Xiangzhong thought about what Zirun meant, then thought of Yu Jie not long ago: "Are you talking about the project that Yu Jie reported?"

Zirun shook off the ash from his cigarette and said, "What the ugly country has, what the good life has, we must have too. Otherwise, we will always be oppressed by these people, and our descendants will never be able to stand up straight."

Xiangzhong had more considerations and said at the time, "I'm worried. The economy is in recession, and agriculture has been affected by natural disasters. We don't know how long these natural disasters will last. If we aggressively develop heavy industry, life will become even more difficult for ordinary people."

"We have to sell everything we have to make the country stronger. If we don't have money, we can borrow it. After all, we are just like a bunch of lice that don't itch anymore."

Xiangzhong frowned. "I think we should be very careful about this matter. What Yu Jie has brought up now is just an idea. There are still many follow-up matters that are still under speculation. We should do it, but now is definitely not a good time."

Zirun nodded: "Well, let's put this matter aside for now. After the Malan base is closed, we will discuss it in detail."

"Okay, I'll reply to them now."

With that, Xiangzhong strode out.

I called back. Deng He had been waiting by the phone the entire time. Xiangzhong said, "Hello, Xiao Deng. The weather is nice in April. Don't forget to invite the little girl to the banquet." (There is a special code word, but because the novel is not real, I didn't use the original code word. If you are interested, you can look it up.)

Deng He smiled and said, "Okay, when is the banquet? I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot."

"You said you have such a bad memory. Did you forget April 8th?"

"Now that you mention it, I remember it. Don't worry, I will definitely bring the little girl back with me when the time comes."

After confirming the name and the time to go on stage, without saying anything else, he hung up the phone and immediately ran to make the arrangements.

Ling Yue learned that it was An Kexin who brought this matter here.

"Little girl?" Ling Yue raised her eyebrows. From this name, Ling Yue thought of the hydrogen bomb behind it.

The Dragon people believe that good things come in pairs, so it seems that they want a little son later.

Ling Yue withdrew her thoughts and looked at the plant that An Kexin had placed in a worn pot. "What is this? Amaranth?"

An Kexin nodded quickly: "Yes, teacher, look, this flower is so beautiful, it grows so well in the desert. But I heard from the uncles and aunts here that the flowering period of this flower is from May to June. I don’t know why it bloomed in early April this year? I thought it looked beautiful, so I dug one for you to put in the tent. It looks beautiful too."

"The amaranth has strong adaptability to its growing environment and is also a Chinese herbal medicine," Ling Yue gently fiddled with the petals, saying, "Since you want to contribute to people's livelihoods, you should be familiar with these things. At the very least, you should know what kind of things your products are suitable for and what their characteristics are."

When An Kexin heard this, she immediately sat down, took out her notebook and started taking notes.

Ling Yue usually speaks very little, but once she does, it is something very important.

Sure enough, Ling Yue continued, "Just like this amaranth, you only see its beauty, but its rhizomes are thick, and its leaves are long and tough, difficult to break. It likes sunlight and is suitable for planting in sandy soil."

An Kexin nodded repeatedly: "No wonder such beautiful flowers can grow in this place."

Ling Yue smiled, then put away the smile on her face and said, "This flower has a good windproof effect. You should return it to its hometown. It is better for it to stay with me."

An Kexin opened her mouth slightly in disbelief. It was obvious that Ling Yue liked it very much.

"Teacher, there are many outside, so this one is not enough."

"Yes, there are quite a few, but no matter how many there are, it's not it. It's obviously growing so well at home, why break its roots and trap it in this small piece of land? No matter how beautiful the pot is, it's not its home. Why imitate those bandits when it's fine?"

An Kexin didn't understand, but she still obediently replanted the amaranth back to the place where she dug it.

Ling Yue calmed herself down and buried her head in putting the rice into the genetically modified dry rice. This matter involved human life and could not be taken lightly.

On April 8th, the weather was unusually hot and humid, and the sun in the sky was shining even brighter.

A tall transmission tower stands in the desert, and the atomic bomb will explode on this transmission tower.

Ling Yue saw that she had changed her clothes. The main reason was that the time was set at three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time. She was still wearing a cotton jacket in the morning. If she didn't change her clothes, she would get heatstroke in a while.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Ling Yue entered the launch control room on time. In order to prevent the impact of radiation, she stood on a high platform at the base and could not even see the top of the tower because the base was very far away from the test site.

"How are the preparations going?" Ling Yue asked while looking at the current data.

Xu Ming quickly said, "Don't worry, I watched the entire paraglider installation process and there were no mistakes."

Ling Yue turned to look at another page and accidentally saw Deng He standing next to her shaking hands and clenching his fists under his protective suit.

"Uncle Deng, do you want to go get some water?"

"Ah? No, no," Deng He turned around and asked, "How long will it take?"

Shen Ping raised his wrist and looked at the time: "Fifteen minutes left."

Fifteen minutes, this time is very unbearable.

They were wearing heavy protective suits, which were highly breathable after Ling Yue's improvements, but under the sunlight, sweat still fell into their shoes, slowly overflowed, and then gathered in the protective suits.

"Why is time passing so slowly!" Xu Ming wiped his face and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

When the ten-minute countdown sounded, everyone's heart was lifted.

This is a matter of honor for the motherland. They were brought into the base without telling the truth and started construction bit by bit. They all had complaints in the beginning. This place was stingy and digging soil day after day was worse than defending the country in the military camp.

Until they learned that it was a base for building nuclear weapons, these people no longer complained and worked even harder after crying. This is also the reason why such a large-scale project was able to be built in just one year.

"Lingyue, it will succeed, right!" Deng He murmured softly, as if this could ease some of the burden.

Ling Yue nodded expressionlessly.

It wasn't until Deng He asked for the third time that Ling Yue took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Deng, this is a project you've been overseeing the entire time, and you're asking me?"

As she spoke, Ling Yue slapped Deng He on the arm: "Does it hurt? Are you awake?"

Deng He: ... Ling Yue's cat claws were so strong that it didn't hurt, but Ling Yue's words gave him strength.

This is a project that he has been overseeing throughout. No one knows it better than him. There is nothing wrong and no one will make a mistake.

"Ten seconds left, all departments, get ready."

Deng He's heart, which had originally calmed down, was lifted up again, and he secretly clenched his fists.

"Nine!"

"eight!"

.......

"two!"

"one!"

"emission!"
