"You've been talking about it for so long. When will you give it to me? I also want to talk to Xinxin." Li Jiuyuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, and he wanted to grab the phone anxiously.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished yet."
“…”
There were several arguments on the other end of the phone.
"Xinxin." After a while, the person on the other end of the phone became Li Jiuyuan.
"Dad." Li Xin called out with a smile. Although it was just through the phone, she still felt warm in her heart.
On the other end, Su Miao seemed to say something, but because he was away from the phone, he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Your mother said that after two days, when we are settled, we will install a phone. After that, we will not contact you when you are working so as not to delay your work. We can call you when we have nothing to do in the evening." Li Jiuyuan said.
Only after I finished speaking did I realize that something was wrong.
Although he was able to talk to Li Xin as he wished, how come he became a messenger in the middle?
But Su Miao was right. This was a call from the headquarters, and they couldn't keep talking to Li Xin. They had to install the phone as soon as possible.
"Xinxin, we have also started researching laser guns. If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time. You can remember this number. If you have any emergencies during the day, you can call us." Li Jiuyuan thought about it and added a sentence.
Li Xin agreed with a smile and wrote down the phone number.
After a few more words, he finally hung up the phone.
"They had a smooth journey back. You can call them whenever you miss them in the future." He Yubo saw the disappointment on her face when she hung up the phone, and immediately comforted her.
"I'm fine, grandpa." Li Xin shook his head and quickly recovered.
It's just that he is a little uncomfortable with this separation for the time being, but it's not like they won't see each other forever, so Li Xin is not particularly sad.
"I have approved the laser gun budget that you asked Du Peng to apply for at the highest limit. This is a good thing, and I am waiting for the day when you can successfully make it." He Yubo patted her shoulder, not wanting her to be immersed in the mood of loss, and immediately changed the subject.
"Okay." Li Xin nodded in agreement and returned to the research institute. Recently everyone was in the research institute, immersed in studying laser guns.
"The commander wants to see you. What's the matter? Has the new gun been approved? Can it be mass-produced?" Du Peng asked curiously when he saw her come back.
This was the only thing he could think of that was related to Li Xin.
"No news yet. Grandpa said the research budget for the laser gun has been approved." Li Xin told him this.
"The maximum limit? This is the first time in all these years that such a high budget has been given. It seems that the commander also cares about this research!" Du Peng was very excited, but after the initial excitement passed, he was filled with deep pressure.
The blueprints for a laser gun are complicated enough, and the technical requirements are also higher. The parts configuration in all aspects is almost all top-notch, so it is very difficult to make it.
Especially their research institute, the current technical conditions are not enough and cannot meet the requirements at all. It is impossible to develop it in a short period of time.
As for the current progress, it is like a snail crawling, moving a little, but only a little, very slowly.
"No more rest, let's continue researching." Du Peng thought about the progress, drank the water he had just received, and went back into the laboratory.
Not long after, it was time to get off work in the evening, and all the researchers stayed in the laboratory, and no one was ready to leave.
"Aren't you all going to get off work?" Although Li Xin knew them very well, he still couldn't help but ask.
Researching laser guns is different from those small weapons. It cannot be made directly by staying up all night.
The United States has been researching this for many years now, and is still one-third short of completing the task. This remaining one-third is undoubtedly the most difficult part.
"I'm not leaving get off work. I'll finish the research first," Du Peng shook his head, now quite anxious.
Judging from his appearance, he probably plans to live in the institute for a long time.
"This is something that cannot be developed in a day or two. You still have to take care of your health. If your body is broken, you won't be able to research anything." Li Xin was worried. She was really afraid that these researchers would die suddenly like she did in her previous life.
"Comrade Li and Comrade Su have helped us so much and have placed high hopes on us. The commander has also approved so much funding. We cannot let them down and must finish it earlier than the United States." Du Peng put pressure on himself.
Li Xin was helpless. According to the history of her previous life, she was not in a hurry. There was still at least a year and a half before the American country would officially produce the product. This time was plenty.
"My parents said that the American side expects to produce it in two years. Even if it is advanced, it will only take about half a year at most, which is still enough time. Besides, they have also started research in the capital. If there are any problems, you can discuss them with each other. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. Make sure to get more rest." Li Xin sighed and persuaded them.
"I understand, Comrade Xiao Li, you should go back quickly." A researcher pointed to the laboratory door.
When Li Xin turned around, she saw He Beichen coming in to look for her.
After she gave him some more advice, she quickly left and went home with He Beichen.
"He Beichen, I received a call from my parents in the capital today. They have already returned to the capital." Li Xin happily took his arm, talked as they walked, and told him the content of the call.
Seeing how happy she was, He Beichen also became happy.
"I haven't received anything since I came here. How can I receive the things my brothers sent me?" Li Xin thought for a moment and quickly asked He Beichen.
In that era, there was no express delivery, no telephones, and no express delivery stations. She didn't know where the package would be sent or whether she would receive it.
She knew a little about letters. A postman would ride a bicycle to deliver them to the gate of the family compound. If no one picked them up, they would be left at the security booth and she could go find them herself.
But she had never seen anyone send anything.
"There's a special place in the army to collect things. If anyone's family sends something, it will be placed there. Someone will keep it and notify them to pick it up when the time comes. They will probably come to the research institute to find you, and you just need to go and get it." He Beichen explained to her.
As for the things in the family compound, they will either be taken back by the soldiers or sent to the family compound. In any case, the things will not be lost.
Li Xin felt relieved after hearing this, but she was curious in her heart about what the twins would send her. Would it be very heavy?
"It will probably take several days to get here from the capital," He Beichen said.
