A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

After reading the newspaper, Secretary Liu had almost finished writing his application, and the two of them were smoking cigarettes with great gusto.

"Do you want to take a look? If not, I'll go straight to the hospital. Both factory managers are in the wards, I can see them all at once..." Xiao Liu flicked his pen, then casually put the nib in his mouth. In the dead of winter, the ink was really hard to come out.

"Cough cough cough~~"

"Yang Youning's hospitalization was preceded by warning signs, so I'm not surprised at all. But why did Li Huaide also end up in the hospital?"

Jiang Xia waved his hand, indicating that he was not interested in the document.

"Uh, Deputy Factory Director Li's hospitalization must be due to Factory Director Yang's fault, right?"

"However, to be precise, the cause still lies with your place..."

Secretary Liu flicked his cigarette ash and looked at his peer with great interest: "Brother, people say one peach can kill three warriors. You might not be quite there, but you still managed to get two factory directors into the hospital. I'm truly impressed!"

"Huh? Am I that good?"

"Wow, that's incredibly impressive. That engine you shoved into the Yellow River card must be something special, right?"

After speaking loudly, Secretary Liu stood up and closed the office door.

Hmm? That's weird.

"That's right, it's a V8, otherwise it wouldn't be able to move that whole set of equipment, right? What's wrong, is there something wrong with this new engine?"

That shouldn't be the case. The scanner showed green at the time. Could it be that the tank exploded because it was too cold?

Impossible, absolutely impossible. I used new alloy steel. There were no problems with the 500-ton free forging made with this material.

If a real problem arises, wouldn't the original design drawings need to be drastically altered?

It's important to know that Jiang Xia has many other uses for this modified vehicle, not just for cargo transport. The reason it's currently disguised as a Yellow River truck is actually to test the durability of the new chassis.

"Yes! Something's wrong, and it's a big problem! You even modified the frame, didn't you? You just put a Yellow River truck shell on it?"

Secretary Liu moved a little closer.

“Someone saw that Yellow River truck that can carry more than 30 tons yesterday and reported it to the authorities!”

"What's the point of suing? It just means they managed to get a few more..."

The upper machinery of an excavator, including the chassis and the counterweights used on the arm, weighs about eighteen tons. Adding the bulldozer's ten-plus tons, this modified Yellow River truck, with its four-in-the-front and eight-in-the-rear configuration, can only pull them around on city roads.

"Yes, it can definitely pull. And it's all-wheel drive, right?" Secretary Liu smiled slightly, his expression somewhat enigmatic.

The idea of ​​all-wheel drive was something Jiang Xia learned from the "Yuanbao car," and he used it casually when modifying that Yellow River truck.

"Yeah, we're thinking of going to the mining area, but the roads there are terrible. We'll need an all-wheel drive to get going..."

"Huh? How do you know so much?"

The little brat looked at Secretary Liu with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.

"Tsk, don't misunderstand." Secretary Liu pulled out a small notebook and showed it to Jiang Xia. "Just keep it to yourself, don't spread it around!"

"Hey, I was wondering how you ended up with a bicycle as soon as you entered the factory. 'IDCPC,' huh? You're pretty good at hiding things. No wonder Li Huaide said you were well-informed and secretly thought you had a powerful background. So that's what it is..."

"But what does this have to do with the two factory directors? You're such a riddle-maker; after all that explaining, I've only just figured out that your identity, Y, is extraordinary..."

Jiang Xia was somewhat dissatisfied. For some reason, he had recently developed a strong dislike for these riddle-solving people.

After all, a short message can take up a whole day to revise, which would annoy anyone.

Secretary Liu bowed slightly in pleading, "It's a professional habit of mine to speak so bluntly. Are you trying to kill me already?"

"Are you done with everything at the factory? Come on, I'll tell you something on the way."

Well, there's a lot to talk about. But if you're not sure, my colleagues are already pushing forward with the research, and besides, there are a bunch of senior engineers at the factory supporting Project 301. What can't they handle?

After thinking it over, the little brat decided to go and check on the two factory managers. As for how they got injured, Jiang Xia had already automatically imagined a whole drama.

This includes, but is not limited to, imagining Yang Youning's mind going blank again, and him driving an excavator to shovel Li Huaide, who came to provoke him, like mud.

"By the way, you mentioned it's a professional habit, so why did you reveal your secrets to me?" Jiang Xia felt something was off.

"It's easy to get things done when you're all alone. Anyway, your security clearance is higher than mine, so you can help me cover for me in the future. Also, you'll have to lend a hand in the recent operations."

Secretary Liu pointed to the conference room next door. The audit team had already begun their review of Project 301 there.

"Oh, one in the light and one in the dark, right? Okay, is there a bonus?"

"There is a bonus, but I doubt you'd care about a few cents. I'll treat you to braised lion's head meatballs instead, how about that?"

?

The brat looked at Secretary Liu with disdain. Damn it, I've even eaten Old Mo's food, why would I care about your braised lion's head?

"I want to eat five!"

"Uh, two, I guess. Ying's mom only makes three at a time; she says too many won't absorb the flavor well. And there are other people looking forward to eating them~ Can I give you mine?"

As if remembering something, Secretary Liu licked her lips in a rather unladylike manner: "It's been so long since I've had this. Thanks to you, let's see if we can have it this year..."

Hey, you shameless bastard, you're pretty good at using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha, Jiang Xia continued to despise you.

"Which Ying's mother?" Suddenly, a thought struck Jiang Xia, and she remembered something.

The young man was shocked, while Secretary Liu smiled but remained silent.

……

The two of them boarded the torch in Jiangxia and rushed to the hospital despite the slight chill in the wind.

On the way, Secretary Liu told Jiang Xia what he knew. He only briefly mentioned the two factory directors, but he did talk about some special personnel in the factory in more detail.

"Currently, based on the materials submitted by Li Huaide, we have identified some individuals. Next, we need your cooperation to spread the word and create a 'honey pot' for them. The higher-ups mean that only when the house is cleaned up can we work with peace of mind."

"Okay, which one to choose? The stimulated emission amplifier of light or the 'measuring device for angular velocity under stimulated emission of light'? Some things in the team are a bit too sensitive, I don't feel they're quite suitable, but my Big Firecracker No. 1 is pretty good, and there's also the Sea Drop, plus a gyroscope, it should be able to take down a small fishing boat one by one..."

"Hey, how about I put Big Yellow's circuit diagram in the office?"

Secretary Liu's face was probably frozen by the cold wind, so all she could do was give an awkward laugh.

Brother, I know about all the stuff you've been working on, and Big Firecracker No. 1 is truly remarkable.

But using such heavy equipment to create a "honey pot" seems like giving too much credit to those "special individuals."

"We've got the engine blueprints done, but is there anything that looks really cool, something that people would immediately think is an amazing treasure? But actually, uniqueness isn't that important?"

"Absolutely! But I need to check if the crystals I need have been produced yet."

"We'd better hurry, the holiday is coming soon, or we won't be able to eat meat..."

Eating meat? That's a big deal! I'll go ask Dr. Lan Ying if she's excreted that ruby ​​yet.

"Hey, wasn't this supposed to be done by Lao Wang and his gang? How come it's you now?"

Upon arriving at the hospital, the two walked in side by side.

“No problem, intelligence gathering and operations are two separate departments. Do you think this is ‘tracking a tiger’s den’? One investigator can handle everything…”

As they were talking, two figures dressed in leather jackets appeared on the hospital stairs.

"Ha! My two guardian generals, Heng and Ha?"

"Yes, they've been following you when you went out these past few days. Old Wang doesn't easily show his face."

"Oh~~~ So those two clowns were also acting when they got injured?"

Jiang Xia pointed to a quiet ward and, through the glass in the door, watched Yang Youning straddling Li Huaide, repeatedly sitting down.

"Old man, you need to be taught a lesson, don't you! You even dared to plant a nail in my back!"

Li Huaide was so frustrated by being sat on that he almost defecated, but he mustered his strength and bit down hard on Yang Youning's calf, muttering incoherently:

"I'm playing the long game, and look, even the minister praised me!"

Wow, they have such a good relationship.

Jiang Xia greeted the two figures entangled together through the door, fed them half of the roast duck he had bought on the way, and then strolled out of the hospital building.

Ruby, here I come!
