As soon as the plane came to a stop, Xiao Gengwu took a long stride and quickly got off the plane. He saw Yao Tongjia in the distance and ran over without even taking his luggage.
But who was Yao Tongjia holding? Could it be his younger sister? But no, his mother was also holding a child's hand. Xiao Gengwu hesitated and felt a little scared.
His heart pounded. He didn't know how to face Yao Tongjia. He thought he would be back after just two months away.
However, after the rare earth metals were mined, they were required to manufacture fighter jets on the spot. Xiao Gengwu became interested in fighter jets and wanted to see what he could manufacture!
After he finished manufacturing the fighter jet, he saw a new report that the United States had also manufactured a new fighter jet, which seemed to be even more advanced than the one he had manufactured.
So he plunged into a new round of research, completely forgetting about time and everything around him, until he had built the new fighter jet.
The leaders were stunned. This man had upgraded the combat system twice in less than six months. How could they let him go back with such research capabilities?
So they presented Xiao Gengwu with a new research project to study again. Xiao Gengwu felt as if he had been away for a long time, and he wanted to go back to find Yao Tongjia.
But the leader cried to him, complaining that Chinese people were looked down upon and made unreasonable demands abroad, all because the country was not strong enough.
Xiao Gengwu thought of the time he was asked to undergo a naked search at the airport. Although he was not actually searched naked in the end, the feeling of being humiliated was very bad, and he never wanted to face it again.
So he stayed and studied the materials that were sent to him. Once he found one thing, he started doing another. Xiao Gengwu completely lost his sense of time. He seemed to be in the sky and did not feel the passage of time.
He always felt that he was about to go back, but day after day, month after month, he kept putting it off.
He worked on one project after another, and then one day when he looked up to rest, he accidentally saw the calendar and was shocked to find that it was December 1982.
He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked at it again and again. He even took the date to He Jiale and asked, "Jiale, Jiale, is this calendar wrong? How come it's already the end of 1982?"
He Jiale was bewildered by Xiao Gengwu's question: "Brother Xiao, the timing is correct. You haven't been too busy lately and have lost your mind, have you?"
When Xiao Gengwu received an affirmative answer, he was devastated and went to ask Yao Tongxu, "Is it really December 1982 now, Ah Xu?"
Yao Tongxu found Xiao Ge's question a little strange, but still answered honestly, "It was December 1982, Xiao Ge, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the affirmative answer, he was completely stunned. By that calculation, it had been two whole years since he left Tongtong, and it seemed that the two of them had lost contact during that time.
He hadn't given Yao Tongjia a single word, and Yao Tongjia hadn't come to see him either. He became scared because he remembered Yao Tongjia's indifference towards his father. Would he become the second Ruan Shengpeng?
Xiao Gengwu's hands trembled: "Has your sister contacted you?"
"How could there be any contact? Uncle Eagle used to bring us supplies, but then I don't know what happened, the supplies were all delivered by other people, and we lost contact with the outside world!"
Xiao Gengwu glanced at the research in his hands: "We'll go back after we finish this project. I definitely want to go back!"
Then Xiao Gengwu worked day and night on his research, and in just a few days he created a new weapon that was even more advanced than the one before.
The boss started bringing new projects, but Xiao Gengwu didn't even glance at them: "I want to go home. I've been away for two years. If I don't go back, my wife will leave me!"
The leaders looked at each other, wondering why they suddenly wanted to go back.
This person's research ability is terrifying. He brings two or three people, and they can achieve the research results of hundreds of people in an entire research institute.
If we had more people like this, would the country still have to worry about development? How could we possibly let him go back? We should at least let him stay here for another ten or twenty years.
So several leaders took turns going to Chen to complain, lamenting that the country was being suppressed and beaten, and that the people had no dignity when they went out, but Xiao Gengwu could no longer listen to anything.
His mind was filled with images of Yao Tongjia abandoning him. He couldn't bear it without Yao Tongjia. Instead of taking the leader's documents, he sat in his chair with a blank look in his eyes.
A leader approached He Jiale and said, "Why don't you go and try to persuade him?"
He Jiale also expressed some dissatisfaction: "We've been working on research day and night since we came here. Even if we're about to hang ourselves, we need to catch our breath, right?"
He was also a little worried that if he continued like this, his girlfriend might run away too!
Yao Tongxu shared the same thought. Li Youyou had a powerful older brother; would someone like that let his sister wait for him forever? The answer was no, and he wanted to go back too!
They ran into a wall with these three people, but the leaders weren't giving up. They were sticking to the idea of dragging things out one day at a time and showed no intention of letting them through.
Then, Xiao Gengwu, whether because he was in a bad mood or because he was too anxious, actually fell ill and developed a high fever.
The fact that this person had a fever without any effective antipyretics terrified the leaders. This was someone who could withstand a thousand troops; if he were to fall into their hands...
Their careers could end immediately, so they hurriedly called the best doctors to watch over Xiao Gengwu and went to call their superiors to report.
Upon hearing that Xiao Gengwu was sick and was making a fuss about going home, the higher-ups were very dissatisfied. As long as this person did his research properly, they could all be promoted and receive a raise quickly. Why did he suddenly refuse to do his research quietly?
Hearing that he missed his wife, some suggested, "Isn't there a newly assigned doctor over there? I heard she's quite pretty, so why don't you have her treat him, and maybe you can develop feelings for her while you're at it!"
Someone who only knows how to do research just needs someone to care about him. Why would they need to send him back? What would they have to do if he went back?
So they continued to detain Xiao Gengwu. Although the doctors were fully cooperating, Xiao Gengwu's fever just wouldn't go down.
He Jiale and Yao Tongxu touched Xiao Gengwu's forehead, which was so hot it could boil an egg, but the doctors were still arguing about what medicine to use.
When He Jiale lost his temper, he went to a place with a telephone, knocked down the person who was blocking his way, and made a long call before finally getting in touch with He Jiayin.
When He Jiayin heard that Xiao Gengwu had a persistent high fever and that none of these people had reported it, she immediately dared not entrust the task to others and personally led the best doctors to fly over there.
