Chapter 200 Xu Zhili is about to achieve another scientific research success.
"Me too, I can only see a few blurry shadows."
Xie Yunze's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the night vision goggles designed by Xu Zhili far surpassed the performance of conventional equipment, and could see targets that other night vision goggles could not detect.
"Xiao Li, you continue to monitor the huts in the valley. Xiao Wang, watch the ridge on the right. The rest of you, follow me. We'll advance 200 meters and establish an observation point."
Xie Yunze quickly issued the order.
With the help of the superior performance of the new night vision goggles, Xie Yunze's team moved forward silently and finally stopped at an ideal observation position.
From here, they could clearly see those men exchanging something with the people in the shack.
"They are undoubtedly enemy agents."
Xie Yunze thought to himself.
He instructed his team to continue monitoring while he retreated to the rear and reported the situation to headquarters via radio.
An hour later, reinforcements arrived and successfully surrounded and captured the group of enemy agents.
Subsequent interrogation revealed that the group was indeed equipped with night vision devices, but their performance was mediocre, and they were unable to detect Xie Yunze's group approaching.
"Thank goodness for your new night vision goggles."
At the debriefing meeting, the regimental commander praised Xie Yunze, saying, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to spot the target so early, let alone approach it silently. Your night vision goggles made a great contribution to the success of this operation."
Xie Yunze stood up, his back ramrod straight, and said in a loud voice, "Reporting to the regimental commander, the night vision goggles came in handy thanks to Comrade Xu Zhili's technical support."
"She repeatedly adjusted the parameters and optimized the lens transmittance, which enabled the equipment to work stably in complex environments. The credit shouldn't all go to me."
A murmur rippled through the audience, with someone asking curiously, "Comrade Xu Zhili? Which unit is she a key technical member of?"
Xie Yunze revealed a hint of pride on his face and said loudly, "She's my girlfriend. She works in technical research and development at a local machinery factory, and she's smarter than anyone else."
As soon as he finished speaking, good-natured laughter and applause erupted around him. Even the regimental commander joked with a smile, "Well done, Xie Yunce! Not only did you make a contribution, but you also found a top-notch technical expert as your partner. Double happiness!"
Xie Yunze felt a surge of pride, not only for the completion of the mission, but also for Xu Zhili's achievements.
That night, by the dim light of the camp, he wrote a long letter to Xu Zhili, describing in detail the performance of night vision goggles in actual combat and how they helped the troops successfully complete their missions.
“Ali, the night vision goggles you designed not only allow us to see clearly and far, but more importantly, they give us the upper hand in nighttime operations.”
In his letter, Xie Yunze wrote, "My comrades are all envious of me for having such a 'secret weapon' and ask me where I got it from."
“I proudly told them that it was designed by a clever girl.”
At the end of the letter, after much hesitation, he added, "Zhili, I want to tell you something in person next time I have a vacation."
Not long after, Xu Zhili received a letter from Xie Yunze.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she read his description of how night vision goggles helped the troops accomplish their missions.
Her design not only gained recognition, but also truly helped the soldiers who defended their country, which is the greatest affirmation for her.
What pleased her even more was that the military region's arsenal decided to mass-produce the night vision goggles she designed, with the first batch of 500 units to be equipped to the border troops.
Director Chen visited the Xiangyang Brigade again, bringing not only a bonus but also a letter of thanks and a medal, which the military awarded her in recognition of her contributions.
This time, Xu Zhili once again donated part of her reward money to the brigade.
Fish fry have now been released into the pond and are growing well.
The citrus trees in the orchard have also sprouted new buds, a lush green expanse.
The brigade decided to use the new funds to build a small processing plant for processing fish products and citrus fruits.
Xu Zhili stood by the fishpond, looking at the shimmering water, her heart filled with hope.
She recalled the last sentence of Xie Yunce's letter, and a blush crept onto her face.
After all this time, we've arrived. The spring breeze carries the scent of earth and new plants.
Xu Zhili knew that both her love and her career, like this spring, were quietly sprouting and full of infinite possibilities.
The distant mountains appeared exceptionally clear in the spring sunshine, as if foreshadowing a bright future.
Xu Zhili took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards home, already conceiving her next design project.
Xu Zhili's name has long been known throughout the surrounding villages.
Not only did her night vision goggles make a great contribution to the army, but she also helped the brigade build fish ponds and orange groves, giving this once impoverished brigade hope for prosperity.
However, Xu Zhili's thoughts had already flown to a much farther place.
She sat under the kerosene lamp, several blueprints spread out in front of her.
This is not a design for military equipment, but rather a preliminary concept for a small aircraft, a drone.
In her past life memories, drone technology was already quite advanced, but in this era, it was almost non-existent.
Xu Zhili understood that it was unrealistic to design drones entirely according to the standards of later generations, as the electronic technology, materials science, and power systems were far from meeting the requirements.
But she believes that she can use the existing resources to design a simple reconnaissance drone.
Even if it can only fly for a few tens of minutes, and is equipped with the most basic photographic equipment, it can play an important role in military reconnaissance and border patrol.
"Zhili, aren't you asleep yet?"
The mother pushed open the door and came in, carrying a bowl of mung bean soup. "It's so hot today, have some mung bean soup to cool down."
Xu Zhili looked up and rubbed her sore eyes. "Thank you, Mom. I'll go to sleep right away. It's almost time."
The mother glanced at the blueprints on table 2. "What's this new and interesting thing? It looks like a small airplane."
"It's a small remote-controlled airplane that can be used to take pictures from the sky," Xu Zhili explained simply.
The mother shook her head and asked no more questions.
Since her daughter's design gained attention from the province, she has become accustomed to these incomprehensible blueprints.
The next day, Xu Zhili found Xie Jianguo of the brigade.
"Thank you, Captain. I'd like to ask for a few days off to go to the provincial capital," Xu Zhili said. "Director Chen from the arsenal asked me to discuss some technical issues with him."
Xie Jianguo agreed without hesitation: "Go ahead, go ahead, you don't need to worry about the team's affairs. You're now the pride of our brigade, a talent that's been recognized even in the province!"
Xu Zhili smiled. What she didn't tell Xie Jianguo was that during this trip to the provincial capital, she not only wanted to discuss the mass production of night vision goggles, but also planned to propose a research idea for drones to Director Chen.
Xu Zhili took out the pass from her bag and handed it over.
After a thorough inspection, the sentry then asked to check her backpack.
