"State-owned Factory 738" is a military-industrial enterprise with a history of nearly 130 years. It was founded during the Westernization Movement and was originally named "Anzhou Ordnance Bureau".

The Westernization Movement, also known as the "Self-Strength Movement", was a social change movement that introduced Western military equipment, machine production and science and technology to maintain the feudal rule of the dynasty by the "Westernization Movement" at the end of the feudal dynasty.

At that time, a large number of young officials were sent abroad to study abroad. After learning some advanced Western scientific civilizations, they put forward the slogans of "self-improvement" and "seeking wealth".

Although the final evolution of the Westernization Movement directly carried out political reforms to a further "modernization innovation movement", which was actually a failure. However, the advanced Western science and technology introduced by the Westernization Movement did indeed make the first batch of modern enterprises appear in Donghua, objectively promoting the country's development towards modern civilization.

In the process of the Westernization Party introducing advanced Western science and technology, the first thing that focused on developing was the military industry. The Anzhou Ordnance Bureau was established since then. Although the political system has changed, its "official-run state-owned" nature has not changed.

The state has always implemented a coordinated planning and management system for "officially run state-owned enterprises".

Production tasks are unified, funds are loaned and repayed, materials are uniformly allocated, products are collected and sold, employment is carried out in a unified manner, profits and losses are all under the responsibility of the state, enterprises have no business autonomy, and bureaucratic management of enterprise leaders and management have caused many official state-owned enterprises to fall into business difficulties...

Although after several reforms, some companies began to transform and upgrade and gradually got rid of difficulties and revitalized, while some companies have been unable to move forward.

So the state-owned enterprise management department began a large-scale merger and restructuring of state-owned enterprises. After the merger of Huayuan Group, the 738 Factory was once recovered. With its deep technical accumulation and talent advantages, it played a huge role in the upgrading and transformation of heavy weapons and equipment such as artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, etc.

However, with the transformation of military technology, the previous equipment has gradually been replaced by newer technology, and the orders from the army have become fewer and fewer, and the export of products has been reduced to zero.

"Factory 738, I have been following it for several years. Do you still remember it? Did the workers in their factory stole aluminum ingots and sold them the year before yesterday?"

Yue Hanfeng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked to the west. Although he looked a long way from here to the Lushan County where Factory 738 was located, the large factory that occupied half of the Lushan County seemed to be right in front of him...at within his sight!

Han Zhuo looked at the material in his hand and responded with a smile: "There are as many as thousands of people involved in the case, and a complete underground chain of theft, transportation and sales of stolen goods has been formed, with tens of millions of losses... That case was a sensation!"

"It was indeed a sensation, but in the end... no one of the workers who steal things could do anything about them. They owed more than ten months of wages, and the family had no place to live. They couldn't lock them up! That involved the livelihood of tens of thousands of people!" Yue Hanfeng said with emotion.

Han Zhuo nodded and sighed: "The most regrettable thing is Fang Ziqiang! The good leader of Huayuan Group was withdrawn..."

Gao Shang nodded and smiled, "Then... Team Leader Yin, let's go!"

Yin Ruolan smiled and made a gesture to Gao Shang. The two got in the car together and drove directly to Donggu Mountain.

In terms of administrative divisions, Gushan County is affiliated to Hanjiang City, and Hanjiang City is a secondary city under Anzhou City. The Gushan Mountains between the main city of Anzhou and Hanjiang City just separate Hanjiang and Anzhou. Gushan County is therefore divided into two parts: Donggushan and Xigushan.

Historically, the Gangshan County District was located in Xikou Mountain. There were only a few scattered small villages scattered among the hills crisscrossing gullies.

During the Westernization Movement, Xiang Weifu, the commander of Anzhou who was in charge of Anzhou at that time, took a sparsely populated area in the eastern foot of the Gushan Mountains, and built a large military factory here - Anzhou Ordnance Bureau.

Although this land is under the jurisdiction of Gushan County, since the beginning of the establishment of the Anzhou Ordnance Bureau, the actual jurisdiction of this area has been directly under the Anzhou Governance Office. Although the times have changed, this large factory in Dongkoushan has always been a heavily guarded military control area.

"Military forbidden zones are not allowed to enter without arbitrary entry"

When Gao Shang saw the outer wall of a slightly dilapidated post with eight big words painted on the outer wall, Yin Ruolan smiled and said, "Twenty years ago, after Factory 738 was merged by Huayuan Group, this military restricted area was revoked. However, at that time, it was still a key military production base, so these posts were transferred to the factory security department. Now... no one is on duty."

This road is winding and leads directly from Anzhou City to Factory 738, but this road is only built to the foot of Gushan Mountain and does not connect to the direction of Xikou Mountain. It can be said that this road is simply the only way for Factory 738 to enter and exit.

The five major factory areas of Factory 738 are scattered in a hill on the eastern foot of the Gushan Mountains. There is even a mountain that needs to be crossed between the branch factory and the branch factory area. The entire Factory 738 is hidden in the valley between these mountains and mountains. Although it is relatively closed in geographical location, it is very suitable for security work.

According to the agreement reached by Gao Shang and Huayuan Research Institute, the A-A project will relocate the development of the heavy mecha to Anzhou as a whole. The joint venture formed by the two parties will be rebuilt based on the area of ​​Factory 738. Looking at the veteran arsenal between the mountains, Gao Shang nodded with satisfaction.

"This place is good... but it is best to build another highway in that place to connect Xikou Mountain and directly connect Hanjiang!" Gao Shang stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at the entire factory, and he had a bit of a sense of giving advice.

But seeing the direction Gao Shang pointed, Yin Ruolan shook her head and said, "It is better to have only this entry and exit road in the entire factory, so that confidentiality will be relatively easier."

"Confidential? Why keep it confidential?"

Gao Shang smiled playfully and said, "The most difficult thing in the world is secrets. Anything that is deliberately trying to keep secrets will definitely attract a lot of attention."

"The real secret... is not there!" He pointed to the factory area below the mountain, then turned to his head and smiled, "The secret is here! No one can take it..."

His real plan is to use this large factory area to build a production and R&D base for him by cooperating with Huayuan's mecha project.

In the future, in addition to mechas, there are more, better and more powerful things here, and each one will be something that shocks the world.
