Break out of the courtyard

"Xiao Nan, Xiao Nian, aren't you coming back to eat?"

Zhang Heping glanced around the dining table and saw that the seats for his second daughter Zhang Nan and third daughter Zhang Nian were empty, so he asked casually.

Tang Xin poured soup for Zhang Heping and said with a smile, "Someone invited Xiaonan to dinner, and Xiaonian went with him as a consultant."

Zhang Heping was still mostly focused on the space-based computing system. He was distracted by Tang Xin's words and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Having dinner with a boy?"

"Yeah!" Tang Xin responded. While Zhang Heping was drinking soup, she whispered about how they met that boy last time they went to Wucheng.

At that time, Zhang Heping went to Wucheng Shipping Company and did not go with Tang Xin, Chen Shuting and others, so he did not see the young man.

However, when Tang Xin mentioned the boy's father's name, Zhang Heping knew which family's second generation he was from. He casually said, "His father was promoted suddenly, and he doesn't have many resources behind him."

"I think it doesn't matter whether the man's family has resources or not!" Chen Shuting interjected, "As long as Xiaonan likes him, we can just put some effort behind the scenes."

Zhang Heping said calmly, "What if his father thinks the same way? Isn't that too utilitarian?"

"Actually..." Tang Xin hesitated for a moment, as if she was afraid that Zhang Heping would be unhappy. She said carefully, "Xiao Nan is a bit stubborn. If the boy's family needs our family, the boy should be more accommodating to Xiao Nan."

"Maybe in the early stages!" Zhang Heping analyzed as he picked up some food. "Once his father has used our family, it's hard to say whether he'll get promoted."

"In addition, a decision was issued in 85 prohibiting the children and spouses of cadres at the county and regiment level and above from engaging in business. Although the spouses of the children can engage in business, they are not allowed to conduct business activities in the area where the cadre serves."

"So, there's no need to focus on the second generation of officials or military officials. Just like them, have compatible personalities, and be less utilitarian." When Zhang Heping said this, he glanced at Zhang Bei, Zhang Feng, Zhang Long and others, and continued:

"As for connections, the only options available to you right now are your eldest aunt, second aunt, and cousin."

Ma Xiuzhen looked at her grandson and granddaughter and said seriously, "Listen to your father and choose someone you like. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and it's not good to make it too complicated."

Tang Xin thought about it and finally nodded in agreement with Zhang Heping's statement, saying that she would tell Zhang Nan and the others about this matter when she came back.

After dinner, Zhang Heping and his family went out for a walk. Not long after, the two girls, Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian, came back with their bodyguards.

Zhang Heping was discussing technical issues with several experts he met on the road, so he only glanced at Zhang Nan.

Ma Xiuzhen, Tang Xin and Chen Shuting were more concerned about Zhang Nan's boyfriend. As soon as they saw the two girls come back, they hurriedly asked them about their feelings towards the boy.

"You came back so early, didn't even see the movie, didn't even go to karaoke, there's definitely no hope!" The fourth girl Zhang Feng pointed out the ending without waiting for her two sisters to speak.

"Don't mention it!" Zhang Nian said indignantly: "That guy resigned and came to Shenzhen, wanting to do steel wholesale business here."

"If he does this, his father will be affected. Maybe one day he will be forced to step down as a second-line leader."

Zhang Nan's expression was a little indifferent, probably because his joy was for nothing.

After they talked for a while, Tang Xin repeated to the two girls what Zhang Heping had just said at the dinner table.

However, the more Zhang Heping thought about his children, the more Zhang Nan felt useless and unwilling.

After everyone left for a while, Zhang Nan saw that no one was around her father, so she went over and hugged her father Zhang Heping's left arm, asking in annoyance, "Dad, why don't you use us for marriage?"

"Just find a high-ranking official's son to marry us off, and I won't have to worry about finding a partner!"

Before Zhang Heping could say anything, his right arm was hugged by the third girl Zhang Nian, "Dad, I'm not worried. I want to find someone I like."

"Why do you have to find a second-generation official?" Zhang Heping laughed, "Have you ever thought about training a first-generation official in the future?"

“With the connections of your eldest and second aunts, plus the efforts of Elder Hua and his family to win over our family, as long as your children receive an education in China from a young age, their careers in politics and the military will be very smooth.”

"That's what I thought!" Zhang Nian said with a grin, "The mainland's decision to ban officials from engaging in business doesn't prohibit parents from being businessmen."

"Even if parents are businessmen and it affects their children's careers, the worst that can happen is that they can continue to train their grandchildren."

"With the longevity potion my father researched, it's possible for our family to live together for ten generations in the future. Why rush it now?"

"In addition, based on the management model of autonomous regions in mainland China, it is very likely that Hong Kong people will govern Hong Kong after its return."

"If Second Sister really values ​​officialdom that much, you can definitely go and work for the Hong Kong government. After Hong Kong Island returns to China, who knows, you might even become the female Governor!"

“That makes sense!” Zhang Heping turned to look at Sanya and said with a smile, “Old Hua and the others want to exchange our shares in Huifeng Bank, but they can’t come up with the money.”

"Why don't you use your own savings to buy some shares of HSBC Bank, and then ask Mr. Hua and the others to help you exchange them for shares of Ping An Insurance?"

Zhang Nian frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "They want shares in Huifeng Bank. Do they want to use it to pressure Dad to change the linked exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar?"

"That's the point!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "But don't worry about it. The Hong Kong dollar isn't a sovereign currency after all, and there's no telling how long it can be retained."

"Let my stepmother do the change!" Zhang Nian said with a smile, "I've been following the Shenzhen Stock Exchange recently. They're going to issue a batch of new shares in a few days, so I plan to try my luck."

The third daughter Zhang Nian was not interested, so Zhang Heping handed the stock swap matter over to his concubine Chen Shuting.

He previously proposed changing the Hong Kong dollar's linked exchange rate in order to weaken the international status of the magnesium dollar.

Even if the domestic government intervenes in Huifeng Bank, it will not have much impact, after all, Bank of China is also one of the issuers of Hong Kong dollars.

……

Peace Aerospace discussed with the Aerospace Corporation and finally decided to broadcast the successful recovery of the No. 8 Dragon Egg spacecraft on August 8, and then announce to the outside world that they plan to recruit partners for the Tiangong Space Station, the Guanghan Palace Base on the Moon, and the Yinghuo Base on Mars.

In fact, everyone knows that what those foreigners want to intervene in now is the mainland's space-based early warning system, including communication satellites, navigation satellites, and space cloud computers and space cloud servers that are about to be launched into space.

However, space-based early warning systems involve security issues, so how can they be shared with external parties?

As for Laomei, even though their GPS is so backward, they have not shared their technology with others.

The reason why Zhang Heping proposed the Tiangong space station, the Guanghan Palace base on the moon, and the Mars Yinghuo base plans is that they can be developed through external cooperation.

One is to test the bottom line of the Magnesium Country. After all, they are the only country that has successfully landed on the moon. Perhaps they can be encouraged to come up with some new technologies so that Zhang Heping can learn from them.

Furthermore, Zhang Heping is unable to determine whether the alien and UFO news that have been hotly discussed in recent years are true or false.

Because he had seen technology from his previous life in the underground base in Western Shu.

Plus, the "Jianmu" tree that is said to have the power to reach the sky seems to be on the side of the Mexicans!

As for Bureau 749 under Mr. Qian, there has been no news about it since he came to work at Shenzhen Peace College, and it is not known whether it has been abolished.

After several days of media publicity, the Dragon Egg Spacecraft Recovery Mission No. 1 has attracted a lot of attention.

Especially on the afternoon of August 7th, after all the plant experiments in the Shouyuan space capsule were completed, several monitoring screens from the Dragon Egg spacecraft were transmitted to the World Internet Forum and broadcast live. Then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the spherical robots in each space capsule, like ants carrying food, delivered packets of fruit and packaged green plants into the Dragon Egg spacecraft and secured them.

Before the Dragon Egg Spaceship closed its cabin, a joke happened.

The experimental monkey that was about to be brought back to the ground had lost a lot of weight and actually escaped from the space suit that was custom-made for it.

Then it was seen jumping up and down in the space capsule, fighting hundreds of rounds with robotic arms and spherical robots.

In the end, if it hadn't been exhausted, it might not have been possible to catch it.

Those who saw this scene through the live broadcast were all amused by the monkey.

That night, someone edited the live broadcast footage into a funny video and uploaded it to the Internet, naming it "Monkey Brother vs. Alien Spaceship."

Laughing is enough, but business must continue.

November 8, 8 a.m.

When most people in the mainland fell asleep, there were still many foreigners accompanying engineers from Peace Aerospace and Aerospace Corporation to pay attention to the official return of the No. 1 Dragon Egg spacecraft.

Thanks to the network support of the Pigeon Communication Satellite, although the live broadcast images of the interior and exterior of the No. 1 Dragon Egg Spacecraft have some delays, the picture quality is still very clear.

As the Dragon Egg No. 1 spacecraft fell into the atmosphere, people in many places took photos of it streaking across the sky like a meteor.

It was not until 10 o'clock in the morning that the spacecraft with the monkey screams successfully landed in the designated area in the northwest desert, and was then taken back to the Northwest Space Exploration Base by two rows of convoys.

At the same time, the live broadcast screen on the World Internet Forum went black.

Just when netizens from all over the world thought the live broadcast was over, a few lines of text appeared on the black screen, officially opening the road to international cooperation on the Tiangong Space Station, the Guanghan Palace Base on the Moon, and the Yinghuo Base on Mars.

In fact, space agencies in various countries are very excited that they cannot interfere with the mainland's space-based early warning system but can participate in their other space programs.

Even countries that originally did not have a space agency fabricated one and hurriedly sent their intention to cooperate to the mainland.

Their idea was simple: they would just find a few people to set up a space agency and then send them to the mainland to steal the technology.

However, what these countries applying to participate in space cooperation did not expect was that the initiator of the cooperation gave them a set of test papers with a total of 900 questions. Only if they answered questions correctly would they be eligible to send an expert team to participate in the cooperation.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t the end.

Peace Space, one of the initiators of the cooperation, also proposed that experts sent by various countries must be able to speak Mandarin and be able to communicate normally with mainland researchers!

Finally, there is a financial threshold.

The amount of investment determines the number of experts each country can send!

The three items of practicing questions, Mandarin and donating money eliminated many countries.

This saves a lot of trouble for those countries that have created fictitious space agencies.

On the evening of August 8, Zhang Heping received the experimental samples brought back by the spacecraft downstairs of the biological genetics laboratory building of Shenzhen Peace College.

That night, under the watchful eyes of a group of biological and genetic experts, Zhang Heping sorted all the experimental samples into different categories and placed them in the laboratory on the 5th floor. He then left a company of guards with live ammunition to guard the area.

The next morning, when new shares were being issued on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Zhang Heping came to the laboratory. He not only allowed the institute's biological genetic experts and assistants to observe, but also had someone set up a video recorder.

"Everyone, which creatures on Earth have the ability to regenerate?" Zhang Heping was actually looking at the camera when he said this.

But his question was clearly heard by the biological genetic experts and assistants outside the glass partition.

"The salamander! It can regenerate limbs, tails, hearts, and spinal cords!"

"Zebrafish can regenerate their hearts!"

"Octopus! Starfish! Planarian!"

As the answers came in, Zhang Heping smiled and announced the topic of today's experiment. "Next, I'm going to make a regeneration and repair fluid."

"The original intention of developing this medicine was to repair the broken arms and legs of disabled soldiers like my father."

"Later, because of the space program, we had to design a nutrient solution for hibernation chambers suitable for interstellar travel."

"Interstellar voyages are generally very long, and it's impossible to bring along all the specialists, let alone all the medicines."

"Plus, long-term dormancy cannot guarantee that the human body will not develop diseases such as tumors, so this nutrient solution must also have therapeutic functions."

"So, what kind of therapeutic function can prevent muscle atrophy during long-term hibernation and keep the brain active to a certain extent without causing brain death?"

"Guess what the first word that came to my mind was?"

After the question was raised, there was silence for a while outside the glass partition.

Finally, a young assistant tentatively asked, "Regeneration and repair fluid?"

"It's amniotic fluid!" Zhang Heping did not criticize the brainless young man outside, and continued to talk about his ideas and logic for developing the regenerative repair fluid!

The group of biological genetic experts and assistants outside were like a group of students, holding paper and pen and frantically writing down the key points that Zhang Heping said.

Of course, there were also smart young people who held up their mobile phones to record videos.

However, what these young people didn’t expect was that Zhang Heping would speak for a whole day, and the battery in their mobile phones was not enough.

Zhang Heping did not eat or drink, and continued to prepare the medicine for 8 hours. Finally, at dinner time, he prepared the so-called "regeneration and repair fluid"!
"Who of you wants to participate in the next animal experiment?" Zhang Heping stretched and walked straight towards the laboratory door without looking at the basin of freshly prepared light blue liquid on the laboratory table.

The experts and assistants who were sitting on the ground outside hurriedly stood up and made way for the elevator through the door.

Although everyone around wanted to participate in the subsequent animal experiments, everyone knew that the regeneration and repair fluid was not easy to prepare, so no one spoke up for a while.

"Teacher Zhang!" asked Mr. Qian, who had earned the position of vice president at Shenzhen Peace College. "Does the regeneration and repair fluid you just made need to be sealed?"

"No need!" Zhang Heping said casually, "Exposure to air will allow the regenerative bacteria inside to multiply more."

"You guys continue to discuss the subsequent animal experiments. I'm going back to eat."
