Break out of the courtyard

Zhang Heping returned home early in the morning and sat in the study. He didn't even go downstairs for lunch. He just had a bite of bread and drank a sip of chicken soup brought by his first wife.

He spent seven or eight hours delivering a USB drive to Mr. Hua before the doctors at Heping Hospital changed shifts in the afternoon.

The old man and the young man understood each other tacitly and neither of them mentioned the information in the cowhide bag.

Zhang Heping kept the information for future use.

Hua was unsure about the technological content of the document and worried that the Sanxingdui underground base had simply used a random document to cover up the issue, so he didn't mention the regeneration and repair fluid.

Furthermore, since Zhang Heping showed no particular expression after receiving the materials, Hua Lao was even more unsure of Zhang Heping's thoughts. Therefore, he decided to have someone take a look at the contents of the USB drive and assess its technical level before making any decisions.

The documents in the leather bag are top secret. Mr. Hua is not qualified to see them now, let alone give them to others for evaluation.

Although the information provided by Zhang Heping could also be classified as top secret, it fell under Hua Lao's jurisdiction, and he had the final say until it was handed over.

The key point is that the person he is looking for is Vice President Qian, who previously had authority over the Sanxingdui underground base. Although he has lost it now, it does not stop him from having a group of disciples there.

"Mr. Hua, where did you get this information?" Mr. Qian had only glanced at a little bit of the information on the computer when he leaned forward to examine it closely.

"It was given to me by Consultant Zhang!" Old Hua didn't hide anything and explained the background of the documents in the brown paper bag.

After listening to Hua's story, Qian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"What do you think of this information?" Old Hua urged before Vice Dean Qian could finish reading it.

"Consultant Zhang definitely didn't like the information they sent over there!" Elder Qian said slowly, "On the contrary, the information Consultant Zhang sent over will at least speed up their research progress by five years."

Upon hearing this, Elder Hua frowned.

According to what Mr. Qian said, the information in the cowhide bag definitely cannot be used to replace the relevant technology of the regeneration repair fluid.

"Hehe!" Old Qian took off his glasses and suddenly laughed out loud, "Advisor Zhang is really willful!"

"What's wrong?" Old Hua leaned closer, looking at the complex blueprints and renderings on the computer.

Although he couldn't understand it, he still felt that the device in the picture was very technological.

"Because his superiors didn't give him permission, he hid the key data!" Elder Qian pointed to the blank spaces between some text and said, "Based on the current information, the controlled nuclear fusion technology mastered by Consultant Zhang is likely to be commercially viable."

"I just don't know why he didn't take it out, but instead wasted money on building a half-finished product over on the Dapeng Peninsula."

……

After Zhang Heping finished his rounds, he finally agreed to discharge Mr. Zhang from the hospital.

Although these veterans have been disabled for many years, they were not born with disabilities. Therefore, after their hands and feet recovered, rehabilitation training was carried out very quickly, and they became familiar with their newly recovered limbs in just a few days.

However, the effect of the regeneration and repair fluid has not yet worn off, so they still need to come for regular checkups to prevent abnormal growth in the body.

After these veterans have finished their review, they will go back to their homes and be replaced by other disabled veterans to cooperate with the mechanical limb experiments in the underground base.

Those mechanical limbs may not necessarily be used on the battlefield. The reason for continuing research is mainly to iterate and upgrade the robots, accumulate biological training data, and make the robots behave more like humans.

After Old Zhang was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Heping had more free time.

He learned about the progress of the space cooperation organized by the Aerospace Group and learned that the Magnesium people wanted to use their aerospace technology as a bargaining chip to join all projects involved in the Peace Space Company, so he decided to start the lunar and Mars exploration program first.

Of course, the plans for the Tiangong Space Station, the Guanghan Palace Base on the Moon, and the Yinghuo Base on Mars were not left behind. Zhang Heping notified the Aerospace Group to gather foreign experts who had already joined the cooperation and rush to the Northwest Space Exploration Base to jointly promote these three major space plans.

So, for the next two weeks, Zhang Heping basically ran back and forth between the two places.

After checking the rooms in the morning and checking the experiments in the biological genetic laboratory building, I took a bus to Dapeng Peninsula to guide the manufacturing of exploratory satellites and relay satellites.

Come back in the afternoon to check on the progress of the experiments in the laboratory building.

During this period, Hua Lao personally made a trip to the capital and obtained two more detailed top-secret documents for Zhang Heping.

One is the brain-computer research on the Ruomu sacred tree, and the other is the principle of magnetic field controlling the flight of artificial sun.

Zhang Heping had no interest in the second set of information because his magnetic skills were not low, but he just didn't take the time to study it in depth.

However, the skill of "Ruomu Brain-Computer Principle" listed in the first document will be of great help to Zhang Heping in making dream games and related equipment in the future.

Combined with the piece of golden mask fragment that Zhao Laoliu secretly gave him before, the "brain wave converter maintenance" skill that was displayed, as well as Ruomu's brain maintenance and dream construction skills.

Zhang Heping felt that if he was given more time, he would be able to fulfill the promise he had made to his fifth and sixth sons about the virtual dream game.

Seeing Zhang Heping put the documents into the leather bag, Hua Lao asked with a smile, "Heping, what do you think of these documents?"

"It will be helpful for the research on biological brain computers in our underground base." Zhang Heping nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

Then, he talked about what Hua Lao was most concerned about: "Mass production of regeneration and repair fluid is not a problem, the main issue is how to control it and prevent it from being discharged into nature at will."

"Of course, the most crucial thing is that we absolutely cannot allow those biochemical research labs at Japan, Europe, and Magnesium to obtain the regeneration bacteria concentrate. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhang Heping said, raising the leather bag in his hand. "For specific production, sales, and management matters, please talk to the experts in the laboratory. I'll go back and study the information."

"Peace!" Old Hua hurriedly grabbed Zhang Heping, "How much of the shares do you think is appropriate for the Peace Group?"

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "Just like the previous medicines, Tingmei Trading has the priority export rights if you agree to export."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping turned and left, then lifted up the cowhide bag and shook it.

In an effort to lower domestic drug prices and reduce treatment costs, Zhang Heping previously provided Hua Lao with numerous prescriptions and blueprints for medical equipment free of charge, ultimately only requesting a priority export right.

When Hua Lao heard Zhang Heping treat the regeneration and repair fluid as an ordinary medicine, he knew that Zhang wanted to reduce the cost of treatment with the regeneration and repair fluid, rather than making it an expensive drug that ordinary people could not afford.

As for Mr. Hua's question about the shares, it's because he had the idea of ​​setting up a joint venture factory.

This time he went to the capital to ask for information, and he knocked on many people's desks before finally getting two copies of information for Zhang Heping.

This experience made him very angry.

So, on his way back, he made a decision to keep the regeneration and repair fluid under the control of his own department, just like the 120-year lifespan potion.

With Zhang Heping asking for only a negligible priority export right instead of shares, Hua Lao became even more determined to make this decision: they could no longer be controlled by others and mistreat their own people!

However, when he personally inquired about the regeneration and repair fluid, he found that Zhang Heping was not exaggerating.

Biological experts conducted an experiment using a glass pool water sample randomly taken from an artificial lake and dropped a 50 ml bottle of regeneration and repair fluid into it.

In less than a week, many strange creatures appeared in this glass pool, such as a small fish with one foot, a small group of unknown organisms, a centipede water spider with a hairy body, and some mutated microorganisms and plants.

Therefore, the group of biological experts, personally reviewed by Professor Hua and recruited one by one, all stated that the current regeneration and repair solution is not yet suitable for commercial use.

Even if it is necessary to use it, the used treatment fluid must be recovered and sterilized and cleaned uniformly, just like in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials.

After Hua Laojiang informed the capital authorities about the situation, the capital authorities dispatched two biological experts from the research institute to accompany the inspection team to Shenzhen to discuss the production and control of the regeneration and repair fluid.

They wanted Zhang Heping to attend the meeting, but Zhang Heping refused on the grounds that he was too busy and asked them to ask the group of biological experts in the laboratory.

On the Dapeng Peninsula, with the launch of four exploration satellites and five relay satellites, Peace Space's space program has received comprehensive coverage. Two exploration satellites are heading to lunar orbit, two are heading to Mars, and five relay satellites are ensuring communication between Earth, the Moon, and Mars.

Following closely behind are the lunar and Mars landing plans.

In response to Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation's call, Zhang Heping sent his two sons, Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, to Dapeng Peninsula to assist in the acceptance inspection of the lunar rover and Mars rover.

The main reason he went to Shaanxi this time was because another Boeing passenger plane fell and the crash site was in Yangcheng in the inland area!

As soon as this incident happened, all domestic plans to purchase Boeing aircraft were suspended!

The large passenger aircraft at Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation was still undergoing test flights, so Zhang Heping was called over mainly to have him evaluate whether such a large passenger aircraft could be mass-produced now.

Leaving Shenzhen with Zhang Heping were Ma Xiuzhen and Zhang Bing, as well as two of Zhang's comrades-in-arms and their families. They returned to the capital.

Old Zhang had wanted to return to the capital several months ago because Zhang Cuishan and Lou Xiao'e were getting married and sent the invitation to Zhang Zhaodi.

Old Zhang did not attend the banquet because of the important matter of regenerating his broken leg. In the end, Zhang Zhaodi went to the banquet alone. The venue was the Loujia Restaurant in Qianmen.

Zhang Zhaodi only told Lao Zhang about this matter, and also asked Lao Zhang not to tell Zhang Heping.

Therefore, Ma Xiuzhen, who came back with Lao Zhang, did not know about Zhang Cuishan and Lou Xiaoe.

The result was that when Zhang Bing returned to his home on the north bank of Houhai Lake in the capital, everyone was surprised that Zhang Bing had grown a new foot, but Ma Xiuzhen was surprised that Lou Xiao'e, who had been well-maintained, could marry the old man Zhang Cuishan.

However, on the morning of the third day after returning, when Xu Damao followed Lou Xiaoe to visit the Zhang family, Ma Xiuzhen felt a little annoyed!
Lou Xiao'e first married Xu Damao, and later had an illegitimate son, Zhang Xin, with Zhang Cuishan. Later, she had an affair with He Yuzhu and gave birth to He Xiao.

He Xiao has now changed his surname to Zhang Xiao. Ma Xiuzhen doesn't say anything about this, and she doesn't bother to care how many men Lou Xiao'e had with when she was in Hong Kong Island.

But, she should never, ever get involved with that bad guy Xu Damao again, and she shouldn't bring him here to annoy others!
Doesn’t Lou Xiao’e know that the person who reported their Lou family was Xu Damao?
"Take your things away!" Ma Xiuzhen, who was chatting about Shenzhen at the door, immediately frowned. "You are not welcome here!"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned. When she brought Zhang Xin and Zhang Xiao to visit Zhang Bing yesterday, Ma Xiuzhen did not have this attitude.

However, she quickly guessed what Ma Xiuzhen was thinking from the cold look she gave Xu Damao. She probably disliked the unclear relationship between her and her ex-husband.

However, Lou Xiao'e had no choice. She had promised Xu Damao that if he helped her find Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Xin, she would help Xu Damao improve the relationship between him and the Zhang family.

"Third aunt..."

"Who is your Third Aunt?" Before Lou Xiao'e could finish, Ma Xiuzhen put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Hurry up and take your mistress away! Don't pollute my eyes!"

When the dozen or so middle-aged women around saw this, their first reaction was to listen to gossip, but some of them were smart and immediately agreed and helped to chase the person away.

These aunties usually have nothing to do, so they like to gossip.

When an old lady recognized Lou Xiao'e, all the rumors about her, whether true or false, were exposed on the spot, and they were so ugly!
For this reason, Xu Damao couldn't help but pull Lou Xiaoe, wanting her to leave first and come back to explain another day.

As a result, this pull brought out a bunch of obscene words...

Lou Xiao'e didn't expect Ma Xiuzhen to react so strongly, and she didn't expect that the old ladies around her would frame her with some unfounded things in order to curry favor with the Zhang family.

The key point is that Xu Damao pulled her arm, which aroused more suspicion.

"Aunt San, I'll come back another day to explain to you!" Lou Xiao'e pretended to be calm and said this to Ma Xiuzhen. She also glanced at Zhang Bing who had just walked out of the shoe store. Seeing that they were indifferent, she turned around and left unwillingly.

Zhang Bing came out to check after hearing the noise outside.

When he saw Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao standing together, his thoughts were similar to Ma Xiuzhen's, and he felt that there was a problem between Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao.

In addition, Zhang Xin came over yesterday and said that his father Zhang Cuishan came back to attend a wedding, but he only stayed for two days before returning to the northwest.

The man was not at home, and the woman had slept with several men before.

She came here with her ex-husband today. Even though Zhang Bing didn't want to think about it that way for the sake of his nephew Zhang Xin, he couldn't stop the gossip.

After Lou Xiao'e left, Zhang Bing said something to Ma Xiuzhen and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Following the address Zhang Xin gave him yesterday, Zhang Bing searched all the way and finally found the book rental shop opened by Zhang Xin in an alley in Dongcheng.

This shop was converted from a back house. It doesn't face the street and doesn't have much traffic.

Zhang Bing looked at the shop and the courtyard gate at the door. Zhang Xin in the bookstore was reading a novel by himself and didn't notice who was standing outside the door at all.

It was not until Zhang Bing walked into the dim bookstore and walked around Zhang Xin into the yard that Zhang Xin realized that Zhang Bing had arrived.

There was originally a second courtyard behind the back house. When Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Xin bought it, the front yard and the back yard were separated by bricks and stones.

In the end, Zhang Cuishan bought this so-called courtyard at a high price of 35,000.

"Third Uncle, how come you have time to come here!" Zhang Xin has been beaten by society for many years, and with Lou Xiaoe's brainwashing, this guy has deeply realized how powerful Zhang Heping's family is.

"Be careful, the floor is slippery!" Zhang Xin held Zhang Bing's right arm in a servile manner. "I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't clean the snow in the yard."

"When will your father come back?" Zhang Bing didn't want to say bad things about his mother in front of Zhang Xin.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the next two years!" Zhang Xin shook his head. "I heard that many foreigners have gone to the northwest, and Uncle Ping is about to start his space program there."

"Ask your dad if he wants to go back to the capital to work!" Zhang Bing frowned and said, "He's not young anymore. Why would he go to the northwest to join in the fun?"

Zhang Xin's eyes lit up, but thinking of Zhang Heping's attitude towards their family and the salary level in the capital, he suppressed his hope and asked, "Third Uncle, my dad's monthly salary in the northwest has increased to 1400 yuan. I'm afraid you won't be able to find such a high salary in the capital."

Zhang Bing's expression froze. Although he opened a shoe store and had a good monthly income, he couldn't even cross the 1 yuan threshold.

There was no way he, Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandyi could help him find a high-paying job for Zhang Cuishan in the capital.

Although Zhang Heping is capable, given his personality, tolerating Zhang Cuishan working in the northwest is probably his limit.

Zhang Bing felt that if he dared to say anything more about this matter and let Zhang Heping think that Zhang Cuishan was getting too aggressive, Zhang Heping would fire Zhang Cuishan without hesitation.

"You ask first!" Zhang Bing was stubborn and turned to walk towards the bookstore.

Zhang Xin didn't know what Zhang Bing was thinking. He thought Zhang Bing could do it, so he said with a smile, "Third Grandpa, if you ever find a leisurely, high-paying job, don't forget me, your nephew!"

Leisurely!

High salary!
Hearing these two words, Zhang Bing suddenly felt a little regretful.

But as Zhang Xin said, Zhang Cuishan is his nephew and Zhang Xin is his great-nephew.

When he went to aid Korea, he left his wife and children in his hometown and asked his mother and elder brother to take care of them. They did not delay at all.

Thinking of the people and things in the past, Zhang Bing suddenly wanted to go back to his hometown.

I want to light some incense and burn some paper with my parents, and tell them about his growing right leg and the great things their grandson is doing.

Perhaps Old Zhang didn't even realize that he wanted to use the matter of returning to his hometown to divert attention from his previous plan to get Zhang Cuishan to come back to work.

He stayed in Shenzhen for a few months and witnessed Zhang Heping working hard from dawn till dusk to do research and contribute to the country. Even Professor Hua and other senior experts treated him and his son with great respect. He really didn't want to bother his son with these trivial matters.

"Go back now, you go about your business!" Zhang Bing raised his right hand to wave Zhang Xin away, as if he had come to a realization, and quickly walked out of the alley. (End of this chapter)
