Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 246: Lie Detector

In August 1962, the temperature in Beijing was exceptionally high during the hottest days of summer. The scorching weather made people feel unhappy.

Even with the Arctic Ocean car and popsicles, people only felt happy for a short while, but afterwards their clothes and hair were still soaked with sweat.

Zhao Huijun and the other little kids were running around in the yard, as if the word "heat" didn't exist for them. They were happily playing all day long.

Hu Xiaocao and her four siblings, Yu Yuanxu's three siblings, several children from nearby neighbors, and Zhao Huijun and her friends, more than ten children gathered together and had a great time.

"I am back!"

At the Chuihua Gate, Zhao Mancang shouted with laughter. Xiao Taozi and the other little kids were stunned for a second, then rushed towards their father screaming with joy.

"Dad, why did you take so long on this business trip? It's been almost half a month, and half of the summer vacation is over."

Zhao Huijun, hugging her father's thigh, pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

After mid-July, she began to enjoy her summer vacation. The summer vacation in this era was not as long as in later generations, only about one and a half months.

It was already early to mid-August, so Zhao Huijun was so dissatisfied and thought her father didn't want to accompany her.

"It's not over yet, don't be unhappy, come on, come on, look at what I brought you back."

Zhao Mancang spoils his own children and doesn't have too many requirements as long as the children are healthy and happy.

Zhao Huijun has all the qualities that a good child should have, such as being polite, studious, and knowing when to advance and retreat. Lin Wan has taught her very well in this regard.

Little Taozi, Little Baozi, Little Shitou and other children cheered and wanted to know what gifts their father brought back.

Zhao Mancang had already made plans for this August summer vacation, because after the summer vacation, in September, some big things would happen both abroad and at home.

Although this matter has little to do with Zhao Mancang, he will still pay attention to it.

After staying at home for a day, Zhao Mancang returned to his office in Guozi Lane. When Wei Huayong saw him back, he felt relieved.

"Mancang, you're finally back. I've been so busy. I feel like I'm even busier after retirement than before. You've thrown most of the work to me."

Although Wei Huayong was complaining, there was no resentment on his face. Instead, he looked excited.

"Originally, you were in charge of Jiaolong School's enrollment, but now you've become a hands-off manager."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang smiled and comforted and praised the other party, then asked about the current enrollment situation of the entire Jiaolong School.

The Jiaolong School had been decided since April, and Zhao Mancang quickly found Feng Zuzheng, Du Liantao and Tian Dewang from Peking University to help build the school.

Apart from Zhao Mancang's help in following up at the beginning and helping to purchase a batch of supplies from Ma Jiugong and others, he did not help in any other way.

Zhao Mancang also handed over the enrollment work to Wei Huayong, and he would occasionally supervise and inquire about it. The rest of the time, he would go to the Northwest to prepare for the construction of the so-called Northwest Laboratory.

Anyway, no one knew what he was doing. Apart from getting the approval note from the leader of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, he didn't say anything about finance, material procurement, personnel recruitment, etc.

The enrollment of Jiaolong School started in May. Since Jiaolong School recruits students independently and also recruits students from schools in rural areas, a group of people were temporarily hired to help.

There are now a large number of idle young people in the capital. They have no jobs but are eager to work.

Zhao Mancang's intention was to select the best from this group of people. After the selection, he would let Zuo Changsheng and other Jiaolong soldiers train them for about half a month before sending them out.

So far, the enrollment work is still going quite well.

After Wei Huayong finished speaking, Zhao Mancang nodded. Anyway, he would randomly check some students and personally take the information to the students' hometowns to check.

If it does not match the information, it will definitely be returned.

Zhao Mancang, who has lived two lives, knows very well what means those people in the countryside will use to achieve their goals. Perhaps they don’t know what kind of school Jiaolong School is, but they know that it is a good school from the capital.

"Some schools have already registered early. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Well, Lao Wei, are you free now?"

"Of course there is. Let's go and take a look."

Wei Huayong immediately pulled Zhao Mancang into the car in a hurry and drove straight to Beiwu Village in the suburbs.

It is completely different from a few years ago. Now there are several cars parked at No. 8 Guozi Lane. Cars are no longer rare equipment.

Therefore, there will be no shortage of cars in the entire department, and there will even be a surplus of cars in many cases.

Beiwu Village is located near the Summer Palace, but now Beiwu Village is very different. It is surrounded by a long wall.

Trees are planted around the wall. Once they grow up, they will serve as a natural barrier.

However, the only protective measures now are still the walls and the school security patrol team.

A security department must be established. Only such a team can protect the school and minimize outside prying eyes.

After the car passes through the school gate and enters the campus, you can see that this school is very new everywhere.

The lawn was laid less than three months ago, and the flower beds and gardening are all very new, and you can tell at a glance that they were planted not long ago.

The only two forests in the north and south that seem to have taken a long time to grow are the trees there, which are at least twenty years old.

The reason why these trees have been preserved over the years is all thanks to the old guys in the village. They relied on their stubborn and tough attitude to successfully prevent these trees from being cut down.

Zhao Mancang didn't care about these. He was more interested in the playground, teaching buildings, dormitories, auditorium and other things built on the campus.

There were hundreds of primary school students undergoing military training on the playground, and the instructors training the students were Shen Anrong and Li Zhenzu.

Shen Anrong has lost his legs, but Zhao Mancang gave him prosthetic limbs, allowing him to stand and walk like a normal person. However, he cannot run like a normal person.

Even so, for Shen Anrong, this is already the best. It is a thousand times or ten thousand times better than being assigned to be a security guard before.

Li Zhenzu had an arm injury, and due to his own circumstances at the time, he was too embarrassed to continue staying in the 108th Department, so he was forced to retire.

Later he was assigned to an ordinary army unit as an instructor, but he was not happy working there. After all, he left the 108th Department and was forced to be "demoted" from a very good unit to a very ordinary unit. This huge gap, of course, made him very unhappy.

Now, when Zhao Mancang called, Li Zhenzu immediately agreed.

Even though they were training a group of sixth-grade elementary school students in their early teens, Li Zhenzu and Shen Anrong were very satisfied because they were cultivating talents for the future Jiaolong Army, which was equivalent to them participating in the Jiaolong Army's mission in another way, and there was not much difference between them and people like Zuo Changsheng, Qiu Shigui, and Yuan Zuliang.

"What are you looking at? Train seriously! Have you forgotten my rules?"

After Zhao Mancang and Wei Huayong drove to a place not far from the playground, the primary school students who were training couldn't help but look around out of curiosity, which immediately made Li Zhenzu and Shen Anrong look ugly, and they immediately scolded these primary school students.

After scolding these elementary school students and confirming that they did not glance around, Li Zhenzu and Shen Anrong ran to Zhao Mancang and Wei Huayong and saluted them with a very standard military salute.

After returning the greeting, Zhao Mancang said with a smile:
"Lao Li, Lao Shen, are you used to working here? I hope I haven't overworked you."

"No, I really like this job, Lao Zhao, thank you!"

"Yes, I never thought I would be reborn one day. I really cherish my current job. Thank you, Lao Zhao, for allowing me to continue participating in the mission."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the two of them, Zhao Mancang asked about the more than 100 elementary school students.

Students in the sixth grade should enter the first grade of junior high school in September, so most of them are around eleven or twelve years old. They are not very old, but definitely not young.

Students of this age group are already able to live independently, and in rural areas they are even equivalent to a woman's labor force.

"What's going on with those white students?"

After taking a look around, Zhao Mancang found that there were about seven or eight students in the team who looked quite fair and did not look like children from farming families at all, so he asked.

Feng Zuzheng and Tian Dewang, who came over shortly afterwards, exchanged glances, and the latter replied with a stiff upper lip:
"Director Zhao, according to the information, these students all look so pale because their families don't want them to do farm work. However, their grades are all very good."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang nodded without comment.

Zhao Mancang will personally check whether it is true or false.

At present, there are only the first batch of students who have arrived early. These students are from several provinces and cities around Beijing and live close to the capital, so they are asked to come early.

For students from other places, it won't be that fast.

The next day, Zhao Mancang followed a student file and came to a small mountain village about 500 kilometers away from the capital.

This time, Zhao Mancang did not come alone, but brought Wei Huayong, Feng Zuzheng and others, as well as two members of the security department.

At the entrance of Laoniugou Village, a large group of people stopped their busy farm work and looked at the helicopter that suddenly landed.

Zhao Mancang and others who got off the helicopter went straight to the villagers and started greeting them.

"Comrades, I want to ask you about someone."

Zhao Mancang's purpose was very simple, which was to randomly ask several of them to know those elementary school students who had been recruited by Jiaolong School to conduct separate background checks.

He did not directly investigate the elementary school student, but instead asked about the student's parents and family situation.

Since the admission rules of Jiaolong School are very clear, students must come from poor families. If they are not from poor families, Zhao Mancang will definitely not accept them.

Why must they be students from poor families?
Because children from poor families are more able to endure hardships and work, the age of eleven or twelve is a very critical age for shaping their three views. If they are children from wealthy families in cities, although they can also endure hardships, they are still a little bit behind.

And the most important thing is that these people have a more promising future than rural children.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang does not need to provide better employment opportunities for such children. They can go to other units.

What's more, entering Jiaolong School doesn't mean you can sit back and relax. No one can guarantee whether you can be trained well.

After graduation, outstanding students enter the Longxing Research Institute, Jiaolong Army or Tenglong Factory, but this does not mean that everything will be fine.

Especially if you want to join the Jiaolong Army, you need to be assessed with the soldiers from other troops. Only after passing the assessment can you become a member of the Jiaolong Army.

Moreover, even after becoming a member of the Jiaolong Army, there is still a possibility of accidents occurring during the execution of missions.

Those children in towns have a better future and do not need to compete for resources with those children in rural areas.

After some investigation, Zhao Mancang discovered that among the eight students with lighter skin, six of them were from the city and were not rural students at all.

After learning about this, Zhao Mancang did not show any shock, because this matter was too normal.

"Old Wei, I'll leave this matter to you. I don't care about the process, I only care about the result. If something like this happens again, you have to make sure all those people get out of here."

Due to the times, no matter what job you do, it is almost a stable job and there is no possibility of being fired or other situations.

But here at Jiaolong School, everyone is a temporary worker, and Zhao Mancang has not given them any formal jobs.

It is much more difficult to get a formal job.

Anyway, Zhao Mancang doesn't need to rely on these people. He just needs them to do their jobs well.

But I didn't expect that they would actually "line their own pockets", so don't blame Zhao Mancang for being ruthless.

Wei Huayong nodded seriously, indicating that he would handle the matter.

The helicopter flew back to the capital and landed in an open area of ​​Jiaolong School. The primary school students in the distance all stared at it with wide eyes, as if they couldn't see enough.

They have been very excited since they saw the helicopter yesterday.

A helicopter actually appeared in their school?
In the future, their curriculum will also include courses such as aircraft flying techniques, which will directly increase students' enthusiasm for learning.

Which child around the age of eleven or twelve isn't full of curiosity about the world? Besides, helicopters and airplanes are things they've never come into contact with before, but now they not only have the opportunity to come into contact with them, but they also have the possibility of becoming a pilot. How can they not be excited?

"Don't get too excited yet. If you want to learn airplane driving skills and become a pilot, not only do you need to have good academic performance, but you also need to have high physical fitness."

"The teacher has already said that we need to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and labor-wise. So you can't just be bookworms. Most importantly, you can't let your eyesight deteriorate during your studies. You must learn to protect your eyes. Otherwise, poor eyesight will also keep you out of school."

Li Zhenzu looked at these energetic students with a smile and reminded them.

He had previously carried out missions with Zhao Mancang on the Monkey Peninsula and had ridden in the Banana helicopter piloted by Zhao Mancang, so he was relatively familiar with the recruitment requirements for pilots.

What's more, these are also the things that Li Zhenzu and his colleagues as instructors need to know. They need to instill correct concepts in these children and let them know that all this is hard-earned, and that what kind of person they want to become is not something that can be achieved simply by hard work.

Of course, a nearsighted student cannot become a pilot.

But if you can't become a pilot, you can still be a researcher wearing glasses.

When Zhao Mancang and his team got off the helicopter, their work for the day was over.

After watching Zhao Mancang and the others leave, Feng Zuzheng sighed:
"Director Zhao really can't tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in his eyes. Isn't he too strict?"

Tian Dewang, standing nearby, glanced at him and said, "If I weren't strict, would I have been able to become the leader of the Jiaolong Army? This entire organization was established at the suggestion of Director Zhao. Before, it was just a small unit of a dozen or so people. What's going on now?"

Since entering Jiaolong School, Tian Dewang and the other three have been considered members of the Jiaolong Comprehensive Institution, so many previously secret information has gradually been opened to them.

It was formerly called the 108 Departments, and is now called the Jiaolong Comprehensive Agency.

In the past, there were 108 departments, including the leader Wei Huayong, with a total of only 14 people, which can be said to be a very small unit.

But what about now?
Without mentioning the Longxing Research Institute, Tenglong Factory, the Jiaolong School which was established not long ago, and the Shaya Laboratory which is still under construction in the northwest, let’s just talk about the Jiaolong Army.

It was originally thought that after recruiting fifty more Jiaolong soldiers, after a one-year probation period, some of them would be reorganized and laid off, retaining the most elite warriors.

As a result, the warriors were indeed selected, but the logistics troops also showed up.

The entire Jiaolong Army consists of sixty-two people. Except for two unlucky ones who were forced to retire, the other sixty members all stayed.

The sixty Jiaolong Army warriors are completely different from the fourteen members of the 108 departments in the past.

"I actually think Director Zhao being so strict is actually a good thing. Haha, it will make our work easier."

Du Liantao said with a smile, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and continued:

"I used to be a teacher at Peking University. To be honest, although my life was comfortable, I felt like my life was over."

"On the contrary, now, I see the vitality and vigor in those primary school students. Perhaps this is the future of our country."

Upon hearing this, Tian Dewang and Feng Zuzheng nodded silently.

It must be said that although those elementary school students are still very young, they do represent the future. Looking at their full of energy every day, they wolf down their food in the cafeteria, making older people like Feng Zuzheng unable to help but eat an extra bowl of rice.

A few days later, Zhao Mancang left the capital again and came to the south with Feng Zuzheng and others.

Daxingzhuang Village is a small mountain village located in the Lingnan region. There is only one small road leading to the outside world. This road is rarely used, so in July and August, it becomes completely untravelable.

Zhao Mancang and his team found temporary workers who were recruiting students here, took them on a helicopter, and headed straight to Daxingzhuang Village.

The helicopter landed on the flat ground at the entrance of Daxingzhuang Village, which is used for drying rice and peanuts.

When the villagers saw the helicopter suddenly appear, they took out their homemade guns and were ready for battle.

There is very little contact between this place and the outside world. Last time, someone led a team to take away two of the villagers' children. These two students had very good grades and were in good physical condition because they had to walk to and from school every day, a distance of eight kilometers one way.

However, when a helicopter suddenly appeared, the villagers thought something big had happened outside, so they took out their homemade guns for defense.

As a result, they saw a group of more than ten people appear, including several leaders of their town and detachment, as well as the three admissions teachers from Beijing.

The moment he saw the villagers holding their homemade guns, Zhao Mancang felt very complicated.

This situation only occurs because information is too blocked.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang tried his best to make the subsequent research work as perfect as possible.

About 300 kilograms of food were taken down from the helicopter and all left in this small mountain village called Daxingzhuang.

It is called Daxingzhuang Village, but there are only fifty households in their village, which is nothing compared to the more than a hundred households in the past.

After chatting for half a day, Zhao Mancang finally flew away in a helicopter.

He spent the next few days here in the South, trying to complete his work as best he could.

The enrollment work of Jiaolong School is a long and arduous task.

After returning to the capital, it was already late August. Zhao Mancang wanted to rest for a few days before going to other places, but Gu Haidong came to him.

"Director Zhao, we've received news from China Resources. They need help now."

News came from China Resources Company that Tie Wanzhong and his team from the third team of Jiaolong Army went to Europe to carry out a mission to help China Resources Company solve some problems.

But now a month has passed, and there is still no news about Tie Wanzhong and his team, and there is still no news about the kidnapped members of China Resources Company.

It's like a stone sinking into the sea.

So now China Resources Company has found Gu Haidong, hoping that the latter can help.

After listening, Zhao Mancang spread his hands and said:

"Director Gu, we don't have any extra manpower right now. I can't go there myself, right? How about you ask the people at China Resources to wait a little longer and have some confidence in our Jiaolong Army. They will definitely be able to complete the mission."

The Jiaolong Army is not the 108 departments of the past. Zhao Mancang not only equipped them with more personnel, but also a logistics support force, higher mission allowances, safe houses, high-tech equipment, etc.

It can be said that the current Jiaolong Army is absolutely a very powerful existence. They were asked to carry out such a mission without being defeated, and no news has been reported back yet.

It is impossible for the entire army to be wiped out, and casualties are also unlikely. It is very likely that they lost contact for some reason.

Zhao Mancang was more experienced in this regard, so he told the people from China Resources Company not to be so anxious and just wait a little longer.

Gu Haidong nodded after hearing this:

"Okay, that's what happened. I hope you're mentally prepared. Also, the outside world has been very turbulent recently. If you really need to go out, be extremely careful."

"Also, even within the borders, we need to be cautious and avoid any accidents!"

Zhao Mancang nodded seriously, indicating that he knew it clearly.

Zhao Mancang was of course very clear about the reason why the other party reminded him in this way. It was simply because the KGB in Moscow had been looking for him.

Perhaps in the eyes of the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, Gu Haidong and others, Zhao Mancang is innocent and he is not the man behind the destruction of the Balkhash Lake camp.

Therefore, Gu Haidong and the others were speechless about the KGB who were biting Zhao Mancang like a mad dog.

But Zhao Mancang himself knew very well that the KGB had not made a mistake, but he would certainly not admit it, and if given the chance, he would definitely teach the KGB a lesson.

Anyway, we are destined to break up with Moscow. Besides, there is no such thing as friendship between countries, only naked interests.

After Gu Haidong left, Zhao Mancang became more eager for the satellite phone.

If there was a satellite phone at this time, he could contact Tie Wanzhong and his team at any time.

However, nothing can be rushed. Although he has provided a lot of help to the Longxing Research Institute and the Northwest Aerospace Group, it will still take some time before the Dongfanghong-1 is launched.

Unlike an atomic bomb, launching a satellite is not a simple matter. It is impossible to launch it just like that.

Besides, even if Dongfanghong-1 was launched, it would still take time to launch the geosynchronous orbit satellite that Zhao Mancang needed.

So satellite phones are not that fast, you can only be patient and wait.

"Alas, if the University of Tokyo could fully support the Dongfanghong-1 satellite like it supported the atomic bomb, the Dongfanghong-1 satellite might have been launched by now."

"It's a pity that those foreign big talkers are silent."

After John Fitzgerald became the monitor of Sam's squad, he said that as long as he was alive, the University of the East would never be able to build an atomic bomb.

But he was slapped in the face. The atomic bomb of the University of Tokyo was detonated in April last year. In other words, not long after John Fitzgerald finished speaking, the University of Tokyo grew giant mushrooms in the Northwest.

So his face was already swollen.

Perhaps if those big talkers say a few words, the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street and others might adjust their strategy slightly. Who knows, by then, Dongfanghong-1 might really be able to be launched ahead of schedule.

When he arrived at the Longxing Research Institute, Zhao Mancang walked around for a few times and asked professors Wei Changyuan, Hu Baoshan and Gan Guangde if they needed any help.

At the same time, Zhao Mancang was thinking about launching more scientific research projects, such as a lie detector.

During the past period of time, Zhao Mancang discovered that most of the temporary workers who were recruiting students for Jiaolong School were able to resist the temptation and work hard to recruit students. They really wanted to become formal employees of Jiaolong School.

But there are still some people who are hoping for luck and try to get away with it.

But Zhao Mancang didn't want this to happen. He didn't want them to be such people at all, so he hoped to prevent such a situation from happening through other means.

Therefore, if a lie detector could be developed, it would be very useful.

"How about getting an imported lie detector?"

Zhao Mancang, who was exhausted from running around, came up with this idea. Now it was almost September and school was about to start, so he really didn't want to do so many things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mancang went to the grain company again to find Ma Jiugong and Yuan Yushan and asked them to purchase a lie detector.

"A lie detector? Does it really exist? And does it really work?"

Ma Jiugong and Yuan Yushan looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't help but think of the time before liberation, when it seemed that the Military Control Commission of the Republic of China had imported a lie detector from Sam. However, that thing was said to be very powerful, but in reality it was not the case.

The invention of the polygraph can be traced back to 1921, and since then, the technology of polygraphs has continued to improve.

However, the basic principle of the polygraph is still focused on monitoring changes in three basic physiological functions: blood flow pressure, breathing, and sweat secretion. Because these changes are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and are not controlled by human consciousness, it is possible to determine whether a person is lying by recording these subtle physiological reactions.

Based on these principles, it is really hard to say whether a lie detector is real or fake.

"Comrade Ma, Comrade Yuan, don't worry about whether it's useful or not. Since you didn't spend the money, I'll take responsibility!"

Zhao Mancang interrupted rudely, not giving them any time to think about it, and quickly finalized the matter.

Driving away from the grain company, Zhao Mancang checked the experience points received by the system, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

A few days later, Zhao Mancang went to the Jincheng Wharf again to trade with Ma Jiugong and others, and earned some experience points again.

The polygraph did not arrive so quickly and we had to wait another two days.

After spending this summer vacation with Zhao Huijun, Zhao Mancang finally got a lie detector from the grain company.

After getting the polygraph, Zhao Mancang handed it to Feng Zuzheng and others, asking them to make good use of the device.

As a result, Wei Changyuan and Hu Baoshan heard about this from somewhere and came to find Zhao Mancang, saying that their laboratory also wanted such a device.

To be honest, a device like a polygraph is not so cheap. It cost Zhao Mancang 50,000 experience points to get it.

Zhao Mancang's current experience value balance has always been very high, but it has not yet exceeded one million experience points.

If his current work environment does not change much, then his experience point accumulation speed will be fixed.

You can earn about 100,000 experience points per month, but you may need to spend some of it frequently, so the actual experience points you can save are only around tens of thousands.

However, only tens of thousands of experience points can be saved every month. With the current balance of more than 500,000 experience points, it will take at least more than a year to save one million.

So this is the key point. Unless he doesn't spend much experience points, he will still be able to break through the one million experience point balance in about half a year, but it is unlikely.

After all, a balance of one million experience points won't bring about any major changes to the system, so it's fine to just maintain the status quo.

"No, this polygraph is too expensive. I can't lend it to you for research. You should first figure out the satellite phone and other projects. A polygraph isn't something we need urgently."

Zhao Mancang shook his head and refused. Although Wei Changyuan and the others were very disappointed, there was nothing they could do. After all, he was the leader.

Moreover, satellite phones and other items are the equipment that the Jiaolong Army urgently needs, not some crappy lie detector.

The lie detector is not bad, the key is that it is not very effective.

However, Zhao Mancang was soon entangled by someone.

"Mancang, don't go out yet. Come here. Do you still remember Comrade Shen Moqun? He is the leader of the special operations department. He came to talk to you today."

Wei Huayong stopped Zhao Mancang who was about to go out. Shen Moqun, Zhang Jinfu and Gu Chengwu were standing next to him. The latter two had a relatively good relationship with Zhao Mancang, so they were pulled over by Shen Moqun.

After a few pleasantries, Shen Moqun got straight to the point:
"Director Zhao, I heard that your Jiaolong School has a polygraph. I wonder if you could lend it to our department?"

Zhao Mancang was surprised when he heard this:

"Director Shen, you can report the situation directly to your superiors and ask Comrade Ma Jiugong to help you purchase a polygraph. It's such a simple matter."

When Shen Moqun heard this, the corners of his mouth instantly turned bitter.

How could he not know to ask his superiors for a lie detector?
The key point is that the Foreign Exchange Department does not approve it. Why?
Because polygraphs are too expensive, the Foreign Exchange Department is reluctant to spend so much money to purchase a not very practical polygraph. Besides, the special operations department has always had talented people who can get the desired information without the need for a polygraph.

On the contrary, if there is one more lie detector, everyone may become dependent on this device, and by then, the abilities of many people in the special operations department may be degraded.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​other leaders, and it does not mean that most leaders hold this view.

"The Foreign Exchange Department won't approve it?"

Zhao Mancang blinked and was silent for a moment before saying:

"Director Shen, I can lend you the polygraph, but it's not free, and you must promise not to touch it. This equipment is very delicate and could go wrong if you're not careful."

His meaning is very clear, that is, to do business in a fair and impartial manner!

It was obvious that Zhang Jinfu and Gu Chengwu were brought here to act as lobbyists, but how could Zhao Mancang not see it?

So he directly blocked what Shen Moqun wanted to say next.

If the 108th Department had not had a good relationship with the Special Operations Department in the past, Zhao Mancang would never have loaned it out.

How could I just lend out the good stuff I exchanged for 50,000 experience points?

After saying that, Zhao Mancang handed the matter over to Wei Huayong to handle, and he himself fled.

Northwest China, Taklamakan Desert, Shaya Laboratory.

When Zhao Mancang sneaked into the Shaya Laboratory in the dark from the desert dozens of kilometers away, the soldiers on guard did not notice him at all.

It’s not that the soldiers were lazy or anything else, but that Zhao Mancang was too strong and disguised too well, so the soldiers couldn’t find him at all.

After passing through the guard cordon, Zhao Mancang walked into the Shaya Laboratory area and began to wander around slowly.

The most obvious things in this area are the huge barbed wire fences and the straight and empty airport.

It is now the end of August and half of the time has passed. Deng Ji and his 500-man engineering corps have completed more than half of the task.

After inspection, Zhao Mancang basically confirmed that the camp would be completed successfully in less than half a month.

Because it was already 9:30 in the evening, but there were still people working on the construction.

It shows that they are really trying their best.

After the inspection, Zhao Mancang quietly left here again, and then returned to dozens of kilometers away, driving the helicopter, stuffing a large amount of supplies into the helicopter, and at the same time tied some of the supplies under the helicopter.

When the helicopter arrived at the Shaya Laboratory, Deng Jihe, Wan Liming and others were already waiting in an open area not far away. The faint flashlight light shone over, letting Zhao Mancang know that they were indeed waiting.

It’s just that the helicopter’s headlights are obviously brighter.

"Leader Zhao, welcome."

Deng Jihe and others were very happy. Although Zhao Mancang only came here once a month and did not pay much attention to this place, they had no complaints.

Not to mention one month, even two months or even three months would not be a problem for Deng Ji and them.

Because there are five warehouses in Shaya Laboratory, which store a large amount of food, and there are abundant fresh water resources here, there is no need to worry about water problems at all.

Of course, if we enter winter, we will definitely be worried.

why?
The reason is very simple. They are afraid that there will be no more water resources. Because in winter, what condenses on the wire mesh is not water droplets, but ice.

Even during the daytime in winter, the average temperature is below minus four degrees Celsius.

In such climatic conditions, even if the barbed wire can condense water resources, it is not so convenient to take it out.

What's more, the climate in the desert area will be even worse in winter. Living in such a place, even if you can have enough to eat, it will still be a suffering.

"Well, you guys did a great job. I understand everything. Keep up the good work."

The first words Zhao Mancang said after getting off the helicopter immediately froze the smiling expressions of Deng Jihe, Wan Liming and others.
