Gangneung Expressway exit.

Staring at the end of the endless highway, Wu Dingrong squinted his eyes in the cold wind, and his old face was frozen black and red. Fortunately, there was no snow today, otherwise the stubble might have been covered with snowflakes.

After waiting too long, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, twisted his stiff neck to look at the secretary standing next to him, and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Are you sure Professor Lu is coming back today?"

“…… I heard from the people at the Transportation Bureau that I should be back today, so I won't stay on the highway for a day, right? It's only 500 kilometers, and it's not the peak season...... Mayor, why don't you go to the toll booth first? I'll call you again when there's news from the road administration. ”

Sun Xiaofeng, who was standing next to Wu Dingrong, was also confused.

Especially looking at the trace of displeasure that flashed on Mayor Wu's face, he was even more anxious at the moment like an ant on a hot pot.

He was the first to learn that Lu Zhou was going back to Gangneung today, and he reported the news to the mayor as soon as possible.

After learning that Academician Lu was going to return to his hometown, the leaders of the municipal party committee immediately held a work meeting, decided on the greeting arrangements in three hours, hung a banner at the exit of the expressway in one hour, and rushed here in the remaining hour.

It stands to reason that if he is an ordinary academician, he is not worthy of being greeted by a local municipal party committee leader. Although nominally academicians enjoy the treatment of deputy BU, the treatment level and the administrative level are two different things, and the administrative level and the real power are far apart.

But this Academician Lu is different.

He has not only led a number of national key projects, but was honored as a guest by the House of Elders, and was awarded the "Lingyun" medal by the elder himself!

Such an outstanding feat, let alone a local mayor, even a high-ranking official must be polite. Now that the big man is going back to his hometown, as a local parent official, Mayor Wu naturally arranged this matter to the most important position on the worksheet.

Now, however, something seems to have gone awry......

It stands to reason that after six or seven hours of driving, Academician Lu's car should have gotten off the highway from here, but now I haven't even seen a single car, which is really a bit confusing.

"No," Wu Dingrong shook his head, looked at the other end of the road with an unwavering expression, and said critically, "Academician Lu, an important person of the country, is rare to go back to his hometown, as the leader of Jiangling City, I must let him feel the warmth and sincerity from his hometown." What is warmth? What is sincerity? Go to the house and sit down, and wait for someone to come to the door before coming out, is that still called sincerity? We're warm, have you considered other people's feelings? ”

It's all arranged at the entrance of the highway, which is not called sincerity, do you still plan to follow the example of the ancients and greet each other?

Looking at the stubborn Mayor Wu, although he knew in his heart that this was a show, Secretary Sun still persuaded him with a smile.

"But...... It's not appropriate for you to stand outside like this! In the winter, the north wind is still blowing, if you are frozen and cold, Academician Lu will definitely be upset. ”

Wu Ding Rongxin said that it would be good if he really didn't want to go.

Of course, the cameras are still here, and the reporters of the local and provincial newspapers are still here, so of course they can't say what they want to say.

"It doesn't matter if I have a cold, Academician Lu has fallen ill on the scientific research front, what is my cold and flu? Besides, I'm in good health! Wu Dingrong shook his head and said, "This topic ends here, if you feel cold, go back and rest by yourself." ”

Although Secretary Sun was so cold that he wanted to turn around and leave, how dare he move his legs at this time.

Go back to rest?

If he goes back to rest, I'm afraid that tomorrow he will really go home to rest.

Although he was bitter in his heart, he could only follow the mayor and the leading group of the municipal party committee to shiver in the cold wind.

Glancing enviously at the big coat that the mayor was wearing, and then at the thin suit on his body, Sun Xiaofeng couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

He only hopes now that Academician Lu's driver can drive faster.

If you continue to wait like this, it is not certain that the mayor will not have a cold, but he will definitely not be able to run away from this cold and fever......

……

Unfortunately, Secretary Sun's prayers were destined to come to naught.

Not only Secretary Sun, but also the entire Jiangling Municipal Party Committee, probably didn't expect that Lu Zhou would make a temporary turn before going home and go to the provincial capital on the way.

After getting off the highway in Jiangcheng, Wang Peng set up navigation on an unmarked blank area in the map, drove on the ring road, and quickly drove the car to the edge of the high-tech park in the east of Jiangcheng.

The newly established semiconductor industrial base is located here.

Tall concrete walls resemble medieval walls, enclosing the entire park, and the only entrance and exit of the six-lane road is a checkpoint and sentry post.

Wang Peng, who slowly drove the car to a checkpoint, lowered the window and showed his ID to the soldiers who came forward, and was quickly released.

Looking at Wang Peng, who put away the documents, Lu Zhou asked curiously.

"Can you go anywhere with that pass?"

"Of course not," Wang Peng shook his head, "I have to apply before I go, and I have to write a report after I go." This includes what you are going to, who you are going with, who you have met, and how long you have been there. ”

Is it so troublesome?

"But I don't seem to have seen you apply."

Wang Peng smiled and said, "Of course, someone has already applied for the application, after all, we are not alone to escort you back." ”

"That's right...... It's really troublesome. ”

Thinking that he had delayed many people to go home for the New Year, Lu Zhou was embarrassed for a while.

However, Wang Peng doesn't seem to take this matter too seriously.

"Don't bother, your safety comes first, not to mention this year's special situation."

Lu Zhou made a suggestion and said.

"Don't you miss home? I think it's better for you to arrange a shift change. ”

Hearing this, Wang Peng couldn't help but smile.

"Soldiers are home all over the world, they have a home in their hearts, and they are home everywhere."

The vehicle slowly drove into the industrial park.

Next to the six-lane road, there are boxy factories, and occasionally small and medium-sized logistics trucks can be seen coming and going from under the wide gates.

Although the atmosphere here is not very lively, every factory or research institute is like a cog, running in an orderly manner.

Looking at the landscape on both sides of the highway, Lu Zhou felt a sigh of emotion in his heart.

It's been less than two months.

A park has basically taken shape, and many research institutes and factories have even started......

If that's not a miracle, what else is?

Looking at Lu Zhou from the rearview mirror, Wang Peng, who was holding the steering wheel, slowed down the car and asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Lu Zhou thought for a few seconds and spoke.

"Let's go to Warwick HiSilicon and have a look."

After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Wang Peng nodded.

"Okay."

The black red flag drove down six lanes and headed towards the building in the center of the park.

Here, there is the newly established R&D unit of Huawei HiSilicon, as well as the semiconductor processing base.

Of course, it is too early to say that the semiconductor processing base is too early, and the entire production and research base is currently serving the R&D port. When will carbon-based transistor technology be transformed into a visible product, we will be able to talk about production.

Since Star Technology has already invested in HiSilicon earlier, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has sent a team engaged in carbon-based semiconductor research to help engineers and chip experts here solve the problem of industrialization.

After driving the car into the parking lot and parking, Lu Zhou called Chen Yushan and told her that he was now on the side of the semiconductor industrial base in Jiangcheng, and then got out of the car and walked in the direction of the factory.

However, just as he reached the door, a staff member wearing a hard hat and a manager's uniform came up to stop him.

"Stop! What department are you and how are you with us...... , Lu Zhou?! ”

When he saw the face under the helmet clearly, the surprise on Lu Zhou's face was not much less, and he almost blurted out.

"Little?!"

it!

Huang Guangming?!

A roommate who slept in the same room with him when he was an undergraduate.

I actually ran into ...... here.

This......

What a coincidence, right?!
