"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Chang!"

Zhou Tian immediately stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Master Zhou, you are too polite. This is what I should do!"

Chang Wen hurriedly helped Zhou Tiandao up.

After receiving Chang Wen's reply, Zhou Tian left the east wing and returned to the inner house. As expected, within two hours in the afternoon, Chang Wen handed him the newly issued household registration booklet.

With the new household registration book, Zhou Tian submitted an application for marriage to the organization the next day, but the report was not approved until the third day.

Zhou Tian and Shen Yulin’s wedding date was set for three days later.

Three days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was the day when Zhou Tian married Shen Yulin. On the wedding day, Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Hao, Zhou Jun and Zhou Min rode four bicycles with big red flowers on them to pick up Shen Yulin at Shen's house in Mianhua Hutong early in the morning.

After returning, the two first bowed to the teacher's portrait, then greeted the relatives of both sides, and then began the wedding banquet.

Since Zhou Tian and Shen Yulin did not hold a grand wedding, they only invited some relatives and friends to have a simple meal in the courtyard. The chefs were He Daqing and He Yuzhu.

Although it was simple, it made everyone feel satisfied.

At night, when everyone dispersed, they entered the bridal chamber. Zhou Tian, ​​who had gotten what he wanted, worked all night. The next day, when he got up, Shen Yulin was still asleep.

Zhou Tian looked at the sleeping Shen Yulin, who was as beautiful as a pear blossom after the rain. He couldn't help but bend down and kiss her forehead, then walked out of the house and began to wash up.

"Xiaotian, where's Yulin? Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

Li Yuling, who was helping her grandmother in the kitchen, saw Zhou Tian coming out and asked.

"Mom, Yulin was exhausted last night, I want her to sleep more!"

Zhou Tian quickly spat out a mouthful of tooth powder water, looked up and said.

"How can that be? Today is your first day of marriage, how can you spoil that girl like this? No, I'm going to wake her up right now!"

Li Yuling said this and was about to walk towards the west wing.

"No, Mom, just let her sleep a little longer! Besides, we don't have so many rules in our family!"

Zhou Tian didn't have time to wash up at this moment, and hurried forward to stop her. You know, Shen Yulin still looks delicate and weak now. If Li Yuling saw it, not only Shen Yulin, but even he would be embarrassed to death. After all, it was he who caused Shen Yulin to be like this.

"Okay then!" Li Yuling looked at Zhou Tian, ​​seemed to have thought of something, smiled and gave up the idea of ​​​​calling Shen Yulin to get up, and returned to the kitchen.

When it was time to eat, Zhou Tian, ​​under everyone's surprised gaze, gritted his teeth and brought the food into the house, woke up Shen Yulin, and fed her while she kept complaining shyly.

In the morning, after Shen Yulin got up, they both took three days off because they were newly married and started to travel around the city. They left their footprints in Shichahai, Beihai Park, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Old Summer Palace.

After the three-day wedding leave, both of them returned to work as normal.

Steel rolling mill.

"Congratulations, Director. I wish you a happy wedding and a baby soon!"

Early in the morning, Zhou Tiangang rode his bike to the technical department and was surrounded by a group of colleagues from the technical department, who blurted out words of blessing.

Zhou Tian was delighted to hear this.

"Good! Good! Everyone has wedding candy!"

As he spoke, he took out a lot of candies from his backpack and gave a few to each person. After everyone had left, he parked his bike and walked into the office.

Just as he took off his coat, he saw the door opened. Song Weiguo was also smiling, clasping his fists and congratulating, "Director, congratulations on your wedding!"

"Thank you, Weiguo. Here, take it yourself!"

Zhou Tian gestured with his eyes at the candy on the table, then made two cups of tea before sitting down.

"Weiguo, how is the progress of the research institute? When will the chef and experts come?"

It has been nearly ten days since the construction of the institute began, and as the director he has never visited the site, which makes him feel ashamed when he thinks about it.

"Director, the institute has just laid its foundation, and it's still a long way from being completed. As for the masters and experts from the military factory, they will arrive after the institute is completed!"

Song Weiguo smiled, pulled a chair and sat opposite Zhou Tian. He peeled a candy and put it in his mouth while bringing another cup of tea to his front.

"You are really rude, you and Brother Song are indeed brothers!"

Looking at Song Weiguo's actions, Zhou Tian said with some amusement. When he first met Song Weiguo, he thought that Song Weiguo was different from his brother Song Lian, and he looked very serious.

But after this period of contact, he realized that Song Weiguo had the same personality as his brother Song Lian, except that he usually looked serious to people he was not familiar with.

After getting to know him, I realized that this boy and his brother both have a funny heart, but he hides it more deeply than his brother.

"It was you and my brother who led me astray. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. How can I not change when facing you two every day?" Song Weiguo said indifferently.

"Don't wrongly accuse me. I'm not as shameless as your brother. But to be honest, Weiguo, I've been busy with my wedding these days, so I've been a little slack in my research. I'm afraid I'll be busy in the future! I wonder if there are any arrangements from above?"

Zhou Tian looked at Song Weiguo and asked.

"I haven't made any arrangements, but the commander said something that left a deep impression on me. That is, the truth is always within range!"

As Song Weiguo spoke, his expression gradually became serious, and he looked at Zhou Tian with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

"The truth is always within range? I see!"

Zhou Tian listened to Song Weiguo's words, thought for a moment, and understood what he meant.

And when he was planning to research the rocket launcher, he had that idea, but because he was busy getting married during this period, the plan was delayed for a few days. Now that he has a family, it is time to take out those big killer weapons.

However, when he was researching those weapons, he was a little hesitant. Even if he figured it out, how would he solve the problem of transportation and logistics? You know, those weapons are not as easy to transport as rocket launchers and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.

The logistics involved are not a simple matter. Whether it is the requirements for roads or logistics vehicles, there are very high requirements.

And most importantly, this involves a series of knowledge, not just weapons, but also metallurgy, materials, machinery, power, etc. Just thinking about it makes him feel a little headache.

At least he felt that this was not a project that could be completed in a short time.

However, when he thought of the power of the weapon, he couldn't help but feel some anticipation in his heart, hoping that the Bald Eagle soldiers on the battlefield on the peninsula would not be scared by then.

After seeing Song Weiguo off, Zhou Tian began to plan out the type of artillery he wanted to design in his mind, took out a stack of drawings from the drawer, and began to draw.

If you ask which country's artillery was the most advanced during 1951, different people may have different opinions. But in Zhou Tian's heart, there is no doubt that the Bald Eagle's M1A1 howitzer will occupy a place.

The M1A1 howitzer is a large-caliber artillery that was just developed and equipped to the troops by Bald Eagle in 1944.

It uses reinforced steel, has a firing life of 7500 rounds, and is an improvement on the M1 howitzer.

The improved M1A1 howitzer requires 11 people to operate the gun crew, with a caliber of 155 mm, a barrel length of 23 times the caliber, a weight of 5.8 tons, a gun elevation angle of -2 to +63 degrees, and a left and right firing range of 50 degrees. The shell weighs 43.13 kg, the muzzle velocity is 563 m/s, and the maximum range is 14.6 km.

This artillery piece was used by the Bald Eagle in its previous life until 1982 when it was replaced by the M198 howitzer. As you can imagine, the power of this artillery piece was well-loved by the Bald Eagle soldiers.
