Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 263: The Problem of Procurement of Supplies
"One, two, twenty, reporting in. The third squadron of the Jiaolong Army should have twenty men, and we've actually got twenty men. Report completed. Please give your instructions."

"Everyone board the plane immediately. Listen to my command, turn left, and start running!"

Zhao Mancang blew the whistle and everyone started running.

After getting on the plane, they all started talking as the plane sped down the runway.

It was only then that they realized that Lao Zhao was the captain of this plane. Wow, his treatment was at its peak.

You have to know that this is their leader. It was very difficult to work with him before, let alone let him be the captain and fly the plane for them.

Although everyone was surprised, no one moved much because Zhao Mancang told them not to move around.

The discipline of the Jiaolong Army is stricter, and if something is said not to be done, it must not be done.

Soon, the plane reached the stratosphere at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Zhao Mancang turned on the automatic flight mode and walked out of the cockpit.

The automatic flight system is not built into the Mario M6147 passenger aircraft, because it is a high-end system, and with the current level of technological development, it is simply impossible to have such a system.

This was obtained by Zhao Mancang by spending a lot of experience points from the system mall.

It’s just that this thing is too advanced, there is only this set, and it cannot be produced with the current level of technology.

"Today we're heading to the Taklamakan Desert. You don't need to know the exact location, as it's a top-level secret..."

When Tie Wanzhong and others saw Zhao Mancang appear in front of everyone, they were shocked, but before they could react, everyone was attracted by his words.

Good guy!
Although they were not interested in Shaya Laboratory, they were really curious after hearing what Zhao Mancang said.

As members of the Jiaolong Army, Fan Xuexin, Tie Wanzhong and others have heard of the Shaya Laboratory and know that Zhao Mancang has devoted a lot of energy and invested a lot of money in it.

This place is strictly confidential. At present, only Zhao Mancang himself knows the exact location of this place. Others who have gone to the area can only settle down there. They really don’t know when they can leave.

Now they have the opportunity to take a look at the true appearance of this place, and to be honest, it really arouses their curiosity.

As for the mission this time, to capture the spies who went to the area, Tie Wanzhong and his team did not take it very seriously.

That's a desert area. Hiking to such a place is tantamount to seeking death.

Of course, spies are not afraid of death, but the natural environment of the desert is very harsh, especially now in mid-to-late September. This place has entered the peak of season change. The weather in autumn is not necessarily cool, and there may be murderous intentions everywhere.

These professional spies are already very impressive for being able to break through numerous obstacles and find the vicinity of Shaya Laboratory, but there shouldn't be many of them at this time.

As they waited for the opportunity to strike, the fate of these spies was almost doomed.

"After the plane lands, you will..."

As Zhao Mancang continued speaking, Tie Wanzhong and the others were suddenly startled: What the hell? The plane hasn't landed yet? Who's flying the plane?
Tie Wanzhong gritted his teeth and raised his hand, interrupting Zhao Mancang who was assigning tasks.

"speak!"

"Report, if we are still at high altitude, who is flying the plane now? Aren't we in danger?"

"Good question, but this is a confidential question, level one confidential. You don't need to know these details!"

Uh!
Fan Xuexin and the others were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the issue of confidentiality would be involved again. It seemed that there were many secrets on this plane.

Even their Jiaolong Army requested that the secret be kept confidential, so you can imagine how secret it is.

Zhao Mancang was just too lazy to explain and didn't want to find any more excuses to fool them, so the word "confidentiality" was enough.

He then arranged the mission details in more detail and returned to the cockpit only after everything was done.

There was no flight attendant on this plane, so Tie Wanzhong and his companions on the flight naturally could not enjoy other services such as meals.

Of course they don't care about these. To them, the mission is more important.

About an hour later, the plane landed safely at the airport in Shaya area.

Qi Zizhou, Pan Enzhi and others were already waiting. After seeing Tie Wanzhong and the other twenty people get off the plane, they all became nervous and curious.

Driven by their strong military intuition, Qi Zizhou and his men discovered that Tie Wanzhong, Fan Xuexin and the other twenty people were dangerous people, and their temperament was too obvious.

The main reason was that Tie Wanzhong and his team did not disguise themselves at all. They gathered in their daily training clothes and then boarded the plane.

Otherwise, Qi Zizhou and others would not have such a strong intuition.

After the gathering, Zhao Mancang first arranged for Qi Zizhou and others to bring Guo Tao over for questioning.

After Qi Zizhou and his men left, Zhao Mancang asked Pan Enzhi to take Fan Xuexin and others to get guns, ammunition and supplies.

"Act according to the plan. Report any findings immediately."

Tie Wanzhong and his twenty companions immediately divided into teams of five and advanced in four directions.

After watching them leave, Zhao Mancang did not stay here, but flew away.

He first returned to the Yumen Pass camp to inform Zhang Wenhong that the plan had changed and that preparations needed to be made early.

"Okay, Leader Zhao, no problem. I'll definitely gather right away. Half an hour will be enough."

Zhao Mancang nodded and stayed there waiting.

He had previously applied to his superiors for the expansion of the Shaya Laboratory, so he contacted the Yumenguan Camp in advance and asked them to prepare the candidates and he would come to pick them up.

The Shaya Laboratory would definitely not be able to function with only Qi Zizhou and his team of 32 people.

Just like this crisis, Zhao Mancang rushed over in a hurry because he was afraid that the spies would really cross the desert and find the location of the Shaya Laboratory.

If he had just increased his strength a little, Zhao Mancang wouldn't have to be so worried.

In terms of individual combat capability, even if Qi Zizhou and his men expanded to two or three hundred people, they would definitely be wiped out by Tie Wanzhong's team.

Those spies are definitely the elite among the elites. Although they may not be as strong as Tie Wanzhong and others, they are definitely not much worse. In short, it is definitely right to enhance the security protection level of Shaya Laboratory.

The soldiers at the Yumen Pass camp are more familiar with the climate environment in this area, so they can be selected directly from the camp.

After spending half an hour, Zhang Wenhong gathered a team of 80 people. Zhao Mancang said a few words and then let them board the plane.

After transporting these eighty people to the Shaya Laboratory, Zhao Mancang handed them over to Qi Zizhou and instructed:

"I'll give you eighty more people to guard this place. If any information is leaked or any other unexpected situation occurs here, I will only look for you."

"Did Guo Tao go to the interrogation room? Give him a thorough interrogation. The result is not important. The key is to persuade him to come back."

"I don't need Guo Taoshun to be a spy. I just want his technical skills. Do you understand?"

Qi Zizhou nodded seriously, indicating that he understood clearly.

Zhao Mancang did not require the other party to sign a military order. If they can go up, they can go up. If not, they can withdraw. It is that simple.

After making the arrangements, Zhao Mancang personally checked the walkie-talkie signal repeater to ensure its normal operation. At the same time, he contacted Tie Wanzhong and others to confirm their current location and specific situation.

In fact, seriously speaking, Zhao Mancang is taking off and landing so frequently now, to a certain extent, to provide directions to the enemy, but this is a desert, so he is not really afraid.

"Old Zhao, we've already walked twelve kilometers in this direction, and we haven't seen a single soul..."

"Okay, then you all need to be vigilant. Not only should you be wary of possible spies, but you also need to be wary of potential dangers from nature..."

Through the intercom, Zhao Mancang could easily know the current situation of Tie Wanzhong and others.

It can be said that before the advent of satellite communication phones, walkie-talkie repeaters were the trump card of the Jiaolong Army.

There is a signal jammer in Shaya Laboratory, but there is no way to do it now. We must turn off the jammer.

However, at this time, Zhao Mancang was not worried that someone would use the telegraph to pass on the information because there were no such conditions.

Qi Zizhou and his colleagues will strictly control electricity usage and conduct strict inspections on all electrical equipment. As long as any abnormal electricity usage occurs, they will immediately find the source to ensure that someone is not stealing electricity.

Xu Qingdong and his colleagues' experiments are conducted under everyone's eyes, so they must not mess around.

"This is a walkie-talkie. It can contact Tie Wanzhong and the others at any time. If they encounter difficulties and need helicopter support, they must provide support immediately. At the same time, they must send a telegram to notify me immediately..."

After waiting for half a day, Zhao Mancang flew away again. This time he returned to the capital, rested for two days, and then returned to the Northwest.

The task of catching spies in the Northwest is very important, but the things in the capital are also very important.

Zhao Mancang couldn't stay there for a long time. After all, he was a leader and had a lot of things to do. Providing good logistical support was what he should focus on most.

During his two trips to Shaya area, Zhao Mancang did not mention the letter of self-criticism to Qi Zizhou and others. It was not because he forgot, but because catching the spies was more important.

The significance of the letter of apology does not lie in whether Qi Zizhou and others wrote it, but in whether they learned the lesson, remembered the experience, and ensured that they would not repeat the same mistakes.

Zhongguancun South Street, Zhaojia.

When Zhao Mancang came back, several children who were playing at the door suddenly stood up in surprise.

His car is still very conspicuous. Zhao Mancang is the only family in the nearby street that owns a car. The other family that owns a car is the foreign-related unit next door.

"Dad, you're back. That's great. Mom will definitely be so happy. I'll go tell her..."

The little greedy cat shouted excitedly and ran back to the yard.

Yu Yuanxu, Yu Shulan and Yu Shumeng, three siblings, stood up and respectfully and happily called out "Hello, Uncle Zhao".

The two families are neighbors and have always had a very good relationship, so they called Uncle Zhao sincerely.

On the other hand, Yu Yuanxu and his two siblings often ate at Zhao Mancang's house. Although Zhao Huijun and other little kids were occasionally called to their house by Yu Ziliang and Jiang Chuanmei for dinner, most of the time, the delicacies served at Zhao Mancang's house were not something that Yu Ziliang and his wife could get.

Take seafood, for example. How could Yu Ziliang and his team possibly get fresh lobsters and other seafood? And some tropical fruits from Hong Kong Island—these aren't things that ordinary people can get.

However, the relationship between the two families does not necessarily require comparison. It is just that, relatively speaking, the three Yu Yuanxu siblings are more looking forward to the new and interesting things that Zhao Mancang brings back every time.

For example, Yu Yuanxu and others liked the panoramic painting within a painting that Zhao Mancang had shown before, and they wanted to learn it very much. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to learn.

Simple tools such as paper and paintbrushes are daunting for most people. If their financial resources do not allow it, interest in it will naturally be just a luxury.

"What game are you playing?"

Zhao Mancang chatted with the kids for a while, and then Lin Wan came out. "You're back so soon? I thought you were going on a business trip for ten days or half a month..."

"You guessed wrong. I'm coming back to rest for two days, but I have to go out again in two days, or even leave at any time."

The couple chatted for a while at the door, and then the children started to make a fuss about going home.

The biscuits we bought yesterday haven’t been finished yet, and the little kids want to eat them now.

All he does all day is stare at those snacks, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

These are Lin Wan’s words, but Zhao Mancang doesn’t care about them.

"If they like to eat, then eat. I've been keeping an eye on them. Do you think they listen?"

Zhao Mancang was also helpless. The little kids were not in their rebellious period, but they were really greedy. In addition, the family could indeed provide these delicious foods, so it was difficult to stop them.

As the saying goes, people can never learn by teaching, but they can learn by teaching once.

In Zhao Mancang's opinion, since it is difficult to control them, just control the general direction. After their toothache and stomachache are gone, they will definitely feel much better.

Zhao Mancang has now lowered his requirements for children like Zhao Huijun. As long as there are no major health problems, he doesn't bother to care.

Zhao Mancang could easily solve minor illnesses such as colds, fevers and inflammation.

Anyway, he doesn't often come home for a long time. Whenever he comes home, he will definitely check on the children's physical health. As long as there are no major problems, everything will be fine.

It is not good to control too much, and you may not be able to control it.

Now Zhao Mancang is focusing on their studies. Even if he doesn’t want them to surpass their peers, at least they won’t be left behind.

Just like Zhao Huijun now, Zhao Mancang is very happy that she can skip levels.

Lin Wan was speechless, then rolled her eyes at Zhao Mancang:

"You should keep an eye on them, especially Little Stone. He's already three years old this year, and he often doesn't concentrate on completing his homework like literacy, arithmetic, and memorization. He's always acting like a spoiled brat..."

Zhao Jinshi, who was born in June 1960, is indeed over three years old this year.

A child of this age would have been in the kindergarten class in later times.

But he is a boy after all, and both Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan have higher expectations of him.

As for playing, I will definitely let him have fun, but he must not fall behind in his studies.

He is still young, so he usually starts with learning to read, recite poems, and do arithmetic, etc., and there is no need to worry too much about foreign languages.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely take care of it, but shouldn't you also take care of me now?"

When Lin Wan heard what Zhao Mancang said, she immediately understood. She rolled her eyes at him, snorted coquettishly, and turned around to ignore him.

For the next two days, Zhao Mancang stayed at home and made phone calls non-stop.

Shaya Laboratory needs to add more staff, and these staff are junior high and high school graduates recruited in July.

A total of more than 3,500 people have been recruited from all over the country, and they are currently receiving training at Jiaolong School, which is some relatively simple knowledge training.

Once this group of people enter the Shaya Laboratory, they will really have no choice but to stay there.

In the short term, they can only work in the Shaya area. Anyway, they are not allowed to leave within five years. Whether they will get married and have children here, or what, will be discussed later.

The Shaya area in the northwest needs to be gradually utilized. At this stage, even in the short term, Zhao Mancang is definitely unable to recruit college students, so he has no choice but to use these junior and senior high school graduates to fill the void.

High school students can do odd jobs if they can. If they can learn skills, they can take on more work. If not, they can just keep doing odd jobs.

Junior high school students will be trained as reserve researchers. The capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted. Those who cannot be trained will do odd jobs. In any case, they will not be wasted.

In addition to this matter, a health center also needed to be established, so Zhao Mancang directly recruited a couple of doctors and four nurses from the military hospital.

Other supporting personnel must also be available, such as cooks, instructors, etc.

There are only a few hundred people in Shaya Laboratory now. Once these more than 3,500 junior and senior high school graduates enter Shaya Laboratory, the management difficulty will increase. There are also issues such as food and logistical support that need to be strengthened.

In Guozi Lane, Wei Huayong held the phone and tried his best to persuade Zhao Mancang to let others handle the logistical support work.

But Zhao Mancang still refused. The security situation in Shaya area was very serious and he didn't want to make it more complicated.

There is no doubt that Tie Wanzhong and others from the Jiaolong Army can be trusted, so after the incident two days ago, Zhao Mancang sent people over immediately.

But even so, they didn't know the exact location of the Shaya area. Especially with the sudden increase in personnel, Zhao Mancang should ensure the secrecy of the Shaya area.

After this wave of spies is cleared out, Zhao Mancang will restart the desert planting plan.

"Why are you so stubborn?"

Wei Huayong was helpless, so Zhao Mancang said directly, "Old Wei, if you have nothing else to say, I'll hang up now. My ears are getting calluses from calling you every day."

Talking on the phone for a long time is very harmful to the ears. After all, the load is too heavy. Some people, especially customer service staff in later generations, suffer from tinnitus, deafness and other accidents more often than ordinary people.

It’s similar for some people who particularly like to listen to music with headphones, especially if they listen to music with headphones for a long time, which will cause greater damage to the ears.

The telephone Zhao Mancang is holding in his hand now has a very poor quality sound receiver and the sound quality is very bad, which causes exponentially more damage to his ears.

"Don't hang up yet, let me tell you about the material procurement plan..."

"Okay, I'll go to Guozi Lane to find you now. Let's talk about everything all at once."

Seeing that Lao Wei still had something to say, Zhao Mancang was very helpless. He quickly stopped the other party from saying the next word and hung up the phone in seconds.

"I'm going to be out for a while. You guys stay home and behave yourself. Memorize what you need to memorize. Do you understand?"

Little Baozi, Little Taozi, Little Shitou and other little kids' eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded repeatedly. They wished their father would leave immediately.

When they just came back two days ago, they wanted to pester their father all the time. Now, after two days, they are being controlled every day. It would be strange if they could be happy.

So, as soon as their father left, the little kids immediately relaxed and started cheering.

Even if their grandmother Zhang Dongyue shouted at them, they didn't take it seriously. Who told them not to be afraid of their grandmother?

"You'll be in trouble when your father comes back!"

At this moment, Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi, who ran to the arcade and were about to go out to play with their neighbors, suddenly screamed because their father was right in front of them.

"Okay, so that's how you guys obey, right?"

Zhao Mancang, who had made a surprise attack, saw the three little ones letting themselves go, and immediately said "very angry".

To be honest, just this one time was enough for the children to remember it for a long time.

The little kids run very fast, but not as fast as their father.
One in each hand, in a blink of an eye, the three little brats were all held under Zhao Mancang's armpits or carried on his shoulders.

The only one who didn't run away was the little fat boy, because he was less than two years old and couldn't run fast. Not only did he not run away, but he opened his arms and threw the net towards his father.

After scolding the three older children including Xiao Baozi, Zhao Mancang coaxed the little fat boy and then left again.

This is much better now. They dare not mess around again.

At the Guozi Lane office, after Zhao Mancang arrived, Wei Huayong explained the current material procurement issues in detail.

According to the procurement plan sent by Zhao Mancang, it is necessary to purchase thousands of tons of various grains and vegetables at one time, especially fruits. The requirements in this regard are a bit high.

Because it is the end of September, the grain is about to be harvested, but the vegetables have not yet entered the harvest stage.

The winter-stored Chinese cabbages in Beijing are available in early November. It is indeed difficult to purchase thousands of tons of vegetables at this time.

"Okay, even if it's a little difficult, we can still guarantee the supply of potatoes and sweet potatoes, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang was silent for a while before he reluctantly came up with a solution.

"Well, that's no problem."

Wei Huayong nodded, this was naturally not a big problem.

As Zhao Mancang's movements became more and more vigorous, the old man Wei Huayong was not left behind. Instead, he became more powerful and more energetic.

There is even an illusion of rejuvenation.

Jiaolong School enrolled an additional 5,000 students this summer. Combined with the more than 3,500 junior and senior high school graduates who were temporarily added by Zhao Mancang, the number of students at Jiaolong School suddenly exceeded 10,000.

But this is not so bad. After all, the supply of materials in the capital is relatively abundant, and it doesn’t attract so many people at once.

However, it is different in the Shaya area. The grain is still okay, but thousands of tons of vegetables have to be taken away at once, so the pressure is of course huge.

After all, vegetables need to be kept fresh, and their planting needs to be planned in advance.

"Mancang, the task of purchasing and transporting supplies should be handed over to a specialized unit..."

After discussing the issue of vegetable procurement, Wei Huayong suddenly brought up the matter they had just discussed on the phone. Zhao Mancang immediately shook his head when he heard it.

"Old Wei, this matter ends here. Stop nagging me."

After saying that, Zhao Mancang stood up and prepared to leave. Although Lao Wei was getting younger and younger, he was becoming more and more talkative.

The next day, Zhao Mancang said goodbye to his family, flew out of the capital and headed straight south.

After entering Hong Kong Island from Baiyun City, Zhao Mancang immediately notified the Nolinasun Ocean Shipping Company to hurry and transport a batch of beef, mutton, etc. from Australia to Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, he also purchased a large amount of spices in Hong Kong Island, such as thirteen spices, five-spice powder, soy sauce, salt and other seasonings, which are essential ingredients for making hard dishes.

Another option is to find vegetable suppliers in Hong Kong Island and purchase large quantities of pumpkins, winter melons and other vegetables that can be stored for a relatively long period of time.

There will soon be more than 4,000 people in Shaya area, and at least 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms of vegetables will be consumed every day. However, Zhao Mancang cannot provide so many vegetables, so he will try his best to find a solution.

Before this year and the first half of next year, the Shaya area will not be able to produce and sell so many fresh vegetables to solve the vegetable supply problem for more than 4,000 people.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang had no choice but to come to Hong Kong Island to solve this problem.

In fact, Baiyun City could solve the emergency problem by speeding up the process, but Zhao Mancang’s idea is that supplying more beef and mutton can also solve these problems.

The problem of food may be a big problem for the mainland now, but for other places, it can be solved with money.

After making the arrangements, Zhao Mancang stayed in the Repulse Bay Villa for a day and went with Liu Baochan to see the current decoration of the mountaintop villa.

The mountaintop villa is better, but it takes time to decorate.

Zhao Mancang did not go to the Deep Water Bay villa. He left it there for the time being. Anyway, there were nannies and security guards taking care of it, so he didn't worry too much.

After spending a day in Hong Kong Island, Zhao Mancang returned to Beijing. The next day after arriving in Beijing, he began to transport more than 3,500 junior and senior high school graduates.

If we take off directly from the base airport in the suburbs of Beijing, we can transport more than 100 people each time, and more than 3,500 people in total, which means at least more than 30 times of transportation.

So Zhao Mancang chose another way, which was to let the more than 3,500 people arrive at the Yumen Pass camp and then transport them.

After all, the Yumenguan camp is only about a thousand kilometers away from the Shaya area, which is much closer than the capital.

"Is this the Shaya area? Is this our working environment?"

Li Zhihu, who came from the Sichuan region, looked around at everything in front of him after getting off the plane.

The environment in the Shaya area cannot be compared with that in the mainland. It is too dry here, but compared with the areas around the Taklamakan Desert, the environment in the Shaya Laboratory is much better.

There are lakes, several forests, and many buildings. Although the environment here is not very good at first glance, in fact, Qi Zizhou and others who have experienced it here said it is great.

Nonsense, there is meat for every meal, occasional rich fruits, and grapes grown by ourselves, etc., of course it is delicious.

Take Pan Enzhi as an example. When he was in the Yumenguan camp, it was already very good for him to eat meat once a week.

But in the Shaya Laboratory, there is meat in every meal, and the key is that the quantity is quite large. Since entering here, they have all gained a lot of weight.

He used to look skinny, but now he looks a little meatier and not so thin anymore.

"Everyone gather and start counting."

While Li Zhihu was still looking around, the leader had already started to gather the team, and Qi Zizhou had also sent people over to prepare to receive the 174 junior and senior high school graduates.

The Mario M6147 passenger plane can seat people, and Zhao Mancang can only transport this many people at a time.

There are a total of 3,537 people, this is the total number after the assessment of Jiaolong School.

Based on this quantity, Zhao Mancang would need to travel back and forth between the Yumenguan camp and the Shaya laboratory area twenty-one times to complete this transportation trip.

In addition, there are cooks, instructors, medics and other logistics-related personnel. The total number of people that Zhao Mancang needs to transport this time exceeds 3,600.

With such a large number of people, the transportation can be completed in about twenty-two times. Although it is not easy, it is not difficult either.

Each round trip takes at least five hours, mainly because the time required to board the plane after landing is relatively troublesome. Therefore, twenty-two round trips basically take one hundred and ten hours, which is five or six days.

For Zhao Mancang, these are not big problems, as long as the problems can be solved in the end.

Li Zhihu and others followed the main force into a dormitory, which was a four-person dormitory. It was not crowded, but not spacious either.

However, it is already a very good environment for Li Zhihu and others.

"The beds here are really nice, surprisingly soft. It's only the end of September and they already have quilts. I heard it's very cold here at night, but I'm not sure if that's true."

"This must be true, is there any need to ask?"

Compared to Li Zhihu's restraint and nervousness, Fang Jie from Tianjin was much more confident and generous: "Hey, where are you from? What's your name? What was your score on the previous test?"

The new people who joined here were reassigned based on their assessment results at Jiaolong School.

Recruitment and selection began in mid-to-late July, and they gathered at Jiaolong School for simple training in August. By mid-to-late September, they began the assessment.

The training time is only about one month and twenty days, but in such a short time, the students have been differentiated.

Li Zhihu, Fang Jie, Chen Pingan, Wang Chengwu and the other four were assigned to the same dormitory and will live together here from now on.

The four of them chatted for a few minutes in the dormitory, and then were notified by the broadcast to gather in the office.

The entire Shaya laboratory area is very large. Previously, Deng Jihe, Wan Liming and their engineering corps of more than 500 people were carrying out construction tasks here. Although the construction time was not very long, since the building materials had basically been provided and even the foundation had been laid in some places, the construction plan of the entire Shaya area was completed in a short period of time.

The office that Fang Jie, Chen Pingan and others came to was actually an underground space of about 100 square meters. It was brightly lit, just like daytime.

There were more than sixty people in total, all gathered here for the meeting.

It turns out that they will be studying here for the next six months. They have been told exactly what they will be learning, which is technology related to solar panels, and all of them will learn it within these six months.

After completing the course, there will be an assessment.

And dormitories will be reallocated based on the assessment results.

If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to be assigned to a single luxury dormitory, which is a 56-square-meter one-bedroom and one-living room room with a private bathroom. It is like a home.

If you don't behave well, there's nothing to say and you'll have to continue living in a four-person room.

As for salary and other things, they will also be divided into different levels based on work performance.

Li Zhihu and his friends each returned to the dormitory with a pile of books. As soon as they put them down, everyone started discussing.

"Do you think these solar panels are really that amazing? They can actually generate electricity from sunlight. If that's true, then I can understand why such a large laboratory was built here."

Fang Jie is from Tianjin and is quite knowledgeable. Li Zhihu and the other three are from rural areas and had little exposure to these aspects of knowledge when they were young. So when they heard him say this, they immediately asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten all your geography lessons? Didn't we learn that in the second year of junior high? The Northwest has long hours of sunshine. This solar panel technology takes advantage of this, so it can use the sunlight energy in the Northwest to generate electricity, without wasting the sunlight energy here."

"I don't know if this is a first in our country, but if it is, that would be fantastic."

"Bullshit! We haven't even developed it yet, so what good is it? I'm just worried that our creativity will be discovered by those foreigners, ah."

"I don't think it's likely to be discovered. Think about where this place is. No one knows its exact location, and our Great Northwest is a very large place. It's simply a pipe dream for those foreigners to want to come in here."

As Li Zhihu and the other three were chatting, the topic quickly went off track.

Although these young people are young, the level of their thinking is simply incomparable to their peers in later generations.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the times.

Because in this era, there is not much entertainment life at all. Most of the people around me are patriotic. Most of the ambitious young people discuss topics related to the pulse of the times, such as the previous atomic bomb explosion and the launch of the Dongfanghong-1 satellite. These are hot topics discussed by the whole nation and will not dissipate for a long time.

In the environment of later generations, probably not many people still remember the year of my country's first manned space flight, who the astronauts were, and what the spacecraft was called, Shenzhou.

However, people like Fang Jie and Li Zhihu not only remember it very clearly, but can even remember the exact time, because they discuss it very often and are of course deeply impressed.

No matter how they discussed or fantasized about the Shaya Laboratory and solar panel technology, Zhao Mancang had already sent more than 3,000 people here.

After completing his last mission of sending someone off, Zhao Mancang immediately contacted Tie Wanzhong and others who were more than 80 kilometers away through the walkie-talkie.

Tie Wanzhong and his team are now patrolling in the four directions of the Shaya Laboratory, more than 80 kilometers away from the laboratory, trying to encounter those spies here and successfully eliminate them.

After confirming that they had not encountered any spies yet, Zhao Mancang asked Qi Zizhou to arrange people to deliver supplies to Lao Tie and the others to ensure that they could survive in those places.

At the beginning of October, the natural environment in the Taklamakan Desert became increasingly harsh. Although Tie Wanzhong and his team were on a mission, they were not without support.

Judging from the current situation, those spies probably haven't found their location yet, and are even still wandering around in some places.

Because although the Taklamakan Desert is very large, about 400 kilometers wide from north to south and about 1,000 kilometers long from east to west, there are still large amounts of desert and Gobi outside the desert. The harsh environment here is simply unimaginable.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for those spies to wander around here and even encounter situations like being trapped in a maze.

"Xiao Qi, call everyone to a meeting now."

After finishing the call with Tie Wanzhong and others, Zhao Mancang turned to look at Qi Zizhou and asked the latter to notify Xu Qinggong and others to hold a meeting.

Half an hour later, in a conference room in the central office of Shaya Laboratory, Zhao Mancang presided over today's meeting. There were quite a few people attending the meeting, a total of twenty-eight people.

"Everyone present here is currently managing the various departments of our Shaya Laboratory. The upcoming meeting is very important, so please listen carefully."

"First and foremost, the issue of supplies is closely related to all of you. Food, frozen meat, fresh meat and other supplies are not a problem, but fresh vegetables are a big problem."

"Everyone knows this place is located in the northwest, so transporting all supplies here is very difficult. Until now, they have only been delivered by air. Therefore, the supply of vegetables is a big problem here. I have a few solutions. First, I will increase the supply of meat to you so that everyone can have enough to eat. Second, I will purchase more soybeans and mung beans from outside so that your cafeteria can make tofu, bean sprouts, etc. Third, your agricultural and sideline products research and development department will first solve the problem of vegetable greenhouse cultivation here."

"Anyway, there's no shortage of people here. When the students have nothing to do, we can take them to the greenhouse to do some farm work."

Zhao Mancang's words made everyone's eyes light up.

In fact, people don’t like vegetables very much. Instead, they prefer meat. Everyone knows that there is meat for every meal here.

But now with so many new people added, can we still guarantee that we will have meat to eat every day in the future?
Therefore, Xu Qinggong couldn't help but ask, "Leader Zhao, will we still be able to eat meat every meal here in the future?"

"Yes, why not?" Zhao Mancang nodded immediately and said, "Not only can you eat meat, but you can even eat fresh pork, beef, and mutton in the future, because I plan to set aside a piece of land in the east specifically for raising cattle, sheep, and pigs."
