Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

 Taiyuan, Meishan Conference Hall.

While Huang He was still researching new technologies unlocked by the Awakening Yonghu system, a unique teaching was being staged at the headquarters not far away.

In the center of the conference hall, a handsome intellectual stood in front of a blackboard, using the chalk in his hand to draw a schematic diagram of the rocket's structure with ease.

After marking the last line of comments, he turned to the "students" in the audience and said:

“This part I just talked about is about the scientific and technological outline of rockets. Do all the leaders understand it?”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand any part. Don’t have any ideological concerns. Just ask all your questions directly. I will explain it again immediately.”

After speaking, the intellectual who was as knowledgeable as a forest took a sip of warm water to soothe his throat, and then arranged several blackboards filled with notes in order to facilitate the viewing of everyone in the audience.

 Looking at the writing on the blackboard, which was like a heavenly book, all the big guys were a little confused.

They looked at each other and saw the same feeling in the expression on each other's faces: Who am I, where am I, what just happened?

Finally, under the hint of the division commander’s eyes, the brigade commander stood up with the helplessness of a senior official and said:

“Haha, to be honest, I didn’t understand it at all.”

“I know the words on the blackboard when they are separated, but when they are put together, I don’t understand their meaning.”

“I now understand one thing, which is why Huanghe has never talked to us about its research. Every other line is like a mountain.”

 After someone spoke first, the deputy commander and others nodded in agreement.

As senior army commanders, most of them are from local martial arts halls or military academies. The pressure distribution on different airfoils definitely belongs to super-class knowledge.

However, unlike some of the gangsters over at Guo Preserved, the bosses at the headquarters have always been open-minded and eager to learn, and usually look down on half-full buckets of water that pretend to understand.

If they had the opportunity to study at an early age, their academic achievements would certainly not be much worse than their military achievements.

 After thinking for a moment, the army reorganization expert stood up and expressed his position:

“Comrade, maybe those of us are not capable of directly participating in scientific research projects, but we are all confident in mastering the basic principles of rockets.”

“In the next period of time, we will definitely take the time to learn relevant knowledge and principles. We can draw inferences from one example to another, but we must at least understand the work you report.”

 Obviously, the words of the army reorganization expert made the disciples in Huanghe full of emotion, and their thoughts suddenly flew to the distant shore of the ocean.

As a well-known teaching assistant in the Department of Aeronautics at Caltech, he has always been known for his strictness and high demands in class.

Since he was taught by the German academic school, learning is like a forest and is taught with only two pieces of chalk and four blackboards. There are no textbooks, lecture notes, or laboratory content.

That whirlwind style often makes the classroom atmosphere terrifying.

And he cannot tolerate fools. When faced with students who are not talented enough, he can even say bluntly that he hopes the other students will not waste their time, nor should they sit here and waste their parents' money.

 It is precisely because of the above that he was once dubbed the living devil by local students.

But now, looking at a group of laymen with zero foundation, knowledge is like a forest but there is no impatient thought at all. This may be the difference between work and faith.

“Okay! Let me tell you one more time while there is still some time.”

 “Old rule, if you have any questions, don’t feel embarrassed to ask them at any time.”

Just when learning was like a forest and he opened the blackboard and was about to start over from scratch, he suddenly found someone looking at him with a smile at the door of the conference room.

 Everyone in the audience is a soldier, so the lecturer's little moves cannot be hidden from their eyes. After seeing that familiar figure, everyone smiled.

 After a moment, the deputy general staff officer waved his hand, and then said to another intellectual:

“Guangda, let’s talk about your scientific research project, and let’s change our minds. The rocket just now has given everyone a lot of trouble.”

As soon as these words came out, Knowledge Like a Forest first said hello to his companions, and then trotted towards the door in three steps and two steps at a time.

　　Although the two have not seen each other for several years since graduation, they do not feel strange to each other. After hugging, Huang and Qian moved to a side room.

“Junior, thank you for your hard work.”

“When the meeting officially ends, I will host a banquet for you to wash away the dust, and by the way, I will introduce you to your future colleagues.”

Hearing this, Learning is like a forest and said in an angry tone: "Senior, why should we be so polite between you and me? Back then we swore together that we would use knowledge to change the destiny of the Chinese people. Isn't it right to return to the country after studying and serve the motherland? It’s something everyone dreams of.”

As if he didn’t want to make the atmosphere too sensational, the junior student changed the subject and said, “Come on, come on, let’s see what gift I have prepared for you.”

After speaking, he took out two thick stacks of papers from the briefcase under his arm.

  The cover of the first copy reads in English: Research on high-speed aerodynamic problems. The title of the second letter was in German, but Huang He could not see the specific content clearly.

“As you know, things have not been very peaceful recently. Guangda and I only managed to return home smoothly with the help of Lao Feng. We really don’t have time to prepare a gift for you.”

“This is the manuscript of my doctoral thesis, and the other one is my supervisor’s notes. I hope you like it.”

Hearing this, Huang He immediately showed strong interest. He took the materials with both hands, not to mention how excited he looked.

These two things are unique original manuscripts in the world. They are as precious as the heroine given by my elder brother. They are definitely rare treasures.

 Taking into account the identity of the scientist, the collection and research value of the former is even higher.

“Hey, this gift is really delivered directly to my heart. Based on your future achievements, I am afraid that this thesis manuscript will not be admired by future generations of students.”

“Come, come, take a look at what I have prepared for you. Our Eighth Route Army has just stabilized, and the conditions are not as good as those of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, so don’t dislike it.”

Under the expectant eyes of his juniors, Huang He took out a beautifully crafted medal from his pocket. Its shape looked like a rocket soaring in the air.

This is a souvenir produced by the Border Area Weapons Experimental Research Bureau. It is a limited edition medal handmade from scraps of the first batch of Red Sun rockets. Currently, it is only owned by the first batch of veteran figures.

However, as a "honor", Huanghe specially left a share for the returning wanderers.

 Obviously, learning is like the forest and likes the gift prepared for him by his senior. He wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it carefully into his briefcase.

“By the way, how do you feel about our Eighth Route Army and Jin Province?”

As soon as these words came out, the junior first moved his eyes to the platform, and then said with great emotion:

"I was really impressed by the performance of the chiefs at this meeting. There are not many soldiers who are willing to learn at their level even if I hold a lantern."

“As for Jin Province, I just feel that the people are very happy now. By the way, the railway projects in the whole province are very good.”

“Also, our air force is really outrageous. When I first got off the plane, including the fighter jets that escorted me back, they were definitely the most advanced products of the current era.”

“I really don’t understand how you ordered the technology tree.”

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Huang He's mouth immediately rose slightly.

  Before my junior classmate changed his major, he was preparing to devote himself to the railway construction of the motherland. Maybe in some unknown world, he is still a literary railway engineer.

 Being recognized by him is something to be proud of.

 As for the fact that the technology tree is ridiculously crooked, that is already recognized by the whole world. Anyway, it is beneficial to oneself, and it will not be too late to explain slowly in the future.

“Haha, after fighting for so long, the only ones who can crawl out from the dead are the best. Don’t underestimate any comrade.”

“On our way to creating miracles, although we do not have such a large number of scientists who graduated from prestigious universities, we do have a group of idealists who have firm beliefs and are willing to devote their lives to the cause of national defense.”

“Time will prove to you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing the Eighth Route Army. Let’s go back quickly and don’t keep everyone waiting too long.”

  ·······

　　When the two returned to the Meishan Conference Hall, Huang He saw the sweaty brigade commander and his entourage at a glance. Whether it's aerodynamics or physics, it's still a bit difficult for the big guys at this stage.

Seeing the savior appear, the deputy general staff officer wiped the sweat from his forehead, then immediately came to greet him and said:

“Huanghe, the project you applied for a few days ago has been approved. Both the border region and the headquarters have approved the establishment plan of the fifth section of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau.”

“But I want to tell you one thing: don’t put all the burdens on your shoulders.”

“There may be no limit to a person’s ability and knowledge, but there certainly is energy. Since outstanding comrades will come back one after another, don’t take charge of everything yourself.”

"By the way, Lao Nie will take his troops to Suiyuan with you in a while. You can discuss the specific details in private." (End of this chapter)
