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

Upon hearing this, Director Wang quickly asked, "Comrade Natasha, could you explain the reason?"

Natasha nodded and continued, "Currently, the oxygen top-blown converter technology of the Great Goose is almost at its bottleneck. However, given the situation in China, we need to modify many of the automated technologies in this converter to be manually operated, which will be easier for China to implement. Even if China has the basic technology later, it can still be upgraded."

Director Wang rubbed his hands together, looking puzzled, and said, "Comrade Natasha, are you saying that Austria's technology is more advanced than Goose's? Since you have mastered this technology, why doesn't Goose use Austria's technology?"

Natasha rolled her eyes at Director Wang: "In Da'e, it's not about who's the most capable and skilled; otherwise, I'd be more than just a Level 4 engineer by now. It's not time yet. You don't understand now, but you Chinese will eventually."

Okay, I'm not going to waste any more time with you. This is a list I recently compiled of refractory materials and furnace lining protection materials, as well as the preparation formulas and extraction schemes for several special steels and alloys, and some raw materials.

You should immediately arrange for your materials science experts to conduct experiments to extract these materials, as they may be needed later. This needs to be done as soon as possible. I will then draw up some blueprints and tell you which materials to use for manufacturing.

The main challenges in building an oxygen top-blown converter in China lie in materials, furnace structure design, oxygen lance cooling and arrangement, refractory materials and furnace lining protection, and process control adaptability. Materials are the most critical aspect. I will try to solve the other problems, but as you said, this will likely require the cooperation of many heavy industry materials scientists in China; otherwise, I couldn't finish it all by myself.

Director Wang stared in shock at the stack of papers handed to him. After glancing through them, he said to Natasha with a look of utter astonishment, "Comrade Natasha, you're just giving us such confidential materials science formulas like this? Are you sure you won't be punished when you return home?"

Natasha looked surprised: "You're not going to report this to the geese, are you? Just sneak into the village quietly, don't shoot, and that'll be fine."

Zhou Weiguo was baffled by these words: "What are you talking about? How can you say something like that?"

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

Director Wang also looked bewildered, and after a long while, he said, "Comrade Natasha, you... you really leave me at a loss. Don't worry, I will report this matter immediately and guarantee that no information about you will be leaked."

Natasha said nonchalantly, "I don't really care. I'm here to find my brother Weiguo anyway. If Da'e can't go back, then I can just spend my whole life with my brother Weiguo."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo looked at Natasha anxiously: "Natasha, don't talk nonsense."

Director Wang and Elder Qin exchanged a shocked glance, then exchanged a knowing look. Elder Qin joked, "For the sake of the country! I think Comrade Natasha has a lot of feelings for you. You're a man, for goodness' sake, why aren't you giving her any response?"

Zhou Weiguo's face grew even more bitter, and he desperately tried to wink at Natasha: "Can you please stop acting?"

To everyone's surprise, Natasha not only didn't back down, but also pretended to be deeply affectionate: "Old Qin, let it go. Maybe Weiguo doesn't like me. But it doesn't matter. I can accept one-sided platonic love. I will always stay by Weiguo's side and be a caring older sister."

Zhou Weiguo could no longer hold back and said to Natasha with a frustrated expression, "Natasha, that's enough! Although Elder Qin and Uncle Wang are my elders, they are leaders of Xia Kingdom. Can't you watch your words? Can you stop acting like this every day? If you keep this up, you can't stay by my side anymore."

Before Natasha could even speak, looking like she was about to cry, Old Qin objected, pointing his finger at Zhou Weiguo and yelling, "You little brat, how dare you talk like that? Comrade Natasha is a guest of our Xia Kingdom, are you looking for a beating?!"

He was cursing as he blinked rapidly, as if to say, "If you dare to drive this tech guru away, I'll beat you up."

Natasha blinked her big eyes, smiled, and looked at Zhou Weiguo with a smug expression.

Director Wang and Old Qin "disciplined" Zhou Weiguo again before Director Wang carefully hid the few sheets of paper in his inner pocket and rushed off to report.

At this moment, Zhou Weiguo stood to one side like a wronged young wife, while Old Qin and Natasha sat beside him chatting happily. If you didn't look at their skin color, they would look like a grandfather and granddaughter having a casual chat.

"Grandpa Qin, do you think I can stay in Xia Kingdom indefinitely?"

Old Qin said with certainty, "Of course! Given the relationship between our Xia Kingdom and the Goose Kingdom, you can not only stay indefinitely, but even if you want to have dual citizenship, I can find a way for you."

Natasha looked conflicted: "Grandpa Qin, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

Grandpa Qin laughed: "Hey, you little girl, you've even learned to use our Xia language. Tell me, what can't you say?"

Natasha thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa Qin, since you mentioned an old saying from Xia Kingdom, you should know the saying, 'Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and people don't stay good for a thousand days.' Do you think the goose and Xia Kingdom will always be friends?"

Upon hearing this, Old Qin immediately sat up straight, looking at Natasha with a serious expression: "Natasha, have you heard something?"

Natasha looked bitter: "Mr. Qin, you should be able to guess many things without even hearing them. Both are major powers, ranking among the top five in global land area, and most importantly, they are neighboring countries. Both want to become stronger. Do you think these two countries will continue to live in harmony?"

"Holy crap?" Zhou Weiguo was stunned. "Natasha, have you gone mad? You dare say anything like that?"

Natasha gently shook her head and continued, "Grandpa Qin, I'm telling you this without any ulterior motives. I'm just worried that one day, because of the country, I won't be able to stay by Weiguo's side anymore."

Old Master Qin fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he spoke: "Natasha, I understand what you mean. Here I give you a guarantee: no matter what the relationship is between countries, as long as you, Natasha, do not do anything to harm the country or the people in our Xia Kingdom, I will ensure that you have a smooth and worry-free life in Xia Kingdom."

Natasha beamed, "That's wonderful! Mr. Qin, you must keep your word!"

Old Qin smiled and nodded: "A gentleman's word is his bond. I can make decisions on this matter. In addition, I'll give you another promise: if you really lead your team to complete the research and development of a 30-ton oxygen top-blown converter for our country within six months, I'll give you another surprise."

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