Yenching, Huaqing University.

In the office of the dean of the Department of Mechanical and Engineering, as you can see from the half-torn calendars on the wall, today is May 16, 82.

"Haha, Wang Ye, where have you finally decided to go?"

"Tell me, are you going to stay and continue your PhD? Or are you ready to go to the ministry? I also reserve your publicly-funded study abroad quota for you, are you going to apply to MIT or Stanford? ”

"Or are you going to work for a foreign company?"

"I said that I heard that the domestic branches of Siemens, Krupp, and Panasonic have offered you a lot of conditions, and it is still different to engage in scientific research and production, and it is not bad to go to the enterprise to exercise and exercise."

In the office, I saw a kind old man sitting behind the desk, holding an enamel tea jar and saying with a smile, this is Sun Canghai, the dean of the Huaqing Mechanical Engineering Department, the top expert in the field of mechanical engineering and mechatronics in Huaxia.

On the opposite side was a tall and handsome young man, wearing a white shirt that was so old that it was slightly yellowed, but it was clean, with some sleeves rolled up and a pair of turquoise trousers, and the whole person looked neat and neat.

"Neither, teacher."

"I made a report to the National Reform Office of Small and Medium-sized Military Industrial Units of the Fifth Machinery Department."

"Apply to become the director of the Red Star Machinery Factory in Luqi Province."

When Dean Sun Canghai heard the five words "Red Star Machinery Factory", the happy expression on his face instantly froze, and then changed from joy to astonishment, and from astonishment to anger, and directly slapped the table and shouted:

"Nonsense! Play the piano around! ”

"I said, Wang Ye, are you crazy?"

"Red Star Machinery Factory? The Red Star Machinery Factory, which ranks first from the bottom in more than 200 small and medium-sized military industrial units in the country? ”

"What do you think is a good place to be? I'm telling you! That's a pit that hasn't been dug for 20 years, it's all! Others avoid it, only you take the initiative to post it! ”

"Do you still take the initiative to ask for help? What kind of hero do you think you are? Everyone else looks at it as a big fool! Wait to see your jokes! ”

"No, absolutely not! I disagree! ”

"Zhou Liejin, I'm not done with him, how dare he cheat my students like this? I'm going to go to him right now and tell him about it, I want to see what he thinks, how he's a deputy minister! ”

"Let a high-achieving student who graduated from Huaqing University go to a half-dead military factory to be the director of a half-dead military factory?"

"This is a huge waste of talent!"

"It's ridiculous!"

In the face of his teacher's roar, Wang Ye lowered his head and was silent, and finally waited until Dean Sun Canghai, who was sitting there, was tired of scolding, Wang Ye raised his head and said with a smile:

"Teacher, I've already decided, don't persuade me."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Sun Canghai, who was sitting there, sighed helplessly.

For this student of his own, Sun Canghai can be said to be 10,000 satisfied, as the first batch of candidates after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Wang Ye's knowledge is extremely solid, and it only took five years to complete all his undergraduate and graduate studies.

During this period, he showed strong learning ability and scientific research talent, participated in a number of national-level military projects, and at the same time was flexible and not pedantic, practical and reliable, he originally cultivated Wang Ye as a closed disciple, but he didn't expect it to be such an ending in the end!

It is precisely because of this that Sun Canghai also knows very well that geniuses are proud, they have their own temperament and persistence, and it is difficult to change the idea of decision.

"Reason, I need a reason."

"If you can convince me, I'll sign your appointment and let you go, or you can ask the principal to sign it!"

In the end, Dean Sun Canghai took a sip of the enamel jar, looked into Wang Ye's eyes and said, under the dean's oppressive and sharp gaze, Wang Ye actually smiled and said:

"Teacher, you agree with the fact that the military factory needs to be reformed.

"Since reform is needed, then this matter needs to be done by someone, and since it must be done by someone, why can't this person be me?"

"And I'm confident that I can do it better than everyone else!"

As soon as these words came out, Dean Sun Canghai, who was sitting there, was directly laughed at angrily, looked at Wang Ye and sneered and said:

"Anyway, you have faith!"

"Anyway, you are already a king and a strong heart, so it must be useless for me to persuade you."

"Since you must do it, go for it!"

"But remember, no matter what the final result is, Huaqing will always welcome you back, this will always be your home, failure is not shameful, and failure is shameful."

"I guess you've already got the assignment, right? Take it, I'll sign and stamp it. ”

With the old dean's words, Wang Ye, who was standing there, breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took out a blank piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over, only to see the old dean take it and write a few words, then stamp it and fold it and hand it to Wang Ye, and finally waved his hand as if impatiently and said:

"Hurry up, I'm afraid I'll regret it later!"

Picking up the appointment order signed and stamped on behalf of Huaqing University, Wang Ye bowed seriously and said:

"Thanks to the teacher for cultivating me for many years, I'm leaving!"

After that, he left the office without looking back, and the moment the office door closed, Wang Ye outside the door was already in tears!

It is said that fate makes people, Wang Ye never thought that he was already over the age of old at that time, and he would be able to cross the barrier of time and return to this era of his most haunting dreams from time and space fifty years later!

In the past time and space, Wang Ye entered the Ministry of Ordnance Industry renamed by the Fifth Machine Department after graduation, and then the Ministry of Ordnance Industry was abolished in 86, Wang Ye entered the Ministry of Aerospace Industry, and finally became the chief engineer of the "Nantianmen" plan for more than 30 years.

And in this life, Wang Ye made a completely different choice than before.

Because Wang Ye, who has experienced this era, knows very well that in the next 20 years or so, the country will develop at a high speed in a vigorous and barbaric way until it completely takes off, moving towards the prosperity and prosperity that countless people yearn for for a hundred years, and realize the rejuvenation of China that generations have been searching for.

But such a high-speed development comes at a price!

Domestically.

Because of the existence of the dual-track economic system, the market is extremely chaotic, and problems such as the loss of state-owned assets, the purchase of state-owned assets, the exchange of the market for technology, and the exaggeration and even falsification of technological achievements have occurred frequently and have been repeatedly prohibited.

Under the influence of these factors, even after 40 years, Huaxia is still weak in the field of high-end manufacturing, and many high-end manufacturing fields such as precision machine tools, microelectronic chips, and aero engines are still subject to others!

Internationally.

Although in recent years the United States and the Soviet Union have basically reached a consensus on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and on the refrain from a nuclear war as much as possible, the world seems to have fallen into a brief period of peace and stability.

But from the point of view of a bystander of history, this is not the case!

Because the United States has already started the Star Wars program, aiming at the weak economy of the Soviet Union, and is ready to use the way of arms and space race to drag down this sworn enemy more "peacefully".

At the same time, the United States, with its fleet across the four oceans and countless military bases on six continents, has vigorously promoted the dollar-oil economic system, trying to reap global wealth for its own use while oppressing the Soviet economy, and build a new world economic order.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union, although its economy is empty and its people's livelihood is poor, its military is still extremely powerful, millions of steel torrents are on standby, countless intercontinental nuclear weapons are ready to launch, and it has never backed down from-for-tat confrontation with the United States on a global scale.

So on a global scale.

The two hegemons, the United States and the Soviet Union, are constantly staking their ground, openly or covertly supporting all kinds of agents and puppet governments, and all kinds of open and covert struggles have never ceased, and countless wars have been ignited and extinguished, but they have never stopped.

As for Huaxia, it took advantage of the relatively stable international situation to concentrate on economic development, and only sought defense in the military, and even came up with the saying that it was better to build rockets than to sell tea eggs, and countless scientists, engineers, and senior technicians in the military industrial system changed careers!

It's just that no one guesses.

Nine years later, the incomparably powerful hegemon, the former big brother, and one of the two poles of the world, the Soviet Union, will collapse on an ordinary night, accompanied by the Kremlin's falling flag!

Then Huaxia and the other four small countries suddenly became outliers on the planet, and as the largest of the five countries, they had to face the crazy economic sanctions and blows of Western countries led by the United States, as well as military threats and intimidation.

It can even be said that if there is no "assistance" from the desert areas around the new century, which greatly delays the pace of Millican, everything is unknown!

It was also at that time that everyone deeply understood how correct the words of the instructor were, and that the barrel of the gun was the most important thing.

It is a pity that in the 80s and 90s, during the nearly 20 years of the 80s, under the mode of developing the economy as the core, military spending was seriously insufficient, resulting in the discontinuation of countless military projects and the stagnation of military technology.

Weapons are less hated when they are used!

Thinking of this, Wang Ye, who raised his head, showed a smile on his face, and after wiping away his tears, his eyes became resolute again.

"I don't know about my little stick."

"Can you leverage this era full of opportunities and challenges?"

And this is also the fundamental reason why Wang Ye took the initiative to apply to be the director of Hongxing Machinery Factory.

After all, the country's development tide is mighty, and it will not be diverted by his own willpower, and from the past history, it cannot be said that there is a problem with China's development mode with economic construction as the core, so it is meaningless for Wang Ye to stay in Yanjing.

And for those who have memories of the past and who have mastered technology beyond this era, time and freedom are the most important things!

Thinking of this, Wang Ye opened the order in his hand, and saw the old dean's handwriting in the blank space:

"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning, and we will encourage you!"

At that moment, Wang Ye no longer had any doubts in his heart, only the excitement and yearning that he was about to devote himself to a great cause, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily and left the corridor.
