Eight o'clock in the morning, Institute 523.
Xu Jianguo arrived at his studio on time and continued his research and development work that had been stalled for several days.
Some previous events had delayed Xu Jianguo a lot of his time, causing the progress of his new R&D project to fall behind a lot.
This time he brought the two old men back from Jingzhou, and Yurong's problem has been resolved. There is nothing for him to worry about in the short term, so in the next period of time, he plans to complete the unfinished work and strive to produce samples for testing before the end of the year.
The project that Xu Jianguo developed this time was not weapons or tactical equipment, but something he came up with on a whim, individual rations.
The reason why he thought of this was because once in the space, five little guys took out a box of self-heating rice from the supermarket and asked him what it was with curiosity on their faces.
Xu Jianguo had no choice but to demonstrate it to them himself. When it only took him more than ten minutes to put a steaming hot tomato beef brisket rice in front of the five people, the little ones immediately looked at their brother and father with admiration.
As experienced foodies, Funiu and Wenwen were so excited that they drooled when they smelled the rich aroma of the food.
Seeing the five little guys taking turns eating the tomato and beef brisket rice in the box, and influenced by their professional habits, Xu Jianguo's eyes suddenly lit up. He suddenly decided to focus his future research and development projects on individual soldier rations.
In his new project research and development plan, there are two main directions.
One is individual rations mainly consisting of self-heating rice.
The second type is solid beverages mainly consisting of vitamin effervescent tablets.
As for compressed biscuits, they were not part of his research plan.
The reason why Xu Jianguo included effervescent tablets in his plan was because when he went to visit Wu Dajiang at the labor camp, he inadvertently brought up the events on the North Korean battlefield.
According to Wu Dajiang, in the first five battles to assist North Korea in fighting against the United States, the soldiers of Longxia suffered from night blindness, which also caused our soldiers to suffer a lot in night battles.
The reason why the soldiers suffered from night blindness was due to a monotonous diet and long-term lack of vitamin A. At that time, due to insufficient domestic productivity and limited medical conditions, it was extremely difficult to completely cure this disease.
Later, the army chief heard from somewhere that eating wild vegetables could supplement vitamin A, so he mobilized the officers and soldiers of the entire army, calling on everyone to dig more wild vegetables when they had no missions.
As a result, a large number of soldiers were poisoned by wild vegetables, which made the leaders of the army very worried and they were criticized by the central government.
The military doctors also received a strict order from their superiors to solve the problem of night blindness at all costs. Even if it could not be solved, as long as they could come up with a way to alleviate the problem, their superiors would personally recommend them for credit.
That's how it was. All the military doctors on the battlefield in North Korea were mobilized. Finally, it was a military doctor named Zhang who discovered that boiling pine needles or the inner bark of pine trees into water and giving it to the soldiers to drink could temporarily relieve night blindness.
It was precisely because of Wu Dajiang’s words that Xu Jianguo was reminded of something in his previous life, VC effervescent tablets.
This effervescent tablet contains a large amount of vitamin C and can dissolve on its own by simply placing it in water. It is very suitable for soldiers to replenish the trace elements needed by the body when fighting or training in the field.
Since vitamin C can be incorporated into effervescent tablets, it should not be difficult to develop an effervescent tablet that meets the requirements of vitamin C.
So after Xu Jianguo determined the new direction, he immediately began research.
So far, the research and development of the two new individual equipment has been nearing completion, and only the special tableware and food packaging bags for use with individual rations are still under design.
This is because under the current manufacturing technology and the current situation, plastic products cannot be produced on a large scale for the time being, so he must equip this self-heating food with special tableware and outer packaging that meets current production conditions.
In order to complete the research as quickly as possible, Xu Jianguo also specially found many professional books through the space library, and would stay in the study to study when he had nothing to do.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
In the past few days, in addition to working and reading, Xu Jianguo has spent most of his time with his family. At the same time, he is also waiting for the follow-up development of the matter, wanting to see the reactions of all parties to the Yurong incident, so as to determine his next action plan.
That day, Xu Jianguo called over Li Delong and several others who had followed him at first, wanting to discuss the manufacturing process of the product with them.
As a result, just after the meeting, before anyone had time to take a sip, the phone on his desk rang.
Xu Jianguo was slightly stunned, and with some guesses in his mind, he quickly walked to the desk, raised his hand to answer the phone and said, "Hello, this is Xu Jianguo!"
"Jianguo, when you get off work, go home and tell Xiaowen that you're going to the old leader's house for dinner tonight!" Ma Guoliang's voice came from the phone.
"Okay!"
"Do I need to prepare anything?"
"No need, the old chief said no drinking tonight!"
"Ah? Why?" Hearing Ma Guoliang say this, Xu Jianguo's heart moved slightly, but he still asked.
"Something happened in Jingzhou. It's not convenient to talk about the details over the phone. Let's talk about it when we meet tonight!"
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jianguo sat down on a chair, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then lit a cigarette for himself and smoked it slowly.
He began to think about the chain reactions that this incident would cause. After thinking about several possibilities, Xu Jianguo's brows gradually relaxed.
He looked at the time, then put out the cigarette in his hand, put on his military cap, picked up his backpack, left the studio, and drove towards the kindergarten.
As soon as he parked the car, Xu Jianguo saw Wen Sitian waiting at the kindergarten gate with Lele in her arms.
