Not much could be said over the phone, but Lin Chuchu learned a simplified version of the story.

The two chatted for three minutes before hanging up.

Lin Chuchu smiled; she was naturally happy for Du Lingling that she could find happiness.

Lin Chuchu has been very busy these past few days, as have the rest of the team. They are working day and night, constantly trying and experimenting, and continuously testing the technical performance of the shells.

We need to take into account all aspects, including lifespan, practicality, and reliability.

Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain.

Wearing a mask, Lin Chuchu looked at the freshly made shells in front of her and asked curiously.

"Tell me, which is better, our artillery shells or those from the Russian bear?"

Mao Xingguo was a senior figure in the military, having already begun using armor-piercing shells during World War II.

Feng Tao paused for a moment, then said, “Although I am confident in our artillery, I think we still need to face the facts: we are not as good as them.”

Although they have improved the speed, penetration, and accuracy of their shells, against the Russian bear, their shells might not even be able to penetrate the enemy's defenses.

If our own shells can't destroy tanks, are we supposed to fight them with our own flesh and blood like our predecessors?

This thought crossed everyone's mind, and they couldn't help but clench their fists.

They no longer wanted to lag behind others militarily, nor did they want to be passively attacked.

Researcher Hou said firmly, "Let's continue. I refuse to believe that we can do what others can."

We are all human beings, so why should China lag behind others?

If they don't have high-density, high-strength materials, they'll go looking for them and make them.

They didn't even have the specific blueprints and technology for tanks before, but they still managed to get their hands on them, didn't they?

Lin Chuchu gritted her teeth, nodded firmly, and her eyes blazed with a determined fire.

Together they overcame many difficulties. How could they not make a small armor-piercing bullet?

They have high standards for their research, as do other groups, which is why their research continues to improve.

Give them some time, and they definitely can.

The shells were more effective than expected, much to the delight of the leaders, but they were still not satisfied.

The base leadership knew exactly what kind of people these researchers were; they were a bunch of lunatics who wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal.

The base leader patted Zhou Lichen on the shoulder, "Comrade Zhou, just do your best in everything, don't push yourself too hard."

Zhou Lichen gave him a smile, "Don't worry, leader, we will definitely complete the mission."

Base leaders, "..."

Was his word really that hard to understand? He just wanted them to rest properly and not ruin their health, but why did it sound like he was urging them to?

Just as the base leaders were debating whether to offer an explanation, they saw Zhou Lichen leading his team members to continue discussing the data issue.

Forget it, he doesn't need to worry about this group anymore. He'd better go check out the other groups instead.

When I went to other group offices, I found everyone busy.

They were even crazier than Zhou Lichen and his group.

When Researcher Tian and Du Lingling returned to the base, the base leaders brought Lin Chuchu and the others out of the group office.

These days everyone has been working diligently, even working overtime a few times, and has made some progress. Just when we were about to continue following up, we were suddenly called out by the base leaders.

"Boss, why did you call us out? We're about to conduct an experiment."

Researcher Hou asked curiously. They had just found a clue and figured out the composition of armor-piercing ammunition and the types of ordinary shells. They were a little annoyed that they had been interrupted.

The base leader rolled his eyes at him. "What, do you want to live in an office your whole life? Your marriage application has been approved. Don't you, the groom-to-be, want to attend your own wedding?"

Unlike Researcher Tian, ​​Researcher Hou had a very good relationship with his partner. He didn't want to go home to hold the wedding, so he brought his family to Beijing and planned to hold the wedding at the base.

Researcher Hou snapped out of his daze and asked, "Have my family members arrived?"

The base leader nodded. "Of course you're here. Alright, get yourself ready and go see your family to discuss the wedding details."

Researcher Hou nodded excitedly, "Okay, I'll go back now."

After saying that, he didn't say goodbye to everyone and ran straight to his residence.

Seeing the base leader looking at her, Lin Chuchu quickly said, "Well, I'm going back too. Leader, when is their wedding scheduled?"

I think I mentioned it to her before, but Lin Chuchu forgot.

If the base leaders hadn't reminded them, they would have completely forgotten about it.

The base leader's speechless look made Lin Chuchu touch her nose in embarrassment. She hadn't meant to; she was just too busy.

The wedding is in five days. It's a simple affair, just a get-together with colleagues to have some fun. Since we're all military personnel, we won't be doing any wedding pranks.

Lin Chuchu came home early today and planned to take a shower at the public bathhouse. She smelled of engine oil and her clothes were sticky and uncomfortable.

Lin Chuchu thought to herself, "I never thought I'd be so disheveled."

After quickly packing their things, Xiao Lu and I went to the public bathhouse. A new bathhouse had been built, very close to their laboratory and family quarters, so they no longer had to share a bathhouse with the military families.

The hot water in the bathhouse was warmer. It was divided into large and small rooms. The small rooms only had seven or eight taps and were less crowded. They arrived early and managed to get a room in the small room.

The tap was turned on, and steam rose up. Soon, the room was filled with moisture, blurring the view and creating a hazy atmosphere, at least preventing us from being exposed to outsiders.
