A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

"Another installation and machining center?"

Jiang Xia gnawed on a piece of meat, staring at the sheepish factory director, Big Bear.

"Not only that." Factory Director Xiong scratched his head. "I learned that pulse method from you, but it's not quite working smoothly for me. Our people sent you a letter earlier, but we haven't received a reply yet. So we submitted a report to the higher-ups, thinking of going to the steel rolling mill for another two days of training."

"I didn't expect the higher-ups to send you here directly, hehe."

Jiang Xia was speechless. Even if they were coming, they should at least have given us a heads-up. This was acting like bandits trying to kidnap someone. He hadn't received the letter, and it wasn't that he was being arrogant and ignoring it; he was away on a business trip, wasn't he?

Just for this, you moved yourself to Northeast China?

Jiang Xia was a little angry.

However, seeing the bearded man walk in through the door, Jiang Xia suppressed his thoughts of finding someone to settle scores with.

We can't afford to mess with them, we can't afford to mess with them, they're the kind of people who can chop you down to the Southern Heavenly Gate with two kitchen knives.

"You little comrade, you really are elusive. You finally managed to pull off a clever trick, but you ended up getting yourself into big trouble first!"

As he spoke, he took a deep drag on his pipe and said to Xiong Da, "You go out first, I have something to say to the young comrade!"

Seeing this, Wang Kui stood up, saluted, and followed Xiong Da outside. Before leaving, he carried the large bag of maps on his back again.

This was written with great effort by my son, so I can't let it out of my sight.

"Hey kid, did you hide something amazing at home?" With no one else in the small room, He Hu Zi asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jiang Xia's heart skipped a beat: "Hey, could it be that Jiang Qiu really finished inputting the BIOS?"

Hello, China?

"Haha, that's right! It's this one. Old Nie gave me a good scolding on the phone, saying that I delayed your important matter! And even more so, I delayed the important matter of the Second Ministry of Machine Building."

"I don't really understand how important that chicken is, but I think what I have in my hands is quite important too!"

"Huh? Wasn't I brought here to install a machining center?" Jiang Xia, who was imagining what a transistor computer would look like, was taken aback.

"Hey~" He Hu Zi waved his hand: "To me, it's not as important as what I'm about to say!"

As he spoke, he stood up, turned around twice, and was about to speak when there was a rapid knocking at the door.

"report!"

"Hey, it's probably Old Nie coming to urge us again! Come in!"

"Old He!" The visitor pushed open the door and quickly glanced at Jiang Xia.

"We've received a total of nine phone calls from six different departments during this period, all urging us to return this comrade to his rightful owner as soon as possible!"

"Well, six departments! Kid, you've got some serious influence!"

He Hu Zi was coughing from the smoke as he listened to so many departments.

"Kid, come with me! Take a look at that thing before you decide!"

As she spoke, she took the mink coat from the man and put it on Jiang Xia, then pulled him towards the building exit. As they passed the man, she said:

"Keep it up! Tell them that the decision should be made by our younger comrades themselves!"

After saying that, he turned and left, taking two steps at a time on the stairs.

"Boss~~ Boss~~"

The man who arrived was sobbing: "I can't hold on anymore, Boss! Forget the Second Ministry of Machine Building, even the lakes are..."

"You have to keep going even if you can't handle it! If it doesn't work, I'll transfer you to sweep the streets!"

Old Wang looked at the man with pity, tightened his backpack, and jogged after Jiang Xia.

The road isn't far; it's just around the corner.

However, the turn was a bit too sharp, and it went straight underground.

"This is still the old arsenal of the Japanese, just make do with it for now. Come on, quicken your pace, it's just ahead!"

He Hu Zi remained as straightforward as ever, without uttering any unnecessary words along the way.

After turning a corner, he came to a small room, where a three-meter-long object on a wooden table caught Jiang Xia's eye.

This thing is somewhat similar to the one on the desert test track, only it's dozens of times smaller.

The black warhead has four triangular stabilizing fins, and the white-painted tail has four small trapezoidal wings.

How did this thing get here?

Jiang Xia, doubting that he had seen correctly, unfolded the scanner.

Name: Bald Eagle AIM-9B, Sidewinder air-to-air missile.

Guidance method: Active infrared guidance system

Range: Within 5 kilometers

Purpose: Short-range infrared-guided air-to-air missile

At the same time, a red box popped up, and Jiang Xia prepared to check the details of the missile, only to find that the red box displayed: Scanner damaged, under repair...

Damn, bro, when did you break down? You should have given me a heads-up.

"Two days later~~ After that, please be careful to avoid external impacts!"

"External impact?" Jiang Xia touched his neck and looked suspiciously at Old Wang following behind him.

……

"Good! See? I called you over here for this!" He Hu Zi was very satisfied with Jiang Xia's dazed state.

"Old He? Wasn't this thing handed over to the Alliance back in '59?" Wang Kui suddenly asked, circling the wooden platform twice.

"Yeah! They handed over the two that fell apart, but they even dug one out of the beach that was still intact!"

As he spoke, He Huzi looked at Jiang Xia and grinned like a wolf in sheep's clothing: "So, little brat, are you interested?"

Yes, absolutely!

As I said before, what man can resist the temptation of a big bombshell?

Eh, that's not right.

"Professor He? I'm just an engineer, mainly mechanical. Shouldn't this kind of thing be left to the geniuses at Harbin Institute of Technology?"

"Hand it over my ass! Damn it, I don't know who leaked the news, it makes me so angry!"

As he spoke, Old He slammed his pipe heavily onto the wooden table again.

"Ten days!"

"Can you dismantle it and draw up the blueprints in ten days?"

"In ten days, this guy will be moving over there... You won't have the chance to draw him anymore!"

Old He looked at Jiang Xia with hope in his eyes. As if unwilling to hear the word "cannot" from Jiang Xia, he nervously put the pipe back into his mouth.

Jiang Xia estimated the scanner's repair time: ten days? That should be more than enough. If necessary, he could just work on it some more. Anyway, there are plenty of spores in Northeast China, so it should be manageable.

"Mission accomplished!"

Hearing Jiang Xia say this, Old He's beard bristled: "Hahaha, as expected of my brother's son, he's so reliable!"

"Don't blame me for making things difficult for you, but besides you, I really have no one else to do this!"

It turns out that this intact missile was discovered earlier this year by an elderly farmer while fishing in the mudflats. Unlike the previous two, its guidance head was intact.

The Ministry of Defense had originally gathered personnel to secretly study the matter in Northeast China, but somehow the news leaked out.

You know about the Sidewinder missile incident, right? Back then, the alliance went to great lengths, putting pressure on them and even cutting off the supply of P-12 ballistic missile blueprints, to finally get those two Sidewinder missiles that didn't explode but were broken into several pieces.

Now they know there are things in perfect condition, how amazing is that?

The Ministry of Defense is in a bind; they can't refuse to give it, but they're unwilling to give it.

Let's organize a surveying team, damn it, there's not a single good one left. After all, all of China's elites have gone to the Northwest and the foot of the Tianshan Mountains; there's simply no one left to use.

Or perhaps, some people are afraid to use them.

However, the sudden appearance of the naive boy made Old He sigh that a beautiful girl had fallen from the sky.

"Haha, I was just thinking of having you help Xiong Huoyan and his team install the machining center, but it was Lao Nie who called to remind me. I didn't expect you to be so good at electronics!"

"These bullets have a lot of electronic technology in them! If other people were to handle them, it would take a whole bunch of people, which isn't safe! You're the one to handle them, kid, one person is enough!"

Jiang Xia grinned. "You think too highly of me, old lady. You can do this all by yourself?"

Do you think I have a cheat code?

Uh!

There really is!
