Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 92: Seventy years old, isn’t that the age when one should strive for success? (Subscription required)

It will take another two years until the first artificial satellite is launched into space.

In this era without spy satellites overhead and because of the closed environment, there were no spies everywhere. Our mushroom cloud, which was as small as it could be, did not cause any waves in the outside world.

Of course, we couldn't publicize it on a large scale. Instead, we quietly dug a hole and built a factory in the southwest region that specialized in producing this type of bomb.

If someone dares to threaten us with a nuclear bomb next time, we will let them admire our tiniest mushroom cloud.

As for whether people will suspect that these are mushrooms we made ourselves, let them guess.

Because rabbits are good at hiding things, the successful development of the fuel-air bomb caused some sensation in a limited range, but ordinary people still didn't know that we already had something whose power was second only to nuclear weapons.

At the same time, in order to be able to drop this super bomb on the enemy, our H-5 plan was put on the agenda eight years in advance.

If everything goes well, the old H-5 should be able to take off in two years. After all, in the original history, it took us only three years to send this aircraft into the sky without the help of Big Brother.

Because the H-5 is only a light fighter, for strategic needs, the development of the H-6 was also arranged at the same time.

With the need to develop our own bomber, even though we had just been rejected by Big Brother not long ago, we still sent a delegation to apply for assistance from Big Brother again.

As for Yang Ning, who developed the fuel-air explosive bomb, he was just promoted to a higher level.

After all, the fuel-air bomb has not yet been made public, and considering Yang Ning's personal safety, there was no grand commendation meeting.

In other words, it took Yang Ning only one year after graduation to complete a double jump from a level 10 technician to an level 8 engineer.

"This is really an era that only values ability and not energy!" Holding the eighth-level engineer certificate given by President Guo just now, Yang Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Just when people were feeling relieved about the success of the fuel-air bomb, another happy event happened.

It turns out that after more than half a year, our urea steel has also completed industrial mass production.

After hearing the news, friends in the same camp came to us for inspection and application if they had needs.

After the inspection, faced with the excellent performance of urea steel, they placed orders one after another. Some countries even proposed technology exchange, exchanging the technology we lack for the production process of urea steel.

We agreed after a little consideration. After all, the production process of urea steel had already been exchanged with Big Brother and John Bull, so there was no need to keep it secret.

Even if we don't change, we won't make much money after Big Brother starts mass production.

"Yang Ning, I've got my job!" After getting home from get off work, before Yang Ning had time to share his joy of promotion and salary increase with his family, Hu Yinghong told Yang Ning the good news.

"Really? Where were you assigned?" Yang Ning asked Hu Yinghong.

"The 301 Hospital." Hu Yinghong was almost sick from being idle at home for such a long time. Seeing that other people in the hospital, both men and women, had their own things to do, but she was the only young person who was doing nothing at home all day, Hu Yinghong was almost developing a sense of inferiority if she continued to stay there.

"301 Hospital?" Yang Ning was stunned at first, then he realized that this was the later Military General Hospital. Although this hospital and Zhongguancun belonged to the HD area, it was still ten kilometers away.

Yang Ning was worried about letting his wife travel such a long distance to and from get off work every day.

"How could it be that unit? It's too far away!" Yang Ning said as he looked at Hu Yinghong, whose belly was already very big.

"What can I do? If I go to another hospital, I'm afraid I'll have to retire." Hu Yinghong said helplessly.

She cherishes her identity as a soldier because it is not only a responsibility, but also a continuation of her parents' beliefs.

Medical resources are scarce now, and only one doctor from the General Military Hospital can retain his military status.

Yang Ning didn't dare to persuade Hu Yinghong to retire, but when he thought about the fact that she would have to commute dozens of kilometers to and from get off work in the future, Yang Ning felt a little conflicted.

It would have been fine if the data processing institute had not moved. After all, my commute to get off work is far, so it is reasonable to have a car to pick me up and drop me off. It would be okay to pick up Hu Yinghong along the way.

However, since the data processing institute moved here, his residence and workplace are right next to each other, and he is afraid that it will have a bad impact, so he now walks to and from get off work every day, and has already returned the car he used to own.

"Didn't they tell you when to go to work?" Yang Ning put down the briefcase in his hand and asked Hu Yinghong.

At this time, after hearing the conversation between the two, Yang Liushi, the mother, also came out of the kitchen and complained to Yang Ning: "Really? Why did you arrange a unit for Yinghong so far away?"

"Boss, can you talk to the leader and arrange a unit closer to Yinghong? After all, there are two children to take care of in the future. How can they be taken care of from such a far distance?"

"Mom, Yinghong is still a soldier. There is no unit nearby that can arrange for her!" Yang Ning said helplessly to his mother.

"Really?" Yang Liu looked at Yang Ning suspiciously and asked.

"Mom, the General Hospital for Military Personnel is the nearest unit." Hu Yinghong explained quickly.

Yang Liu didn't believe her son, but she still believed in what her daughter-in-law said.

Seeing Hu Yinghong also said so, he could only helplessly say: "Alas! You have worked hard all your life! I thought I could relax a little after raising you, but I didn't expect you to be such a worry.

Seeing that my second child is almost grown up, I didn’t expect that I would have to worry about my grandchildren in the future.”

Mrs. Yang Liu knew that she didn't know where Yang Ning would work in the future. If her daughter-in-law's workplace was so far away, her two grandsons would still have to be left to her to take care of.

"Mom, they are your grandchildren after all. You have worked hard!" Yang Ning looked at his mother sighing and said with a smile.

He can only give up now. Anyway, your two children are about to be born. If you don't rely on their mother, do you really want to throw the two children to Grandpa Hu?
"Oh? It's not impossible!" Yang Ning suddenly thought that although Mr. Hu was about to retire, he was still less than seventy years old.

Seventy years old is the right age to work hard, right? It should be easy to help take care of the two great-grandchildren, right?
