Chapter 173 Does this matter have anything to do with you?
The military vehicle drove into the military area, passed through one checkpoint after another, and Lu Youyou was taken outside a meeting room.
"Comrade Lu!"
"Comrade Lu, hello!"
Two middle-aged officers stood up and walked towards her.
Lu Youyou didn't want to exchange pleasantries, and asked directly: "Two leaders, can you tell me the details of Gu Qingye's disappearance and how the search and rescue is going now?"
"Comrade Lu, I am Liu Yongkang from the Operations Department, and this is Zhang Wanli from the Staff Department. Please take a seat."
Lu Youyou raised her head. She didn't give the old acquaintance from the General Staff any extra glances. She just looked at Liu Yongkang and said, "Are you informing me now that you are going to stop the search and rescue?"
Zhang Wanli's face turned a little cold. What was he talking about? Was he questioning the military district's actions?
Liu Yongkang's expression was calm, and his face did not change even though Lu Youyou spoke in a harsh tone.
"Comrade Lu, according to regulations, family members are not usually notified before the operation is over. This time we made an exception because you are the designer of the new equipment, and we need your opinion on some technical issues."
"Is Gu Qingye's disappearance related to diving equipment?" Lu Youyou frowned.
Zhang Wanli: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Liu Yongkang: "There is currently no evidence to prove the connection between the two."
Two voices sounded at the same time. Lu Youyou ignored the one named Zhang and continued looking at Liu Yongkang.
"We didn't find Comrade Gu Qingye within the theoretical search range, so we need to calculate more extreme situations, including the maximum pressure the equipment can withstand in this sea area, the maximum oxygen supply, and...how far the ocean current can push it when it loses control."
Liu Yongkang had been paying attention to Lu Youyou's emotions, fearing that she would collapse on the spot after hearing the last sentence.
It’s just that some people just like to ride the wind and waves.
"Comrade Lu, no one wants Comrade Gu Qingye to drift away. I hope you can cooperate with us. It would be good to have one more salvage direction."
As soon as Zhang Wanli finished speaking, Lu Youyou's sharp eyes immediately swept towards him.
"Salvage? Comrade Zhang believes that Gu Qingye is already a corpse?"
"Comrade Lu, that's not what I meant!" Zhang Wanli looked as if he was trying to stop wrongly accusing a good person.
Liu Yongkang coughed heavily and said, "If you don't know how to speak, you can just shut up!"
Originally he could have come by himself, but the chief of staff insisted on sending this person over.
The success on the maritime front was inseparable from the help of the new diving suit. Except for the unknown life and death of Gu Qingye, the special forces' operation was perfect.
Do you want to put the blame on Lu Youyou?
It's nonsense!
Lu Youyou asked coldly: "Comrade Liu, are you the person in charge?"
"It's me."
"Can I talk to you alone?"
After these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment, and Zhang Wanli immediately asked, "What does Comrade Lu mean?"
Lu Youyou didn't hide her disgust at all: "One-on-one communication is more efficient. Could it be that Comrade Zhang wants to delay the search and rescue time?"
Zhang Wanli cannot take responsibility for such a big pot. Lu Youyou is not only a military family member, but also an expert invited by the military region. Even if he has some ideas, now is not the right time.
Liu Yongkang said, "Staff Officer Zhang, please come in. Leave this to me."
Zhang Wanli could do nothing but leave.
After getting rid of the eyesore, Lu Youyou took the information and quickly got to work.
She thought that her overworked state in the 507th Institute was her limit, but now she knows that human potential is endless. She even suspects that she has a super brain instead of a human brain under her head.
For a moment, Lu Youyou even felt that there was no problem she couldn't solve.
An hour later, Liu Yongkang left with a thick stack of manuscript paper. The area circled by Lu Youyou had to be immediately transmitted to the front line to continue expanding the search range.
Lu Youyou was alone in the conference room, her right hand shaking unconsciously.
She had just overexerted herself and had been writing intensively for an hour, and her wrist muscles were twitching in pain.
A soldier from the communications company knocked on the door and came in: "Comrade Lu, the guesthouse room is ready. Do you need me to take you there?"
"Thank you, no thanks. I'll just wait here."
The young soldier left silently and came back with two lunch boxes ten minutes later.
"Comrade Lu, please eat something first."
Lu Youyou forced a smile and thanked him.
The lunch box contained half braised pork, half braised meatballs with cabbage, and two poached eggs, and the other box was filled with rice. It was obvious that it was a special meal prepared for the little one.
Is it to entertain experts or to comfort the widows of martyrs?
Lu Youyou didn't want to think too much, but she couldn't eat this late lunch at all.
She covered the lunch box and put it aside, her consciousness sinking into the study, where she aimlessly searched for information that might be useful.
Are there any hydrographic maps of the relevant sea areas? Are there any books describing the local climate and ocean currents?
Now that she has been reborn, Gu Qingye will definitely not repeat the tragedy of her previous life.
She didn't believe that fate was restarted just to play another joke!
Lu Youyou waited from day till night, and there were two more lunch boxes on the table, but she didn't feel hungry at all.
Dongdong——
"Come in!" Lu Youyou jumped up instantly, and the legs of the stool made a harsh noise on the ground.
Liu Yongkang was stung by her gaze and suddenly found himself unable to speak.
"Comrade Lu...why don't you go to the guesthouse and rest first? I'll let you know as soon as there's any progress."
Lu Youyou stopped moving forward and said, "What do you mean, still no news?"
She seemed to be standing on an ice lake that was about to thaw, watching the cracks spread but being unable to do anything.
It is October now, and even the water temperature in the southern seas is not high. What is more terrifying than falling into the water is hypothermia. Even with the protection of a diving suit, how long can Gu Qingye hold on?
How could she rest, how could she possibly sleep?!
"Comrade Liu, I want to go to the front line!"
Liu Yongkang was shocked: "What? How can this be possible!"
"Why not? If human eyes can't find it, use eagle eyes. It's better than looking for a needle in a haystack!"
There was no GPS in that era, let alone Beidou. The signal transmitter on Gu Qingye must have been broken, otherwise the search and rescue team would have been completely clueless.
Instead of searching aimlessly, why not let Xiao Huihui give it a try?
Liu Yongkang really didn't expect to hear such an "unreasonable" request. If it wasn't Lu Youyou who asked, he would have refused on the spot.
"Comrade Lu, I can't make the decision on this. I need to report to my superiors."
"Thank you, please give me a reply as soon as possible, time waits for no one!"
Lu Youyou knew that her request was excessive, but there was no other way now.
She had done everything she could, and if that wasn't enough, she would do it herself.
"Comrade Lu, that's the front line, not a scenic spot. You're not a soldier, what can you do there?"
In addition to Zhang Wanli, there were two more familiar faces at the door of the conference room, Commander Wu and Political Commissar He.
Half of the Dongzhou Island troops were on the front line. They received a notice and came to attend an emergency combat meeting.
Commander Wu said, "Comrade Lu, we understand your feelings, but we still need to remind you of some common sense. Non-combatants are not allowed to go to the front line, which is a restricted area."
Lu Youyou sneered: "Commander Wu, does this matter have anything to do with you? Gu Qingye is not under your jurisdiction, and I am even less under your jurisdiction!"
