There was no one at home who needed to be contacted, so we never installed a phone.
The main reason was that a telephone was quite expensive in that era, and when Li Xin came, he didn't have any family members to contact, so he didn't think about installing a telephone.
If there is a phone, the troops will naturally contact you.
When Li Jiuyuan and the others came over, they also mentioned this matter. They also said that they would definitely pretend, but they never found the opportunity.
"Once the situation at the border calms down, you'll be able to take some leave, and we'll install the phone then." Li Xin nodded and said, "Last time Mom called, she thought we had already installed the phone."
"Let's go to the army and make a phone call tomorrow. It won't be long before the border situation is completely eased." He Beichen responded.
The situation on the border is becoming more and more stable. There has been no fighting with Vietnam for a long time.
Gradually, the Yue State withdrew its troops, and now only the original garrison troops remain on the border.
…
In late October, several teams retreated from the border one after another. Since the wounded had been brought back for treatment, the teams only needed to rest after retreating.
"That's great! You've been away for so long and finally you're back." In the family compound, the military wives who finally waited for their husbands to come back were so happy.
The soldiers returning from the border were also very happy. Not only were the conditions much better after returning home, but they could also have the company of their families.
"After you come back, will you still go to the front line?" A military wife asked while hugging her husband, still with some concerns in her heart.
This time so many people went to the border and stayed there for such a long time that even the political commissar came to the family compound to notify them. In fact, many people were wondering whether a fight would break out.
"We won't go back. It's safe now." The soldier hugged his wife and nodded firmly.
After seeing that the Yue State had finally calmed down, the soldiers who went to support them breathed a sigh of relief. They had known for some time that they would definitely be able to return.
As more and more soldiers returned, the army gradually became lively. The family compound, which had been silent for a long time, was also filled with a joyful atmosphere, and for a moment it felt like the New Year.
After all the soldiers who went to support came back, He Yubo gathered all the soldiers together and held a commendation meeting, rewarding all those who had made meritorious contributions according to their performance.
"Congratulations! I didn't expect you to win the third-class merit this time." The soldiers surrounded Ding Cheng and were envious of the medal he had received.
"He helped rescue the researcher this time and performed outstandingly. In the subsequent battles with the Kingdom of Yue, he has always been at the forefront. It is not surprising that he is receiving this third-class merit." The soldier next to him explained to Ding Cheng with a smile.
Ding Cheng performed very well this time. Not only did he receive the third-class merit, he also received some other rewards. Maybe his position can be promoted in the future.
Ding Cheng held the medal in surprise, and the joy in his heart overflowed little by little. He did not think about these rewards when he did those things, but now that he has received it, he feels like he has been recognized. This feeling is completely different.
In addition, almost everyone in the elite team received a third-class merit, and He Beichen also received a third-class merit. There was a joyous atmosphere in the army.
The two-month-long friction with the State of Yue finally ended.
After the commendation meeting, the troops returned to normal. After a brief rest, everyone started daily training again.
He Beichen's injury has completely healed, and he leads the team in training every day, but he is not as nervous as before.
Li Xin stayed in the research institute, still researching laser guns, but due to technical problems, he never made much progress.
"We thought about it and decided that with the current technology, it would be impossible to make this laser gun. We plan to upgrade the equipment." Du Peng thought about it and came to discuss with Li Xin.
The researchers had discussed this matter and had held many meetings, large and small, during their one-month research on the laser gun.
"Equipment is indeed very important. There are many parts that cannot be made with current equipment." Li Xin nodded. She had discovered this problem some time ago.
However, it is not easy to solve at the moment. Upgrading the equipment is not an easy task, and it will take a long time.
"We don't know if we'll make it in time, but there's been no progress at all. All the research seems to be stuck." Du Peng sighed with a headache.
They are now focused on catching up with the United States and even surpassing it, so they are very anxious about this matter and hope to accomplish it as soon as possible.
"If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. There is still time. Don't be anxious. Just do it according to your ideas and don't put too much pressure on yourself." Li Xin could only advise.
Only by calming down first can you think calmly.
She chatted with Du Peng for a few more words, discussing some equipment that needed upgrading, and then it was time to get off work.
"Have a good rest and don't work overtime in the research institute every day. It's been a month. If you keep going like this, the laser gun will not be made before your body collapses." Li Xin saw that he still wanted to do research and couldn't help but persuade him.
But Du Peng just shook his head and walked into the laboratory.
Li Xin sighed and walked out of the research institute while thinking.
The equipment in her space can actually make this laser gun, and the technical difficulties can be easily overcome.
But how can we use these devices?
It's impossible for her to make the laser gun in the space and then take it out, right?
Putting aside whether it is reasonable or not, what will happen when the time comes for mass production?
However, it is not easy to take out these devices without arousing suspicion.
"What are you thinking about?" He Beichen asked worriedly when he saw her thoughtful look.
"The problem with the laser gun is quite troublesome now." Li Xin lamented to him, but it was not convenient to mention the things in the space while being outside.
After dinner and a shower in the evening, Li Xin still hadn't thought of a good solution, and he felt a little absent-minded while lying in bed.
"I'll give you a massage so you can relax. You're just too tired now. Maybe you can think of the answers to some things after you relax." He Beichen took the initiative to suggest it when he saw how hard she was working.
"Okay." Seeing that he was so thoughtful, Li Xin turned over and lay on the bed, letting He Beichen massage him.
Last time, he pressed her so hard that her whole body was in pain, but now he could control the strength very well, and even the acupuncture points were very accurate, and the pressing felt very comfortable.
Li Xin half-closed his eyes and indeed felt relaxed.
"He Beichen, your skills are getting better and better." She praised him generously.
"I specifically sought out Sanmao to learn it."
