Xihai Province, which occupies the roof of the world, has a long history.
Xihai Province was called the Hercynian Corridor in ancient times. It was one of the important routes of the ancient Silk Road and is as famous as the famous Hexi Corridor in the world.
war,
trading,
in law,
Attached.....
After thousands of years of complicated entanglements.
Xihai Province has been completely integrated into the country and has become an indispensable part of China.
When mentioning Xihai Province, one must mention a county.
That is Guide County.
It is the earliest county town in Xihai Province. It can be said that Guide has existed since the beginning of civilized activities.
As the old saying goes, "The Yellow River in the world values virtue and purity."
The word Guide refers to Guide County.
Guide County is located in the transition zone between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The ruggedness of the northwest and the moisture of the south of the Yangtze River are integrated into Guide.
Later generations of Guide also established the Guide National Geopark, and even a cold joke about Guide was born:
The pinyin of Guide is "guide", so the English title of Guide County Travel Guide is...
"guide to guide".
Guide in 2023 has been built into a slightly famous tourist attraction, known as Plateau Little Jiangnan.
But in this era, Guide County is not as sophisticated as it would be in later generations.
At this time, Guide County was just a small, poor county with various wooden or stone houses that were rickety and extremely old.
Look around.
There are only two buildings with a height of more than three stories in Guide County:
One is the state-owned guest house.
The second is the office building of the only junior high school in the county.
Other than that.
Although the streets in the county can barely be called wide, they are almost all paved with one deep and one shallow bluestone slab, making it very bumpy to walk on.
There is a small red ballot box placed on the side of the road in a certain section of the street, and the wall near the ballot box is painted with positive slogans that have a sense of the times.
A large speaker was tied to a four- to five-meter-high wooden pole next to the wall, playing a voice with a sharp but full voice:
"Important notice, important notice!"
"In the afternoon, the Gaozhuang production team will carry out collective canal digging work. A full day of labor will be credited with five work points, and a half day of labor will be credited with two work points..."
"In addition, women comrades who have signed up to participate in pig raising technology training must go to the commune lounge after lunch to gather and be notified again..."
If you raise your sight higher.
You can also see farmers cultivating in the fields and busy workers in various brigade companies.
And at the same time the speaker was "noisy".
Outside the county town.
The tile kiln factory affiliated to Anding Commune.
Stab——
There was a sound of brakes.
A Yangtze River 46 jeep parked steadily outside the Wayao Factory.
The exterior of this Jeep was severely worn, and the dark paint with scars and textures everywhere turned gray-brown due to sand and dust.
The glass of the headlights was covered with tiny scratches, the windshield was severely damaged by sand and dust, there were plate-like pits on the iron sheet outside the car, and the mottled, scaly metal surface was faded everywhere.
Immediately following the jeep that stopped, there were several military green Jiefang brand CA10 trucks behind it.
After a while.
The door of the jeep was opened from the inside.
A middle-aged man wearing a people's uniform and a young man in a white shirt and blue uniform pants got out of the car.
The two people were clearly ‘Lao Guo’ and the young man in the passenger seat.
After getting off the car.
The young man first rolled up the cuffs of his shirt above his wrists, then stretched out his hand to shake the dust out of his hair.
Then he walked to the tire on the passenger side and took a look, and he let out a sigh:
"Hey, what a big pile of sheep dung, Lao Guo, it looks like he is really a dung beetle?"
Lao Guo glanced at him and did not answer.
After a while.
A middle-aged officer also got off a CA10 truck in the rear.
The officer wore a grass-green twill military uniform, a military-green hat, and a dark complexion.
After getting off the car.
The officer straightened his collar first, walked quickly to Lao Guo, and said with concern:
"Comrade Youlai, you have traveled hundreds of kilometers all of a sudden. Is your health okay?"
Lao Guo immediately puffed up his chest and said with a smile:
"Battlemaster Lin, are you looking down on me? It's only less than two hundred kilometers away, so what does it mean?"
"If I were that delicate, I would have packed up and gone back to my hometown."
Seeing that Lao Guo still had the heart to say such literate words, Battalion Commander Lin finally had a smile on his dark face.
Then he looked at the sky and briefly judged the time, and said to Lao Guo:
"Comrade Youlai, our task is urgent. Since there are no problems, let's go to the people in the factory to hand over the situation first."
Lao Guo nodded when he heard this and made a gesture of invitation:
"Camp Commander Lin, please."
Then Lao Guo, Battalion Commander Lin and the young man in white shirts walked to the iron gate of the Wayao Factory and knocked on the door several times.
Half a minute later.
A tall, middle-aged man with a shaved head and a face full of plateau red appeared in the sulfur factory.
The man is dressed in a worker's attire, giving people a rough and powerful look.
After walking to the iron gate.
The middle-aged man was in no hurry to open the door.
He first looked at the trucks outside, then looked at Lao Guo and the other three, and asked:
"Several comrades, I am Huang Weiguo, the director of the Way Kiln Factory. Some of you look a little unfamiliar. They don't look like people from our county..."
Lao Guo looked around and saw that there was indeed no one around, so he replied in the same dialect:
"Director Huang, we are from the 221 mine. Our factory director said that a batch of good tiles from Yanjing have just arrived here, so he asked us to come over and buy some with you."
"I heard that your batch of tiles has both green tiles and red tiles. To be honest, our team is almost looking forward to Demba as we look forward to the green tiles."
Said.
Lao Guo took out a certificate and handed it to Huang Weiguo.
Huang Weiguo took the certificate and glanced at it carefully.
After that, his face was still innocent, but his eyes instantly became serious.
I saw him smacking his mouth a few times and saying:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh, from the 221 Mine, right? Your Factory Director Zhang and I did talk about this."
"Since we are old acquaintances, let's come in and pick up the goods - but you still have to give the material coupons. You can use cigarette or candy coupons instead."
Lao Guo naturally raised his hands and said yes.
Huang Weiguo then opened the iron gate himself, and the motorcade drove into the courtyard.
Several people just entered the yard.
Huang Weiguo pulled Lao Guo and Battalion Commander Lin aside.
I saw strong excitement and joy on this rough man's face. He grabbed Lao Guo's hand and shook it vigorously:
"Oh, comrades, you are finally here. You don't know how anxious I have been waiting these days."
"To tell you the truth, I'm still a little confused right now. Why did the supplies come to our route this time? It's so sudden..."
Lao Guo was informed of Huang Weiguo's identity in advance. Although Huang Weiguo did not work in the mine, his actual identity was that he was one of the few remaining meritorious deeds of the Zhongyuan Mountain Hero Company.
He is someone you can absolutely trust, and you can exchange some information with him when it is safe.
Therefore, Lao Guo did not hide anything from Huang Weiguo, but sighed slightly and explained:
"There is nothing we can do. The Shanzhou line is heavily guarded. Last week, more than three elements were killed. It is no longer safe."
"So after discussion, the leaders of the mine decided to send the new batch of supplies to the G317 route and take a long detour to the four counties of Guide, Dulan, Qilian and Gulang."
"Then four more fleets will be dispatched for handover and transportation. Although the road is a bit complicated, the win is stability... Well, ahem..."
Before Lao Guo finished speaking, his movements suddenly stopped.
The whole person started coughing violently.
So he quickly turned his body to one side, and skillfully took out a handkerchief from his body and covered his mouth.
The young man on the side quickly walked up behind him and gently patted Lao Guo on the back.
that's all.
After half a minute, Lao Guo's coughing stopped.
After your body returns to normal.
Lao Guo ran a hand down his chest and subconsciously glanced at the handkerchief in his hand. His eyes that were gradually relaxing suddenly became focused again.
After regaining consciousness.
He immediately wanted to stuff the handkerchief back into his trouser pocket.
But the young man on the side noticed the abnormality in Lao Guo's expression first, looked at Lao Guo's handkerchief, and shouted:
"Wait, Lao Guo, what is that on your handkerchief...Old Guo, are you vomiting blood?!" (Note: This is only explained once. The illnesses of all the characters in the copy are based on historical facts and are not deliberately fabricated to sensationalize)
Then the young man snatched Lao Guo's handkerchief and spread it flat in front of everyone.
I only see this moment.
The handkerchief, which was originally as white as snow, was suddenly printed with dots of bright red.
Seeing that his little trick was exposed by the young man, Lao Guo didn't feel ashamed, but waved his hand indifferently:
"It's just that I'm angry, Shaohui, don't worry too much. I know my own body well and I'm not that delicate."
When the young man named Shaohui heard this, he subconsciously wanted to retort:
"You're talking nonsense..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was seriously interrupted by Lao Guo again:
"Okay, Shaohui, if you have any questions, we'll talk to you back to the mine."
"Our task today is very important. In addition to assisting Battalion Commander Lin in transporting food supplies, there is also more important equipment waiting for us to receive it."
"There is no one in front of our country. Let's deal with the matters at hand first. No matter how urgent it is, don't rush it now."
After speaking, Lao Guo patted Shaohui twice on the shoulder without any explanation, turned to Huang Weiguo and said:
"Director Huang, let's get started."
"Comrade Guo, you...hey!"
Huang Weiguo opened his mouth, trying to say something.
But as a soldier, his rationality still prevailed over his sensibility at this time. Hearing this, he could only take a deep breath and said:
"Okay, everyone, please come with me."
Then under the leadership of Huang Weiguo.
The group of people took a detour through the factory area and soon came to a warehouse.
The warehouse seems to have only one floor, about four to five meters in height, but it covers a large area.
The heavy iron door is covered with reddish-brown rust, which is called "peeling" in some local dialects. It looks like it is very old.
Arrive at the warehouse.
Huang Weiguo quickly took out a key as long as a palm from his body and unlocked the warehouse door.
Then push hard.
Crunch——
The rusty door shaft of the warehouse door made a dry friction sound, slowly revealing the scene inside:
The top and sides of the warehouse are made of thick stone slabs, and the floor is filled with goods, a dense pile.
Most of the ones on the left are blue sacks, while those on the right are mainly wooden boxes.
I don’t know if the goods were moved not long ago.
I didn't see that kind of accumulation in the warehouse for a long time. As soon as I walked, I would raise a cloud of accumulated dust, which looked pretty good.
at the same time.
Huang Weiguo took out a small dagger from his body and handed it to Lao Guo:
"Comrade Guo, here you go."
"Thank you."
Lao Guo thanked him.
He took the dagger, walked to a green sack, and then lightly slashed it.
Hiss——
As the sack was torn open a small opening.
Bada——
A potato with a crooked head and some sprouts popped out from the mouth of the solid sack and fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Lao Guo quickly bent down to pick up the potato, put it in front of his mouth and blew the ashes several times, and carefully held it in his hand, as if looking at a rare treasure:
"Tsk, tsk, blue tile, this is the best green tile! I haven't seen it for four months..."
Talking and talking.
Lao Guo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
It was as if what was placed in front of him was not a piece of raw food, but a roasted potato that had just been pulled out from under the stove and was full of aroma.
However, Lao Guo's emotion only lasted for a few seconds before he came back to his senses and continued to check a few bags of supplies.
ten minutes later.
Lao Guo returned to Huang Weiguo, handed the dagger back to him, and said to Battalion Commander Lin:
"Battle Commander Lin, the supplies are in very good condition. Comrades, please start moving them."
Battalion Commander Lin looked serious:
"clear!"
Although until now he does not know the true identity and responsibilities of this comrade named Guo Youlai.
But before setting off, he was told by his superiors that he had to obey the other party's arrangements throughout the entire transportation of materials.
Therefore, after receiving instructions from Lao Guo.
Battalion Commander Lin immediately called the convoy members and began to move the supplies.
This time, Battalion Commander Lin brought a car company to Guide to hand over supplies. The vehicles were all CA10 Jiefang brand cars, with a total of 5 vehicles.
Based on the fact that a CA10 car can carry four tons, they will bring back a total of 20 tons of supplies.
For the convoys from the other three counties, the total amount of materials they can bring back this time is a full eighty tons.
The current total number of people in the mine is approximately more than 12,000, and these supplies are enough to last for a while.
Of course.
Not all of these eighty tons of supplies are food.
Of the more than 80 tons of materials, at least 30% were other things, so the weight of the grain was not actually as much as the figures indicated.
"One, two, one!"
"It's connected, hey!"
"Give me another bag, I can carry two bags!"
Looking at the many busy car soldiers, Lao Guo couldn't help but sigh deeply:
"Director Huang, to tell you the truth, without this batch of food, the comrades would really be unable to withstand it - I don't mean psychologically, but physically."
"There is an old saying in China, a long drought is followed by sweet rain, and this situation is no different than this."
to be honest.
Huang Weiguo is a rough guy who has never been to elementary school, so he couldn't understand a word of the second half of Lao Guo's sentence.
But as one of the members of the peripheral guard system who has been entrusted with important tasks, he is somewhat familiar with the situation in the mine.
That's really difficult...
Then he suddenly thought of something, turned to Lao Guo and asked:
"Comrade Guo, I heard that this batch of grain was borrowed by Nie Shuai in his own name?"
"borrow?"
Lao Guo glanced at Huang Weiguo and moved the corners of his mouth a few times, but still did not say the word 'begging':
"Yes, Nie Shuai personally went to Shencheng and finally borrowed these grains from the navy - in his and Mr. Chen's personal names, with an IOU." (The reviewer said this.
Don’t delete the paragraph, the IOU is a public exhibit in the Nie Shuai Exhibition Hall)
Huang Weiguo was silent when he heard this.
after awhile.
Seeing that the material transportation has gradually entered a normal rhythm,
Lao Guo tugged on Huang Weiguo's sleeves, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice:
"Director Huang, according to the instructions I received, in addition to blue tiles and red tiles, there should be a new tile from abroad..."
Upon hearing this, Huang Weiguo's eyes narrowed again.
He calmly nodded to Lao Guo and secretly took him and the young man named Shaohui out of the warehouse.
The three of them turned a corner along the side of the warehouse and arrived at another smaller and more inconspicuous room.
Then Huang Weiguo took out a small but complicated key again, inserted it into the keyhole, turned it gently, and opened the door.
The height of this room is only about two meters, and the area is not even 20 square meters, which is much smaller than the previous warehouse.
It's more like a larger bedroom or woodshed than a warehouse.
However, the house seemed to have been cleaned beforehand and was very clean. There were no beds, cabinets or other utensils in the house.
Except for a broom leaning against the corner.
All that's left in the stuff is...
A box placed in the house.
The appearance of the box is a flat rectangle, the whole body is made of leather, and it looks about 1x0.5x0.2 in size to the naked eye.
This specification is not large.
Other than that.
This box does not use an ordinary copper lock, but a combination lock.
After Lao Guo and Shaohui entered the house.
Factory Director Huang coughed lightly, took out a pack of cigarettes from his body, and said consciously:
"Comrade Guo, Comrade Cai, I'm going to smoke a cigarette outside the door first. If you need anything, just call me."
Finished.
Director Huang took the initiative to exit the room and closed the door.
When Lao Guo saw this, he did not try to retain him. After all, this was a requirement of the confidentiality regulations and had nothing to do with trust or distrust.
Wait until Director Huang's footsteps go away.
Lao Guo quickly came to the box and entered six numbers:
282931.
After a while.
Click——
The combination lock popped open with a sound.
Lao Guo quickly opened the box, took out a flashlight from his body, held it in his mouth and shined it into the box.
Shaohui vigilantly leaned against the door and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
""Nature"..."
""Annalen der.Physik"..."
""Physical Review Letters"......"
""Mineralogical Magazine"......"
Lao Guo held a flashlight in his mouth and mumbled the names of the books.
He carefully picked up each book, checked it, and then put it down again, as gently as he was handling fragile items.
For Huang Weiguo and others, these books, which are full of foreign languages, may not be able to understand any of the words on them, and it is even more difficult to understand their value.
But Lao Guo is different.
He is one of the few people among the hundreds of millions of people in this country who can understand the value of these books. He knows very well how much the country has paid for these books.
Foreign exchange and favors are just the beginning.
There were even more than one comrade on the confidentiality front who paid the price with his life to protect them from entering safely.
for example.....
Lao Guo, his friend named Ma at Caltech.
In order to protect several sets of books from the Malay Peninsula and send them to Hong Kong, that friend's life was permanently fixed at the age of 31 years and 47 days.
Suddenly.
Lao Guo felt that the books in his hands were a little heavy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because in addition to their own materials, they also carry the souls of heroes and martyrs.
.........
Half an hour later.
Crunch——
Lao Guo held the box in one hand and opened the door with Shaohui.
The place where Huang Weiguo was smoking was about 11 or 2 meters away from the door. Seeing this, he quickly walked up and asked with concern:
"Comrade Guo, how are you? Is Xinwa okay?"
Lao Guo nodded towards him, his face looking much more relaxed than at first:
"No problem, Director Huang, I really thank you for your hard work this time."
"Hey, what's so hard about this?"
Huang Weiguo waved his hand quickly, holding a cigarette in one hand and laughing heartily:
"It's all to make the country strong as soon as possible. This is our duty as soldiers. You are so polite."
Then Huang Weiguo put his hands on his forehead to make a tent, looked at the sky, and said:
"Looking at the weather, it should be almost noon...Comrade Guo, Comrade Cai, why don't you stay for a quick meal."
"Although our staple food here is only steamed buns made with whole grains, we are backed by the Yellow River, so wild fish and shrimps can be found just below the net."
"After eating, you can take a fishing rod and go fishing. If you're lucky, you can catch mortars, grenades and the like. One young man even caught armored vehicles."
Lao Guo:
"....?"
You call this fishing?
Of course.
This thought of complaining was fleeting, and Lao Guo quickly returned to business.
He shook his head slowly but firmly, declining Huang Weiguo's kindness:
"Director Huang, I appreciate your kindness. Our time is limited and our mission is special, so we won't stay here any longer."
"If possible, can you bring me some fish back to the mine? - There is a lesbian in our team who just gave birth to a baby and is not in good health. I want to cook some fish soup for her...
..”
"no problem!"
As soon as Lao Guo finished speaking, Huang Weiguo slapped his chest and said quickly:
"The water of the Yellow River here is very clear, so we specialize in Yellow River crucian carp. The effect of this thing on milking and restoring the body is awesome."
"Let's see. It will probably take some time before all the supplies are transported. I'll ask someone to go to the team stoves of several brigades to see if there are any alive crucian carp or mullet."
"If there is one, we can arrange another box and transport the fish and water back to the mine. The journey of more than a hundred kilometers should not be a big problem."
In fact, Huang Weiguo originally wanted to say that even if the fish died during this kind of journey, he could eat it, but thinking that it would not sound good to say so, he simply changed it to a more euphemistic way of saying it.
And opposite him.
Upon hearing Huang Weiguo's friendly arrangement, a trace of gratitude suddenly appeared on Lao Guo's face.
After all, he can fight against his own physical problems, but when it comes to his colleagues... or even his comrades' physical recovery, he has no reason to refuse.
Think of this.
Lao Guo quickly reached out his hand and shook Huang Weiguo's hand vigorously:
"This...Director Huang, that will really trouble you."
"Okay, Comrade Guo, I'll get angry if you keep being so polite."
Huang Weiguo pretended to be unhappy, but the strength in his hands was slightly increased:
"It's a pity that I don't have much ability and can't contribute to the country like you intellectuals. Otherwise, I really want to..."
Talk about this.
Huang Weiguo suddenly paused, a somewhat complicated expression appeared on his face, and asked Lao Guo in a low voice:
"Comrade Guo, let me explain first. I don't want to inquire about your specific research progress - I don't understand those things you said. I just want to know..."
"Can our country really develop that big guy?"
"Of course, if this also involves keeping secret progress, just pretend that I didn't ask anything!"
When Huang Weiguo said these words,
There was a hint of hope and trembling in his tone that even he himself didn't notice.
As a member of the famous Hero Company.
Of the 56 people in Huang Weiguo's original company, 53 were buried forever on the peninsula in the north.
At the same time, it was just before that battle.
He heard the name of that weapon for the first time.
For the first time, I saw worry that I had never seen before on the face of my invincible old leader.
Later, Huang Weiguo learned from his superior's security guard that the other side of the sea was clamoring to release such weapons to join the war, but our country did not have the means to compete with them.
Now many years have passed.
Huang Weiguo still clearly remembers the appearance of the baby-faced guard. When he smiled, he was missing a front tooth. He was tender and naive.
That little guy seemed to be 19 years old at the time, right?
Oh no, it should be 18 - the age when he sacrificed his life at 19.
Along with the appearance of the guard, Huang Weiguo kept in mind the name of the weapon:
Atomic bomb.
Although that battle ended with the rabbits' miraculous victory, the rabbits defeated the arrogant and absolute overlord.
But it is undeniable.
For a certain period of time, the atomic bomb did bring untold pressure to the rabbits.
So when the old leader came to him and asked him if he was willing to become a member of the peripheral security system of a top-secret project...
Huang Weiguo agreed without hesitation.
But all along, Huang Weiguo had a question in his mind:
With our poor family, can we really come up with such a thing?
It is said that there are only four countries in the world that possess atomic bombs.
"..."
Looking at Huang Weiguo who was full of hope, Lao Guo had not yet spoken, but the young man named Shaohui couldn't help but speak:
"Director Huang, I know what you are thinking. This is a national plan that involves hundreds of years and thousands of years. Although the conditions are a little bit off, we will definitely succeed!"
I don’t know if it’s because Shaohui is too young.
After hearing these words, Huang Weiguo still had some hesitation in his tone:
"But Comrade Cai, I heard that we don't have any technical information in this area in China, and almost everything relies on projects created by Mao Xiong experts."
"But now that the expert on Mao Xiong is gone, we are equivalent to... equivalent to..."
Huang Weiguo was stuck for a few seconds, as if he didn't know what example to give.
But soon he thought of something, turned around, pointed to a chimney not far away and said:
"Look, that's the kiln of our brick and tile factory. Only by pressing the switch can the fire be turned on to burn the tiles."
"Today, in order to keep the material transportation confidential, all employees in the tile factory were arranged to farm outdoors, and the kilns were naturally stopped."
"In a sense, this is like those experts returning to the woolly bear."
"Our current situation is equivalent to being cut off from the fire. Without the permission of the switch, how could this tile burn?"
As a result, Huang Weiguo had just finished speaking.
Not far away, a burst of exclamations suddenly sounded:
"No, there's a fire in the kiln!!! Someone come and put out the fire!!!!"
.....
Note:
Thanks to the leader of the Wendao Zhuyi Jinren for the reward!
In the last hour at the end of the month, students who have monthly votes can vote?
