17. Chapter 6 (2) A New Beginning
Qiu Shiyao's arrival has played a great role in promoting the progress of the project, plus the construction workers who were reconvened from all over the country, these old engineers are also familiar to Qiu Shiyao, and they cooperate very tacitly. Engineer He insisted on handing over the responsibility of commander-in-chief to Qiu Shiyao, and he was willing to be a deputy by Qiu Shiyao's side to cooperate with Qiu Lao's work.
The people of that era, especially the soldiers, never put personal gains and losses in front of collective honor.
After listening to everyone's brief introduction, Xue Ming also admired this selfless old man in his heart, and as soon as Qiu Shiyao saw Xue Ming, he had a natural sense of closeness, and he liked this polite and capable young man in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, it has come to the turn of spring and summer, and the projects here have been roughly launched, and some are nearing the end, according to Xue Ming's requirements, they are equipped with the most advanced equipment and equipment that can be found at that time, and the commissioning of various equipment has gradually begun. What made Xue Ming happiest was that Qiu Shiyao found a lake with a circle of nearly 40 square kilometers for him, which was not marked on the map, which solved the problem of Xue Ming's water training, and it was only more than 50 kilometers away from the base.
Through this period of contact, Xue Ming and Qiu Shiyao became New Year's friends.
After finding this lake, Xue Ming asked excitedly, "Old Qiu, how did you know about this good place?" From the base to here, you have to climb over two mountain beams, and they are all primeval forests, did you come by yourself? ”
Qiu Shiyao smiled and said: "Xue Ming, not only there, but also farther than there, think about it, to build such a big project, can I not understand the hydrological and geological conditions here?" If you don't have first-hand information on how to arrange construction, isn't that a child's play with everyone's lives? ”
"This lake is not marked on the map, and I have found that the structure here is not the same as the drawings these days, is it a plan and layout that has been modified while the construction is being carried out?" Xue Ming spoke out the questions in his mind these days. The drawings that Xue Ming got first and the structure here are basically correct, but there are big discrepancies in some places that people usually tend to ignore, and there are often caves, which makes Xue Ming confused, and it is said that the drawings should not omit these places.
Qiu Shiyao smiled: "Do you think you can get the structural diagram here so easily?" It's a fake map, it's to meet the needs of the emergency, it's really in the secret bureau, I don't know where it is, but the structure and layout here are in my mind, more accurate than the drawings, the southernmost point of the project is near the lake, and it is connected by an underground river of the project, we can take a boat directly from here, but after the project is built, it is sealed, do you know how many exits there are for this project? ”
"Now it's known that there are three, and they're all far away." Xue Ming replied.
"These three are marked on the map, and there are five others that are not marked, which are spread in all directions like a big palm, and one of the passages is also connected to the main railway line dozens of kilometers away, and there is also a platform, and there are many elevators that can directly lead to the interior of the base, all of which are for the rapid transfer of personnel and the reception of a large number of materials and equipment in wartime. To be honest, it's a bit overkill for you here. Qiu Shiyao said with some reluctance.
Xue Ming was shocked again, he thought of the vastness of each project, but he didn't expect that it was far beyond his imagination, and it could be said to be great.
"You've been saying that this is the 'Wolf's Den', tell me about the origin of the 'Wolf's Den'." Xue Ming voiced the doubts of these days.
Qiu Shiyao smiled: "This has to start from the beginning of the preparation, and then earlier, this is an air defense project, after the liberation was closed, until those years of preparation for war and famine, there was a mention of re-expansion of this place, I and a few experts rushed here in advance, almost all of this place was covered with vegetation, it took a lot of effort to clear out a place to go in, and at the same time also found a cave not far from the side, in which were a few newborn wolf cubs, It may be that the she-wolf went out to forage for food, I insisted on not letting those few people destroy this wolf den, for this reason, a few people were almost bitten by the she-wolf who came back, and then for a long time, we often gave the she-wolf and the little wolf cubs to eat, and came and went, the she-wolf gradually became hostile to us, and was not avoiding us, that time I was outside with a few colleagues to measure, the she-wolf came back, covered in blood, probably injured by the local hunter, the she-wolf led me by the corner of the clothes and dragged to the cave, Looking at me with pleading eyes, and then at the little wolf cubs who were just running, it was for me to take care of its children, I touched the head of the she-wolf, and promised it, and the she-wolf died. A couple of colleagues and I moved the wolf cubs to the cave near our quarters, and some of them joked that we had become a 'wolf's den' and that we were going back and forth. The wolf's den slowly barked, but unfortunately, later, those colleagues left, more and more new arrivals, and the wolf cubs have grown up, so they don't stay in this hole, but as long as I go out alone, they will come over, and I don't know where they are usually, before I left them in the first two years, I saw them once or twice, and there were new wolf cubs, but I didn't know if they were still here in the two years since I went back, maybe they migrated somewhere else. ”
Xue Ming saw the old man's souvenirs, "wolf's den, wolf's den" he kept repeating in his mouth, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "This name is good, we will call it 'wolf's den in the future, the wolf is fierce by nature, wise, and more importantly, has team spirit, is good at cooperation, and can sacrifice himself without hesitation for the benefit of the collective, isn't this the standard we use to train these soldiers?" From our wolf's den, we must cultivate a large number of soldiers of a new generation who are brave in battle, good at fighting, not afraid of sacrifice, have wisdom and understanding to cooperate with each other, and regard national honor as their life, and a group of wolves that will be feared by those who dare to defy us. ”
Qiu Shiyao patted Xue Ming's shoulder and said earnestly: "Young man, the burden on your shoulders is not light, don't let down everyone's hopes for you."
