Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 227: The academic master who controls scores is terrifyingly strong

January 15, 1961, the 29th day of the 11th lunar month, was not a good day because it was cloudy but there was no snow.

As the saying goes, auspicious snow means a good harvest.

However, there has been no heavy snow for several consecutive years. Otherwise, the snow would melt into water in the spring and could be stored in the reservoir.

But there wasn't much snow, and there weren't many snowfalls.

Braving the cold wind, Zhao Mancang sent Zhao Huijun to school and drove to Lingjing Hutong.

I came here today to report to the leaders about the expansion of the 108 departments.

Because the matter was of great importance, Zhao Mancang had to prepare a relevant feasibility report in advance and then submit it to his leader.

The leader called last night and wanted us to come to the office to discuss the matter. They wanted to know Zhao Mancang’s specific thoughts.

Starting next month, Zhao Mancang will become the leader of Department 108. This is a done deal and nothing can be changed.

On the way back from the airport on the 10th, the leader of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street mentioned this matter to Zhao Mancang, and also mentioned to Zhao Mancang that the gold treasures in Mindanao were about to be dug up.

But the leaders never expected that Zhao Mancang would come up with such a plan.

There were several leaders sitting in the office, and Zhao Mancang was sitting opposite them. The situation looked a bit like an interview.

"Comrade Zhao Mancang, please first give a brief explanation of the plan you submitted."

"Good leader, the current predicament of the 108th Department is obvious. It has a high position, but it is suspended in mid-air, unable to keep its feet on the ground."

Zhao Mancang was not afraid of these leaders at all. He was very calm and spoke freely.

After Zhao Mancang briefly explained the difficulties faced by the 108 departments and the plans proposed, he waited for the leaders to ask questions.

This plan is actually very simple, which is to set up three directly affiliated institutions under the 108 departments, one of which is the existing intelligent agency for executing tasks.

Of course, it is not the elite team of thirteen people as before, but a direct expansion of recruitment. Three teams need to be established, each with at least twelve people.

For these three teams, each team needs to be equipped with five to seven logistics support personnel.

The second institution is the Institute of Weapons Science and Technology. The number of people in this institution is not fixed. As long as they are scientific researchers, they will all be accepted. No one will be rejected.

There are two research directions. One is to develop weapons and equipment that enhance the combat capabilities of individual soldiers, such as weapons with stronger and more powerful firepower.

The second is to develop in the direction of rapid mobility and communication of small teams, which is relatively complicated.

After all, after the reform, a team must have at least twelve people, so a team like a helicopter is necessary.

In addition, there is the communication level. No matter what terrain or environment we encounter, we must be able to ensure that communication is unimpeded.

In other words, the mission of this institute is not easy at all.

The third institution is the production factory. Once the weapons are developed, they cannot be handed over to other departments for production. Otherwise, the credit will be taken away by others.

In short, in Zhao Mancang's view, the production factory is also very critical, and even the key to whether the 108 departments can make profits.

"We understand what you mean, but how can you guarantee that the weapons and equipment you develop will be successful? And that you can also secure large orders from the military?"

The leader's words were very straightforward and easy to understand. Zhao Mancang smiled slightly and said:
"Leader, this is actually very simple. We can definitely give it a try first. After all, if necessary, our 108th Department can bring back some advanced technology and equipment from abroad, and then try to research, develop, replicate, and then produce it."

"Take bulletproof vests as an example. I know of a research institute abroad that is developing ultra-strong bulletproof equipment. They use ultra-strong fiber materials to make it. This fiber material has excellent impact resistance and is characterized by low density, high hardness, high strength, and high elastic modulus."

hiss!
Hearing Zhao Mancang's words, one of the general-like leaders couldn't help but interrupt:

"Comrade Zhao, what is the effectiveness of the bulletproof vest you mentioned? Can it protect against bullets from a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle?"

If it can defend against such bullets, it means that the bulletproof vest mentioned by Zhao Mancang is very powerful, and the army may actually purchase it on a large scale.

Although there are no large-scale wars nowadays, there are actually still wars in many places. Peace is only relative.

"Leader, the bullet specification of the Type 7.62 semi-automatic rifle is 39*9mm. Such bulletproof vests must be developed at the highest level to achieve this. However, generally speaking, the first-level bulletproof vests can protect against mm caliber pistol bullets."

Zhao Mancang had a clear mind and reacted immediately. He confirmed the caliber and bullet of the Type 56 rifle and then gave a reply.

In the history of the original time and space, in the 1970s, DuPont Company on Sam's side launched an aramid fiber called Kevlar.

This fiber has more than twice the tensile strength of nylon fiber, is more bulletproof, and is lightweight and corrosion-resistant.

Even in later generations, bulletproof vests made of aramid fiber materials are still the ace among bulletproof vests.

There are roughly two principles of bulletproof vests. One is to deflect the projectile and broken fragments, and the other is to consume the kinetic energy of the bullet.

Bulletproof vests using the first bulletproof principle are mostly made of hard bulletproof materials such as metal, bulletproof ceramics, and metal-ceramic composites, while bulletproof vests using the second bulletproof principle are mostly made of soft materials such as bulletproof nylon and aramid fiber.

As everyone knows, the bullet will produce tensile deformation and shearing effects on the fibers, so the impact energy is diffused, spread and absorbed, and finally the bullet and bullet fragments are wrapped in the bulletproof fiber layer.

Generally speaking, hard bulletproof materials have strong ability to resist bullets, while soft bulletproof materials have strong ability to resist bullet fragments.

The most popular bulletproof vest materials in later generations are a combination of soft and hard materials. The hard material serves as the first line of defense to consume most of the energy of the bullet, while the soft material serves as the second line of defense to absorb and diffuse the remaining energy of the bullet and fragments, while also playing an effective buffering role.

If you want to protect against 7.62mm caliber rifle bullets, you must have a fourth type of bulletproof vest.

In addition, the higher the bulletproof level, the heavier and larger the bulletproof vest is, the more clumsy it becomes when worn, and the comfort level is greatly affected.

The two are like fish and bear's paw, you can't have both!
If we want to achieve this, we can probably only do so by developing higher-level bulletproof vests, such as nanomaterials and other high-strength, low-density materials.

After hearing Zhao Mancang's explanation, the leaders nodded in agreement, and then asked a number of detailed questions. One of the leaders even asked if it was possible to bring back the technology for this type of bulletproof vest?

"Leader, I can't guarantee that. I can only say we'll do our best. Once we carry out a mission like this, we must be prepared to make sacrifices, and we can't let the enemy discover where we're coming from."

Zhao Mancang said solemnly.

Carrying out such a mission is definitely not easy, and we must not bring shame to the University of Tokyo.

Therefore, such missions can only be carried out in secret, and all identification marks of one's identity must be removed.

Nearly twenty minutes passed before the "interview" was considered over, but the leaders still needed time to consider and had not yet given Zhao Mancang a definite answer.

After coming out of Lingjing Hutong, Zhao Mancang went to No. 8 Guozi Lane.

Since the leaders have not yet approved his plan, Zhao Mancang can only carry out his training step by step.

"How is it? Did the leader approve your plan?"

As soon as they arrived at No. 8 Guozi Lane, Wei Huayong cast a curious look at them. Zhao Mancang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know yet.

The former nodded immediately and said with emotion:

"Actually, it makes sense. If your plan was approved right away, I'd be shocked. But you're asking for 50 million RMB a year right away. Hiss!"

Zhao Mancang almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. Is 50 million RMB a lot of funding?

In the past two years, how much gold and US dollar cash has he brought back? For example, the 20 million ounces of gold he brought back last year were worth 760 million US dollars, which is about 1.7 to 1.8 billion RMB.

By comparison, you can see that the funding application submitted by Zhao Mancang is not expensive at all.

If 50 million RMB a year can bring in more than 1.7 billion or 1.8 billion RMB in revenue, wouldn't the leaders above be able to figure this out?
The leaders know who can bring them greater benefits.

Of course, the 108 departments have more than just this function.

In the past, the 108 departments were not loved by grandma and uncle, and no one wanted to pay attention to them. They were even on the verge of being abolished at one point.

Now Zhao Mancang is about to take over and proposes to lead it to a higher and larger dimension. Perhaps such a change will really make a big difference.

After a brief chat with Wei Huayong, Zhao Mancang entered the training state.

For the next period of time, Zhao Mancang trained in No. 8 Guozi Lane every day and went home for dinner at night.

In the early morning of that day, Zhao Mancang followed Tong Debin and others to the ghost market and earned some experience points.

Two days later, Zhao Mancang came to Tianjin Wharf again to buy goods.

With the development of Wanjia Supermarket, the number of stores has gradually increased, and the demand for the quantity and categories of goods has also increased.

After all, it is a supermarket. It cannot simply sell ordinary daily necessities. It needs to pay more attention to market demand and make timely adjustments.

Take clothes as an example. At that time, there were not many fat people in the North American market, because at that time, happy meals such as fried chicken, hamburgers and cola had not yet become popular in the North American market.

In addition, low-cost sugars such as corn syrup had not yet been widely promoted and used, and Richard Millhouse had not yet come to power, so the entire North America had not yet proposed using food as a diplomatic weapon.

In such an era, ordinary North Americans were relatively thin.

But even so, the demand for clothes among ordinary people is very great.

After all, they are all quite thin, so they are very picky about clothes, but they don’t have much money in their pockets, so they can only choose clothes that are good quality and cheap.

The clothes on the shelves of Wanjia Supermarket are very cheap, which gives them more choices.

The production cost of an ordinary pair of trousers in Beijing is at most 70 or 80 cents. Zhao Mancang's purchase price is 1.5 US dollars per pair of trousers, but when they are placed on the shelves of Wanjia Supermarket, the selling price is 4.99 US dollars.

Although the price of $4.99 is not cheap, the price in other clothing stores is at least $9.9, and more than ten dollars is the normal price for pants.

So many people voted with their feet and rushed to Wanjia Supermarket to buy pants.

The most important thing is that Wanjia Supermarket has a wide variety of clothing styles and colors. Even if you purchase ten sets of clothes at once, they are all different styles, not to mention the colors.

Even if you occasionally come across out-of-stock clothing on clearance, you can still get it for $1.99.

At the Tianjin Wharf, Zhao Mancang and Ma Jiugong completed the transaction, and then came to Lingguang County, put all the goods into the warehouse, and asked the person in charge to send these goods to Tokyo or Hong Kong and Kowloon, and then from Tokyo or Hong Kong and Kowloon to San Francisco.

Although not all goods are transported in this way, as long as Zhao Mancang does not have time, they are basically packed and sent in this way.

When returning from Lingguang County, Zhao Mancang discovered that snowflakes were falling from the sky.

It's so rare that it actually snowed.

Although it’s not a huge amount of snow, it’s still a pretty good amount of snowfall.

"Dad, can we have fried rice today?"

On Zhongguancun South Street, in the warm and spring-like living room of the Zhao family, Zhao Huijun pestered her father and spoke in a sweet voice.

It was already the end of January and the little girl had finished her final exams. Before the test results came out, she made her request.

As a little greedy cat, her favorite foods are fried rice made by her father and milk tea.

Her father has a menu, and every time he comes home, the meals at home are different every day.

"No, I don't have time to make such a complicated dish now," Zhao Mancang said seriously, rubbed the little guy's head, and continued:

"Besides, you just had fried rice a week ago. You can't have it again. Didn't we agree to eat it once every two weeks?"

"How about we have roast duck tonight?"

Zhao Huijun nodded happily when she heard this.

In fact, if she had a choice, she would still prefer fried rice and milk tea, but roast duck is not bad either.

Two years ago, Dahei and Xiaohei helped catch a swan. At that time, she had eaten stewed goose, roast goose, and roast duck.

So at this moment she hurriedly asked if they were catching the duck raised in the yard?

"No!" Zhao Mancang shook his head and denied it, because he didn't want to go through so much trouble.

It's freezing outside now, and your hands will definitely feel cold if they touch water.

Even washing dishes with hot water is quite troublesome. The most comfortable state in the cold winter is naturally to stay at home, warm yourself by the fire, and do nothing, just hibernate.

Training in No. 8 Guozi Lane every day is hard enough, so when Zhao Mancang gets home, he doesn’t feel like cooking.

Zhao Mancang went out for a walk and brought back three roast ducks. They were fragrant and had just come out of the oven, still emitting a lot of steam.

Lin Wan, Zhang Dongyue and others were already accustomed to such scenes.

Any food that Zhao Mancang brought back from outside must be steaming hot and cannot be cold.

They didn’t know that these were all delicacies that Zhao Mancang had just taken out from the system space. Anyway, since there were delicious foods, they just ate them with open mouths.

The next day, Zhao Mancang was notified to go to Lingjing Hutong, and he knew that his previous plan had come to fruition.

"Comrade Mancang, regarding the plan you submitted last time, we have discussed it and have agreed in principle, but we have some questions about the funding."

When Zhao Mancang heard what his leader said, he almost frowned.

Is funding still needed to be discussed?

Fifty million RMB per year is really not a lot. If this needs to be discussed, then there is really nothing to say.

"If you can ensure that within the next year you can develop the body armor you mentioned that can protect against 9mm pistol bullets, then we will agree to the funding you requested."

"Leader, we promise to complete the task!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang agreed first.

Anyway, the specific implementation is done by scientific research staff. As for technology, equipment, etc., Zhao Mancang believes that he will be able to bring them back soon.

The leader smiled and nodded, then introduced a middle-aged man next to him who looked like a cadre.

"This is Comrade Gu Haidong. From now on, you will report your work directly to him. If you encounter any difficulties or anything else, you can talk to Comrade Gu directly."

Gu Haidong had already extended his hand and took the initiative to greet Zhao Mancang.

Gu Haidong had nothing but admiration and respect for people like Zhao Mancang. It was unheard of that someone could be so selfless and be willing to contribute 20 million ounces of gold directly and completely.

Therefore, he dared not and would not be arrogant in front of Zhao Mancang, because all his superiors were very optimistic about Zhao Mancang.

Even these leaders above are more familiar with Zhao Mancang. If Zhao Mancang wants to sue him, he will definitely succeed.

"I've heard of your great name, Comrade Zhao, a long time ago. I will cooperate with you in the future and do my job as a logistics steward."

Zhao Mancang was surprised when he heard this. It seemed that the other party was very clear about his position.

Since the other party is so sensible, Zhao Mancang is happy to have some free time and sincerely hopes to coexist peacefully with the other party.

After leaving Lingjing Hutong, Gu Haidong also followed them to No. 8 Guozi Lane.

Wei Huayong happened to be there, so the three of them met together and held a small meeting.

The meeting was mainly led by Zhao Mancang because the plan he proposed gave a clearer picture of the future development of the 108 departments.

In the future, the 108 departments will be renamed the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization, which will have three subordinate institutions: the Jiaolong Army, the Longxing Research Institute and the Tenglong Factory.

Of course, the Jiaolong Army is not allowed to carry or disclose any identification or information about the organization while performing missions overseas.

"Since we're setting up this kind of organization, I'm afraid it won't be so convenient here in the future."

Gu Haidong suggested relocating the facility to a suburban location, but Zhao Mancang disagreed. "There are several institutions nearby. We could easily arrange for them to relocate. I think they have more people and it would be more crowded. We could discuss this with them."

"Secondly, our comprehensive organization has money, but we need to spend it wisely and not recklessly. Moving to the suburbs means we need to build large-scale projects, which is not a good thing for us."

"In the future, the Tenglong factory can be built in the suburbs, but right now, there's no need to rush. Our current focus is on expanding the Jiaolong Army and establishing the Longxing Research Institute."

"Director Gu, Lao Wei, you are both more familiar with the social customs of Beijing than I am. Director Gu, in particular, you know better where we can find better talents in Beijing. These are the talents we need, and they are of vital importance to our Longxing Research Institute."

After Zhao Mancang finished speaking, Gu Haidong and Wei Huayong finally realized that the former was really very confident.

"The Spring Festival is just under two weeks away, so I hope Director Gu can recruit more researchers for our Longxing Research Institute as soon as possible."

Zhao Mancang said solemnly, today is January 30th, and February 14th is New Year's Eve, so time is relatively tight.

The small meeting ended quickly, and the next step was to act separately. Zhao Mancang and Gu Haidong first went to find the relevant leaders to coordinate the relocation of several units near No. 8 Guozi Lane to other places.

Afterwards, Gu Haidong contacted the relevant scientific researchers, while Zhao Mancang prepared with Wei Huayong to expand the Jiaolong Army.

Regarding the expansion of the Jiaolong Army, Zhao Mancang only has one requirement: it is better to have fewer people than to have unqualified ones!

The name Jiaolong Army is very telling, because not every department can choose such a name. The reason why the leaders agreed to such a name is that they have high expectations for Zhao Mancang and others.

Therefore, in order not to disappoint the leaders and to enable Jiaolong, a comprehensive organization, to go further, Zhao Mancang will also do his job well.

"By the way, Mancang, Xiao Yuan and the others are still in Mindanao. Should we call them back?"

Wei Huayong seemed to suddenly remember Yuan Zuliang and others, and suggested that they come back to help expand the Jiaolong Army.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

"Let them stay here for now. If they can bring back some gold from Mindanao, that would be even better. Even if they can't, it doesn't matter. We don't lack it now anyway."

"After the Spring Festival, if they don't come back, I will reorganize the Jiaolong Army first. You have to help me then, Old Wei, because after the Spring Festival, I may need to go out alone to get the bulletproof vest technology back first."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Huayong's face changed: "You are a leader, why do you still go to the front line to carry out the mission in person? It's too dangerous. What if..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Zhao Mancang raised his hand to interrupt:
"Old Wei, I'm not bragging in front of you. If I were fifty years old, I might not go out on missions, but I'm only twenty-seven. I'm still very young."

"Besides, Lao Wei, you don't think anyone else can take back the bulletproof vest technology? Haha, I'm not called a surgeon for nothing."

Wei Huayong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.

It is true that Zhao Mancang is a young man. He is radical but also very calm. The 108 departments will definitely develop better in his hands.

For the next period of time, Zhao Mancang didn't train much and was busy running around.

Early that morning, Zhao Mancang drove to a military base outside the capital. When the car arrived at the destination, many people were already waiting at the door.

Yang Chunjiang, Fan Xuexin, Lu Yaowei and others are all people who participated in the selection code-named 108 today. They are actually quite unconvinced because they were originally the best soldiers in their respective units and have strong abilities in various aspects. Then an order came from above, asking them to come to Beijing to participate in the selection.

My goodness, they are already the best soldiers, do they still need to participate in the selection?

Is it a military competition?

If it is a military competition, then it is really hard to say, because in the military competition there will be many guys who are particularly good in individual events and are difficult to deal with.

The reason why the King of Soldiers is the King of Soldiers is that they are very outstanding in physical endurance, shooting skills, quick mobility and reaction ability, and they also have one or several very powerful skills.

There must be people with superb eyesight, comparable to a telescope, and some with first-class hearing, who can identify the enemy's position through sound and have an absolute advantage in short-range confrontations such as street fighting.

What's more, the abilities of some sharpshooters have reached an incredible level, and the bullets they shoot can even turn.

If this type of soldier encounters a good opportunity, it will be no problem for them to get the special medal of merit.

In the military, the personal special merit medal is the ceiling-level existence. It is already amazing to be able to get one. Many people receive such a medal after their death. Those who can get it while they are still alive are all legendary figures.

Especially now there are basically not many wars, and even if there are, they are just small-scale military exercises.

"Leader, we can start now."

After Zhao Mancang exchanged a few pleasantries with the leader of the suburban military base, he indicated that the selection process could begin.

Seeing that Zhao Mancang was also going to participate in the selection in person, several leaders raised their eyebrows in surprise, and Yang Chunjiang and others who were standing upright were also surprised.

Because they just saw that Zhao Mancang drove here and was warmly welcomed by the leaders.

This enthusiasm comes from the heart, not from the polite or hypocritical kind.

So Yang Chunjiang and the others knew that Zhao Mancang's status was definitely not low, but they did not expect that the latter would actually participate in the selection with them.

Although they were surprised, they didn't know what was going on. In short, they had to give it their all and not let the soldiers from the capital look down on them.

Yang Chunjiang and his men had completely forgotten about the selection mission code-named 108, and now they only wanted to avoid bringing shame to the reputation of their own unit.

The first item is a 10-kilometer cross-country run with a 50-kilogram load, which tests each person's physical endurance.

Bang!
With the sound of a gunshot, the assessment officially began.

Zhao Mancang carried 30 kilograms of equipment and ran out quickly, which set a bad example and disrupted the rhythm of Fan Xuexin, Lu Yaowei, Yang Chunjiang and others.

"Haha, what about Lao Zheng? See? This is the number one man in our Jiaolong Army. He's pretty strong, right?"

Wei Huayong, who was sitting in the jeep and following the soldiers participating in the selection, burst into laughter when he saw Zhao Mancang leading the way.

Zheng Junhui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly:
"We all know Director Zhao is a tough guy, but we didn't expect him to be this strong. But this is a ten-kilometer run. Can he really finish it at this speed?"

"Won't you know if you keep reading?"

Seeing that Wei Huayong was very confident in Zhao Mancang, Zheng Junhui couldn't help but look forward to it.

He had just met the legendary Zhao Mancang today. Everyone said that he was very capable and had unmatched character, but when they met just now, he felt that he was a little unworthy of his reputation.

There's no way around it. Zhao Mancang himself is just a little handsome, and his height of just over 1.8 meters is barely a plus, but compared to his own fame, it's very ordinary.

Because of this, Zheng Junhui was a little disappointed.

But now it seems that Zhao Mancang wants to show his true ability, so Zheng Junhui has to take a good look.

After one kilometer, Zhao Mancang took only three minutes and twenty-eight seconds, which is a very good result.

If Zhao Mancang could run ten kilometers at this speed, or even in less than five minutes per kilometer, it would be incredible.

After all, they still need to carry equipment weighing 30 kilograms, but they still move forward at a speed of more than three minutes per kilometer. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

The rhythm of Fan Xuexin, Yang Chunjiang, Lu Yaowei and others was completely disrupted because Zhao Mancang was too ruthless.

"Damn it! I just can't believe it! He can actually finish the race at that pace? He'll definitely be completely exhausted by the end, right? How are you going to compete in the next event?"

A few people were envious and jealous. Although they were not convinced, they were a little impressed.

In the army, there are many people who like to show off, but not many of them can really do it.

Now it seems that this is possible for Zhao Mancang.

Yang Chunjiang and his companions, who were more than a hundred meters behind, gritted their teeth and persevered, but after two kilometers, they could no longer see Zhao Mancang.

Five kilometers away, more than ten minutes had passed, and Zheng Junhui and the others were becoming more and more surprised, because Zhao Mancang's speed was very consistent, with each kilometer controlled at around 3 minutes and 28 to 30 seconds, with an error of no more than five seconds, which was simply terrifying.

There is a saying that it is not scary for a top student to get high scores, but what is scary is that the top student can control the scores, which is very discouraging.

At the end of the ten-kilometer run, Zhao Mancang completed his assessment, which took a total of thirty-five minutes, neither more nor less, just right.

Zheng Junhui and the others got out of the car and gave him a thumbs up.

If Zhao Mancang went to the special forces, he would be the strongest one.

But now Zhao Mancang is leading the Jiaolong Army himself and personally selecting soldiers, so it is impossible for him to join the special forces.

After Zhao Mancang rested for ten minutes, Yang Chunjiang and others finally arrived.

In fact, it was already very impressive that they could reach the finish line within fifty minutes, but there was no harm without comparison. Zhao Mancang's performance left these soldiers completely speechless.

The track where they took the test had relatively complex terrain, with ups and downs, which would definitely have a significant impact on the participants.

"Okay, take a half-hour break and we'll start the next test."

Zhao Mancang did not waste any time and immediately announced the next project.

He had ten more minutes of rest time than Yang Chunjiang and the others, and was already in the lead.

But Fan Xuexin and his team are not willing to give up, and even believe that they may perform better than Zhao Mancang in the next project.

why?
Because they think the next project is their advantage.

However, it was not until the following assessment that they realized what despair was.

The first day's assessment was only conducted in the morning. There were three major items in total: load-bearing cross-country, shooting and reconnaissance. We took a break in the afternoon and did not continue the assessment.

It was three o'clock in the morning of the next day, and today we had to carry out three projects: night combat drills, diving and blasting.

Such a long interval actually gave Fan Xuexin and others enough time to rest.

The night combat drill was very sudden and there was no advance notice, but they all performed very well.

Unfortunately, he was still suppressed by Zhao Mancang.

However, the entire assessment project was formulated by Zhao Mancang, so he definitely knew exactly what to assess, which is a bit unfair.

However, when it comes to diving, Lu Yaowei and his friends know what despair is.

Zhao Mancang soaked at the bottom of the lake for an hour and kept swimming as easily as a fish, which stunned Yang Chunjiang and the others.

With just this one item, Zhao Mancang has received feedback from the system. There are twelve people who have exploded with 99 experience points, and among the remaining thirty people, they are all around 59, which is neither good nor bad.

But this is just the beginning. Zhao Mancang will be able to make a judgment only after seeing the situation in the next few days.

Fortunately, there are many assessment items, which last for five days, which is enough for Zhao Mancang to clearly confirm who are the best tool people.

Five days later, after the first round of assessments was completed, Zhao Mancang directly asked for ten people, and another ten people were kept as reserve team members.

Reserve team members need to participate in the second batch of assessments after the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and there is not enough time to conduct the second batch of assessments.

Although the Spring Festival is approaching, Zhao Mancang still cannot relax because people have arrived from the Longxing Research Institute.

However, there were not many researchers who came, only five, and judging from their appearance, they seemed not very happy.

There's no way. He was doing well in other units, but was transferred here. Of course he's not happy about it.

The most important thing is that the Longxing Research Institute has nothing at the moment. It really has nothing. This is not a good thing for researchers.

Zhao Mancang was also helpless. There were quite a few good things in the system space, but there was no way to take them out now.

I briefly talked with the five researchers at the institute, promised that things would get better after the Spring Festival, and painted a rosy picture for them.

Only then did the researchers realize that the young man in front of them was actually the legendary and famous Zhao Mancang.

They had all heard of Zhao Mancang's name. Because the atomic bomb research of the University of Tokyo required a huge amount of funds, Zhao Mancang brought back a lot of funds from abroad.

The researchers didn't know the specific details, but they knew that one department brought back a lot of funds.

Just this is enough.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about insufficient funds when coming to Longxing Institute. This is great news for researchers.

After finishing these two things, Zhao Mancang prepared for the Spring Festival.

At this time in the capital, the New Year atmosphere is already very strong.

On the 29th day of the lunar year, Zhao Mancang drove and took Lin Wan and others to Xidan to go shopping and buy New Year's goods.

This year should be the happiest Spring Festival. The whole family is reunited and celebrating the festival happily.

Even the half-year-old little Shitou was excited, not to mention the two sisters, Little Peach and Little Baozi. They could walk around by themselves. Although they were not very good at walking yet, they loved to move around.

If she isn't careful, she might end up at someone else's stall to join in the fun.

I went shopping for half a day on the 29th day of the lunar year and went home in the afternoon to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The 29th day of the lunar year is actually New Year's Eve, because there is no New Year's Eve this year.

Lin Guohua and his friends also came to Zhongguancun South Street to have the reunion dinner together. Even Lin Kai and his wife Han Meimei came here to join in the fun.

Because Zhao Mancang has many children in his family, it is impossible for Zhang Dongyue to go back to Nanluoguxiang, so she called Lin Guohua and others to come and celebrate the New Year together.

Therefore, tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner is particularly sumptuous.

Hu Xiaocao and her four siblings did not come. They celebrated the New Year with Mei Chunyan and her sister.

"Dad, today is a holiday, can I have fried rice and milk tea?"

In the afternoon, when Zhao Mancang was holding Xiao Shitou and basking in the sun, Zhao Huijun ran over and asked greedily.

When Lin Wan heard this, she immediately spoke first:
"Can you please stop craving fried rice and milk tea? If you drink anything sweet again, your teeth will be ruined. Just look at your teeth."

It's purely an exaggeration, just something to scare children.

Although Zhao Huijun often eats sweet things, she protects her teeth very well and does not have cavities. Besides, she has started to replace her teeth at her age, so there is no need to worry too much about this.

Of course, it’s not a good thing that the little guy prefers fried rice and milk tea so much.

She is still young now, so Zhao Mancang and others can still control her a little. But when she grows up a little, there will be nothing they can do.

However, there is a saying that goes, "People can't teach others, but things can teach people."

When she has a toothache in the future, she will naturally understand.

"It's almost time for dinner, and there are so many delicious dishes tonight. Why are you still eating fried rice? How long ago was it? Wait until after the Spring Festival to eat it. Be good, and don't force me to beat you up when you're happiest."

He used the gentlest tone and said the harshest words, which scared Zhao Huijun directly.

Hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Lin Wan also burst out laughing.

Speaking of which, Zhao Mancang has never beaten Zhao Huijun. Every time he did it, he just scared the child but never put it into practice.

After all, that child is not his biological child. If he wants to beat the little guy, it is better to let Lin Wan do it.

What's more, most of the time, Zhao Mancang plays the bad guy and Lin Wan plays the bad guy, so it goes without saying who will beat her in this matter.
