When Su Dingshan and Ma Guoliang returned home, they saw Xu Jianguo busy in the kitchen. They looked at each other and smiled.
Xu Jianguo heard the sound in the living room, turned around and found that the two old men were staring at him with smiles.
He wiped his face with his hand and asked, "Old man, Commander, is there anything dirty on my face?"
"No, your commander and I are discussing whether to transfer you to the kitchen team." Su Dingshan said with a smile.
"Old man, stop making trouble! Here, drink the medicine quickly and get ready to eat!" Xu Jianguo looked at Su Dingshan speechlessly, poured the medicine in the casserole into a bowl, and brought it in front of him.
Su Dingshan took the big bowl of medicine, gave Xu Jianguo a blank look, then picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Boy, what delicious food have you prepared for lunch?" Su Dingshan returned the bowl to Xu Jianguo and asked with a smile.
"Beef noodles!" Xu Jianguo said with a sneer.
Su Dingshan was delighted when he heard this. He happily ran to the bathroom to wash his hands, then sat obediently at the dining table, waiting for Xu Jianguo to serve him noodles.
Ma Guoliang looked at his old leader's skillful operation and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
He tugged at Xu Jianguo's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Boy, where did you get the beef?"
"Hehe, the mountain man has his own clever tricks. I bought it with money and it didn't violate any rules. You can eat it with confidence!" Xu Jianguo said mysteriously.
When Ma Guoliang heard this, he knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, but he believed in Xu Jianguo's character, so he didn't say much.
After lunch, Xu Jianguo made a pot of tea for the two of them, then sat on the sofa and began to give Su Dingshan acupuncture.
The old man will set off back to Jingzhou early tomorrow morning, so he doesn't have much time left for treatment. After all, the system task is still there, and he doesn't want to be punished by having his space disabled for a month just because he didn't complete the task.
"Boy, what kind of acupuncture method are you using? My stomach feels warm and comfortable!" Su Dingshan asked.
"This acupuncture method is an auxiliary treatment, and its purpose is to help you absorb the medicine faster." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
After listening to this, Su Dingshan nodded and did not continue speaking.
In fact, this acupuncture method is far from as simple as Xu Jianguo said. After inserting the silver needle into the acupuncture point, he would twist the silver needle with his fingers from time to time, or lift or pierce it. At the same time, he would call upon the spiritual power in his dantian and transfer it into Su Dingshan's body through the silver needle.
"Jianguo, what are your plans next?" Ma Guoliang asked from the side.
This was something Su Dingshan had agreed upon with Ma Guoliang before. The two wanted to know Xu Jianguo's next work direction so that they could make further arrangements for him.
Originally, Ma Guoliang planned to let Xu Jianguo serve as the deputy director of the 523 Institute, but when he expressed this idea, it was immediately rejected by Su Dingshan.
Ma Guoliang was a little puzzled, but the old man's next words completely convinced him, and at the same time made him feel a strong sense of guilt.
"The position of deputy director isn't suitable for him. Jianguo is only 18 years old. You should understand that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He's like a treasure right now. What we need to do is not only to unearth it, but also to protect it."
"Haven't you seen the clues yet? Jianguo designed two excellent new guns, but during the testing, no one from the 523 Research Institute showed up. Even if Jianguo was hiding it from others, there must have been at least a few workers involved in the production, right?"
"But you see the reality. There aren't even any researchers or workers here. What does this mean? It means this guy is being ostracized and treated unfairly at the 523 Institute."
"I secretly sent Xiao He to do some research. Do you know how these two new guns were made?"
"That kid, Jianguo, used two outdated machines and worked day and night to make them purely by hand. On his first day at the 523rd Institute, he was assigned to a bungalow behind the factory, a place similar to a small workshop. Without any workers around him, he single-handedly created two new weapons that could change the outcome of the war!"
Ma Guoliang listened to the old man's words, his face showed guilt, but at the same time his face was terribly gloomy.
The director of the institute has gone out to study and has not returned yet, and the position of deputy director has been vacant. So, apart from Director Shi Zhen, there can be no one else who can make such a decision.
After hearing Ma Guoliang's question, Xu Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then he stood up, took his shoulder bag, and took out the notebook inside. He then said, "I was originally planning to report to you later, but since you asked, I will tell you, and please check it for me, old man!"
"Okay, it seems that you are well prepared. Tell me!" Su Dingshan said with a smile.
In the next twenty minutes, Xu Jianguo spoke out all the plans and ideas he had made alone in the headquarters meeting room that morning.
When he closed his notebook, he looked up at the two of them, only to find that Su Dingshan and Ma Guoliang had already fallen into deep thought.
Xu Jianguo didn't care. Many of the light weapons and equipment for individual combat that he proposed did, to a certain extent, subvert the country's existing thinking and were worthy of deep thought by every soldier in Longxia.
Looking at the time, Xu Jianguo took back the silver needle from Su Dingshan's body. It was not until he used alcohol cotton to disinfect the needle hole that the old man came back to his senses from his deep thoughts.
"Boy, are you done?" Su Dingshan asked.
"Well, that's it!" Xu Jianguo nodded and replied.
"I'll give you a week to put your proposed theories on small-scale local wars and special operations into written form, and also make a catalog of the new equipment you just mentioned, explaining in detail their combat uses, and then hand all these materials over to your commander. It's indeed time to change the future war thinking!" Su Dingshan said solemnly.
"Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed!" Xu Jianguo stood up and said.
Su Dingshan nodded, then looked at Ma Guoliang and said, "You should also prepare in advance. If this proposal is passed, then the time for you, the 523rd Institute, to show up will come soon. Don't let me down!"
"Yes!" Ma Guoliang also stood up and answered.
"Think carefully about what I told you before. This is obviously a place for scientific research. Don't keep doing useless things and making this institute a mess!" Su Dingshan said in a serious tone.
"Yes, old leader, don't worry, I will definitely rectify it seriously!" Ma Guoliang continued.
Xu Jianguo listened to their conversation and was a little confused, but he did not ask any questions. Instead, he stood aside and listened quietly.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the house: "Report!"
