Chapter 40: A glorious and arduous task
Chen Heqian is a left-hander, but only people who are very familiar with him know about his habit.
When he was young, Chen Heqian didn't want to look too unusual, so when he ate in various public places, he used his right hand to hold chopsticks, and only when he ate at his own home, did he change to his left hand, which he felt more comfortable. After becoming an academician, I don't know who revealed his habits, so when there was a banquet, the host who was familiar with him would take the initiative to help him put the chopsticks on the left hand side, and use such details to show respect for him.
Qin Hai had a close relationship with Chen Heqian in his previous life, and he had no less than a hundred opportunities to eat together, so he naturally understood Chen Heqian's habit. Just now he helped Chen Heqian move his chopsticks to a position, firstly, because of habit, and secondly, he was also conveying a message to Chen Heqian: Don't pretend, I know who you are.
Whoever encounters such a thing, the shock in his heart will be the same as Chen Heqian. It is ridiculous that a young man he has never met should know such a secret habit of himself, and he still hides his head and tails and claims to be an engineer of the repair institute. He desperately recalled Qin Hai in his mind, but he couldn't find any clues. The other party's age is too young, how can I know him?
"Xiao Qin, have you been to the capital?" Chen Heqian asked tentatively.
"No, I've never been out of An Ho Province." Qin Hai replied depressedly, in fact, in the previous life, except for the North and South Poles, he had been to every corner of the earth, and even the crossing took place on the snowy mountains. However, now he can only say that he is a turtle and has never been anywhere.
"Do you know who I am?" Chen Heqian asked again.
"Teacher Chen, senior engineer of the General Iron and Steel Institute." Qin Hai said. Old friends, pretending to be stupid and playing with each other is too unrighteous.
"How did you recognize me?" Chen Heqian asked.
"This ...... It's a long story. Qin Hai really couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, "Otherwise, you think that I have been friends with you for a long time, and I have studied all your papers in journals such as the Journal of Iron and Steel Research." ”
"No, how can the paper say I'm left-handed?" Chen Heqian intends to pursue it to the end.
Qin Hai said with a smile: "You are my idol, this is how our generation of young people chase stars, not to mention the obvious characteristics of left-handedness, some celebrities love to read newspapers or listen to music when they go to the toilet, there are admirers to study." Compared to them, I'm too unqualified as an admirer. ”
"Uh...... ...... eating" Zhu Chongwu, who was sitting on the other side of Qin Hai, hurriedly reminded them that the topic Qin Hai said seemed to be a little disgusting.
Zhu Chongwu interrupted, and Chen Heqian was inconvenient to continue to inquire about Qin Hai, he pondered in his heart, maybe a friend of his own had taught Qin Hai, or maybe Qin Hai had read a reporter's report on him in some newspaper. However, I only had three or two chances to be in the newspaper, and I didn't seem to say anything about being left-handed.
Yue Guoyang raised his wine glass and gave a toast, and then everyone toasted each other, and the atmosphere was very warm. Qin Hai is a young man, and he can't enjoy the treatment of Yue Guoyang toasting in person, but Ge Dongyan came over to toast him a few times, and Zhu Chongwu also symbolically said it to him.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone began to quiet down, Yue Guoyang pointed at Qin Hai, and asked Chen Heqian: "Chen Gong, do you see what Xiao Qin said, is it helpful for the work of your repair shop?" ”
Chen Heqian smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Yue, you don't have to hide it, Xiao Qin has long recognized my identity, in my opinion, no one in the entire Anhe Province knows my details better than him." ”
"Oh? How could there be such a thing? Yue Guoyang was surprised, "How could he know your details?" ”
Chen Heqian shook his head, saying that he didn't know, but he humorously said in a very appropriate way, and said: "Who knows where this young man learned about the situation, Commander Yue, I think it is quite suitable for him to come to your army as a scout." ”
"Ha Luha, that's a shame." Yue Guoyang smiled, "Okay, let's open the skylight and say something, Professor Chen, do you think these things that Xiao Qin said will help you in your mission?" ”
"Very helpful." Chen Heqian said, "We just had a cursory talk just now, and then, I want to have a serious discussion with Xiao Qin, I think if he can participate in our mission, it can be of great help to us to solve the problem." ”
"Well, that's the case......" Yue Guoyang nodded, then turned his head to Qin Hai and asked, "Xiao Qin, since you know the identity of Professor Chen, do you also know what Professor Chen is doing for our troops now?" ”
Qin Hai shook his head and said: "I don't know about it, how can I know about things involving military secrets." ”
Yue Guoyang said: "I can tell you one thing, Professor Chen, they are helping our troops solve a material problem on cutting-edge equipment, and Professor Chen thinks that you have some of your own insights on materials, which can help our work." I now formally seek your opinion on your willingness to take part in this glorious and difficult work. ”
Qin Hai was not intimidated by Yue Guoyang's seriousness, he smiled and said: "It is the duty of every citizen to support national defense construction, as long as Commander Yue can trust me, I am willing to contribute to the troops." ”
"It's not that I can trust you, but it depends on whether the organization can trust you." Yue Guoyang corrected, "We have already learned about your situation, your family background is fine, and you have not participated in illegal activities during your studies in middle school and technical school, and in general, you are politically reliable." However, if you want to join the project, you need to go through further review by the Department of Political Affairs, and then you have to sign a confidentiality agreement not to disclose the project to unrelated people in the future, are you willing? ”
"No problem, I am very honored to be able to work with and learn from Mr. Chen." Qin Hai said.
Chen Heqian hurriedly said: "Where, let's learn from each other." Xiao Qin, a lot of the things you just said are also very inspiring to me. How did you come up with these principles, and we'll talk about them later. ”
"Well, let's drink this cup together, and wish our project tasks can be successfully completed as soon as possible." Yue Guoyang picked up the wine glass and touched Chen Heqian and Qin Hai in turn.
After eating, Yue Guoyang asked Qin Hai to stay at the base, and he and Zhu Chongwu and Ge Dongyan left. Subsequently, a few personnel claiming to be from the Political Department of the Provincial Military Region came and called Qin Hai to an office, where they talked seriously for an hour, asking Qin Hai about his family background, political outlook, social relations, and personal resume.
Qin Hai traveled over for several days, and he didn't bother to digest the memories in his body, but now he didn't want to digest it, but he had to digest it, but he used this opportunity to familiarize himself with the situation.
It was only at this time that he clearly remembered that the body he occupied was originally from Houling Village, Baihe Town, Jiangshan County, Anhe Province, his parents were farmers, and there was an elderly grandmother and two younger sisters who went to school. His family was not wealthy, and in addition to farming, his father had to dig coal in a nearby coal mine to support the family in his spare time. The family is looking forward to his early graduation every day, so that he can not only reduce the burden on the family, but also earn a salary and give back to the family.
Well, isn't it time to find a time to go home and take a look, with my current intelligence, at least I can make my family's life better, right? While answering the questions of the personnel of the Political Department, Qin Hai secretly pondered these trivial matters in his heart.
"Okay, Comrade Qin Hai, you have passed our review and can enter the project of the base. Now I would like to announce to you the rules of secrecy, and I ask you to take a careful note and keep it in mind at all times. The officer of the Political Department said to Qin Hai seriously.
"Uh-huh, you say, I'll just write it down." Qin Hai pretended to be serious, and took out a pen and notebook to record the various confidentiality requirements. As a matter of fact, these secrecy requirements are very familiar to him, and he has participated in countless secret and top-secret projects in his previous life, and any one of the national defense secrets in his mind can scare the pretending little officer in front of him.
After learning the confidentiality code and signing the confidentiality agreement, Qin Hai was finally taken to Chen Heqian's temporary office and met with the research team of the missile tail performance project.
"Xiao Qin, welcome to our team!" Chen Heqian saw Qin Hai brought by the officer of the Political Department, his face was full of joy, he stepped forward to take his hand, and began to introduce him to the people in the team: "This is Engineer Li, this is Professor Zhang, and this is ......."
"You are all seniors, and I am here to learn from them." Qin Hai bowed slightly to everyone, showing a look of humility on his face.
"Oh, welcome fresh blood to join, do a good job, if there is anything you don't understand, just bring it up, don't have any worries." The experts all showed Qin Hai the love of the seniors for the younger generations.
Qin Hai nodded at everyone's encouragement, like a master's student who had just debuted. But after Chen Heqian introduced the experts and gave Qin Hai an introduction to his previous work, Qin Hai's fangs were exposed. He pointed to the string of formulas written by Chen Heqian on the small blackboard with his finger and said:
"With all due respect, the progress of our preliminary work is slow, and the problem lies in the way of thinking. The traditional idea of high-temperature strength materials is no longer suitable for the requirements of new equipment, and we must jump out of the traditional way and fully learn from foreign advanced experience. For example, on the basis of the traditional 4340 steel, the Americans have greatly improved the strength and toughness of the material by adding silicon elements, and developed 300M steel, which we can refer to. ”
There was a crackling sound, and the experts' glasses fell to the ground.
"Who is this, why is he talking so arrogantly!"
"I looked quite modest just now, but it turned out to be all pretended!"
"Boy, do you dare to debate the three lilies with the old man!"
Qin Hai, the eel, successfully stirred up the entire project team.
