On the side were Mr. Wang, Sun Junren and Liu Youcheng.
Zheng Tao, Zhou Shaoping and others around Xu Yun also turned their attention to the direction where Qian Wushi and Lao Guo appeared.
After all, the jeep makes a lot of noise, and its size is also very obvious.
Theoretically speaking.
Except for StarCraft players, normal people would basically glance over there subconsciously.
After seeing Master Qian appear.
Mr. Wang was startled for a moment, then raised his distinctive eyebrows in surprise and shouted:
"Five...Old Qian? Why are you here?"
Mr. Wang subconsciously wanted to shout out the words "Fifth Division".
However, after thinking that there were Xu Yun and some other people around him, he changed to the more immodest title of Lao Qian.
Say it.
He walked quickly towards Qian Fifth Division.
At this time, Mr. Wang was just over 40. He may not be at his peak in terms of energy, but there is nothing wrong with him being in his prime.
Therefore, he does not have to sit in a wheelchair and be pushed forward like what Xu Yun saw in reality. He can walk with ease.
On the contrary, Xu Yun, who is very lively in reality, can only sit in a wheelchair and be pushed around in the dungeon...
Take more than ten steps.
Mr. Wang had already walked up to Master Qian. He put his hands on Master Qian's shoulders and shook them a few times:
"Old Qian, when did you arrive at the base?"
"I just came here not long ago. Well, my luggage is still in the car."
Master Qian smiled and pointed at the jeep behind him, then looked at Mr. Wang up and down, and nodded slowly:
"Well, you seem to be in good spirits, Yaoping. It seems that you haven't starved to death recently."
Wang Laoze gave him a punch.
Although one of Mr. Wang and Mr. Qian was born in 21, and the other was born in 11, they are almost one round apart in age.
But usually their relationship is quite good, and there is no age gap at all.
Firstly, it was because the dormitory they lived in after returning to China was in the next room. Mr. Wang's lover was not around at that time, so he often went to Master Qian Wu's house to have dinner.
Second, like Master Qian, Mr. Wang is also a typical example of someone who changed his career for the sake of the country.
That's right.
Mr. Wang also changed careers midway.
Mr. Wang’s original major was thermal power plant power generation, but for China’s first sounding rocket “T-7M” project, he passively transitioned to the direction of sounding rockets.
This transformation lasts a lifetime.
The third time is...
Now they are respectively in charge of missiles and satellites in the two-bomb and one-satellite project, and they have an extraordinary resonance with the words "heavy responsibility on their shoulders".
So now we just met.
Master Qian started to tease Mr. Wang:
What Qian Wushi calls "starving to death" does not refer to the physiological condition, but to the situation that Mr. Wang is currently responsible for.
That is to say, the country was forced to shift its direction to nuclear weapons research and development due to the international situation, which resulted in Mr. Wang and his project team having less business.
If these words were spoken to a casual friend, they would undoubtedly be regarded as sarcastic or even hostile remarks.
But for Mr. Wang and Master Qian, this is a reflection of their deep feelings.
after awhile.
Mr. Wang suddenly thought of something.
I saw him pat his forehead lightly, let out a slightly long tone, and said to Master Qian:
"Oh I see."
"Co-author Lao Qian, it turns out you are the person in charge of the Zhuxian Sword project team?"
"No wonder I said it's been two days, why haven't I seen the person in charge of the Zhuxian Sword team? It turns out they are reinforcements transferred from the capital?"
Master Qian also smiled when he heard this, and patted his chest confidently:
"No, the Immortal Killing Sword is a weapon used for the final blow. It must be polished by a master like me."
"Otherwise, it's easy to say that the construction period will be delayed, but if we miss the target, things will become very troublesome in the future."
This time.
Mr. Wang stopped teasing Fifth Master Qian, but nodded seriously:
"That's true. If you, the Fifth Division, take action, what does a mere U2 mean?"
Hear this.
Master Qian couldn't help but laugh.
Many people in later generations have probably heard such a story:
When Qian's Fifth Division was preparing to return home from across the sea, a senior general from across the sea firmly expressed his opposition and said a famous saying:
"We must not allow Fifth Division Qian to return to China. His power alone is as powerful as five divisions!"
But in 2023.
There are two rumors about this story on the Internet.
One rumor is that the person who said this is the Neon Emperor or Eisenhower, which is a relatively common situation in the process of information dissemination.
But another rumor is different.
They said that this story is fictitious and no one has said this at all. This is their own self-improvement.
Thump thump thump!
The long-awaited mini-class on refuting rumors has begun.
first.
This story is not fictional, it is true.
Secondly.
The person who said this was indeed not the two people in the rumor, but Daniel Kimbell, the Undersecretary of the Navy across the sea.
That's right.
He was the one who had one of the few friends of Qian's Fifth Division across the sea, but in the end made "unremitting efforts" to force Mr. Qian to stay across the sea for five years.
Kimbell's words were recorded in the book "The a Cloud" by William Ryan and Sam Samsummerlin, which is available as a used book on Amazon.
The original words there are as follows:
"I'd rather see him shot tha him go," Kimball was knowold frieh three to five divisions anyplace."
In addition, "Thread of the Silkworm" written by Zhang Chunru also intercepted the original image of the CBS database.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, it is a pity.
Nowadays, many people are "refuting the rumor" that the story of Academician Zhao Zhongyao's original delivery of radium is false. They also mentioned a sentence in passing - "In addition, the story about Qian Wushi is also fabricated. If you look carefully, you will find that there is no truth at all."
There is no one who can say this."
This is actually a very scary phenomenon.
By refuting a certain fabricated false story, and then using another incident that is also exaggerated but actually happened to "crack down on fakes".
Ever since.
The true deeds or contributions of certain ancestors have been questioned or even erased.
How deplorable...
His eyes returned to reality.
After separating the body.
Qian Wushi looked around again, his eyes quickly scanning the many young people in the sideline team.
Finally stopped at...
On Xu Yun who is sitting in a wheelchair.
no way.
Xu Yun’s situation is really easy to identify:
He was the only person in the audience who was sitting in a wheelchair. Most of his body was still covered with bandages, and the few areas that were not bandaged were burn wounds.
It looks like Yin Morton has returned from his mummy state to swallowing a cowboy...
Then Qian Wushi thought for a moment, then walked to Xu Yun and asked him:
"Comrade, you must be Donkey... Han Li who returned from Europe, right?"
"...."
Looking at Master Qian standing in front of him.
Xu Yun suppressed the excitement in his heart and gently touched the other party's hands:
"Yes, I am Han Li, may I ask who you are..."
Qian Wushi smiled, pointed at himself and said:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Wushi. I am currently responsible for the research and development of some domestic missile projects."
"The organization sent me to the factory this time to cooperate with the Zhuxian plan proposed by Comrade Han Li, and to optimize the final strike missile for actual combat."
Qian Wushi did not use a pseudonym similar to Qian Yi to hide his identity like his ancestor Qian Bingqiong.
After all, Qian Wushi's international reputation is much higher than that of Qian Bingqiong. Maybe Xu Yun has seen himself in the newspaper?
If Xu Yun really recognized himself.
So using a pseudonym would actually offend Xu Yun.
Secondly, Xu Yun, as the proposer of the Zhuxian project, also knew very well how powerful the missiles in the plan were.
The research and development of this kind of missile is obviously not something that ordinary weapons experts can handle. The person in charge of the Zhuxian Sword project must be a big boss - it just doesn't matter who it is.
Therefore, Qian Wushi communicated with the commander before departure.
Instead of using a pseudonym.
Why don't you just reveal your real name and be candid?
Of course.
Qian Bingqiong still uses the pseudonym Qian Yi, so he did not appear here with Qian Wushi today.
And opposite Qian Wushi.
Hearing Qian Wushi directly report his real name, Xu Yun reacted quickly after being slightly stunned:
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines and over 100 sounds. It is also a source-changing artifact that supports offline reading, huanyuanapp Source-changing App]
Yes.
With Master Qian’s current international reputation, it’s completely normal for you to know him, right?
After all, Qian Wushi was the former director of the Guggenheim Jet Propulsion Center. The German V2 missile, the originator of modern missiles, was developed using the results of Qian Wushi.
If we were to list a ranking of well-known Chinese scientists in the field of scientific research these days, Qian Wushi would definitely sit second and look first.
Think of this.
Xu Yun realized something...
seem......
Can I actually pursue stardom with peace of mind?
So after a while.
Xu Yun's voice suddenly rose a little higher, and he looked at Master Qian with a "surprised" expression:
"Master Qian? Could it be that... you are Mr. Qian, the founder of JPL Laboratory?"
Seeing Xu Yun reveal his background in one breath.
Qian Wushi first sighed in his heart at the leader's wisdom, and then said:
"That's right, it's me."
"But whether it's the founder of JPL or the colonel across the sea, this is all a thing of the past."
"Now Comrade Han Li, you can call me Director Qian, you can also call me Comrade Fifth Division, or Lao Qian - just call me whatever you get used to."
Qian Wushi's tone was as kind and mellow as his appearance... ahem, gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Xu Yun thought for a moment and said:
"Then I'll call you...Director Qian?"
"no problem."
Master Qian smiled cheerfully, looked around again, pointed to the pergola and said:
"Comrade Han Li, why don't we go into the pavilion and have a chat?"
Xu Yun raised his eyes and looked at Master Qian, many guesses flashed through his mind, and he happily agreed:
"no problem."
Upon seeing this, Mr. Wang on the side immediately waved to the many young workers and motioned them to return to work.
After a while.
Even Qiao Caihong recovered from the genetic lock and followed Lin Yu and the others to apply balloons.
Except for Xu Yun and Qian Wushi at the scene.
Only Lao Guo was left.
Then Master Qian personally pushed Xu Yun's wheelchair, and the three of them slowly walked into the pergola.
After taking a seat.
Lao Guo first picked up the tea cup that everyone had not drunk during the break, poured three glasses of water, and handed one of the cups to Master Qian:
"Senior brother, you've been in the car for so long. Come on, let's have a drink of water first."
"Thank you very much."
Master Qian said thank you to Lao Guo.
He took the tea cup, raised his head and drank most of the tea in one gulp.
"Cool!"
Then he wiped the corners of his mouth with his palm, put his other hand on his thigh, and said to Xu Yun:
"Comrade Han Li, we have already finished the pleasantries that need to be exchanged. Now let's talk about business."
"To tell you the truth, the purpose of my coming to Base 221 this time is to serve as the leader of the Zhuxian Sword Team in the Zhuxian Project, to calculate and optimize the appropriate trajectory."
"This task is quite serious, so I hope you can join the Zhuxian Sword Team as my assistant."
"ah?"
Hearing what Qian Wushi said, Xu Yun, who had prepared many responses, was suddenly startled:
"I join the Zhuxian Sword team? Is...is this appropriate?"
Xu Yun's surprise this time was really not fake.
Although as the proposer of the entire plan.
When Xu Yun came up with the plan, he guessed that he would probably join a certain project team and play a role similar to a consultant.
But when Xu Yun wanted to come.
The abilities he has shown before mainly lie in two aspects:
Fluid mechanics and electronic information fields.
Therefore, there is a high probability that he will join either the Immortal Killing Sword Team led by Mr. Wang, or the Immortal Trapping Sword Team led by Sun Junren.
For this reason, Xu Yun also designed a set of excuses, thinking that he could help the Immortal Sword Killing Team - after all, there were two acquaintances in the Immortal Killing Sword Team, Mr. Wang and Ge Tongyou.
The result was unexpected.
Master Qian actually offered to let him be an assistant to the Zhu Xian Sword team...that is, the team that designs ballistics?
True.
Mentioned before.
Xu Yun's knowledge field and missile research and development major are so different that they can even be regarded as two different worlds.
But after all, he is a descendant.
It's okay to start with data as long as someone provides the main direction.
But the problem is that Xu Yun has never revealed even a little bit of understanding about missiles before. Instead, he has talked a lot about the theory of ultra-wideband proximity fuzes.
In the end, it was Qian Wushi who chose him, which was a bit strange...
And opposite Xu Yun.
Looking at Xu Yun who looked surprised, Master Qian said again:
"Comrade Han Li, I can roughly guess what you are thinking - it is nothing more than worrying that your major is not suitable for you, right?"
"You can rest assured that the purely ballistic theoretical design will still be completed by me and other professional comrades."
"Your main task is to help me with calculations, and to see if there is any chance to generate some other inspirations."
"To use the terminology in Europe...as Party A, you can make any request, any colorful black will do."
"We will be Party B and strive to complete your design."
After hearing what Qian Wushi said, Xu Yun nodded with understanding.
This is not difficult...
have to say.
Master Qian's attitude is indeed very candid.
In addition, Xu Yun had an innate admiration filter for these seniors, so he finally decided to agree to Qian Wushi’s invitation:
"Since Director Qian's words are all about this, then I would rather obey his orders and shamelessly go work in the project team."
"Director Qian, please take care of me next time."
Qian Wushi thought it would take some time to convince Xu Yun, but he didn't expect Xu Yun to be captured so quickly.
Could it be that he is really like the chief said, willing to be a donkey and still say thank you?
Then he took a deep breath and extended his hand to Xu Yun again:
"Comrade Han Li, on behalf of all members of the 'Zhu Xian Sword' project team, I warmly welcome you to join us!"
Xu Yun also stretched out his bandaged fingertips and lightly touched Master Qian.
at the same time.
On the operating table not far away.
Watching the last signal mark exploding and falling in the air.
Liu Youcheng, who was responsible for the manufacture of the capsule, could not help but sigh with regret:
"Hey, it seems that the donkey's vaginal secretion is not as effective as the apical secretion. It's a pity..."
........
After all balloons burst or deflate.
Everyone's mission today can be regarded as temporarily coming to an end.
So everyone quickly packed up their equipment and went back to their homes one after another.
Early the next morning.
Staff hospital.
"GuluGulu——"
Watching Xu Yun "voluntarily" drink a bowl of donkey hair soup cleanly.
Qiao Caihong, who had been supervising the army, just turned his head and said to Qian Fifth Division who had just arrived at the scene:
"Director Qian, then I will leave Comrade Han Li to you. You must take good care of him."
"...Comrade Rainbow, don't worry."
Hearing Qiao Caihong repeat this sentence for the fifth time, Master Qian couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face:
"I will take Comrade Han Li away from the hospital for at least half a day. The project team's work location is also here at the main factory, and it is only less than 500 meters away from the hospital. What do you have to worry about?"
"Besides, if you are really afraid of something happening to Comrade Han Li, you can come to our project team with him."
Qiao Caihong shook his head quickly, with a clear look in his eyes that was not contaminated by knowledge:
"If you don't go, don't go. It's all in the president's head."
Master Qian:
"...."
Finally, under Qiao Caihong’s many instructions.
Master Qian was wiping cold sweat.
While pushing Xu Yun's wheelchair, he left the workers' hospital.
It's a pity that cameras are hard to find these days, otherwise Xu Yun would have had to take a photo at this time.
After all, no one has ever enjoyed the treatment of Qian Wushi pushing a wheelchair since the founding of the Republic...
After leaving the hospital.
Qian Wushi turned left and right for a while and finally came to a building.
This building is a small house with only one floor, but it occupies quite a large area.
There is also a small patch of grass and a few trees inside, surrounded by a row of fences.
If the cabin inside was replaced by another more luxurious modern building, it would be a small manor of the type of single-family villa.
At the entrance surrounded by a fence, two very capable soldiers on duty were standing. After seeing Qian Wushi, they immediately saluted:
"Hello, Chief!"
"Hello, comrades, thank you for your hard work."
Qian Wushi cordially greeted the soldiers on duty, and then introduced Xu Yun to them:
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Han Li, the assistant of our project team. He can be directly released regardless of his entry or exit in the future."
"In addition, if Comrade Han Li comes to see me for something, please report it immediately. If I am not here, I will go to Comrade Luo Shijun."
When the two soldiers on duty heard this, they immediately turned their heads and scanned Xu Yun carefully.
After clearly recording Xu Yun's figure and obvious features, they saluted again:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Report to the leader, remember!"
Master Qian nodded and led Xu Yun into the building.
This building has a standard office layout, which is the traditional [A] shape:
The four entrances of [A] are four rooms, with corridors running horizontally and vertically in the middle, and the entrance directly below.
This was also a common design approach for single-story office buildings in this era.
At this moment.
The innermost room on the left seems lively, and some discussions can be vaguely heard.
The other three rooms were quite quiet, with no sound coming from them.
I don’t know if it’s a request for silence or because no one is in there.
Then Qian Wushi led Xu Yun and turned to the left, heading straight to the only lively room.
As the distance gets closer.
Some discussions gradually became clearer:
"...Don't go to so much trouble, can't we just establish the system of simultaneous equations?"
"How to unite? The air resistance cannot always remain the same, right?"
"Let's make an approximation, otherwise how can we calculate it?"
"Is anyone going to watch a movie tomorrow? I heard that the cinema at the base will be showing "Kunlun Iron Cavalry"..."
"Mathematics is so difficult... The person who invented mathematics is so disgusting!"
"Sister Yuhan, how do you translate this word?"
"Oblique Shock wave...should it be an oblique shock wave?"
These exchanges came and went, and the chatter seemed very lively.
But the moment Qian Wushi appeared at the entrance of the house with Xu Yun.
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
Then, everyone stood up, whether they were lying on the table, sitting on the chairs, or half-sitting on the table.
Just listen to them say in unison:
"Hello, Director Qian!"
Master Qian nodded to everyone as a greeting and pushed Xu Yun's wheelchair into the house.
There were probably close to twenty people in the room, with a male-to-female ratio of about five to one. At first glance, they seemed to be mostly young people.
At this moment.
These people didn't pay much attention to Master Qian. Most of them were staring at the man in the wheelchair...
Xu Yun.
Xu Yun:
"..."
Do not know why.
He suddenly had some subtle resonance with Mr. Hawking...
The layout of this room is somewhat similar to the classrooms of later generations...to be precise, university classrooms:
There is a podium at the front. In front of the stage are several rows of long wooden tables, and behind the tables are independent movable wooden stools.
After a while.
Master Qian took Xu Yun to the podium.
Everyone in the audience sat back in their seats during this period.
"..."
After arriving at the podium.
Master Qian looked around the scene first, and then nodded slowly:
"Not bad, everyone is in good spirits. It seems that everyone slept well last night."
There was a burst of friendly laughter from the audience.
Then Master Qian took a deep breath, looked straight, and said:
"Comrades, quite a few of you are elites temporarily transferred from various departments of the 221 Base."
"Although I have seen your profiles several times, and I personally made the final selection decision, this is the first time I have met you in person."
"And this must be the same for you - the leaders of the project team and colleagues are from the capital or other departments. They are all strangers to you who have never met before."
"But it doesn't matter. We gathered here today not to make friends, let alone fall in love."
"We have only one goal, which is to sharpen the sharpest sword of killing immortals and severely chop off the heads of the U2 devils!"
Speaking of which.
Qian Wushi also spread his right hand flat and made a gesture in the air like slicing Louis XVI's head.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Then Qian Wushi paused and continued:
"Of course, because we are in a hurry to chop off U2's head, time is very precious, so I won't say any polite words."
"Let's get straight to the point now. Let's first introduce some of the configurations in our group so that everyone can get familiar with each other's respective functions."
"The first is the theoretical group of missile research. The leader of the theoretical group is Comrade Luo Shijun."
"The deputy team leader is Comrade Chai Zhi, and the team members are Xu Xinbo, Chen Huaijin, Shen Zhongfang, Wu Beisheng, and Liu Xuhui, a total of six people."
"Cough cough cough——"
Hearing these names coming out of Master Qian's mouth.
Xu Yun on the side suddenly couldn't hold it back and coughed heavily. The coughing sound was quite clear in the quiet room.
See this situation.
Qian Wushi couldn't help but stop talking and said to Xu Yun with concern:
"Comrade Han Li, are you okay?"
"..."
Xu Yun suppressed the surprise in his heart and shook his head gently:
"It's okay, it's okay, I couldn't take a deep breath, I just choked."
"Director Qian, please continue."
Say it.
Xu Yun complained crazily in his heart:
"#####!"
What kind of dream lineup is this?
The theory team Qian Wushi brought from the capital this time is actually all the ultimate bosses...
For example, Luo Shijun, who serves as the team leader.
This is a direct disciple of Qian Wushi, one of the founders of domestic aerodynamics, and an outstanding contributor to aerospace and missile research and development.
The designer of the famous J-20 fighter jet in later generations was named Yang Wei, and he was Luo Shijun's student.
And the deputy team leader Chai Zhi.
He is the former commander-in-chief of Julang No. 1 and Red Flag No. 7. In his previous life, he was the classmate of DF21 who delivered the baby.
Among the team members, Xu Xinbo is the chief designer of Hongqi No.1.
Chen Huaijin is the chief designer of Hongqi No.2.
Shen Zhongfang is the commander-in-chief of the third-generation mid-to-high-altitude long-range air defense missile model. It was this person who scored the U2 in history.
True.
If you conduct a Baidu search on these elders, you will find that none of them is an academician of the Academy of Engineering or the Academy of Sciences in later generations.
But the reason why they were not elected as academicians is not because they lack ability, but because they have just passed the declassification period in 2022...
For example, Mr. Shen Zhongfang.
He remained anonymous for 61 years, and it was not until he was 88 years old that his name was officially reported for the first time.
What is secret and great?
Answer is not a TV series played by a certain PC actor, nor is it the so-called hidden person in Bangzi.
But these seniors who have really made great contributions!
After a while.
Master Qian turned his attention to the right side of the room and introduced to everyone:
"In addition to the theoretical group, there is another very critical group, which is our calculation group."
"There are ten members in the calculation team, with Comrade Dai Xiuqi from the base's calculation center as the team leader, and Comrade Yao Yuhan, the calculation engineer from the 1st branch factory, as the deputy team leader."
Mention the computing group.
Qian Wushi did not introduce the full names of the team members.
After all, there are a lot of people in the calculation team, and Master Qian has never had contact with them before.
At this time, there is no need to force the introduction.
Anyway, after a few exchanges and getting used to it, everyone is almost familiar with it.
Then Qian Wushi introduced the third special group, which is the liaison group responsible for data exchange with the Capital Computer Center.
There are five members in the liaison team. They are proficient in the base's customized secret codes and are also a special team that is difficult to replace.
After introducing the three group members.
Master Qian took another deep breath and continued:
"As for the overall person in charge of the 'Zhu Xian Sword' project that integrates the three groups, I am Qian Wushi."
"You can call me Lao Qian, Comrade Fifth Division, or Director Qian."
"The other person I want to highlight is my assistant, the consultant of the 'Zhu Xian Sword' team, the person next to me..."
"Comrade Han Li."
Swish——
The words just fell.
Everyone's eyes were once again fixed on Xu Yun.
The members from the base are relatively easy to talk to.
After all, Xu Yun has now proven his strength and is somewhat famous among the base's theoretical staff.
Many researchers engaged in meteorology and electronic information even changed their situation and even their destiny because of Xu Yun's appearance.
Therefore, the "indigenous" people at the base looked at Xu Yun more like visiting a baby panda, with a curious and friendly attitude.
But the eyes of several elders who followed Qian Wushi from the capital subconsciously looked at him with some scrutiny.
Fortunately, Xu Yun experienced a similar baptism of gaze when the interest group was originally established.
As the saying goes.
Once alive, twice mature.
So at this moment, Xu Yun seemed rather calm.
He was even in the mood to wave to everyone in the audience and said in a hoarse voice:
"Hello everyone, my name is Han Li. Please take care of me next."
Bang bang bang——
Xu Yun's answer was a barely warm applause.
"...."
As an expert who has led research projects for a long time, Qian Wushi has considerable experience in controlling rhythm.
A few seconds after the applause fell.
Qian Wushi spoke again:
"Okay, comrades, our introductions will end here."
"The next thing we have to do is to officially launch the theoretical research on the 'Zhu Xian Sword'."
Say it.
Master Qian put his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly.
I saw a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes:
"The first problem to be solved is..."
"The missile...or what is the specific size of the artillery shell."
“Is an inch long an inch strong, or an inch short an inch dangerous?”
........
Note:
I feel that prices are getting more and more expensive now. The tea eggs downstairs that have not increased in price for ten years have increased by 50 cents. The fried dough sticks have also increased from 1.50 yuan to 2 yuan. The omelette has also increased a lot. At the beginning of the month, I paid 5 yuan.
The breakfast you can buy has risen to eight yuan today.
