The call was from Old Man Yang, something happened.
Zeng Wangcai taught the formulas for flash bombs and tear gas. In fact, these things don't require very advanced technology, it's just that no one had thought of them before.
He thought that since he had handed over the formula, it would be easy to make two bombs.
But he never expected that after half a year, there had been no movement from the higher-ups regarding the two bombs. Zeng Wangcai was still wondering, why were the higher-ups not showing any interest in giving him such good things as the two bombs?
It turns out that it wasn’t finished!
To put it simply, there was no problem with the chemical reaction, and there was no problem with the appearance of the shell. The problem lay in the detonation. The artillery factory was unable to ensure that the two bombs were detonated on time.
Many people, including those in the 208th Institute, have tried many times but still cannot solve this problem.
Minister Lin of the Ordnance Department under the Logistics Department was aware of the role of the two bombs and wanted to equip the troops with these cheap and affordable weapons as soon as possible, so he asked Old Man Yang to invite Zeng Wangcai back just in time for the Chinese New Year.
Old man Yang didn't want to agree at first, but Zeng Wangcai's company had been stranded on the island for almost half a year, and the South China Sea had been calm. He thought it was time for Zeng Wangcai to come back, so he communicated with various departments first, and only called Zeng Wangcai after all the problems were resolved.
There is another reason for letting Zeng Wangcai come back. Old Man Yang really can't bear to part with Zeng Wangcai. Without Zeng Wangcai, the grain yield planted at the base in autumn will be reduced by one third.
There is also the experimental field in Zengzhuang. After renovation and preparation, the big event of spring plowing is about to begin. Without Zeng Wangcai, no one can guarantee that the original guarantee can be fulfilled.
Against this background, Zeng Wangcai took Xiaobao and boarded the train back to Sijiu City.
"Damn it, the weather in our old city is still the best." Little Leopard, dressed in casual clothes, got off the train and breathed in the cold air of old city.
Zeng Wangcai was also wearing casual clothes, but it was not intentional. The military uniform was too thin and it was very cold in the city in winter. He received the notice in a hurry and had no time to get his winter clothes.
"Why do I feel... a little hot?" When Little Leopard saw that his elder brother didn't answer, he tugged at his collar and tilted his head upwards about thirty degrees.
This is typical showing off, but not daring to show off openly.
"Look at what you can do!" Zeng Wangcai slashed Xiao Bao's neck. "Wearing a vest can make you hot to death? Why don't I feel that way?"
Because there was no winter clothes, Zeng Wangcai had to go to the space and find some warm equipment, such as a light down vest, which worked well when worn inside.
There is no way outside. There is no hat on the head, so use a mask instead.
Xiaobao shrank his neck embarrassedly and tightened the backpack on his shoulders. There was nothing extra in the bag, only light down vests.
Zeng Wangcai thought about it and realized that this thing is made of natural materials, cotton fabric, and goose down lining. No one can tell the difference after removing the trademark.
As for Zeng Wangcai’s own backpack, it was just a tool, filled with waste newspapers.
After coming out of the train station, Zeng Wangcai and Xiaobao avoided the pickpockets and other scoundrels at the train station. They did not go home, but went to Institute 208 to look for Zhou Yuanbai for personal reasons first.
After many twists and turns, I arrived at Institute 208 and asked at the gate. I was told that Zhou Yuanbai and the director of Institute 208 were not there and had led several experts to the Western Suburbs Cannon Factory.
Well, Zeng Wangcai could only ask the 208th Institute to call the artillery factory to recruit people. When the directors Li Fan and Zhou Yuanbai heard that Zeng Wangcai was back, they were very happy and immediately ordered the 208th Institute to send a car to take Zeng Wangcai to the artillery factory.
Zeng Wangcai has nothing to say. As a scientific researcher, he is indeed lacking in this aspect. He will not consider other things when encountering scientific research problems.
When we arrived at the artillery factory with Zeng Wangcai and his companions in the car, it was already noon.
The car drove smoothly all the way and finally stopped in front of a newly built building. Zeng Wangcai got out of the car and saw that the sign on the new building was "Technical R&D Testing Department".
"Wangcai, you're finally back!" Zhou Yuanbai, with a shaggy beard and sunken eyes, was waiting at the door. He introduced the people around him, "Let me introduce you. This is the director of the 208th Institute. You can call him Uncle Li. This is the deputy director of the Machinery Factory, Liu Dehou, in charge of technology and production."
This Liu Dehou is a distant relative of Liu Haizhong and also the backer of Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai.
This guy was originally just a section chief, but with the factory's promotion, he rose through the ranks and became deputy factory director. This was also due to his efficient work and organization of production. It must also be acknowledged that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong played a certain role in this regard.
"Hello Uncle Li, hello Director Liu!" Zeng Wangcai greeted with a smile.
Li Fan knew Zeng Wangcai's identity. He had a close relationship with Zhou Yuanbai, so he treated Zeng Wangcai as a junior and was very enthusiastic.
Liu Dehou was almost there. He was very reserved. Actually, the word reserved is not quite appropriate. The precise word would be arrogant.
He didn't know Zeng Wangcai's identity and thought that Zeng Wangcai was brought in by Li Fan and Zhou Yuanbai to gild their reputation. For the sake of the two people's face, he nodded slightly at Zeng Wangcai as a sign of agreement.
"Haven't you eaten yet? Come on, let's eat first and talk in the afternoon!" Zhou Yuanbai finally sobered up and didn't take Zeng Wangcai in right away.
Then he rushed to the cafeteria, where Liu Dehou asked them to arrange a dinner for him. He then said he had something to do and left.
It was better when he left. In the small private room, the four of them chatted more happily.
"Xiaobao, give me the things!" Zeng Wangcai grabbed Xiaobao's backpack before the food was served.
"Oh oh oh, vests!" Little Leopard came to his senses and took out two down vests from his bag.
Because there were no sizes available, Zeng Wangcai roughly gestured and handed the larger one to the tall Zhou Yuanbai, and the smaller one to Li Fan.
"What's this for? Did you give it to me?" Zhou Yuanbai happily pinched the vest, "It's so light, did you go home..."
