The dark-faced old man smiled bitterly, "It's a worry if there's no one to inherit the family business, and it's also a worry if there is someone who can inherit the family business. You see, we have been through wind and rain all our lives, and we are destined to be lonely old people. But you are not so lucky, your family's army can still be used for decades, and can take over the business for our great-grandchildren."
It is true that they have heirs, but what is the point of living a lonely life without seeing their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren?
Yan Guofeng thought the same, but there was no one among his grandchildren to take up the responsibility; he could only place his hopes on his son, hoping that his great-grandson would be able to take over when he grew up, so that the generation gap would not be too serious.
"Well, why think so much? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We are all old." Not wanting to continue this topic, Yan Guofeng said: "Yuxiu, come here, let me introduce you to the two grandfathers."
The sullen-faced old man looked at Zhong Yuxiu, aware of his impoliteness, and suppressed his inner sorrow. "I know her, your granddaughter-in-law, Zhong Yuxiu. She's a very talented scientist. I heard she's developed many good things for the people and the country. Unfortunately, I'm retired now, so it's not easy for me to see what those things really look like."
"That's right! I'm curious too. My son told me that Comrade Zhong Yuxiu has developed some kind of thermal weapon. In short, it's very powerful and destructive, but the materials are limited, so it can't be mass-produced. Now it's only equipped by a few special forces." The old man next to them echoed, and the two old men looked at Zhong Yuxiu.
A graceful girl with clear and firm eyes, and a temperament rarely seen among women today.
"I know that the three types of thermal weapons that Yuxiu brought out are very useful but also very expensive. They will not be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary." Yan Guofeng said with a smile.
The dark-faced old man nodded. "That's how it should be. In the early years, we suffered greatly from the harm of hot-weapons. Although we won, we also suffered heavy losses. We can rise up, stand up, and change. Based on the lessons learned from the past, our country does not easily start a war, but it is not cowardly enough to accept a beating. Only with strength can we guarantee our country's right to speak."
Yan Guofeng chuckled, "Let's not talk about this. Come, Yuxiu, come here."
"Grandpa." Zhong Yuxiu walked forward holding a child.
"Yuxiu, this is your grandfather's former leader. His surname is Wang and his name is Zhanguo. You can call him Grandpa Wang. He has done countless heroic deeds and is a truly admirable party member." Not a leader, not a cadre, but a party member.
Zhong Yuxiu's eyes were visibly solemn. "Hello, Grandpa Wang."
"Hello, hello. I'm an old man, a bit of an old man. Don't listen to your grandfather. A hero doesn't boast about his past achievements. Today's country is the stage for you, the younger generation." Wang Zhanguo said with a laugh, "To be honest, there are few of us old friends who haven't heard of your name. It's just that I never had the chance to meet you. Seeing you now is beyond my expectation."
"Too young?" Zhong Yuxiu asked playfully, tilting her head slightly.
Wang Zhanguo shook his head. "It's not too young, it's incredibly young. Seeing you makes me so relieved. A strong youth makes a strong nation. Your generation of young people is truly remarkable."
"You are truly remarkable. Without the empire you built, we would have had the ability but no room for development. You used your fearless spirit to drive the foreign powers out of our country. You are tired, and it is time for us young people to take up the burden." Zhong Yuxiu spoke sincerely, and the two elders were deeply moved. "To be honest, what we do is not as hard as you do. You are the generation that has suffered the most, but also the most remarkable."
Born in troubled times, experienced war, and used their lives and blood to pave a bright future for the motherland.
The more humble and sweet-spoken she was, the more Wang Zhanguo and the old people around him liked her. Just think about it, if a younger generation does not know what humility is, how much can the elders like her?
Chinese people praise humility and eagerness to learn, and are ashamed of arrogance, domineering and complacency; people prefer people who are clever, intelligent, talented, capable and humble.
"Comrade Zhong Yuxiu is indeed a good comrade." The old man next to her nodded in appreciation.
Yan Guofeng then introduced Zhong Yuxiu, "You can just call this guy Grandpa Tian. His name is Tian Xiangqian. We worked together on the battlefield. Later, he was transferred to other places, so we haven't been in touch much since then."
What I mean is that we are still acquaintances, but we have less contact now, so I need her to taste it.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and called out, "Hello, Grandpa Tian."
"Okay, everything is fine. Comrade Zhong Yuxiu, can I call you Yuxiu?" Tian Xiangqian asked.
"Sure, whatever you want."
Tian Xiangqian said, "Yuxiu! We're curious about the three weapons you brought out. Can you tell us more about them?"
"I want to know too, but it's not convenient to ask my former subordinates because their sons don't have a very comprehensive understanding. We old guys only have a vague understanding of it. We only know that there are three very powerful thermal weapons that we have never seen so far." After retirement, you are just an ordinary person, and your connections are not used for such things.
They met the inventors of three types of thermal weapons and naturally wanted to find out. No matter what, they wanted to know why the new weapons were praised as the best weapons of the time.
Of course, they couldn't say these words.
Even if Zhong Yuxiu knew about this, she wouldn't be surprised. Although the three types of thermal weapons used were obsolete in interstellar space, they were currently twenty years ahead of the world in terms of quality.
"If you can't tell me, then forget it. We're just curious." Seeing that she was silent, Tian Xiangqian didn't force her.
Wang Zhanguo smiled and said, "That's right. We understand the confidentiality mechanism."
"Not really." Yuxiu smiled helplessly, "I can give you a brief introduction, but I can't reveal too much detail."
"That's fine too."
The two old men were curious. Zhong Yuxiu looked at Yan Guofeng and saw him nod. Then she said, "The three weapons are: Tracking, Defense Breaking, and Lunar God. The Tracking missile can lock onto a person and will not stop until it reaches its target. The Defense Breaking missile can ignore all current defenses. The Lunar God is known for its speed, and its speed is ten times that of all current thermal weapons."
Wang Zhanguo and Tian Xiangqian looked at each other, and they were about to put the blame on Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Guofeng.
"Old Yan, you keep your mouth shut." He didn't reveal a single word. If he had revealed anything, they wouldn't have had only a fragmentary understanding of the three types of hot weapons.
Yan Guofeng waved his hand. "I only know a little bit, not much. As you know, I stopped taking care of things after retirement. I'm at home taking care of my great-grandchildren every day. How can I have the time to ask about these things? I'm also thinking about having a great-grandchild who can take over as their grandfather in the future."
Wang Zhanguo believed it, but Tian Xiangqian didn't know whether he believed it or not. They both nodded to show that they understood.
"Yuxiu, thank you for your hard work. You have provided such a powerful thing for our motherland." No matter how much they said, it would be pale.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and shook her head. "I can't say it was hard work. I provided the blueprints and data. The rest is all thanks to the Military Research Institute."
