Chapter 69: Shocked Silence
Song Yanzhou said concisely: "There is an urgent mission. I will leave the military region tonight, and Cao Yuanzheng will be with me. You should see Qian Huanhuan at the political commissar's house by then. Don't be afraid. They are all military wives you are familiar with. There will be no one else."
An urgent mission?
Emergency missions should be very dangerous. Song Yanzhou seems to be very capable, but there are always people who are better than you. Ye Mu is a little worried that he will get into trouble or get injured during the mission.
Song Yanzhou saw the worry in her eyes clearly and couldn't help but comfort her:
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I will come back safely. I just can't take care of you tomorrow. If you really don't want to go, I'll ask Wei Lingjue to bring you food."
Good brother, isn't it used for dispatching at times like this?
Ye Mu hesitated and said, "I have seen the stolen blueprints by the spies before."
Song Yanzhou didn't know why she brought up this matter again. She had already explained that she had seen the drawings.
The dim light was like the setting sun, filling the room with warm colors and falling on Ye Mu's hair beside the table. Song Yanzhou saw that she was hesitant to speak, and said:
"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me that you didn't say in the interrogation room?"
Maybe some very important information, he thought.
Ye Mu nodded and continued, gradually suppressing his pretended hesitation:
"I saw the blueprints they stole. There were guns and other mechanical drawings."
Song Yanzhou knew about this matter. Those were drawings from the H Province Research Institute. According to Ye Qianjun, they caused quite a stir in H Province. After all, it was not just one or two drawings that were stolen.
This shows how hateful the enemy is.
"I know there are guns. In addition to guns, there are also drawings for the modification of agricultural machinery, but most of them are design drawings for simple component upgrades."
"I know your story very well. Although you didn't tell me anything at the time, you can tell me now. If there is any key information, I will tell Ye Qianjun secretly, especially some spies you have contacted."
Ye Mu shook his head: "Everyone I've seen was caught by you."
Moreover, she said that the key point was not to reveal anything to him or to supplement her own statement, but to mention the pistol.
She continued, "I've seen the blueprints of the gun, and you took me to shoot it that night. So..."
Song Yanzhou suddenly had an idea and vaguely guessed what Ye Mu was going to say, but it seemed unlikely. With a slight doubt, he continued her words:
"So...what happened?"
He, who never joked before, wanted to make a joke at this moment and said tentatively:
"You can't possibly... design and modify a new gun after reading this, right?"
Ye Mu looked at him with bright eyes, and met his deep gaze. There was silent silence between the two.
Song Yanzhou looked at her well-behaved appearance and felt that her silence was deafening. It made his brain a little confused and he almost couldn't react.
"Ye Mu?" He asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly silent?"
Ye Mu said: "You are right, so I made a gun."
Song Yanzhou: “?”
This time he was stunned where he was. Wasn’t he designing and modifying a gun?
But made one?
Seeing the astonishment in his eyes breaking through the coldness in his eyes, Ye Mu said confidently:
"I've seen the blueprints, touched the gun, and with the parts given by Mr. Xu, it should be easy to make one, right? And it should be normal, right?"
Song Yanzhou pursed his lips tightly, almost doubting whether he was in a dream or reality.
Is this normal?
Looking at her little face under the light, he calmed down as quickly as possible, blinked, and said seriously:
"I don't think so."
“I think it’s not something that ordinary people can do.”
If there is anyone who can do it, it may only be the person in front of me who confidently says that he is normal.
Or maybe what she thought was a gun wasn't really a gun, but just a simulated bullet launcher?
He stood up suddenly and walked towards Ye Mu's room with his long legs:
"May I take a look at it?"
Ye Mu put down his chopsticks and followed him, then said behind him:
"Because it's you, I can show it to you."
Give him a compliment first.
Song Yanzhou paused. Because it was him?
Does this sentence mean that she trusts him completely, so she told him about this?
He didn't want to betray this trust.
"Because it's an urgent mission, I think it's dangerous, so I want you to take my gun. Maybe it will be useful."
Ye Mu didn't say anything affirmative, but she naturally knew that it would be useful. The weapon he held had technical suppression, so he naturally had an advantage.
I can’t guarantee anything for other people, but at least I can guarantee that nothing will happen to Song Yanzhou.
If he uses it well, he can naturally protect others.
Song Yanzhou smiled. He didn't expect that the reason why she told him this was because of her worry about him.
He squatted down beside the bed with Ye Mu, then reached out and pulled out the box that she had placed under the bed like a treasure.
Suddenly feeling like laughing, Song Yanzhou glanced at her sideways, his eyes fell on the profile of her face, and was noticed by Ye Mu. She turned her head to look at him, and Song Yanzhou quickly retracted his gaze and opened the box he had pulled out.
There were a bunch of scattered parts inside, and to be honest he couldn't really understand them.
But he also instantly locked onto the parts that he was familiar with.
He simply reached out and picked those out, and started assembling them without Ye Mu saying anything, but encountered some minor trouble in the process. Ye Mu saw him stop, took over, and took out the parts he missed from the box.
"I looked at the blueprints, and I thought the gun on the blueprint could be modified, just like an electric fan could be modified, so I modified it."
She assembled her pistol with her delicate hands and handed it to Song Yanzhou.
Song Yanzhou took it, unable to hide the shock in his eyes, and said:
"Did you really do this yourself?"
"…How did you do that?"
Ye Mufeng said calmly: "It's done just like that, just like modifying a fan, it's very simple."
Very simple?
Song Yanzhou: “…”
Well, maybe he underestimated Ye Mu’s talent?
Although he guessed that Ye Mu was extremely talented, he did not expect it to reach this level.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s not that exaggerated. After all, she has already made a sweeping robot herself.
Isn't modifying a gun much different from modifying a fan?
The sweeping machine is an invention, while the electric fan and this gun are just... changes made to the original objects.
It may not necessarily be a positive transformation, although he trusts Ye Mu very much.
But when you think about it this way, it’s really a simple thing?
So, Ye Mu’s logic is reasonable, and his previous shock was actually due to the unfamiliarity?
Song Yanzhou felt that his ideas were completely assimilated by the little genius in front of him, and at this moment he really felt that, as she said, this should be a simple thing for her.
"How about this. I'll take this gun and do some testing." Song Yanzhou said to Ye Mu, "Luckily you gave it to me a long time ago. Individuals are not allowed to possess guns."
"This is against the law, understand? But when you follow Master Xu, you can do whatever you want in the research institute."
Ye Mu realized that he was not allowed to carry a gun, and couldn't help asking: "Why?!"
"I want to carry it for self-defense."
If she is not allowed to carry a gun, how can she defend herself?
If this is the case, then in this era, joining the institute and receiving official protection may be the best option.
Ye Mu lowered his eyes, and Song Yanzhou explained: "Because it is very dangerous. If anyone can hold a gun, who will guarantee the safety of ordinary people? So Xiazhou strictly controls this aspect."
Ye Mu understood that this was also a characteristic of the times.
Interstellar can't even handle advanced weapons like mechas, let alone a small gun.
Many mechas are equipped with star energy weapons, which are much more dangerous than today's guns.
Then she has to think carefully about her future plans. If she joins the institute, she must strive for the greatest benefits and freedom for herself.
Regarding Ye Mu's statement that he made this gun for self-defense, Song Yanzhou thought about it for a while before saying:
"Don't you feel safe in the military area?"
"Then do you believe me? I promise you that I can guarantee your safety in the military area and the research institute."
He could understand Ye Mu’s lack of security, after all, he grew up in that kind of environment.
Facing Song Yanzhou's promise, Ye Mu naturally nodded, but then she said:
"I want you to carry out the mission with this gun."
In fact, no matter what, if he gets a gun from a non-military person, he should hand it over.
But it just happened to be at this time, and Ye Mu took it out so that he could take it away. Song Yanzhou nodded and agreed to her words:
"Okay, I promise, I will bring this gun with me when we take action tonight."
Only then was Ye Mu satisfied.
