Chen Changming walked out of the bus station, and Xiao Zhou followed behind him with a suitcase.

Lacking repairs, the station looks a little shabby, and the entrance is full of taxis soliciting business.

I went up to find a more formal-looking taxi and asked, "Do you have a meter?" After receiving an affirmative answer, he sat down.

"Master, I remember that in this county, didn't there be a lot of tricycles in the past?" The car didn't drive far, and Chen Changming found a topic to talk to the driver.

"As you said, it was a long time ago, this tricycle was parked indiscriminately, scurrying all over the road, there was a big accident, one dead and two injured! Since then, it has been rectified and banned by order. ”

"Oh, that's right." Chen Changming didn't expect such a reason.

"Yes, I used to pedal a tricycle, and I was next to me when the accident happened, and since then I have been vague in my heart, so I simply listened to my son's opinion, went to get a driver's license, and drove a taxi, which has been driving until today." Speaking of that accident, the driver obviously remembers it deeply.

"I haven't been back in years, and I really don't know about these things."

"Who says it's not, China is too big, and there are too many things happening every day, and it's normal for you to be out of town and not be clear."

I learned that it was a fellow who had not returned for several years, and when I got off the bus, the driver boldly wiped my odds. smiled and thanked him, and watched the taxi disappear into the traffic, before turning his head to look at the familiar alley behind him.

"It's been so many years, and it still hasn't changed much." At this moment, Chen Changming suddenly realized the mood of the person who said the phrase "closer to home, more timid".

Unconsciously walked two quick steps, stood in front of the door and stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but suddenly stopped.

Turning around, looking at Xiao Zhou, who was quiet and silent along the way, he hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Don't talk about my enlistment." ”

Seeing Xiao Zhou nodding yes, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently.

After a rush of footsteps, the door opened.

Looking at the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes of the person in front of him, the white hair on his forehead, and some vague long-term memories, he suddenly came alive.

Trying to open his somewhat blurry eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, I'm back." ”

"Son? Son! Alas, alas! Okay, good, just come back, just come back, come in, come in. Xiao Zhou, who was ignored, shrugged his shoulders and followed in with the box.

Some sat in the living room, looking at his mother, who pretended to be busy, occasionally turned his back to look at him, and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

Chen Changming had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

At that time, the relationship between Chen Changming's parents broke down, and they made a lot of trouble, and finally went to court against Bo, and then chose to form their own new families.

At that time, Chen Changming, who was a little willful, couldn't think about it for a while, so he ran away angrily until today.

After so many years in the blink of an eye, now looking at my mother's somewhat trembling back, I suddenly regret the decision from the bottom of my heart.

Just as Chen Changming was thinking about how to speak, there was a hearty laugh in the courtyard, "Yo, there are guests today?" ”

Then, a burly middle-aged man with a masculine temperament strode in.

The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Changming, then at his wife, who was a little emotional, and then suddenly became a little twisted, "You are Changming, right?" You're back, and your mother talks about you every year. After speaking, he glanced at Chen Changming's mother a little crampedly.

"This is, Uncle Zhao." looked at the mother who was a little apprehensive.

Chen Changming stood up, met his mother's nervous eyes, and stretched out his hand, "I'm Chen Changming, Uncle Zhao is good, thank you for taking care of my mother for so many years." ”

"It should be, it should be." Uncle Zhao touched the back of his head and grinned.

In an instant, the mother seemed to have removed a big matter, and even the crow's feet in the corners of her eyes were filled with joy, "Look at your virtue!" ”

"Haha, happy, happy!"

The four of them sat at the dinner table, Xiao Zhou was not a talkative person, and Chen Changming didn't know how to speak, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

At this time, Uncle Zhao took the initiative to take responsibility, chatting about his parents' shortcomings over the years, chatting about work, chatting about Chen Changming's mother, and talking about his daughter who went to college in other places.

Chen Changming listened to these words very seriously, occasionally responded, and observed Uncle Zhao by the way, and found that his attention, most of the time, was circulating around his mother, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

"It's enough to be a contented person, what's not to be satisfied with?" Chen Changming sighed in his heart.

Chatting with my mother, watching TV series, and occasionally going shopping.

Five days have passed in a blink of an eye.

Chen Changming sat in the room, with the military uniform in front of him, sat for a while, looked up at the window, the sky was already transparent, and then he began to put it on one by one.

In the living room, the mother who got up early to cook, and Uncle Zhao, who was supposed to go to work, were asking Xiao Zhou, who was dressed in military uniform.

"Xiao Zhou, are you a soldier? No wonder you usually look at your style of acting differently, so Changming has been a soldier all these years? Are you his comrade-in-arms? ”

As he was talking, he saw Chen Changming, who was dressed in military uniform, push the door out, and Xiao Zhou hurriedly walked over and took the box.

Looking at the box Xiao Zhou was carrying, his mother already had a premonition and quietly reddened her eyes.

This breakfast, the depression of eating is full of sadness.

"Mom, don't be sad, I'll come to see you next time I have a holiday." Through the hug of separation, he quietly stuffed his salary card with a note with a password into his mother's jacket pocket, "Uncle Zhao, take care of my mother." With that, he turned and strode away.

In the distance, there was his mother's irrepressible cry behind him, Chen Changming looked up at the sky, blinked vigorously, and walked for a while before he spoke, "Let's go, it's time to report." ”

A day later, somewhere.

"Second Lieutenant Chen! I am your deputy, Wang Deli. A bald-eyed man in a white coat with military boots on his feet walked over with a smile on his face. I finally waited for you to come, let's go, I'll take you to see the working environment and the comrades in the base. ”

In the distance, Colonel Wu stood behind an old man, "I heard that the second leader attaches great importance to Chen Changming?" ”

"How?" The old man turned around and looked at Colonel Wu with a smile, "Isn't this what you, the director of the Third Division, did it personally?" ”

"General Zhang said with a smile, I just want to know, why didn't you ...... it without a detailed review?" Colonel Wu explained helplessly.

"Xiao Wu." General Zhang waved his hand and stopped his next words, "Your authority is very high, you have also read the relevant information of Chen Changming, do you think that if the technologies involved above are true." ”

"Of course, it has to be drafted, and the current treatment is still a little low, but if he?"

"I understand what you mean, you are afraid that behind this Chen Changming, there is a shadow, and there are traps in those techniques, right?" General Zhang smiled and comforted, "The above also has concerns about this, so it was decided to make an exception to open this abandoned old base and let him Chen Changming personally preside over the project." ”

"Isn't that too hasty? In case ......" Colonel Wu was still a little worried.

"You focus on domestic work, some situations you don't know very well, the current international form is very complicated, do not rule out the possibility of conflict in the short term, at this time, every card must be seized, every opportunity to try!" General Zhang lowered his voice, "Moreover, even if it is a parallel import, it is just a loss of some funds, and it is not a big deal." ”

"What? Let me host? Chen Changming looked at the scientific researchers in front of him with the rank of school officer in some surprise, and nodded the rank on his shoulder, "Isn't this inappropriate?" ”

"Yes." General Zhang replied loudly as he walked over with a team of soldiers, "An inch of merit has not been achieved, and a special call order for a second lieutenant is the limit." The army, after all, is a place of merit. But! The state believes in your ability and is willing to give you this opportunity to prove yourself, as long as you succeed, I will personally ask you for credit from the Military Commission! ”

Chen Changming was silent for a while and gave a non-standard military salute.

The state's requirement is for Chen Changming to direct the construction of a small production line for superconductors at room temperature according to the information on his hard drive.

For this reason, asking people to give people, asking things to give things, all reasonable requirements will be passed, whether it is trust, whether it is rich and rich and does not care, this makes Chen Changming feel the pressure on his shoulders.

But fortunately, this is a simplified and improved version that borrows from mature technology, and there is a great chance of success.

Finally, with the efforts of many people, the production line was successfully debugged.

The first sample material was taken for inspection, then the second and third, and the results of the inspection were unexpectedly qualified.

After getting the news, the secrecy level of the base was immediately raised, and it was officially named "Project 426".

The Capital Academy of Sciences, looking at the room temperature superconducting materials sent by the 426 base, the two academicians chatted while walking, "Is there any difference with our line?" ”

"I've compared it, and the performance is the same."

"Hey, you said that this person is really good, silently, and made this kind of result, which department is it, do you know?"

"I heard that it's from the military, let me tell you, don't ask around."

"Don't worry, I know the rules of secrecy."

Somewhere, base 426.

"General, you're looking for me."

"What about that bag of papers I brought back from the capital? Go get it to me. ”

Taking the document bag, General Zhang waved his hand, "Go to the door and keep guard, don't let people disturb me." ”

"Okay general."

Seeing that the toilet door was closed, he tore off the seal, took out a school officer promotion order from the document bag, as well as the military insignia and rank of the major, and the unfolded officer ID card was impressively printed with Chen Changming's photo.

He pulled out another sheet from it, but it was ......

Glancing at it, he pulled out his lighter, watched as the papers were burned to ashes, and finally rushed into the sewers.

After washing his hands and arranging his clothes and hats in front of the mirror, he walked out with his document bag.
