Time flies, and it is already the 1980s.
Little Hongdou also celebrated her first birthday. Whether she was busy or not, she always liked to smile at people with her little milk teeth showing, making her more and more lovable.
In the past year, several important things happened in Xu Jianguo's family.
First of all, there is Wenwen. In June 1979, this bad boy took the college entrance examination at the age of 16, and successfully won the top spot in Jingzhou City. He was admitted to the strategic research major of Jinling Army Command College with excellent results (fictitious, please do not take it personally), and vowed to follow in his father's footsteps and join the army to serve the country.
Originally, this should have been a happy thing, but after Wen Sitian, Daya, Erya and Funniu learned about this, they hugged Wenwen and cried that night, making Xu Jianguo look at the scene in front of him helplessly.
Lele and Xiao Ping'an were a little confused about the situation and didn't know why their mother and aunts were crying.
"Dad, why are my mom and aunt crying? Isn't it a good thing that my brother got into college?" Lele asked in confusion.
"Uh... maybe I'm crying with joy!" Xu Jianguo said helplessly. After that, he thought for a moment, nudged Lele with his elbow, and asked softly, "Daughter, tell Dad, which university are you planning to apply to in the future?"
"Ah, I haven't thought about it yet!" Lele said.
"You are going to high school soon, why haven't you made up your mind yet? Let's make three rules. You are not allowed to apply to universities other than Jingzhou, otherwise your mother and others will cry even harder!" Xu Jianguo threatened.
"oh!"
"Oh what? Come on, pinky promise!"
"We've made a promise, nothing will change for a hundred years. Stamp!"
The father and daughter reached a friendly agreement, leaving Xiao Ping'an looking bewildered.
In fact, Lele doesn't understand now, but only Xu Jianguo himself knows that Wenwen has never left home since he was born. He was admitted to university unexpectedly, but has to go to Jinling to study alone when he is less than 18 years old. How can the four girls who watched him grow up not be sad?
When Xiao Hongdou saw her mother, aunt and uncle crying, she also opened her mouth and started howling. As soon as she opened her mouth, the four of them immediately stopped crying and ran to comfort the little girl. They took the opportunity to rescue Wenwen.
"Have you made up your mind? Do you really want to go to Jinling?" Xu Jianguo asked, putting his arm around Wenwen's shoulders.
"Yeah, I've thought about it!" He nodded steadily and vigorously, his eyes full of determination.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, Dad supports you!"
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Brother, we support you too!"
In addition to the fact that he was able to take the college entrance examination safely, another thing happened in April 1979.
That is, with the end of the investigation into the Yuenan incident, the investigation team formed by the UN still failed to find the mastermind behind the explosion after more than half a year of investigation, analysis and judgment.
Yue Nan's various actions of invading Jianpu Village caused its international reputation to collapse rapidly, directly affecting the country's development in military and trade. It can also be said that under Xu Jianguo's intervention, Yue Nan's good cards were directly exchanged for bad cards.
In order to cope with the more complex international situation and battlefield environment, the central government finally made the decision to restore the military rank system.
Led by the General Armament Department and the General Logistics Department, a new military uniform was jointly designed, and it was required that the change of uniforms be officially completed before New Year's Day 1980.
The weapons research institute led by Xu Jianguo was also fortunate to participate in it. Their main task was to cooperate with the people from the General Armament and General Logistics Department to carry out research and development in tactical belts, pendants, military boots and camouflage.
Due to the tight timeline and heavy workload, there were less than eight months from the time the central government issued the order, to the finalization of the design, and then to production and replacement of the troops.
Therefore, Xu Jianguo has been very busy since May Day. In addition to completing the daily work of the institute, all his remaining energy has been put into the research and development of new training uniforms.
To this end, Xu Jianguo directly summoned the research and development elites in materials, mechanics and optics in the institute to discuss the plan day and night. He also invited professors of relevant majors from the Medical University and the Geological University to help the research team make up for the relevant knowledge.
In the design of the tactical belt, they took into account the fact that soldiers need to carry various equipment during combat. They had to ensure that the belt was strong and durable, while also having good adjustability and comfort. After repeated experiments with different materials and buckles, they finally determined a belt made of high-strength synthetic fiber material, equipped with a quick-adjust metal buckle, which can be used normally in various extreme environments. In addition, the belt buckle with hidden function can be replaced according to different battlefield environments and mission requirements.
For example, hiding explosives, alloy slings, knives, first aid medicines, etc. in belt buckles.
As for the research and development of tactical military boots, Xu Jianguo mainly upgraded the military boots he had developed before.
In addition to meeting the requirements of military boots for different terrains, detailed considerations must also be made from the anti-slip, wear resistance, and puncture resistance of the sole to the waterproof and breathable properties of the upper, and even the explosion-proof aspects.
When it comes to the camouflage patterns of the new military training uniforms, Xu Jianguo's team dare not slack off at all, because this is the top priority of their mission.
The core of camouflage is to break the human body's outline and allow soldiers to blend into the natural environment, thereby reducing the probability of being discovered by the enemy. This involves knowledge of color science and visual psychology.
In order to better complete the research and development of camouflage patterns for training uniforms, Xu Jianguo first conducted in-depth research on the characteristics of various terrains at home and abroad.
