Yingtai, a small railway station in the northwest, has no marks on the map. Only on a special military map can this place be found.

A green-skinned train roared its whistle and slowly entered the station with thick white smoke. On the fifteenth of every month, a train will arrive at the Yingtai station. It is not an ordinary train, but a special freight train.

Su Yichen rubbed his numb feet and stood up in the carriage with the tall and heavy goods piled beside him. Since this was a military train, there were no passenger carriages at all, so naturally there were no seats. So he and Professor Wan Changchun were crowded with carriages. The conditions on the road were not very good. The sealed carriage was stuffy, hot and uncomfortable. The most important thing was that they could not drink too much water along the way because they could not go to the toilet at all.

"Finally arrived!" Wan Changchun looked at the small station that was about to stop through the narrow breathable window, and a smile appeared on his face. Behind him, Su Yichen, who was already moving, was taking their luggage off the shelf full of goods.

"Teacher Wan, is this the Winning Platform?" Su Yichen leaned over and looked out the window as Wan Changchun looked out.

"Yes!" Wan Changchun nodded and pointed out the window and said: "This place was called Yintai in ancient times. In the 20th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1755 AD, the Hezhuo rebelled in Xinjiang. The Qing army sent troops to suppress it. At that time, the army was divided into two groups. The counselor E Rong'an and the right deputy general of Dingbian Salar went out to the West Road to meet with the Northern Road Army in Bortala. This place was the logistics and grain storage place for the Western Road Army. In the battle of the army, the ancients paid the most attention to superstition. E Rong'an specially changed the name Yintai to Yingtai to win the horse to achieve success. From then on, the name Yingtai has been passed down to this day."

"You know so much!" Su Yichen sighed. He did not expect that as an expert in electronic engineering and a well-known professor in the School of Science, Wan Changchun even knew such a long history allusion.

"Stop flattering." Wan Changchun laughed and said, "This was when he was sent to the cowshed in the northwest. An old professor who specialized in studying the history of the Western Regions told me the story. After so many years, I still remember it."

"That's not easy, it's almost seven or eight years. By the way, Teacher Wan, that old professor now..."

Wan Changchun's face suddenly became dark, and she sighed and shook her head. Seeing his expression, Su Yichen felt a little regretful that he had mentioned something he shouldn't have mentioned. I'm afraid the old professor would probably be no longer alive. At this time, with a bang, the train stopped steadily, the door of the car opened from outside, and Su Yichen quickly picked up his luggage and called Wan Changchun out of the car.

After getting off the car and stepping on the simple gray platform, Su Yichen couldn't help but look around. In addition to the small Win Station and a row of simple warehouses behind the platform, there were green grasslands in the distance. The cattle and sheep of local herders were dotted like white clouds. In the distance were mountains along the scattered endlessly. At the highest point of the mountain, you could vaguely see the white snow of thousands of years. If Su Yichen guessed correctly, this should be the famous Kunlun Mountains.

Su Yichen is a doctoral student at the School of Science, Shimen University of Science and Technology. His supervisor is the dean of the School of Science, a famous domestic physicist and computer expert, Professor Luo Shaohua. As Professor Luo's proud and closed disciple, Su Yichen has made some achievements in physics, electromagnetics, computers and mathematics. He is known as Professor Luo's successor. As early as his sophomore year, he was named by Professor Luo himself and participated in a national key scientific research project.

In the late 1970s, Professor Ci Yungui of the University of Defense Technology presided over and established the China Megacomputer project plan. The goal was to develop China's 100 million-time giant machine - Galaxy Megacomputer. The project team Su Yichen joined was part of this huge plan. The project team was mainly responsible for the overall design and comprehensive testing of universal integrated circuits of giant computers. At the same time, as a famous electronic engineering expert, Professor Wan Changchun served as the deputy leader of the project team. The entire project team lasted four years and was only completed two months ago.

But before I could feel the joy of the final success of the Galaxy giant, the school suddenly received an order from my superiors. Due to the request of the national aerospace department and the military, the Northwest Aerospace Base urgently needed experts who were proficient in computer and electronic engineering. As the core group of China's first universal integrated circuit development project, Shimen University of Technology and Technology, the relevant departments asked the school to draw a group of experts to support it as soon as possible.

Originally, Professor Luo Shaohua was led directly to the team as planned, but unfortunately, Professor Luo Shaohua was unable to set off for the time being due to physical reasons. In order to ensure the urgency of technical support, Su Yichen took the initiative to propose that he would take the lead instead of the teacher. In this way, he and Professor Wan Changchun were the first to set off. Professor Luo Shaohua returned to his health and then led the team behind him to set off.

"The two are experts from the stone gate, aren't they?" Just as Su Yichen looked at the surrounding scenery and sighed at the poem "The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep", a thick voice brought him back to reality.

When he turned around, he saw a People's Liberation Army cadre wearing four pockets standing in front of Wan Changchun, with a dark face as if it was cut by a knife, and a pair of bright and sharp eyes were looking up and down.

The reason why the other party asked them directly was actually very simple, because the entire train, including all the staff at Yingtai, were all soldiers in uniforms or military uniforms, and only Su Yichen and Wan Changchun were wearing casual clothes. In addition, Wan Changchun was 60 years old, with gray hair and glasses, and a distinct intellectual appearance, which was extremely conspicuous among these people.

"We are experts from Shimen. You are the comrades who come to pick us up, right?" Wan Changchun replied quickly, and reached out to the other party with a smile.

But who would have thought that the PLA cadres opposite were not as enthusiastic as they imagined, and did not even raise their hands. Instead, they stared at Wan Changchun who was trying to shake hands with him.

It was a little strange, and soon Wan Changchun reacted immediately and quickly retracted his hand and took out the letter of introduction and his special certificate from his pocket. Seeing Wan Changchun doing this, Su Yichen hurriedly put down his luggage and took out the red-skinned ID from his shirt pocket.

The other party took the letter of introduction and the ID, and after opening it, he looked at it very carefully, and even compared the photos on the ID with the person standing in front of him. After confirming it, the People's Liberation Army cadres handed the letter of introduction and the ID to Su Yichen and the others with both hands, and then raised their hands to salute: "Hu Zhijun, the platoon leader of the second platoon of the Third Company of the Guard Battalion of 781, welcomed the arrival of the expert comrades!"

After saluting, he put down his hand. The platoon leader Hu, who was still vigilant in front of him, suddenly smiled and took the initiative to pull Wan Changchun's right hand with both hands and held it with great enthusiasm and said, "Expert Wan, Expert Su, I finally have you come. I was really sorry just now. Our army has iron discipline and neglected you. Please don't care, both of you!"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay for Platoon Leader Hu to do this." Wan Changchun replied with a smile, without any reproach in his expression. The space base, that is, Base 781, is a national confidentiality unit. They were reminded before they set off that the special documents they hold must be carried with them to avoid misunderstandings. It was very normal for Platoon Leader Hu to be vigilant and reaction without confirming Su Yichen and others' identities.

"The base leader asked me to pick you up. Thank you for your hard work along the way?" Platoon Leader Hu asked enthusiastically.

"It's not hard to take the train, but the time I've been going through is too late."

"Haha, there is nothing we can do about this. You know, we are very remote here, and the arrangements of military trains have fixed procedures. By the way, our car is there, it's getting late, and we still have to rush. If you can make it convenient, let's set off?"

Wan Changchun knew that there was still many roads to go next, and the journey from Yingtai to 781 base was long and there was still a whole day. In order to arrive at the destination early, Wan Changchun would certainly not refuse the arrangements of Platoon Leader Hu, and nodded happily and agreed.

Su Yichen carried his bag and bent down to take his and Wan Changchun's luggage. Platoon Commander Hu hurriedly reached out to stop him and said that the reason why there were customers coming and he had to carry his luggage himself. Then he turned around and shouted, "Amir, come on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young ethnic minority soldier rushed over and helped to pick up his luggage. Even the bag that Su Yichen was already carrying on his shoulder was snatched away by him, leaving Su Yichen with empty hands a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Comrade Amir." Su Yichen said.
