Chapter 65

The officers all looked at Xu Wen.

Xu Wen is very eye-catching, pretty and fair-skinned, but a little too thin.

It's very comfortable to sit next to Lu Yuanzheng and look at Wenwen quietly.

If you ignore the scary scar on Lu Yuanzheng's face, the two of them can be said to be a perfect match.

But looking at it again, how could a young girl like her solve a problem that the entire department couldn't solve?

Everyone present is a materialist. No one would think that Xu Wen, who looks like a fairy, can really cast a spell to create electricity.

Seeing Xu Wen's palms were sweaty with nervousness, Lu Yuanzheng leaned to the side, blocking Xu Wen for the most part, and tapped on the table with his fingers: "In our hometown, we have to give a red envelope to the new bride when we meet her for the first time. Do you have money in your pockets?"

Officers: "..."

They all turned their heads.

It wasn't because I wanted to give a red envelope, but because I was blocked by Lu Yuanzheng's shameless words.

We are all comrades and brothers, who can't tell that he is not asking us to see his new wife?!

Song Xueqin glared at Lu Yuanzheng and said, "You must get a red envelope! Stay for lunch and I'll give it to you. Let's get down to business first. Comrade Xu Wen, can your solar and wind power generation be used on a large scale? In other words, can it guarantee electricity for the entire archipelago?"

Xu Wen thought about it and shook his head: "No."

Song Xueqin was a little disappointed.

Song Lei was a little anxious: "Sister-in-law, didn't you say you could guarantee daily electricity supply on the island?"

"Yes! It can only be guaranteed for daily use. However, the electricity supply for daily life in most cities is not stable now. Power outages occur at any time. If it is acceptable for daily life, is it also acceptable for military use?"

Obviously not.

Song Xueqin's high expectations were dashed again, and he was somewhat unwilling to give up: "Can you tell me about your power generation?"

Xu Wen really didn't know what to say for a moment.

From what she learned from the magic mirror and from what was left in her own memory, she knew that wind power generation in my country started in the 1950s, but the wind farm was not actually built until 1986.

Xu Wen doesn't have the ability to complete such a big thing eight years ahead of schedule just by relying on the magic mirror to give blind instructions.

A wind farm must be a place where large wind turbines are installed together to form a certain scale before it can be called a wind farm.

It usually starts with a few dozen wind turbines, then hundreds or even thousands of them are connected and run together, transmitting electricity to the power supply system in a unified manner, and then distributing the electricity.

This also requires computer processing.

Not to mention how expensive and hard to buy calculators are these days, and their performance is also poor. Just considering such a large project, Xu Wen said that nothing can be done.

This requires a team, a team specializing in wind power research.

Xu Wen roughly explained the principles of solar and wind power generation.

Some officers understood and some did not.

Song Xueqin, who had been studying electricity for a while, had some knowledge of it. After hearing this, he regained his confidence: "Then your method is indeed suitable for our island. We have plenty of wind and sun on our island. Why can't it work?"

The island has plenty of sunshine and constant sea breeze all year round. Isn't it the most suitable place to generate electricity in this way?

Xu Wen frowned and bit his lip.

It's not that she doesn't want to say it.

The answers asked from the magic mirror include from ancient times to the present, no, to the future to the first three decades of the 21st century.

Some inferences do not exist at all now.

For example, there is no power grid now. If she uses some overly trendy terms and it gets to the professionals, she might get into trouble.

Here, people attribute all of this to her being a college student, but experts don't think so.

Lu Yuanzheng shook her hand and spoke for her: "Captain, Xu Wen is just a college student who just got admitted to the university. She just read some random things in the library and studied them on her own. Otherwise, you can find a way to ask professionals? Doesn't our country have specialized research on wind power generation and solar power generation? Why don't you ask those scientists?"

Song Xueqin said unhappily: "Why do you say that? I've already asked someone to contact them." But, scientists are not that easy to invite.

The other officers didn't quite understand what was going on from beginning to end.

All I know is that Xu Wen said her method is not suitable for the islands.

Therefore, it is still impossible to supply electricity normally on a large scale.

But they didn't understand it and had never seen it, so they couldn't be disappointed.

Only Song Xueqin was truly sad.

Xu Wen felt a little reluctant, but he still spoke: "First of all, we have to rule out solar power generation. As the name suggests, solar power relies on the sun to generate electricity. If it is cloudy or rainy, there will be no electricity. Wind power generation is slightly better, but...how to say it? It is easy to generate electricity but difficult to convert it, and it is even more difficult to store electricity.

The little gadgets I tinkered with were really just for fun, and the fan was only enough to last for the first half of the night.

Of course, if we can get in touch with scientists, they might be able to solve this problem. If so, it is not impossible to provide electricity over a large area.”

This was a white lie. At least in her and the magic mirror's understanding, the problem of storing electricity has never been properly solved.

Sure enough, Song Xueqin obviously had more hope.

Seeing that the discussion about her had ended, Xu Wen took the initiative to leave the meeting room.

You have to leave.

Even if it involves military secrets, she will not be allowed to listen.

At noon, Xu Wen was invited by Song Xueqin to stay for lunch, so Lu Yuanzheng naturally had to accompany him.

Shi Lei said he was going to see an old comrade and did not go with them.

Song Xueqin actually asked someone to prepare a big red envelope and give it to Xu Wen.

Looks pretty thick.

Xu Wen quickly declined: "Captain Song, you are too polite! Lu Yuanzheng is talking nonsense."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Yuanzheng retorted, taking the red envelope from the table and stuffing it into Xu Wen's arms, "Just keep it if I give it to you. Why don't you just live like this? You don't even want the money?"

Xu asked: "..."

Although it was talking about her, it felt more like squeezing Song Xueqin.

Could this be the legendary "pointing fingers at someone else"? !

Song Xueqin picked up the matchbox next to him and threw it at Lu Yuanzheng, "Get lost!"

Turning around, Xu Wen became a kind-looking elder again, and said with a cheerful face, "I won't call you Comrade Xu Wen in private anymore. Just call me Uncle Song like Zhengzi did."

Xu Wen nodded and called out obediently, "Uncle Song."

Song Xueqin agreed and subconsciously reached into his jacket pocket. After searching for a while, he remembered that he had already given the red envelope. He pointed at Lu Yuanzheng with his index finger and said to Xu Wen, "Don't be fooled by his outspokenness! In fact, this guy is reliable! You made the right choice by marrying him!"

Xu Wen smiled and nodded.

"Did he ever tell you that he was a playboy?"

"Ah?" Xu Wen glanced at Lu Yuanzheng and shook his head: "No."

Young master?

What is this called?

It sounds a bit like ancient times.

"Did he tell you that his last name is Wei instead of Lu?"

The surprise on Xu Wen's face became more obvious.

Song Xueqin was also shocked: "He didn't tell you anything, and you still dared to marry him?"

Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly: "Old Song, this is all I know and you have revealed it all to me. Can't you leave me some so I can explain myself? Will you be responsible if I sleep on the floor when I go back tonight?"

"You deserve it!" Song Xueqin rolled his eyes at him, but didn't say anything more about it. He just chatted about his daily life.

Although Xu Wen was curious, he did not ask any further questions.

First, it doesn’t matter to her whether Lu Yuanzheng’s surname is Wei or Lu.

Second, she would rather hear it from Lu Yuanzheng himself.

It will definitely sound different to her if you tell it to yourself or to someone else.

Song Xueqin asked a few questions about the child's personal situation, such as how old he was, how many people were in his family, etc.

"You signed my marriage application. Why are you asking about these pictures?"

He had obviously read it all.

"How can reading materials be the same as chatting with real people?" Song Xueqin said unhappily, "If you interrupt me again, get out of here."

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

It's not that he is disrespectful, in public they are superiors and subordinates, and when they eat in private they are the elders and the younger ones.

Especially Song Xueqin and Lian Zhenxing were really good to him.

After hearing that Xu Wen had given up his studies to follow Lu Yuanzheng back to the island, Song Xueqin looked at Xu Wen with even more admiration, but said, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."

It's not that he is hypocritical.

Being in the army is hard sometimes, and who wouldn't want to hold a ship in one hand and a beloved girl in the other?

How can you have your cake and eat it too?

Most of the time you have to give up one.

Often, we can protect the whole society but not our own family.

The tears of many military wives are saltier than the sea water.

It's all grievance.

Xu Wen gave up his studies at the very beginning. This kind of courage is rare.

"It's been almost half a year now, do you regret it?" Song Xueqin was most afraid that she was just acting on impulse.

He understood his soldiers. If Xu Wen really regretted her marriage and wanted to divorce and leave, Lu Yuanzheng would not use the military marriage protection to keep her and would definitely give her freedom.

It's not that I don't care, it's that I have to swallow my anger.

Xu Wen shook his head: "No regrets."

What does she regret? It's not that she can't go to college, it's just that she doesn't have to go every day.

I will decide where to go after four years depending on the island situation.

"You are a good girl!" Song Xueqin concluded at the end of the dinner, "Lu Yuanzheng is blessed to have met you after cultivating for several lifetimes."

"That's not what you said just now. Just now you praised me as a man worthy of marriage. Why do you think I have to cultivate for several lifetimes before I can marry her? Your position is too unsteady, isn't it?"

"Speak properly!" Song Xueqin scolded Lu Yuanzheng, "Why are you speaking in Beijing dialect?"

Lu Yuanzheng interrupted successfully, smiled with his lips raised, and said nothing.

Before leaving, Song Xueqin saw them off, mainly seeing Xu Wen off.

"Let me ask you, is it really impossible to generate electricity from wind power?" Song Xueqin was still a little unwilling to accept it.

Xu Wen saw that Song Xueqin was really concerned about the electricity issue, so he didn't say anything final this time. He just said, "I'll go back and think about it."

Song Xueqin said nothing more, only to Lu Yuanzheng: "When will you come up with a name for your island? Your island is the only one in our archipelago that doesn't have a name yet."

Lu Yuanzheng scratched his head and asked, "What names did they give them? Can I learn from them?"

Song Xueqin sneered, "You can come up with a name for your own island. I'll give you another week. If you can't come up with one, I'll name it after the old island name or after the number of your island."

"What's our island number?"

"nineteen."

Lu Yuanzheng said "Oh" and nodded: "Okay, next time I come to a meeting, I will definitely bring the island name."

Shi Lei hasn't come back yet. It's not that he is not punctual, but there is still some time before the agreed time to leave the island.

After Song Xueqin left, Lu Yuanzheng took Xu Wen's hand and said, "Let's go shopping."

Xu Wen followed him for a few steps and then responded, "So you came out early on purpose?"

Lu Yuanzheng is not the kind of person who would misremember time as he said, and his tone was too perfunctory.

Lu Yuanzheng hummed, "I finally got to go to the island alone without my little light bulb. Now that Shi Lei's big light bulb is not here, how can I spend all my time chatting with Old Man Song?"

"Aren't you afraid of being punished for talking about your leader behind his back?" Xu Wen knew he was joking and teased him.

"He often calls me that in person. Today I'm saving his face in front of you." Lu Yuanzheng paused and added, "He and Uncle Lian both treat me very well. They saved me more than once. It turns out that Old Man Song and Uncle Lian are on the same level. Their relationship is almost the same as mine and Shi Lei's. Later, in order to clean up my mess, Old Song was demoted."

"Ah?" Xu Wen was a little surprised, "What happened?"
