Chapter 780: Time-Frozen Mage Qubing (Part 1)

Qubing was very happy to receive a red military uniform and a sword. He rode his Benben and went home. When he got home, Qubing's mother was weaving in the house. Seeing her eldest son coming back with a set of military uniforms and a sword, she immediately asked in surprise, "The leader asked you to join the army?"

"Yes, mother, but I don't have to go to the front line to fight for the time being. The leader asked me to be a personal soldier to protect him, and I don't have to follow the leader all the time. He gave me a military status and asked me to work in the research institute." Qubing put down the military uniform in his hand, and said to his mother while pinching her shoulders.

"Oh, so that's it, it's good that I don't have to go to the front line, it's good that I don't have to go to the front line." Qubing's mother kept muttering, and her whole body seemed to be relieved, and she suddenly softened in Qubing's arms.

"Mother, what are you talking about? Isn't being a soldier meant to fight? If the leader asks me to go to the front, I will definitely go, otherwise I will be a deserter and I will be beheaded." Qubing quickly blamed her with dissatisfaction.

"Mother, isn't this also because I am worried about you? I don't want you to make great contributions, earn a high title, or get more land. I just hope you can live safely. At the beginning of the year, there was a war in Kaiyuan County. Although many people made contributions, thousands of people died on the battlefield. Fortunately, they all have children, so there is someone to carry on the family.

Isn't that right? Our Han tribe has always recruited soldiers only after they have married and have children. You obviously don't have any children, so why did the leader let you join the army? No

, I have to find someone to find you a wife. You must not go to the battlefield before you give birth to the child." Qubing's mother stood up at once.

Qubing's face suddenly turned black, and he pushed his mother down again, "Mom, I haven't reached the adult standard yet. You are looking for a wife for me now. Isn't that harming me? That's against the law. Let's talk about this later. I'm going to work at the research institute tomorrow, so how can I have time to find a wife?"

"What's wrong with not reaching the adult standard? Can't we get along first if we can't get married? You don't have to worry about it. Since you're working at the research institute, it's a good job that many people envy. Mom will definitely find you a good wife who is both beautiful and fertile. Even if we can't get married now, we must settle this marriage first."

Qubing's mother struggled to stand up again, then took off her apron and was about to go out of the house. Qubing suddenly had a headache, and it was difficult to stop her, so he simply ran back to his room to get a few changes of clothes, then rode Benben and ran away from home, and hurried to the research institute on the lake island to take up his post.

When Qubing's mother came back, she learned from her little daughter that he had run away, which made her so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Alas, the bastard has grown up and can't be controlled anymore

. Qubing, who ran away from home, first went to Luo Chong to get a pass and a letter of appointment, as well as the information on ammunition research and development, and then borrowed five yuan from Luo Chong's guard leader to eat on the road, and agreed to return it to him after he received his military pay. Then he rode Benben leisurely on the journey to the lake island.

Benben's full-speed running speed is not slow, and the speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour is not much different from that of a war horse, so it only took four or five hours for this guy to run all the way from Hanyang City to Sitong County, and took his letter of appointment to eat and stay for free at the posthouse in Sitong County for one night, and rushed to Liuyang County early the next morning.

This was the first time he went out on his own for such a long distance, and he really had a lot of fun along the way, walking and stopping, sometimes running fast, and sometimes walking with Benben to rest.

When he met a tea vendor on the official road, he would go in to buy a bowl of tea, eat a sesame seed cake, tea egg, etc., and he had a very pleasant journey. When the tea vendor asked him what he was doing, the boy said "military secrets" in a very arrogant tone, and then rode his tall and terrifying mount again, rumbling towards the east in the direction of Liuyang County, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

Except for the two Deinonychus that the leader rode that year, no one else had ever seen such a huge mount.

It took another half a day to reach Liuyang County. At noon, they took a cargo ship to the research institute for supplies to the lake island. Benben was also forced to board the ship. Fortunately, the two-masted sailboat was large enough, otherwise the ship could be overturned.

When they finally arrived at the research institute, Qubing was immediately attracted by the research projects here.

Unlike the power research institute in the industrial county, the research institute here is comprehensive. Whether it is physics or chemistry, it has everything here. According to Luo Chong, it is a scientific research group. When Luo Chong proposes a new idea, these research and development groups will work together to produce it. Each group will study its own things separately, and finally summarize the results into one thing.

This is the so-called research and development process of the Han tribe. In fact, it is more like Luo Chong giving a mature plan, and then they will conduct a large number of experiments. To put it bluntly, this group of people is a group of high-level coolies, all of whom are experimental laborers for Luo Chong.

However, after arriving here, Qubing quickly integrated himself into the group, because there were many seniors he was familiar with in the institute, most of whom were the best math students in the senior grades of the school. They were all classmates and had common topics, so they naturally became familiar with each other quickly.

"Hey, isn't this Qubing? Why are you here too, wearing a military uniform? Are you here to announce a new project for the leader?" A young researcher named Ao Fei saw Benben's huge body and immediately recognized Qubing's identity.

Just kidding, this is the only guy in the school who was personally named by the leader and given a precious mount. He is definitely a celebrity in the school. Everyone in the school knows him. They all know that he has a good relationship with the leader and that he is one of the earliest veterans of the Han tribe. Don't look at this kid's young age, he was held by the leader when he was a child.

"Hey, you are right, senior brother. I really brought a new project, and the leader also asked me to personally participate in the research and development process. I just don't know if it is the aspect that you are responsible for." Qubing said jokingly.

"What project? My group studies optics and lenses. We are writing a book recently. Does it have anything to do with us?" Ao Fei asked curiously.

"Optics, lenses, you are writing a book? Then the telescope was not made by you, was it?!" Qu Bing asked in surprise.

"Hey, what else? Who do you think made it?" Ao Fei immediately became proud when he heard someone mention the telescope.

"Really? Senior brother is really amazing. It's a pity that the project I am leading this time has nothing to do with your side. The leader asked me to develop a new type of gunpowder." Qu Bing spread his hands and explained with regret.
