Chapter 334 Unsung Hero
Compensation is difficult to achieve.
If Gu Yanying really used the life-saving method obtained from the system, Huo Yan knew very well that he would never be able to compensate him with the same value in his entire life.
As for asking Su Lingyu to help "repay a favor", that was not his style.
As for the clauses in the confidentiality agreement that bind others, he can only be more strict with himself and will never show favoritism.
Facing Huo Yan's serious gaze, Gu Yanying stared at him for a few seconds, then smiled and shook his head in denial: "No."
But after he said this, Huo Yan became more certain that there must be one.
"I owe you a favor." Huo Yan said, "If there's anything I can do for you, just ask."
Gu Yanying nodded and smiled, "Okay, I won't be polite with you. If you need me, just ask. I also owe you a favor. If you hadn't saved me when I was kidnapped, I don't know what would happen to me now."
What's more, at that critical moment, Huo Yan decisively gave him the life jacket without any hesitation.
He never thought of himself as a good person, and he never cared about right and wrong before, but now he has some understanding: a society cannot do without people like Huo Yan.
Huo Yan shook his head: "That's my responsibility."
Gu Yanying smiled and said, "I appreciate it."
The two looked at each other and laughed out loud almost at the same time.
When two people work together, they must see things through to the end.
Huo Yan took out a document and told Gu Yanying the current situation in detail.
"At present, those who know that Ling Yu has a system, and those who guess that you also have a system and have malicious intentions towards the two of you have basically been arrested and can no longer make trouble. Even if there are still some "insiders", after seeing the previous experience, I guess they dare not act rashly again."
"All in all, you are basically safe now."
Gu Yanying read the information carefully and nodded: "Basic safety is fine. There is no absolute safety in this world."
Huo Yan asked again: "What are your plans for the future?"
Gu Yanying said: "I don't have any plans. I will continue to do research as before."
I don’t know how long I have left in my life, but it’s always right to do what I like.
Huo Yan smiled and asked no more questions. He picked up the teacup and toasted him.
Gu Yanying smiled faintly and raised her glass to toast him.
The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water. So many words are expressed in just one smile and one drink.
…
Three years later.
It happened to be National Day, and the streets and alleys of the capital were very busy.
When familiar people meet, the first thing they say is often "Have you eaten?", and the second thing they say is definitely "Our country's independently developed aircraft carrier has been launched. Did you see the news about this?"
If the other party says that he has not watched it, he will definitely be looked down upon and people will shout, "Why haven't you watched it yet? This is a major event for our entire country, and you don't care at all. You are out of date."
If the other party says they have seen it, it will definitely trigger a new round of heated discussion.
"It is said that our aircraft carrier is much stronger than that of the U.S. and is truly the best in the world."
"That Great Nether Country insists that our aircraft carrier technology was stolen from them. I think it is they who often steal our cultural treasures. What a bunch of villains!"
"Let's not talk about the unhappy things. The aircraft carrier in the newspaper is really domineering!"
"With an aircraft carrier, our country's maritime defense capabilities have suddenly reached the forefront of the world. It would be great if our air force could also compete with us someday."
"Yes, yes! Fighters, attack planes, come on!"
"We already have aircraft carriers, so why are we afraid of not having attack planes? Haha, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How dare foreign countries impose a technological blockade on us? I think in two years, foreigners will be begging us to sell their technology, hahahaha."
“…”
People on the streets, whether they were intellectuals or small businessmen, were all talking about it with great excitement and high spirits.
A military green jeep was parked on the side of the street. Su Lingyu was sitting in the back seat, just in time to see and hear all these scenes from the half-open window. The smile on the corners of her lips became even more brilliant.
Experts in later generations often said that in the 1980s and 1990s, China's national self-confidence was very weak, which was mostly due to the impact of the country's backwardness.
Moreover, at this time, there are still quite a number of "public intellectuals" who are vigorously promoting the democracy and freedom of the ugly country, the craftsmanship of the island country, etc. in newspapers and media, as if only China is useless.
The Chinese people's national self-confidence was lost bit by bit in the midst of the contrast and the propaganda of the so-called public intellectuals.
This also leads to a large number of talented people who study abroad at public expense choosing to stay abroad rather than return to serve their country... simply because "the moon is rounder abroad."
There is no good way to control this situation in China, and we can only turn a blind eye.
Even after the millennium, there is still a saying about going abroad to make money.
But don't worry now.
China has risen.
It has been rising since the 1980s!
Hearing the cheers from outside, Su Lingyu was also thinking about a question: Now that the aircraft carrier has been built, can we really start working on other things next?
Fighter?
After all, we cannot relax our control over our airspace and territorial waters.
Remembering that Captain Huo at home was from the Sharp Knife Regiment and that he had organized a high-tech armed force, Su Lingyu turned around to ask for his opinion.
"Honey, the aircraft carrier has been launched. Are you happy?"
Huo Yan looked back at her with his calm eyes, full of tenderness, and a smile in his voice: "Of course I am happy."
Su Lingyu asked again: "From your perspective, where do you most hope our country will achieve a technological breakthrough? Fighter jets? Missiles? Or nuclear weapons?"
Huo Yan pondered for a moment and said seriously: "The two bombs and one satellite in China have been successful, and we have no shortage of trump cards. Nuclear weapons only play a deterrent role. The real military forces used on the battlefield may be more mobile, such as fighter jets."
Su Lingyu nodded.
She understood what Huo Yan meant. Nuclear weapons were the trump card, a trump card that could not be used. This trump card did not have to be used, but holding it in hand would make the enemy wary.
In contrast, aircraft carriers, fighter jets, deep-sea submarines, etc. can be considered "conventional weapons" and are usable forces that can be used on the battlefield.
Su Lingyu made a happy decision: "Our country already has its own aircraft carrier, maybe fighter jets will be developed in two years."
Huo Yan looked at her sincerely and honestly: "Many unknown heroes have contributed silently to the cause of national development. Perhaps it will take many years for people to know their names. But I think no matter what, time will remember them and know how great they are."
Su Lingyu blinked.
[Xiao Tongzi, why do I feel like Captain Huo is talking to me? ]
