they definitely wouldn’t be able to connect to the alien civilization’s super machine.

After completing the transaction, Imanka didn’t leave the Magic City; he even helped Du Qiu sell garbage disposal equipment to the United States.

Speaking of garbage disposal equipment, its sales in the domestic market had finally taken off, and it had even won an environmental protection award.

Kim Zhenan had returned from Korea and placed a huge order directly: 5,000 garbage disposal units.

At the time, Du Qiu was shocked; was Korea taking their environmental efforts to treat waste so seriously?

Having suffered from Huading Group’s large order in the past, Du Qiu trusted his friend Kim Zhenan, but he still made thorough inquiries.

He even sought help from Ning Shuangshuang, who used security department channels to understand the situation with Korea’s purchase of garbage disposal equipment.

Finally, the feedback he received was that Korea did indeed plan to replace garbage equipment in multiple cities, including the capital, with an initial plan for a total of 5,000 units.

Only after getting this news did Du Qiu confidently sign the contract, and Dream Technology went into full production capacity.

With the production capability of the fully automated production line designed by Du Qiu, all units were delivered in just one month.

With the business progressing smoothly, Du Qiu decided to increase his investment in scientific research.

He knew his weaknesses; he didn’t understand many cutting-edge scientific theories, especially new computer systems such as quantum computers and photon computers.

However, many scientists have made progress in these areas.

Before, Du Qiu had set up a research and development center in Germany, which he has now renamed the Dream Technology R&D Center.

It seemed unrelated to Dream Technology, and of course, the person in charge was Rein Leinar, who had already returned to the country.

At present, this research center has recruited a batch of researchers who can carry out some research as per Du Qiu’s requirements.

Due to Rein Leinar’s sales push in Europe, Heavenly System software has already shaken up the Germanyan CNC machine tool industry, with even Siemens organizing personnel to study the threat of Heavenly System software.

Of course, this also means that Dream Technology has earned considerable sales from Europe.

On the flip side, in Tang Country, Du Qiu’s fame had also grown.

That’s the nature of Tang Country; once the foreign media gives high praise, it will be elevated to a great height domestically.

It’s simply because after the country went through a dark period of a century, the entire nation lacked confidence and needed validation from the Western world.

In the Magic City, Du Qiu also gathered a group of talented people in an R&D center; he believed in the excellence of Tang Country’s scientific and technological talents.

This center focused on several areas of research: new materials, special sensors, and research on ultra-precision machining centers, to name a few.

The research project on the ultra-precision machining center matched perfectly with Du Qiu’s needs, given that he had signed a counter-guarantee agreement.

According to the agreement, the time would start to be calculated from the date the registered capital was credited.

Today, inside the transformed dust-free workshop of Dream Technology, Du Qiu was observing a robot he designed, assembling a colossal machining center.

This machining center, integrating turning, milling, and grinding, aimed to achieve Japan’s top-notch precision level.

Japan’s ironworks released their latest grinding machine last year with a grinding precision of 0.1 nanometers, a borderline insane level; though it was a grinding machine, it was still astonishing.

The precision of the grinding operation in Du Qiu’s designed machining center was targeted specifically at this standard.

The research and development of the ultra-precision machining center project was not only about studying the machining center itself; Du Qiu also took this opportunity to develop the independent assembly robots he had long wanted to complete.

In the industrial field of Tang Country, assembly fitters were among the most skilled workforce, becoming increasingly scarce and valuable over time.

Many of Tang Country’s major national projects were crafted by these fitters with their hands, while other countries not only had such talents but had also begun using automated equipment to replace human labor.

However, for assembly similar to that of industrial mother machines, even the yellow robots of FANUC Corporation in Japan couldn’t achieve it.

Nevertheless, in this project, Du Qiu planned to realize the true construction of robots by robots for the first time.

With robots capable of assembling high-precision equipment, industrial robots could completely replace manual labor.

Du Qiu’s goal was to emulate the production bases of the alien civilization— there wasn’t a single alien present, yet all the production was seamless and without error.

When Du Qiu proposed that the assembly of the entire machining center be completed by newly designed and manufactured robots, he shocked all members of the project.

Their biggest concern had always been the final assembly; more often than not, the designed precision was lost during this stage.

Members of the project initially believed that Du Qiu would invite the skilled fitters from Feiyu Technology to do the job, as they had assembled those few robots with fully qualified operational precision.

To their surprise, Du Qiu decided to use these robots for all the assembly work.

At this moment, everything became a reality before everyone’s eyes.

Liu Yaofeng stood next to Du Qiu, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

“Boss, the robot actually achieved that fine positioning just now, it’s really thrilling!”

“If you’re excited, just be excited; stop shaking your leg!” Du Qiu didn’t look back as he moved a little away from Liu Yaofeng.

The guy was right next to him, shaking his leg all the time, making it hard to keep his gaze steady.

The entire assembly process had been completely designed, and now everyone was watching the robot complete each step.

There was no denying the nervousness in their hearts; whether the assembly could be successful and whether the precision could achieve the design target after completion was another matter.

Everyone knew the design targets; they had all uniformly said it was impossible at the beginning.

Even the new engineers directly said that Dream Technology was crazy—such precision in a machining center wouldn’t be possible in Tang Country within thirty years.

At this moment, they all watched with bated breath, fearing their hearts would jump out of their mouths.

As seconds ticked by and the end of all procedures approached, the assembly robot completed the last action and came to a stop, emitting a sound.

“The Heavenly Master CNC Machining Center assembly is complete!”
