After lunch, Xu Jianguo made a pot of tea for the two old men, and then sat on the sofa to chat with him.
At this time, Su Dingshan said, "Old man, come with me later and stay with me for a few days!"
Wu Tianlong thought about it, shook his head and said, "I won't go today. Let's celebrate the New Year. I'll come to your house during the New Year!"
Su Dingshan nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll pick you up then!"
"Okay!" said Wu Tianlong.
"Boy, I called the relevant department yesterday. The materials you applied for before have been shipped. It is estimated that they will arrive in Binhai in the next two days. When do you plan to go back?" Su Dingshan looked at Xu Jianguo and asked.
Xu Jianguo said, "Since Grandpa Wu's illness is almost cured, I plan to go back tomorrow and try to make the sample before the New Year!"
"Okay, that's what I mean. There are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you the truth. The situation in the west is becoming more and more unstable. India and Du have crossed our border several times. Although they were driven back by our people in the end, the anger of the people on both sides is getting higher and higher. The higher-ups are worried about the risk of accidental shootings!" Su Dingshan said solemnly.
"Grandpa, what do you need me to do?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"The two guns you made before have started mass production, but they will not be equipped to the troops on a large scale in the early stage. The superiors mean that if the situation in the west gets out of control, then the Indus will become the first batch of test subjects for the new weapons! And the project you reported later will also play a key role in the local war, so I hope you can complete it as soon as possible!" Su Dingshan said.
After listening to this, Xu Jianguo stood up from the sofa and said, "Don't worry, old man, I promise to complete the task!"
The reason why he dared to make this guarantee was because the space had the function of adjusting the time flow rate by 120 times, but if he did so, he could only do it independently.
As for Li Delong and the other six people in the workshop, they can be allowed to work normally, just to lay the foundation for the future.
"Okay! From now on, you can report directly to me regarding the research and development of new weapons. You don't have to worry about your commander. I have already given him orders to provide him with the people and materials he needs!" Su Dingshan said.
"I understand!" Xu Jianguo replied.
"Little guy, I have old subordinates in the General Staff's Armament and Equipment Planning Department. If there's anything you can't solve, you can call me. Although I've retired, I still have some face."
When Xu Jianguo heard this, his eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Wu Tianlong, who had retired for so long, still had such energy. He had to make good use of it.
"Okay, thank you Grandpa Wu!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
Wu Tianlong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "There's not much I can do, but I will definitely spare no effort to help you, old man!"
"Yeah!" Xu Jianguo nodded vigorously, then looked at Su Dingshan and said, "Grandpa, can you ask someone to help me ask if there is a train back to Binhai today? If there is, I'll leave tonight!"
Su Dingshan was stunned and said, "No, kid, I don't mean to send you back. There's no rush. It will be the same if you leave tomorrow!"
"I understand. Mainly because if the materials can arrive in the next two days, I still have some things to prepare, so I want to go back as soon as possible!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
Su Dingshan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, don't blame me for being anxious. The main thing is that the situation is really not optimistic!"
"No, I understand everything!" Xu Jianguo said.
Su Dingshan nodded, called He Hongliang in, and after giving him a few instructions, let him leave.
Half an hour later, He Hongliang walked in and said, "Chief, the railway has some spare tickets. I've asked them to reserve them for the 4 p.m. train!"
"Boy, do you really want to leave tonight?" Su Dingshan confirmed again.
"Well, let's go tonight!" Xu Jianguo nodded.
"Okay, then you come with me later. I'll take you to the station. When your new project is completed, I'll personally recommend you for the award!" Su Dingshan said, then thought for a moment and continued, "Originally, you should have been rewarded for designing two new guns, but I held back. After all, these two guns haven't been tested in battle. Although I believe in your ability, there are many people you can't imagine, waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. If your projects this time can play a role on the battlefield, it will be equivalent to shutting everyone up. Then it will be a natural and logical thing to reward you!"
"Grandpa, I understand the principle. I feel completely relieved to have you help me arrange it!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Haha, okay!" Su Dingshan said with a smile.
Before he knew it, it was past two in the afternoon. After Su Dingshan finished his tea, he said, "Boy, it's almost time. We should set off!"
"Okay!" Xu Jianguo stood up and said.
Wu Tianlong also stood up from the sofa with his cane and walked the two of them to the entrance of the yard. He patted Xu Jianguo on the shoulder and said, "Little guy, as the saying goes, great favors are never too good to be thanked. If you need Grandpa Wu in the future, just come find me!"
"Grandpa Wu, don't worry. If anyone dares to bully me, I will definitely report you!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll support you when the time comes!" Wu Tianlong said with a big laugh.
"By the way, remember to arrange someone to get the prescription I left for you. Be sure to take it on time. It can speed up your recovery!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Okay, I understand! Let's go and have a safe journey!" Wu Tianlong nodded.
"Yes, goodbye, Grandpa Wu!" Xu Jianguo raised his hand and saluted Wu Tianlong, then got into the car.
Su Dingshan sat in the back seat, waved to his old comrade, and then told the guard Liang Tian to drive.
Wu Tianlong stood at the gate of the yard, watching the back of the car going away, with a lot of emotions in his heart. Who would have thought that three days ago he was still a useless person sitting in a wheelchair all day long and saw no hope, but three days later he was able to get rid of the wheelchair and become a normal person. Others may not know, but Wu Tianlong himself knew. On the surface, it seemed that Xu Jianguo had only cured his legs, but from another perspective, this was tantamount to giving him a second life.
"Oh, I owe you a huge favor. I'll pay it back slowly in the future!" Wu Tianlong said to himself, and returned to the house with a cane.
