This is a question that should be asked in back tone, and it is not surprising in large and small articles. After thinking for a while, she said, "We have never heard her say such a thing."
"Is she dissatisfied with her status?"
"Dissatisfied? Why are you dissatisfied?" Ju Wenjing asked strangely, "Being a life secretary for a senior leader is a good job that I never dreamed of..."
Wang Kai smiled slightly awkwardly: "Don't say why, just say whether it is."
"I've never heard her say that." Ju Wenyi shook her head, "It's just that sometimes it's quite sad to hear her talk about things in her hometown. She said she misses her family."
“What about living and working here?”
"There is nothing dissatisfied. She said she enjoyed it much better than in Italy, but she felt very lonely."
Wang Kai's original intention was not to focus on Valentina. He said these things just to cover up the next topic, so he avoided asking too carefully, lest he asked about some privacy and offended Dong Yizhi.
"Where's Sonia?" Wang Kai pretended to mention his goal casually.
"Teacher Suo? You are a very smart person and beautiful!"
"Chief Wang, you have found the right person!"
It can be heard that these two "apprentices" admire Sonia very much.
Wang Kai followed the routine just now and asked Sonia about her work and life situation one by one, and the two girls also answered accurately.
He was satisfied with the results and Sonia was very enthusiastic about her work and studies. Naturally, she had no words of dissatisfaction with the Senate and the senators.
"Does she have children?"
"I have a daughter who is eight months old. She is so cute." Ju Wenyi's eyes sparkled. "Unlike our children, her skin is very white and tender. She just wants to take a bite when she looks at it. Her eyes are surprisingly big. , bigger than a walnut!”
"Does she like children?"
"Of course I like it. How could I not like it?"
Wang Kai wanted to ask: Is Sonia's family life harmonious? But he thought for a while and didn't ask. Instead, he asked a few circumstantial questions to determine whether Lin Hanlong's relationship with her was harmonious.
After some inquiring, it was found that although Lin Hanlong and her spent less time together and more separation due to work, their relationship with each other should be fine, at least they had not heard any complaints from Sonia. Sometimes it is mentioned that Lin Hanlong is "very knowledgeable" and "very caring". How to describe this kind of emotion? It seems inappropriate to call it love, but the affection between family members is still very strong.
He also asked about several outings for inspections, especially whether Sonia’s mood was abnormal before and after the inspections. He also received a positive response:
"She was very happy before going, saying that she was a bird out of the cage."
Wang Kai's scalp felt numb: "What about after you come back?"
"I was even more happy after I came back. I said I was rich."
"That's right, I brought back many, many specimens, and they all treat them as treasures."
"The museum had not yet been built at that time, so she worked in the exploration team's studio making specimens and cataloging all night long. Later, it was Chief Cui who forced her to go back and she got off work."
"She came again the next afternoon. Hahaha."
…
Wang Kai breathed a sigh of relief: He was at least five points sure about talking to Lin Hanlong about this matter next!
After inquiring about Sonia's affairs, he casually chatted about a few more people, and then put the materials into his bag.
"Thank you both for your cooperation. I ordered you some sugar water. You can eat it before going back. Be careful on the way. I'll take my leave now."
When Wang Kai returned to his home, he originally wanted to light these materials and throw them into the stove. After thinking about it again, he sorted them out and put them in a document bag - it would be more appropriate to send them back to the company for filing.
He only accepted this task because he was entrusted by others, which was somewhat reluctant. But after talking with Ju Wenyi and Ju Wenjing, it was revealed from the side that this Portuguese is not only knowledgeable but also very capable. If you can join the expedition team, you will be a capable person. .
With that being said, she should still be won over. Wang Kai thought, he must take down Lin Hanlong next!
However, when Wang Kai went to Lin Hanlong's glass factory the next day, he was in vain. People in the factory said that he had gone to do "secret work."
"Secret work?" Wang Kai was completely confused. Didn't he hear that Lin Hanlong had any connection with the intelligence unit? Although the optical factory provided a large amount of technical equipment to the military and police, he himself was a purely technical person and was not involved in the specific affairs of these departments.
"Then where are the others?"
"According to regulations, the whereabouts of the leader are kept confidential." The answer was very straightforward.
Wang Kai knew that he couldn't find anything at the Optical Factory, so he had to ask around at the mechanical department. Finally, he learned from Yuan Haowen of the Weighing Instrument Factory that he was going to preside over the test and finalization of the ship-borne rangefinder.
"I advise you not to go looking for him. Although the test site is in Ma Niao, it is a military controlled area. You have to apply for a pass to go. He should come back after you have applied."
"Okay, let's just consider it as a blessing in disguise." Wang Kai said helplessly.
To the east of Lingao Hongpai Port is a peninsula deep into the sea, sandwiched between Hongpai Island and Mayao Peninsula. The tip of this peninsula is a large coastal mudflat, covered with mangroves and wild shrubs, and sparsely populated. After the Senate established the military base of Magiao Fort on the Magiao Peninsula, this area was classified as a "military land". Local residents were gradually moved away, and multiple training grounds were set up in the area, which became the base of the military base. part.
Army engineers built many roads here as part of their training. Most of these roads lead to various training venues, and a few intersections are blocked by roadblocks and guarded by guards. Most of these roads lead to some important testing site.
At this time, if Wang Kai comes here, he can show his pass to the guard at a certain intersection and then walk along the dirt road to a floating dock on the seaside. Here a group of people are busy around several strange-looking machines.
Li Di was examining the machine in front of him. This machine is like a capital T, with a horizontal pillar as thick as a large tree stump resting on an equally thick pillar. The horizontal column is very long. If an adult man holds one end with his hand, he will not be able to reach the other end no matter how much he stretches his hand. If you look at it from the direction of the sea, you can see two translucent circular glass windows on the side of this horizontal column. If you go around to the back of the window, in the center of the horizontal column is a pair of small protruding cylinders, also inlaid with shiny glass. If you look carefully, you can see a number of knobs, reading plates, etc. under the small cylinder. At this moment, someone opened the mechanism on the horizontal pillar, and it turned out that it was hollow inside. Li Di stretched out his hand and touched it, and said with a smile: "It's actually granite, thank you, Old Lin, for thinking that."
Lin Hanlong was wearing a locally made blue cloth work clothes. Although it had been washed, traces of oil and dirt could still be seen on it. He smiled bitterly: "There is no other way. It took me a lot of brain cells to come up with this."
The optical equipment in front of him is a two-meter naval rangefinder he recently made. The Navy has been clamoring for this thing for a long time. But he never did it. Instead, he made many optical instruments that were urgently needed in industry and agriculture. The reason why he didn't make this thing was not because of how difficult it was technically: the structure of a rangefinder was not much more complicated than that of binoculars, but the limitations of materials and processing methods prevented him from making it. So I have been putting it off until recently.
The first is the base as the distance measurement reference, which should be made of Invar alloy with a low expansion coefficient. Inquiries from the metallurgical department revealed that Invar alloy cannot be made because there is no nickel. There is no nickel because the Senate does not have nickel ore in hand. According to the results of inquiries from the trading port, it is not feasible to import nickel ore from Southeast Asia because no one is mining it now. In the past, if the Senate wanted to mine on its own, it would have to send out exploration teams and miners to be protected by force. This expense was too great for the cash-strapped Senate; now Nanyang Company has promised to go to Southeast Asia to mine non-ferrous metals, but it is not known when it will be mined. . After all, the company has just been established.
Lin Hanlong certainly knows how long a company takes from establishment to project completion. What's more, this is still a mine. If you are unlucky and the mine is inland, it will take several years just to deal with road supporting projects. So he had to consider the local method first.
After checking the expansion coefficients of various materials, Lin Hanlong boldly decided to use granite to make the base. As a solid, corrosion-resistant stone with a small expansion coefficient, granite has been used to replace the bases of many equipment in the Senate's industrial system. His optical factory has already upgraded many equipment to granite bases. The heavy granite effectively isolates external vibrations, improving the quality of the optical assembly.
In order to ensure that the slender granite base, which had been carefully carved and polished by stonemasons, would not fall apart in the turbulence of the sea, he used an interference fit to fit the outside of the granite with a cast iron sleeve. He planned to see if this would work. .
Li Di watched Lin Hanlong make some small adjustments to the rangefinder, and then called a young naval officer behind him to come forward and continue the operation. He felt that the rangefinder seemed to be of good quality. At least it could see things clearly and brightly, which was better than the Lingao-made binoculars owned by the Navy.
Thanks to the large number of people brought back by Operation Engine, Lin Hanlong was able to pick out some professional craftsmen from the flow of people arriving at Lingao. These people have many years of experience in grinding and polishing everything from jade to bronze mirrors, and they are not lacking in patience and touch. After they learned how to grind optical lenses and were assisted by modern quality inspection methods, they soon became the best lens grinders. Relying on these masters, Lin Hanlong can now grind high-quality special lenses in small batches. What is installed on the rangefinder this time is the trial product they made, and its quality is obviously higher than the batch product.
