Chapter 407 The Rising Sun

After the afternoon's end, Bai Nuo asked Hong Chuangen, the captain of Team Four, to take both teams back together, while she herself turned around and went home.

He left a message for the orderly who had returned early to prepare dinner, then turned and went straight into the study.

When Zhu Kaixuan returned from get off work and wanted to find his daughter, he was blocked at the bottom of the stairs by his orderly.

Xiao Li knew all too well who the real king and queen were in this household. Outside the house, he was still the commander's orderly, following the commander's orders. But inside the house, the only one who truly held sway was Comrade Bai Nuo.

"Not even eating?" Zhu Kaixuan frowned, but didn't blame Xiao Li. After all, it was he who said that his daughter should be in charge of the household chores. But... she can't just not eat.

"Nono said she had something very important to do. After she came back, she went to her study and said that we didn't need to call her for dinner and that we could eat by ourselves. She has plenty of snacks and pastries, as well as malted milk powder and milk powder, so we won't go hungry."

Hearing this, Zhu Kaixuan sighed with melancholy. His daughter had grown up and was a very capable and independent young woman. As her father, he would naturally support her wholeheartedly in everything she did. However, his heart, as an old father, was filled with worry.

How can you not eat properly!

"How about we set aside a portion of dinner and keep it warm on the stove so Nuonuo can eat it when she gets hungry tonight?" The guard walked in, carrying two large wooden bowls filled with Huahua's and Fugui's dinner.

“Okay.” Zhu Kaixuan nodded and looked at Xiao Li and said, “Xiao Li, if you stay tonight, don’t go back to the dormitory. If there’s any noise tonight, please heat up some food for the child. I’ll give you half a day off tomorrow morning so you can catch up on some sleep.”

Two small side rooms were also built on the left side of the courtyard. These rooms were specifically prepared for the guards and orderly soldiers around the leaders. In this military compound, only the family quarters of officers at the division commander level and above would be equipped with such side rooms.

"dad!"

Bai Nuo's voice suddenly came from the second-floor stairwell. Before Zhu Kaixuan could speak, his daughter continued, "Let Brother Wang and Brother Li stay at home recently. Apart from Fang Meng and Pang Guowei, the commander of the 38th Division Independent Regiment, don't let anyone into our house."

It was inconvenient for her to stay in the space for a long time, so she could only draw in the study. It was no secret that she had a talent for mechanical research. After all, the new generation of engines and walkie-talkies had already been put into use nationwide for prevention and control. This matter could be easily investigated without finding out.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, she felt she should come out and tell her father that there was still a stinky rat hiding in the family compound.

"My dear daughter, what's wrong? What are you doing? Can you tell Dad?" Zhu Kaixuan looked up at the second floor and suddenly realized that his daughter had inherited her father-in-law's scientific research talent and had been taught by him from childhood. The fact that she had suddenly locked herself in the study must mean something important had happened.

Bai Nuo naturally wouldn't hide anything from Zhu Kaixuan. Her father held a high position of power, and behind him was an even more powerful old man named Zhu. If she wanted to successfully develop the new weapon, having her father backing her up would make things much easier.

Bai Nuo ran up to the second floor with her sketchbook, first tearing out the pages with drawings of the training uniform and handing them to Zhu Kaixuan.

Although this thing looks simple, just a set of clothes, it is, after all, a new type of weapon that breaks through existing military equipment. It is truly a case of "whoever wears it knows how good it is." After it was developed, it could be considered a military achievement. The credit for the research belongs to her, while the credit for leading the promotion and production goes to her father.

She and Fang Meng are still young and have plenty of time to accumulate military merits and get promoted. Old Zhu is not young either, and he has suffered in the deep mountains for more than ten years. If he can avoid going to the battlefield in the future, he should not go. But she absolutely cannot let her father slack off in his position as army commander.

She's not even forty yet, the age when she should be striving. As long as her father continues to rise in rank, her, Fang Meng, her older brother, and her older brother Bai's position in the military will be more secure.

The four of them used to think about taking advantage of Lao Fang, but now they think better of it. Lao Zhu is more reliable. Lao Fang is easily swayed and has an old vixen by his side. He's not reliable at all.

The drawing paper that Bai Nuo gave to Zhu Kaixuan not only had pictures of training uniforms and bedding, but also carefully specified which material was most suitable for making them.

This included more than just simple equipment like training uniforms and magazine pouches. She also took advantage of the afternoon when Hong Chuangen was supervising and helping the five teams to swing in the mountains to calculate the research and development data for the new bulletproof vests and helmets.

According to the information she found, the bulletproof vests currently available in China were produced in 1964. They are made of fiberglass plates in an armor-like splicing design, weigh 6-7 kilograms, and are specifically designed for riot control units. They are not suitable for conversion into bulletproof vests for field use.

Another type was developed in 1966. That one was lighter, but it could only withstand attacks from steel ball bullets, making it unsuitable for use by their field army.

The data she calculated that afternoon was intended to bring the Type 79 bulletproof vest to market ahead of schedule.

It is also the only one that can combine the existing tempered materials in China and upgrade these materials to develop a new type of steel protective layer to make this new bulletproof vest and bulletproof helmet.

She wrote down all the necessary data very clearly, essentially handing over the correct answer and solution process to the military factory research institute. If they still couldn't produce what she wanted...

She thought her father should be able to gather some researchers again.
