"Honey, come out for dinner."
"good."
Su Miaoyan stopped what she was doing, pushed open the door and went out.
Lu Ting made a stir-fried cabbage dish and a chicken soup today.
Without doing anything else, Su Miaoyan's gaze fell on a bowl of chicken soup on the dining table, the seat closest to her. She pulled out a chair and sat down.
The chicken soup is golden in color, exudes an enticing aroma, and is topped with golden oil.
Lu Ting said, "Wife, drink the soup first, then eat the meal."
Su Miaoyan nodded gently, "Okay."
After the two finished eating, Lu Ting went to wash the dishes. As time passed, the temperature outside gradually rose.
After finishing her housework, Su Miaoyan took out some face cream from her room and applied it to her skin. She then put on the straw hat she had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
I glanced at the time on my wrist; after finishing everything, it was already past one o'clock.
This is the hottest time of year in the Gobi Desert. Even in the military area, which has shelter, the air seems to be filled with invisible heat waves.
Su Miaoyan reviewed the materials she had seen on the laptop in her mind, and to save time, the two chose to ride bicycles there.
Su Miaoyan kept her eyes squinted the entire way.
It's hot, so hot.
It wasn't until they arrived at the research institute and got out of the car to walk into the shade that Su Miaoyan felt like she had come back to life.
The towering research institute had several floors, with walls built on both sides. Soldiers with guns stood at the gate. When they saw the two of them coming, they all turned around warily, their faces cold, and their eyes were fixed on them.
He looked the two of them up and down.
Among them, some recognized Lu Ting and had received orders from their superiors yesterday. They saluted Lu Ting and said, "Greetings, Commander Lu!"
The others quickly realized what was happening and saluted, "Greetings, Commander Lu!"
This is Commander Lu, and the one next to him must be Miss Su, right?
The soldiers on duty change every day, so you see different people each day.
Su Miaoyan glanced at the soldiers and noticed that they were different from the ones she had greeted at the research institute last time, so she guessed the research institute's duty schedule.
Lu Ting took out a medal from his breast pocket to prove his identity. After the leading soldier looked at it, he nodded to the others.
At the same time, he saluted Su Miaoyan and said, "Greetings, Commander's wife!"
Su Miaoyan nodded to the group, and as they moved, the doors of the research institute slowly opened.
What comes into view is a long staircase. The infrastructure here is very complete, so much so that every piece of land is covered with flooring, and there is no sign of rudimentary conditions.
Seemingly hearing the noise, a small old man in a gray shirt and canvas shoes came downstairs. When he saw Su Miaoyan, he smiled and said, "Comrade Su, it's been a long time."
A familiar voice reached her ears, and Su Miaoyan looked up, her eyes flashing with surprise, "Professor Yan!"
Yan Huaili nodded, his gaze falling on the tall man beside Su Miaoyan. "Commander Lu, it's been a long time."
Lu Ting nodded. "Professor Yan, it's been a long time."
Su Miaoyan asked in confusion, "You two... know each other?"
Lu Ting did not deny it, "I once escorted something with Professor Yan."
He didn't explain in detail, but Su Miaoyan already understood.
Yan Huaili smiled and said, "I saw it was time, so I came downstairs to pick you up. Perfect timing, let's not waste any more time, come on up."
"good."
They both nodded at the same time.
Lu Ting glanced at his wife beside him, then at Yan Huaili who had already gone upstairs. He pursed his thin lips, but ultimately said nothing.
Upon reaching the second floor, many rooms had blue signs displaying their names.
Su Miaoyan glanced at him curiously for a moment, then followed Yan Huaili to the corner on the second floor.
There was a window at the very end of the corridor, where warm sunlight shone on the two of them, but after turning the corner, there was a completely different world there.
Because right next to it was a research lab.
It's pitch black here, with no sunlight, but the interior is equipped with excellent facilities, and the lighting is actually brighter than sunlight.
Yan Huaili stood outside and said, "This is it."
Su Miaoyan nodded, and the two went inside. Almost as soon as their feet touched the floor, a series of piercing notification sounds came to their minds.
The notification sound even seemed to get louder as the distance increased.
Su Miaoyan's expression remained unchanged, but she couldn't help but become even more curious about the two metals.
Because even when it came into contact with those enormous assets, Space had never reacted so strongly.
Doesn't that mean that the value of these two metals is even higher than the value of those assets?
Or perhaps, we also need to attract space?
Su Miaoyan tried her best to calm herself down. When she looked up, she found that Professor Xue and two other researchers were also inside.
Professor Xue stepped forward first and greeted, "Comrade Su, it's been a long time."
Professor Xue always remembered the kindness Su Miaoyan had shown him in saving him.
I haven't taken Xiaoyi to the family compound recently, also because of Xiaoyi's own reasons.
Xiao Yi is currently receiving specialized psychological treatment at a mental health center because he has just been able to speak.
After all, being able to speak doesn't mean that the trauma you suffered has been healed.
Su Miaoyan also remembered Xiao Yi. After greeting Professor Xue with a smile, she inquired about Xiao Yi's recent health.
"Xiao Yi is doing well recently and should be able to return to normal soon and study at the military district primary school."
Upon hearing the news that Xue Yi was recovering well, Su Miaoyan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
She still liked Xiao Yi very much.
Professor Xue smiled and gradually got to the point, "Comrade Su, I heard you wanted to come and identify metals, is that true?"
Su Miaoyan also came to her senses and smiled, saying, "Mm."
Professor Xue extended his hand, "Please come with me."
Su Miaoyan and Lu Ting exchanged a glance, and the two quickly walked into the small laboratory containing explosives.
Yan Huaili, on the other hand, remained in the large laboratory outside, acting as a lookout.
In addition to Professor Xue, two other researchers also entered the small laboratory with the two of them.
One of them is a man and the other is a woman.
Professor Xue seemed to realize something and introduced with a smile: "This is Professor Shen Mingzhi, and the other is Associate Professor Song Zhenzhu. Together with me, they are responsible for the research and management of the items sent into the small laboratory."
Su Miaoyan raised her head and looked at the two of them. She was stunned the moment she saw Shen Mingzhi.
This person...
Why do I feel like I've seen this somewhere before?
Seemingly noticing her gaze, Shen Mingzhi smiled kindly, "Comrade Su, I've heard so much about you, hello."
