At 3:30 in the afternoon, the jeep driven by Liang Tian stopped outside Jingzhou Railway Station. Xu Jianguo, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at Su Dingshan beside him and said, "Grandpa, I'll be leaving first. You don't have to worry about the project. I will definitely finish it as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I believe you, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Don't make mistakes because of impatience. Make sure there are no problems with the new project!" Su Dingshan said.
"Don't worry, I understand!" Xu Jianguo nodded solemnly.
"Okay, let's go!" Su Dingshan patted his arm and said with a smile.
"Yes, goodbye, old man, goodbye, Brother Liang!" Xu Jianguo said, then followed He Hongliang out of the car and walked towards the station.
He Hongliang led Xu Jianguo to an office next to the ticket hall. After taking out his ID and communicating with the person inside, he got a sleeper ticket.
"Here, keep your ticket!" He Hongliang said with a smile.
"Thanks, Brother He!" Xu Jianguo grinned.
"Okay, do I need to thank you for our relationship? Let's go, I have to go back. The leader has other things to do later!" He Hongliang said.
"Okay, goodbye, Brother He!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Goodbye. By the way, someone will pick you up at your base tomorrow morning!" He Hongliang said.
"Okay!" Xu Jianguo waved at him and said.
After the two parted ways, Xu Jianguo walked straight to the ticket gate with his ticket. After waiting for less than five minutes, a voice reminding him to check his ticket came from the station's loudspeaker.
After checking his ticket and entering the station, Xu Jianguo found his carriage, showed his ticket to the conductor, walked in, and quickly found his berth.
But this time was different from when he came. Apart from him, the other three bunks were occupied.
He Hongliang helped Xu Jianguo get a ticket for the lower berth. At that time, a young girl about twenty years old was sitting on his berth, and two men, one old and one young, were sitting on the lower berth opposite her.
The man looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He wore a navy blue Mao suit, black-framed glasses, and his hair was combed meticulously, giving him the air of a scholar.
The young man next to him looked about the same age as the woman. Xu Jianguo guessed that the three of them were most likely a teacher and a student.
The three people who were chatting were slightly startled when they saw Xu Jianguo come in. Then the young girl blushed immediately, stood up a little stiffly, and said, "Comrade... Comrade, I'm sorry, I just sat on your bunk for a while!"
Hearing this, Xu Jianguo smiled and said, "It's okay, just sit down!"
"Thank you!" The young girl was stunned and immediately said with a shy smile.
After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he left the compartment and walked towards the carriage connection not far away. After waiting for a while, the train started slowly with a whistle.
After observing the surroundings for a while, Xu Jianguo slipped into the space, then came to the study, increased the speed of time here to 120 times, then took out drawing paper and pen and started drawing. He wanted to finish all the remaining unfinished drawings before returning to Binhai, so that when the materials were in place, he could start manufacturing.
It was six o'clock in the evening, and only two hours had passed in the outside world, but Xu Jianguo had already been in the space for ten days. During these ten days, except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, he spent the rest of his time on drawing work.
"Huh, it's finally done!" Xu Jianguo muttered to himself as he looked at the design drawing of the low-light night vision device in front of him.
The reason why Xu Jianguo chose low-light night vision goggles instead of infrared night vision goggles was mainly due to technical limitations. After all, given the current situation in Longxia Country, infrared photoelectric conversion could not meet his design requirements.
Taking into account the battlefield situation in the west, the plateau, the wide field of vision, and the large areas of rocks and snow reflecting light, the low-light night vision device, which is relatively simple in theory and technology, became his first choice.
Xu Jianguo poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and adjusted the flow of time to normal. After putting down the teacup, he picked up a pile of drawings on the desk and slowly began to check them.
The drawings for seven projects, including fragmentation grenades, magnetic grenades, remote-controlled bombs, individual anti-tank missiles, bulletproof helmets, low-light night vision goggles, and the pistol and dagger that he added on a whim, have all been completed. After returning to Binhai, they can start working right away.
After putting away the drawings, Xu Jianguo looked at the time and found that it was not yet seven o'clock outside, so he ran to take a shower. He dawdled until eight o'clock before leaving the space and returning to the connection between the carriages.
In fact, he wanted to go home directly, but he had no idea that someone would pick him up at the station the next morning. If he was not picked up, it would be difficult to explain, so he could only endure the night on the train.
When Xu Jianguo returned to the box, the other three had already lay down on their bunks. The middle-aged man lived in the lower bunk and was reading a book with a flashlight.
When Xu Jianguo saw the man looking at him, he nodded to him, then took off his shoes and lay down on his bunk. After covering himself with the quilt, he fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
At six o'clock the next morning, Xu Jianguo woke up on time. After getting up and folding the quilt, he put on his backpack and left the box. He took the opportunity to go to the toilet, went back to the space to wash up, and then left the space again and walked towards the dining car.
Spending 60 cents and 4 taels of food coupons, Xu Jianguo bought a big bowl of pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles and a fried pancake, had a delicious breakfast, and then sat by the window in the dining car to look at the scenery and wait for the train to arrive.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the train gradually slowed down, and the scenery outside the window became familiar. Xu Jianguo stood up, put on his backpack, and walked slowly towards the carriage door.
He was bored and helpless after sitting on the train for 16 hours. He felt that he would go crazy if he didn't leave.
After the carriage door opened, Xu Jianguo stepped out. The moment his feet stepped on the platform, he felt so comfortable that he wanted to hum.
After stretching deeply, Xu Jianguo walked towards the exit. As soon as he walked outside, he saw Tai Wei standing in the crowd.
"Brother Tai, why did you come to pick me up in person?" Xu Jianguo walked up quickly and said with a smile.
"Hehe, the commander instructed me to pick you up and take you directly back to the headquarters!" Tai Wei said with a smile.
Xu Jianguo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, maybe the materials I need have arrived!"
Tai Wei looked at Xu Jianguo, who seemed to be full of energy, and shook his head helplessly. The two of them quickly left the train station, got on a jeep, and sped towards the Binhai base.
