This is an era of rapid economic development. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, the productive forces have been greatly liberated through changes in the relations of production, and the once devastated republic has been able to stand firmly from the dying economic ruins. On both sides of the road, all kinds of buildings with the rudiments of modern architectural style are composing a march of the republic belonging to this era. Even if he is in the barracks and does not directly participate in such a tide of endeavor, the old man Zhao Manhong can feel the difference between this era and twenty years ago.

However, what can also be felt is the change in the social atmosphere. The whole society is in a state of some blindness and impetuousness. Under the influence of the slogan centered on economic construction, people's pursuit of material things has been unabashedly revealed. Everything looks forward is simply interpreted as "everything looks at the money". In this way, the inspiring patriotic feelings that once pervaded every corner of the republic in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic and after the smashing of the Four Benevolence Gangs were no longer often mentioned. Even if I occasionally hear between the lines of the speeches of leaders at all levels at school or unit meetings, it is just a simple cliché and a script. People have become numb to terms that are more associated with giving or giving, and are no longer easily infected, let alone moved.

Old Man Zhao has a sad feeling in his heart. But at the same time, he was helpless. He was just an ordinary technologist in the army. If he still has some solutions for the failure of guns, he has nothing to do about the failure of the human heart or the hidden diseases of society. For those who are no longer moved by terms like "country" or "nation" and only care about what benefits they can get, it may not be possible for even the best political commissars of the military region to wake up and return to the main theme of "dedication" and "selflessness" that can only be found in the paradise of collectivism.

And in such a social environment, you can also find a little girl who dares and is willing to invest her money in the research of military equipment, which is the most scarce now, and to be honest, Old Man Zhao's curiosity about Shen Yiyi's investment motivation is much higher than how she can have so much money. Even the old man didn't care about Shen Yiyi's money in his selfish heart. He wished that Shen Yiyi would have a better way to invest more money in our country's military equipment and do things that those countries did not have money for. Because he knows that such an investment is conducive to increasing our ability to defend our homeland.

Old man Zhao Manhong's favorability towards Shen Yiyi surged, making him accept Shen Yiyi's early departure very peacefully, and even took the initiative to help Shen Yiyi find a reason why he might want to make money. Compared with the strict requirements for Shen Yiyi in the research and development process before, the old man can be said to have changed his personality at this time.

Although Shen Yiyi was a little surprised by Old Man Zhao's change in attitude, she would naturally accept the kindness of others. Because it's the best atmosphere, isn't it?

Shen Yiyi also got the promise of Old Man Zhao to take it, and really let go of his heart and began the process of putting down himself to the self who toasted to his classmates.

Drunkenness is not at all unbeneficial. At least she remembered that the two men who seemed to have something to say to her, because they saw that they were too drunk and crumbling, they forgot for a moment what they had to say to her, and instead worried about their bodies. Of course, even if they said something at the time, Shen Yiyi could argue that he didn't hear what they said on the grounds that he was already drunk.

So after Shen Yiyi got up in the morning the next day, facing the two handsome guys who were a little helpless because they couldn't send him out of the barracks, Shen Yiyi could say goodbye to the two very easily.

Although Deputy Commander Shen himself had no way to send his daughter back to school, he still sent his own special car to send her daughter away. He had already thought about it, and in view of the outstanding performance of the new fully automatic machine gun, the entire military region had almost begun to look forward to being equipped with this machine gun, and now the military region had a very high favorable opinion of the entire team of Tsinghua University, which developed this machine gun. Therefore, in the future, after all the tests are really completed, when these students from Tsinghua University leave, the military region will definitely send them back to Tsinghua University very ceremoniously. When the time comes, maybe you will have to beat gongs and drums to send pennants. In this case, as a member of the R&D team, his daughter should not be considered special to enjoy the treatment of being sent back by a special car.

In fact, Deputy Commander Shen was thinking too much. No one would accuse him, the father, of sending his daughter away in his own car. Because everyone is a soldier, they will feel that they owe something to their family. Therefore, every military family member who comes to the army to visit relatives will enjoy the treatment of vehicle transportation arranged by the army. To a certain extent, Shen Yiyi also came to the army to visit relatives. It's just that it's just his father's relatives.

Liu Yihao helped Shen Yiyi carry one of her bags into the car. He had figured it out the night before. Since Shen Yiyi left the team early and returned to school, wouldn't it be okay to speed up the progress of the rest of the work on his side? The sooner you complete the program, the sooner you can go back to school.

When I get to school, can't I go back to the situation where I used to meet Shen Yiyi often?

Liu Yihao looked at the officer who was also carrying Shen Yiyi's bag on the side, and thought very proudly that at that time, this handsome officer who was a bit of an eyesore would no longer appear in front of Shen Yiyi. Because it's inconvenient for soldiers to move.

Liu Yihao still had to express his loyalty to Shen Yiyi before parting. Of course, this loyalty is not the same as the other's loyalty.

"Shen Yiyi, don't worry. With Zhao Lao helping us, we will definitely be able to complete the system integration of the next machine gun very quickly. When the time comes, we will be able to go back to school and learn as soon as possible. Liu Yihao has been in the army for a long time, and the words he uses have also tended to be militarized. For example, the word "teacher" is a little interesting to listen to in Shen Yiyi's ears.

However, Shen Yiyi also followed his words and said: "Okay." Liu Yihao, don't worry, I will tell you when I go back that your work here has been fruitful and has achieved great success. Our class's graduation thesis was only a short distance away from excellence. When you get back to school, all of us will be there for you. ”

Peng Weining, who was on the side, watched the two classmates talking and laughing between them, and there was inevitably a little imbalance in his heart.

is also saying goodbye to Shen Yiyi, the person on the side will soon be able to return to school, and he will be able to get along with Shen Yiyi day and night again, and he will have such a chance to get along with Shen Yiyi again, I don't know when I will have to wait. At this moment, Peng Weining hopes that Shen Yiyi can graduate early. Because Shen Yiyi's mother Yang Rui secretly told him that the age set by the Shen family's grandfather to allow his granddaughter to fall in love was to graduate from college.

Although Deputy Commander Shen may not necessarily approve of the time set by the old man of the Shen family for his granddaughter to lift the ban on love, but the affairs of the Shen family, what the old man Shen said counts. Because in every big family, the words of the patriarch are true.

Peng Weining had already decided that when Shen Yiyi graduated, he would directly talk to her and not wait for a day. Because he has been suppressing his heart for almost three years in order not to embarrass this little girl. Whenever he heard or saw that there were equally excellent boys around Shen Yiyi, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart. He had confidence in himself, but he had no confidence in Shen Yiyi's feelings about him.

However, after Peng Weining participated in Shen Yiyi's project this time, he suddenly saw a ray of light. Shen Yiyi's project this time is said to be the graduation project that they need for their graduation thesis. And after the completion of this project, the graduation thesis can be completed very quickly. In this way, Shen Yiyi may be able to graduate early. In this case, wouldn't I be able to achieve that condition a year earlier?

Peng Weining felt excited when he thought about it. So the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

After Shen Yiyi and Liu Yihao finished speaking, they turned around and saw Peng Weining on the side with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Doesn't Brother Peng feel sorry for leaving the barracks today? Look at him with a smile on his face. This made Shen Yiyi's heart a little unhappy for some reason.

Shen Yiyi himself may not have thought about it. She herself always dragged on and didn't want to accept the affection of any good man around her, but she enjoyed the hospitality that others offered her. Such courtesy may have been obtained too easily, and she has taken it for granted. And once she finds out that such hospitality may not be enjoyed for a day, she will intuitively feel unhappy in her heart.

Such a Shen Yiyi is already close to green tea. Of course, Shen Yiyi still has his own inner moral code to warn himself not to slip into such a situation.

Shen Yiyi stretched out his right hand to Peng Weining: "Little Brother Peng, thank you for your support to our work during this time. Without your mediation, our research project wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it should. Now that I'm leaving, I hope you can continue to support our team and complete this research project as soon as possible. ”

Shen Yiyi is also the general convener of this project, or the general person in charge. She left the scene, but the burden on her body would not be unloaded at this time. On the other hand, in fact, there are not many people who do specific work in general, but most of them are responsible for overall management. As the general person in charge of the project, what she said to Peng Weining at this moment was similar to an official word.

Peng Weining also stretched out his hand and held the jade wrist. He didn't care that Shen Yiyi said official words to him one by one. Of course, there may be a little regret in my heart. But this is also in line with the current situation of the unspecified relationship between him and Shen Yiyi.

So, Peng Weining also smiled at Shen Yiyi and said, "Shen Yiyi, have you forgotten that I am a soldier?" I have been tasked by the chief to coordinate your work during your time in the barracks. So the work that cooperates with you comes from the orders of the Chief. And as soldiers, we are committed to obeying orders. So you don't have to thank me. That's what I'm supposed to do. ”

Shen Yiyi muttered in his heart. This little Brother Peng, do you want to be so formal. It sounds as if their family has nothing to do with ours. Are the two of us strangers?

If Peng Weining could hear what Shen Yiyi was thinking, he would feel very happy to think about it. Because Shen Yiyi's heart is actually not as insensitive to herself as she shows. On the contrary, Shen Yiyi has imagined the relationship between the two as a family-like intimacy.

Of course, Peng Weining didn't have that kind of special function, so he couldn't hear Shen Yiyi's heart. And Shen Yiyi also hid his heart very well. She didn't say anything polite to Peng Weining, and got into her father's car.

When the car drove away from the guest house, Shen Yiyi watched in the car's reflector as the figures of the two people in the mirror became smaller and smaller. The waving arms of the two gradually became invisible. She exhaled deeply.

After being reborn, the second big project that I completed by myself was almost over. Shen Yiyi himself estimated that he would not have the opportunity to engage in any more research in the short term. Because of the next few big projects, she will do it in a different form. In that form, she will no longer focus on the specific and subtle work content, but will control the whole project at a macro level.

And the reason why he made the decision to leave this machine gun project early was actually because he suddenly made that decision on the way from Wang Kai's car to the cafeteria. She decided to speed up the few projects she currently has in hand to fund and collaborate with various research institutes.

Wang Kai's early departure gave Shen Yiyi a great sense of crisis. Shen Yiyi suddenly felt that maybe under the current situation, he and Wang Kai's research progress schedule could be accelerated or advanced. If that's the case, maybe he should take advantage of Wang Kai's two days to reach an updated research plan with his successor.

She hadn't worked with the girl who was obviously hostile to her because of Wang Kai, so she didn't know what her temperament was. Anyway, I will hurry up and have a deal with her first, and if anything goes wrong, while Wang Kai is still in Beijing, I can quickly solve the problem. Otherwise, when Wang Kai leaves Beijing, it may be more difficult to resolve the conflict on his own. (To be continued.) )
