A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

£10?

Ha, I've already seen through your air fryer, so why would I need to buy your blueprints?

Junichiro had just put on a contemptuous smile, but then he thought, "This is an opportunity!"

An opportunity to plant stakes!

"Little friend, that's too expensive! But, if you~~"

"8 million!"

Jiang Xiajun's face scrunched up as he spoke urgently.

"Ha, little kid, you know nothing about your country's policies. Even if I gave you this money, would you be able to get your hands on it?"

Wow, this little notebook really shows he's a China expert.

"Yes, that makes sense. In that case, please replace them all with transistors!"

What are you going to do with the transistor?

Jiang Xia raised his eyebrows smugly: "Making radios, huh? Let me tell you, these radios sell for a lot of money! That way we can circumvent regulations, right?"

Junichiro chuckled. He had to admit that the kid was somewhat clever, though not much.

“Alright, kid. Here, I’ll give you a check for £2 as a token of my friendship! You know, we Australians are always friendly to our friends.”

"I'll convert the rest into transistors for you, so you can slowly assemble the radio."

As he spoke, Junichiro pulled out his checkbook and casually scribbled a few lines.

"Slowly, you'll discover that there are ways to make money much faster than assembling radios, way much faster!"

Jiang Xia handed over the blueprints and reached out to grab the check.

Hey, this little notebook has pretty strong grip.

"Little friend, where do you live?"

"Oh, No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, I have a house in that courtyard house!"

"Yoshi! Give me the jade!"

"Hey, didn't I tell you that guy is still eating sand? You have to believe me!" Jiang Xia shouted.

Then he immediately whispered, "Don't you need to take photos for the handover ceremony? Don't worry, we'll arrange for you to take them. If the higher-ups ask me for these, and I can't produce them, then it'll be cleared up, right?"

Junichiro's cheek twitched nervously again.

"Little friend, be careful!"

"I'll send someone to find you!"

Jiang Xia flashed eight teeth, "Deal!"

After taking the check, Jiang Xia patted his behind and left.

Liu Ye followed him from a distance, taking a long detour before the two reunited.

Jiang Xia casually tossed the check over, "Hey, Little Notebook also promised to give me a batch of transistors, so don't withhold them, I need them!"

Liu Ye flicked the check: "You really want to use it to install a radio? Why bother? I'll go find a way to give it to my grandma."

"Pshaw, of course it's incredibly useful. I can't explain it to you, it's high-tech, it'll blow your mind!"

Looking at the radiant Jiang Xia, Liu Ye chuckled: "Even in the most high-end places, it's not as high-end as your dad's!"

Jiangxia's flat mouth is naturally inferior.

However, it's true that this thing of mine can get my dad home sooner.

Hmm, maybe?

"Hey, do you think Old Wang will see my dad when he goes to deliver goods? We should ask him to take a letter; Grandma really wants to see him~~~"

When I think of that person from my memory, their face is already a bit blurry.

Jiang Xia added in her mind, "I actually really want to too."

Liu Ye remained silent.

"Hey, you know what? There seems to be a kind of leopard in the Tianshan Mountains, all white. I wonder if Old Wang could bring one back to play with."

Jiang Xia chuckled as he recalled the snow leopard's mesmerizing cry.

"Opening greetings, may evil be vanquished and peace prevail year after year!"

Liu Ye didn't know what Jiang Xia was laughing about, so he chuckled awkwardly twice. Seeing that Jiang Xia's eyes were a little red, he rubbed his head.

"Actually, there's quite a lot of Cistanche deserticola in the Tianshan Mountains..."

Can't we just have a normal conversation?

……

So, what was Old Wang doing that the two of them were discussing?

Well, Old Wang just crawled out of the gas tank, which was tumbling upside down.

Rewind to two hours earlier, when Jiang Xia was waiting for the notebook.

At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Liu Chuang, as the lead vehicle, carefully made his way along the rugged mountain road, while the five trucks, spaced ten meters apart, moved slowly forward.

Calling it a road is an overstatement.

Ahead was a sharp turn. Liu Chuang lightly applied the brakes and simultaneously turned the steering wheel, allowing the car to make a wide turn under his control.

"We'll be at the supply depot in about ten miles. Old Wang, you really didn't spoil that kid for nothing. This system is amazing!"

"Hey, what's it called again?"

"A rack and pinion mechanical hydraulic power assist system," Wang Kui said, enduring the dizziness caused by lack of oxygen, as he tugged at the rope tied in front of him.

Liu Chuang watched Wang Kui's actions and chuckled a few times.

"This kid has taken a perfectly good shoulder bag strap and tied it around his neck. It must be uncomfortable. He should just take it off like I did!"

"Fine, I already promised that kid. I'll have him fix it when we get back; it's a bit too high, almost like it could cut your throat!"

"Hehe, that's you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a strange noise came from ahead.

Boom! Lala!

As loose rocks rolled down the hillside ahead, Wang Kui's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

"Landslide! Sound the horn! Back up!"

"We can't retreat! The area behind us is collapsing too!" Liu Chuang quickly glanced at the rearview mirror.

"Go on the gas! Charge!"

Liu Chuang stepped on the gas, and the truck's rear wheels left two tracks on the gravel ground before it sped off.

Gritting my teeth, I rushed through the rockfall area, and the path meandered down to the foot of the mountain.

"We made it! We made it through!"

Wang Kui breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he straightened up, a huge rock rolled down the mountain and smashed the winding path.

"Gan!"

The path collapsed rapidly, and Liu Chuang had barely uttered a single curse when the wheels of his car involuntarily slid down the path.

"Old Wang, hold on tight!"

Liu Chuang slammed on the brakes, and the truck's rear wheels plowed two deep tracks into the hillside, sending the truck hurtling towards the foot of the mountain.

The two men were propelled forward by the immense inertia, but unlike the others, Wang Kui was immediately pulled back by the seatbelt and leaned against his seat.

Liu Chuang crashed headfirst into the windshield, his body thrown outwards by the momentum.

Fortunately, Wang Kui reacted quickly, grabbed his leg, and forcefully pulled him back.

He held Liu Chuang tightly in front of him.

The GAZ truck bounced and tumbled headfirst into the ice on the riverbank.

Smoke rose.

Wang Kui painstakingly cut the seatbelt and dragged Liu Chuang out of the truck.

Then, we watched as the GAZ truck, bubbling and rumbling, was swallowed by the bottomless glacier.

Behind me, I heard my teammates calling out urgently.

At that moment, his thought was, "What a waste of what that brat worked overtime to make."

……

Tianshan Military Station.

On a pile of stones, dried cow dung was burning laboriously.

On top of the stone, a pressure cooker was hissing and steaming.

Liu Chuang's head was wrapped up like an Indian's as he greedily inhaled the aroma of meat emanating from the steam rising from the pot.

The pot next to it had already been opened.

The head cook, speaking with a Sichuan accent, shouted at the top of his lungs, "The rice is ready! The fragrant rice is ready!"

A soldier pursed his slightly bluish lips: "Old squad leader, you always say it's cooked through, but it's still undercooked after one bite."

"Damn it, you don't even believe the squad leader anymore!"

"Then tell me, son!"

"Erhu!"
