No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, after getting up, Xu Jianguo looked at his eldest son curiously for a while, then kissed Wen Sitian gently on the forehead, and then ran to the yard to exercise.
After breakfast, Xu Jianguo left home, drove to the headquarters, and sat in the car waiting for Ma Guoliang to arrive.
Based on the previous conversation, he knew that the equipment tester sent by the old man should have arrived by now, but he was on vacation yesterday, so he had to come to the headquarters this morning to inquire about the situation.
After waiting for a while, the jeep driven by Tai Wei stopped next to Xu Jianguo's car, and Ma Guoliang opened the back door and got out.
"Hey, why are you coming to me instead of going to 523?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"I just wanted to ask you about the test. I was on vacation yesterday, and you said the test would be conducted overnight. I waited for a whole day but didn't get a call!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Well, the train had some problems on the way, and it was not picked up until early this morning. Let's start the testing in the afternoon!" Ma Guoliang said.
"Where are the other workers?" Xu Jianguo continued to ask.
"They will probably arrive tonight or tomorrow morning. When they arrive, I will notify you to meet them." Ma Guoliang said.
"Okay, no problem. I'll go back to the research institute first." Xu Jianguo said.
"Okay, go ahead, and don't let me down!" Ma Guoliang instructed.
"Don't worry, it won't happen!" After Xu Jianguo said that, he jumped into the jeep and drove away.
When they arrived at the small workshop of the 523 Institute, Li Delong and his companions had not arrived yet. Xu Jianguo opened the padlock and entered the door. He first took out the new equipment samples that had been manufactured previously from the space and put them into a wooden box that he had specially asked the Ordnance Department for.
"Five bulletproof vests, five pairs of explosion-proof military boots, three pistols and daggers..." Xu Jianguo muttered softly as he put things away.
Xu Jianguo made special marks on the map in his mind for these samples placed in the wooden boxes. In addition to these samples, he also left a few extra ones in the space to prevent any unexpected situations.
In the morning, Xu Jianguo did not assign any other work to Li Delong and the others. He just told them about the test and that they would soon be the team leaders.
The six people had very different reactions after hearing this. Li Delong and Liu Yong's eyes lit up and they were eager to try, while the other four younger ones were worried, fearing that they would not be able to do it.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo encouraged them and told them that they only needed to instruct other workers according to the construction techniques he taught them.
Finally, Li Delong was in charge of the work of the low-light night vision device and tactical helmet manufacturing team, and Li Yong was in charge of the work of the fragmentation grenade, magnetic grenade and remote-controlled bomb manufacturing team.
The remaining four people are responsible for the work of the individual anti-tank missile, bulletproof vest, explosion-proof military boots and pistol and dagger manufacturing teams.
After assigning tasks to everyone, Xu Jianguo no longer paid attention to them and let them move freely. He then returned to the inner room, found the blueprint and started drawing on it.
Ma Guoliang had promised him before that when the weather got warmer, he would build a few more rooms behind the small workshop, and then connect all the rooms to expand the usable area of the small workshop.
What Xu Jianguo is drawing now is the new plan for the small workshop.
Soon, it was afternoon. Xu Jianguo had already drawn the architectural drawings and was staring blankly at the enamel pot.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. He put the teacup on the table, quickly stood up, answered the phone and said, "Hello, this is Xu Jianguo!"
"Jianguo, the people in charge of testing have arrived at 523. Pei Zhiwei has arranged them in the conference room. I will be there soon. You should go over too!" Ma Guoliang's voice came from the receiver.
"Yes, I'll be there now!" Xu Jianguo said, and then hung up the phone. Then he conveyed a message to Du Yu through his mind, asking her to tell Wen Sitian that he had a mission in the evening and would not be home for dinner.
Although his home also has a telephone, it is time for the little one to take a nap, so he is worried that calling home will wake the little one up.
After contacting Du Yu, Xu Jianguo picked up his bag, walked to the outer room, said something to Li Delong and others, and left quickly.
After waiting for a while downstairs of the institute's office building, Xu Jianguo saw Ma Guoliang's jeep driving in from the gate.
"Let's go!" Ma Guoliang said to Xu Jianguo after getting off the car.
"Yes!" Xu Jianguo agreed, and then he and Tai Wei followed Ma Guoliang into the office building.
There were more than 20 people sitting in the conference room at this time. Pei Zhiwei was talking in a low voice with a middle-aged man in his fifties. At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and Ma Guoliang walked in with Xu Jianguo and Tai Wei.
Seeing this, everyone in the conference room quickly stood up from their chairs.
"Report to the commander, the testers for the new equipment have arrived. There should be 27 people, and there are actually 27 people. Please give instructions!" Pei Zhiwei came to Ma Guoliang, stood at attention and saluted.
"Please take a seat, everyone!" Ma Guoliang raised his hand in return.
Ma Guoliang walked to the main seat and stood, then said, "Comrades, I believe you already know the mission this time. Without further ado, let me introduce you to the developer of this new equipment, Colonel Xu Jianguo."
As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the conference room. Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly took a step forward and walked to Ma Guoliang, then raised his hand and saluted everyone.
Ma Guoliang pressed his hands down, turned to Xu Jianguo and said, "Jianguo, please say a few words. You are the developer of the new equipment. Please tell us in advance what we need to pay attention to during the test to avoid any problems during the test."
"Yes!" Xu Jianguo answered.
