Ji Xia looked at Qin Xiao with her clear deer eyes, her expression very puzzled. Although she did not reveal her background, she had already demonstrated her skills. She didn't understand what Qin Xiao was worried about.
Qin Xiao understood and felt helpless. He hugged Ji Xia and felt that it was useless to continue reasoning with her. He could only pay more attention to her in the future.
"I'll hand over this light frigate to you as well. The material used for this warship is special composite material. It is useful for near-shore cruising, but not for long-distance cruising. Also, it cannot withstand high temperatures, so it cannot withstand artillery attacks." Ji Xia explained to him.
"What if we use steel to build such a warship?" Qin Xiao asked.
"I think so too."
In the future, the United States will also have such a frigate, but the material used is steel. The reason why Ji Xia took out this frigate was also to guide the material.
A country's industrial development cannot be separated from technological innovation, but it cannot be separated from innovation in raw materials.
Qin Xiao had something else to do, so she asked Wang Yu to drive her back to the military compound first. It was exactly seven or eight o'clock in the morning. Although the temperature was low, the weather was good. The sun was out, and everyone took out their quilts to dry in the sun.
After Ji Xia nodded and greeted those kind-looking people, she entered the yard. Wang Yu drove Qin Xiao's car back.
Next door, Sun Yulan stared at the car for a long time. When she returned home, she said to Qiu Suquan, "Su Quan, I'm going to the county to buy some grain and oil. Can you drive me there?"
Qiu Suquan looked at her as if she were a fool and asked, "Where can I get a car to take you there?"
This woman has been quiet for two days, is she going to start making trouble again?
Sun Yulan was indeed frightened. Pointing at the next door, she said, "That vixen from Captain Qin's family, how come she even arranged for someone to drive her back when she went back to her parents' home? I'm going to the county, and I bought a lot of grain and oil this time. Why can't you drive me a car?"
Qiu Suquan didn't want to pay attention to her anymore. "If it's inconvenient for you to go, or you can't turn it, you don't have to go!"
After saying that, he took his hat and walked out the door. Sun Yulan chased him for a few steps but failed to catch up. She stomped her feet in anger and scolded Ji Xia.
She still refused to give up, so she went to find Shao Hongwei's wife, He Dagu. Together, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Sitting on Cheng Bo's donkey cart, she muttered, "That cart belongs to the army. Even if Captain Qin's family is wealthy, he shouldn't use the army's cart to pamper his wife. Did you see it this morning? It was Wang Yu who brought the one from Captain Qin's family back. I heard that she went back to her parents' home before."
He Dagu wasn't one for gossip, so she didn't respond after listening. When Sun Yulan said a few more words, she changed the subject and said, "I don't know what the supply and marketing cooperative has for sale. I want to go buy half a pound of meat to eat. What about you?"
Sun Yulan felt uncomfortable. It was the most frustrating thing to say bad things about someone else and not get a response. Firstly, her image would be bad in the eyes of others, and secondly, the person might have a closer relationship with the person being spoken ill of.
Sun Yulan really wanted to ask Aunt He if she had a good relationship with Ji Xia, but she didn't feel comfortable asking because there were other people in the car. Sun Yulan simply ignored Aunt He and talked to the other person.
"You said that Captain Qin used the army's car to pick up his wife and take her back to her parents' home. Oh, Captain Qin's behavior was not very kind. I wonder if the superiors know about it. This kind of thing should be reported to the superiors as soon as possible. We can't let Captain Qin make a mistake." Lin Huifen from the second regiment commander's house sighed three times.
Sun Yulan immediately found a kindred spirit. "That's not the point. We're all in the same trench. How can we watch a young man like Captain Qin make a mistake? I heard from my wife that the higher-ups are taking Captain Qin seriously."
Lin Huifen couldn't help but think of what her husband had said once: Qin Xiao is so lucky! She was so jealous when she heard that. What did he mean? Was he jealous of Qin Xiao's wife?
Lin Huifen was a petty person to begin with, and she immediately hated Ji Xia. In addition, Ji Xia had become very popular in the army a few days ago, so she wanted everyone in the barracks to respectfully call her sister-in-law.
Aunt He didn't say anything. She also mentioned Ji Xia to her husband on the kang. Her husband told her not to offend Ji Xia. Ji Xia was not just an ordinary military wife as she seemed on the surface. She was a very capable person.
Although she didn't know where Ji Xia's ability lay, it was definitely not as simple as teaching the soldiers to sing. Since she was not on the same track as them, Aunt He had no negative feelings towards Ji Xia. On the contrary, she even had a vague desire to curry favor with her.
He Dagu heard these people talking more and more outrageously and said, "Don't talk about what's going on outside, lest others hear it and it's bad."
This sentence was very intimidating. It was something their men had always told them to keep confidential. Therefore, Lin Huifen and Sun Yulan did not dare to say more.
One steelmaking production line and two electronic circuit production lines, a total of two sets of equipment, were loaded on two ocean-going cargo ships. After Ji Xia handed them over to Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao arranged for his men to dock the equipment.
All the equipment was packed up, and it was not brand new equipment, but second-hand equipment.
When Liang Zihua saw the two sets of equipment, tears streamed down his face. He stroked the wooden boxes as if he were caressing a baby, and choked up, saying, "China's industry is saved, it's saved!"
Qin Xiao's mood was also very complicated. These equipment should have been brought back by Ji Xia from abroad. On the one hand, he was shocked by the level of industrial production abroad, and on the other hand, he was also shocked by Ji Xia's ability. How did she get such high-tech equipment back from abroad?
It’s not that no one has made efforts in this regard, but even if they can get the equipment, they can only get equipment for producing products, and those products are common products, such as nylon, urea and the like.
The equipment that Ji Xia obtained was definitely the equipment that Western countries had tightly blocked from China. You know, these two sets of equipment could greatly improve China's industrial level.
No wonder Commander Liang was so excited.
Ji Xia had quietly accomplished such a big thing, and these devices were now almost 70% to 80% new.
"Commander, Fugang can come and take away the steelmaking production line. These two sets of electronic and electrical production lines are the top priority. Ji Xia said before that absolute confidentiality is required. Even the production personnel must be strictly controlled and no secrets can be leaked for the time being. I wonder if someone has been selected for the management work in this area?" Qin Xiao asked.
Liang Zihua had a candidate before, but the production line had not arrived yet, so he was not in a position to propose it to his superiors. Now that the two sets of equipment have returned, one set is for producing integrated circuits, and the other set is even a so-called chip production line that no one has ever heard of. Liang Zihua has absolute reason to apply to his superiors to ask for the person he has chosen to manage these two production lines.
