A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Who is that guy?

Of course it's Old Wang.

However, contrary to what Secretary Liu had expected, Boss Wang from the headquarters did not look miserable; instead, he was quite unforgiving.

"Look! I'm in charge of this project! As the person in charge, I have to be responsible. Tell me, isn't it inappropriate to take some raw materials from your warehouse with just this?"

Old Wang pulled out the project application form with Jiang Xia's signature and waved it in front of the relevant personnel in the logistics department...

"It wasn't easy for me to come up with a quick way to get a hot meal for those comrades who have difficulty cooking! This should have been your logistics department's job, but I did it instead. You shouldn't have..."

"Thank u?"

Team Leader Liu from the Logistics Department watched Lao Wang's performance quietly.

He picked up the oil paper package, ignoring the old man in front of him who was talking non-stop, and tore it open. He took out the square flatbread and took a bite.

"Phew...delicious! It must have used a lot of oil, right? Goodness! Even if I threw a rock in and it got soaked in oil, it would still taste good!"

In a fit of anger, Team Leader Liu spat out a lot of crumbs of dough.

He quickly closed his mouth, carefully gathered the crumbs that had sprayed onto the table with his hand, swept them into a small pile, and then put them back into his mouth.

"That's it! You want me to thank you? Do you think you're some little devil?"

"You little sparrow! I told you it's hot food, hot food! Why can't you understand?"

Old Wang gave Team Leader Liu a disdainful look, grabbed a large tea mug from the table (whose owner it was), and drank the tea leaves in one gulp. Yes, he even chewed the tea leaves.

Then he snatched the flatbread back from Team Leader Liu's hand.

After stuffing the dough into the large tea mug, he opened a small oil paper package and shoveled in Master Nan Yi's secret whale meat seasoning. Finally, he picked up the kettle from the heater next to him.

As the soul-warming water was poured in, a strange fragrance filled the small conference room a few minutes later.

"Eat it!"

Team Leader Liu took the large tea mug, and looking at the poorly presented noodles, he couldn't help but swallow a couple of times.

Although it doesn't look good, this thing is really delicious!

I picked up my chopsticks, took a piece, and put it in my mouth.

Hot! Delicious!

Seeing how engrossed Team Leader Liu was in his meal, the remaining oil paper packets were also opened by the leaders present, who, following Old Wang's steps, wanted to get a bowl to eat as well.

"Huh? What's in this bag? And it's in a plastic bag? That's so troublesome, and it's hard to open. Couldn't they just wrap it in oil paper?"

The leader, who was missing a hand, looked at the plastic bag with some frustration. He thought about biting it open with his teeth, but it seemed rather uncouth.

But could a small plastic bag really stump him?

With a flick of his left leg, a cold glint appeared in his hand. A flash of light, and the plastic bag was sliced ​​open. "Huh? Why is it double-layered? Old Wang, that's a bit wasteful!"

"Oh, wait a minute. How did you manage to find one of the only two self-heating packs? You're so lucky..."

"It's different from the others!"

Old Wang watched as the old man cut open the plastic bag and quickly stepped forward.

"What's the difference? Using double-layered plastic bags is a bit wasteful!"

"will not!"

Old Wang first prepared the regular instant noodles for the old man before taking out the large plastic bag to show it off.

"This is the complete self-heating instant noodles. What you are eating now is the simplified version."

"Look, this is cold water, isn't it?"

Then, Lao Wang poured the cold water directly into a large plastic bag, folded the bag back over, and casually placed a teacup on top of it.

No one understood his actions, but none of them were impatient. They all ate their instant noodles, watching to see what would happen to the plastic bag.

"Puff puff..." A puff of white smoke rose from the plastic bag, and a faint metallic smell began to spread. Then, water vapor rose up, and the bag opening trembled slightly.

"It's hot... is it hot?"

"Nothing special! You just stuffed 'Pleasant Goat' in there!" Team Leader Liu, who had already finished his instant noodles, wiped his mouth, looked at the plastic bag, and let out a cold snort.

"The chocolates you took earlier were supposed to be distributed to the people participating in the experiment, so let's just leave it at that. They were going to be distributed to them anyway, but later when you went to pry open the raw materials..."

Team Leader Liu's voice grew softer as he spoke, and seeing the bubbling plastic bag starting to steam, he sensed something was wrong.

"Is it... boiling?"

Yes, that's correct. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that at standard atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). When water is heated to this temperature, water molecules gain enough energy to overcome the attraction between them, thus changing from a liquid state to a gaseous state, forming steam.

This isn't a plateau, so there's no doubt that the water in the plastic bag has indeed boiled!

"Hmph! Still Pleasant Goat? If you're sure, I'll replace all your Pleasant Goat quotas in logistics with these from now on!"

When Lao Wang opened the large plastic bag and then took out the smaller bag inside, what he shook out was actually a lump of rice!

Pour the heated sauce over the rice, and it instantly becomes a fragrant bowl of rice!

"This...this, this can not only cook noodles, but also rice?" Old Li, who hadn't spoken until now, sat up and waved to Old Wang, "Bring it over, bring it over!"

With a large rice spoon, Old Li scooped up some food and stuffed it into his mouth: "Whoosh~ It's so hot, but delicious!"

Everyone around was curious, and despite Old Li's objections, they quickly scooped up the whole lump of rice.

"Hot! But hot is just right!"

"Hey! Boss, how about it? Our good points outweigh our bad points, right?"

Seeing Old Li enjoying his meal, Old Wang wore a fawning expression.

"Does this heat up by simply pouring in water? Is the rice specially treated?"

"Yes, but it's not difficult! As for adding water, well, those by the sea will skip some steps, but those in the mountainous border regions will need to add some salt to the reaction pack. But it's pretty much the same, as long as it's water. In other words, hehehe, if we pee in it, it'll still get hot!"

"You mean you're in charge of this project?"

"Ok!"

"Then make one right here and I'll let you off the hook. I'll accept the punishment from the logistics staff on your behalf!"

"what!"

"You can't make it, huh!" Old Li sneered. Pointing to the detailed manufacturing instructions at the back of the project proposal, he said, "A rapid cooling device based on the eddy current effect. If you can design something like that, I'll rip my head off and let you kick it around like a ball!"

"Hey boss. Although I used Xiao Daimao's equipment, I still paid for the materials and made this batch of stuff myself. You can't just discard me after I've served my purpose!"

"Get out of here! The method of making it will make up for the mistakes."

"Wow, that's a great solution!" Old Wang's eyes lit up. After all that trouble, this was exactly what he was waiting for!

……

Pulling up the aggrieved big guy and the two men in leather jackets behind him, Old Wang ran as fast as he could...

"Old Wang, you bastard! How can you betray your own brothers like this! You just abandoned us and ran away!"

"Ugh, I'm incredibly stupid. I actually got caught by those weaklings in logistics. If I hadn't stepped down as team leader, I would have trained you guys to death! Don't forget your supplies from before, I got them all from logistics and never got caught!"

"you!"

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. I'll take you guys out for something delicious..."

"Pah! I'm not going!"

……

An hour later, Big Guy and two men in leather jackets sat in the Jiang family's courtyard, eating a stew made by Jiangxia.

Really fragrant!
