After only staying in the capital for a few days, Zhu Xuefeng left quietly again.
I visited the military port city of Norfolk again. Apart from the fact that there are no tours at the military port and the security is tighter, there seems to be no other changes in the city.
When they came to the beach villa again, Zhu Xuefeng's unexpected arrival surprised the two Yang sisters. Looking at the two sisters who were still in the dark, Zhu Xuefeng could not muster the courage to tell them that he was the bully and powerful man. , I just had a few phone calls with Mr. Jin, went out again for a few days, and then left quietly.
A new semester has begun again, and Zhu Xuefeng has resumed his peaceful study and research career. However, the naval base in Norfolk, where he left not long ago, is in chaos again.
"What did you say? This is true."
"Your Majesty General, it is indeed true. Our search ship found a missing person near an uninhabited island in the Bermuda Islands. There are two destroyers, and there are also many missing people comatose on the island. Yes, they are the destroyers of the USS Eagle aircraft carrier group. "
The Bald Eagle, who was unwilling to give up, still did not give up the search these days. There was an unexpected harvest this time. The general's eyes widened. It was unbelievable. Historically, it was also nearly a month later when the missing ship appeared. However, except for a dying parrot, no one was alive. So many appeared this time. Missing persons, it seems that the mysterious Bermuda Triangle is about to be unveiled.
On a dark night, two destroyers that had been missing for nearly a month quietly returned to the naval base. More than two thousand ignorant navy personnel, both officers and soldiers, were tightly controlled and were not allowed to In contact with the outside world, they are subject to detailed questioning and confidentiality in the interests of the United States.
Bald Eagle's investigation departments and intelligence agencies swarmed in to interrogate and detect polygraphs on all naval soldiers who returned unexpectedly, and to carefully examine the ships that returned unexpectedly to see if there were any clues.
"Sir, I swear, the moment before I passed out, in the dark sky, the moment lightning pierced the darkness, I saw a saucer-shaped aircraft hovering above the fleet."

"UFO?" The investigators looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Many soldiers insisted that they had discovered UFOs, and a few soldiers said they discovered a huge whirlpool in the ocean before they fell into coma.
"Oh, God, this is definitely an amazing discovery." The investigators quickly recorded that this is an amazing discovery. According to European legends, there are sea whirlpools similar to the "Gateway of Time and Space" in the ocean. It seems that this legend may not be just a myth.
Unfortunately, as the investigation continued, the huge search fleet that was summoned again found nothing and returned without success. It seems that there are certain conditions that need to be met for the emergence of the "Gateway of Time and Space".
At the same time, all the rescued persons insisted that they woke up in this sea area again and had not come into contact with any ships or people before being investigated. This seems to be very consistent with the legendary two-way "gate of time and space" characteristics.
The intelligence personnel who had been busy for a long time handed the compiled records to the director, who looked at them again.
“No updated information?”
“Unfortunately, no. Of the 2,337 people, 2,298 lost consciousness without any discovery, 14 people insisted that they had discovered UFOs, and 25 people said that there were huge whirlpools on the sea, and these people all passed the polygraph test."
The director also asked helplessly, "What about the rear admiral, what did he say?"
"Webber? General Stern said that he lost consciousness inexplicably without any discovery, and woke up again on an uninhabited island. "
The intelligence officer seemed to smile and added, "The general is not in a good mood. He strongly demanded that the control over them be lifted. They just encountered force majeure. It was a mysterious force that caused this disaster. He was not wrong."< br>
"Damn, there are still more than 2,000 people who have not been discovered. He fell into a coma without making any discovery. A huge fleet disappeared because of his command. His denial cannot cover up his dereliction of duty."
The intelligence officer shrugged, "Maybe, Mr. Director, should we report this to Mr. President?"
The Director sat down, "General Webster will undoubtedly be Sent to a military court, such a big accident needs a suitable hapless person to be responsible."
"Mr. Director, we have made no progress in the investigation, will Mr. President..."
"Mr. Director? "What you said is very vivid. These soldiers all said that they seemed to have just woken up from a sleep. It seemed that time had really stopped. To them, this month or so did not seem to exist at all."
The director was also helpless, "Damn it, let the president and his think tank have the headache, we can only do this."
After reading the reports of the Investigation Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau, Mr. President was also very worried. The soldiers who unexpectedly returned were better off not coming back. How to keep them secret and how to explain to the families of the more than 2,000 soldiers who failed to return? The White House was brightly lit for a long time, and countless people had trouble sleeping and eating.
Time flies by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the semester is coming to an end, and the time has come to July of 1964.
Zhu Xuefeng bought some coffee, bread, mashed potatoes and grilled sausages. It was night now, and this was the best thing to buy. This was prepared for senior Jiang Zhiming and senior brother Wang Xiangdong, who are now working day and night to complete the shield machine project. .
In fact, what the three of them have to do sounds very simple, but it is really not easy to do it. The working principle of the shield machine is very simple, not to mention that there are some information and scrapped machines for reference. It should not be It’s too difficult to calculate.
But the machines and materials were all from before World War II. Nowadays, machinery and electronics have made great progress. In order to make the most of the existing mature technology, the three of them still worked hard for a year. Some The three of them jointly funded new ideas to be experimentally verified in the school's laboratory. Even with the professor's help at any time, the three of them still spent a lot of effort.
"Come on, come on, let's take a break first and eat our midnight snack before we talk. You can't make a revolution when you're hungry."
In a simple workshop, two people were making parts. Assemble, these are scaled-down model components. Today we need to verify the rationality of a certain functional design.
Wang Xiangdong wiped his sweat. On a hot day, only the ceiling fan was spinning in the large workshop. There was also a large industrial fan not far away. The three of them did not dare to use it. It was too powerful. After using it, there is no room for any drawings in the workshop, and they all have to be rolled away.
"Xiaofeng, you are doing this on purpose. It's strong coffee again. Last time I drank your strong coffee, we both were not sleepy until after three o'clock. You tricked us to death."
< br>Although Jiang Zhiming said this, he still took it unceremoniously and took a shallow sip regardless of the hot coffee. "Come on, you got it cheap and behaved well. If you didn't like drinking this, you think Xiaofeng bought this thing specially. If he was thinking about me, he would bring back a few bottles of beer. It's better to drink some beer on this hot day. It’s cool, it’s already hot, but you still like to drink hot coffee, it’s really unreasonable.”
Wang Xiangdong joked with a smile from a distance, and Zhu Xuefeng also laughed.
"You can't say that. Senior brother, why don't you take this sip? Forget about the beer, you still have to work. When you succeed, please drink as much as you can."
"That's right, I won't give him this cup. , look at him and laugh at him, go drink his beer, the coffee is not his, and I don’t think two cups are too much.”
Jiang Zhiming rolled his eyes at Wang Xiangdong angrily, but Wang Xiangdong just laughed dryly this time and did not dare to return the favor. Jiang Zhiming took another sip and praised.
"Yes, this should be bought outside the school. It is much better than the one at school."
"Sister Jiang, I know how you choose the taste of coffee. I bought it once at school. How dare you buy it again? Go, this is grinded by the hotel outside the school. I think it tastes good and you should be satisfied. I have made an agreement with them and I will pick it up every night.”
“It’s available every day. It’s not cheap, it’s only one mark a cup in the school.” (One ruble is exchanged for 2.49 East Marks, the exchange price within the camp)
“It’s okay, it’s not expensive, you two are working so hard, you can’t get anything good. , get some coffee to refresh yourself.”
Wang Xiangdong also put down the work in his hand, walked over with a smile, picked up the sausage in one hand, wrapped the bread in paper with the other, and each took a bite. He picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"It's hard for you. It's still scalding hot after we got it from so far away. I even suspect that you brewed their coffee powder at the door and brought it in. It's even hotter than the coffee you bought on campus."
Dun, I was careless. Zhu Xuefeng thought it was troublesome to carry hot coffee, so he just brought it to the space.
"Just guess, how is it? Did it go well this time?"
Wang Xiangdong took another bite of the sausage, "It's finally done. Let's use this thing to make a hole there. You can go there yourself. Look, the effect is good this time. The machine designed by Xiaojiang is perfect. If the cement was not up to standard last time, it should have been successful last time. "
"Stop talking about useless things. It was also exposed last time. Some problems, I would say, were a blessing in disguise last time. Fortunately, they didn't work out. Otherwise, those hidden dangers would have been covered up, and when the country found out, this person would be in great disgrace."
Jiang Zhiming shook his head. , but it didn’t work out at the time. I went back and checked the drawings carefully, and found three imperfections. I also tore off a small piece of bread as I spoke. Mechanical work is not very friendly to girls, and she has a slender body. Jiuya was a little hungry. He held the grilled sausage in one hand and the bread in the other, and began to chew slowly.
The purpose of this experiment is to quickly solidify the cave wall after excavation. The requirements for solidification are relatively high. None of the three are professional in this field, and there is very little description in the information. After all, this is not the scope of industrial automation. People also took some detours, and finally realized that it was impossible for ordinary cement to meet the standards.
Then I checked the information again to find new cement that met the conditions. Fortunately, no one regarded the cement ratio as an important secret. It was in the information, but the three of them could not find this kind of cement on the market. Cement, the three of them could only buy the most primitive materials. After many attempts, they finally succeeded.
"Senior sister is tired, thank you for your hard work. I will go out after school tomorrow, try to get some more ham, bake it and bring it back to reward everyone."
These two are the same as Zhu Xuefeng , in addition to normal studies, they also had to digest the information on the shield machine and the working principle of the scrapped machine day and night. In less than a year, the two of them had obviously lost weight. It is said that they both received high subsidies. This situation should not happen at all, this is East Germania.
Among the countries in Eastern Europe, East Germany's development is quite good, and its comprehensive national strength ranks among the top ten in the world. Although its economy is not as good as that of the west, which is separated by a wall, it is not lacking in supplies, and various technologies are even more relevant. There is not much difference between the west side and the opposite side in many aspects, especially biology, medical care, pharmaceuticals, etc.
"I'm so sorry. We agreed that we would invest in this project together, but you ended up paying more than half of it. Now you are spending your own money to treat us to late-night snacks every day. I doubt whether your subsidy is enough."< br>
"You really guessed it right. When I came out, I brought a lot of rubles, and I changed them into marks before changing planes in Moscow. I raised all this money just to buy some treasures back here. No, if our shield The structure is complete, and it’s a big treasure, haha.”
“You’re right, the technology here is still comprehensive, let’s talk about the cement this time, the kind we are working on now. Cement has a very fast solidification speed. Once it is dug in the front, it will start to solidify quickly in the back. We have already determined the proportion, which should not be available in this country.”
“Yes, this is an unexpected treasure, Xiang. Dong, you have made a great contribution this time. You will definitely need it in the future, not to mention other things, it should be useful for various projects."
Jiang Zhiming put down the bread and asked her to finish most of it in a while. Knowing that this bread was enough for an adult, she started to attack the mashed potatoes again, expressing emotion while eating.
“Don’t say that, this is not my fault alone, it is the work of our team.”
“If we succeeded this time, there won’t be much difficulty in the rest, right? When will you two finish this part?"
Zhu Xuefeng also took a sip of coffee and asked casually.
"We are ashamed to say that the electronics field of automation is not as good as your material study, but it is faster. If there are no accidents, it will take two weeks. We can complete the final draft in two weeks. If we don't do it anymore It’s over, we don’t have time.”
“That’s good, it’s half a month earlier than expected. Come on, let’s have coffee instead of wine, and wish us success in advance!” Jiang Zhiming didn’t like it! Wang Xiangdong thinks so much.
"We work in groups of three, and we have different divisions of labor. What's the comparison?" Zhu Xuefeng finished speaking and raised his coffee.
"Yes, I wish us success!" The two of them also raised their glasses quickly.
“We come together for a common goal, come and wish us success.” Jiang Zhiming emphasized again.
Three cups of coffee clinked together, and what came together were three young hearts as hot as coffee. The eyes of the three of them were full of passion and fighting spirit. Zhu Xuefeng was infected by their fighting will. People in this era do have great ideals. For this ideal, no matter how hard it is, no matter how difficult it is, they will move forward without any conditions.
