"There is a heater here, so it's quite warm to sleep at night, not that cold."
Li Xin held the hot water bottle and wanted to take out all the big and small hot water bottles that He Beichen brought for her.
"Mom, look at He Beichen, he brought me almost all the hot water bottles in the house."
Here in the capital, it’s only cold outside. There is heating in the house, so you don’t have to worry about being cold.
Su Miao looked at the hot water bottles and couldn't help but smile. He Beichen was quite nice in this respect. He really cared about Li Xin and brought so many hot water bottles for her.
"I've boiled some hot water. You two can soak your feet properly. You'll sleep better after the water warms up." Li Jiuyuan came out of the kitchen, filled a hot water bottle for Li Xin, and took a basin to get water for them.
Li Xin stepped forward to help, but was stopped by Su Miao.
"Dad, isn't he going to take a bath with us?" Li Xin asked in confusion when he saw Li Jiuyuan busying himself with something else.
She and Su Miao sat side by side, each with a basin and a thermos filled with water in the middle. It felt very different.
This experience was quite novel, as she had never soaked feet with anyone before.
"He'll take a bath by himself later." Su Miao said indifferently, enjoying the time with Li Xin.
It's rare for her to come over for a few days, and Su Miao cherishes every minute they can spend together.
After soaking his feet, Li Xin went straight to bed. A hot water bottle was placed on the already warm kang, which made it extremely warm.
She slept very comfortably that night, and no one woke her up the next day, so she slept until she woke up naturally.
"Xinxin, let's go have lunch with Mr. Ma at noon, and then go to the base together in the afternoon." Su Miao came back to pick her up at noon.
Li Xin nodded. He hadn't seen Mr. Ma for a long time. As soon as they met, he pulled him aside and talked for a long time.
"Comrade Xiao Li is really amazing. The equipment you brought are really useful." Old Ma couldn't help but sigh.
If it weren't for the equipment brought by Li Xin, the laser gun would never have made such progress.
The more he came into contact with these devices, the more shocked Mr. Ma was about the team behind Li Xin. If Li Xin was unwilling to reveal it, he really wanted to meet them and see what kind of team they were.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ma." Li Xin felt embarrassed by Mr. Ma's constant praise.
After the meal, Li Xin, led by Mr. Ma, came to the laboratory in the base.
The base is very large, with many laboratories. Weapons are classified into different categories, and there are also some large-scale weapons research.
Li Xin's equipment was placed separately in a laboratory and was kept highly confidential. There were several layers of protective doors, and even people in the base could not easily enter.
"These devices are very important to us. In order to prevent malicious spies from stealing or destroying them, only people involved in this project can access them," Mr. Ma introduced to her.
Li Xin nodded. He could feel the strictness of the place from the way he walked here.
The base has indeed protected these devices very well, and no information about them has been leaked. Even people in the base who are not involved in the project are unaware of the existence of these devices.
Li Xin walked in and saw that this laboratory contained not only equipment but also parts of laser guns.
"The laser gun is already half done?" Li Xin was very surprised when he saw the parts inside.
Although Li Jiuyuan and Mr. Ma had told her the general situation, she was still surprised after seeing it. Although these equipments helped, it was also inseparable from the hard work of these researchers, otherwise the progress would not have been so fast.
"When we returned to China, the United States had already completed half of the work. If we don't work fast, we may not be able to catch up with them." Su Miao introduced to her from the side.
She and Li Jiuyuan were relatively familiar with the progress of the American country, and that was why they were anxious.
"According to our current progress, we should be able to successfully develop it by the end of the year. There shouldn't be any problems. The US won't be able to develop it until next year, so we should be able to catch up in time."
Li Xin thought about it and told them that although it was not easy to directly tell them the timeline of the previous life, there would basically not be much change.
Since there is still time, Li Xin doesn't want Su Miao and the others to work too hard and cause health problems.
"And these devices are far superior to those in the United States. With their current technology, they can't achieve this. We are already in the lead."
Li Jiuyuan and his wife, as well as Mr. Ma, all nodded, agreeing with this point. Although they understood the principle, they were afraid of insufficient firepower and just wanted to get it done as soon as possible.
However, with the blueprints for the laser gun and the equipment now available, it's hard to imagine that progress won't be rapid.
"Look, are we using these devices correctly? Have we damaged any of them?" Mr. Ma pointed at the equipment and asked her to look at it.
There is another purpose for asking Li Xin to come over, which is to ask her to check these devices regularly to avoid subsequent problems. If she can't be used at that time, calling her over will waste time.
Li Xin went forward to check it out. The equipment was almost the same as when she took it out, and was still in very new condition.
"You don't use the equipment much?" She was even more shocked after checking.
When she saw those parts, she thought the equipment was working overtime just like the researchers, but the reality was not like that.
The base takes good care of the equipment and has never overused it, so there are currently no problems.
"This thing is hard to come by. Aren't you afraid of damaging it?" Old Ma smiled and replied to her after hearing that the equipment was still in good condition. "We only use these equipment to make some necessary parts."
After inspecting the equipment and getting a general understanding of the current progress of the laser gun and the parts that have been produced, Mr. Ma took Li Xin to a meeting with the researchers participating in the project.
"This laser gun was designed by a foreign team. When we brought it back, some parts may have been due to translation issues, which made the process unclear." Su Miao said, pointing to several parts of the design.
Those places are indeed a bit ambiguous and the direction of the research cannot be determined.
Li Xin watched and found that Du Peng and the others had mentioned it in their ideas, so he brought out the ideas of everyone in the research institute.
"We at the Southern Border Research Institute have also been researching this project recently, but due to insufficient equipment, some of our ideas haven't been realized. This time, I came here to discuss it with everyone and see if it can be of any help."
Li Xin said as he handed the records to everyone.
