Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 118 Preparations, Personnel
After Li Weidong and his two fathers-in-law left, he went to the research institute for a tour. Some of the technicians were producing materials, some were repairing equipment, and some were drawing blueprints...

Li Weidong found several engineers and his teacher and asked them to go to the conference room for a meeting. Then Li Xuedong took them away, first asked them to go to the conference room, and then went to call Wang Xinyi and others.

Soon, all the institute's leaders arrived. Li Weidong sat in the main seat and said, "Our institute's next project has been submitted. If approved by higher-ups, we may need to relocate, so everyone should be prepared. Of course, the institute will definitely need personnel to stay behind. When you return, discuss the matter and see if those remaining personnel have a batch of defensive radars, computers, and various weapons already manufactured. I'll give you a list when the time comes. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

Professor Lin said, "Director, I don't know what this project is about and why it needs to be transferred?"

"The code name of this project is Jinwu. It stands for Controlled Nuclear Fusion Power Station, or a Nuclear Power Station. Although the leaders have not approved it, I am very sure that this thing will not be built in the Forbidden City, so everyone should be prepared." Li Weidong said.

Everyone was shocked. The mushroom egg was just born, and we are building a nuclear power plant?
Engineer Gao said, "Director, we don't have any research on nuclear energy. Do we need to ask our superiors for experts to assist us in construction?"

"For the time being, we won't have to wait and see what happens later. I've almost prepared the specific plan. The main focus in the early stages is construction. First, build the main structure, and then we'll take defensive measures. This time, the defensive measures are stricter than those at the research institute. During production, we must have sufficient firepower. We must produce 10 times the amount of defensive weapons at the research institute. This must be done. If the enemy reaches our nuclear power plant, it would be like detonating a nuclear bomb, so defense must be the top priority. I don't have anything to do these days, so I'll go to the mountains in Changping to see if there's any that meets the requirements. After the higher-ups approve it, we'll discuss the details of the relocation."

"Okay, director."

"clear."

"clear."

……

Everyone responded one after another.

"The arrangements for those left behind must also be prepared in advance, and we should try our best to take care of those who have elderly people at home, those who have just gotten married, and those whose wives have just given birth," said Li Weidong.

Everyone agreed.

"Okay, does anyone have anything else to say? If not, let's adjourn the meeting." Li Weidong said.

Everyone shook their heads. Li Weidong gestured to adjourn the meeting and led the way out.

As soon as Li Weidong arrived at the office, Zhou Xiaolin, Wang Xinyi and Yang Ruoxi followed him.

"Brother Dong, does our research institute really need to move to another location?" Zhou Xiaolin asked.

"As long as it is approved, it will definitely need to be changed. The superiors will not allow us to conduct nuclear tests in the country's capital. Let's prepare first." Li Weidong said.

"Okay, I understand." Wang Xinyi said.

Yang Ruoxi also nodded.

"Arrange for everyone to stay at the research institute. The woman is pregnant and there may be radiation in that place, so you stay at home to look after the house." Li Weidong explained.

"No, I'll go with you." Zhou Xiaolin said.

"Let me go. I'm the deputy director and I can help you deal with some trivial matters in the institute." Wang Xinyi said.

"I'll go, Sister Xinyi. If you go, our house won't have the main equipment. It's safer for me to go," Yang Ruoxi said. ...

The three girls started arguing over who should follow Li Weidong to build a nuclear power plant, and Li Weidong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. No one is allowed to go. I can go by myself. We should all stay at home to recuperate. You just need to take care of yourselves.

Nuclear power plants are not suitable for pregnant women. There is some radiation, which is not good for the fetus. It's not like I won't come back. I will come back every few days. If you miss me, give me a call. I'm back."

Li Weidong said unhappily.

The three women stopped talking after hearing what Li Weidong said. They looked at Li Weidong and saw his serious expression and dared not speak. The three women exchanged glances for a while, and Zhou Xiaolin said:

"Brother Dong, if you don't want us to go, how about this? Transfer Xiao'e over here and let her accompany you. There will be someone to take care of you over there, and we'll feel more at ease."

"Yes, Dongzi, we are indeed a little worried about you going there alone." Wang Xinyi said.

"Yes, we will ask Xiao'e to keep a close eye on you to prevent you from having affairs with other women." Yang Ruoxi said seriously.

Li Weidong...

Li Weidong glanced at Yang Ruoxi unhappily and said, "You know everyone in the institute, so how could I possibly mess around with girls? Besides, we're in the mountains, and there's nothing there except wild animals."

"That's not necessarily true. Isn't there a village nearby? Maybe you suddenly feel like going to the village to choose a concubine." Yang Ruoxi said.

After hearing what Yang Ruoxi said, Wang Xinyi and Zhou Xiaolin also looked at Li Weidong, and it seemed that they also believed what Yang Ruoxi said.

Li Weidong glared at Yang Ruoxi fiercely, and Yang Ruoxi glared back at him. Li Weidong didn't intend to pay any attention to Yang Ruoxi. He first tried to appease the two girls. He made a note of Yang Ruoxi in his little notebook and would deal with her in the evening.

"Xiaolin, Xinyi, don't listen to her nonsense. I have enough with you guys. Why would I go out and flirt with other girls? As for Xiao'e, it was Xiao'e who took the initiative. I didn't have that intention at all." Li Weidong explained quickly.

"Others take the initiative, and you don't know how to refuse." Zhou Xiaolin said unhappily.

Li Weidong was choked by this sentence and didn't know what to say. He could only touch his head awkwardly.

Wang Xinyi leaned close to Zhou Xiaolin's ear and began to mutter something. Zhou Xiaolin blushed after hearing a few words, then her eyes lit up as she listened. She nodded, rolled her eyes at Li Weidong, and walked out of Li Weidong's office with Wang Xinyi and Yang Ruoxi.

Li Weidong was completely bewildered. What had she said? Why did she give him a cold look before leaving? Li Weidong thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer, so he gave up. Then Li Weidong prepared to call squad leader Wang and go to the machine repair shop to second Lou Xiaoe.

Li Weidong went to look for Squad Leader Wang and finally found him in the kitchen. Squad Leader Wang was listening to Nan Yi bragging. Li Weidong stood behind them and listened for a while.

Soon Li Weidong couldn't stand it anymore. It was too fake. It could only fool an older bachelor like Squad Leader Wang. Anyone with a little experience wouldn't believe it.
