Chapter 196 Flame Retardant Fiber
Lu Liangchen took several steps back in disgust and said firmly, "Comrade Lin Meihua, you're married, and I'm about to get married too. I don't intend to let a third person interfere with my marriage. Please respect yourself and others."
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Lin Meihua's heart.
Her expression instantly twisted, her eyes filled with resentment: "Lu Liangchen, you actually rejected me like this, I will make you regret it!"
She lowered her voice more and more as she spoke, with a malicious tone.
"Neither you nor Jiang Haitang will have a good ending. Just wait and see. The military project..."
Lu Liangchen's heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"
However, Lin Meihua had already turned and left, her back as thin as a dead bamboo, full of despair and madness.
After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and said in a voice as soft as a venomous snake: "You must be careful..."
"stop!"
Lu Liangchen was about to catch up to find out what was going on when Xiao Taozi suddenly ran over and hugged his legs.
Little Peach cried, "Dad, my kite is stuck in a tree!"
When Lu Liangchen helped his daughter take down the kite and looked back, Lin Meihua had disappeared.
But her threat was like a thorn, deeply embedded in Lu Liangchen's heart, making him unable to feel at ease.
Lu Liangchen took Xiao Taozi and did not go home directly, but went to find Zhao Kai.
After hearing what Lu Liangchen said, Zhao Kai frowned.
"I suspect that He Qiliang and Lin Meihua will take action against Haitang." Lu Liangchen said worriedly.
He knew in his heart that with Lin Meihua's current crazy state, it was unlikely that they would attack the military project, but the probability of them attacking Jiang Haitang was very high.
Lu Liangchen secretly swore in his heart that he would never allow anything to happen to Jiang Haitang.
"Captain, I will arrange someone to protect my sister-in-law." Zhao Kai said seriously.
"It's not easy to ask the comrades in the security department for this matter. You can contact those who have retired from the army and have good skills. I will pay their salaries." Lu Liangchen said decisively.
Zhao Kai nodded. "I understand, Captain. Don't worry. I happen to have a suitable candidate and will contact him right away. Until the person arrives, let's have the security department keep an eye on him for a few days."
"That's what I mean." Lu Liangchen said in agreement.
During dinner, Lu Liangchen was absent-minded, with a frown on his face. He looked at Jiang Haitang from time to time, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Jiang Haitang handed him a piece of braised pork and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is the meal I cooked tonight not tasty?"
Lu Liangchen hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "I met Lin Meihua today. She wasn't in a good state and said some crazy things... Haitang, I'm worried that she might attack you. You should be careful when you go out recently."
After thinking about it, he felt that Lin Meihua had lost her mind. People like her would probably do things without considering the consequences.
He couldn't afford any possible risks, so he could only prepare for the future and have someone protect Jiang Haitang first.
Jiang Haitang put down his chopsticks, his expression serious: "Did she threaten you?"
"Yeah." Lu Liangchen didn't hide it. "She mentioned the military project, but I think she has a hidden agenda. She might want to take action against you."
Although Jiang Haitang thought it was ridiculous, if a woman was paranoid because of her emotions, she would do anything, so Jiang Haitang herself would not take it lightly.
"I'll be careful!"
"I've already told Zhao Kai about this situation. Zhao Kai will arrange for someone to protect you. Try to stay in the factory these days."
Jiang Haitang agreed, but suddenly remembered where Lin Meihua's resentment towards her came from, and glared at Lu Liangchen in reproach.
"It seems that being too attractive isn't a good thing. Director Lu, you're a beauty who brings disaster!"
Lu Liangchen was amused by her, and his nervousness eased a little. He squeezed her hand and said, "You're naughty again!"
However, although the atmosphere temporarily eased, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Jiang Haitang lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
She tossed and turned, the image of Lin Meihua constantly appearing in her mind. She kept saying vicious and cursing words over and over again. A strong sense of uneasiness surged into Jiang Haitang's heart. She vaguely felt that danger seemed to be approaching step by step.
In the days that followed, she exercised more diligently every day. Regardless of whether there was someone to protect her or not, she knew in her heart that the most important thing was to have the ability to protect herself, so that she would have the strength to fight against unknown dangers.
In the next few days, Jiang Haitang ran between home and the laboratory every day and never went outside the factory.
Lu Liangchen was just the opposite of Jiang Haitang. He found various excuses to hang out outside the factory every day.
He hoped to attract all the potential dangers to himself so as to ensure Jiang Haitang's safety.
However, no one attacked him. Even though Lu Liangchen was very sensitive, he did not feel any risk around him.
That day, when Lu Liangchen came back from outside, he was holding a bunch of wild flowers in his hand and handed them to Jiang Haitang who was still working at the desk doing calculations.
"Haitang, take a break and don't push yourself too hard."
Jiang Haitang finally came back to his senses from work and rubbed his aching neck. "You're back? Oh, it's getting dark so soon?"
She looked at the bunch of lavender wild flowers and felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect Lu Liangchen could be so romantic. Although they were just some wild flowers, a man who wanted to bring wild flowers to a woman was indeed very romantic.
She happily found a glass canning jar, carefully placed the wild flowers in the jar, and then placed it on her desk, tilting her head to admire it for a long time.
"So beautiful, Liangchen, thank you!"
"As long as you like it." Lu Liangchen felt very happy when he saw Jiang Haitang liked it so much.
"I'll pick some flowers for you when I see them next time I go out."
Jiang Haitang said hurriedly, "That's not necessary. You're a factory director, and you're always philandering. It wouldn't be good if the workers saw you."
Lu Liangchen couldn't help but pinched her face and said, "Isn't it all to please you? You still despise me for being a philanderer. Is the word philandering so bold?"
Jiang Haitang smiled with her hands covering her mouth, tenderness in her eyes and brows. Seeing this, Lu Liangchen couldn't help but hugged Jiang Haitang in his arms and kissed her hard.
On Monday morning, Jiang Haitang arrived at the factory half an hour early and went straight to Secretary Tan's office.
"Secretary Tan, I will give you a periodic report." She briefly explained the group's research direction and preliminary results.
Secretary Tan, as the Party Secretary of the factory, no longer takes care of specific affairs, but the factory team is not complete and there are few people needed. As an old revolutionary, he has to charge forward again and be responsible for the research of military materials.
After listening to the report, he took off his reading glasses and said thoughtfully, "Xiao Jiang, your idea is very good. The country is currently advocating 'grasping revolution and promoting production,' and technological innovation is exactly what we need. However, is it feasible to replace the old materials with new ones?"
Jiang Haitang immediately assured: "Secretary, it is completely feasible. After the samples arrived, we conducted experiments."
The experiment was much more successful than Jiang Haitang had expected.
"This is a new type of foreign fabric we just got. This fabric needs to have three properties: fireproof, wear-resistant and breathable. Perhaps it can give you some inspiration." Secretary Tan took out a brown paper bag from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Haitang.
After Jiang Haitang opened it, there was a piece of army green cloth inside. She took out the cloth and gently stroked the surface with her fingers.
This fabric has a special feel, neither like pure cotton nor like chemical fiber, the warp and weft threads are arranged closely yet still soft.
She stood up and said, "Secretary Tan, we will do our best to produce fabric that meets the standards."
After dinner, Jiang Haitang took care of Xiao Taozi and went to sleep before returning to her room. She sat at the desk and took out the military fabric to study it.
Lu Liangchen brought a cup of hot water, his eyes lingered on the fabric for a moment, but he said nothing and just closed the door gently.
In the following days, Jiang Haitang devoted himself to the research of military fabrics. Although Secretary Tan only gave him a small piece of fabric, it undoubtedly gave Jiang Haitang and his research team a goal and direction to strive for.
"Traditional cotton fabrics simply don't meet fire-resistant requirements," Zhou Xiaomei said dejectedly after her third failed experiment. "Even if we treat them with flame retardants, they lose their effectiveness after a few washes."
Jiang Haitang flipped through the experimental records, frowning. "Perhaps we should change our thinking and start with the raw materials to find a better flame-retardant fiber."
Finding new flame-retardant fibers is not an easy task. In the laboratory, Jiang Haitang once again took a piece of fiber from the cloth and started the experiment.
By comparing the data one by one, Jiang Haitang advanced the research bit by bit. The process was very slow, but no one in the group gave up. Instead, they went all out and gave 120% effort.
Jiang Haitang came home later and later.
Knowing that she had someone to protect her, Jiang Haitang was not worried about being in danger, but she also felt that it would not be a good thing to be like this all the time.
As the saying goes, there is a thief who steals for a thousand days, but you can never guard against thieves for a thousand days.
It’s impossible that we will need someone to protect us when we travel in the future, right?
After much deliberation, Jiang Haitang decided that after this experiment was over, he would discuss with Lu Liangchen how to lure the snake out of its hole.
As time went by, Jiang Haitang and everyone worked together and finally developed a new type of flame-retardant fiber.
The moment the experiment was successful, joyful sounds broke out in the laboratory.
Zhou Xiaomei hugged Jiang Haitang excitedly.
"Haitang, Engineer Jiang, this is great! We succeeded, finally succeeded."
Jiang Haitang also breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried. The experiment was indeed successful, but after this flame-retardant fiber was actually used for prevention, it was still unknown whether it could play the role they expected.
