In the following period of time, Xu Jianguo would occasionally go to Hong Kong Island during the day. The company registration procedures that Xu Ziqi helped him with had been completed, and he had also deposited 100,000 British pounds into the HSBC bank account opened for each company, just waiting to make a big move next year.
In the early morning hours, he would go to Japan and run around various museums and art galleries. The total number of antiques and cultural relics he had collected had exceeded 5,000.
As for the map that Xu Yang had found before, Xu Jianguo also took the time to visit several places and successfully found more than ten tons of gold and more than forty tons of rare earths. In order to get these things, he also asked Fu Bo and others to learn chemical knowledge and radiation protection knowledge.
Among the many items looted, he also found a metal box marked with the Re logo. In the box were several pieces of silver metal, with a total weight of about one hundred kilograms. According to Fu Bo, this is a precious metal called "rhenium", a key material that can be widely used in jet engines and rocket engines. About 80% of the world's rhenium is used to produce aircraft engines, which is of great significance in military strategy.
The several magazines that Xu Jianguo purchased through the system mall also gave a detailed introduction to this metal. In order to maintain its dominant position in the aviation industry, Magnesium and some other Western countries have been imposing a materials and technology blockade on Longxia for many years.
Due to the lack of materials and technology, the field of aviation engines has long been a weak point in my country's aviation industry. However, this situation should be alleviated in the future. After all, Xu Jianguo, a native of Longxia, is a patriot with external plug-ins. It is not a problem for him to obtain some advanced technologies and processes.
However, the specific operations still need to be studied. After all, the sudden emergence of some cutting-edge technologies and materials requires a reasonable explanation, otherwise it is likely to bring trouble to him and his family. Xu Jianguo knows the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure better than anyone else.
Time quickly came to January 1962, less than half a month away from New Year's Eve.
After breakfast that morning, the whole family changed into thick winter clothes. Today was the day Xu Jianguo would take them back to the Binhai Base.
The three girls ran around in the yard reluctantly. The sentimental Funiu and Erya even shed a few tears. Wen Sitian and Daya tried to coax them for a long time but it didn't work. Finally, after these girls promised them that they could come back and stay for a few days every month, the two little guys gave up.
Looking at the time, Xu Jianguo appeared in a forest near the Binhai base through a space portal with four people and a dog.
When the white light disappeared, several people stood on the snow in the forest. Among the three girls, only Funiu had seen snow, while Daya and Erya were born in Bashu, and this was the first time they had seen snow in their lives. They immediately jumped around happily in the snow.
Funiu was like a little adult, showing off the snowman that she and her brother had built when they were in Sandaliang Village. The two girls were full of envy and looked at Xu Jianguo with their big eyes from time to time.
He had no choice but to promise them that he would build a snowman for them when he returned home, and only then did Daya and Erya let him go.
Wen Sitian looked at Xu Jianguo's wrinkled face, chuckled, and said, "Well, being a parent is not easy, is it?"
Xu Jianguo nodded and said, "That's right. It's really not easy to treat everyone equally."
"There's nothing we can do. Although these three girls are not our children, the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. We can't favor one over the other." Wen Sitian said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, it won't happen!" Xu Jianguo replied.
"Let me tell you a secret. Funiu and Erya were naughty and disobedient in class before, but Daya glared at them and they immediately became obedient. She is particularly majestic as the eldest sister." Wen Si said with a sweet smile.
Xu Jianguo was stunned. He looked at Daya who was playing in front of him and asked in disbelief, "How could Daya have such tricks?"
"Are you surprised? Du Yu told me this secretly! When our son is born, let Daya take care of him. I guarantee he will be well behaved!" Wen Sitian continued.
Xu Jianguo looked at his wife with a wicked smile and said, "Are you so sure it's a son?"
Wen Sitian rolled her eyes at him in anger and stretched out her little hand to pinch him, but her clothes were too thick and she had to give up. She said in a positive tone, "I have a feeling it must be a son!"
"Wife, whether it's a son or a daughter, you must not neglect the three girls just because you have your own children!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Need I tell you? They are my dearest children. I will not do anything that favors boys over girls. Besides, I have suffered from the pain of favoring boys over girls myself. How can I let my children go through it again? Don't worry!" Wen Sitian said.
"She's my wife after all, she has a high level of ideological awareness!" Xu Jianguo flattered her a little, which made Wen Sitian very happy.
"Think about our son. He has three aunts to protect him since he was born. He will be spoiled to the sky in the future. You, as a father, must grasp the direction. I don't want my child to become a second-generation rich prodigal son." Wen Sitian said with some concern.
"Don't worry, that won't happen. If that brat dares to disobey, I will let him see what fatherly love is like a mountain!" Xu Jianguo said seriously. His seventeen-year-old age combined with his expression at the moment was full of incongruity.
A few people left the grove chatting and laughing, and walked towards the coastal base in front. When the sentry at the door saw Xu Jianguo and others, he was a little puzzled and didn't understand why these people came here.
A sentry saluted Xu Jianguo and his men and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"
Xu Jianguo raised his hand and returned the military salute. He took out his officer ID from his pocket, handed it to the sentry, and said, "Base officer Xu Jianguo, I have been ordered to return to the team after completing the mission!"
The sentry was slightly startled when he saw Xu Jianguo return the salute. Then, when he heard him say that he was Xu Jianguo, his eyes lit up. After checking his ID and confirming that it was correct, he immediately shouted, "Major Xu, welcome home!"
Xu Jianguo took the officer's ID and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
Watching Xu Jianguo and his men leave, another sentry asked, "Huang Tao, who is this man? Do you know him?"
The sentry simply said, "That's Major Xu Jianguo!"
"What? He's Major Xu? Oh my goodness, why didn't you tell me so I could say hello!"
"Look at you, you're such a loser. Major Xu's back at base. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why rush? Is it appropriate to let someone stand outside with their family in this freezing weather?"
"Yes, yes, you are really thoughtful!"
The two ended their conversation and continued to stick to their posts.
The reason why they were so excited was that there was a soldier in the guard company from Bashu. When he went home to visit his relatives some time ago, he met his uncle who was serving in the Rongcheng base and heard about what Xu Jianguo had done in the Rongcheng base. Although it involved confidentiality regulations, this matter had already spread throughout the grassroots.
