Back to the 90s: I Helped the Beautiful Factory Manager Become an Arms Tycoon

Perhaps because he was too tired, Lin Yunhai slept very soundly. When he woke up in the morning, he felt refreshed and very comfortable.

After sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, Lin Yunhai began to look around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and then slowly remembered that he had come to an unfamiliar place.

After stepping out of the room, Lin Yunhai found that the weather was excellent today, with bright sunshine and not a cloud in the sky.

"Comrade Xiaolin, you're awake! Come and have something to eat."

Seeing him get up, Sun Jiacheng came over with a bowl of noodles, all smiles.

Their lives were very hard; they didn't even have an egg, only plain water.

"Good morning, Mr. Sun. I'm so sorry, I was too tired last night and couldn't help but fall asleep."

He still feels quite embarrassed when he talks about it.

He had promised Mr. Sun and the others that he would talk all night, but he fell asleep after only a short while.

"Oh, it's no big deal. To be honest, it's our fault. We knew you were tired from your journey, but we still made you stay up all night."

"Alright, let's talk about it after we eat. People need food to live on, and only when we're full can we have the energy to do other things."

"it is good."

Lin Yunhai didn't have much of an appetite when he first woke up, but he was afraid that eating later would cause trouble for others, so he went over.

Looking at the noodles the cook brought him, Lin Yunhai asked in confusion, "Why do I have eggs here?"

He looked around and noticed that everyone else was eating regular noodles, but his bowl had two poached eggs in it.

This is clearly discriminatory treatment; are they afraid he can't handle hardship?

The cook chuckled and said, "You've traveled a long way, you need to replenish your energy. Besides, you're young and growing, so you can't skimp on nutrition."

The cook was quite old and treated Lin Yunhai like a grandson.

Looking at the two poached eggs in the bowl, Lin Yunhai couldn't bring himself to eat.

Conditions in the desert are too harsh. Even if supplies are sent from above, it's still a very troublesome matter, which leads the people here to save as much as possible.

His arrival seemed to add a burden to the people here.

Seeing that he was struggling to know where to start eating, the cook continued, "Don't feel embarrassed. Our living conditions are usually quite good. We've run out of eggs today, but the supplies from above will arrive in the next day or two."

Lin Yunhai didn't believe these words, but he just didn't say it out loud.

"Thank you, but from now on I'll just be like everyone else, really."

He has also experienced hardship, so he can handle things that involve hardship and toil; there's no need to trouble others specifically for him.

The cook paused for a moment, then, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't do it again next time. You're a guest today, so please eat more."

This meal of noodles left Lin Yunhai with a particularly unpleasant feeling.

At that time, China was really too poor. Those who hadn't experienced it probably couldn't imagine how poor it was. In many places, the phenomenon of exchanging children for food still existed.

Of course, the gap between the rich and the poor is also quite large. The poor starve to death, while the rich indulge in wine, meat, and dine. This is why the country carried out land reform and the struggle against landlords.

If the new regime wants to gain a foothold and change the current state of the Dragon Kingdom, it must implement sweeping reforms.

This is a necessary process, and even if it means sacrificing many people, there's no way to change it.

Seeing Lin Yunhai sitting to the side with a heavy heart, Sun Jiacheng walked over and said, "Are you feeling upset because everyone is giving you preferential treatment?"

Lin Yunhai nodded seriously.

In his time, two eggs were nothing special, and people were even reluctant to eat them.

But in this era, two eggs are also a very important resource, and in critical moments, they can save lives.

“You’re a good kid. Don’t feel guilty. We’ve all lived here for a long time and are used to this kind of life.”

“But you can’t. You’ve just arrived and you’re not used to the new environment. If you don’t eat something nutritious, you won’t be able to handle it.”

"If you really feel guilty, then focus on developing weapons and help us improve our satellites. Once the country stands up, the national economy will change, and we won't be so poor anymore."

Knowing that Sun Jiacheng was trying to comfort him, Lin Yunhai nodded and ate his noodles in big mouthfuls.

Honestly, it wasn't very oily or flavorful, but it was the best noodles he had ever eaten in his life.

After breakfast, Lin Yunhai followed Sun Jiacheng and the others down underground to begin working on some of the problems that existed in the satellite development.

In the afternoon, Lin Yunhai finally understood what Sun Jiacheng meant by what he had said that morning.

He started having severe diarrhea due to the change in environment and water. Within two hours, he was on the verge of death, and his legs were trembling as he walked.

He was pale, his lips were blue, and he looked completely weak.

Unable to go downstairs to help anymore, Lin Yunhai was sent back to his room to rest.

Not only that, the accompanying military doctor also came to give him an IV drip, worried that he might not be able to withstand it.

Lying in bed, Lin Yunhai stared at the ceiling, feeling somewhat helpless.

He had considered everything, but he never expected that he would suffer from acclimatization problems, and that it would be so severe that he almost died before he could even begin his mission.

He drifted off to sleep, and when he woke up again, it was already dark. There was a person sitting in the room, Sun Jiacheng.

"Xiaolin, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

Faced with Sun Jiacheng's concern, Lin Yunhai said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm much better, but I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Hearing him say that, Sun Jiacheng said seriously, "You're not causing trouble. On the contrary, your physique is already quite good."

"Why do you say that?"

Lin Yunhai found it a bit strange.

He thought he had caused trouble for Sun Jiacheng and his group, but now it seems that this trouble was a necessary condition.

"The environment, climate, and water source here are all different from where we have always lived, so everyone who comes here will experience the problem of not being able to adapt to the new environment."

"I gave you eggs in the morning not to treat you differently, but because I was worried you wouldn't be able to hold on in the afternoon."

“When we first came here, no one was familiar with these things, and medical conditions were limited. Many people died because they couldn’t adapt to the new environment, which is a very sad thing.”

When this matter is brought up, Sun Jiacheng can only sigh helplessly.

Those soldiers did not die on the battlefield or in the hail of bullets, but died from minor problems such as not being able to adapt to the new environment.

But for the sake of the country's development, everyone had to grit their teeth and persevere, daring not to be careless in the slightest.
