A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

With his skinny legs, Jiang Xia naturally couldn't escape the clutches of the burly Old Wang.

Moreover, Old Wang isn't the only burly guy around these days.

There are three!

These three were different from Lao Wang's rudeness; they would just widen their big, round eyes and pretend to be teary-eyed.

"Hey Jiang, give your brother a hand. You know Old Wang is unreliable!"

"Little Jiang, Little Jiang, sob sob sob... What your little sister did to us is a disgrace for life... You can't just abandon us..."

Well, okay, okay, it's always good to help others and yourself. It should only take a couple of sentences.

Jiang Xia never intended to produce self-heating food himself. It would be ridiculous for a machinery factory to make food!

At worst, we can just sell some assembly line equipment.

Didn't you see how impatiently he refused when he reported to Yang Erlengzi, that guy who wanted to control all the products?

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Jiang Xia!"

"Hey, no, no. This idea was really started by Old Wang. He was the one who came up with it when he was helping me find late-night snacks..."

"Yes, yes, the specifics were handled by Master Nan Yi and Lao Wang's colleagues at our comprehensive machinery factory. I just used the cooling system that I gave to Master."

Hearing Jiang Xia praising himself again, Old Wang was practically snotty-nosed with pride.

He quickly moved closer to Jiang Xia, wanting to hear some praise from the boss.

"Hey! Without you, this wouldn't have worked! You organized the masses and made full use of the working people's skills. Otherwise, that kid Wang Kui would have wasted so much more grain!"

"Pfft..." The big guys, who were also listening intently, all covered their mouths.

Jiang Xia glanced back at the dazed Old Wang. Ah, what can you do? Everyone has something big inside, right...?

If anyone's to blame, it's Old Wang; you were just too impulsive...

"Alright, since you don't want to take the credit, I'll have the logistics department issue an award certificate to the comrade who handled it! Also, I'll have them provide you with some daily necessities."

"By the way, the production equipment you made won't be like Big Yellow's, which doesn't allow for any space to be moved, right?"

Slander! This is absolutely slander!

The machinery I use is top-notch! You could throw it from the second floor and it wouldn't break!

Well, this time it was Jiang Xia's turn to turn red-faced, while the "Four Brothers Who Dare to Pull the Tiger's Beard" chuckled to themselves.

"Apart from the vortex tube, the rest of the equipment is in Master Nan Yi's kitchen. You can ask the logistics team to move it themselves. Um, make sure to pay the usage fee, otherwise Yang Youning definitely won't let you leave!"

"Hmm? You have something urgent to do today? I was hoping you could give them some guidance..."

"Yes! General Buyi invited me to see how they were setting up the high-voltage lines. As you know, traveling ten thousand miles is worse than reading ten thousand books!"

"Really?"

"It's real! More real than real gold!"

"Okay! Give the phone to Wang Kui, you can go ahead and get busy!"

Hey! Does this mean they agree to let me go?

Indeed, cultured people always have to be a little more indirect in their speech!

Jiang Xia happily tossed the phone to Lao Wang and went to prepare for the flight.

Hehehe, the full set of Air Force protective gear. Pang Guoxing gave me a set last time, saying it was something I wore during the last operation, and I'm leaving it for Jiang Xia as a souvenir.

Bring them all, bring them all!

Bring a few more Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf; it seems a bit cold out there.

He put on the distinctive suede jacket of the Air Force, the heavy flight helmet, and hung sunglasses that were clearly foreign-made in front of his eyes.

Wow, I'm just asking if you're a professional or not!

Yes, we successfully took flight this time. Now I can carry Jiang Qiu and the others. Once we've done it once, there will be a second time. Once the door is opened, I will be the emperor of Jinzhou!

Pshaw, no, that's not right. It's an eagle soaring in the sky...

Hey, why is this flight helmet so heavy? I can't take it off, my neck is about to break!

How did Pang Guoxing and his team manage to fly so energetically while carrying such a huge iron lump?

Jiang Xia scratched his chin, picked up the steelyard balance left by his grandmother, and put his helmet on it.

Hey!

With the communicator and oxygen mask attached to the helmet, it weighs a full 10 kilograms!

No wonder pilots like Pang Guoxing all have remarkably strong necks; it's because of this thing pressing down on them!

Tsk tsk, no wonder the team feeds them special food. Well, apart from submariners, they deserve it!

Jiang Xia was unaware that this helmet held great commemorative significance.

Because it is neither the Alliance's ZSH-3 helmet nor the ZSH-5 helmet, but a special version provided by the Russians for Chinese pilots who went to them to learn in the early days!

Don't get excited just because it's a special edition. The one provided by the Russians is actually based on the ZSH-3 helmet, but the original lightweight aluminum alloy material has been replaced with steel.

While nominally offering more protection, it was actually an early prototype of the ZSH-5 helmet.

Well, they used our precious pilots as guinea pigs...

Anyway, after Lao Wang finished the phone call, he looked like he was desperately holding in his poop.

Oh dear, what should we do? The boss told me to persuade Little Dumb Hair not to take off, but look at how expectant he is. If we don't let him fly once, we might not get through today.

Besides, if you don't let him fly today, who knows when he'll come up with some kind of "flying duck car" or "flying rabbit car" and ride on it, wouldn't that be the same thing?

Just as Lao Wang was struggling with his decision, a loudspeaker blared from the doorway.

"Jiang Xia! Let's go!" Yang Erlengzi's voice echoed in the courtyard.

Hey, as expected, Uncle Yang is a man of his word, he really came to pick me up!

Jiang Xia knew perfectly well what Old Wang was struggling with. Recalling Yang Youning's act of changing his name yesterday, Jiang Xia felt that flying today was hopeless.

I never expected this! Uncle Yang, you're really awesome!

Jiang Xia excitedly dashed out of the courtyard, and on the way, she saw the conflicted Old Wang. She tugged at him and said, "Brother Wang! You've flown one of those things before, you know how safe it is. At worst, I won't pilot it this time, I'll just sit in the back..."

Old Wang sighed, "Alright, alright, brothers are just meant to be tricked, aren't they? Let's go!"

Once they were seated in the small jeep, the three of them, including Big Guy, squeezed in as well, saying that in case of an emergency, they could be human cushions for Little Dumb Hair underneath...

Nonsence!

You three really know how to set ambitious goals! Jiang Xia was touched, but also really wanted to kick them all off the stage...

Secretary Liu, however, looked worried and tugged at Old Wang, who had come back to get the equipment: "You just got into trouble, why did you go and provoke the old man again..."

"Pah! Jiang Xia is my brother. We're usually so peaceful and quiet. Now he can't even fly the plane I made myself? That's unreasonable! What, are you trying to snitch on me?"

"You're overthinking it. I mean, this time I'll step up!"

"You're nothing special, you haven't done much, just stay put! If you really want to help, go back to the factory and fool those logistics guys."

"what?"

"Fool! Yang Erlengzi went along, so they moved the equipment too smoothly. That won't show our sincerity... And Li Huaide, that troublemaker, isn't here. You have to step in!"

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! A 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao' strategy?"

"Hehehe, just adding to the annoyance!"

"groove!"
