I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets upon hearing this. The staff member took a breath and continued, "Furthermore, due to differences in materials, the overall weight is 15% lighter than the M72, its off-road capability is 3 centimeters better, and its range is also significantly improved. In short, this motorcycle is an upgraded version of the M72, with excellent performance for both military and civilian use!"

Upon hearing these words, the leaders present all became breathless.

Song, the head of the Second Ministry of Machine Building, was so excited his face turned red: "Good! Good! Good! Zhou Weiguo, you've done another great service! You can build a motorcycle that's more advanced than the old man's! I really want to see what's going on in your head!"

Li, the head of the First Ministry of Machine Building, was also very excited: "Great! Let's divide the development work. You work on the military version, and I'll be in charge of the civilian version. It's settled then!"

Deputy Minister Wang looked at the two men and couldn't help but laugh, "Minister Li, Minister Song, you've probably forgotten, this is the steel rolling mill's territory! If I hadn't informed you, you'd still be in the dark. Isn't this a bit underhanded?"

The two men exchanged an awkward glance, then quickly put their arms around Vice Minister Wang's shoulders: "Minister Wang, your metallurgical department doesn't really need these motorcycles. How about this, we'll purchase all the parts that can be used on the motorcycles from you, okay?"

Vice Minister Wang shoved their hands away and said irritably, "Why should we? You take all the benefits from Zhou Weiguo's research and development in our factory, and we get nothing but scraps? That's outrageous!"

Li's and Song's troops were speechless for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, they could not come up with a solution.

Just then, Vice Minister Wang suddenly spoke up: "If you agree to one condition, I will not argue with you about this motorcycle production."

Li and Song looked at Vice Minister Wang with wary expressions and disbelief.

Vice Minister Wang said slowly, "Zhou Weiguo's next research achievement must be handed over to our steel rolling mill for production and allocation; you cannot interfere."

The two men looked at Vice Minister Wang suspiciously, then at Zhou Weiguo, wondering what kind of treasure this kid could have come up with so quickly. They readily agreed, "Okay, we agree!"

"Hey, hey, hey! You three have gone too far! What are we, the Ministry of Education, going to do now that you've divided it all up?" Minister Jiang shouted anxiously.

Song Bu smiled helplessly, "Old Jiang, don't make things worse. Your Ministry of Education doesn't even have a production line. Even if we gave it to you, you wouldn't be able to produce it."

Jiang Bu's eyes darted around, and he said, "Alright, we don't need motorcycles, but can't we at least get some blueprints? I'll get the major universities to study them and try to develop more advanced motorcycles."

"Impossible! Absolutely not!" the three ministers refused in unison.

Minister Song's expression was serious: "Minister Jiang, this is no joke. Once these motorcycles are mass-produced, they'll be military equipment. How can we just give them to universities? What if the technology leaks? This is no laughing matter!"

Li Bu also chimed in, "That's right, Lao Jiang, you shouldn't have made such a request."

Minister Jiang's face instantly darkened, and he angrily said, "So this motorcycle has nothing to do with our Ministry of Education, and we're not allowed to touch it? Is that what you mean? Are you planning to gang up on our Ministry of Education?"

Li realized he had spoken too harshly and quickly explained, "Old Jiang, don't misunderstand! We have no objection to giving the blueprints to Tsinghua University or its research institutes, but if you're planning to give them to major universities across the country... um..."

Halfway through his sentence, Li suddenly realized what was happening and stared at Jiang with wide eyes.

Seeing Song's helpless expression and Wang's suppressed laughter, Li slapped his own mouth in annoyance: "Serves you right for being so quick-tongued!"

Seeing this, Jiang Bu smiled slyly: "Since Old Li has said so, then we'll do as you say. The blueprints aren't urgent, you can use them first, just give Tsinghua a copy at the end."

Zhou Weiguo stood aside, watching the four leaders outwit each other, and secretly sighed, "Good heavens, four old guys, eight hundred schemes in one mind!"

I wanted to say a few words as a developer, but seeing the situation, I'd better not, lest my good intentions backfire and I get into trouble, which would be unpleasant.

He simply stood there obediently, not daring to utter a sound.

At this moment, Wang Jianguo rushed over, handed Song a piece of paper, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhou Weiguo was puzzled when he saw Wang Jianguo giving him winks, which left him completely confused.

Suddenly, Song looked at Zhou Weiguo and asked with a half-smile, "You kid, were you just thinking to yourself that we only know how to fight for credit and don't know how to reward the meritorious?"

Zhou Weiguo was startled, thinking to himself, "Could this Old Song be a time traveler? Does he have mind-reading abilities?"

Seeing his expression, Song Bu stood up with a strange look on his face: "You kid, you're not really cursing us, are you?"

Before Zhou Weiguo could speak, Song suddenly shouted sternly, "Attention!"

Zhou Weiguo straightened up as if by reflex.

Song's subordinate scanned the surroundings and ordered, "All unauthorized personnel, evacuate within two minutes and retreat to a distance of 200 meters!"

The staff were taken aback for a moment, then quickly dispersed.

Once everyone had retreated some distance, Song looked at Zhou Weiguo and solemnly said, "Major Zhou Weiguo!"

Despite his doubts, Zhou Weiguo immediately responded.

Song Bu picked up the paper and read aloud: "According to Commander Qin's order, Comrade Zhou Weiguo has secretly established Research Institute 749 within the steel rolling mill, under the General Staff Equipment Department, as a deputy division-level unit. Zhou Weiguo is appointed as the director of the institute. Personnel within the institute can be drawn from the First Ministry of Machine Building, the Second Ministry of Machine Building, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Metallurgy. All departments must fully cooperate. It is also proposed that the Technical Section of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill be upgraded to a Technical Division, with Zhou Weiguo appointed as the deputy division-level division chief."

After hearing this, Zhou Weiguo felt his head buzzing and couldn't react for a moment.

Song put away the documents, looking displeased, and said, "What are you all standing there for? Did you understand? You've been promoted again! From now on, the Second Ministry of Machine Building won't be able to control you!"

Zhou Weiguo then came to his senses and quickly said with a forced smile, "Commander Song, please stop teasing me! I'm just a lowly soldier; you can discipline me anytime you want!"

Everyone relaxed again. Song, still somewhat disgruntled, said, "I just don't understand. Our Second Ministry of Machine Building is also under Elder Qin's command, so why do they insist on transferring you to the General Staff?"

Zhou Weiguo responded with a wronged expression, "Minister Song, what are you saying? If you don't know, how would I? We're just like bricks in the revolution, ready to be moved wherever needed!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at Zhou Weiguo's appearance.

At this moment, Director Li asked with a curious look, "Weiguo, tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​developing this motorcycle?"

Zhou Weiguo explained, "Minister Li, back when I was at Harbin Institute of Technology, I often saw the 'Big Goose' experts riding these things, and I always tried to figure them out. Later, I happened to find one that broke down and no one was fixing it, so I tinkered with it myself. Ever since then, I've been thinking about building a motorcycle of our own Xia Kingdom. I happened to be stuck at the factory lately, so I gave it a try, and I never expected it to actually succeed."

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
