In the conference room of the comprehensive building, the atmosphere was as heavy as the mud at the bottom of the lake. The eleven representatives of the Management Committee, like eleven statues, were sank into the mud pond.
Luo Ling turned a ballpoint pen in her hand. Through the transparent pen body, she could vaguely see that there was not much black ink left, as if she was telling a fact over and over again that the world was getting farther and farther away from them.
“We have no choice!” The only thing talking in the room was Qiu Wenhan, the leader of the science and technology team. After a few days, Luo Ling found that his hair looked like the white ground after burning wasteland, with only a few strands of sparseness left. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have been plowed again, and the gullies became deeper and deeper. “This is not a matter of rebuilding the science and technology and industrial system, but creating a new one! Starting from every formula and every theorem, climbing up from the ditch at the bottom of the mountain step by step. Can this be fast?”
“But the blast furnace is almost built, and you told me that there is a problem with the basic theory of steelmaking?” Meng Guoqiang, the leader of the industrial team, asked.
“We are still making progress very fast. The problem of oxygen blowing has been solved, and it is a little worse in desulfurization.” Qiu Wenhan stretched out a little finger and pinched the above section and said, “I tell you, this is science. Sometimes a little luck is a little worse, so it takes more time.”
“Hmph, just the progress you made before is not the experience provided by Farrell in our group?”
“Okay, Lao Meng, you also know the difficulties of the science and technology group. Everyone sees it all these days and day and nights.” Guo Qian smoothed out.
“Principal, I’m not talking about them. They were the ones who made the promises to make a promise to the breasts, but they were the ones who lost the chains. I said it wouldn’t work. I wouldn’t build two more brick kilns or glass workshops?”
“Old Meng is worried, and there is a reason why he is talking.” The person who spoke was Chu Ying, the head of the business team. “Most of the products we maintain trade now are raw materials and primary processed products. The inventory brought from the earth is almost sold. We must make more fist products as soon as possible. Just relying on some colorful glass bottles and jars and a few pieces of soap made of wood ash, it’s not possible.”
Seeing everyone staring at him, Qiu Wenhan gritted his teeth and patted the table, “Half a month, in another half a month I will definitely see the first pot of molten steel for you!”
“Lao Qiu, don’t be excited. Everyone has no other intentions, it’s all for business. Alas, I think our luck is a bit bad.” Bai Yicheng said hurriedly.
“We are already lucky. The rules of the micro-field have changed, and our bodies and the surrounding houses have not completely collapsed the moment we come to this world. This is a miracle!” Qiu Wenhan said.
“Teacher Qiu, what does this mean?” Luo Ling suddenly asked.
Qiu Wenhan looked at Luo Ling with some confusion, as if she was a little surprised that she would not understand what she meant, but he immediately realized that this was giving him a messageEveryone explained the opportunity, he said, “They make up our bodies are all kinds of compounds, and our bodies are undergoing chemical reactions all the time. If their nature in this world is different from that in our world, why can we stand here instead of spreading into a pool of meat paste or bursting into a ball of fire? These problems have been tormenting members of our science and technology group. Do you know how much white hair we have made these days?!” “Teacher Qiu, take a breath and say slowly.” Luo Ling said softly, “Do you have any guesses about this phenomenon?”
Qiu Wenhan gasped for a few breaths and said, “We have a young man named Mao Kai who made a guess. He believes that there is a particle in this world that will interfere with the progress of all chemical reactions, but this interference is gradual and slow. It takes a long time for the matter from our world to be gradually assimilated by this particle. This explains the problems of our body and is also the reason why we cannot even provide black gunpowder, but the bullets brought by us can still be used here.”
“So, he believes that after a period of time, will there be problems with the launching medicine of our existing bullets?” Luo Ling keenly discovered the key to the problem.
“This… this is just a guess.” Qiu Wenhan said.
“This may not be a speculation.” Wang Jiyuan, who has not participated in the discussion, said, “According to statistics from our escort battalion, several duds have occurred in the past two weeks.”
Most of the people present changed their expressions. Weapons from modern times are their foundation. Now this level of reliance has become less reliable, which is amazing bad news for everyone…
After the meeting, everyone walked out of the conference room with a little more sorrow on their faces. Luo Ling walked a few steps and caught up with Zhou Xiaoren, the intelligence team leader who lowered his head and left, and stopped him sideways, whispered, “Team Leader Zhou, do you have time now?”
Zhou Xiaoren raised his eyebrows, looked at Luo Ling, nodded slightly, and followed Luo Ling into an office on the same floor.
Luo Ling locked the door from the inside after Zhou Xiaoren walked into the room.
Zhou Xiaoren sat on an office desk, while Luo Ling stood opposite him, wrapping her hands on her chest, waiting for the other party to speak.
Zhou Xiaoren touched his chin, thought for a while and said
