Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

Less than a month after Longxing was established, the blueprints submitted by Li Yu were completed and manufactured.

Li Yu looked at the row of man-portable air defense missiles displayed on the worktable.

The green paint and large launch port.

Li Yu said to Zhou Qiming, who was standing next to him, "Go to the security department and call a few people to come and try dragging him out."

Zhou Qiming looked at Li Yu in disbelief: "Try it? You're serious?"

"Are you sure we want to try it ourselves?"

Seeing that Li Yu ignored him, Zhou Qiming had no choice but to go to the security department.

A little while later, Zhou Qiming arrived with several men in military uniforms.

"Chief Engineer Li, I've brought the person to you."

"The rest is none of my business."

Li Yu looked at the group of people.

"Do you know what this is?"

The group looked at the row of rocket launchers in front of them with puzzlement.

"It's probably a rocket launcher!"

"I don't think so. Rocket launchers don't have barrels that long."

Seeing that the group was still discussing it, Li Yu had no choice but to say, "These are anti-aircraft rockets."

Company Commander Zhang, the team leader, was now in a panic. "What? This is for air defense?"

"This size?"

Li Yu nodded: "Yes! It's for air defense, and it's specifically designed to target American supersonic fighter jets."

"Impossible! How could it be!" Company Commander Zhang exclaimed.

"We'll find out if we try."

Under the escort of Company Commander Zhang and several soldiers, Li Yu and his group arrived at the weapons testing range.

This was something Li Yu had requested to be built from the very beginning.

It's actually just a large open space, a bunch of concrete walls, and two mountains in the distance.

Li Yu pointed to the man-portable air defense missile in front of him and said to the row of soldiers standing in front of him, "This is the latest man-portable rocket developed by our factory."

"Now I'll tell you how to use it."

In no time, the soldiers had mastered the key points of its use.

Li Yu and a group of technicians retreated more than ten meters away, leaving Company Commander Zhang with a soldier adjusting parameters against a cement wall five hundred meters away.

"emission!"

With a loud "whoosh and bang," the cement wall 500 meters away completely disappeared, leaving a deep crater.

Company Commander Zhang stared wide-eyed at the distant explosion site.

He hadn't expected that this thing could actually track automatically, because he had just instructed the soldiers to preset the target and launch it into the sky, just as Li Yu had told him.

As a result, the cement wall was still blown to pieces.

We arrived at the remains of the cement wall.

"Did...did we really build this ourselves?"

Looking at the crater that was more than five meters deep in front of me.

Just as Li Yu and his men were testing the waters, one shot after another.

Chief of Staff Fan of the military sub-district received a phone call.

"What? You're saying Li Yu is test-firing a new weapon?"

After hanging up the phone, Chief of Staff Fan called several accompanying personnel and technicians, and they got into the car and headed to the Longxing test firing range.

Li Yu looked at Company Commander Zhang, whose face was full of excitement.

"How was it? Pretty awesome, right?"

"Hahaha, awesome! If we had had this sooner, that reconnaissance plane definitely wouldn't have been able to escape China last time!"

It turns out that the West sends reconnaissance planes to fly over China almost every month.

Unfortunately, they had neither fighter jets to counter the enemy nor anti-aircraft weapons to intercept them.

Even if they existed, it would be very inconvenient, because it is impossible to build air defense bases at every border post.

Looking at the few missiles left, Company Commander Zhang said with heartache, "How about we keep these few?"

Li Yu waved his hand and said, "No need to keep him. We'll only know if there are any problems after trying more."

Suddenly, the roar of an engine came from afar, and several jeeps were seen rapidly approaching.

Chief of Staff Fan rushed over as soon as he got out of the car.

Upon seeing Staff Officer Fan, Li Yu jokingly asked with a smile, "Chief of Staff, what brings you to our factory today?"

"If I don't come soon, are you going to try everything before telling me?"

Li Yu scratched his head and said with a smile, "I just wanted to test fire it first to see if there were any problems, after all, this thing is going to be used on the battlefield."

"You little brat, don't try to fool me!"

Upon seeing Staff Officer Fan, Company Commander Zhang, who was some distance away, immediately led his men in a line and ran over.

He approached, stood at attention, and saluted. "Good morning, Chief of Staff!"

After returning the greeting, Staff Officer Fan asked, "How effective has it been for you?"

Company Commander Zhang said solemnly, "Reporting to the Chief of Staff! The results are excellent!"

"Great? Go! Give me a shot and let me see."

"Aim at the hilltop opposite and fire!"

Just as Company Commander Zhang picked up the launcher...

"Woo woo woo~" The air raid siren sounded.

Chief of Staff Fan picked up his binoculars and began to observe the surroundings.

"Where! U2!"

"This is outrageous! Not only did they enter the capital, but they also dared to fly at low altitudes!"

"Zhang Qiusheng! I order you to shoot it down!"

Company Commander Zhang immediately raised the anti-aircraft missile in his hand and locked onto the U2 in the air through the electronic sights.

The American pilots on the plane kept circling over Longxing.

His task was to take photos of Longxing.

Previously, the US had received intelligence from spies within Longxing.

Regarding the recent weapons test firing in Longxing, reconnaissance aircraft were dispatched to gather intelligence.

The pilot in the air saw explosions at the test firing range below and knew that weapons were being tested, so he planned to swoop down to take pictures.

Just as it was diving, the cabin alarms went off frantically.

"Fuck!"

Tom immediately pulled the plane up, but just as he was pulling up...

"Boom!" The plane was blown into a fireball.

Watching the planes explode into fireballs and scatter in all directions, Staff Officer Fan exclaimed excitedly, "Great!"

"Hahaha! I'll show you how arrogant you can be!"

Company Commander Zhang and his soldiers stared in disbelief at what they were seeing. This was a U2! They never expected it to be shot down by a single-soldier "rocket launcher".

Even now, Zhang Qiusheng still can't believe his eyes; he actually shot down a U2 with a single shot.

The group of technicians standing behind them, who were taking notes, didn't even notice that their pens had fallen to the ground.

Suddenly, the entire test site erupted in cheers.

"We did it! Li Yu, look, the plane has been shot down!" Zhou Qiming shouted excitedly to Li Yu.

Although Li Yu was very excited inside, he remained calm on the surface and said, "It's just a U2, isn't it?"

Seeing Li Yu's composure, Zhou Qiming quickly gave him a thumbs up and said, "As expected of you, you're the best actor I've ever met."

"If you're not excited, why are your hands shaking?"

Li Yu looked at his hands.

"See! Just as I expected!"

Seeing Zhou Qiming's antics, Li Yu could only remain speechless.

A lieutenant colonel at the U.S. military base pointed at the radar map and said, "Can anyone tell me what's going on here?"

"Where's our plane? Why is there no signal?"

"It suddenly disappeared without the other side launching missiles to intercept it!"

The technician standing nearby was sweating profusely as he checked various data, but no matter how many times he checked, the results showed that the plane had been shot down.

"It's probably already been shot down!"

The lieutenant colonel slammed the report in his hand onto the table.

"Fuck! Fuck!"
