“What are you talking about? Are we brothers? You are hurting me so much by talking like that!” Hu Weijun pretended to be sad and said aggrievedly.

But Chen Zhiguo turned a blind eye and said contemptuously, “Are you still sad? If you are sad, don’t stretch out your chopsticks, right? Isn’t it said that when you are sad, you can’t eat, you can’t enjoy your food, and you can’t eat or have an appetite? I think you eat more happily than anyone else!”

Hu Weijun didn’t even raise his head, his chopsticks still flying and leaving afterimages, and he said incoherently, “What do you know? I’m turning grief into strength. Besides, who made your family’s food so delicious? Eating other dishes is like eating pig food!”

“Okay! You dare to say that the food my sister-in-law cooked is pig food? I have to have a good talk with my sister-in-law!” Chen Zhiguo smiled evilly.

“You! You!” Hu Weijun opened his mouth wide. Because his mouth was full of food, some food crumbs were spat out due to nervousness. He felt sick looking at Chen Zhiguo.

“You’ve already eaten everything in your mouth before you talk. You’re an adult, but you eat like a pig!” Chen Zhiguo said with a look of disgust.

Hu Weijun chewed the food in his mouth and swallowed it hastily, then took a sip of soup to smooth it out, and then he let out a long sigh, “If you dare to tell your sister-in-law that I have no food to eat in the future, I will come over here!”

“Oh! You’re right! You’ve taken this free meal for granted and you’re so confident about it. You’re really shameless!”

“Of course. I have no reason to come here every day. Since you gave me a reason right at my doorstep, I can’t refuse it!” Hu Weijun said with a smile!

Chen Zhiguo was speechless. What could you do with such a humble and invincible person? Of course, he would provide good wine, cigarettes, tea and food! Of course, this was just a joke between them.

After dinner, Hu Weijun took the design draft and left. He knew Chen Zhiguo was very busy. With the experience of the last gasoline version, plus he now has an enhanced think tank, a group of old eighth-level workers composed of quality inspection team, I believe that this production will not have the same situation as last time. If it really happens, he will have to quit as the factory director! It’s so embarrassing!

. . . . . . . . . .

Chen Zhiguo is really busy. The development of the Armored Beast has consumed a lot of his energy. First of all, it is the speed. As a steel behemoth, its own load-bearing capacity and space limitations have determined its engine’s power output, maximum speed and maximum range. Moreover, it is impossible for it to run thousands of kilometers like a car. Not to mention whether the machinery can withstand it, even the bodies of the crew members cannot withstand the high temperature, bumps and narrow space. Therefore, the pursuit of high speed and maximum range is not Chen Zhiguo’s main focus!

Chen Zhiguo focused on the protection. The round turret was designed to be flat, and armor was installed around the Iron Beast. Spear and shield are a pair of eternal contradictions! Breaking the hardest armor and defending against the most powerful shells, this is the problem that the Iron Beast has been facing since its launch!

Now that he has the armor, what bothers Chen Zhiguo now is the artillery. Of course, Chen Zhiguo’s main attack direction is not the caliber of the spear, but the aiming accuracy of the spear. To be precise, it is the accuracy of aiming and shooting while moving!

Then, the two-way stabilizer, various gyroscopes, sighting and observation systems, ranging systems, and fire control systems are all difficult problems that Chen Zhiguo needs to overcome one by one!

Chen Zhiguo worked day and night, knowing that the development of the Iron Beast not only required strong protection, but also precise attack capabilities. After countless trials and failures, he finally found a solution!

But now it is time for Chen Zhiguo to return to Yanjing City. If he doesn’t go back, he will miss Ma Huihui’s due date! This time, Chen Zhiguo didn’t plan to stay for long. After Ma Huihui gave birth, he would rush back to 817!

In the early morning, it was drizzling. Chen Zhiguo embarked on the return journey alone under the reluctant gazes of Jiang Yuehua and others!

There was a drizzle in the sky, and the fog was thick. The rain and fog covered the entire mountain forest, making Chen Zhiguo’s travel extremely difficult. In this era, there were no modern cement roads or asphalt roads, and the roads were all muddy dirt roads. The continuous spring rain moistened the earth, but also brought great trouble to Chen Zhiguo’s travel! Chen Zhiguo drove his jeep and got stuck in the mud from time to time. The vehicle slipped and deviated frequently, which made people nervous!

Along the way, there were towering mountains on the left and steep cliffs on the right. If you were not careful, the car would slide and fall into the abyss. Chen Zhiguo held the steering wheel tightly and carefully controlled the speed, but he still could not completely avoid danger. Every time the car bumped and shook, his heart beat faster and he was very nervous!

However, Chen Zhiguo was not intimidated by the difficulties. He continued to move forward firmly! Return to Yanjing, and arrive before Ma Huihui gives birth! Although the journey was difficult, his belief in his heart made him move forward courageously!

After driving for a while, Chen Zhiguo would get out of the car to check the tires and clean the fenders! It took Chen Zhiguo only an hour to drive half a day!

Looking at the winding mountain road in front of him, which was blurred by the rain and fog, Chen Zhiguo was filled with helplessness and anxiety! He could only pray silently in his heart, praying that this damn rain would stop quickly!

At this moment, returning home has become a luxury. After all, he has spent so much time, and in this southern mountainous area, the rain always comes frequently, as if it will never stop. It often lasts for several days!

Even if he chooses to return now, there is no guarantee that the next few days will usher in sunny weather. If the next few days are cloudy and rainy, he can’t even go out, and the dirt road will become even more muddy, not to mention being able to get back to Yanjing on time. In this case, Chen Zhiguo has no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to move forward, hoping to pass through this layer of rain as soon as possible and find a clear sky.

Perhaps Chen Zhiguo really didn’t check the almanac before going out this time, which led to bad luck. It was just a drizzle at first, but in the afternoon, the rain became heavier. The spring rain, which was originally as fine as cow hair, gradually turned into a downpour. This kind of rainstorm that only occurs in summer and autumn actually came early!

Faced with the torrential rain, Chen Zhiguo had no choice but to rush forward!

Chapter 425 Escape from danger!

Faced with such bad weather conditions, Chen Zhiguo had no choice but to turn on the wipers to the maximum, then stare at the road ahead with wide eyes and concentrate on driving. He knew that driving in such heavy rain requires a high degree of alertness and caution. A slight negligence could lead to danger. Although he had space to avoid it, his journey would inevitably be affected!

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. The more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Just as Chen Zhiguo was driving slowly and carefully crossing a stream formed by heavy rain, a sudden disaster struck!

With a loud rumbling sound, a surging and unstoppable mudslide poured down from the towering hillside, like a galloping army! Just when Chen Zhiguo heard the noise and turned his head to observe, the mudslide was approaching the jeep at a speed of seconds!

Chen Zhiguo’s eyes widened with anger, and the hairs on his body suddenly stood up. Cold sweat suddenly poured out, and his adrenaline surged, and his heartbeat was soaring to 180! No matter how powerful a person is, when facing such a violent, powerful, and human-powerless natural disaster, he still clearly feels his own insignificance, like an ant!

However, at this moment, it was too late to step on the accelerator and speed up the escape. That was wishful thinking. The jeep could not outrun the speed of the mudslide, and it could only run out of this vast and terrifying range of the mudslide!

Just when the huge mudslide was about to submerge the jeep, Chen Zhiguo dodged and hid in the space, and before he entered the space, he waved his hand to put the jeep into the space, narrowly avoiding being buried by the mudslide!

After the dangerous contact, Chen Zhiguo lay limply on the grass in the space, gasping for breath. The moment just now was so thrilling. After the tension, Chen Zhiguo obviously felt his limbs were weak, his whole body was limp, his heartbeat accelerated, and his entire underwear was soaked with cold sweat!

After a long while, Chen Zhiguo finally recovered and began to think about the problems he was facing! Hiding in the space, he was safe, but Chen Zhiguo was extremely anxious and impatient – what should he do next? How to leave here and move on?

Chen Zhiguo began to think about various possibilities. His safest way was to wait for the mudslide to stop flowing, the ground to solidify, and then come out! But this method would take a long time to wait. Chen Zhiguo was not sure how long the rain would last, how long the mudslide would last, and whether it would be sunny in the next few days. The worst thing was that Chen Zhiguo had no time to wait. He had to go back to Yanjing City!

So after Chen Zhiguo stayed in the space for half an hour, he decided to take a risk and could not wait to slip out of the space. However, this time he brought a weapon with him, a five-meter-high bamboo. Chen Zhiguo chopped it down in the space, grabbed one end of the bamboo shoot, and slipped out of the space!

The mudslide was still flowing at this time, but the flow rate had become very slow. While Chen Zhiguo was dodging, he inserted one end of a bamboo pole into the ground and his body kept swinging. As the bamboo pole bent, he was launched forward like a cannonball. Just when he was about to land, Chen Zhiguo entered the space again and cut another bamboo. In this way, he kept entering the space and kept catapulting. Finally, Chen Zhiguo escaped from the mudslide area which was several hundred meters wide!

Looking back at the mudslide that destroyed the road and submerged everything, Chen Zhiguo breathed a sigh of relief. He finally made it safely! But how could he move forward in the pouring rain? Would there be other dangers ahead? Chen Zhiguo gritted his teeth. No matter what the danger was, it would not stop him from moving forward today!

On such a road, driving a jeep is obviously too slow, and it is also very dangerous, slipping, bumpy, time-consuming and laborious! Looking at the winding mountain road and the quiet forest, Chen Zhiguo moved his mind and released the tiger in the space. The tiger was still a little dazed. It was still spring and sunny just now, and the sun was warm. How could it turn into heavy rain in a blink of an eye? Just when the tiger was stunned, shaking its body and shaking off the raindrops on its body, Chen Zhiguo got on the tiger’s back!

This tiger has been in the space for the past few years, and with the nourishment of the space, its size has doubled. Its majestic body is like a big fat cow, tall and mighty. Riding on it is no different from riding a horse. Chen Zhiguo has no worries about his long legs dragging on the ground!

He clamped his legs together, grabbed the tiger’s neck hair with one hand, and patted the tiger with the other hand, “Run!”

In such weather, letting the tiger run is obviously bullying. Although the tiger cannot communicate with Chen Zhiguo like the white fox, at least it is not stupid. It knows that Chen Zhiguo is its master and it must obey his orders! Moreover, it has been a long time since I have enjoyed the feeling of running wildly in the rain!

Following Chen Zhiguo’s command, the tiger roared, raised its hooves and started running! It was so majestic that you didn’t feel any bumps when you sat on its back. Moreover, as the tiger evolved in space, its running speed was obviously as fast as lightning!

Tigers are one of the largest cats in the world. They have strong muscles and agility. Running speed is the key to their survival and hunting. According to scientific research, tigers can run at speeds of more than 60 kilometers per hour. This speed is very fast in the animal kingdom, second only to a few animals such as cheetahs and lions!

But now, Chen Zhiguo sat on its back and clearly felt that this was not crossing the mountains and forests, but speeding on the highway, stable and high speed! Moreover, he could take shortcuts and easily cross obstacles with a light jump. Chen Zhiguo really regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have just ridden the tiger. Not only would he not have wasted so much time, he would not have encountered such dangers! It was also very comfortable and easy. As long as he controlled the general direction correctly, the tiger would choose the path by itself. Whether it was crossing the mountains and forests or crossing the turbulent rivers, no obstacles could stop it!

When the town at the foot of the mountain appeared, Chen Zhiguo stopped and could no longer enjoy it. He had to change his means of transportation! Not satisfied with running, Chen Zhiguo put away the tiger and released the jeep. He changed his means of transportation and obviously felt uncomfortable. He was just speeding, but now it was like a snail crawling!

After arriving at the town with difficulty, the first thing Chen Zhiguo did was to go to the post office to send a telegram to 817. This was because when 817 Factory encountered such a rainy season, they would patrol the roads, and any road hazards such as mudslides had to be reported. Chen Zhiguo was afraid that Jiang Yuehua and the others would be worried after knowing this, so he had to report his safety to them as soon as possible!

The rest of the journey, although still slow, was safe and sound. Chen Zhiguo drove the jeep and Tiger took turns driving, rushing towards Yanjing City day and night!

. . . . . . . .

As the sun was setting and the sunset dyed the sky red, Chen Zhiguo drove this mottled, muddy jeep into Nanluoguxiang!

Before reaching the door of the house, he saw Chen Xueru walking quickly with a package in her hand. Chen Zhiguo braked and stopped the car in front of her. “Where are you going?”

“Zhiguo, you’re back!” Chen Xueru looked at Chen Zhiguo who suddenly appeared in front of her with surprise, then quickly climbed into the car and said hurriedly, “Hurry! Huihui is about to give birth, let’s go!”

Chen Zhiguo hurriedly drove the car and said, “Huihui, isn’t there still a few days left? Why is it early?”

“When she woke up this morning, she complained of a stomachache. I said that she didn’t mind a few days, so I went to the hospital early. By the afternoon, her stomach was aching badly. The doctor checked and said that she was about to give birth. I hurried back to get something!”

Chen Zhiguo followed Chen Xueru and rushed into the hospital. At this time, Ma Huihui was still walking in the corridor, and her mother Wang Meihua was supporting her!

Seeing Chen Zhiguo suddenly appear, Ma Huihui burst into tears, “Why did you come just now? I’m in so much pain!”

Chen Zhiguo went up to hold her arm and said, “It’s my fault. I should have left earlier. It was raining in the south and the road was really difficult to travel. I was delayed!”

Ma Huihui knew the rain in the south, so she held his arm tightly and asked, “Did you encounter any danger on the road?”

Chen Zhiguo smiled and said, “I’m fine, right? I just drove a little slower!”

Ma Huihui wanted to ask him more, but the severe abdominal pain made her cry out again, “It hurts so much, why hasn’t the baby come out yet?”

At this time, Chen Xueru came over with a bowl in her hand, “Huihui, eat more while you can still eat to replenish your energy!”

“I’m in pain and can’t eat!” Ma Huihui twisted her face and had no appetite at all!

“No, you have to eat. If you don’t have the strength, once you become weak, it will be difficult to give birth to a child!”

In this way, Ma Huihui drank two sips, stopped for a while, and drank two more sips in between the pain. Chen Zhiguo’s arm was scratched purple by her. Ma Huihui was in so much pain that she punched Chen Zhiguo and said, “I will beat him up after the baby is born. He bullies me so much!”

“Okay! Okay! I’ll definitely let you beat me up, any way you want!”

At eight o’clock in the evening, Ma Huihui was pushed into the delivery room. At one o’clock in the morning, the nurse came out holding a baby. At this time, Chen Zhiguo, Chen Xueru, Chen Dayong, Wang Meihua, the second uncle, and the second aunt all gathered around.

“Ma Huihui’s family, your family has given birth to a boy, weighing 15.6 catties, quite fat!”

Chen Zhiguo happily took it. The little chubby face was wrinkled and he was sleeping soundly with his eyes squinted! Chen Zhiguo held the child for a while, then handed the child to Chen Xueru, asking them to take the child to the ward first. He would wait here for Ma Huihui to come out!
