Raytheon Corporation was founded in 1920 and was promoted to one of the top 500 companies in the world four years ago.
It was also one of the defense contractors of the United States, mainly engaged in defense and commercial electronics, commercial and special mission aircraft. Many of its products were at the top of the world.
This company may not be famous in the general consumer field, but it played a pivotal role in global navigation and satellite technology.
When the Apollo spacecraft landed on the Moon, it was able to transmit a broadcast signal to the Earth, allowing millions of people to witness the most spectacular scene in human history. It was all thanks to the satellite broadcasting equipment produced by Raytheon Corporation.
For such a company to be open for Ye Qing to visit, it was meaningful in itself.
Of course, all the high-tech factories in the world were the same when they were open for tours. The ones that could be shown to you were not sensitive technology. The real skills would be hidden even if God were to come.
After the small commercial plane landed, Raytheon Corporation sent five managers to welcome Ye Qing at the airport.
Well, they said they were welcome, but in fact, there was no joy on their faces at all.
They were bored and yawned. When they saw the plane land, they reluctantly came up and shook hands with Ye Qing one by one.
"This is Mr. Birdsall, Vice President of Raytheon Corporation."
"Hello." A strong man with a beard shook hands with Ye Qing.
"This is Mr. Briscoe, a mechanical engineer at Raytheon Corporation."
"This is Mr. Kayla, a business manager at Raytheon Corporation."
"And this is..."
"My name is Dabinett, one of the shareholders of Raytheon Corporation." The last person took the initiative to introduce himself, but he stood there with a smile and did not raise his right hand.
After the round of introductions, Ye Qing was a little unhappy.
Ye Qing could read a kind of indistinct aura from these Raytheon executives. That was a disregard for Ye Qing and his party. They were completely out of perfunctory, out of the government's request, with some impatience and arrogance as if they were nothing but air to greet them.
Ye Qing was not a thick-skinned person who came to talk to salespeople and ask for cooperation.
Even if they were, who were they showing off their arrogant faces to?
Ye Qing was unhappy, but out of courtesy, he still squeezed out a smile.
"Mr. Ye, I know a little about Monster Heavy Industries. I heard that your company is particularly powerful in the field of mechanical manufacturing. " Vice President Birdsall, who was walking in front, yawned and said, "Mr. Ye, please take a look around the mechanical manufacturing department of our Raytheon Corporation."
"It just so happens that factory number three is manufacturing mechanical gyroscopes. Mr. Ye, please evaluate our Raytheon Corporation's technical capabilities in mechanical manufacturing. "
When Vice President Birdsall said the last sentence, he finally showed a trace of a smile.
But this was a proud smile!
This smile is meant to broaden your horizons and let you see the strength of the world's most cutting-edge technology companies.
Ever since the new president came to power, things were getting more and more out of hand.
Vice President Birdsall couldn't help but complain in his heart. They were the dignified Raytheon Corporation, but they actually had to open their doors to a young entrepreneur from Hua Xia to see?
Well, so what if it was Monster Heavy Industries? Raytheon Corporation and Monster Heavy Industries were two completely different companies, okay?
Raytheon Corporation's main business was in the field of national defense technology. The US military operated around the world and won one war after another in a crushing manner. Which one of them did not have the shadow of Raytheon Corporation's shadow?
Monster Heavy Industries was just a civilian company. The difference between the two was like one made swords and the other made pots and pans. Of course, those who made swords and knives were a cut above others.
The world was big, but the president was the most important. After the order was given, no matter how unwilling Raytheon Corporation was, they could only pinch their noses and endure. However, they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts. It was like a blonde Germanic beauty being molested by a crude and barbaric yellow-skinned man.
What else could they do? Let them deeply realize that they were just a group of country bumpkins who had just come out of the mountains.
"Mechanical gyroscope?" Ye Qing looked at Vice President Birdsall with some surprise.
How could it be …
Let him visit this kind of precision mechanical equipment that Ye Qing was not even interested in?
Of course, Ye Qing's very boring eyes, in the eyes of Vice President Birdsall, became Ye Qing's deliberately indifferent eyes to cover up his inner tension.
Yun Shi, who was really nervous, had been paid a lot of attention by this group of foreigners. After all, beautiful women were beautiful scenery wherever they were.
Vice President Birdsall directly called a sightseeing electric car and took Ye Qing and his party to the third factory.
When they arrived at the third factory, Ye Qing thought that it was really a casual visit. In the huge factory, the automatic robots on the assembly line moved clanging and clanging. Dozens of workers stood casually at their posts and monitored the production status of the assembly line.
It was said to be a casual visit because the moment they stepped into the third warehouse, Hannah, the receptionist from the commercial department, stepped on some black oil stains. She was wearing high heels, so she almost slipped.
Ye Qing dragged her from behind. The latter was a little flustered to tidy up her hair and said three grams of oil.
"Cough ~ I'm sorry, I didn't have time to let the workers clean the factory." Vice President Birdsall reluctantly squinted his eyes. It seemed that if Yun Shi, who acted as a translator, slipped, he would not even say a word of apology.
Mechanical processing, no matter how high the technological content is, is always inseparable from the magic weapon of oil.
This little waste oil on the ground is not a problem at all. When the workers see it, they just rub it with their feet. Which factory does not have this situation? It's just that most factories, when someone visits, will deliberately clean the factory and make the ground clean, and Raytheon Corporation doesn't take this visit seriously at all.
"That's right, Mr. Ye. You're also in the mechanical processing business, so it's normal for the factory to have oil stains right?" The vice president Birdsall used his leather shoes to rub away the oil stains, and very casually asked Ye Qing.
"Our factory will not have such a situation." Ye Qing told the truth.
"Oriental people who care about face." Vice President Birdsall sighed in his heart, and then motioned them to follow him and climb the inspection platform of the third factory.
Mechanical gyroscopes are about precision. Even if you look at it for 10,000 years, you can't make it. Raytheon Corporation can show it at will.
Every time Vice President Birdsall stepped on a metal step, his heart was looking forward to it.
Looking forward to Ye Qing's party, they were shocked by their high-tech automation.
After climbing the steps, the entire interior of the third factory was reflected in everyone's eyes. At a glance, steel and pipelines were everywhere, just like a scene from a science fiction movie.
Pieces of alloy metal the size of a fist were neatly lined up on the assembly line. Various orange-red industrial robots were precisely processing the metal balls as if they were performing surgery.
Through the monitoring equipment on the inspection platform, people could clearly see that the metal balls were processed by industrial robots, cut by lasers, and turned into complex hollow shells of precision instruments. Then the shells were sent to the assembly line for the next step of component assembly.
A robot held a thin drill and drilled a hole in a vertical axis as thick as a pen lead. A robot held a sharp knife that could cut hair. After a few back and forth, like a piece of metal the size of a bottle cap, it was cut into complex geometric shapes.
And all this without the participation of any workers.
Mechanical gyroscopes are important instruments that can be used on various types of missiles and aircraft to determine the attitude of the aircraft.
Which factory in the world can use fully automated means to produce such precision instruments?
They are all manually assembled and polished, and the production of military-grade mechanical gyroscopes is very impressive.
Even if he has seen it many times, Vice President Birdsall's heart is still full of indescribable pride, because everything in front of him represents the most advanced in the world.
"Ha ~" Ye Qing, who had been on the plane for more than ten hours, felt very bored. He raised his hands and couldn't help but yawn. It was the same as when Vice President Birdsall was waiting for Ye Qing's arrival in front of the runway.
"Mr. Birdsall, can you change to the next tour?"
Vice President Birdsall's excited expression was stiff on the spot.
