A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 544 What the Russians can do, I can do too!

After thinking about it, Jiang Xia chuckled foolishly twice.

"Brother? You have a plan?"

"do not have!"

"Tch, then what are you laughing at!"

Jiang Xia, seeing the disdain in his sister's eyes, waved to the courtyard and called out, "Brother Hongjun, come here for a second!"

Today, Liu Hongjun drove the "Flying Cat Car" with two leaders and some people from the Ministry of Culture for quite a while.

At first, he was quite happy. Every time he landed, he would show off to the villagers. In particular, he made a great deal of joy when he promised some teenagers that he would take them flying if Xiao Jiang agreed.

But after a bunch of leaders went up to the sky to survey the terrain, and then used some cylindrical shovels to dig left and right, and came to a conclusion, Liu Hongjun only received a bunch of disgusted looks.

This made him realize: Should I not have gone out today?

At that moment, the Red Army soldiers, who were on pins and needles, received Jiang Xia's summons and immediately put down their bowls and ran to Jiang Xia as if their lives depended on it.

"Little Jiang Gong..."

Did you bring a map with you when you flew today?

"Yes, I brought it! The team was granted permission, and it even has contour lines and latitude/longitude coordinates! However, according to regulations, this map..."

Jiang Xia nodded knowingly and beckoned to Old Wang.

Old Wang was still tending to Jiang Dong's wounds with such meticulous care that even Zhang Fei embroidering wouldn't be able to do it better.

He tilted his head towards the Red Army, signaling them to make a phone call. Once the call connected, he spoke a coded message.

After receiving confirmation from the other side, the Red Army soldiers took out the map from a paper bag close to their bodies.

Don't be surprised that these two treated this A3-sized document with such seriousness.

This military map not only has detailed contour lines (representing the disappearance of terrain undulations) and latitude and longitude, but also marks the location of the woods to the east of Jiangjia Village, the farmland to the north of the village, and even the location of the two wells.

“Jiang Gong, look, these black dots are the locations of the ruins that Leader Wu and his team deduced today.”

"From the sky, these plots of land are indeed quite different from the rest..."

"Hey, Engineer Jiang. Should I have taken them with me? That way, they wouldn't have been able to calculate it so quickly!"

Jiang Xia's attention was completely focused on the map, and the dim oil lamp made it difficult for him to see the data on it.

Hearing Liu Hongjun say those words with a self-reproachful tone, he waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing, it's all that bastard author's fault. He can't stand not tormenting me for a day..."

"Hmph, he's making things so difficult for people. I'd like to see how he manages to keep up this story."

"what?"

Liu Hongjun was completely bewildered, and even Lao Wang and Jiang Dong cast puzzled glances at him.

"Hey, just a little rant, don't mind it."

Then, Jiang Dong waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing, the boss's got a screw loose again, probably from being angry. After I fell into the ice hole, I asked him how he saved me, and he said it was CPR. When I asked him how he did it, he just wouldn't say anything..."

The people inside the room responded with an "Oh," assuming Jiang Xia was talking nonsense and didn't pay any attention, continuing with their work.

(Hey, see, this isn't history anymore. Just marking this up. And you still have those nihilistic things to say? I'll just bring this passage up again. Humph!)

The Red Army squinted at Jiangxia again, and without any hesitation, ran into the courtyard, asked his grandmother for permission, and brought in the gas lamp and replaced the oil lamp.

Yes, there's only one of these gas lamps in the whole village. It's only used for weddings, funerals, or important events in the production team. It's Old Jiang's private property!

Jiang Xia, however, looked at the punctuation marks on the map and confirmed that part of the ruins was indeed buried under the dam.

There's no other way; we really can't let such a groundbreaking relic be submerged.

However, the glorious achievements of Chang'an Metro, as well as specific cases of overpass construction, provided Jiangxia with solutions to the problem.

So you're a local resident here, huh? I can't afford to mess with you, I'll just have to stay away!

"Fifth brother, isn't there a cave in the middle of that hill over there?"

"Next door? Oh! The one across from the mountain where I dragged you rolling on the ground?"

At this point, Jiang Dong, who was fearless, suddenly trembled, making Lao Wang think that he had hurt her, so he gently cleaned her wounds.

"Yes, of course I do, I'll never forget it..."

After saying that, Jiang Dong suddenly stood up and snuggled into Jiang Xia's arms like a pitiful kitten. "Anyone who almost died would never forget a place like that!"

Fortunately, by this time, Lao Wang's "repair" work was completed, and Jiang Xia wrapped Jiang Dong back into his cotton coat, just like he had done several years ago...

Jiang Dong listened to his older brother's pounding heartbeat and it took him a while to recover.

Jiang Xia ignored her, looked at the contour data on his own, and then used a pencil to draw a line diagonally along the direction where the dam was to be built.

"Boss, do you have a plan?"

"I guess so! This spot isn't suitable for a dam, so let's find another place. Look, isn't the terrain here more suitable than the original one?"

Jiang Xia patted Jiang Dong in his arms, pointed to a small mountain on the map, and smiled happily.

Turning to the side, Jiang Xia's probing gaze found Old Wang. After Old Wang nodded in confirmation, Jiang Xia finally spoke: "Let's take a look at the blueprints. What does Teacher Liang think of this plan?"

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, I've already surveyed this area. The terrain you described is indeed very suitable, but to get the water to flow this way, we'd need to carve through the mountain! That's a huge undertaking!"

"Moreover, this mountain is mostly made of granite, which is why I abandoned this option!"

While Liu Hongjun was getting the gas lamp, Grandma had already led the two elderly people into the small house, but they just sat to one side without saying a word.

Upon hearing Jiang Xia's question, Teacher Liang adjusted his glasses and tactfully rejected Jiang Xia's proposal.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia laughed when he heard that the mountain was made entirely of granite, and the laughter grew louder and louder.

"Granite is great, but I'm worried it might not be what it seems!"

"Carve out a mountain? No need, absolutely no need!"

Jiang Xia grinned maliciously: "What the Russians can do, I can do too!"

"Fifth brother, tomorrow, I'll make your nightmares disappear from this map!"

Bang... Jiang Xia's finger slammed viciously into the blueprint—the mountain that almost drove Jiang Dong away from him.

"Eh?"

Ignoring the puzzled people in the room, Jiang Xia stood up, handed Jiang Dong to her grandmother, turned around, and quietly rubbed her aching fingers.

"It's swollen...it hurts so much, waaaaah...what's with the cool pose? Even if I am, I'm definitely not using my fingers next time..."

"When those older folks in the movies were pointing out blueprints, didn't their fingers hurt?"

Just as Jiang Xia was frantically moving his fingers.

The courtyard gate was suddenly kicked open with a bang.

Uncle Jiang took the lead and charged ahead.

"Finally, we got a signal!"

"Young master, step aside and watch my assassination technique!"
