Lin Chuchu got off the plane and saw Mu Chen waiting for her.
Lin Chuchu turned around and glanced at everyone. "You really aren't coming back with me? My house is big enough for all of you to stay."
Researcher Tian chuckled, "We won't bother you, absence makes the heart grow fonder, you know... Awoo..."
He screamed and doubled over in pain.
Researcher Hou withdrew his hand expressionlessly.
"He's having a fit, just ignore him."
"The base gave us a letter of introduction and booked rooms, so we won't waste the time."
Zhou Lichen said.
"Alright then, I'm not going to bother with you guys anymore. Have fun these next few days, and we'll get together again on the day of the exchange meeting."
Lin Chuchu walked towards Mu Chen, and Mu Chen nodded to the people behind her.
Then she gently said to Lin Chuchu, "Let's go home. Grandma knows you came back today and made a lot of food, all of which are your favorites."
This trip was relatively short, and Lin Chuchu hadn't yet felt particularly homesick.
When the two returned home, Lin Chuchu was welcomed by her family, especially her two children.
Kindergarten was on holiday, and the two little ones picked up their mother from home.
Lin Chuchu quickly hugged the two little ones.
After playing together for a while, the family sat down to eat. After finishing his meal, Mr. Mu took the food to Mrs. Mu.
Mu Chen took the afternoon off, so he was able to stay home with Lin Chuchu.
"I've heard about your conference. Apparently, a research group developed an engine that can run at 180 mph. I don't know if it's true."
Mu Chen and his police station also received the security assignment for the exchange meeting.
Naturally, one will have some understanding of communication.
Lin Chuchu was taken aback. "Are you going?"
Mu Chen nodded, "Go ahead, the task specially assigned by the director has fallen to our police station, and most of us will participate."
Lin Chuchu couldn't help but laugh. Since that was the case, she decided to keep it a secret for now and surprise Mu Chen at the exchange meeting.
Unaware of Lin Chuchu's thoughts, Mu Chen continued to ramble on about his vision for the newly modified vehicle.
Mu Chen also likes cars, and when he was abroad, he saw sedans that were much faster than those in China.
At that time, I wondered when China would be able to produce cars that were better than those from foreign countries.
I never expected my wish to come true so quickly.
"Once the new engine goes into production, our bureau will definitely have vehicles like that, and criminals won't be able to escape when we catch them."
Cars used to be too slow, sometimes even slower than motorcycles, which was a common complaint among people.
Lin Chuchu twitched her lips, realizing that the other person was telling the truth.
Before they knew it, the day of the exchange meeting arrived. The guards came to pick up Lin Chuchu. The exchange meeting was held in the square around the military region. When they arrived, there were already quite a few people there.
The base name written on their clothes immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
A leader walked up to the group, and Researcher Hou went to greet him.
Researcher Hou communicated with the group on behalf of several people.
After all, he was the most composed.
The leader smiled and said, "You've finally arrived. Now we're just waiting for you."
They weren't late; others just arrived earlier than them.
Researcher Hou shook hands with the other party and said, "Sorry, sir, I didn't expect everyone to arrive so early."
Soon, Lin Chuchu and the others were led to chairs with their base written on them.
The leader did not rush to leave, but stayed to talk with the others.
They were subtly trying to gather information through their words.
Seeing how enthusiastic the leader was towards them, some people became unhappy.
“A bunch of young people who think they're all that just because they've achieved a little success. We'll teach them a lesson they won’t forget.”
The speaker was in his fifties, with a gray mustache, a disdainful look in his eyes, and the arrogance of a researcher.
Standing next to him was a young man, probably in his thirties, who appeared quite humble and polite.
Lin Chuchu and the other three all looked over, wondering why this person was hostile towards them.
Upon seeing the name badges on their chests, Lin Chuchu realized that these two were the researchers working on the next level of engines.
When trouble comes knocking, how can you not fight back?
Researcher Tian chuckled, "We certainly won't be like some people who refuse to admit defeat and insist on holding some kind of exchange meeting to humiliate themselves."
His voice was a little rude, even though he knew it was a topic they both dreaded, he still insisted on bringing it up.
The middle-aged man, surnamed Yang, said with a smile, "Researching engines is not easy. I did put in a lot of effort to increase the speed to 80 miles per hour. My teacher was also worried about the engine's performance being unstable, so he proposed the experiment. After all, national resources are limited, and whatever we make must be the best."
They spoke politely, but everyone present knew that the data Lin Chuchu's base had previously reported was also 80 miles per hour.
If they have the same speed, then it depends on which one has the best performance.
Researcher Tian said in a low voice, "Naturally, I'm also very curious about which engine performs better."
"I just hope that someone will be willing to accept defeat when the time comes, after all, time cannot be wasted."
Upon hearing this, the other party showed no anger whatsoever; instead, they appeared magnanimous.
It was as if the other side had already won.
Lin Chuchu's car required more assembly, and since Researcher Yang was the final one to present, both cars were placed last.
There were a total of eight vehicles present. Apart from two vehicles belonging to national research bases, the rest were sent by various local organizations.
The speeds were all about the same, around 50 or 60 miles per hour, but one of them was the most eye-catching, reaching 72 miles per hour, almost 80 miles per hour.
