Scholars in the courtyard

When the car stopped again, Yang Xiaotao got out of the car and looked around.

This should be a military camp outside Forty-Nine City. There are many barracks around it. In addition to Kuiniu armored vehicles, there are also a large number of trucks parked nearby.

At this time, trucks came in one after another to transport a large amount of supplies. From a distance, there were rice, flour, and clothes and tents, which were stuffed into the Kuiniu armored vehicle.

Farther away, several Kuiniu armored vehicles were marked with red crosses, and some men in white coats were carrying items beside the vehicles.

Further away, the Kuiniu armored vehicle stationed at the station has started, making a rumbling sound, and is ready to set off at any time.

Finally, Yang Xiaotao saw the resident chief, Mr. Zhang. I saw him wearing a military uniform, standing behind Mr. Chen.

"Chief!"

Yang Xiaotao ran over quickly. Mr. Chen looked haggard and his body became even thinner.

I was very surprised to see Yang Xiaotao coming over.

Before he could ask, Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to tell the story, "Chief, two engineers and two senior technicians from our machinery factory are in Shicheng!"

"I'll take someone to pick him up!"

Yang Xiaotao said it easily, and Mr. Chen nodded silently.

This time, it came so suddenly that there was no time for warning.

This time, the impact was too great and the scope was too wide.

The attack caught them off guard, and the attack left them at a loss.

Right now, all they can do is send people to help and rescue as soon as possible.

Go organize people to help yourself.

Therefore, Mr. Chen did not persuade Yang Xiaotao to go back, but told him, "Be careful when you go!"

"clear!"

Then Mr. Chen went to the front to arrange the house. Mr. Zhang looked at the cars coming from the machinery factory and said with emotion, "This time, considering possible situations on the road, we have mobilized all the Kuiniu armored vehicles in Sijiu City."

"I didn't expect that when I ask you guys, you always say no, and I haven't taken pictures of any tasks. That's great, your machine factory has hidden so many good things all at once."

Yang Xiaotao smiled awkwardly, "As you always said, whenever you want it, don't we always finish it for you as soon as possible?"

"Nonsense, Wang Huzi and the others were ahead of me last time, as well as Han Xuanfeng from the south. This guy went to Haojing to show off his power, and they used this thing."

Yang Xiaotao was confused after hearing this. He really didn't know.

Mr. Zhang also knew that he had said too much, but there was no one else around, so he just said it. He might as well say more, "Let me tell you, that guy Lao Han resisted several rockets with this thing, and then He blinded the other side with just one face-to-face encounter.”

"Because of this, the alliance sent people to communicate and said they wanted to purchase our Kuiniu armored vehicle. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means that the other party also admits that this Kuiniu armored vehicle is not as good as us."

Mr. Zhang said proudly, but Yang Xiaotao frowned, "We won't agree."

"How is it possible? How can I give them such a good thing?"

"It's best to trade them with their best tanks."

Mr. Zhang added, but Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes.

"We can't even give them tanks. We can't make them if we want them. On the contrary, as long as they analyze the technology of the Kuiniu armored vehicle, it will be easy to copy it with the alliance's industrial strength."

Zhang Laozhuang is really like this. He usually only pays attention to the war and doesn't know much about production.

After listening to Yang Xiaotao's explanation, I understood why his superiors didn't agree with anything they said.

"Okay, we are the vanguard this time. We don't care about anything else. We build roads across mountains and rivers and build bridges all the way to Shunde."

"Okay, we'll just follow you and we'll separate when we come to Shicheng."

The two talked for a while, and the team had already loaded up the room.

Yang Xiaotao came to the car, replenished the car with some supplies, and then waited in the car.

After a while, Niu Jun started the car and followed slowly.

After leaving the station, the convoy ahead obviously began to speed up. Yang Xiaotao, who was sitting in the carriage, leaned directly on Wangcai and closed his eyes to sleep.

"Hello, Chief."

Just as Yang Xiaotao set off, a jeep stopped at the Red Star Machinery Factory, and then Yang Youning immediately stepped forward and saw Mr. Zhang getting out of the car.

At this time, Mr. Zhang's face was serious, and his originally stern face was filled with a hint of seriousness.

"Where is Yang Xiaotao."

"Chief, Comrade Yang Xiaotao went south to participate in the rescue."

"What?"

Mr. Zhang's face became more solemn.

Yang Youning asked carefully, "Chief, who are you looking for?"

Mr. Zhang took a deep breath, then shook his head, "It's okay."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

This came and went in a hurry, but Yang Youning can be sure that this matter of finding Yang Xiaotao is definitely not a trivial matter.

When Mr. Zhang left the machinery factory, he did not return to the office. Instead, he asked the driver to drive to the logistics office.

When we arrived at the logistics office, there was a busy scene all around.

The surrounding area is being cleaned up, and it is obvious that the earthquake last night had a great impact here.

The car stopped aside, and Mr. Zhang walked inside.

When you get to the office, knock on the door and walk in.

In the room, Mr. Qin was arranging tasks. When the two staff saw it was Mr. Zhang, they did not dare to look at him.

"You go and do your work first."

Mr. Qin pushed the two of them away, then stepped forward and closed the door, "Old Zhang, what's the matter with you coming here in such a hurry?"

"Old Qin, something happened at the research institute over there in Shicheng."

"What?"

"Shicheng, 751 Research Institute!"

Mr. Zhang affirmed again, and Mr. Qin's expression changed drastically.

"You mean"

"Yes, they are responsible for researching and producing compressors!"

"During this earthquake, the main building of the 751 Institute collapsed, and the damage inside was serious."

"It is very likely that the recent research data will be destroyed!"

The more Zhang Lao talked, the more heartbroken he became.

In the domestic engine research and development, multiple components are divided into various institutes, and experimental improvements are carried out according to design requirements.

Finally, difficulties are overcome, and then prototype tests are formed.

If the test is qualified, it can be officially produced.

But now, the institute responsible for researching the key parts has been severely damaged. If there is data loss, it means starting from scratch.

This will delay the research and development time.

"Oh my!"

Old Qin almost jumped in anxiety, "What's going on there? Hurry up and send people to rescue."

"I can't get in touch at all."

"I confirmed this from the air. The whole building has collapsed."

"What should we do? The preparations are almost done. We are just waiting for the engine. Is it too late to find someone else now?"

Old Qin asked suspiciously. Old Zhang took a deep breath, "I just went to the machinery factory. Isn't Yang Xiaotao studying aircraft engines? I want him to help. Maybe he has a design."

"That's true. This guy wants to study engines, so he must know something about it."

"Well, it's a pity that this guy followed the car to the south."

Old Qin was surprised, "What is he doing there?"

"It is said that there are two people in their machinery factory."

After Old Zhang finished speaking, Old Qin was helpless.

"For now, we can only make the worst plan and find someone else to study the design."

The two discussed it in the office. If it doesn't work, they will go to Yang Xiaotao in the end.

Shicheng No. 1 Machine Tool Factory.

Everything in the factory became unusually quiet after the earthquake.

The factory walls collapsed in many places, and dirt and dust were everywhere.

The dilapidated machines became more obvious with the sound of falling rocks.

The lights on the wall stopped flickering, and the static wires and poles hung overhead, looking so fragile that they would collapse at any time.

The factory was filled with an unpleasant smell, mixed with the smell of dirt, damaged machines, and burnt leather wires, which made people here cover their noses unconsciously.

At this moment, the entire machine tool factory was in a mess.

And this is just a microcosm of this city.

Imagine that there are houses collapsed in Sijiu City, 400 kilometers away. What will happen to Shicheng, which is 100 kilometers away from the epicenter?

When the earthquake occurred, the factory workers had already gone home to prepare for dinner.

There were not many people in the factory.

After a night, the number of people here gradually increased.

At this time, in the factory's staff accommodation area, under the ruins of a series of collapsed two-story buildings, Chen Bin and Pang Guo were huddled together, their faces dry and numb.

They came back early last night, and the two seventh-level workers stayed in the workshop for a while because they had to debug the machine.

They thought they would complete the task this time and return to Sijiu City.

But who could have thought that the next second would be a tremor.

Fortunately, the two of them had broadened their horizons and knew that this was an earthquake.

The two immediately got under the round table for dinner, curled up.

Then the ground began to shake, the cracks on the wall became larger and larger, and the roof finally couldn't bear it and began to tilt.

At this moment, the two burst out with a rapid speed, carrying the table directly to the root of the wall, just avoiding the impact of the roof.

But for this reason, the two leaned against the wall, and the left and right exits were blocked by wall bricks.

So, the two maintained their life activities in this space that was only one and a half meters long and less than half a meter wide.

Fortunately, neither of them was injured.

Except for not being able to get out and having nothing to eat or drink, everything else was still a blessing.

The two waited for rescue at the corner of the second floor.

But they waited and waited, but no one showed up.

Now, the two panicked.

It was okay if they didn't eat, but if they didn't drink water, they wouldn't be able to survive for a few days.

"Old Chen, are we so unlucky?"

Near noon, Pang Guo felt that there was no movement around him, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Chen Bin's lips were chapped, and he reached out to push the falling wall up, but the force was too small to do anything.

Fortunately, the stone wall didn't continue to collapse, and it was indeed the table that played a role.

"Alas, if we had known earlier, we wouldn't have delayed and wouldn't have stayed here. It's bad, an unprovoked disaster."

Chen Bin sighed, and Pang Guo nodded.

After a long silence, Pang Guo spoke again, but with a little loneliness, "Do you think someone will come to save us?"

"Yes, definitely."

Chen Bin said seriously, and Pang Guo nodded in agreement.

This is hope, and no one can deprive the other of hope without authorization.

So, when the sun was about to set again, the two felt that their bodies were about to lose consciousness.

After curling up for a long time, the body could not stretch, and the whole body was numb.

"Lao Chen, Lao Pang?"

"Are you there?"

Suddenly a voice came, and both of them were shocked.

But this voice, why is it a little familiar!

Yes, it's a comrade from the machinery factory.

"Lao Wang, I, we are all here."

Chen Bin immediately shouted with a hoarse voice, and Pang Guo also shouted beside him.

But just when the two were about to push the wall, the table suddenly made a creaking sound, and the two were scared and dared not move.

If the table can't hold up, the two of them will be crushed.

The old Wang below was anxious with a few people, and the leader was Secretary Peng from the machine tool factory.

"Quick, go up and save people."

Secretary Peng shouted loudly.

He felt that these two people were lucky.

The people around him were about to step forward and prepare to pull the collapsed wall apart with ropes, but before they could get to the second floor, the load-bearing wall on the first floor was mostly destroyed. At this time, everyone stepped on it and it immediately became shaky.

This not only scared the workers who came forward, but also Chen Bin and the other two who were hiding behind the table, because they felt their feet shaking just now, as if the earthquake had come again.

"Stop, everyone, step back, step back."

Secretary Peng shouted loudly, "No one should touch this wall!"

Everyone came back and dared not to rush forward again.

At this time, a Kuiniu Kuiniu armored vehicle was leaving the long team, and the tires were running fast on the undulating road.

On the passenger seat, Chen Gong held his stomach, fearing that he would vomit when he let go.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care. In his hands, the performance of the Kuiniu armored vehicle was fully utilized.

The master of driving made it as smooth as using one's arm.

"Old Chen, how long will it take?"

Yang Xiaotao drove while looking around, and Chen Gong did the same.

After careful observation, he pointed to the left front, "There is a big stone bridge, and it will be there ten miles north."

Yang Xiaotao listened and stepped on the accelerator again, and the car accelerated instantly.

At the same time, Chen Gong finally couldn't help it, opened the window and vomited outside.
