"Don't worry, Director Wei, I'm in good health and can get back to work at any time." Du Yimeng said in a firm tone. She is the chief engineer. When the country needs her, she must stand up without hesitation. This is her responsibility.

"Very good! Here is the document, take a look first!" Director Wei first looked at Du Yimeng with admiration, and then handed her a document.

Du Yimeng immediately took it with both hands, and then she looked at the contents of the document.

Although the Type 64 main battle tank is innovative, its reliability is relatively poor, while the Type 65 main battle tank has weak protection and is intended for export.

They are required to combine the advantages of both and design a new, more reliable and more advanced main battle tank on this basis, so that their main battle tanks can continue to maintain their position in the world tank and armored vehicle field.

They were given two years, not only to design it, but also to complete the testing and put it into production directly after two years.

"Xiao Du, I also know that this task is very difficult, but other countries will not give us enough time to prepare." Director Wei sighed deeply and said helplessly. Exporting the developed Type 65 tank as a local specialty is a huge risk.

If they fail to design more advanced tanks, their national defense will be in danger.

But they have no choice, because only by offering better local specialties can they sell them at a better price.

To put it bluntly, it's all because of poverty. The country needs money. Researching weapons requires money, equipping the troops with weapons also requires money. Money is needed everywhere.

If they only have ordinary things, how can they compete with other countries?

The situation forced them to do so, so the pressure now fell on the research institute.

"Don't worry, Director Wei, I will complete the task!" Du Yimeng put down the documents in his hand, stood up immediately and replied in a firm tone.

Director Song, who was standing by, also quickly stood up and followed closely.

Du Yimeng knew that Director Wei was speaking to her in a negotiating tone, but she knew that they were soldiers and that obeying orders was their duty.

The moment she said "I guarantee to complete the mission", it was equivalent to her issuing a military order.

"Okay! All resources will be allocated to the research institute. Just report whatever you need." Director Wei first looked at Du Yimeng with appreciation. The chief engineer he promoted did not disappoint him. She could withstand the pressure. Then he said to Director Song.

Since Xiao Du could handle the pressure, he could handle it too. As long as everyone was united, even the most daunting task would be a mere paper tiger.

At this moment, he was full of passion and he felt that even ten more people would not be able to beat him in an argument.

"Yes, Director Wei!" Director Song was so excited that he almost laughed out loud. He had been waiting for Director Wei to say this. No matter how difficult the task, they were not afraid. What they feared was a lack of resources.

He would definitely brag about it to Lao Liu later. During the Chinese New Year, if his meat wasn't so bad, Lao Liu would have eaten him alive.

If you ask him, he has endured so many years of hardship, does he still care about this year?

But Old Liu just refused to give in!

Du Yimeng and Director Song quickly came out of Director Wei's office, but when Secretary Jiang was seeing them off, he stopped Du Yimeng.

"Chief Engineer Du, I heard that there is a young soldier named Du Yixi on the front line. He fought very bravely and made great contributions." Secretary Jiang said to Du Yimeng with a smile.

Du Yimeng was stunned, then her face was filled with joy. As long as the fourth brother was alive, she felt a little sore in her eyes. Fighting bravely was like being fearless.

The fourth child has the lowest sense of presence among the five siblings. He is not as sensible as the third child, but he also does not like to get into trouble like the fifth child.

But he has a pure heart and a determination to serve his country.

Director Song on the side looked at Secretary Jiang in shock. Isn't Du Yixi Du Yimeng's younger brother?

Of the five siblings in the Du family, two have joined confidential units and one is on the front line. How worried must the Du family's parents be about them every day?

"Thank you, Secretary Jiang, and thank Director Wei on my behalf." Du Yimeng calmed down and thanked him sincerely. The battle situation on the front line could not be transmitted to the rear at will.

However, Director Wei still told Secretary Jiang the good news.

Secretary Jiang nodded, but said nothing more. When Director Wei asked him to convey the message, he guessed that Du Yimeng would definitely guess that it was Director Wei who gave the order.

"Director Wei said there's nothing delicious in the cafeteria today, so he won't keep lunch for you two." Secretary Jiang said this and turned back.

This was not an excuse for Director Wei to refuse, but there was really nothing delicious in the cafeteria. He only had cabbage and potatoes every day, which made his face turn white.

But there is no way. The country needs money now, and each unit can only save as much as possible from the gaps between teeth and get through the current difficult period first.

Their slogan is that there will be eggs and there will be pork too.

"Xiao Du, those who fight bravely can better cope with the pressure and danger on the battlefield. They are also more decisive and brave when executing tactics." Director Song carefully considered his words and comforted him.

This was originally good news, but if she thought too much about it, it would become bad news.

"Thank you, Dean Song, for your concern! I know that on the battlefield, soldiers with high morale can better deal with various situations in battle." At this time, Du Yimeng's mood had returned to normal, and she also knew that Director Song was comforting him.

She had once heard Yu Hongru and the fourth and fifth brothers talk about the art of survival on the battlefield: those who were not afraid of death were more likely to survive, while those who were afraid of death were more likely to die faster.

Both of her brothers did it!

"I had planned to have a meal at the Science and Technology Commission today, but unfortunately I had to leave on an empty stomach. Fortunately, I've gotten used to it over the years." Director Song saw that Du Yimeng looked normal and immediately changed the subject.

"So no matter when you want to eat for free, you have to rely on your strength!" Du Yimeng also said with emotion.

"Then let's try to finish the task as soon as possible, and then we can have a good meal." Director Song said with a smile. What he cared about was not a meal, but completing the task within the specified time.

The two of them left the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense while chatting and laughing. As soon as they got into the car, Director Song opened his briefcase and handed a bag of snacks to Du Yimeng.

"Dean Song?" Du Yimeng asked in surprise. She had noticed his briefcase was bulging when she arrived. He had been very cautious along the way, as she had assumed it contained something important.

What it turned out to be was a bag of snacks, and what she didn't expect was that it was prepared for her.

"Your aunt made this. Eat some to fill your stomach. Food outside is not safe." Director Song explained. He was afraid that Du Yimeng would feel embarrassed to accept it, so he handed it forward again.
