Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"Ugh, these endless meetings are so boring and long." Leaving the office building, Qin Yang looked at the starry sky and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yangzi, let's go, we'll discuss it more when we get home." Qin Baoguo was still in high spirits.

"Dad, you go back first, Chaozi and I still have some things to take care of."

At this moment, Qin Baoguo trusted his son's words completely, agreeing with everything he said: "Okay, then you guys go ahead."

Zhang Chao felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Although he already held a position of power in the factory, he was still not even twenty years old. He had been busy with work lately, which had been quite dull. Now, he was about to relive some of the old fun!

The two of them quickly and nimbly climbed up the outer wall of the guesthouse, approaching Lin Heping's room. It was quiet inside, without a single sound.

What's going on? Did the story end, and now they're studying the mysteries of the human body? There should be some noise, even if it's just the creaking of the bed.

"Hey, what are you doing? With skills like that, how can you be a thief?" A shout suddenly came from below.

Zhang Chao immediately wanted to run away, but Qin Yang had already recognized the voice: "Brother Lin, what are you doing down there?"

"Why? Isn't it because of what you guys did, listening to stories!" Lin Heping said with some helplessness, "I sent her back."

What?

Both of them were stunned. The girl took the initiative to come and throw herself into his arms, and he just wasted such a good opportunity?

"What are you guys doing?"

"Brother Lin, Wang Fang is a good girl. She mustered up the courage to come over, showing you her sincere feelings," Qin Yang said, "And you just rejected her like that?"

"Your Brother Lin already has kids who are two or three years old. How could I do something like that?" Lin Heping rolled his eyes at Qin Yang. "I know you mean well, but couldn't you have asked me first?"

Qin Yang then realized.

Ordinary soldiers are definitely unmarried young men, but someone like Lin Heping, who is already a commander in the division's reconnaissance unit, is definitely married and has children!

It was still the early 1980s, and messing around with relationships between men and women wasn't just morally corrupt, but could lead to serious consequences!

"Sorry, Brother Lin. What is your wife like?"

"My wife is a military doctor in the army. Forget it, let's not talk about that. Let's continue drinking and chatting. By the way, what are the plans for tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow we plan to go to the vicinity of the capital to take a look at an abandoned iron and steel plant," Qin Yang said.

"Well, I have nothing to do either, so I'll go with you."

"Great, then tomorrow we'll take two air guns and try to hunt some game if we get the chance," Qin Yang immediately decided.

When going out for inspection, one should have a tourist mindset, combining work and life, which is more appropriate.

The next morning, the 212 drove out of Factory 960 and headed straight for the Shahe area of the capital.

The car passed through the mountains and came to the plains, and the destination was getting closer and closer. In this era, there were no tall buildings here, just the appearance of ordinary rural villages.

"The past era is really感慨让人啊." Zhou Yongfei in the passenger seat began to tell stories: "That year, we put forward a new goal to catch up with Britain and the United States, and to double the steel production. So, a vigorous mass steelmaking movement was launched across the country. Earth furnaces rose from the ground, and every household contributed iron pots and iron basins…"

"Yes, millions of tons of iron products were wasted from every household that year, and then millions of tons of slag were smelted," Qin Yang in the back seat said with emotion. In that era, there were many similar things. Sparrows were almost wiped out as one of the four pests.

"Fortunately, the iron and steel plant we are going to uses an industrial small blast furnace. Although it can only produce pig iron, it is still regular and scientific, and it can also smelt qualified pig iron, which is much better than the earth furnaces in rural areas," Zhou Yongfei said.

Can it smelt qualified pig iron? Qin Yang suddenly frowned: "Could it be that this factory is still in production?"

"Producing what? The capital has large-scale steel plants, so why would they need this kind of iron and steel plant?"

"That's hard to say," Qin Yang said, "Even if they are producing civilian stoves, the factory can still survive."

Pig iron comes out of the blast furnace, which can be further smelted into steel, or it can be directly cast into products. Civilian stoves for burning, radiators for factories and enterprises, etc., all use this kind of cast iron. In recent years, people's living standards have improved, and there is more demand for heating.

"There is a chimney smoking at eleven o'clock in the distance," Lin Heping, who was sitting next to Qin Yang, said.

Smoking?

Zhou Yongfei looked over, and his heart skipped a beat. Indeed, it was smoking, indicating that the iron and steel plant there was in operation!

If it is an abandoned iron and steel plant, the superior can of course coordinate and give the empty factory building here to 960, but if it is producing here, it will be difficult!

"Ugh, this kind of small blast furnace smelting pollutes the environment, and it's still in this kind of place. When the northwest wind blows, it will blow all the pollutants to the capital. Master, stop the car!"

"Since we are here, let's go and have a look." Zhou Yongfei knew that Qin Yang wanted to give up.

"I'm not going, it's boring. Director Zhou, you can go and have a look. Brother Lin and I will wander around here. When you come back in the afternoon, just pick me up at this place."

"Okay." Zhou Yongfei knew that Lin Heping's identity was special, and it was also good for Qin Yang to accompany him hunting.

The two got out of the car, watching the car continue to drive away. Lin Heping looked at Qin Yang calmly: "Do you have any ideas? Xiaoyang, I have to remind you that sabotaging factory production is a serious crime. I will not fool around with you."

Qin Yang was stunned: "Brother Lin, what kind of person do you take me for? Can I do that kind of thing? We are just hunting."

Lin Heping nodded: "Okay, then let's wander around here."

In less than half an hour, the two of them had already shot a pheasant. Looking at the sun overhead, Qin Yang said: "Brother Lin, it's still early, why don't we make a fire here and roast this pheasant? Your troops should often conduct outdoor survival training, right? Let me taste your craftsmanship."

"Okay, of course, no problem." Lin Heping nodded: "You get some water, let's clean it up first."

The fire was burning vigorously, and soon the aroma of meat filled the air.

"In the army, if you want to improve your meals, you have to find a way yourself. We often look forward to going to outdoor training, and we can often eat good things," Lin Heping boasted to Qin Yang while turning the roast chicken, occasionally glancing at the distance, but not taking it to heart.

"Well, Brother Lin, I really admire you…"

Before he could finish speaking, an untimely voice sounded: "My chicken ran away this morning and disappeared. I searched for half a day, but I didn't expect it to be roasted here! You two stole my chicken, are you going to the police station with me, or will you pay me five yuan?"
