After picking up the phone, Ma Guoliang's voice rang out from the receiver: "Jianguo, I knew you would arrive early!"
Xu Jianguo smiled and said, "Commander, what's the matter?"
"I just received a call from Cao Dejiang, saying that he has completed the filling work and can conduct the test today. I will come to your place first, and then we will go to the shooting range together!" Ma Guoliang said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Okay!" Ma Guoliang hung up the phone after he said that, but Xu Jianguo's brows frowned even deeper.
After a moment, he thought to himself, "It doesn't matter. It's just a 30-day outage. As long as the project doesn't go wrong, everything else is a small matter. I'll just have to put my wife through some hard times!"
After adjusting his mentality, Xu Jianguo's originally depressed mood improved a lot. After hanging his backpack on the clothes hanger, he put the night vision goggles parts he had made yesterday back in place, and then sat on the chair, waiting for others to arrive.
After a while, the voices of Li Delong and others were heard from the outer room, and Xu Jianguo stood up and walked out.
After everyone greeted each other, Xu Jianguo said, "We'll put this morning's work on hold. The filling work at the Military Research Institute has been completed. Come with me to the shooting range later to see the results of our work!"
"Yes, Mr. Xu!" When they heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they answered.
"Haha, I can finally see the sample test. I've been waiting for a long time!"
"That's right, we've been busy for almost two months, and the results are finally coming out!"
"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to the looks we'll get from the other masters when they find out our experiment was successful. They're sure to be super envious!"
"Hahaha……"
The six people were chatting and laughing there, full of anticipation for the samples they made.
Xu Jianguo coughed and continued, "Alright, the commander will be here soon, so hurry up and clean up!"
"Okay!" Several people agreed, but the smiles on their faces did not disappear. Instead, they started their respective work with full enthusiasm.
It was half past eight in the morning. Xu Jianguo, who was sitting in the inner room, heard a car horn outside the small workshop. He stood up and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang, deputy commander of the Binhai base, getting out of the jeep.
Xu Jianguo walked up quickly, raised his hand to salute the two men, and said, "Commander! Deputy Commander!"
After the two raised their hands to return the greeting, they looked at Xu Jianguo with a smile. Dong Jixiang said, "Jianguo, I've only been away for further studies for more than two months. I didn't expect you to make such a big move again!"
"Chief, isn't this what I should do?" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Old Dong, don't look at this kid who is usually quiet. He might make a big noise for us one day!" Ma Guoliang said with a smile.
"Haha, this is what they call if you don't make a sound, you will be amazing when you do!" Dong Jixiang said with a smile.
Xu Jianguo listened to the commander and deputy commander of the base talking to each other, but did not say anything. He just stood aside and laughed.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Ma Guoliang said, "It's almost time. Cao Dejiang has already led his men there. Let's set off too!"
"Okay!" said Dong Jixiang.
"Yes!" Xu Jianguo also answered, and then waved to Li Delong and others standing in the distance.
After locking the door of the small workshop, they got on the big truck of the guards. Since Dong Jixiang's guard was also there, Xu Jianguo also ran onto the truck and squeezed in with Li Delong and others.
Twenty minutes later, the jeeps and trucks stopped near the Binhai base shooting range. After everyone jumped out of the car, they quickly came to Ma Guoliang.
When they arrived at the shooting range, Cao Dejiang and the staff of the Weapon Research Institute were busy in the bombing area. The staff were holding tape measures and notebooks, constantly measuring and recording data in the venue.
Xu Jianguo looked at the scene in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not find anything wrong.
After greeting Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang, he walked towards where the samples were stored.
At this time, the people from the ordnance department of the Binhai base were guarding the samples. When they saw Xu Jianguo coming over, they all greeted him.
After Xu Jianguo responded one by one, he turned his attention to the wooden box containing the test samples. After obtaining the consent of the chief of the ordnance department, he raised his hand, opened the lid of the box, and looked at the samples in the box.
"The quantity is correct, but where does the problem lie?" Xu Jianguo thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking, Tai Wei's voice came from behind him: "Jianguo, go over, the test is about to begin!"
Xu Jianguo closed the box lid, turned around and said, "Okay!"
The two walked back to the observation area, and Ma Guoliang said, "Jianguo, today's test will be conducted entirely by personnel from the Military Research Institute. We just need to observe. Do you have any other instructions?"
Xu Jianguo was slightly stunned and asked, "They come? Is that okay?"
"This is an order from our superiors. I don't know why. We just have to obey orders. However, similar situations have occurred when the Military Research Institute conducted tests in other research institutes before. There shouldn't be any problem!" Ma Guoliang said, but although he said this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The new weapons and equipment designed by Xu Jianguo were originally for soldiers to use. Only soldiers knew whether these new equipment were easy to use. But he didn't know what his superiors were thinking. They actually asked people from the Weapons Research Institute to conduct the tests. He really didn't understand.
After receiving the order, Ma Guoliang tried to contact his old leader to ask about the situation, but the person who answered the phone told him that Su Dingshan was out for inspection and his itinerary was confidential, so he could not contact him and could only choose to follow his superiors' orders.
After hearing the news, Xu Jianguo's heart moved slightly. His intuition told him that there must be a problem here, but he had not yet figured out where the problem lay.
Just as he was thinking about the problem, a voice from behind interrupted his thoughts: "Commander Ma, Deputy Commander Dong, we are ready here and can start the test!"
Xu Jianguo looked in the direction of the voice and found that the people coming were Cao Dejiang from the Military Research Institute and Liu Hong from the General Staff.
