"Now that it is the Republic of China, the era of feudal arranged marriages is over, and I will not let this wrong marriage continue! I'm not going to compromise on anything, and you don't expect to use my children to blackmail me!" ”

A young man in a tunic stalked to the woman in front of him, with a Sven face and a pair of glasses, and looked like an intellectual. His affection was very excited, and he had the posture that the woman in front of him would not give up without nodding.

Beside him sat a fashionable woman in a dress, she had curly hair, she was very beautiful, there were many ladies who were not lively and foreign, and she did have fascinating capital. She took the man's hand and said in a soft and elegant tone: "Feudal arranged marriage is a shackle imposed on every one of us with progressive ideas in the old era, not only Zhihong is a victim under this system, Gu, you too. Because of the marriage obtained by the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, you will not be happy, and Zhihong will not be happy. In that case, why not let it go, let you get relief, and let Zhihong get relief? ”

She glanced at the man beside her affectionately: "Now, the person Zhihong loves is me, and I also love Zhihong, although the family doesn't approve of me being with Zhihong, and I think it's a shame." But I am not ashamed, but I am honored for it. Each of us has the right to pursue free love and marriage, and as young people, we should abandon the rotten ideas of the older generation and pursue a tomorrow that belongs to us. Don't cling to the past anymore, Gu, those things that are outdated are destined to be obsolete. ”

The woman sitting across from the two of them was dressed in black overalls, her shiny hair neatly pulled up, and a few strands of broken hair hanging down from her ears. She has fair skin and delicate features, and although she simply wears light makeup, it is just right, making her look energetic and capable. It's a pity that when she doesn't smile, her temperament around her body is too cold, and she keeps people away.

She was noncommittal about the impassioned statement of the woman in front of her. She glanced at her watch, then looked at her nominal husband and his girlfriend Yu Man with an indifferent expression: "There are five minutes and eight seconds left, what else do you want to say?" ”

"Gu Shuhan, are you determined not to divorce me?" Qin Zhihong stood up angrily: "I sue you, this marriage, you have to leave if you want to, and you have to leave if you don't want to!" ”

"As long as the division of property can be agreed, I can sign a divorce agreement with you immediately. After thinking it through, feel free to contact my lawyer. ”

"You! Gu Shuhan, I didn't expect you to be such an insatiable woman! It's just a divorce, and you have to divide so much property! How do you have the face to speak! ”

"That's my dowry, and I take it with a clear conscience. I'm a layman who smells of copper, and I'm not as tall as Mr. Qin, and I will definitely not give an inch when it comes to money. Gu Shuhan raised his chin slightly, looking directly at Qin Zhihong, obviously in a level-headed posture, but she was forced to get the feeling of looking down, this posture, this kind of look, made Qin Zhihong feel unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.

This woman was surprisingly calm from the beginning, maintaining the same expression, the same sitting posture, not to mention gaffes, she was even stingy to show her excess affection in front of him. But the more calm she is, the more unbearable she is that he can't control his anger.

"I won't hinder you from pursuing your 'advanced ideas', and my daughter will never have anything to do with you in the future, so you don't have to worry about us coming to pester you. But it should be mine, I won't ask for any less, and I won't watch you take the property that belongs to me and raise other women. She glanced at Yu Man, who was snuggled up to Qin Zhihong's side, obviously just an understatement, but it made Yu Man sit still.

Yu Man moved a little uncomfortably, although she heard that Gu Shuhan was from a wealthy family at first, she didn't pay much attention to it. In her mind, Gu Shuhan, a woman who was raised with three disciplines and four virtues, must be rigid in her thinking, like a wooden man, and there is no threat to her.

Yu Man never thought that Gu Shuhan was completely different from what she imagined, Gu Shuhan was not ugly at all, on the contrary, very beautiful. Even if she has always been conceited with her, she has no confidence that she will definitely be able to defeat Gu Shuhan. Although the latter has given birth to children, her figure is not out of shape at all, but has a touch of mature woman's charm.

In terms of temperament, she has stayed abroad, has knowledge and insight, and is more confident than ordinary ladies, but she is nothing compared to Gu Shuhan. Although Gu Shuhan's experience is mediocre, she seems to be no different from ordinary old-school women, but no one who has seen her will equate her with old-school women. Moreover, she is also an industrialist, and she is tough enough to be admired by others at all.

Just looking at this last one, Gu Shuhan is much stronger than her.

The superposition of various factors gave Yu Man a strong sense of crisis.

"You shouldn't slander my relationship with Zhihong like this, Gu. Love is beautiful, you shouldn't defile it with money! She struggled to assert her shaky advantage.

"I said, I'm a layman and I don't know anything about love. I don't care what you and Qin Zhihong are together for, I just want the final result. Gu Shuhan's cool eyes looked at Qin Zhihong, as if he wanted to see through him: "For Mr. Qin, love is more important than anything else, and money must not be taken into account, in this case, why bother with me, this 'feudal dross' for these yellow and white things?" As for you, Miss Yu, since you think that your love should not be tainted by money, then you should persuade Mr. Qin to settle the account with me as soon as possible. In this way, there will be no one to stop you from falling in love. ”

"You ......" Qin Zhihong was angry: "Those properties have already been classified into the public treasury and used as ancestral property, you don't know it!" How are you going to tell me to open this mouth to my mother! ”

"Again, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me. When I promised to put the dowry into the public treasury, I didn't expect that my once trusted husband would one day turn his face and deny anyone. Now that I know who you really are, I naturally want to get back what is mine. Or can you squander my fortune with peace of mind as long as you put all the blame on your mother? Mr. Qin, I don't ask you to pay my daughter's child support, because she doesn't have a father like you, but please don't be so shameless, so that our mother and daughter can have a way to live. ”

"Who should you be to scare your stinky money!" Qin Zhihong was furious, as if he had been greatly insulted, his lips trembled violently, and he was about to blurt out the matter of returning the dowry, however, thinking of the strict and rigid face of the old mother at home, he finally held back this breath.

He understood that no matter what, Qin Mu would never agree to this request. Although he was in a hurry to break off with Gu Shuhan, he was unwilling to disobey his mother too much.

"If you want money, you can discuss it with your mother yourself, but you must not make your mother angry." In the end, he pushed this problem back in front of Gu Shuhan. If it weren't for Gu Shuhan's refusal to let go, he would not be in such a dilemma as he is now.

"It seems that you haven't figured it out yet, now, you don't have room to bargain with me, Mr. Qin." Gu Shuhan looked at Qin Zhihong with a cold, as if looking at an inanimate object: "Return the dowry, and then divorce." Or—" She glanced at Yu Man's still-bulging lower abdomen, "Let your child be born as an illegitimate child on your back." ”

"You! Gu Shuhan, I didn't expect you to be so unreasonable! You are the one who asks for money, and you are the one who refuses to go! Are you just trying to use this as an excuse to delay the divorce? ”

"Mr. Qin thinks too much." Gu Shuhan raised the corners of his eyes and said sarcastically: "It should be your responsibility, and sooner or later you will have to bear it." You see, no one is going to do something for you all the time. Since you have made up your mind to divorce me, you should solve the troubles in the process. Mr. Qin wouldn't even have this responsibility, would he? ”

Qin Zhihong's face turned pale: "Gu Shuhan, you have changed, you were not like this before." ”

"'I' used to accommodate you, because you were 'my' husband, and in the future, heh...... What are you? Gu Shuhan was impatient to talk to Qin Zhihong again, she looked at her watch and compared the posture of sending off a guest: "Ten and three seconds." Alright, your time is up, please get out. See me next time, please make an appointment in advance. If you break in like this one again, I'll have the guards fork you out. ”

"You dare!" Qin Zhihong flipped the table in front of him to the ground, his eyes widened, and his fire-breathing eyes seemed to want to swallow Gu Shuhan in one bite.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Mr. Qin, please remember that this is my territory. Gu Shuhan's face sank: "If you want to be majestic, please go back to your own home!" ”

The guards outside heard the movement in the inner room and rushed in: "Miss Gu, is something wrong?" ”

"'Invite' this gentleman out and teach him the basic etiquette of being a guest."

"Yes, Miss Gu."

Qin Zhihong's roar and curse sounded in his ears, and Gu Shuhan closed his eyes.

Outside, there was another burst of people turning on their backs, and it was obvious that Qin Zhihong was not so easy to dismiss. However, he was alone, and he was a weak scholar, and he couldn't turn over any storms, and soon, calm was restored around him.

After a while, there were footsteps again.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? This expression again? ”

Gu Shuhan opened her eyes and watched the man in front of her put a cup of hot tea in front of her, and removed the coffee cup on her desk with her hand: "Drink less of this thing, don't look at it as a foreign devil's thing, it's not good to drink too much." I've heard that women love to drink cocoa now, so let's have some? ”

"No, I don't like it." Gu Shuhan's gaze swept over the cup containing cocoa, and finally landed on the man in front of him. I don't know if her dislike is aimed at Coco or a man.

In all fairness, the man in front of him is young and handsome, he has an attractive face, there is always a bad smile on the corner of his mouth, and he is still from an extraordinary background, his father is a high-ranking official in the southern government, and he is related to Qin Lao, who is famous in B City, he is confident, hard in the background, and he is also motivated, it can be said that he has enough capital to make a woman's heart move.

However, Gu Shuhan has always been heavily wary of him, even if this man can be regarded as a grace to her.

He is too gentle and knows how to make women happy, and he is too affectionate, just like those playboys in the later generations, if she doesn't put up a high guard in front of him, I'm afraid she will lose completely.

Thankfully, her self-control has always been strong.

"Who made our Miss Gu unhappy?" He propped his hands on the edge of the table and approached Gu Shuhan with a ruffian smile: "Say it, I'll beat him for you?" ”

This ambiguous tone is really evocative. Gu Shuhan frowned, leaning back: "It's just an inconsequential person." Obviously, she didn't want to continue the topic, and instead said, "Mr. Bai came here to see the progress of the factory?" ”

Bai Yu waved his hand: "Let's talk about those things Ming'er, now, I care more about you." ”

"It's working time, and if Mr. Bai comes to talk to me about work, I'd welcome it. If you have a personal matter, please talk to me after work, of course, when it comes to personal questions, whether or not to answer you depends on my personal wishes. Gu Shuhan said expressionlessly.

All she needs is a partner, and Bai Yu's thoughts will undoubtedly complicate together. only talk about work, not anything else, this is Gu Shuhan's criterion when facing Bai Yu.

"You are really ......" Bai Yu was a little helpless, and finally, he stretched out his hands and made a surrender form: "Okay, then let's talk about work." ”

Gu Shuhan crossed his hands and routinely reported to Bai Yu: "The development of the piston engine has entered the final stage, and it is currently undergoing performance testing, and if there is no problem, it will soon be put into use." The piston aero engine has made certain modifications and improvements on the ordinary piston engine, you can take a look. ”

She pulled out a drawing from the locked drawer that she had drawn when she proposed the engine.

Bai Yu looked at the detailed drawing and was stunned, even if he had no doubt about Gu Shuhan's ability, he didn't expect that Gu Shuhan would be able to come up with research results in a short period of time. The drawings are also marked with a variety of performance parameters, although Bai Yu does not understand the structure of the engine, but he can still understand what those parameters represent. Because of this, he was taken aback.

Ever since the southern government refused to be dependent on the West at the initiative of Prime Minister Bai, those countries have changed their former amicable features and become unapproachable. Those countries stopped exporting their equipment, even if it was obsolete and unused, even if they were willing to pay a high amount of money to buy it, those arrogant Western countries would not let go.

Prime Minister Bai is unwilling to compromise on issues of principle, but technical barriers do plague them. Although the southern government still has some strength, in the long run, it will inevitably lose the upper hand in the competition with other forces. At that time, no matter how much Qin Lao supports Prime Minister Bai, I'm afraid there will be chaos. Internal and external troubles have made Premier Bai worried for a long time.

This situation did not improve until Bai Yu met Gu Shuhan.

No, Gu Shuhan brought him more than that. If these performance parameters are true, then the engine made by her will only be better and more mature than abroad.

A balsa wooden model airplane flew over Bai Yu's head, interrupting his musings. Bai Yu grabbed it in his hand and looked at the model aircraft curiously: "This is... Aerocraft? Doesn't look like an airship? ”

"It's a fixed-wing aircraft, or you could call it an airplane. This is only a preliminary model, not a final product. ”

In this year, airplanes are still a new thing that has not been born for long. The Wright brothers created them more than a decade ago, but Chinese people are still unfamiliar with them.

Compared with Bai Yu, Gu Shuhan is quite calm, and he is not complacent because of the birth of such a work.

"You're saying we can build our own planes?"

"Yes, after the engine is inspected, it can be put into production. However, I do not plan to have this aircraft mass-produced in the factory. In Bai Yu's inquiring eyes, Gu Shuhan explained: "The piston propeller aircraft has low speed and light weight, which is not suitable for military operations, and the effect of deterrence is greater than the practical significance. It is also not a very good choice if it is used to carry people and cargo. It will only be a starting point for the development of the department, and will eventually be replaced by more high-speed and efficient turbines, and as an over-the-top product, I don't think there is a need for mass production of piston aircraft. Of course, if you're going to sell it to other forces, or sell it abroad, that's a different story. ”

From ancient times to the present, human beings have always had the dream of flying. After the development of science and technology to a certain extent, aircraft began to appear on the stage of history one by one, from the Monte Gofi brothers' manned hot air balloon, to Lilienthal's glider, and then to the first airship loaded with power plant, the research and development of aircraft has been constantly promoted.

It is still the golden age of airships, and airships are playing an important role in the European theater. However, with the development of piston aircraft, the aircraft will eventually replace the flammable, explosive, clumsy and low-speed airship as the air supremacy. But like a short-lived airship, the piston aircraft will become a passer-by in the aviation world, and the inefficiency of the engine and the limitation of capacity are destined to be replaced by turbines.

Turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, and turboshafts. The first three are used in public aviation aircraft, which are responsible for carrying people and cargo, while the relatively complex turbine shafts are used in the production of military aircraft and helicopters for military use or in agriculture, forestry and industry.

After satisfying the dream of aviation, people turned their attention to aerospace and space. Therefore, there was Gagarin's first space odyssey, the Apollo moon landing program, and the visits to space by Shenzhou and Chang'e. In the absence of air, turbines that generate power by burning air cannot do their job, and spacecraft with jet engines are born.

This is the history of aerospace, compared to which the era of airships and piston propeller engines is only a small part of it.

Every country wants its technology to be ahead of the rest, from defense systems on airplanes to satellites. In the previous life, the United States was at the forefront, followed by European countries, and at the end of the 21st century, where Gu Shuhan was located, China took a long detour in the aerospace field because of technical barriers, so that Boeing aircraft and Airbus aircraft no longer dominated the entire Chinese civil aviation market, domestic models finally had a place, and fighter jets and spacecraft were finally able to catch up with those aerospace powers. One step at a time, with each step, she and her companions walked with great difficulty. In this life, she has the advantage of time, and she will make good use of those research results and stand at the forefront of the aerospace field.

Although Gu Shuhan's face was calm, his eyes were full of determination.

Bai Yu's breathing became obviously a lot heavier: "You mean...... Can you build a better plane than this? ”

"The theoretical system is quite mature, and if there are enough raw materials and production tools, there is no problem."

Bai Yu did a long time of psychological construction, and then he suppressed the excitement: "Fortunately, it was me who met you at that time." He sighed heartily. If such a person is left to the opponent, he can really die.

"What?"

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

Gu Shuhan was stunned, her eyes began to become blurred, and her memory followed his words, returning to the most difficult time at the beginning of her crossing, and it was also the turning point of 'Gu Shuhan's entire life.
