Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1

In the desolate Gobi Desert, the west wind was fierce, blowing yellow sand all over the sky. There was no green, let alone any signs of animal activity, and it was lifeless.

Here is a restricted area of ​​life.

“Woo~~” The sound of the train whistle brought the whole Gobi Desert to life.

A steam locomotive with billowing black smoke roared out of the yellow sand.

On the Gobi Desert where birds and beasts are extinct, human industrial civilization exists.

The speed of the steam train was very slow, and it was heading towards the mountains on the edge of the Gobi.

Extending hundreds of miles into the depths of the mountains along the railroad tracks, an oasis suddenly came into view.

In the oasis, a continuous building is looming, and the exterior of the building is yellow sand-like ocher, blending with the surrounding trees, and it is impossible to find a human city in this mountain oasis in the distance.

In this small town, which is generally four-story buildings, huge slogans painted with red paint can be seen everywhere in the direction of the building facing the street: “emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, unite and look forward”, “practice is the only criterion for testing truth”, ” Science and technology are primary productive forces”……

The front of a building in the center of the small city, which is much larger than the surrounding buildings, has a large square. In the center of the square is a tall white marble statue waving a hand.

On the top of the building, a huge slogan “emancipate the mind and seek truth from facts” was erected.

At the entrance of the building, there are several signs with black letters on a white background, the largest of which reads “404 City Management Committee”.

Yes, here is Dongfeng City code-named 404.

In later generations, a city that cannot be found on the publicly issued paper maps, electronic maps, city lists, license plate numbers, telephone area codes, or the list of cities that can be delivered to Taobao.

Code 404, a small town in a prefecture-level city.

404 City has only a code name, no name.

Insiders have their own names for this city that has lived for many years. Some are called Dongfeng City, some are called Hongqi City, and some are called Science and Technology City, because this city that does not exist in the outside world contains the best in China. Technical field.

China’s most advanced nuclear technology research, the most advanced missile technology, the most advanced satellite technology, and the most advanced nuclear submarine technology can all be found in this city.

Although the small town is small, it’s terrific.

Not only the top authoritative experts in various high-tech fields across the country have been gathered, but also the top technical workers in China. Even the logistics staff are the most top-notch!

From the technical mastery of two bombs and one star, to the nine-level fitter who can make the most compact parts by hand, to the top chef of Guanshengyuan, the model salesperson on Nanjing Road, etc., you can see everywhere in this city. .

Looking down from the sky, the entire city, including the periphery, has an area of ​​no more than eight square kilometers. The core living area is less than two square kilometers.

Small but complete. Even the Public Security Bureau, Land Office, Post Office, etc. have everything.

Even in this city, there is a prison with only two cells.

Our story begins with this prison that has only welcomed its first guest since it was built almost twenty years ago.

This guest is only sixteen years old!

In itself, he is not enough to be sentenced, but he may face the death penalty…

~~~Division~~~Cut~~~Line~~~~

As the sun is rising, the people in the base each start a new day of work. The prison has only the only suspect in a room of less than five square meters, still sleeping.

In the conference room of the management committee building not far from the prison, the anger was so suppressed that people could not breathe.

On both sides of the long conference table, sitting on the left is a row of military cadres wearing big caps, with a round Bayi cap badge hung on the caps, and red gold five-pointed star epaulettes on their shoulders; on the right, sitting in a row wearing four pockets An administrative cadre of Zhongshan Clothing.

All the people present, whether military personnel or administrative cadres, all have serious faces.

At one end of the long table, a middle-aged man in his early fifties, wearing black-rimmed glasses covering half of his face and four white-washed canvas overalls, raised his head and gritted his teeth at the heads. He said: “Chief, no matter how much damage Xie Kai causes to the country, I am willing to compensate, he is still a child…”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Compensation? How to compensate? Xie Jianguo, do you know how big the loss of the base is this time? How do you compensate for millions of direct economic losses based on your salary of more than 200 yuan?” The next year the cadre interrupted Xie Jianguo’s words with a stern face, “This is destroying the country’s military industry! It cannot be irresponsible because he is a child, otherwise the kids in the base will follow him in the future, how to manage?”

The officers did not change their expressions, and a middle-aged soldier sitting opposite Xie Jianguo turned his head to look at the highest person in charge of the nearby base.

Xie Jianguo ignored the person who interrupted him and looked at the two chiefs opposite him with hope.

“This time the loss is really serious. There are not many top CNC machine tools in our country. These are broken. For us who don’t have much business, it is even worse…” A thin old man next to the soldier sighed and said softly.

“Director Zheng, I will find a way to repair the damaged CNC machine as soon as possible.” Xie Jianguo said eagerly.

“Fix it? It’s easy to say! How difficult it is for the country to get these CNC machine tools, you, as a competent technician, would not be clear? Millions of precious foreign exchanges were spent, and the Americans did not give any technical information! How to repair?” question. “If it can be fixed, are we here now?”

Xie Jianguo was silent and lowered his head.

The old man in the lead frowned and stared at the thin cadre again, “Secretary Sun Jiaming, let’s listen to what Comrade Xie Jianguo has to say first. He is the technical person in charge and understands the situation.”

“Chief, the production tasks are now heavy, and these CNC machine tools are also responsible for the finishing of key components of new rockets and satellites…” Sun Jiaming said eagerly. “The previous CNC machine tools had problems, and they have not been resolved. Now they are all paralyzed by his son and cannot be used…”

He does not believe that Xie Jianguo has the ability to solve these CNC machine tools.

He is even less willing to take responsibility.

“Can it be solved? How long will it take?” Director Zheng asked Xie Jianguo.

When Xie Jianguo heard this, his eyes were full of hope, and his expression dimmed.

How long can it be resolved?

he does not know.

If it is not resolved, his only son will not only lose his future, but may not even be able to keep his life.

Xie Kai, who was sleeping in the prison, finally woke up quietly.

He just woke up with a splitting headache and looked around in confusion.

“I was drunk last night? Maozi and Xiaoer shouldn’t send me home? Why are you here? The hotel?” The surrounding environment was unfamiliar, and Xie Kai gradually regained consciousness and realized something was wrong.

The room he was in had walls on three sides, no windows, and the side with a door was a steel railing door thicker than a thumb.

The deep memory gradually overlaps with the scene in front of you, how does it resemble the prison of Dongfeng City?

An idea appeared in Xie Kai’s mind, but finally threw it out with a wry smile and shaking his head.

Like movies and online novels, go back in time?

Xie Kai felt that it was too nonsense.

“No, I must be dreaming! I didn’t do anything, how could I enter the detention center…”

I keep thinking about the events of the first night, but I can’t remember how.

Drink pieces!

I can only vaguely remember that the brother Mao Zi, who grew up together last night, wanted to buy a house because of his son’s marriage. The couple’s savings of more than 20 years of work could not even make up a down payment. He asked him when he just came out of prison, and his brothers pooled money to help open it. Xiao Er, the owner of the food stall, drank and complained.

Seems to fight in the end?

Why did they fight?

Xie Kai patted his head, trying to figure it out, but couldn’t remember anything.

While drinking, Mao Zi complained that he devoted half of his life to national defense science and technology work, and as a result, he couldn’t even make up the down payment for his child to buy a house in a big city.

Xiao Er’s grandson seemed to be cursing, saying that young people are not as good as they were when they were young, who were determined to contribute to the cause of national defense science and technology and dedicated their lives, but instead determined to become a star, the boss of Chengda.

Those who engage in missiles are not as good as those who sell tea eggs are a true portrayal of society.

Laughing at the poor does not laugh at the prostitution, and everything looking at money has become the value of most people.

Money is everything that measures a person.

What can those who engage in technology, especially those at the grassroots level, do with such a salary of three or two thousand a month? Maozi’s son is in the capital, and the house price is tens of thousands of square meters. The salary of the couple adds up. Without eating or drinking, they can buy about two square meters a year…

How did it fight in the end?

“Your kid is awake? Let me worry for a while. I knew I would not let the little fat man come in and drink with you!” A thick voice sounded outside the iron railing door, interrupting Xie Kai’s memory sorting.

Looking along the voice, a middle-aged policeman in an eight-three-style police uniform with a big brimmed hat, olive green, red floss in the middle of his trousers, and two red collar badges around his neck was looking at Xie Kai with a wry smile, “You kid If you don’t wake up, I have to take you to the hospital. I can’t afford what happened to you.”

The person in front of him, Xie Kai felt very familiar, but couldn’t remember who the other party was for a while.

“Why do you drink so much that I don’t even remember Lao Tzu? You said you guys are too. It’s okay to do anything bad. You have to mess around and ruin the entire precision workshop of the Hongqi Machinery Factory. This incident shocked the capital. The people from the headquarters and the headquarter are here, and they are discussing how to deal with you!” The middle-aged police officer frowned when he saw Xie Kai staring at him stupidly.

Alarmed the headquarters and logistics department of the aftermarket!

Xie Kai’s memory was like a flood that opened the floodgate, coming surgingly.

It was this day that changed his life with many people.

October 19, 1984, an extraordinary day, for Xie Kai and others and the families of people related to him, because of this day, changed the future.

“No, it’s not a dream!” Xie Kai didn’t believe that he could really be reborn and start again.

I pinched my thigh, it hurts!

“Finally I can change everything!” Xie Kai wanted to return to before this countless times, so that life would never be repeated.
