On the gravel road from Ning City to Yunshan County, a convoy was speeding along.
On the jeep, Yu Zesheng and deputy directors Huang Deming and Ma Tianlun looked at the low villages on both sides of the road, feeling a little depressed.
The reason why they accepted Zhou Yang's invitation this time was, on the one hand, they wanted to know first-hand what the 888 Factory does and whether they are qualified to cooperate with their NPU!
On the other hand, they wanted to see what kind of unit these 40 students would work in in the future, and whether it would be a fire pit.
I originally came to the Mongolian Plateau from the land of Sanqin, but I was very happy to see that it was not as desolate as imagined.
Although there were no sights of wind-blown grass and cows and sheep, there were green crops everywhere, and it could be seen that the conditions in the true north were much better than those in the real northwest.
However, when they got off the train and boarded the motorcade that came to greet them, they found that something was not quite right.
Not long after the convoy left Ning City, the road became bumpy.
Since it had just rained, there was water everywhere on the road. Large trucks had to be careful when passing by, as they could fall into it if they were not careful.
As for the jeep that Yu Zesheng and others were riding in, not to mention, the sound of the road scraping against the chassis of the car could often be heard.
Fortunately, the little jeep was relatively sturdy, otherwise they would have been worried that the car would get stuck in the middle of the road.
What made them even more heartbroken was that as they walked eastward from Ning City, there were fewer and fewer villages, and they looked smaller and smaller from a distance.
When I first came out of Ning City, I saw a large area of nearby villages, with an estimated number of five or six hundred households.
But after walking for dozens of kilometers, the only villages we saw were just a few dozen or even a dozen households.
You don't need to think about it to know that it must be because the natural environment here is not very good and cannot support too many people, so the villages have become so rare.
Although they have not yet arrived at the location of Factory 888, Yu Zesheng and others can tell based on these alone that this is a poor place!
After being silent for a while, Yu Zesheng looked at Gu Chenghua in the passenger seat and asked, "Director Gu, how far is it from your 888 factory?"
"It's not far away. We will reach Yunshan County in another ten kilometers, and our factory is only about 20 kilometers away from the county seat!"
"It's a 30-kilometer journey, and we can get there in about 40 to 50 minutes, right?" Huang Deming also asked.
"That's terrible, it will take at least an hour and a half!" Gu Chenghua said.
As soon as these words came out, Yu Zesheng and others fell silent again.
What kind of place is this? It’s a 30-kilometer road, and it takes an hour and a half to drive. The transportation facilities here are so bad!
The next journey also made Yu Zesheng and others once again feel what it was like to go up the mountain and go to the sea. After the car passed the county seat, the road was worse than imagined.
There are big potholes everywhere, and some roads seem to have been run over by some heavy vehicles. The two sides are particularly deep, but the middle is high.
This road is completely ruined and can't be driven by ordinary cars.
Such an environment not only made Yu Zesheng and others frown, but the students in the big truck behind were also frightened.
Is this where they will stay in the future? It's terrible...
Some girls have already given up before they even arrive.
However, those couples who came together seemed to be mentally prepared and did not panic.
After all, for them, it is good to have a place where they can stay and fly together, no matter if it is a remote place or a paradise!
........
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after more than four hours of arduous driving, Yu Zesheng and others finally arrived outside Babaoliang Village!
However, when they arrived at the outskirts of the village, they immediately discovered that this place seemed different from all the villages they had passed before.
First of all, in addition to low adobe houses, there are also a large number of masonry buildings here. These buildings are generally very tall and large (factory buildings).
Secondly, the crops here are growing more gratifyingly, and no matter what is planted here, they are grown in patches.
For example, in the cornfield in front of them, corn was planted from the moment their motorcade approached the village. When the car drove into the village, all they saw was corn.
After entering the village, Yu Zesheng and others were even more surprised.
Behind the low-rise houses in the middle is a stretch of small red brick courtyards. There are at least hundreds of them at a glance, and these courtyards are all new and seem to be unoccupied.
It is quite shocking to see so many yards in such a remote place.
What shocked them most was that after passing through these small red brick courtyards, what came into view was a group of buildings built on a slope.
Before they even got close, Yu Zesheng and others saw a group of soldiers with live ammunition patrolling around the building complex.
In an instant, they realized that the unit in front of them seemed not simple.
Soon, the motorcade arrived at the gate of the institute!
When the guard on duty at the door saw it was Gu Chenghua, he immediately opened the door and let the convoy in.
After the motorcade arrived at the parking lot in the backyard, Gu Chenghua immediately asked everyone to get out of the car.
After everyone got out of the car, Gu Chenghua said loudly: "Quiet!"
"Now that you have arrived at our 888 Factory, everyone should immediately take your household registration certificate, student file, political review materials and graduation certificate to report to the Personnel Office and go through the entry procedures! Someone will then arrange a place for you to live, and I’ll take you to dinner!”
After issuing the order, soldiers quickly led the group of students to the personnel office not far away.
At the same time, Gu Chenghua said to Yu Zesheng and others: "Director Yu, Deputy Director Huang, Deputy Director Ma and the two professors, please come with me, and I will take you to see Director Zhou!"
At this time, Yu Zesheng and others had already observed the situation in the yard.
Although it looks like a backyard, it is still heavily guarded.
In the places behind that were obviously warehouses, there were actually soldiers with guns standing guard all the time.
There was even a lookout post at the highest point of the courtyard, with a soldier with a loaded gun standing on it.
There are patrols passing by the yard from time to time. With this level of security, even the provincial military compound is not so tight.
At that moment, Yu Zesheng asked with some surprise: "Director Gu, what is your factory doing? Why do I feel like I have entered a military base?"
Gu Chenghua smiled and said: "Director Yu, you should let our Director Zhou answer this question for you!"
"That's fine. I just want to ask Comrade Zhou Yang what his plan is for bringing us all the way here!"
When Yu Zesheng said the word "plot", he deliberately emphasized his tone, which made Gu Chenghua couldn't help laughing.
"Director Yu, his office is in front of you, so you have to ask him carefully!"
While walking and talking, several people soon arrived outside Zhou Yang's office.
Then, Gu Chenghua stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door.
In the office, Zhou Yang was busy continuing to write the theory of the second-generation hepatitis B vaccine. When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately said: "Come in!"
"Squeak!"
As the door of the office was pushed open, Zhou Yang saw Gu Chenghua walking in with several gray-haired old men. The first one was Yu Zesheng from Western Polytechnic University.
Zhou Yang stood up immediately and said with a smile: "I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon every day, and finally I've got you, Director Yu, here. I hope you have a smooth journey!"
"Except that the road from Ning City to your side is not easy to walk, the rest is pretty good!" Yu Zesheng said with a smile.
"That's good...that's good. You guys probably haven't eaten yet. I've asked the cafeteria to prepare meals for you. Let's go eat first!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, we are indeed hungry too!" Yu Zesheng said with a smile.
Zhou Yang immediately said to Xu Linfang, the female secretary next to him: "Xiao Xu, please immediately notify Mr. Guo, Mr. Zheng, Professor Yan, and Professor Yang to go to the restaurant and say that the guests have arrived!"
"yes!"
However, when Yu Zesheng on the side saw Zhou Yang's enthusiastic look, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
If you think about it carefully, when the young man in front of you came to NPU a few months ago, he also received them so warmly.
It's just that he had other plans at the time. He wanted Zhou Yang and the others to take over the two hot potatoes of Gao Tingye and Qi Tongguang!
But what I never expected was that not only did this young man see through their intentions easily, but he also took advantage of the opportunity to beat them and kidnapped 10 more of their students.
Thinking of this, Yu Zesheng couldn't help but feel vigilant, secretly reminding himself, don't follow this kid's way!
But what he didn't know was that Zhou Yang had already dug a hole for them and was waiting for them to come!
