The two people being discussed have now returned to Haibi Village.
Lu Qiuying is coming to handle matters at the port.
Xiao Jinze is coming to inspect the area and will also draw up a planning map for Haixian County.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the sunlight shining on the sea is so dazzling that it's hard to look directly at it.
The port's sunshades are still being installed, and walking on the concrete avenue is like being in a steamer.
Lin Ziyan held the lemon tea with ice and drank half a bag before she felt alive again.
Lu Qiuying: "Why did Grandma send you out to run errands with me?"
"On such a hot day, it would be so much better to stay in the office with the air conditioning on."
Lin Ziyan's lips twitched slightly as she pointed to her eyes, "Look, you're almost bleeding from staying up so long."
Lu Qiuying then noticed that Lin Ziyan's eyes were bloodshot.
There was also a deep dark shadow under his eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, finally someone my brother can't control," Lu Qiuying teased.
The two walked toward the completed dock, and a humid sea breeze swept by, taking away much of the heat in the air.
The closer you get to the seawater, the more refreshing it feels.
“He can endure even more than I can, otherwise why would he be researching machines?” Lin Ziyan shook her head and laughed.
She used to think she was a workaholic enough, but she never expected Lu Yun Shen to be even more so.
Professor Wu raises questions, and he solves them.
They managed to reduce the defect rate of high-density parts to a minimum.
Lu Qiuying, "..."
Lin Ziyan couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Professor Wu's disheveled appearance when she left.
They practically forced a professor from a design institute to become a blue-collar worker.
At this time,
Professor Wu couldn't help but sneeze while he was in the factory.
"Old Wu, if you can't handle it, step aside and let me have a turn." Old He couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes gleaming.
“Who’s not good enough? Wasn’t it me who made this basket of parts?” Professor Wu immediately retorted.
"You think you're so great? You're only fit to scrape coral off the seabed," he continued to retort.
Old Man He suddenly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to fight.
Grandma Lan looked at the two of them speechlessly. They were over a hundred years old combined, yet they were still so childish.
"What, you want to fight? I'm not afraid of you." Professor Wu took off his goggles and continued to argue.
Old Man He was so angry that his chest heaved, and he glared at him, unable to utter a single word.
Grandma Lan picked up the thermos and handed it over.
"I'm already furious, why would I want hot tea?" Old Man He said in a very aggressive tone.
Grandma Lan threw the thermos into his arms and said coldly,
"It's best if you're furious, then you'll save on rice."
Old Man He felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water in the dead of winter, chilled to the bone.
He reached out to take the thermos, his palm burning.
Professor Wu looked up at them and suddenly felt very full.
He operated the machine slowly and deliberately, casually remarking, "It smells sour and foul."
Old Man He's cheeks turned red with anger, and he said through gritted teeth,
"Better than your body odor."
Grandma Lan ignored the two of them and continued editing the drawing.
She's practically a ghostwriter for mechanical drawings now.
Professor Wu stopped, walked to the side, picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed it, and drank.
He's been holed up here for the past few days, and he's almost forgotten the main reason he came here.
He slapped his forehead. "Comrade Lan, are you selling your student's design drawings?"
"I applied to the research institute to buy it at a high price."
Grandma Lan said, "Stop dreaming. In a little while, the finished product of that design will be built."
Professor Wu stared at her, so he came to see nothing?
"Where's Xiao Lu? I haven't seen him today." Professor Wu looked around but didn't see Lu Yunshen.
Old Man He gave a soft snort and continued to look at the machine, but he didn't dare to touch it.
These precision machines are delicate; they can break down easily.
"He went to the city," Grandma Lan replied casually without looking up.
Professor Wu scratched his head, sat down in the chair next to him, and hesitated to speak.
He came here mainly to look at the design drawings. Manufacturing has already begun, but he doesn't know that and is worried about how to explain it when he gets back.
The other experts from Beijing didn't have this problem, since they came specifically for the machines.
"Tsk, old man Wu, you're still so thin-skinned." Old man He turned his head and saw his complicated expression, his lips twitching.
Professor Wu ignored him, coughed a few times, and then spoke, "Comrade Lan, may I go and take a look at the manufacturing workshop?"
Grandma Lan put down her pen. "I thought you had completely forgotten about this."
As the group walked out of the workshop, they suddenly heard a loud "boom".
They thought it was thunder and didn't think much of it.
A mushroom cloud shot into the sky.
Thick smoke billowed, accompanied by the sound of explosions.
It kept coming from the new port.
People from the seafood market and the electronics store rushed out, their eyes filled with worry upon seeing the thick smoke.
"Something happened at the port?" Aunt Wang suddenly said.
The explosions at the port were still ongoing.
Lu Qiuying and Lin Ziyan hid underwater near the shore, gripping the handles of the iron ladder tightly.
Deafening explosions continued, and workers working on the port construction site scattered to take cover.
Several workers followed their example and hid underwater near the shore.
A wave of scorching heat rushed towards them, and they all held their breath and hid underwater.
Once the heatwave subsided, the explosions stopped.
"save……"
"My legs..."
"Quickly pull him away..."
The cacophony gradually entered Lin Ziyan's ears, breaking her tinnitus.
A wave crashed over her from behind, filling her ears with more water.
"Ayan, let's get ashore quickly." Lu Qiuying realized what was happening, her lips trembling.
