A heavy downpour overnight finally made Taihu Lake in Suzhou become cooler in July.
The moist morning breeze gently blew across the lake, setting off fine waves like scales. The reeds on the lake are densely covered in water vapor, and when illuminated by the early morning light, the colors are as rich as a splash-ink painting.
Suddenly, a red sun jumped out of the clouds, instantly dyeing the vast lake surface a bright red, and also dyed the billowing smoke from the many chimneys on Xishan Island a coquettish purple.
Those chimneys are from Jiangnan Cement Factory, Jiangnan Chemical Industry, and Jiangnan Steel. There are also some smaller chimneys that belong to various laboratories in the research center.
As the first industrial base and testing center of Jiangnan Group, the environment of Xishan Island is no longer as good as it was twenty years ago. Although the island is still lush and green due to frequent rains, the area around the factory area is already bare, smelly, and looks disgusting.
And Biluochun tea, the favorite of the group workers, is gradually not as fragrant.
Taihu Sanbai brought back by fishing boats is becoming more and more rare, and it still tastes strange
However, the group has formulated a relocation plan and plans to close all factories within five years, and the research center will gradually move to Nan'ao Island, Chaozhou Prefecture. The group's propaganda slogan is that it must not pollute Jiangnan's Mother Lake, but only they themselves know what the top leaders are really worried about.

"The results accumulated by the research center over the past 20 years and the team trained are not only related to the future of the group, but also the trump card of our nation's leading opponents. They are our most precious wealth!" On the carriage heading to the research center, Zhao Hao solemnly said He warned Zhang Jian and Zhao Shizhen: "We must ensure everything is foolproof during the transfer process and keep it properly confidential!"
"Yes, Master." The two of them quickly nodded in agreement.
Zhang Jian smiled bitterly and said: "But everyone down here is as big as a bucket. I have saved so many bottles and cans over the years. I don't know how much this move will waste."
"So it should be packaged carefully and handled with care." Zhao Hao grew a neatly trimmed lip and mustache. At the age of thirty-six, he no longer needed to pretend to be calm, and he naturally became calm and composed.
¡°There are still so many things that cannot be moved.¡± Zhao Shizhen said with a wry smile.
"It can only be rebuilt on Nan'ao Island. The ones here must be completely demolished, leaving no tiles behind." Zhao Hao emphasized again. His concern about technological proliferation has become almost pathological.
"Uncle, are things really going to change?" Zhao Shizhen couldn't help but asked softly.
"Uh" Zhao Hao didn't know how to answer him. He touched his chin and said, "Even if it changes, it won't change that fast. But the research center is too important, so it's better to move to a safer place in advance to feel at ease."
"That's okay." Zhang Jiansong said in a tone: "Each institute has many projects at critical moments, and they cannot be abandoned halfway."
"Well, make a plan and try not to interfere with the research." Zhao Hao nodded.
The people in the car were talking, and the motorcade slowly drove to the closed iron gate of the research center. After checking the documents, the guard turned the winch and slowly raised the heavy iron door!
The security tasks of the research center are mainly undertaken by the special security brigade affiliated with the Security Department. The security here is usually tight, but today the level of security has been raised to the highest level. All institutes have received orders not to allow researchers and staff to leave the compound of their institutes, and violators will be severely punished.
This is the first time such an unkind order has been given. The researchers were not only angry, but also very curious. I wonder what big things are going to happen today?
Strong curiosity prompted them to stop their research and use their precious working time to gossip.
"What important person is here, so afraid of seeing it?" said a skinny researcher wearing thick glasses in Institute 04.
"It's definitely not because of the people coming. The big boss doesn't restrict everyone's freedom every time he comes," another researcher with thick glasses and thin hair shook his head and said, "Who dares to put on a bigger show than the big boss?"
"It makes sense." Another bald researcher wearing thick glasses said: "That's who is going to play the big game today. And what's revealed is the kind of absolute secret that even our director cannot know. .¡±
"Eighty percent yes." A group of researchers who had faded early nodded: "Which institute is so awesome?"
"We can't guess or inquire now." The completely bald chief researcher said calmly: "Look back and look at the people in which institute. You can tell by walking around with their nostrils turned upward these days."
"It makes sense!" Everyone agreed together. As expected, the chief is extremely smart.
"Let's work!" The chief touched his shining head and put on his glasses.Jing said: "When we synthesize urea, let Qu Suo apply for the same treatment!"
"Okay!" Everyone was so motivated that they no longer paid attention to what was going on outside the window and continued to destroy the few hairs left.

The convoy did not stop in front of any research institute within the second gate, which made the directors who peeked out from the crack in the door couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
¡°It¡¯s okay, okay, at least I didn¡¯t go into another house
"It seems that Institute 00 has come up with another big killer weapon." Xing Yunlu, director of the Institute of Optics, said to the deputy director on the side.
"That's right, they are the only ones who are so mysterious all day long." The deputy director nodded.
"It's right to keep it strictly confidential." Xing Yunlu said calmly. He is Zhao Hao's descendant, so he naturally knows more things.
The power and production methods of the weapons behind the three gates are far ahead of this era
??~~
After the carriage entered the third gate, it started driving in the courtyard of the Ordnance Research Institute. Today's 00 Institute is several times larger than before, and it takes a while to walk from one end to the other.
There is no other way. As the weapons produced by ordnance become more and more powerful and have greater range, the places where they are needed are also becoming larger and larger. The noise of shootings and cannons is getting louder and louder. Other research institutes can no longer be neighbors with them. We might as well give up the entire Chenjiawu to the 00 Research Institute and let them work hard in the mountains.
"Uncle, why don't you go to my place and take a look first, and give some junior brothers some more time to debug." Zhao Shizhen said with a smile to Zhao Hao.
¡°Obviously, 00 Institute is still not Zhao Hao¡¯s destination today¡
Zhao Hao took out his pocket watch, opened the solid gold watch cover with a snap, and looked at the hands on the dial through the glass mirror. It was only a little after eight o'clock, and I was really too impatient today.
"Going there so early will make young people laugh.
"Well, okay." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "But don't set off the cannons yet, don't scare the people over there."
"Okay, easy to talk about." Zhao Shizhen nodded hurriedly, but said in his heart, they have been used to listening to us having sex all day long
The motorcade stopped at the manufacturing and research workshop of the firearms institute. Zhao Shizhen jumped out of the car first, moved the cart stool to Zhao Hao and said, "Uncle, it's been a few years since he came to our place."
"Oh, really?" Zhao Hao stepped on the bench and got out of the car, moving his waist slightly. My waist was a little sore from the intense activity last night. It was really not what it used to be.
"No, the last time I came back was when the Wanli rifle was finalized." Zhao Shizhen complained: "It was the eleventh year of Wanli, four years ago."
"It's true." Zhao Hao also showed a dazed look, patted his forehead and said: "There are too many things to worry about now. It takes a year to walk from east to west."
As he spoke, he patted his eldest nephew comfortingly, looked at Zhang Jian and smiled at him: "This means that the guns and cannons you developed before are good enough! Right?"
"That's right." Zhang Jian agreed with a smile: "From performance to quality, they are among the best in the world. There is really no need for upgrading in a short time"
"Then at least it should be installed on a small scale like the Wanli rifle." Zhao Shizhen looked at Zhao Hao longingly and said: "Uncle, the taste of Jinyi Night Walk is too uncomfortable. Oh no, it is not used by the troops. We don't know how to improve it. "
"That's nonsense. I've given you so many experienced gunners, isn't it enough to have their opinions?" Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at him and said:
"I think you just can't show off your discomfort."
"Uncle, you know me, I am not a person who likes to show off." Zhao Shizhen said aggrievedly: "The main reason is the doubts from the officers and soldiers, which makes me feel bad. What they said, 'Zhao Lang has exhausted his talents and can't make a living. More powerful cannons are coming! No matter what they say is true, but they don¡¯t know that our cannons have been developed for several generations now!¡±
"Do you want them to look down on you and feel uncomfortable? Or do you want your enemies to learn how to feel uncomfortable early on?" Zhao Hao's expression became serious and he said:
"I've said it countless times. There are no insurmountable technical barriers between us and the Europeans. As long as the things we create are installed in one train, they will have the opportunity to get it and then copy itsuch as telescopes. It is said that the French Hot air balloons have been imitated. There are also improvements in our tactics, battleships and tactics - never underestimate your opponent's learning ability! And every bit of progress they make may allow our soldiers to make greater achievements. casualties!"
"The theory of finite generation difference" Zhao Shizhen muttered softly.
"Yes, maybe it won't matter to you in ten or twenty years. But this is a long game that future generations will have to participate in. We are already in the lead now. Playing trump cards will not help us win more. On the contrary, it will Let our opponents be more alert and accelerate their imitation of us!" Zhao Hao patted his shoulder hard and said: "So why not hold it in your hands first and let future generations fight?"
"I understand, uncle." Zhao Shizhen lowered his head in shame.
"Okay, let's go in and see, what good things have you been tinkering with in the past few years?" Zhao Hao smiled and comforted him again: "Don't worry, gold will shine sooner or later! Think about the hardships of our opponents Isn¡¯t it great to catch up with the products we produced a few generations ago?¡±
"Indeed." Zhao Shizhen couldn't help but feel happy. He regained his energy and asked the guard to open the door of the manufacturing workshop: "Uncle, please take a look first, how we make gun barrels now!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel. com)! Zhao Hao patted him hard on the shoulder and said, "So why don't you hold it in your hands first and let future generations beat it?" "
"I understand, uncle." Zhao Shizhen lowered his head in shame.
"Okay, let's go in and see, what good things have you been tinkering with in the past few years?" Zhao Hao smiled and comforted him again: "Don't worry, gold will shine sooner or later!
