"Oh, I'm old and tired. This thing is really not as easy to operate as before..." When the tank drove to an abandoned factory outside the base, Zheng Yucheng sat on the turret and threw his arms and complained.

Xie Kai, who felt so good in a tank for the first time, lay on the turret and didn't want to move.

It's not too far from the garrison to the base.

Sitting in the 59, the old guy Zheng Yucheng was driving at the maximum speed, and the shock absorption effect was not good. The smell of all kinds of engine oil and diesel after heating up made Xie Kai get out of the tank and lie down on the turret to vomit.

I originally thought that if I wanted to be a gunner commander, I would have to turn the turret to find a target and aim at it, right?

When the tank starts moving, your stomach will turn upside down, so where can you think of anything else?

What's more, Zheng Yucheng's skills were not very good. On a road that was originally smooth, the old guy drove erratically and kept making big maneuvers such as steering, braking, and sudden attacks. Xie Kai had already vomited once on the road.

"Is it uncomfortable? How long have you been here? Nearly ten thousand of these things have been produced in China. Tank soldiers train regularly and are in this state every day. You have the ability to change, do you think it is appropriate not to do something?" Zheng Yucheng

Looking at Xie Kai, who was pale and retching on the turret, he asked seriously, not caring about the smell in the air.

"Old Zheng, did you do this on purpose?" Xie Kai stopped calling Director Zheng now.

An angry look on his face.

The old guy is so bad, so bad!

"It's not intentional. During the war, the operations were more frequent than this, and the environment in the tank was worse than this. Especially after the gunfire was fired, the smell of gunpowder smoke inside was difficult to dissipate, and it could even make people's eyes open.

Don't open it..." Zheng Yucheng remained serious.

Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng with hatred and said nothing.

In my heart, I disagreed with his words. The 99 tanks would be better. Thirty years from now, the country’s annual military expenditure will be hundreds of billions of dollars, and it won’t be able to afford much equipment.

Replacing tens of thousands of Type 59 tanks with Type 99 tanks will bankrupt the military.

Otherwise, since the M1 equipment troops were equipped in the 1980s, the US imperialists have only upgraded tanks and not developed new equipment?

"You have this talent, why waste it? We don't expect anything else. Even if we just make the environment inside better and the conditions inside the tank higher, the combat effectiveness will be improved a lot! Although the equipment is important, the people who operate it are more important.

Important.”

Zheng Yucheng's understanding impressed Xie Kai.

No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, they are useless if no one is there to operate them.

Even if it is a drone, doesn't it have to be controlled by the pilots using the keyboard in the command center to fly and perform its mission?

"I don't have any talent! Director Zheng, please don't praise me... The students' task is to go to school seriously, work hard to get into college, learn more knowledge and serve the motherland..." Xie Kai pretended to be serious and said.

"Pa!" Zheng Yucheng slapped the tank turret hard, looking at Xie Kai with an angry face, "Stop talking nonsense to me! Ever since you were in junior high school, you have been skipping school more than in the classroom, thinking that I don't

Know?"

Xie Kai's words really angered Zheng Yucheng.

"Tell me about you. After all, you are considered a child of the base. You grew up in the base. The entire base is also your home. How come you, such a naughty thing, have no feelings for this family?" Although Zheng Yucheng was angry, he was even more angry.

It's helpless. "To serve the country, with your ideological consciousness, you must first do something good. Is this an act of serving the country?"

Xie Kai said otherwise he was not angry yet.

He couldn't accept it when he mentioned it. People like Xie Kai were a scourge to the base.

Once this kind of thinking infects others and everyone in the base thinks about themselves, then there will be a fight.

"I want to live a better life for myself and my family. Is it wrong? If I give without asking for anything in return, who would be willing to give? My parents have dedicated their lives and taught me this way since I was a child. If I made that electromagnetic bomb a while ago, if

If I didn’t come to you myself, would the military be shot if they were interested in the project?” Xie Kai was also angry.

There are really not many selfish people in the base.

In the previous life, the base was unable to develop further and fell into trouble. The selfish people used various means of their own to either use the base's resources to make the first pot of gold and leave, or to get promoted.

As a result, they were left behind.

"Isn't there no execution? Even if the military is not interested in that project, even if it cannot be repaired in the end, it will not be executed. Your parents will enter another project and use their wages to repay the country's losses..." Zheng Yucheng shook his head and said. "This is your father.

He even gave me three thousand yuan for asking me for mercy in private!"

He finally understood that the few days this kid was imprisoned last time had a huge impact on his character.

Zheng Yucheng did not lie, especially when Zheng Yucheng said in front of him that his father gave him three thousand yuan, Xie Kai opened his mouth wide.

"You accepted it? Aren't you afraid that I would report you?" Xie Kai asked in disbelief.

"What the hell, if I take it, how dare you say it? To be honest, I really want to kill you. The only finishing workshop in the entire base has endless work, and tens of thousands of people rely on this workshop to earn wages.

, but you were blown up by me..." Zheng Yucheng raised his eyebrows with a look of displeasure on his face. "But no matter what, you are a child of the base, unless you put the base under serious threat! If you hadn't repaired it in the end and wouldn't have been shot,

Your parents have sacrificed their whole lives, and you can’t even think about it!"

"I will kill anyone who is an enemy of the base!" Zheng Yucheng said through gritted teeth.

Seeing the old man's distorted expression, Xie Kai was heartbroken.

The old guy killed his own son with his own hands. No one would doubt the credibility of this statement.

"You guys are the most naughty group since the establishment of the base, but no one has repaired you, because you could have a wider world and more space for activities... But unfortunately, you are the future of 404,

You are children of the base. You have not had the vast world that children outside have had since you were young, so everyone in the entire base has indulged you..."

"It's not wrong to want to live a good life. Now that the country is engaged in economic construction, the technical performance of the military industry is not high, and it will definitely be eliminated! The bases are gone. Do you think that the families of your friends who grew up together have closed down because of the bases?

, can you live well? If you live well alone and as a family, can you live a solid life?" Zheng Yucheng's words made Xie Kai start to question his own thoughts.

Just because his life was so miserable, he was ready to fight for a better life for himself after he was reborn and had the opportunity.

But is it okay to live well by yourself?

Maozi, an old man in his forties, cried in front of his brother for his son's wedding room; a madman was shot for killing someone for more than 100 yuan; the waiter had to squat in the factory during the most difficult years because he could not make a living by stealing.

were imprisoned; more of the disciples who stayed at the base to take over were living in confusion all day long...

"It's like eating at home. There's nothing in the pot, so who can get more in his bowl? There's no base project, and there's no opportunity for development, how can any of us live a good life? People like Sun Jiaming, don't say anything in the base

It’s unique, and there will definitely not be many! What’s the difference between you kid and him? You know that the base can’t even pay the salary, but you still have to ask for 100,000..."

Zheng Yucheng's attitude softened, but his last words made Xie Kai's heart feel like a knife.

If he hadn't had a mental age of over forty and had experienced a lot, these words would not have touched him at all.

Living again, he knew what he should care about.

You can live a good life, but the people around you cannot live in poverty. Otherwise, you will be people from two worlds.

"This tank belongs to you. It will be parked in this workshop from now on. You can do it with it or not! Walk back by yourself!" After saying that, Zheng Yucheng took off the bicycle hanging behind the tank turret and rode back to the base.

.

I really left Xie Kai here.

Let Xie Kai be speechless and ask the sky.

Zheng Yucheng's words really touched Xie Kai a lot.

No matter what, countless people in the base worked hard for it without expecting anything in return, and the idea itself had already taken root in his bones.

He is also aware of the problems faced by the base now. If it does not change, it will eventually remain the same as before. Except for a small number of processing plants that provide supporting processing to other units, a large number of units will go bankrupt and close down.

Those with skills and experience can still get a job, but as outsiders, they will not be given priority for promotions and salary increases, and they have no chance of sharing a house or something.

Those without skills and experience will be laid off!

Just like the father-in-law, after Mo Qi died unexpectedly, the old man was about to retire soon. As a result, the company couldn't survive anymore and went bankrupt. The man in his fifties went home to farm...

He has the ability to change the future of the base.

Zheng Yucheng said that he did, not because he understood it, but because he was betting on the future of the entire base on their father and son.

The excavator project and the simple four-axis machining center project are all handled by Xie Jianguo alone, and no one is allowed to interfere. From this, we can understand Zheng Yucheng's thoughts.

"Dad, why do you think we live all our lives?" He kept lying on the tank turret until it was almost dark, and Xie Kai went home.

Xie Jianguo actually did not work overtime for the first time.

Faced with their son's question, Xie Jianguo and Liu Xu both looked at him in surprise.

"Son, what's wrong with you? That girl rejected you?" Liu Xu first suspected that his son had been hit by the girl he liked. "I have been preparing to transfer her father to our factory these two days."

Xie Jianguo glared at her and said she was fooling around.

Looking at Xie Kai, he sighed secretly and said seriously, "Everyone's pursuit is different, but everyone will have their own goals. If there is no goal, life will be meaningless... Life is not worth it.

It depends on how great the results are and how good the reputation is. The most important thing is not to forget the original intention. Only by not forgetting the original intention and forging ahead can we achieve success..."

Xie Kai chewed on his father's words for a long time, and suddenly understood what he needed.

"Dad, thank you!" Xie Kai stood up and bowed deeply to his father.
