Chapter 203

Next, we'll go find domestic motor manufacturers to produce the matching 600‑kilowatt generators; that's not difficult—many domestic companies can do it.

Ha Gong Da Mechanical Department, people

San Shui

Yeah, now our burden is gone!

The engine and transmission problems are solved; next we just need to finish the chassis design. But… we've never designed a vehicle before, so do we need to find a reference?

Speaking of the chassis, it mainly refers to the suspension and drivetrain systems; how the wheels connect to the frame is a major issue—not only must it bear the vehicle's weight, it must also provide cushioning and adapt to various terrains.

The drivetrain is responsible for distributing the power coming from the transmission to each wheel, and it can lock the wheels when slipping—what off‑road enthusiasts later call the several locks.

Ha Gong Da has no technical reserves for any of this; the best solution is to find a reference object…

Now that the people from Wan Shan Factory have come, they must also be here about the missile launch vehicle, right?

Qin Miao walked out, looking at several middle‑aged people in Zhongshan suits: "Comrades, you've come a long way, thank you for your hard work—let's go to that office building and find a meeting room to chat."

Now we need to output glossary list as JSON array of objects with raw_term and original_term.

We must ensure we use the exact English forms from glossary for those terms: Qin Miao, San Shui, Ma Rui Shan, Section Chief, Director Lu, Capital, Ha Gong Da.

For others we need to decide the English form we will use in translation. We'll need to be consistent in translation lines.

Let's now translate each line.

We'll produce translation lines, ensuring we keep the meaning, not add extra.

We'll go line by line.

【1】 Original:...

Possible translation: "After several days of fuss, it was just for this ten‑minute meeting, but Ma Rui Shan was very satisfied—after all, their urgent problem was solved, and the generator issue of the 25‑type air‑conditioned train was also resolved."

Check:... (not to output)

We can translate: "After several days of fuss, it was just for this ten‑minute meeting, but Ma Rui Shan was very satisfied—after all, their urgent problem was solved, and the generator issue of the 25‑type air‑conditioned train was also resolved."

That seems fine.

We must keep the exclamation mark? The source ends with an exclamation mark. We'll keep.

Now 【2】 Original:...

Translation: "Next, we'll go look for a domestic motor manufacturer to produce the matching 600‑kilowatt generator—this isn't hard; many domestic companies can do it."

Check:...

We'll keep.

【3】 Original:...

Translation: "They left satisfied, and over here, everyone in Ha Gong Da's Mechanical Department also smiled with satisfaction."

Check:...

We'll translate.

【4】 Original:...

Translation: "\"San Shui, you're really amazing. \""

We keep quotes.

Translation: "\"Yeah, now we've got no more burden. \""

【6】 Original:...

Translation: "\"The engine and transmission problems are all solved; next, we just need to finish the chassis design. But… we've never designed a vehicle before, so should we look for a reference? \""

We need to keep the ellipsis and tone.

【7】 Original:...

Translation: "Speaking of the chassis, it's mainly the suspension and drivetrain—how the wheels connect to the frame is a major issue: it must bear the vehicle's weight, provide cushioning, and adapt to various terrains."

Translation: "Ha Gong Da has no technical reserves for any of this; the best approach is to find a reference object…"

We need to keep the ellipsis.

【10】 Original:...

Translation: "Qin Miao chuckled, was about to speak, when a voice came from outside."

【11】 Original:...

Translation: "\"We're from Wan Shan Factory; we want to cooperate with Ha Gong Da. Comrade, please let us in. \""

【12】 Original:...

Translation: "Wan Shan Special Vehicle Factory, founded in 1970 under the aerospace department, mainly makes special vehicles; it could be said that this missile launch vehicle should originally have been their business—but… Ha Gong Da came out of nowhere, and the project fell to Ha Gong Da."

Check:...

【13】 Original:...

Translation: "Now the people from Wan Shan Factory have come; they're surely here about the missile launch vehicle, right?"

【14】 Original:...

Translation: "Qin Miao went out and saw several middle‑aged people in Zhongshan suits: \"Comrades, you've come a long way—thank you for your hard work. Let's go to that office building and find a meeting room to chat. \""

【15】 Original:...

Translation: "Letting Tie Lao Da's people enter our R&D department is meant to expose our 396‑diesel‑engine drawings—basically, to set a trap. As for these people before us… Qin Miao actually doesn't have much good feeling toward them."

Check:...

We'll translate.

【16】 Original:...

Translation: "In later times, the domestic makers of missile launch vehicles were the two factories, Tai An and Wan Shan; Wan Shan Factory grew rapidly, because after the Soviet Union dissolved they teamed up with the White‑haired Minsk Factory to form a joint venture, obtaining MAZ543 chassis technology, and soon entered a period of prosperity."

... (this seems to be a comment line, not Original)

... (comment)

... (comment)

Thus we will use pinyin for those.

Now "MAZ543" we keep as is.

... (comment)

Thus the phrase becomes: "after the Su Lian dissolved, they teamed up with the White‑haired Ming Si Ke Factory to form a joint venture, obtaining MAZ543 chassis technology, and soon entered a period of prosperity."

... (comment)

Now 【17】 Original:...

Translation: "Six‑axle, eight‑axle… these chassis vehicles soon appeared, and for a time they were limitlessly glorious."

We'll keep.

Six-axle, eight-axle... these chassis vehicles quickly appeared, and for a time they were incredibly prosperous.

Original:...

Translation: "But relying only on imports without innovation ability is definitely not enough—putting a Scud missile on the MAZ543 chassis works fine, but as they kept widening it, the width became insufficient, so they could only develop upward; the result was that the vehicles they produced almost amounted to mounting a missile on the roof."

Check:...

We'll translate.

Original:...

Translation: "Because they were excessively tall, driving had to be done carefully—otherwise they'd tip over. The Old‑hairy's White Poplar‑M Intercontinental Missile Launch Vehicle is similar, almost a tipping‑over king."

Thus translation: "Because they were excessively tall, driving had to be done carefully—otherwise they'd tip over. The Old‑hairy's White Poplar‑M Intercontinental Missile Launch Vehicle is similar, almost a tipping‑over king."

Original:...

Translation: "Many media hype the White‑haired's contributions, claiming things like "the White‑haired sends charcoal in the snow," giving missile launch vehicle technology so that our Eastern missile launch vehicles reach world‑first status—this is just praising Wan Shan Factory. Too bad, later Wan Shan's missile launch vehicles were almost all exported."

... (comment)

... (comment)

Original:...

Translation: "Whether it's the North‑stick or the Old‑ba, when you see their parades—rows of people standing on high vehicle roofs, guarding beside the missiles—that's Wan Shan Factory's masterpiece."

... (comment)

Original:...

Translation: "And our famed East Wind‑41 Intercontinental Missile Launch Vehicle uses Tai An Factory's product."

... (comment)

Original:...

Translation: "Tai An's early development was slow, only staying at the five‑axle vehicle chassis R&D, but through gradual accumulation they eventually burst forth, improving upon the Old‑hairy's missile‑vehicle defects."

... (comment)

Original:...

Translation: "Widening the body and lowering the engine meant the missile no longer had to stick up on a high roof—it could sink directly into a recess in the body."

Original:...

Translation: "The front end was also split into two halves, allowing the missile to protrude straight from the front; although it blocked the driver's view, it effectively reduced the vehicle's length."

Original:...

Translation: "Low centre of gravity, short body, small turning radius—especially when driving, stability is top‑notch! Far surpassing the industry benchmark, the White‑haired's product! So‑called White‑haired help us achieve missile launch vehicle freedom? Hehehe, the White‑haired has only ever exported Maz 543 technology—nothing higher, don't even dream of it!"

Now 【27】 Original:...

Translation: "And Tai An Factory's fresh research versus Wan Shan Factory's living off its old stock also formed a stark contrast."

... (comment)

Meanwhile, the brand-new research at Tai'an Factory and the reliance on past achievements at Wanshan Factory also formed a stark contrast.

Original:...

Translation: "At that moment, hearing Qin Miao say they wanted to find a meeting room, the leader laughed and said, \"No need to trouble ourselves—we'll just go in and hold the meeting, and by the way give you some guidance on vehicle R&D; you're also working on a project for our aerospace system, so we must give strong support. \""

Original:...

Translation: "Just that one sentence made the nearby Director Lu, who had followed along, unhappy: \"May I dare ask your exalted surname and great name? \""

Original:...

Translation: "This is looking down on the other side—you're nothing, what right do you have to give us guidance?"

Original:...

Translation: "\"This is the Section Chief of Wan Shan Factory's Technology Section, Fan Gui. \" The person beside him introduced: \"We from Wan Shan Factory come from the 066 Base; this base was previously absolutely secret—you might not even have heard of it……\""

Original:...

Translation: "\"0\" stands for national defense construction, \"6\" for the aerospace system; in that special period, from 061 to 068, a total of eight Third Line bases were built."

Original:...

Translation: "As for the Third Line people, Qin Miao respects them—back then, good people and good horses went to the Third Line; they came from big cities to the mountains, giving their youth and even their lives to the base, worthy of admiration."

Original:...

Translation: "After all, Qin Miao's own father was also from a Third Line factory—the Greater Third Line was in Yunnan‑Guizhou, the Lesser Third Line around the big cities……"

Original:...

Translation: "However, these people's high‑and‑mighty attitude still made Qin Miao uncomfortable."

Original:...

Translation: "\"Since you all know the 066 Base is absolutely secret, then our multi‑axle mobile off‑road launch vehicle is also absolutely secret—don't I need to repeat the importance of this confidentiality rule? \""

Original:...

Translation: "\"Young man, you're Qin Miao, right? Indeed, you're young and capable—good, good, your vigilance is high—but this time we came just to help you with R&D; if we talked elsewhere, we might leak secrets. \""

Original:...

Translation: "\"Don't worry, going to the meeting room is also safe—let's go! \""

Original:...

Translation: "What a joke—colleagues are rivals; not a single sheet of our design drawings can you see!"

Original:...

Translation: "\"You little comrade, how can you be so ungrateful? \" The person beside Fan Gui continued: \"We said it's absolutely secret, and it's related to your project……\""

Original:...

Translation: "Director Lu couldn't hold back: \"Who are you again? What's your rank? \""

Original:...

Translation: "\"Me? I'm the Deputy Section Chief of Wan Shan Factory's Technology Section, Fan Jian! \""

Original:...

Translation: "Pfft……"

Original:...

Translation: "Qin Miao couldn't hold back and laughed out loud—one Fan Gui, one Fan Jian; they're definitely brothers!"

... (comment)

Original:...

Translation: "\"It's not the 'lowly' in 'Gui Jian', it's the 'build' in 'construction'—you little comrade, what are you thinking? I'll give you a good scolding! Your attitude… don't you know how to respect your elders? \""

... (comment)

Original:...

Translation: "\"You low‑life, stop leaning on your old age and selling your old age—now we're talking business, so we'll just speak of ranks: Qin Miao is the general manager of Ha Gong Da's Import and Export Company; in terms of position, he's equal to the heads of other import‑export companies in the capital, a full‑bureau level, only one rank below our school's deputy department level—what's your rank? \" Director Lu gave him a sideways glance."

Original:...

Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come over and lecture people now? Do you even deserve it? We haven't even mentioned the upcoming microelectronics company yet, and Qin Miao is a major shareholder!
