The Handong matter was over, and Zhang Xun was ready to return to Tian'an.

Finding a place to settle the gold mines was the next step he needed to do, and he didn't want to delay his trip to Africa, but he needed to make some preparations before that.

The formalities of going abroad need to be run.

To prepare to build a machine tool to start the industrial revolution, he also needs to prepare information related to machine tools.

"Lin Rong is a ready-made resource, it seems that he needs to visit again, and by the way, I want to ask him to approve me to take Lin Xiaoye away. ”

Zhang Xun has an idea, that is, to wait for the gold mine to be properly settled, and strive to get a sufficient amount of money at one time, and then simply find a way to invest or set up a private research team in Bluestar, find some relevant technicians, only need to give them money, and then ask them to involve mechanical solutions for Yingyang.

After that, Bluestar specially designed it, and Yingyang was responsible for implementing it.

A great idea, but it takes a lot of money to do.

But thinking of this, Zhang Xun was worried about the newly discovered problems.

"If I continue like this, I won't have enough brains. ”

He sighed, put down a newly purchased professional book on mechanics in his hand, and solved the problem of lack of mental power through meditation, but new problems began to bother him again.

When designing the Jenny machine, Zhang Xun first memorized the structure of the Jenny machine, and then drew it in Yingyang and explained.

The previous design of farm tools and weapons was like this, and he could only rely on himself to memorize it, and then relay it to Yingyang.

First, the efficiency is too slow, and secondly, it is also a kind of torture for him.

"Can't you just get me a solution? You can't bear to watch me suffer?"

Zhang Xun looked at the light curtain in front of him with a bitter face, but the system did not react.

"Alas. ”

Zhang Xun sighed, turned off the system, then looked at the time, and thought, it's time for someone to come.

He is now sitting in the waiting hall, the plane still has some time to take off, next to him Lin Xiaoye is looking at a colorful comic book carefree, and on the other side is Wang Mianhua, who has quietly returned.

Wang Mianhua came back the day before Zhang Xun was ready to return to Tian'an.

When Lao Wang came back, there was really no sign at all, so he walked into the room, still carrying a duck in his hand.

It looks very laid-back.

Zhang Xun didn't care about his whereabouts, Wang Mianhua had a very wonderful temperament, that is, he was easy to be ignored when he didn't speak.

This temperament is great for hiding in the crowd.

So much so that Zhang Xun didn't have any surprise about his departure and return.

At that time, the dialogue was only two sentences.

"Are you back?" asked Zhang Xun.

"It's back. This is what Lao Wang replied.

There is nothing else, if there is, it is that Lao Wang's eyes when he looks at Zhang Xun are a little different from before.

Those who are familiar with him will know that Wang Mianhua's curiosity is even stronger.

Cotton, who had been hiding in the dark and staring at Zhang Xun for several days, finally determined that the events of that day had passed like this, yes, it was magically revealed, as if it had not happened.

When did the elite of the republic become blind dogs?

Didn't have any reaction?

Wang Mianhua was very depressed and had an inexplicable disappointment, but since he was sure that it was safe, he returned decisively.

And then continue to pretend that nothing happened.

……

Zhang Xun looked into the distance, then raised his eyebrows, and finally saw the person he was waiting for.

In the distance, Chen Du was dressed lightly, wearing sunglasses, and walked over with his luggage, and next to him was the man Zhang Xun had only looked at in a hurry.

That is, Chen Du's father, Chen Yang.

What made Zhang Xun couldn't help but maliciously guess was that the father and son were not too similar, and Chen Du was sharper on the Internet except for his words

The whole person's face shape is a little soft, fleshy, and less angular, which is also more in line with the aesthetics of the new generation of people in recent years.

His father, on the other hand, had an angular face, a tall figure, a calm and powerful gait, and bright eyes.

When Zhang Xun looked over there, Wang Mianhua suddenly turned his head and said to him, "That man is a practitioner." ”

"Oh, martial arts master?" Zhang Xun was a little surprised.

"That's not it, it should be a scatter, the roots are there, but well, at this age, it's definitely not a master. Cotton grinned.

Zhang Xun nodded and greeted the past with a smile.

……

……

The reason why he returned with the Chen family father and son was just a coincidence, Zhang Xun contacted Chen Du the day before he returned, mainly because Chen Du was curious about how Hathaway and Zhang Xun met, and then happened to talk about the return date in the chat, only to find out that they had booked the same flight with each other.

After a brief meeting, the two groups of people got on the plane, and then the big steel bird rose into the clouds.

“…… Didn't you say that there was still business to talk about, why did you suddenly have to go back to Tian'an?"

After the plane stabilized, Zhang Xun looked at the Chen family father and son and asked.

Chen Yang didn't talk much, except for a few words at the beginning, he was always silent afterward, but Zhang Xun always felt that his eyes were a little mysterious when he looked at him.

It seems that he is very interested in himself.

Chen Du sighed and said, "Originally, I had to go back later, but then something happened in Tian'an, do you know Xu Xiandong?"

Xu Xiandong?

Zhang felt a little familiar when he heard it, but he couldn't think of where he had heard this name.

Chen Du explained with a smile: "I think you should be able to know, Professor Xu Xiandong, he also came out of Cheonan University. ”

Zhang Xun was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

Xu Xiandong!

No wonder he felt that this name sounded familiar, and after Chen Du reminded him, he remembered that the name Xu Xiandong was not well-known in the eyes of ordinary people, but it could be called unique in his professional field.

He is a well-known scholar in China, and his research direction is mainly food problems and economic problems.

Zhang Xun can't remember his specific title now, but he knows that he is an honorary professor at many top universities in China.

It also has considerable weight among domestic scholars.

And Xu Xiandong was also born in Tian'an University, and according to the time, he was earlier than Lin Rong.

As a university scholar who came out of the school, it is natural that the school propaganda is indispensable, Zhang Xun still remembers that there are photos and introductions of Xu Xiandong on the wall of a certain teaching building.

No wonder it sounds familiar.

"What's wrong with Professor Xu?" Zhang Xun couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chen Du glanced at his father and said with a smile: "Professor Xu and my father are very good friends, but Professor Xu has been abroad for the past two years and has just returned to his hometown in Tian'an, so he hurried back." ”

Zhang Xun showed a look of enlightenment, it turned out to be a reunion of old friends, no wonder.

"So you know why we went back early. Chen Du smiled and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I remember that Professor Xu's house is not far from yours, and he loves to buy books, maybe you can still see him when you go back." ”

"Is that so?" Zhang Xun blinked, and his heart moved.

Xu Xiandong is different from the miscellaneous military advisors he met before, he is a serious scholar, and it is okay if he hasn't met it before, but since there is an opportunity in front of him, Zhang Xun has the heart to get acquainted.

In particular, Xu Xiandong mainly studies food issues, which makes Zhang Xun really not want to let go.

Yingyang's biggest weakness at present is food.

Because there is not enough arable land, so heavily dependent on grain imports, in order to solve this problem, Zhang Xun forcibly swallowed the bridgehead area, in order to alleviate the food pressure, but he can only think about this, as for how to really change Yingyang's food predicament as a whole, he really has no clue.

"If you can get acquainted with Xu Xiandong, maybe, you can get his wisdom and help?"

Zhang Xun clenched his fists slightly, his eyes drifted away, through the porthole, through the clouds outside, as if he had seen Tian'an.
