After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 303, Episode 0323: Border Situation (Part Two)

"Is the sacrifice significant?" Lin Yuexi asked.

Zheng Hongjun was silent for a moment, then said in a heavy tone, "More than six thousand heroes sacrificed their lives."

War inevitably leads to death.

Although their technology has made a great leap forward in almost every aspect thanks to Lin Yuexi's existence, compared with M, which is nearly a hundred years ahead of us, we still lag behind M in many areas.

The same applies to the military industry.

The YX series is very powerful, but it is only a small part of the vast array of products. Due to the nature of certain materials, it is not yet possible for everyone to have one. Many warriors are still using the old ones from before.

Our tank technology hasn't made any major breakthroughs, while the tanks used by India this time are the latest models purchased from the US.

To be honest, if it weren't for Leng Zhi's skillful command, which shocked the Indians with the YX series right from the start, and the Indian soldiers' cowardly yet stylish manner, victory would have been inevitable. We wouldn't have been unprepared if we had decided to fight, but it definitely wouldn't have happened so quickly.

Others might not understand these things, but Zheng Hongjun, who was also a military commander, basically understood after reading the battle report. He was so jealous that he wished he could take Leng Zhi's place himself.

The battle with India not only shocked India, but also the world.

In the past, we aided M and C, fought against Y and M, and won, but all the victories were very fierce. Those arrogant people were unwilling to admit their defeats, so they went around saying that our victories were all due to the sacrifice of human lives.

We were angry, but even more so, we were saddened.

I am saddened by the many soldiers who bravely sacrificed their lives to defend our country.

At the same time, we ourselves know in our hearts that what they say is harsh, but it is indeed the truth. Just because our technology is not as good as theirs, if we want to win, we can only shed more blood than they do.

That's why scientists work day and night on their research, even though a group of highly educated people know that overwork can easily lead to sudden death.

Everyone wants to change this situation and no one wants to see our soldiers fall before advanced weapons while armed with outdated ones.

What they really want to see is that once our equipment is revealed, the enemy won't even dare to fight!

Zheng Hongjun glanced at Lin Yuexi, who was engrossed in eating a crepe, and the heaviness in his eyes gradually dissipated, slowly replaced by a dazzling light.

Thinking of the massive machine already formed inside, if they succeed, they'll have a devastating weapon at sea!
It's almost here! The day they've been waiting for is almost here!

Lin Yuexi was unaware that Zheng Hongjun had such high expectations for her. After swallowing the biscuit in her mouth, she asked, "When did this happen?"

Zheng Hongjun knew what she wanted to ask, but instead of answering her question directly, he said, "The martyrs were all buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery a month ago."

Some martyrs were sent back to their ancestral cemeteries for burial, so the procedures took some time to complete. The few who were taken back to their hometowns in the south for burial last month were the last few.

"The arrangements for the families of martyrs, such as compensation, are all handled by someone."

Zheng Hongjun forced a smile, "Don't worry, we're getting better and better at this now."

He knew what Academician Lin was worried about. In the past, communication was inconvenient, and war was fought all over the country, so there were many imperfections in the handling of the martyrs' affairs after their deaths.

It's a sad thing to say, but we haven't been able to find the remains of many of the martyrs who participated in the War of Resistance against Japan.

Lin Yuexi nodded and silently ate her pancake.

They are all too busy. What they need to do is create, not just copy. So there are many, many problems to overcome. Often, a group of people sit in a conference room with the lights on all night. They are all reluctant to waste a single moment, and they can't afford to waste any.

The victory against India was a cause for celebration for others, as it enhanced my country's national prestige.

But for them, even greater pressure was mounting.

None of the countries that once oppressed us want to see us stand up again. How could they possibly want to see our national prestige truly rise again?
Therefore, they will inevitably put pressure on us from other aspects. On land, the war with India has indeed served as a deterrent, and at least for the time being, neighboring countries should not dare to start another war with us, even if other major powers instigate it later.

In the air, we now have new fighter jets and new radars.

Therefore, the sea, which is weak in every aspect, is very likely to become the target of those people.

That's why none of them dared to waste time resting, including Lin Yuexi.

If it weren't for...

She also didn't want to waste time going out for a walk today.

As for the propaganda war and economic war that later generations are familiar with, they are basically only used when the enemy has received some attention in terms of military strength. If one side feels that it can completely crush the other in terms of military strength, why would it play these roundabout games? Wouldn't it be better to just fight directly?
But in the eyes of many countries today, they are the latter, even though we have never lost since the founding of our nation.

Lin Yuexi sighed inwardly. Their technology was still too backward; they needed to work harder!

Zheng Hongjun silently watched the young academician walking and eating a pancake, feeling more worry than admiration.

Will eating while walking here upset my stomach?
On second thought, it seems that all researchers have stomach problems.

He used to think that soldiers were just brave, but after being transferred here to be in charge of security and coming into contact with more scientists, he realized that soldiers are brave so as not to bleed in wartime, but these researchers are brave, they are truly risking their lives.

Before she had even finished a wrap filled with bean sprouts and beef, an elderly man with gray hair approached Lin Yuexi, carrying a notebook.

"Academician Lin, so you're here. I have a question."

Lin Yuexi chewed and swallowed the rolled pancake in a few bites, took the notebook, looked at it for a moment, and then began to explain it in a gentle voice.

Turn directly ahead and head towards the office building.

Zheng Hongjun: "..."

"Ah~"

These people are so damn shrewd, it often makes him feel inferior.

He leaned closer to Xu Shan and said, "Hasn't he already made a breakthrough? I heard that Academician Lin used to be in poor health. He can't keep working so hard. You should try to persuade him."

Xu Shan gave him a blank look and said, "Do you think I can persuade you?"

How did you come to the conclusion that I have such a big reputation?
Zheng Hongjun: "..."

Forget it.

A few moments later, he leaned closer again, looking rather cheeky. "I heard that everyone in Liaoning Province has already finished assembling their parts and is just waiting for us. Is that true?"

Zheng Hongjun was incredibly envious of the security personnel in Liaoning Province. Although they hadn't driven out yet, they could at least see a general outline of it from afar.

Unlike his side, although he was in charge of the most confidential part, precisely because of its importance, he couldn't see anything.

Xu Shan remained silent, his face expressionless, but he was secretly delighted.

Academician Lin is the chief engineer of this major project, and he will definitely be there. As Academician Lin's personal bodyguard, he will naturally not be absent from that important moment.

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

However, glancing at the man beside him scratching his head, and mindful of their nearly two-year friendship, Xu Shan didn't show his smugness. Instead, he kindly offered a word of advice:
"You can apply then."

Whether you can get approved depends on your own abilities.
