A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

The next morning.

Jiang Xia, preoccupied with his own thoughts, had no time to discuss romance. After thinking of a solution all night, he excitedly rode his "Torch" to the steel mill.

Take a break now, the Lunar New Year is just around the corner and we'll have a three-day holiday!

Before that, we need to come up with something to give "Camel" a little shock. As for what exactly it is, we'll finish what we're doing first!

After entering the factory gate, he greeted the guards and asked them to tell Old Wang not to come pick him up.

First, go to the confidential workshop to check the production status of the centrifuges.

Not bad, the technicians were still meticulous and did not slack off or be careless in the slightest because they were working overtime to meet deadlines.

He greeted his friends for a few moments, then grabbed two dark gray steamed buns from the Iron Army lunchbox and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Jiang! That railway badge is pretty useful!"

Seeing that Jiang Xia was still as friendly as before, Tie Jun was a little happy. He leaned close to Jiang Xia's ear and whispered something to him.

*Splat* A piece of steamed bun was spat by Tie Jun onto Jiang Xia's collar. Tie Jun quickly reached out and put it back into his mouth.

"Oh? You went to look at the locomotive again?"

"No, wasn't Sun Weidong supposed to be going out to 'assist'? I told him to buy a train ticket right away, but he insisted on going on a blind date before heading to the train station."

"Going so late, there was no way you could buy anything. In the end, that kid came begging to me. Hey, you don't know, as soon as I pulled out that badge, the train conductor took the kid straight to the sleeping car!"

"Wow, a sleeper berth! And all the train attendants are pretty girls. That guy was planning to leave tomorrow, but he didn't want to get off! He even regretted going on that blind date..."

"Hey, you haven't used that badge yet, have you? When's your holiday? Let's go for a ride and see the beautiful landscapes of our country..."

"You're not going to see the beautiful scenery, are you? You're going to see the train attendants, aren't you? What's that saying again? They smell so good and look so beautiful!" Jiang Xia pushed Tie Jun away, her hand pressing against his head.

Sun Weidong, a young man about my age, is already capable of standing on his own. I think I even signed his recommendation letter. Keep it up, young man!

Jiang Xia suddenly felt that time was flying by, and that time was running out!

"How long until you finish what you're currently working on? I have some other things here, are you interested?"

Tie Jun gathered the crumbs of steamed bun stuck to his hands and carefully licked them into his mouth.

Then I picked up the kettle and gulped down a bellyful of water.

"We should be able to finish the preliminary inspection of all the parts by this afternoon. Wei Hong and her team will be responsible for inspecting the assemblies. Are you in a hurry? Will we be working overtime tonight?"

"Not too urgent, just a large toy. The main thing is I'm not sure if I can even strike up a conversation over there..." Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment before pulling out the blueprints for the horizontal engine.

After thinking about it, I decided to just get the technology demonstrator working, regardless of whether the camel comes or not. It would be good to enlarge it and put it on the Type 59 later.

"If we strike up a conversation, is it something for export?"

"I guess so! Come on, now that you've finished the centrifuge, try working on this. Don't try to do it blindly; keep the blueprints confidential for now!"

"Okay! Don't worry, I've memorized the confidentiality regulations."

As they spoke, the "Three Heroes" in the lounge stood at attention in unison: "Heroic and unyielding in upholding state secrets! Undeterred by dangers, they safeguard state secrets!"

"Uh," Jiang Xia waved his hand, "It's not at that level, at most it's a factory secret..."

"That won't do. We're an export company, so our requirements are naturally higher!"

Tie Jun took out the master plan and looked at it, then took out a key from his pocket.

Then, the two remaining keymen from the technical department also pulled out a key and chuckled at Jiang Xia.

Tie Jun pulled open a storage cabinet against the wall, reached inside and rummaged around for a bit, and then the other two...

Looking at the sheer size of the large iron box, layer upon layer, Jiang Xia's eyes twitched slightly. Luckily, the steel mill wasn't short of steel, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have let you waste steel like this!

"How about that! It's even more reliable than a bank safe deposit box!"

Reliable!

Looking at the time, oh well, it's time to answer the phone again.

He tossed a few energy pills to the men to help them recover. He rushed back to his office, where Secretary Liu was still standing straight at the door, as usual.

He usually has a rosy complexion, but for some reason his face turned dark today.

"Hey bro, what's up? You were pretty active last night, weren't you?"

Secretary Liu was taken aback: How did you know I gave those big shots a confidentiality lesson yesterday? Didn't you leave a long time ago?

However, his dark complexion was not due to simply "working overtime"; well, you know what happened.

"How do you know it?"

"Hmm, I have some miracle pills here, want one? You're almost ready to have a baby, aren't you?"

So that's what it is~~ Pshaw! What kind of crazy thinking is this! Holding a baby? My little darling, if you keep doing this, I won't even have time to sleep with my wife anymore!

Stop it, Jiangxia! There aren't many departments in Beijing that you can mess with!

But I heard this thing works pretty well? Giving it to someone who doesn't have a wife is such a waste!

Secretary Liu's heart skipped a beat:

"Is your 'power pill' expired?"

"No, it's really useful. Li Huaide comes to ask for a couple every now and then!"

Jiang Xia fiddled with his bag and took out a small porcelain bottle, handing it over.

When the old strategist was preparing the medicine, he probably gave Li Huaide a good beating. He'd been taking it for almost half a year, and there were still several bottles of those powerful pills left. Jiang Xia was genuinely worried they might expire and produce some strange effects, so lately he'd been giving a few to anyone he knew.

Answer the phone.

Leading the pack was Factory 112 in Northeast China. "Junior brother, our J-6 fighter jets have recently improved their engine technology, and they can now fly at much higher altitudes! They can even hover briefly at 1000 meters!"

"Currently, the J-6 fighter jet is being gradually equipped with a new engine. Let me tell you the specific parameters..."

Listening to Factory Director Xiong's report, Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes slightly. Excellent!

"By the way, Uncle-Master, has the higher-ups asked you to allocate planes to that Albania?"

"Hey, you're pretty well-informed. I was just about to tell you! That's the country that made that request."

"Hey, after sending 5 modified planes, the rest of the batches will use your free-range chickens!"

"Huh?" Factory Director Xiong's voice sounded somewhat surprised.

“I still want to use all the ‘free-range’ aircraft! We don’t even have enough for ourselves after the upgrades! You don’t know, now there are a few more military representatives in the factory. As soon as the improved version came out, they just lay on the landing gear and wouldn’t get off.”

"It's okay, just listen to me!"

Jiang Xia recalled the actions of that bizarre country and found it inexplicably amusing.

"How to offend all the major powers through diplomacy?"

"A country that blacklists the whole world?"

Tsk, whatever. Even if it becomes that infamous arms depot in the future, it's none of our business. At least for now, this bizarre country is in our favor.

But thinking about the large number of J-6 fighters stored in their bunkers, Jiang Xia still felt a pang of heartache. These were things we had saved up to send to you!

Let's give you a few upgraded J-6s to have some fun first. Do you have enough pilots to fly the rest? So, those ground-based pilots from the 112th Aircraft will come in handy!

Of course, the initial few upgraded versions were also meant to let this country fly them and show them to other countries.

For example, in that country that's famous for its mummies, trying to get them for free is impossible! Absolutely impossible!

I'd take any mummy you send me!

Sell ​​it to the magical French, and let them grind it into powder and drink it like medicine!

Jiang Xia hung up the phone, beaming with pride.

Hmm? Grind it into powder?

Looking at the room, he specially pieced together a rough dinosaur fossil.

"Why is one of these ribs missing?"
