Chapter 100 Lin Dong's Youthful Spirit

"this----"

After the desert representative finished asking his question, the group left again in a large group, leaving Zhang Yihao, Huang Qingyao, and their friends all stunned.

Once everyone had walked a little further away, there was no one else around.

Xu Qingling tugged at Lin Dong's sleeve and asked softly, "Is this how people in the desert buy things?"

"Which region of the desert are you looking at?"

Lin Dong chuckled and said, "Some desert areas are relatively poor. They buy less and mainly rely on robbing the rich to help the poor, but they can often dig things out of the desert or haul things from the sea."

Some desert regions are relatively wealthy; they have the money to buy, and they buy in bulk, making major countries their stable suppliers.

That was a relatively wealthy desert camel-producing region; that's how they always buy things.

Those who buy from us will inevitably buy from the Americans as well—this is a kind of survival wisdom unique to small, wealthy countries.

"Is it due to the unique survival wisdom of small countries?"

Huang Qingyao's eyes widened, her clear gaze filled with confusion: "The country that Camel and his people belong to—is it a small country?"

"The standard for judging whether a country is large or small should not be based on the size of its economy or territory, but on the strength of its military."

Lin Dong's eyes flashed with a sharp glint: "Look at Russia's economy, it's a complete mess."

But if he were to slam his fist on the table, stand up, and ask who's in favor and who's opposed, only two countries or regions in the entire world would dare to speak up.

"right!"

Xu Hua nodded in agreement: "Don't be fooled by those desert representatives who bought from two companies at once. The ones buying from us are actually the ones we use, while the ones buying from the Americans are just for tribute."

"So complicated."

Huang Qingyao shook her head, her clear eyes wide, somewhat unable to understand the reasoning behind it.

"You'll understand better if you use real-life examples."

As Lin Dong spoke, he reached out and patted Zhang Yihao's sturdy shoulder, his smile carrying a hint of teasing, "For example, our Brother Hao, he's been sturdy since he was a child."

When he was in first or third grade, he ran out of pocket money, so he liked to play rock-paper-scissors and bet his pocket money with us. As long as he kept throwing, he could keep winning and always had pocket money.

"Get lost!"

Zhang Yihao's eyes widened, and his face flushed as he protested, "I was ignorant and bullied people when I was a child, but I never robbed anyone!"

When I grew up and became more sensible, I always treated you to ice cream and chocolate as an apology.

"Look everyone, this is called admitting guilt without being asked; I didn't force it."

Lin Dong smiled, and the next second he quickly strode forward, showed his credentials, and boarded the vehicle back to the dormitory.

Behind.

Xu Qingling watched Lin Dong's swift and agile figure, a smile flashing in her eyes, and followed after him.

Rumble—

The vehicle continued on its way.

Soon we arrived at a reception area set up by the headquarters, which was more than ten kilometers away.

"Yaoyao, Caiping! Over here!"

Before they even got off the bus, Su Yue, who had been waiting outside, waved and called out as soon as she saw them, her face beaming with excitement.

"Comrade Ren Jia, you have violated the exercise regulations!"

After the car came to a stop, Huang Qingyao saluted the driver and soldier, then ran over to hug Su Yue, and said seriously, "They didn't call me by my exercise name."

"No, I left the exercise area last night, and the command said I could use my real name again."

As Su Yue spoke, she seemed to remember something and sighed in a lifeless tone, "Yao Yao, my acting career is such a pity."

After nearly a month of rigorous training, I took a half-day train ride to Guangxi Province, then slept on a mountain. The exercise had just begun—and I returned to the guesthouse for another night.

"puff-

—"

Huang Qingyao couldn't help but laugh, and praised Su Yue, "Not bad, you can still sleep, your mindset is good."

"Hey bro, how's it going?"

Zhang Yihao walked over and encouraged Li Tao, "Next time we have the chance, let's go to the battlefield together and experience what it's like to dig trenches."

'

""

Li Tao took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Blue Team command, did Xu Hua's grandfather successfully carry out the decapitation strike?"

"He harbors hatred, but he's mentally sound."

Zhang Yihao laughed, his expression excited, "Seven fiber optic drones directly and precisely paralyzed the entire command center, followed by a swarm of drones—Xu Hua even sent his grandfather a greeting."

talking.

Zhang Yihao briefly described the whole process, which made Li Tao both excited and regretful. In the end, he said helplessly, "This real-world combat is too difficult. Next time I have the opportunity to participate in an exercise, I must choose a better location."

"Indeed, it's very difficult."

Zhang Xuebin, who is usually very quiet, surprisingly chimed in, saying earnestly, "We know it's an exercise, so we have a good mindset."

If this were a real battlefield, I'm afraid my legs would be too weak to walk.

Because I don't know if a shell will suddenly hit me in the next second, and I'll be killed without even having a chance to react.

.

"Disaster?"

"The current exercises are acceptable. As long as tactical training is sufficient, trenches are dug carefully, and terrain is found for defense, being bombarded to death is a low-probability event."

You don't know what the previous drills were like; they were truly insane.

Xu Hua listened to everyone's words and shook his head, saying, "As everyone knows, the lethality of the same shell in an open area is worlds apart from that in a sheltered area."

However, the early exercise system was not powerful enough to determine whether someone was killed based on the sand table terrain, tactical micro-terrain, and tactical actions, as it is now.

Back then, the exercises involved calculating the impact point based on the firing data of the shells, and then drawing circles within the exercise area according to the kill radius of the shells.

Whoever is surrounded by this circle will be killed.

Regardless of whether there are mountains blocking the way or trenches for cover, this is pure map-penetrating damage—that's what you call dying without even knowing why.

"this----"

Li Tao and the others stared wide-eyed: "Then the artillery is invincible on the battlefield during the exercise."

"right."

Xu Hua nodded: "So not long after, the exercise command banned the artillery, and only allowed it to reappear after the exercise system was perfected."

"This headquarters looks a bit like a game design office."

Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh when he heard about this.

Seeing Lin Dong's barely suppressed smile, Xu Qingling couldn't help but laugh too, her eyes sparkling as she said, "This is different from the dog-like game planners of League of Legends; this is a real game planner."

"What's with that expression? Why are you smiling so happily?" Lin Dong noticed Xu Qingling's unusual expression and turned to ask curiously.

"It's nothing."

Xu Qingling smiled, thought for a moment, and said honestly, "To use the words from the book, I feel that you have a more youthful spirit this time. Before, you always had a lot on your mind and seemed too composed."

"Yeah?"

Lin Dong counted in his mind.

The Emei WS-15 turbofan engine project, the third-generation single-crystal nickel-based material project, and the self-developed "New Hot" engine—a three-in-one supercharged engine project—

I won't go into the last two.

My own hobbies and interests, and the joy of relaxing in daily life.

But in the first two projects, whether openly or secretly, he unknowingly became the key person who pushed the project to success.

Moreover, both of these are large-scale scientific research projects, and the problems that arise from them are countless.

just.

Both of these projects are crucial national assets and, more importantly, affect the livelihoods of the entire nation.

If you didn't have the ability in your past life, that's fine. But if you have the ability in this life, you should definitely do your best.

If these two projects could achieve breakthroughs ahead of schedule, perhaps the situation would be completely different for the rest of my life.

"Thinking about it this way—"

Various thoughts flashed through Lin Dong's mind, and finally he sighed and smiled, saying, "There are indeed many things to do at home, and I'll be busy when I get back."

Xu Qingling looked at Lin Dong's eyes, which were unusually bright and determined despite his sigh, raised her hand in a gesture of encouragement, and said with a smile, "Go for it, Mr. Zhang Tingsong."

Lin Dong paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile and say, "Thank you, Ms. Luo Min."

"Aaaaaaah!"

Not far away.

Huang Qingyao, Su Yue, and the others saw Lin Dong and the other person chatting.

Although they couldn't understand what the two were talking about, their expressions and words made them all unable to hold back.

Huang Qingyao couldn't help but rush over, grab Xu Qingling's arm, shake it, and yell.

"How could you do this! How could you do this! What do you take us for?!"

"We're used to it."

Li Tao shrugged and said calmly, "My mom said it's a childhood betrothal, something to be envious of."

talking.

Li Tao sighed regretfully, turned to look at Zhang Yihao, then at Zhang Zihua, and finally said to Zhang Zihua.

"Hua, why aren't you a girl? That way I could have a marriage arranged for you when we were children."

"----roll!"

Faced with such shameless words, Zhang Zihua, who has been calm and composed in recent years, could not hold back and kicked him.

"Why!"

A wise person uses words, not actions!

Li Tao quickly jumped away to avoid the attack, looking relaxed, showing no trace of the sadness he felt during the artillery bombardment in the exercise the night before.

"Lin Dong, isn't that your uncle over there?"

At this moment, Xu Qingling seemed to see something, broke free from Huang Qingyao's arm, and gestured for Lin Dong to look towards the entrance of the reception area, asking in surprise, "Why are those desert representatives here looking for my uncle?"

"Waaaaah~ Is this what a childhood betrothal is like? You don't even need to use the subject when calling the other party's relatives————" Huang Qingyao and the others cried out in despair.

"

'

Lin Dong ignored the guys' antics and turned to look at the entrance of the guesthouse.

Zhang Fangxu, the younger brother's uncle, was wearing a brown-grey polo shirt and casual jeans, with a watch on his wrist, and was accompanied by a few members of his team.

They had just seen at headquarters that camels representing the desert, each wearing a cloth on its head, were walking towards them in two groups.
