Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2584: Heaven's Blessing
The next day, Yang Xiaotao came to the Ninth Department and then plunged into the research institute.

"Director Yang, this is the receiver we just made"

When he arrived at the Satellite Phone Research Institute, Shu Xingbei came over with the newly made telephone receiver, with a big smile on his face.

After continuous exploration during this period, he has found the trick in the production of integrated circuits, and his research is progressing faster and faster.

Yang Xiaotao took the receiver and looked at it carefully.

"This is much smaller than the previous one."

As she was talking, Wang Li came over with the previous parts, "Minister Yang, it's much smaller."

Yang Xiaotao took it and compared it. The original receiver was the size of a palm and very heavy.

The new one is only half the size, thinner and lighter.

"Have you tried it?"

"I tried it, and it works better than before."

Shu Xingbei explained, "The more you study, the more surprises you will find."

"I used to think integrated circuits were so mysterious, but when you really understand them, you'll see that they are just that."

“We are becoming more and more confident now.”

After hearing Shu Xingbei say this, everyone in the institute looked confident.

"It looks like you're preparing for next year's grand prize."

Yang Xiaotao said this with a smile, and Shu Xingbei and the others nodded immediately after hearing it. Xu Hua said happily, "Commander Yang, we only got a second-class merit. Compared with you, we are still far behind."

"Yes, Commander Yang, I heard that you have won many first-class merit medals."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao put down the receiver and said nonchalantly, "Not much, not much, just a slap."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and turned the palm and back of his hand in the air.

Everyone seemed to laugh, but no one doubted the truth of the statement.

I remember that a word was spread from the Ninth Department a long time ago that the Yang Department has been wanting a third-class merit for many years, but unfortunately it has never been obtained.

The reason is naturally not that Yang Xiaotao is not capable, but that the honors given are either second-class merit or first-class merit, and the third-class merit is very valuable.

It is said that this statement came from Director Yang.

"Military Yang, there are so many first-class medals of honor, which one do you like best?"

Wang Li, who was curious, asked again. Yang Xiaotao looked up and thought about it, then smiled and shook his head, "It's all right."

“But if I had to say my favorite, it would be a special medal.”

"A special medal? What does it look like?"

Everyone became interested, and Yang Xiaotao pretended to be mysterious and said, "The medal is called 'Soaring', I won't tell you the details."

Everyone looked confused when they heard the name "Tengfei", but Shu Xingbei, who had been smiling at the side, showed more respect when he heard this name.

"Bull Yang, don't worry, we will definitely get first-class merit this time."

Xu Hua waved his fist to cheer, and the fighting spirit of several young people around him was immediately aroused.

"Yes, we can do it."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at everyone, then put away his smile and said seriously, "I'm not trying to discourage you."

"We have accepted the task this time, and there are many good projects here."

"Not to mention the distant future, the biochemical research institute is about to release medicine, and the machine tool department is also researching digital machine tools. And I heard that a copy machine for the arm is also about to be released."

"If you want to come out on top, this is not enough."

The originally happy crowd suddenly became silent after hearing what Yang Xiaotao said.

Shu Xingbei said at this time, "Competition brings motivation."

"Without their comparison, the value of our work would be greatly reduced."

After hearing this, Xu Hua, Wang Li and others immediately regained their fighting spirit.

"Yes, that's the truth."

"That's right. If you can get a third-class merit in our Nine Departments, you can get a second-class merit at least if you go to other places. But the value is far less."

"Yes, we are not afraid of them."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the group of people smiling energetically at Shu Xingbei, and then the two of them walked into the office.

"Miss Yang, water or tea?"

Sitting on the chair, Teacher Shu greeted everyone warmly.

"Don't bother, just a glass of water."

Yang Xiaotao said casually, and Shu Xingbei handed two enamel pots to Yang Xiaotao.

Looking around, Yang Xiaotao said casually, "Mr. Shu, didn't our institute install air conditioners? Your office hasn't installed one yet?"

Hearing this, Shu Xingbei shook his head.

"I have had air conditioners installed in the test area. There are many people there, and a better environment will also be helpful for the experiment."

"Besides, I spend less time working here than in the lab. If I leave it here and can't use it, it's a waste."

Shu Xingbei explained with a smile.

But my heart was filled with emotion.

When he first returned to Sijiu City to come to Jiubu, all he wanted was a desk where he could study quietly.

But now, Yang Xiaotao has provided him with a stage for taking off.

Here, he received 100% respect and full support from Yang Xiaotao.

Here, he doesn't have to worry about the disturbances from the outside world and can be completely immersed in his own research.

Here, there is a group of like-minded comrades and a group of young people who are eager to work hard for the prosperity of the country.

Being with them makes me feel younger.

As for the others, even if he didn't say it, they could feel the Nine Departments' care for them.

I arrange my life well, help with my family's lives, and give my children more time for work and school.

And all of this is brought by the young people in front of us.

"Okay, since you said that, I won't go to Lao Hong."

Seeing that Shu Xingbei was sincere, and knowing that this place was connected to the outside, cool air could come in when he opened the door, Yang Xiaotao did not insist.

"Minister Yang, you just said that you received a 'Soaring' medal?"

When Shu Xingbei asked, Yang Xiaotao put down his cup and said casually, "Yes, Teacher Shu, you know that too?"

Shu Xingbei nodded, "I know, I know."

Then he showed a nostalgic look, picked up the cup and took a sip before continuing, "I have never seen 'Tengfei', I have only heard of it."

"This is a reward given by the Second Machine to those who have made special contributions."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, I got it when I went to the Northwest to help. The number of this 'Tengfei' is 009."

After hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Shu Xingbei nodded immediately. He had actually heard of the concept of numbering.

But I never heard of it again after that, after all, the mushroom eggs had already been made.

"I haven't seen 'Soar', but I have seen the silver 'Exceed' medal."

"Beyond?"

Yang Xiaotao immediately became interested because Ran's father had told him that there were two types of medals.

One is his bronze "Soaring", and the other is the silver "Transcendence".

The difference is that the "Soar" medal is only awarded to non-staff members, that is, those who help out with work.

The silver 'transcendence' is aimed at people like Ran's father.

However, even Ran's father, who made many contributions in the northwest under an assumed name, was not awarded the medal, which shows the value of this "transcendence" medal.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao also wanted to meet who was the person who could get the "Transcendence" medal.

"Mr. Shu, where have you seen him?"

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was interested, Mr. Shu sighed and said, "The descendant of an old friend."

Yang Xiaotao frowned slightly, "After an old friend? What does that mean?"

After a moment of silence, Shu Xingbei finally spoke, "The last time I left Sijiu City, I went to visit my old friend's home."

"As a result, my old friend passed away due to illness, and I saw it when his daughter was sorting out his belongings."

"When I came back this time, the house was empty."

"After asking around for a while, I heard that my old friend's daughter and her family had moved to the countryside because of her husband. Alas!"

At this point, Shu Xingbei seemed to see his past self. Yang Xiaotao frowned even more tightly.

He did not doubt Shu Xingbei's intention of saying this to him at this time, but he was more concerned about the situation of this family.

He believes that a person who has been awarded the 'Above and Beyond' medal, a person who has made great contributions, and his family should not be treated like this.

At the very least, he needs to understand.

"Mr. Shu, what is the situation of this family? Do you know?"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, Shu Xingbei's face was a little embarrassed, but that was just how he was, with a straightforward personality, so he immediately said, "Director Yang, I didn't participate in that earth-shattering event, and it has always been a knot in my heart that I can never untie. I regret it."

"So, regarding this matter between old friends, I admit that I have selfish motives."

“I really can’t bear to see my old friends’ children go through the same path I went through.”

After saying this, he covered his face with his hands.

"Mr. Shu, we have known each other for a long time. If you don't understand me, then there is no need for us to talk about it."

Yang Xiaotao interrupted Shu Xingbei's explanation and spoke seriously.

Shu Xingbei looked at Yang Xiaotao's natural expression, took a deep breath, and then said, "My old friend is Fang Ziqiang. His daughter Fang Hanmei married a teacher at Wudaokou School named Lu Tao. They have two children."

Shu Xingbei explained the situation to Yang Xiaotao, who kept it in mind and decided to find someone to investigate it when he returned.

"Mr. Shu, I have something else to say this time."

Putting the matter aside, Yang Xiaotao started talking about business.

Shu Xingbei also calmed down and sat aside to listen carefully, "You go ahead."

"It's like this. The lunar exploration program has officially started. I haven't made any specific plans yet. I want you to work with the comrades from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to come up with a plan."

"I will tell Director Wang about this matter, and Old Han also needs to come up with a plan. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

After listening to Yang Xiaotao, Shu Xingbei immediately said that there was no problem.

After explaining some matters concerning the communications satellite, Yang Xiaotao left the institute.

After returning to the office, Yang Xiaotao thought about it again and again and decided to investigate.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone and dialed, "Hello, is this the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building? I want to talk to Director Ran Zhiqiang."

"Who? Yang Xiaotao from the Ninth Division."

After saying that, after a while, Ran's father's voice was heard from the other side.

"Dad, I have something I want to ask you."

Yang Xiaotao could tell that Ran's father was very busy, so he spoke directly. Ran's father responded and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Dad, when you were making mushroom eggs in the northwest, did you know a man named Fang Ziqiang?"

"Who?"

"Fang Ziqiang!"

After a moment of silence, Father Ran spoke again, "I know this person, what's the matter?"

"Well, it's okay. This person is enough."

Yang Xiaotao was not in a position to say much on the phone. Since this person existed, what Shu Xingbei said was probably true.

"Okay, let's talk later. I'm busy now."

Father Ran knew that Yang Xiaotao was not the kind of person who would meddle in other people's business, so since he said it was nothing, he just ignored him.

He is currently leading the research on rockets and how to reach the second cosmic speed.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then picked up a pen and paper and simply wrote down Fang Ziqiang's message.

After everything was settled, he picked up the phone and soon Chen Mingli walked in.

"Old Chen, please sit down."

"Miss Yang, what do you want from me?"

The two men sat down, and Chen Mingli asked directly without any hesitation.

The last incident with the Internal Affairs Department has been bothering him, and these days he has been planning how to improve the "business" capabilities of the Security Department.

When it comes to head-on combat, there's no doubt about that.

The current strength of the Security Department is that even if it is sent to the battlefield, it is considered the elite among the elite.

But when it comes to follow-up investigations, these idiots are far behind, as they have no training in this area at all.

It is also a good opportunity to take advantage of this lesson to make up for this shortcoming.

"Old Chen, there is something I need your help to investigate."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao handed the materials he had written to Lao Chen.

"I need detailed information about the three people above, quickly."

Chen Mingli looked at the three names and the simple information behind them and frowned slightly, "This is a bit too little information."

"Is it difficult? How about I look for Lao Yu?"

Yang Xiaotao asked tentatively, and Chen Mingli immediately shook his head when he heard it, "No, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up with the information.

Yang Xiaotao sent the person out and then returned to his desk to deal with some business.

The next day, Chen Mingli kept his promise.

Yang Xiaotao had just been working in the office for a while when he saw Chen Mingli walk in and put a report on the table.

"Director Yang, here are the information of three people."

"However, there is not much information about Comrade Fang Ziqiang, but there is a lot of information about his daughter and son-in-law. Please take a look. If there is no problem, I will be busy first."

Yang Xiaotao picked up the information and said, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy."

Then I flipped through it.

Yang Xiaotao was mentally prepared for the fact that there was not much information about Fang Ziqiang.

After reading the information from Mr. Ziqiang below, he found that it was almost the same as what Shu Xingbei said. He then turned his attention to his daughter Fang Hanmei and son-in-law Lu Tao.

There is a lot of information this time and it is very comprehensive.

From basic personal information to life trajectory, and finally to current living conditions.

After seeing Lu Tao's family background, Yang Xiaotao understood why Shu Xingbei said that, because the other party came from a wealthy family, it would be easy for him to get into trouble if he didn't have the protection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As he continued to watch, Yang Xiaotao's expression suddenly changed.

It was discovered in Lu Tao's resume that he had participated in the research of the first CNC machine tool in China and was also a technical researcher.

Looking at the information about the X53K1 CNC machine tool, Yang Xiaotao rubbed his brows unconsciously.

Coincidence, what a coincidence.

He just said that he wanted to research CNC machine tools and asked Chang Mingjie to go to Wudaokou College to find the person from that year, but within two days, he showed up at his doorstep.

It made him feel as if there was someone controlling everything.

Push this all forward.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao subconsciously raised his head and looked around his seat.

Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue were both curious when they saw Yang Xiaotao's action.

"Miss Yang, do you need anything?"

Liu Lixue stood up and asked.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head quickly, "It's okay, it's okay, just stretch your neck."

After saying that, he muttered to himself again.

Could this be the legendary “When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together”?
There is no way not to make progress!
As expected, China today is blessed by heaven!

Yang Xiaotao doesn't think that all this is his fault.

He is not that confident yet, and he doesn't think he has such great abilities.

He is just a door opener!
But even if it's the person who opens the door, not everyone can do that!

I felt a little proud in my heart and continued to look through the information.

Liu Lixue sat down, then looked at Lou Xiaoe, and the two continued to work.

"what?"

But the next second, they heard Yang Xiaotao's surprised voice, and they both looked over quickly.

Then I noticed that Yang Xiaotao's brows were tightly furrowed.

Because the last residence Yang Xiaotao saw was a familiar name.

Caojiagou!
