"Leader, this is the document sent by Commissioner Zhou."

Gu Wenjie's assistant knocked on the door and walked in, placing a document on the table and saying, "Commissioner Zhou's assistant said that the leader should take a look at it as soon as possible."

"What is this? Oh, it's the wireless communication development plan. I see."

Gu Wenjie picked it up and nodded after taking a look, saying that he had discussed this with Zhou Fengnian in the office last time. After he became the deputy leader of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, he would be in charge of this aspect.

However, before he was promoted, he had already summarized the development plan and handed it to him, so he was not afraid that he would steal the credit.

Gu Wenjie had nothing urgent to do at the moment, so he opened Zhou Fengnian's development plan and started reading it.

"Oh? It's more detailed than last time, and there's a planned development. Not bad."

"Combined development of military and civilian use, technology can earn foreign funds and use it to feed back to the country. It is indeed your consistent idea, Commissioner Zhou, but this time you want to develop it domestically at the same time."

"Electronic information technology is likely to change future combat trends"

The further he looked, the more solemn Gu Wenjie's expression became. Especially after seeing the impact of electronic information technology on war, Gu Wenjie suddenly thought of the recent provocation of the Southern Monkeys against them.

They find this kind of ungrateful behavior very hard to tolerate. If it continues, war might break out.

The plan submitted by Zhou Fengnian happened to be related to the military reform of the troops.

It was also very clear, using unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to obtain intelligence information, and then analyzing and detecting it to guide bombing strikes.
The core still sounds like guerrilla warfare, but their spies were local farmers everywhere, so guerrilla warfare allowed them to advance and retreat freely.

Now the only thing left is to replace the local farmers as spies with drones, special reconnaissance forces, satellites, computer analysis, etc.

If this development continues, even if a war breaks out in another place in the future, the enemy's base will be filled with their "local farmers" acting as spies.

"If it is technically possible, then it is really possible to conduct an informationized war. You are right. If we have all the information about the enemy, then this war will be easier to fight!"

Gu Wenjie was thinking as he read, and before he knew it, a long time had passed. He was still looking at the proposal submitted by Zhou Fengnian until the end of get off work.

It was not until the secretary knocked on the door and asked if he wanted to prepare dinner that Gu Wenjie realized that he had been watching for so long.

"Go get ready. I might have to stay a little longer today."

After Gu Wenjie finished speaking, he circled a key point on the plan submitted by Zhou Fengnian, and then marked: "It will have a far-reaching impact on the future development of our country's militarization. Please review it."

After writing this comment, Gu Wenjie still felt that it was not serious enough, so he wrote his own name after Zhou Fengnian's name.

When the secretary brought back dinner, Gu Wenjie handed the plan document to the secretary and said solemnly: "Give this to the leader of xxx, and remember to ask the leader to review it as soon as possible."

"Yes, leader."

The secretary took the document and took a look at it. He found that it was the one he had sent over in the afternoon. He was secretly surprised.

What did this Commissioner Zhou write? Why did the leader take so long to read it? And he had to send it to the leader at such a late hour.

After dinner, Zhou Fengnian went to the study to do research. This small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft contains a lot of technology.

There are at least a dozen technologies that are not available in China, and the power and endurance issues alone are enough to keep Zhou Fengnian busy for a long time.

If there is a problem in research and development, Zhou Fengnian will directly use simulation times to try to solve it in the simulation space.

Fortunately, twenty-four hours in the simulated space does not mean that much time has passed in reality.

Theoretically, Zhou Fengnian can use it all the time, but continuous use of the simulation space puts too much mental strain on him. He can only use it three times a day, then Zhou Fengnian must take a break.

Otherwise he might faint.

Three times would make him feel weak all over, so Zhou Fengnian used it twice a day.

Today, when studying the endurance power problem, Zhou Fengnian quickly encountered a problem, and he could not get any useful results without experiments, so he immediately used a simulation.

In the simulated space, the experiments were conducted continuously for twenty-four hours.

When the time was up, Zhou Fengnian raised his head a little tiredly, and suddenly saw Zhou Yan standing next to him, which scared him.

Zhou Fengnian took a breath and said, "Wife, tell me next time. I was really scared just now."

Zhou Yan put her hand on Zhou Fengnian's forehead, and then asked worriedly: "I knocked on the door and called you just now, but you didn't answer, so I came in to check. You were so tired that you fell asleep, do you still want to work?"

"That's not sleeping, just closing his eyes and resting for a while, maybe he ate too much just now."

Zhou Fengnian explained that when he was using the simulation space, he really had no reaction to news from the outside world.

He was a little tired, but his physical condition was no different from that of a young man. He just had been conducting research and experiments for 24 hours in a row, and he was still a little tired.

"Still being stubborn, if you do this again, I will go find a health care doctor."

Zhou Yan pulled Zhou Fengnian and said, "Go and have a rest. Don't be busy today."

"Just a little while longer, an hour will do, and I'll finish this job."

Zhou Fengnian had just made a major breakthrough in the simulation space, and he had to at least summarize it before taking a rest.

But it will have to wait till tomorrow.

Zhou Yan was not ignorant of the general situation, but after letting go of her hand, she still warned him, "One hour. If you don't rest after that, I will come to find you."

"Don't worry, I'll have a good chat with you then."

Zhou Fengnian could see that Zhou Yan wanted to talk to him. He had indeed spent less time with his family recently, and his son had also left home to go to school, so he had to take some time to relax.

An hour passed quickly, and Zhou Fengnian summarized and recorded the research results obtained in the experimental space.

After checking again and confirming that everything was correct, he stretched, packed up, and prepared to go to the factory tomorrow to continue his research.

The conditions are not good now. If Zhou Fengnian wants to experiment, he can only use the simulation space. This is the most powerful laboratory in the world. He can simulate any material he wants.

The reason why others think that Zhou Fengnian can always find the correct research and development direction is because Zhou Fengnian has conducted countless experiments in the simulation space.

After cleaning up, Zhou Fengnian washed up and then lay down on the bed to rest.

But Zhou Yan obviously couldn't sleep now. After pushing Zhou Fengnian, she said, "You know, Sister Yujie also knows about our son and Bai Qingan now. She even told me about it today."

"Oh? What did she say?" Zhou Fengnian asked curiously. After he talked with Zhou Xianyang last time, the boy seemed to have listened to him, and he never cared about it since then.

"She's just like you. She doesn't want to be in charge and says that children should solve their own problems."

Zhou Yan smiled and continued, "But she seems to be quite optimistic about our Xian Yang, and even asked me if I minded Qing An being a few years older.
Of course I don't mind. Qing'an knows me well, and it would save me a lot of trouble if she could marry into the family."

If Bai Qingan hadn't had such broad vision and hadn't had such thoughts before, she would have guessed that this girl would have been married by now.

Even now, there are many people pursuing Bai Qing'an, but Zhou Yan is still a little worried about her son. It will take another four or five years before he can get married.

Although the two families could think of a way and it wouldn't be a problem to get the marriage certificate in advance, in the end it still depends on the two children.

Zhou Fengnian listened for a long time and just heard Zhou Yan worrying about nothing.

After she became the director of the Women's Federation, she also arranged many marriages. Even Zhou Xiaomei was introduced by her. However, when it came to her own son, Zhou Yan became anxious and worried.

Zhou Fengnian put his arm around Zhou Yan's waist and said, "Don't think too much, wife. Let the children handle their own problems. Take a rest."

Zhou Yan was immediately unhappy after hearing this, and poked Zhou Fengnian on the forehead with his backhand, saying: "Even if you don't intervene, you as a father have to help him, you can't just ignore everything."

"He's already in college, how can I help him? I can't just pin a research invention on him, that would be a lie."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he thought of Zhou Xianyang being assigned to a computer school, so he continued: "If he is studious, I will give him a call and ask him to learn more from the teacher. I will also go to Tsinghua University to teach a few classes when I have time. Is that okay?"

The rest depends on Zhou Xianyang himself, and Zhou Fengnian can only open some insignificant back doors.

If he really had no ability, even if Zhou Fengnian pushed him up, Zhou Xianyang would still fall down in the end.

"Don't worry. He studied with me for so long in high school. He knows the most about computers. There is no one among my classmates who knows more about computers than him."

What Zhou Fengnian said was true. There was a computer in his study. When Zhou Fengnian was too busy to use it, Zhou Xianyang would go over and play quietly for a while.

In just over a year, I became very proficient in using computers and even learned programming by reading books on my own.

In fact, Zhou Fengnian didn't need to say hello, as Dean Pang knew that Zhou Xianyang was his son when he saw the file. However, in order to comfort Zhou Yan, Zhou Fengnian agreed immediately.

Only after hearing from Zhou Fengnian that he would go to school to take care of his son did Zhou Yan go to bed and rest with peace of mind.

Late at night, most people are asleep.

However, a few leaders are still busy. Recently, the situation at home and abroad has not been very good. Although the relationship with Ame has improved, the relationship with the Russians has deteriorated.

The deputy leader now only sleeps for a short time a day. The more he rests, the more things will accumulate.

It's just past ten o'clock now. According to previous practice, he will probably be busy until about one o'clock before he can rest.

Reaching out to take the document that had been handed over long ago, the deputy leader quickly noticed the comments written by Gu Wenjie on it and couldn't help but become curious.
"So this is what Comrade Fengnian is responsible for after his promotion. But Comrade Wenjie is so concerned about this."

After the deputy leader finished speaking, he began to flip through the book. At first, he just nodded as he read, thinking to himself that he was worthy of being the benchmark scientist that had been decided upon, as his understanding of technology far exceeded that of others.

And even this aspect is involved. The comments in the file are really correct.

The deputy leader thought of Zhou Fengnian’s file, which contained the evaluation of Zhou Fengnian by the previous leader. There was a sentence in it that he found very interesting.

"When you see Zhou Fengnian patting his chest, just trust him directly."

This is for the successor to see, and it is also the conclusion reached by the former leader after several years of working together.

Zhou Fengnian doesn't promise results easily, but once he does, he will definitely do it with some room for maneuver.

After seeing the back of the plan, which touched upon the role that electronic information technology could play in war, the deputy leaders subconsciously sat up straight.

After reading it all, the deputy leader pondered for a while, then highlighted the part about the application of electronic information technology in war, and wrote comments similar to those of Gu Wenjie.

He had also engaged in guerrilla warfare, so he could naturally see the changes involved, but his ideas were similar to Gu Wenjie's.

This is a direction, but we cannot be sure that it is the right direction.

But you can let others take a look at it and discuss it at the next meeting.

The deputy leader then called his assistant and asked him to circulate the plan document to other people for their review.

------

"Professor Zhou, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

At the gate of Tsinghua University, Dean Pang saw Zhou Fengnian getting out of the car, walked up to him and shook his hand.

Zhou Fengnian said after seeing this: "President Pang, why are you still waiting for me at the door? I can just go in and find you."

"Our computer school has moved to a new location. We're worried that you won't be able to find it."

Dean Pang smiled and said, "Besides, if those students knew you were coming, they would definitely rush over to stop you. As the dean, I have to escort you."

Zhou Fengnian is also a celebrity, the father of computer in China. The last time he came to Tsinghua University to give a lecture, he was almost surrounded by people. Since then, Zhou Fengnian has been a little scared.

After arriving at Dean Pang's office, Zhou Fengnian spoke out his purpose: "Dean Pang, I'm a little embarrassed to say this, my son has been assigned to our school, his mother is worried and wants me to come and see him.
But don't worry, I won't get involved in anything. I'll just take time out to teach a semester's worth of classes. Do you think this is convenient?"

"It's convenient, so convenient!"

Dean Pang smiled happily after hearing this and said, "I have also learned about Zhou Xianyang's performance in school. Although he is the youngest, he performs very well and is very popular."

He knew without asking that Zhou Fengnian would be teaching a class that would definitely include Zhou Xianyang.

But it doesn’t matter. Special classes can benefit students from the entire school. Dean Pang hopes that Zhou Fengnian will give them more classes.

He wanted to talk to Zhou Xianyang in private and ask his son to call Zhou Fengnian over.

Dean Pang said, "Professor Zhou, I'll take care of this matter and try not to waste your time."

The classes at this time are not so tight and formal, it’s okay to insert a course in between, not to mention that the school has just started.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Fengnian suggested taking a walk around the school, but it was obvious from his expression that he wanted to see his son, so Dean Pang did not stop him.

Just let his assistant follow him and let the students surround him.
