In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 118: Class Leader, Please Respect Yourself During the New Year, Women's Friends of the Nation

"Principal, I think we still have to report to our superiors. After all, the school is under the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building... We can still talk about air-to-air missiles with the aerospace system, but unmanned target drones..."

Lai Guichang, who had been silent, reminded Li Rui that it would be troublesome if the department was not happy.

Previously, the deputy minister visited the school and promised 1200 million yuan in funding, but so far not a penny has been received.

At least I have to get the money before I can do these things.

"No, this is different from before... This missile test has alarmed the top brass. They are also eager for our technology to be better. Automatic control, which unit needs it more than the aerospace industry?"

Li Rui looked relaxed.

Unmanned target drones require more advanced automatic control technology.

This technology is exactly what is needed in the aerospace industry.

"It would save a lot of trouble if Xie Wei were to do it."

Yu Guofeng instantly understood what Li Rui meant.

The improvement of Changkong-1 target drone requires the unit that develops Changjiang-1, which is more suitable than a school.

The Air Force asked the school to carry out this project, probably to allow the school to use its strong majors such as chip technology and automated control to provide technical support for the Changkong-1 performance improvement project.

Rather than being led by the school.

The school simply does not have enough manpower to devote to this.

200 million in funding is a lot.

However, the research on automatic control technology of drones can only be considered a drop in the bucket.

Xie Wei is just a student, and he does not have to take any responsibility even if the final result does not meet the above expectations.

Better results will give Xie Wei a better future.

Li Rui is now thinking carefully about Xie Wei's future.

"No one knows how far Factory 14 will develop. Some units have already noticed the importance of chips, otherwise they wouldn't want to use the transfer of Xie Wei to snatch Factory 14 or even the chip project from the school..."

Li Rui supplemented the two of them.

He told Yuan Zhenyue to shut up because he didn't want more people to know.

This does not include the core management of the school.

"Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble?"

Lai Guichang frowned.

He got no answer.

But I knew the answer from their silence.

He did not continue discussing the topic, but asked, "Will the army send someone?"

"The military representative will be here in two days. We have to wait for the military leaders to hold a meeting to discuss the specific procedures. The school cannot interfere in this matter and can only cooperate."

The two nodded repeatedly.

The best option at the moment is for someone from the military representative office to come forward and for Xie Wei to be in charge.

The only thing that worries people is that Xie Wei is too young.

"Young people who were able to get into college in the past two years and have many years of work experience before that cannot be judged simply by age. Okay, it's the New Year, go back early."

Li Rui had no worries at all about Xie Wei.

Xie Wei has not yet come into contact with the school's core projects, but the technology he has developed can support the school's core projects and promote the rapid development of the core projects.

In other units, it is difficult to let young people like Xie Wei lead projects.

The school does not exist.

There is no need to consider whether Xie Wei’s qualifications are suitable. After all, school is a place to cultivate talents.

After coming out of Li Rui's office, Xie Wei did not rush to Du Guowang's house, but returned to the dormitory.

"Leaving now?"

Xie Wei was surprised to see that Tang Long's bed was empty.

There were no signs before.

He knew very well that after he proposed the idea, Kang Yi, Liang Hongbin and others had been conducting tests together with relevant school personnel, and had been experimenting and demonstrating the fuel formula with the addition of aluminum chloride.

Xie Wei was not surprised by Tang Long's departure.

I just didn’t expect it to happen during the Chinese New Year.

No one knew where his roommates had gone, so Xie Wei packed up and went to Du Guowang's house.

Xie Rou entered her menstrual period and her parents were not around. Although Liang Hongling and Du Guowang were very kind to Xie Rou, they were both busy and probably had no time to pay attention to her.

Otherwise, Xie Rou wouldn't have felt that she was going to die before.

"What are you doing? Do you have to wash it today?"

When Xie Wei arrived, he saw Xie Rou squatting in the yard washing something.

With the temperature at minus twenty degrees Celsius, even hot water would quickly lose its temperature outside.

Xie Rou's hands were red from the cold.

How could Xie Rou have ever done these things at home before?

"Brother, I'll wash it myself..."

Xie Wei wanted to go forward to help, but Xie Rou, blushing, hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, go into the house first..."

"What? Are you being polite to me now?"

Xie Wei was puzzled. Xie Rou had been lazy since she was a child, and she never did anything at home.

After coming here, she often wanted Xie Wei to wash even her underwear. At this moment, Xie Wei didn't know what the belt-like thing in her hand was, and offered to help her, but Xie Rou refused!
"Brother, those are girls' personal belongings..."

"what!"

Xie Rou's rolling eyes made Xie Wei feel embarrassed.

Personal belongings!

Normally this girl was carefree, and after growing up, she was not willing to talk about her personal privacy with Xie Wei. Xie Wei naturally didn't know how to open his mouth, and immediately went to the kitchen to see what dishes were available.

During the New Year holidays, there are a lot of ingredients in Du Guowang's kitchen.

Although I can’t cook many dishes, it’s still no problem to simply stew a chicken or something.

After Xie Rou finished washing, she did not rush back to study. Xie Wei took the opportunity to ask Xie Rou, and then he realized that there are too many inconveniences for girls to have their menstrual period.

Sanitary belts are not disposable items at all.

At around eight o'clock, when Xie Wei returned to the dormitory, Zhang Jingyan and others also returned.

Xie Wei learned from them that Tang Long was picked up by Jeep 212 in the morning. Knowing what Tang Long was going to do, he did not ask much but chatted with them casually.

I was thinking about how to make sanitary napkins.

Early the next morning, the temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero was not suitable for outdoor activities. After several minutes of ideological struggle, Xie Wei finally did not go out for a run.

I arrived at the classroom early in the morning with a few people from the dormitory, ready to ask Mo Lingyu for help.

The classroom was almost half empty.

The three girls in Mo Lingyu's class were all there. When Xie Wei arrived, they were already memorizing words.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the study and life in the experimental class was no different from usual.

"Squad leader, where did you go during the New Year? Why haven't I seen you these past few days? Tang Long was picked up yesterday, did you know that?"

Mo Lingyu asked Xie Wei in a low voice.

"I went out to do something with the school teacher. Why?"

Xie Wei couldn't tell Mo Lingyu what he was doing, and didn't understand what Mo Lingyu meant by mentioning Tang Long's whereabouts.

"Will we be picked up later too?"

Mo Lingyu's low voice revealed anticipation and excitement.

That look made Xie Wei feel embarrassed.

The two of them were very close to each other, and many classmates in the class looked at them from time to time, which made Xie Wei feel the urge to escape.

This woman must know something.

"Squad leader, please tell me about it. Others may not know, but you definitely know it."

"Do you want to be picked up, or do you not?"

Xie Wei didn't understand Mo Lingyu's thoughts. She was a communications soldier before, so it was impossible for her not to understand the confidentiality code.

"You definitely want to be picked up!"

Mo Lingyu rolled his eyes, suppressed his wits, and whispered, "Being picked up means I can make a greater contribution to national defense. I don't even know what major I should study now!"

"..."

What major are you studying?
Xie Wei himself doesn't know.

The purpose of the experimental class is clear: to allow students to choose the major they are interested in by exposing them to various projects.

Interest is the best teacher.

Xie Wei felt that he could no longer discuss this topic with Mo Lingyu.

Knowing that Mo Lingyu would not tell anyone, I had to keep my mouth shut.

"By the way, Mo Lingyu, can you tell me about the current situation of personal hygiene products used by girls during menstruation?"

"what?"

Mo Lingyu widened her eyes and looked at Xie Wei in disbelief, her blush instantly creeping up to her ears.

He immediately became angry, "Squad Leader, why are you asking this question again!"

This time she didn't say that Xie Wei was a hooligan.

Xie Wei had mentioned this issue a few days ago and she had expressed her dissatisfaction.

I didn't expect Xie Wei to bring it up again.

"I'm not being a hooligan, I just think sanitary belts are too inconvenient and unhygienic... Yesterday evening, Xie Rou washed her sanitary belt and her hands were frozen red. During menstruation, touching ice water can easily cause illness..."

Xie Wei hurried to explain.

Xie Wei was surprised to see Xie Rou washing sanitary belts yesterday.

He had always thought that these days girls don't use sanitary napkins during their periods, but sanitary belts!
A bag that needs to be washed and used repeatedly...

That's not hygienic at all.

After Xie Rou’s explanation last night, Xie Wei realized that there were currently no sanitary napkins on the domestic market.

The production process of sanitary napkins is not complicated and the market prospects are great, so it can be used as a source of profit for school-enterprise cooperation.

It would definitely not work if Xie Wei proposed it himself.

Suspected of being a hooligan.

After thinking about it all night, I felt that only through Mo Lingyu could I develop sanitary napkins, which would not only be convenient for women but also bring profits.

After hearing Xie Wei's explanation, Mo Lingyu, with a flushed face, stared at Xie Wei with wide eyes.

"how?"

Xie Wei suppressed his embarrassment.

Decades later, it is still unacceptable for a man to discuss such topics with a woman.

"Squad leader, I think you are abnormal!"

Mo Lingyu looked at Xie Wei with a gloomy expression, and his voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Really.

Xie Wei is abnormal!
He actually brought up such an embarrassing topic to discuss with me!
I am an unmarried young woman!
Even with your lover, it is not appropriate to discuss this topic, not to mention that Xie Wei and you are not even a couple, but just classmates.

"How is it abnormal? Think about it, how convenient it would be if it was thrown away after use? At least in the cold winter, women don't have to wash sanitary belts in freezing water. Even if they have been washed, who can guarantee that they are really hygienic?"

Xie Wei turned his head and looked around, afraid that his classmates would hear him.

He thought Mo Lingyu would not react so strongly.

"..."

Mo Lingyu looked at Xie Wei, not knowing whether he was deliberately talking to her about such an embarrassing topic or whether he really felt sorry for Xie Rou.

“I want to study!”

She didn't want to talk about this with Xie Wei.

Although, she was also looking forward to the kind of things that Xie Wei said could be discarded after use.

But for a man to talk about this with an unmarried young woman like her... Even Mo Lingyu, who is usually carefree, couldn't accept it.

"Don't worry! I'm serious! I think we can develop a product like this..."

"Squad leader! Please respect yourself!"

Mo Lingyu gritted his teeth and looked at Xie Wei, his face, which was covered with blush, was now covered with frost!
The sound suddenly became louder.

All the people in the class who were studying immediately cast their eyes on the two of them.

"..."

Xie Wei was instantly extremely embarrassed.

Seeing the angry Mo Lingyu, he stood up, packed up his things, changed his seat, and distanced himself from Xie Wei; the classmate's eyes kept looking back and forth between himself and Mo Lingyu.

Even though his face was as thick as a city wall, Xie Wei was still embarrassed.

There’s no way to explain it!

This kind of topic cannot be brought up for public discussion.

"Did the couple have a fight?"

Yao Xinwei, who was not far from the two of them, whispered in Mo Lingyu's ear when he saw Xie Wei come in. Mo Lingyu's face quickly turned red, and he no longer had the mind to study.

Yao Xinwei likes Mo Lingyu.

From Mo Lingyu's attitude towards Xie Wei, Yao Xinwei knew that he had no chance at all.

There is no way I can compare with a squad leader who is smarter and works harder than me!
But Xie Wei never showed any interest in Mo Lingyu, which made Yao Xinwei hope that the two of them would not be together, and that he would have a chance...

"You don't even stand a chance in an argument!"

Feng Ke said this coldly without even raising his head.

"What chance do I need? I'm just curious about what Sixth Brother said to Mo Lingyu."

Yao Xinwei hastily defended himself, and he felt as if he was in an endless space. He hastily added, "When Sixth Brother came into the classroom before, our deputy monitor wanted to hang on him. She never felt that she should respect herself, and now she wants Sixth Brother to respect herself... Sixth Brother's hands have been on the table, and he didn't do anything..."

"..."

Zhang Jingyan and Li Chuangxin, who were standing next to them, stared at Yao Xinwei, whose face was full of gossip.

This guy is not normal!
It seemed that since Xie Wei entered the classroom, his eyes were on the two of them?
The other students were also confused, but they just looked at the two of them. They had no thoughts about Yao Xinwei at all and continued to study silently.

The monitor and deputy monitor are smarter and more hardworking than them!

Even if they study a little less, there is no possibility that they will fall behind.

After scolding Xie Wei, Mo Lingyu immediately regretted it.

Xie Wei's topic was embarrassing, but if I scolded him in front of so many classmates, it would be embarrassing for him.

Everyone in the class knows that I have a crush on Xie Wei.

She doesn't mind her classmates knowing about it.

Even two of the other three girls in the class who were not married, as well as students from other professional classes, were eyeing Xie Wei, and Mo Lingyu was also aware of this.

Isn't this sending Xie Wei to the competitor?

But that topic is really embarrassing...

The more Mo Lingyu thought about it, the more conflicted he became, and he had no intention of continuing studying.

Seeing Xie Wei as if nothing had happened, with his head buried in the desk calculating something, Mo Lingyu became even more furious.

I simply packed up my textbooks and materials and went back to the dormitory.

When Sister Wei saw her leave, she looked at Xie Wei who was fine, sighed silently, and hurriedly got up to follow Mo Lingyu out.

"Xiao Mo, what did the monitor say to you that made you so angry?"

In the corridor outside the classroom, Sister Wei grabbed Mo Lingyu and said, "Don't you like him? You will push him to someone else..."

Sister Wei is very old in the class and she was admitted to university after she had a child.

Even during the Chinese New Year, I couldn't go back.

Xie Wei gave Sister Wei a place as soon as there was a project in the class and has always taken good care of Sister Wei.

Later, Sister Wei felt that chemistry was not suitable for her, so she asked Xie Wei to help her transfer to the computer project. She also felt that she owed Xie Wei a big favor.

In Sister Wei's opinion, Xie Wei and Mo Lingyu are a perfect match.

They are both very smart. When they grow up and have a child, they might become even smarter...

"Sister Wei, he can't bully me just because I like him!"

Mo Lingyu, who was already conflicted, almost cried when she heard what Sister Wei said.

"Why did he bully you?"

Sister Wei looked at Mo Lingyu in surprise.

The sun rises from the west?
Normally, Mo Lingyu hoped that Xie Wei would take advantage of her, and she would do her utmost to create opportunities for Xie Wei to bully her. It was completely obvious to the whole class, and everyone knew it.

Many times, people complained that Xie Wei was just a blockhead.

Saying this now?

"he……"

Mo Lingyu was about to say that Xie Wei had talked to him about embarrassing things, but when he realized that it would not be good for Xie Wei if it got out, he shut up immediately.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Sister Wei. Although some things that happened before are in the past, many of the things that Mo Lingyu experienced are still fresh in her memory.

"what happened?"

"nothing!"

Mo Lingyu shook his head and didn't say anything.

Sister Wei looked at Mo Lingyu's changing expression and sighed in her heart.

She understood Mo Lingyu's vigilance. If it would bring a bad influence to Xie Wei, she would not tell it either.

"The monitor has always been thinking about everyone in the class, except himself. Although I don't know what he said to make you so angry... You said this loudly in the classroom and walked away. What do you think your classmates would think?"

Sister Wei didn't know what Xie Wei said that made Mo Lingyu react so excitedly. From Mo Lingyu's usual complaints about Xie Wei being like a wooden lump and Xie Wei always keeping an absolute distance from girls, she knew there must be a misunderstanding.

"..."

Sister Wei’s words left Mo Lingyu stunned.

When I think about it carefully, it seems that my behavior will really cause misunderstanding among my classmates.

"Sister Wei, thank you. Maybe I was thinking about something else...Xie Rou had her first period a few days ago..."

"..."

After hearing this, Sister Wei's expression became strange.

No wonder Mo Lingyu reacted so strongly. If it were me, I would do the same.

Women’s privacy is something they will never discuss with their lovers even if they are married.

So shameful!

Mo Lingyu's suggestion about Xie Wei made Sister Wei's mind become eager, "Xiao Mo, do you think the monitor wants to make a disposable sanitary product?"

"Yup!"

Mo Lingyu nodded, then looked at Sister Wei warily.

Sister Wei’s reaction is wrong!
"He really loves his sister! I don't think he doesn't respect himself. The reason I asked you is that he is a boy and is not suitable for this kind of thing... How about we let the squad leader talk about the specific ideas and help to come up with it? In this way, we can save time washing sanitary belts every month, and it will be much more convenient..."

what?
Mo Lingyu stared at Sister Wei with wide eyes.

A puzzled expression that said "are you serious?"

"real!"

Mo Lingyu looked at Sister Wei for a long time.

My thoughts are racing.

He thought seriously about what consequences would happen to Xie Wei if this matter was discovered by others, and then thought about the negative consequences that would occur if Xie Wei did it himself for his sister if Sister Wei and he didn't help.

After all, Xie Wei cares so much about Xie Rou.

If it was just a suggestion, and I did it with Sister Wei, no one would say anything.

He immediately returned to the classroom with Sister Wei and called Xie Wei out.

"what?"

After hearing Mo Lingyu say that she was willing to help Xie Wei get the sanitary napkins, Xie Wei was stunned.

This woman just reacted so strongly...

"Class monitor, you are a boy, it is definitely inappropriate for you to do this."

Sister Wei said to Xie Wei seriously.

How could Xie Wei not know this?
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have looked for Mo Lingyu.

"Okay, since you are willing to help, let me tell you my idea... I am considering making the outermost layer waterproof to prevent leakage. Non-woven fabric + PE film can be used; the internal absorbent core layer can be made of polymer absorbent resin or fluff pulp, or even cotton. However, the domestic supply of cotton is currently insufficient..."

"Do you have a perfect plan?"

After listening to Xie Wei's plan, Sister Wei looked very strange.

Mo Lingyu looked at Xie Wei, the corners of his mouth moved several times, but in the end he said nothing.

"Xie Rou had her period that day, and I was thinking about it when I went to see Mo Lingyu... This kind of thing mainly requires materials with good water absorption. At present, our school's materials research laboratory has these materials..."

Xie Wei said insincerely.

When Xie Rou had her period, he went to Mo Lingyu for help, but he didn't even know that there were no sanitary napkins!

"Squad leader, how about this? Since you have a complete plan, come up with a design. If it works well, all the female comrades in the country will be grateful to you."

As a married woman who has given birth to a child, Sister Wei is much more accepting than Mo Lingyu.

Stuff is good stuff.

It is really convenient.

Before she went to college, she washed her sanitary belt every month. Not only could she not hang it directly on the clothesline, but she also had to be careful not to be seen by her family...

After arriving at school, everyone could only hang their clothes to dry in the dormitory.

When the weather is bad, it is even easy to grow mold...

"Okay, I'll go back to the classroom and draw it. You're women, so you know what the needs are better. I'll trouble you to design the details later..."

Xie Wei said, "If it works well, we'll ask the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to help design the production line..."

"..."

Mo Lingyu and Sister Wei didn't know how to answer.

Xie Wei is familiar with sanitary napkins.

There was no way. In his era, he couldn't avoid all kinds of sanitary napkin advertisements when watching TV since he was a child.

Brands like "Anle" and "Shuermei" are so memorable that they are unforgettable.

Soon, Xie Wei came up with a design plan.

After looking at the design plan that Xie Wei came up with, Sister Wei and Mo Lingyu felt complicated and were too embarrassed to continue discussing it with Xie Wei.

"Class monitor, how about you help the school borrow a lab for us?"

After reading the design plan given by Xie Wei, Sister Wei saw that all the materials were marked on it, and all she needed to do was to manufacture it.

Thinking about the purpose of this thing, it is not suitable to let too many people know about it.

If Xie Wei had not emphasized that the products must be disinfected before packaging, they could have done it by hand in the dormitory.

"Okay, I'll make the contact. I'll also help you get the materials."

With the help of Sister Wei and Mo Lingyu, Xie Wei made a detailed introduction in the plan specification, and various precautions were also specially noted, such as making the sanitary napkin breathable and leak-proof; preventing side leakage, etc.

Let Sister Wei and Mo Lingyu discuss the specific details themselves.

"What do you need a place for?"

Wang Zheng didn't expect that Xie Wei would come to him during the Chinese New Year not to ask him for a drink or to inquire about the work of the school-enterprise office, but to ask him to set up a laboratory for him.

"A new product was developed with the help of our classmates. If nothing goes wrong, this will become a new business for the school-enterprise partnership."

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

When Wang Zheng heard about the new business, he didn't ask any more questions and went to arrange it immediately.

Even for the various research laboratories in the school that could provide various materials, even though they were on vacation, Wang Zheng would drag Wu Tao along to find relevant personnel to provide materials.

After just two days, a thicker sanitary napkin was secretly handed to Xie Wei by Mo Lingyu, who was blushing.
