After the car stopped, everyone got out of the car one after another and looked at the scene in front of them. The base was very large and the basic construction had been basically completed. There were some four-story buildings neatly arranged in the base, radiating out in all directions with their location as the center. . Everyone was told that this was the 211 Base, an important engineering base in Jinyintan, Qinghai Province.

After everyone looked at them for a while, a staff member wearing glasses and a military uniform without epaulettes and several soldiers came over. As soon as he came over, he stretched out his hand to Mr. Li. "Lao Li, welcome. It's been a hard journey. We are all looking forward to the arrival of our researchers."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, long time no see. How are you doing?" Mr. Li seemed to be very familiar with Mr. Zhao who came to greet him, and he chatted with him enthusiastically.

"Everything is fine, I'm just looking forward to your arrival."

"Comrades, let me introduce to you, this is Engineer Zhao who is in charge of logistics at our base." Mr. Li introduced to everyone.

"Comrade researchers, thank you for your hard work. My name is Zhao Youzhi, and I am currently responsible for the logistics work of our entire base. If you encounter any problems in your life in the future, please feel free to come to me. Our base has a difficult living environment. Please bear with me. But don’t worry, our commander-in-chief has said that even if the conditions are difficult, we must ensure the supply of researchers." Zhao Gong assured everyone.

"Gong Zhao, look at what you said, we are not here to enjoy the blessings. It's okay, we can endure hardship." After hearing Gong Zhao's words, someone immediately replied. Others also echoed, expressing their determination to come here to work and study. Perhaps it was because everyone had relaxed when they arrived at the base, and some researchers became more lively, unlike when they were on the road, where everyone was sparing words.

Zhao Gong was very moved, "I understand everyone's determination to serve the country wholeheartedly, but the body is the capital of the revolution. You are all the pillars of the country. Your body is not yours. It belongs to the country. You still have to Keep a healthy body and serve the country. Don’t worry, we will consider these issues comprehensively.”

"Okay, now I will take you to your resting place and arrange the rooms. Everyone will rest for an hour, and then I will take you to have a general understanding of the situation in the base." Zhao Gong said and motioned to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers stepped forward one after another. Help the researchers carry their luggage.

Tang Xin was particularly obvious in the crowd. Zhao Gong said to Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, is this the little prodigy that Mr. Qian mentioned?"

Mr. Li nodded, "This child is still young. He has grown up in Beijing since he was a child. He has never suffered much. Now that he is here, he still needs more care from you."

"Don't worry about this. This child is the youngest child in the entire base. We will definitely take good care of him." Zhao Gong said quickly.

Following the people to the dormitory, the soldier who helped carry the luggage put away their luggage and left. Tang Xin and her mother looked at the simple dormitory, which only had two single beds, two desks and two wardrobes. Next to it is a washbasin shelf with two washbasins and some toiletries on it. At first glance, it looks like a standard dormitory.

Tang Xin and her mother worked together, taking out clothes and placing daily necessities. Finally, the room was no longer so cold and had a bit of a sense of life.

As soon as the two finished cleaning up, there was a knock on the door. It was Aunt Liu Yan next door. She opened the door and came in: "It's time, we should go downstairs."

"Okay, right away." Tang's mother hung the towel on the washstand, tidied her clothes, and followed Liu Yan downstairs with Tang Xin.

There were already people waiting downstairs. After Tang Xin and the others came downstairs, everyone came downstairs one after another. Zhao Gong walked towards everyone with a smile, followed by Captain Liang. "How is everyone's rest? Let's go eat first. After dinner, I will show you around." Then he led everyone to the canteen and introduced the situation to everyone while walking to the canteen.

Due to the large number of people in the entire base, canteens are scattered, and different departments use different canteens nearby. This canteen is not far from the researchers' dormitories, just a few steps away, so most researchers are used to eating here.

"This is the canteen. The four-story building behind it will be our future work place. This canteen is right in the middle, making it convenient for everyone's daily life." Zhao Gong introduced, pointing to the building not far away. introduced.

Then he led everyone into the canteen. Since it was lunch time, researchers were already arriving one after another. "There are two food windows in this canteen. Our researchers use the No. 1 window on the right." As he said that, he led everyone to the table aside where there were lunch boxes. He picked up one and motioned for everyone to do the same. Everyone followed suit and took one each.

"In order to save time and energy for our scientific researchers, the lunch boxes of our scientific researchers are cleaned uniformly in the canteen, so after everyone has finished their meals, just put their lunch boxes and chopsticks into the recycling area inside." Gong Zhao pointed to the nearby recycling area. There is a staff member wearing a white hat sorting lunch boxes at the place where the three characters "Recycling Department" are written.

Everyone started queuing up, but when they arrived, Zhao Gong stood aside and asked Tang Xin behind him to prepare the meal first: "Little comrade, you come first. To welcome you today, the canteen specially made mutton for you. Come on, Try the mutton from our northwest. Is it delicious?"

Tang Xin thanked Gong Zhao and walked up to the window where she was serving food. Inside was a man wearing a white hat, and he was stunned when he saw Tang Xin. "Hey, leader, why is there a kid here?"

"Master Liu, please don't look at my young age. I am a member of the research institute. Who has seen such a young researcher?" Zhao Gong smiled and said to the master who was preparing the meal.

"I've never seen that before. This is not a little prodigy. What kind of family can educate such an outstanding child? My children can't even look at it." Master Liu said while giving Tang Xin food. , "Comrade, come and try this mutton. It's delicious. Is this enough? Tell me."

"Thank you, Master Liu. My name is Tang Xin. Just call me by my name from now on." Tang Xin was holding the lunch box. Master Liu had beaten her a lot, and she couldn't hold it with one hand.

"Okay, I'll remember it. Tang Xin is a good name. I'll save some for you, old Liu, if you have any delicious food in the future." Master Liu smiled and raised his eyebrows at Tang Xin, and everyone behind him also laughed. Tang Xin was the youngest here, and no one cared about Lao Liu's blatant preference.

"This is Tang Xin's mother, Dr. Chen." After Tang Xin finished her meal, it was Tang's mother's turn. Tang's mother came forward with a lunch box, and Zhao Gong introduced it to Master Liu.

"No wonder, my mother is a Ph.D., so the child is smart and I found out the reason, Sui Gen." Master Liu is an enthusiastic and cheerful person, and he became familiar with everyone in a short time.

Finally, it was Mr. Zhao's turn to prepare the meal, but Mr. Zhao took his lunch box and went to the No. 2 window. Master Liu hurriedly called him.

"Gong Zhao, we made a lot today. You can eat here. There is still some left."

"No, the rest can be used as their midnight snack. I'd better go to window number two." Waved his hand, Mr. Zhao went to window number two to get some food.

At first, everyone didn’t pay attention. It wasn’t until they saw the food in Zhao Gong’s lunch box that everyone knew the difference between the two windows.

Zhao Gong's meal consisted of steamed buns and dried vegetable soup, while their meal consisted of mutton, stir-fried vegetables, white rice and a bowl of soup.

Comrade Wang, who came with him, stood up and looked at the food of other people in the restaurant. "Their food is the same as Zhao Gong's." The man came back and said.

Everyone looked at Gong Zhao, who was eating his meal. He felt someone watching him. When he looked up, he saw that it was Tang Xin and others who were new researchers today. None of them moved their chopsticks. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, stood up and came over to them and asked: "What's wrong, comrades? Why don't you eat? Are you not used to it?" After that, he opened his mouth and called Liu. master.

"Gong Zhao, please don't call me Master Liu. It's not that the food is not delicious, but why do we eat differently?" Comrade Wang asked.

"Ah, this." Zhao Gong chuckled and said nonchalantly: "This No. 1 window is specially prepared for you scientific researchers. You usually have to use your brains when doing research, so naturally you have to eat better and take more supplements. "

"Then your work is also very important. Comrades in the army are also responsible for everyone's safety. You must also eat well." Tang Ma couldn't help but say.

"It's okay, it's okay. We rough guys, just have enough to eat. This is decided by the head of the base. You must not disobey the command." Zhao Gong said jokingly.

"Yes, fellow researchers, this is a rule set by the head of the base. Not only Engineer Zhao, but also other leaders and cadres of the base are the same. They all prepare meals at window two. Some researcher comrades have also raised objections before. , but the leader did not approve it. The most important thing in our base is you people, and everyone else is here to serve you. So, you can just eat and drink with peace of mind, and then devote yourself to scientific research. Come on." Master Liu came out of the back kitchen after hearing Gong Zhao's greeting. After hearing Gong Zhao's words, he also knew why. The same situation had happened before, so he was very familiar with explaining it.

"Master Liu is right. If you are really embarrassed, work harder and try to research it as soon as possible. Then we will eat meat together every day, haha." Zhao Gong said.

These words left everyone speechless. Comrade Wang, who had spoken just now, sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating with his head lowered. Seeing his appearance, the others sat down quietly and began to eat separately. However, there was no more talking on the table, and everyone finished the meal quietly.
