Ma Guoliang looked at the sincerity in Xu Jianguo's eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, that's a good answer. I will convey your words to the old leader truthfully."
"That's good, little brat. You look like a soldier from our Binhai base!" Dong Jixiang also said with a smile.
"Hehe!" Xu Jianguo didn't know what to say, and could only hide his inner feelings by smiling foolishly.
"I haven't finished talking yet. What are your plans next?" Ma Guoliang put out the cigarette in the ashtray and asked.
"Yes, but it's still under consideration!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Oh? Tell us about it!" Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang's eyes lit up when they heard it, and they asked.
"This time, my idea is not to develop offensive equipment, because the old man told me about the situation in the west before. Most of the previous projects were offensive, so what I want to do next may be more defensive." Xu Jianguo said.
Dong Jixiang, who was impatient, immediately said dissatisfiedly when he heard it: "Boy, what you said is the same as not saying anything. Can you be more specific?"
Ma Guoliang also nodded and looked at Xu Jianguo, looking forward to his next words.
Xu Jianguo glanced helplessly at the two old men before him and said, "I've already created a brand new tactical helmet, so my next research focus will probably be on defensive and auxiliary equipment like bulletproof vests, explosion-proof boots, daggers, military watches, and lighting equipment."
"Bulletproof vest? You can make this thing?" Ma Guoliang asked in surprise.
"It's not difficult, but it's still under research. There are some limitations mainly on the materials!" Xu Jianguo nodded.
"That's great. The Soviet Union developed this thing in 1957, but they imposed restrictions on us, so very few people have seen it. They just know it exists. It is said that if you wear it, even the Type 56 can't penetrate it." Ma Guoliang said.
"It's not as weird as you say. In the case of close-range shooting, even if the bullet can't penetrate, the impact of the bullet can still cause fractures or internal bleeding. If it hits the heart at close range, even with a bulletproof vest, the soldier's chances of survival are not very high." Xu Jianguo said.
"That's fine. Even if the chance of survival is not very high, it means there is still a chance to survive. It's better than now, right?" Ma Guoliang said.
"That's right!" Xu Jianguo nodded in agreement.
At this time, Dong Jixiang asked, "Boy, what are those explosion-proof military boots you just mentioned used for?"
"Explosion-proof military boots are a special type of military boots mainly worn by infantry, scouts or special forces. Its main function is explosion-proof. Simply put, it is mine-proof, puncture-proof, waterproof and smash-proof." Xu Jianguo said.
"Wow, if our soldiers could wear this thing, wouldn't they be invincible?" Dong Jixiang said after swallowing his saliva.
"That's right. After hearing what this kid said, I suddenly started to look down on the yellow rubber shoes at home!" Ma Guoliang said with a face full of longing.
Xu Jianguo looked at the two old men in front of him with depressed expressions, ignored them, turned around and walked aside, poured himself a glass of water, and talked for a long time, his throat almost smoking.
"Boy, when do you expect to be able to produce samples of these things?" Ma Guoliang asked anxiously.
"It's hard to say, because some things I'm still researching, so I can't give you a specific time." Xu Jianguo said. In fact, these things are simply child's play for him. He has all the design drawings in his mind, but due to the backwardness of the times and technology, he can't come up with some earth-shattering products. Even if he has one, he can't make it now.
Another thing is that his wife is about to give birth, so he will not arrange too much work for himself during this period, so as not to fall into a trap and get trapped. He doesn't want to be stuck in a small workshop doing research and development while Wen Sitian is giving birth.
"By the way, Commander, Deputy Commander, I have something else I need to tell you two in advance," Xu Jianguo continued.
"What's the matter?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"My wife's due date is approaching. I plan to take her to the military hospital soon to see a doctor and see if she needs to be hospitalized in advance." Xu Jianguo said truthfully. The subtext was that I am going to be a father, so don't assign so much work to me.
Sure enough, when the two old men heard it, smiles appeared on their faces.
Ma Guoliang said, "Yes, yes, yes. Look at my memory. I forgot that Wen girl was about to give birth. Your aunt even asked me to ask you about your situation. She said she would help take care of you during the confinement period."
"Yes, this is a big deal. Let my wife go over there too!" Dong Jixiang also spoke.
"Hehe, that's great. You two know our situation. Fortunately, Aunt Wen Sitian's cousin came to live with us before the New Year. Otherwise, I would have to go to work every day and my family would be worried. Besides, I would be insecure without an elderly person around me." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll arrange a car for you later. You can use the car during this period, so it will be more convenient for you if anything happens!" said Ma Guoliang.
"Haha, okay, thank you, Commander!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
After finishing their work conversation, the three chatted about family matters for a while. Ma Guoliang checked the time, stood up and said, "Let's go. Let's have lunch here and try the food in the office cafeteria."
"Okay!" Xu Jianguo agreed.
As the three of them talked, they walked out of the office. Tai Wei and Guo Bin hurriedly followed them, and the five of them walked towards the cafeteria.
After lunch, Xu Jianguo drove the medium jeep arranged for him by Ma Guoliang back to the small workshop.
At this time, Li Delong and his friends had already finished lunch and were sitting in the outer room chatting. When they saw Xu Jianguo coming back, they all stood up and greeted him.
"Come, show me your results this morning!" Xu Jianguo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the six people placed the parts they made on the operating table. Seeing this, Xu Jianguo walked over. The moment he bent down, his Eye of Time and Space opened and he began to look at it carefully.
After a moment, Xu Jianguo said, "Li Delong, the angle of your chamfer is a little off. Measure it again later. Don't use too much force when cutting, and don't do it repeatedly. Try to get it formed in one go!"
"Okay, Mr. Xu!" Li Delong said.
"Liu Yong, the curvature of the arc of your part does not meet the standard... It should be operated like this..." Xu Jianguo commented on the parts made by each person one by one and told everyone the correct operation method.
In the afternoon, Li Delong and others were still studying the manufacturing process in the outer room, while Xu Jianguo returned to the inner room to start planning a new project.
