Xu Jianguo carefully looked at the information in his hand. After a moment, he put it down and looked up at Wu Dajiang who was sitting in the main seat. Only then did he realize that a room full of old men were staring at him hungrily.
Being stared at by so many old men, even Xu Jianguo's face couldn't stand it, so he could only touch his nose to hide his inner embarrassment.
"Jianguo, how is it?" Wu Dajiang asked.
"Commander, this should be the parrot-written material about 'Doppler Radar Technology Principles'. I've roughly read a few pages and haven't found any overly obscure words. It should be completed in half a month, but time is still very tight. I need a completely quiet place. Please prepare a bed, a set of tables and chairs, a notebook and a fountain pen. The more ink, the better. Don't let anyone disturb me. Just put the food outside the door every day." Xu Jianguo said with a serious expression and put forward his own requirements.
"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it for you right away! I hope you can complete the task on time while ensuring quality and quantity!" Wu Dajiang said.
"Okay, I will ensure that the task is completed!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Um, Comrade Xiao Xu, can I make a small request?" said the old man surnamed Lin who had spoken earlier.
"Old sir, please speak!" Xu Jianguo said respectfully.
"My request is that you can provide us with the Chinese materials you have translated every once in a while, instead of waiting until you have finished translating them all. This way, our research progress can be roughly on par with your translation progress." The old man surnamed Lin said.
"Sure!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you!"
Seeing Xu Jianguo agreed readily, the other old men nodded without saying anything else.
Wu Dajiang continued to discuss the details of the task with the elders present, while Xu Jianguo sat quietly listening. After all the work was arranged, the elders left the meeting room one after another.
Wu Dajiang pressed the red button on the table again, and the two soldiers who had delivered the information before walked in and stood straight in front of him.
Wu Dajiang gave them orders. After the two men left with the documents, he walked over to Xu Jianguo and said, "Jianguo, I've already asked someone to do what you requested. It will be arranged shortly. I'll have Zhao Gang take you there later. The rest is up to you. I emphasize again that this mission is very difficult and important. I hope you will take it seriously!"
"Chief, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!" Xu Jianguo promised solemnly.
"I believe you. Come on, I'll let Zhao Gang take you to see your new room." Wu Dajiang said.
The two men walked out of the conference room, crossed the long corridor, and returned to the metal room they had been in before. Zhao Gang had already received the order. After saluting Wu Dajiang, he took Xu Jianguo away.
At the bottom floor of the base, Xu Jianguo and Zhao Gang stood at the door of a room, not far from Wu Dajiang's office, and it was very quiet.
Xu Jianguo pushed open the door and walked in. The layout inside was exactly the same as he had requested before. There were two stacks of parrot materials on the desk, next to them were two pens and two bottles of ink, as well as a dozen notebooks. There were two thermoses on the ground next to the desk. Even the luggage he had placed in the original room had been taken over. It can be said that everything was complete.
Zhao Gang stood beside Xu Jianguo and said, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
“Very satisfied, thank you!”
"You're welcome. The base will try its best to meet all your reasonable requests. If there is nothing else, I'll leave first. The red button at the door can be used for making calls. You can contact it if you have any needs. There are special personnel to handle it." Zhao Gang said.
"There is something really important. I promised my wife that I would write her a letter when I get there. Can you help me mail it?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Yes, but the sending and receiving address is not at the base, but at a military camp dozens of kilometers away. In addition, the base has regulations that all incoming and outgoing letters need to be opened and inspected. If you can accept this, you can write a letter and notify us after you finish writing. Someone will come to collect the letter." Zhao Gang said.
"Okay, I understand. I'll let you know when I finish writing the letter!"
"Okay, I'll be leaving now. Someone will bring you lunch, so hurry up and work."
"OK!"
After Zhao Gang left, Xu Jianguo sat down at the desk, picked up the parrot language materials beside him, opened the notebook, and began his translation work.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Except for going to the toilet, Xu Jianguo stayed in the room to do the translation work. Since no one disturbed him, he would occasionally enter the space and use the doubled speed of time to do his work. Most of the two piles of information were translated, and he used nearly twenty notebooks in total.
Xu Jianguo handed these notebooks along with the letter he wrote to Wen Sitian to the staff of the base.
When the notebook was handed to the old men who had attended the meeting before, more than a dozen old men became busy. After each result was verified, the old men danced in the laboratory, which made the soldiers standing guard outside the door confused, wondering why they were so happy.
Three days later, with the help of the space, Xu Jianguo finally completed the translation of all the information for the first phase.
He did not rush to send the information out, but took a shower in the space, asked Du Yu to make him some mutton and vegetables, and then had a hot pot meal by himself.
After eating and drinking, Xu Jianguo left the space, lay on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.
