Chapter 766 The Core Model Appears! 1
Li Huaide casually wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and put on his usual smooth and extremely sincere smile, as he assured the people in front of him:
"Don't worry! Don't worry! Colleagues...leaders, relax! This review process is just a formality, a way to give the higher-ups an explanation, right? We're all doing this for the sake of the work and the project, what principled issues could there be? I'll talk to Team Leader Yang Youning and do the talking! I guarantee it won't affect the normal progress of our project! You all just continue doing what you were doing, don't have any mental burden!"
"Team Leader Li, thank you so much! You're such a wise person!"
"With your words of reassurance, we are relieved! Rest assured, we will fully cooperate with your work!"
Li Huaide chuckled and patted Director Zhao's hand, speaking with a sincere tone as if they were old friends: "Hey, it's all for the sake of national development, let's understand and support each other!"
The ensuing conversation was even more candid. Seeing that Li Huaide was so "cooperative," the group subtly indicated that they couldn't let him "work for nothing" or "suffer injustice," and even offered him a local specialty as a token of their appreciation.
The package contained beautifully packaged wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, top-quality deer antler slices, and even a heavy little cloth bag. When it was casually pushed over and opened, it contained several small, bright yellow croakers.
The two sides chatted amiably in a harmonious atmosphere, as if they were already close "insiders." Director Zhao and his group felt confident that they had found the key breakthrough, completely unaware of a subtle detail.
Beneath the seemingly casual collar of Li Huaide's shirt, a thin, bright red silk thread was faintly visible, the same style as the ones that soldiers at border outposts often wore on their chests to symbolize their beliefs.
After seeing off the satisfied Director Zhao and his entourage, the smile on Li Huaide's face instantly vanished.
"Hehe, these are all very nutritious things. I'll pack them up and take them back to my little darling later..."
As he spoke, he casually prepared to stuff all the ginseng, deer antlers, and small yellow croakers into a large satchel. Just then, a figure silently slid in through the window—it was Old Wang.
Li Huaide casually handed over the satchel: "Hey, Lao Wang, you've come at the right time! Find a way to take these back to that kid Jiang Xia, look how thin he's gotten!"
Previously, Lao Wang had already given Li Huaide and Yang Youning an urgent report on Liu Shicai's suspicious movements, the huge loopholes in the management of Factory 615, and the potential risk of sabotage by enemy agents.
Old Wang bluntly stated that this matter was extremely dangerous and far beyond ordinary corruption, and requested that they use their status as an audit team to try to stall Director Zhao and other leaders, in order to buy time and space for the external investigation.
If they disagree, he will think of another way.
Surprisingly, not only did the enthusiastic Yang Youning agree without hesitation, but even Li Huaide, who was known in the factory for "muddying the waters" and "shrinking the edges," showed a change of heart and displayed the courage he had gained during his time on the frontier. He chose to take on the challenge without hesitation and volunteered to play the role of "feigning indifference to lure the enemy into a trap."
Old Wang took the bag, didn't even look at what was inside, and shook his head seriously: "Old Li, I appreciate your kindness on my behalf. But these things can't be taken out like this now."
He skillfully pulled out several pre-prepared kraft paper file folders from his pocket, carefully categorized the ginseng, deer antlers, and gold bars, meticulously numbered each item, labeled them, noted their origin and collection time, and then put them into the folders.
"Although I don't want to go through all this trouble, this kind of evidence still needs to be kept safe. And every single piece of it must be recorded, because we'll have to settle accounts with them later! You're acting in a den of wolves right now, so you have to step on the right foot every time!"
Watching Lao Wang's professional movements, Li Huaide took a deep breath, nodded, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared.
"I know what's important." He paused, his smooth smile returning, but his eyes were unusually clear. "Don't worry, we're comrades now, so I'll call you Old Wang from now on. I'm good at playing both the good cop and the bad cop. I'll make sure to keep them occupied and create opportunities for you guys to investigate!"
Old Wang patted Li Huaide on the shoulder forcefully: "Well done! Old Li, I didn't expect you to be so reliable at a critical moment! I'll leave things here to you and Team Leader Yang! Leave the outside matters to me!"
"No problem!" Li Huaide snapped his fingers smugly, instantly regaining his shrewd and worldly demeanor. "Just you wait and see!"
"Yeah, I'd be even happier if you removed the 'bar' from the end next time..."
Old Wang smirked and turned to disappear into the shadows outside the window.

"Sir, our equipment is essentially an active electromagnetic wave detection system. It emits electromagnetic pulses of a specific frequency into the ground, and then receives and analyzes the reflected signals."
“Different underground media, such as soil, rock, water, or metal ore bodies, have different electromagnetic properties such as conductivity and dielectric constant, and their reflection, absorption, and attenuation of electromagnetic waves also vary. By analyzing the characteristics of the echo amplitude, waveform, and phase delay, we can deduce the shape and properties of underground objects.”
Engineer Chen explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and Geologist Li nodded frequently as he listened. "Oh, so you need different electromagnetic characteristic parameters! Zhongyi must have called me here to determine these data!"
He then posed a more in-depth question: "However, the underground situation is very complex, and the electromagnetic responses of different minerals often interfere with each other. How do you plan to solve this problem and improve the accuracy of identification?"
Upon hearing this, Engineer Li smiled gratefully, though a little embarrassed. He looked at Jiang Xia beside him, sincerely trying to take the credit: "Boss, to be honest, the biggest breakthrough in this area really owes a lot to Comrade Jiang Xia! If it weren't for his completely new ideas and... and those highly integrated micro-computing components, we wouldn't have been able to implement this recognition and anti-interference algorithm at all. Engineer Jiang, could you explain it to the boss in detail?"
Li's words were both a genuine expression of gratitude and a deliberate attempt to recommend him.
He remembered Jiang Xia's kindness: before, in front of the leaders, Jiang Xia did not take all the credit, but instead brought out the hard work of them, the veteran technicians, so that they also received recognition.
Now, he naturally wants to attribute the core credit for "echo analysis" back to Jiang Xia. After all, everyone knows that being able to "generate waves" is just the foundation; being able to "read waves" is the soul of this project.
However, Li's words, which were clearly meant to be an introduction, did not elicit a timely response from Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia's attention was completely drawn to Chen's unusual state.
Chen's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and his face turned ashen in a short time. His right hand had moved to his lower right abdomen and was pressed tightly against it with his fist.
"Professor Chen!" Jiang Xia immediately interrupted the technical discussion, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Engineer Chen struggled to lift his head, forcing a very weak smile, his tone deliberately light: "No...it's nothing...maybe I ate something a bit greasy this morning, my stomach is sensitive and can't handle meat, it's acting up...sorry, boss, I...I need to go to the restroom right away..."
Jiang Xia's heart tightened, and he immediately gave a wink to the squad leader beside him: "Squad leader, hurry up and accompany Engineer Chen, and take good care of him on the way."
"Yes!" Squad Leader Ru immediately stepped forward, seemingly casually but actually steadily supporting Engineer Chen's arm, and accompanied him as he walked quickly out.
Jiang Xia frowned and turned to Engineer Li, her tone filled with concern: "Is Teacher Chen's condition a recurring problem?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Li's eyes. He opened his mouth, but only let out a deep sigh: "Old Chen... he hasn't been feeling well lately. He keeps saying his stomach is aching, but he always says, 'The project is tight, I'll just tough it out.' A while ago, he stayed up for three nights in a row to calculate those interference parameters, and he didn't even have time to eat a hot meal. I advised him to go to the hospital, but he always said, 'It's a waste of time, I'll just bear with it...'"
"How can we endure this!" Jiang Xia said urgently. "I know Teacher Yu; he has a duodenal ulcer, and his stomach aches when he's really hungry. He always carries some dried radish in his pocket to eat when he's hungry. Teacher Chen's symptoms look a bit like his! Here's what I'll do: I'll try to get some instant noodles from the logistics department. You can make yourself a bowl when you're hungry; at least it'll be warm, which is better than going hungry!"
Instant noodles were a rarity in the 1960s; ordinary people rarely saw them. Upon hearing this, Li's eyes welled up with tears, and he forced a smile: "Then... thank you so much, Jiang, for your kind gesture..."
