Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

The marshal opened his mouth, but swallowed his refusal and looked only at Secretary Zhou.

Secretary Zhou immediately straightened his back: "Don't worry, I'll personally arrange the entire trip to Hebei. As you know, Comrade Wanqing, if it weren't for her at Yanshan, we wouldn't have gotten through so many difficulties. Now the people at the mine are saying that as soon as Comrade Su Wanqing arrives, bad things can turn into good things. I think so too—she's our lucky star. Maybe if she goes, even floods will have to give way to her."

"Secretary Zhou is right! Every time things are in a mess, Comrade Su's arrival immediately brings order. I think it will be the same this time; her arrival will surely bring a turning point."

"Of course, just for this good fortune, Comrade Su should make the trip."

Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, the marshal had no choice but to agree: "Alright, Secretary Zhou, I'm entrusting Comrade Su Wanqing's safety to you. You'll need to transfer another team from the guard company to protect her at all times."

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

With the matter mostly settled, Su Wanqing got up to take her leave. All that was left was to go to the warehouse at dawn to unload the supplies and give everyone a big surprise.

By midnight, the area outside the storage base had already been cleared out.

This is the second time already, and everyone has developed a sense of familiarity with each other.

Moreover, there were more people this time than last time—in addition to military representatives, experts from the metallurgical and aerospace industries also came. Professor Sun and his students were all invited, and Gu Zhixing naturally came as well.

What surprised Su Wanqing the most was that Deputy Commander Zhao actually brought Old Qian with him.

As soon as they met, Deputy Commander Zhao greeted her with a hearty laugh and patted her on the shoulder heavily: "Well done, Su girl! We've all heard about the commotion you've caused in the capital. You've really brought honor to Bincheng! When we received the telegram at noon, Old Qian didn't even finish his lunch before flying over in his fighter jet."

Mr. Qian adjusted his glasses, pulled a stack of documents from his briefcase, and his face was filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"Su girl, I heard you got your hands on a complete set of forging and forming equipment for aerospace-grade titanium alloy? If you really have such a good thing, that's just in time! This equipment can not only solve the forming problems of fighter jet beams and frame sections, but also make the structural components of civilian airliners ourselves in the future. We will no longer have to wait for foreign companies to do it, and we will no longer have to spend more than ten years figuring it out ourselves."

As he spoke, he handed over the documents: "These are the equity documents for Bincheng Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. They've already been approved, and you'll get an additional 10% of the technology shares. Xiao Su, please don't refuse. You've made such a great contribution to the factory and the country; this is what you deserve. No one can say a word against it."

Deputy Commander Zhao chuckled and said, "Quickly put it away, Xiao Su. It's all stamped, and it's legally binding. We're here today for two reasons: first, to see the equipment in person, and second, to deliver this document to you."

Unable to refuse, Su Wanqing smiled and accepted, "Okay, then I'll take it. Let's go, let's go take a look at the equipment together."

"good!"

All eyes turned to Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing stood before her warehouse base once more, and for a moment she almost didn't recognize it. It had only been a few days since she'd last been here?

What used to be a solitary warehouse has now transformed into several larger steel-structured warehouses, with several rows of frames under construction. A perimeter wall has been erected around the construction site, and the gatehouse has been renovated. The signboard is now empty, but the main gate and passageways have been widened.

Most strikingly, a makeshift road has been built on the wasteland next to the base, leading directly to the main road outside.

Secretary Zhou excitedly said from the side, "The construction team said that in another ten days to half a month, they will be able to complete the main structure according to your blueprints. Then they will help you reclaim the surrounding wasteland. Anyway, this whole piece of land is yours, you can use it however you want."

Su Wanqing nodded in satisfaction. This place would be her starting point in Beijing from now on.

The marshal rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining as he looked at her like a child waiting to unwrap a gift. Su Wanqing didn't linger; she walked to the warehouse door and silently recited a prayer in her mind—

"receive."

In an instant, all fifteen tons of gold in the warehouse disappeared, neatly stacked into the space, all uniform gold bricks, gleaming gold, piled up into a small mountain.

"No more worries, I'll probably never have to worry about gold again when upgrading my space in this lifetime." Including her previous stockpile, the amount of precious metal power she could use had finally exceeded sixteen tons. As for the gold that had lost its precious metal power, she could easily get it back by flipping it around.

After receiving the gold, Su Wanqing was happy for only a second before quickly putting all the items to be handed over that night into the warehouse.

This time the warehouse is large enough, and the side warehouse has been expanded, so there's plenty of space.

In the blink of an eye, she quietly put in all the massive mining equipment, purification production line, 30,000-ton die forging press, and the nuclear-grade high-purity graphite preparation technology data that she had obtained by spending 20,000 merit points.

After putting everything away, Su Wanqing opened the warehouse door.

The flashlight beams and searchlights shone in simultaneously, and a collective gasp filled the air.

Those powerful, beast-like machines lay quietly in the warehouse, their brand-new metal casings gleaming coldly. The things that everyone present had dreamed of for countless years were now right before their eyes.

Even Old Sun, who was almost asleep in his wheelchair, suddenly opened his eyes wide, stood up abruptly, and ran forward a few steps, using both his hands and feet:

"What... what is this? This batch of equipment is completely different from what we've seen before! Weren't we supposed to be receiving equipment from the titanium industry tonight? How come there's this huge thing here?" He recognized it, but couldn't believe it!

Su Wanqing: "..." Look, she's even forced Old Sun to run on his hands and feet. Sure enough, you don't know that people who can't walk can run unless you push them. It's only humans who can create miracles.

His student followed after him, and after just one glance, he was so excited his voice cracked:

"Teacher! This is a complete set of equipment for manufacturing nuclear-grade high-purity graphite! It's far more advanced than the Soviet technology route we previously envisioned! This is what you've been talking about for half your life! With this, the problem of neutron moderator and reflector materials in nuclear reactors will be completely solved, and reactor efficiency will jump to a whole new level!"

"W-Is this really that? Didn't they just reach the lab level in the US? How come this is already a complete production line?"

Old Sun's hands trembled as he touched the outer casing of the equipment, as if it were some rare treasure.

Gu Zhixing quickly squeezed to the front row, looked up at the row of equipment, and had a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

He quickly scanned the equipment nameplate and parameter table, his mind in turmoil—the production batch number and manufacturer were all a string of meaningless gibberish, as if they had been forcibly erased, yet the performance parameters of this equipment were far superior to those of the world's most advanced laboratory results.
