Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Are you...are you sure it's a paper on military equipment?"

Xu Bin took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat from his head.

Lin Kaifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Team Leader Xu, I translated the paper. How could I not know whether it is a military paper?"

"That's true."

Xu Bin dropped his handkerchief, tremblingly took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Damn it! First the book cover was wrong, and then they handed out a military paper as an ordinary industrial paper. This is going to kill me."

Xu Bin took two deep puffs.

The aftermath of the chaos can be seen everywhere.

First, English book covers appeared, covering professional books from the island country.

Next, a military paper appeared among a large number of ordinary papers.

What on earth are those people above thinking?

Regardless of whether the content is important.

Once it is related to the military, small things will become big things.

"Team Leader Xu, you'd better call right away and ask the city to send someone over to take the two papers away."

"Yes, yes, I am so anxious that I am confused."

Xu Bin put out his cigarette and asked Lin Kaifeng to wait in the office.

He ran out in a panic and contacted the publishing house in the city.

Not long after, Xu Bin returned to the office with a strange expression.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, the Municipal Industrial Press, which delivered the work, said that this military paper is just an ordinary armor theory paper and does not involve important content. It was given to the county for translation in order to be used as a reference for the troops."

"Why do you think it involves advanced military equipment?"

I went out to make a phone call with trepidation, and the reply I got was that it was a false alarm.

Industrial Press was not wrong.

Although the submitted paper was a military paper, it was not confidential.

If it is really a confidential military paper, foreign countries will not sell it to Longguo.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Team Leader Xu, if it's convenient for you, you'd better take a look at my translation first."

"After reading this, you may understand a little bit."

"Okay, I'll take a look first."

Xu Bin returned to his seat and sat down, lighting a new cigarette.

Invite Lin Kaifeng to sit opposite.

The city is about dozens of kilometers away from the county seat, and the people from the publishing house will arrive in a while.

Expert review completed.

Lin Kaifeng may get the money today.

In the past, the county would send people to the city to deliver the documents, and then bring the money and tickets back after they were reviewed by the publishing house.

This time, the publishing house sent someone directly over.

This saves a lot of time going back and forth.

Soon, the smile on Xu Bin's face disappeared.

His brows were furrowed and his expression was serious.

"Oh my god! The author of the paper is exaggerating. The secret armor of the British Empire may be made of ceramics."

"What else can we say? Its appearance will bring about a huge change in the field of tank armor."

"It is difficult for contemporary armor-piercing bullets to penetrate this kind of ceramic armor. This is simply alarmist!"

Xu Bin put down his paper and asked, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, do you believe that ceramics can defend against tank shells?"

Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly and said, "Team Leader Xu, you and I are both soldiers, don't talk nonsense about this. The comrades in the army know better than us."

"Well, you're right, this is indeed not something we understand."

“But I still think it’s too exaggerated.”

Xu Bin shook his head and said, "Every household has ceramic products. For example, the bowls we eat from are made of ceramic. Ceramics can defend against all attacks from tank shells. Foreigners are too alarmist and exaggerated."

Lin Kaifeng smiled but said nothing.

Composite ceramic armor has indeed led the trend in tank armor design.

Chobham Armor from the British Empire.

It really does, providing super strong defense that other tank armor cannot achieve.

The reason why this paper from a well-known American armor expert is not taken seriously.

The reason.

Even the United States and the Bear Country do not believe that ceramic armor can replace homogeneous steel armor.

It was not until several years later that the Chobham Armor was officially unveiled.

The whole world was shocked.

It instantly became the world's only composite armor.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, with a talent like you, why don't you go to college?"

Xu Bin suddenly changed the topic to Lin Kaifeng's future.

Even a half-baked person like Sun Bowen could successfully get into university.

There is no reason for a talent like Lin Kaifeng to continue staying in the educated youth center.

As for the issue of his birth, Lin Kaifeng's parents have been "liberated".

Logically speaking, he can take the college entrance examination.

Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly and said, "I'm married, and my daughter was born not long ago. I think Team Leader Xu can understand."

Hearing this, Xu Bin showed an expression of admiration on his face.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, I call you Kaifeng, you don't mind, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Xu Bin closed the door and said with admiration: "Kaifeng, my son was also an educated youth sent to the countryside. I also know about your situation as an educated youth."

"The brat cried and shouted that he wanted to go to the countryside to work as a production team member to support rural construction. Last year, he pretended to be sick and returned to the county, saying that life in the countryside was more torturous than purgatory."

"I heard that some educated youth pretended to be sick to gain connections and use backdoors in order to return to the city. It can be said that they would do anything to achieve their goals."

"Is it possible to return to the city? Run to the city without hesitation."

"The educated youth who married and had children and settled down in the local area even abandoned their wives and children, completely treating them as a burden."

Xu Bin had just been "liberated" and had returned to the county to work for about two years.

I know nothing about the situation of the educated youth below.

After listening to his son's story, Xu Bin couldn't believe his ears.

In order to return to the city, the educated youth used all kinds of tricks.

He swallowed red phosphorus from matches, broke his own bones intentionally, and rushed to do hard labor just to tire himself out to the point of urine bleeding.

more than this.

In the coldest days of winter, he stood in the snow wearing a vest and shorts, and deliberately poured cold water on himself.

Or they might write letters or make phone calls to force their parents in the city to retire early and give up their jobs so they can take over.

If my parents don’t agree, I’ll threaten them with death.

According to the return policy.

If the educated youth got married locally, they would not be able to return to the city.

The household registration will be moved from the town to the village where the worker was sent to work.

Some educated youth who had families were cruel enough to break off all ties with their wives, either through coercion or bribery.

Even if they already had children, these educated youth didn't even blink an eye.

Lin Kaifeng lowered his head, his face burning with pain.

I am one of them.

Xu Bin said unhappily, "If you ask me, even if these bastards return to the city, they will never have an easy life."

"My wife and children will not let him go on their own conscience!"

"If you don't want to stay in the countryside, why do you want to get married and have children?"

"These bastards all deserve to die."

"On the contrary, educated youth like you, Kaifeng, who value friendship and loyalty, are really rare."

Xu Bin softened his tone and praised Lin Kaifeng for his loyalty and righteousness.

This is a real man.

Even though he has lived two lives, Lin Kaifeng is still embarrassed.

"Team Leader Xu, Vice President Huang of the publishing house is here."

Just then, shouts were heard outside.
