Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Xiao Dang was still hungry at home, while Jia Zhangshi had a good meal outside.

With so much money in hand, it would be a waste not to treat yourself.

"Xiao Dang, why are you all alone at home? Where's your grandma? Where's your brother? Have you eaten yet?"

Qin Huairu asked in confusion.

"Grandma went out, and my brother... I don't know where he went."

Xiao Dang was hungry, and her face looked rather pale.

Just then, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady brought the stick back.

"It's nothing, Xiao Qin. Bang Geng ate something bad and has a bit of food poisoning. He's already been to the hospital, and his voice is a little hoarse, so it's inconvenient for him to speak."

"That's what the deaf old lady said."

"He ate something bad. What could he possibly eat that would make him sick at home? There's only so little food in the house; there's no way there could be any spoiled food!"

Qin Huairu asked in confusion.

"Oh dear, it's all my fault. I was thinking of buying some candy yesterday, but it turned out there was something wrong with it. I ate too much candy and that's how I got food poisoning. But I'm fine now."

Yi Zhonghai said guiltily.

Just then, Jia Zhangshi returned, swaying unsteadily.

"Alright, it's good that the child is alright. They meant well. Let's leave it at that. Just make sure you don't give our child any more random food in the future."

"I said indignantly."

Qin Huairu understood from Jia Zhangshi's explanation that Jia Zhangshi must have received a bribe.

Chapter 111 Mission Successfully Completed

As the days passed, it was already the afternoon of the fifth day.

Zhang Yu waited anxiously outside the door; these five days felt like an eternity.

Every day, Zhang Yu received news of his comrades' sacrifices, which filled him with mixed emotions, and he wished he could go back to carry out his mission immediately.

Instead of waiting for news here.

There was a creaking sound.

The door to the secret workshop was pushed open, and Li Xiangdong walked out looking exhausted.

"Chief Engineer Li, how are you? Don't push yourself too hard; you've already worked two night shifts."

Even though Zhang Yu was extremely anxious, he was also very clear-headed.

Li Xiangdong is an engineer highly valued by the higher-ups, and we can't let this task ruin his health.

If that's really the case, then he himself would truly be a sinner.

Even if it's delayed by another day or two, "400" is still fine.

The timeframe given above is one week, and it's only the fifth day now.

These past two nights, he's been having someone deliver late-night snacks, and Li Xiangdong is basically still up at three or four in the morning.

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak. After all, it's a mission sent down from above. The matter is important, so working overtime is no big deal."

Li Xiangdong gave a weary smile.

"Here's what we'll do, Chief Engineer Li. You take a day off first. I'll go back and report to my superiors. You just need to give me a brief overview of the progress. I'm sure the people above will understand."

Seeing Li Xiangdong's exhausted appearance, Zhang Yu felt very distressed.

Such a heavy burden on such a young person is indeed very stressful.

"I need to go back and rest for three days. I need to ask the factory for leave."

Li Xiangdong said with a smile.

"This this……"

When Zhang Yu heard that Li Xiangdong wanted to take three days off, he thought, "How can that be allowed?"

It's already quite difficult to get Li Xiangdong an extra day off in a week.

I don't have the authority to ask for three days.

If I report to my superiors like this, I'll inevitably get scolded, but being scolded is a minor matter.

If it delays the subsequent tasks, that would be a much bigger problem.

"Comrade Zhang Yu, don't panic. I know what you want to say. I made a promise to myself, how could I not keep it? Now that it's getting dark, come in and test the night-operation weapon I developed."

Li Xiangdong has been working day and night these past few days and is feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

Seeing Zhang Yu's anxious and worried expression outside, I couldn't help but want to tease him a little, just for fun.

Zhang Yu was taken aback when he heard Li Xiangdong's words.

Immediately, he grabbed Li Xiangdong's hands, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Really? You've really made it? Quick! Take me to see it!"

Zhang Yu couldn't contain his excitement if Li Xiangdong really managed to create equipment that could be used for nighttime combat.

The help they provided for their subsequent missions was invaluable.

It's like a tiger getting wings; at that time, it will not only significantly reduce casualties.

It can also better eliminate enemy agents lurking in Beijing.

"Of course, I wouldn't joke about something like this. Come in."

Li Xiangdong beckoned Zhang Yu and led him into the secret workshop.

This time, Li Xiangdong made prior arrangements, allowing some level 7 or 8 workers to manufacture parts independently outside.

Each person can only receive a small portion of the blueprints, while the most crucial parts are to be built by hand.

This is the only way to increase the speed.

The reason why workers were not allowed to come to the secret workshop for the construction was because they were afraid of the presence of enemy agents.

They'll leak their equipment blueprints then.

If they are only given a small portion of the blueprints, even if there are one or two enemy agents, it's still a problem.

It's also impossible to completely replicate the night-operation weapons they created.

"This is a night vision device that allows you to see the enemy's movements clearly at night. Put it on your head first. After you're all set up, I'll turn off the lights and simulate a nighttime situation."

Li Xiangdong picked up something that looked like glasses from the table and handed it to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu carefully put the night vision goggles on his head.

Li Xiangdong then picked one up as well.

After putting them on, turn off all the lights in the secret workshop. At this point, you can't see your hand in front of your face.

"Wow!"

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, even though the workshop was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

It was astonishing that Li Xiangdong, the scattered blueprints on the table, and some already-made weapons could be seen so clearly...

This is simply a miracle.

This technology is probably at least ten years ahead of other countries.

"Don't be so surprised. I call this device a night vision device. Its advantage is that it is extremely easy to wear. Once you put it on, you can see other people clearly at night, just like during the day."

"This is only a small part. If I were given five days, this is all I could produce. I'm afraid it will disappoint the higher-ups."

Li Xiangdong said with a smile, "If we really do it in these five days..."

A mere night vision device can be made in a day at most.

Li Xiangdong guessed it too; the people above might need some slightly more advanced weapons.

They managed to create some weapons that could operate at night, which only took another four days.

"Don't be surprised. Let me explain. See that gun? It has a scope on it, which serves the same purpose as the night vision goggles you're wearing."

"After you pick up that gun, take off your night vision goggles and look through the scope."

Li Xiangdong pointed to a gun on the table, and Zhang Yu quickly picked it up and removed the night vision goggles from his head.

What Zhang Yu saw through the scope took him by surprise.

This tiny scope actually holds a whole universe within it.

Its 2.1 function is almost identical to that of a night vision device, but that's not the point.

The key point is that this scope is extremely accurate.

It's safe to say that no other rifle scope in China has such high accuracy.

"Chief Engineer Li, I was a bit abrupt in my previous remarks. I didn't quite trust you before, but I never expected that you could actually manufacture such advanced weapons. With the support of these equipment, we can truly benefit from your efforts."

"Our actions will be greatly enhanced, enabling more comrades to avoid sacrifice during the operation."
