Chapter 25: Both civil and military are captured, both civil and military are hard

Early in the morning, Gao Zhendong walked to the factory. He really had to think about the bicycle. Although walking was good for physical exercise, it was a waste of time. Gao Zhendong did not lack exercise.

When I walked into the factory gate, I saw some people gathered in front of the bulletin board. I suddenly remembered what Section Chief Li said yesterday about taking a look at the bulletin board. It looked mysterious and I didn’t know what it was about, so I squeezed over to take a look with them.

There was a big red paper on the bulletin board with the title "Notice on the Establishment of a Basic Militia Team in Our Factory."

"In order to meet the needs of the struggle and to meet the requirements of the People's Armed Forces Department of our district, our factory has now established a basic militia team. The basic militia team was studied by the factory security department and reported to the factory leaders for approval. The main commanders of the basic militia team are as follows:"

"Captain: Li Dajun, Chief of the Security Department's Training Section"

"vice captain:."

"vice captain:."

"Deputy Captain: Gao Zhendong, Level 10 Technician of the Technical Department, Combat Hero, First-Class Meritorious Contributor"

"."

It turned out to be a matter of the basic militia team. Section Chief Li was quick to act and did not play tricks. He was the captain and there were three deputy captains, Gao Zhendong being one of them. In order to justify his position, he added the word "combat hero" after his introduction, which made Gao Zhendong feel a little shy.

A group of people were talking in front of the notice, mainly female workers, and the focus was mainly on Gao Zhendong.

"Gao Zhendong, who is this? I've never heard of him before."

"I don't know. There is a technician named Gao in the technical department, but judging from his file, he seems very young and was just assigned here. A level 10 technician? Deputy captain? He doesn't look that old."

"Maybe. I heard that the one with the surname Gao is a college student assigned here. He may have a higher title."

"So young? Deputy captain? He must be related to someone else."

"What do you mean by connections? Didn't you see it written at the back? Combat hero, first-class meritorious service. If you have the ability, go get one too."

"What does he look like? Is he good-looking?"

"I heard that he looks delicate, like a student."

"You girl, you want a man again, right? Don't you feel ashamed?"

"It's a new era now, love is free, I just want to think about it, what's wrong with that? What if someone falls in love with me? I can become a vice-captain right after I start working, I will definitely have a great future."

To be honest, Gao Zhendong felt secretly happy when he heard this. No matter what the person who said this looked like, he was still happy to hear someone praising him behind his back.

A male comrade, who probably seemed to be interested in the young female worker, said, "Stop talking nonsense. Can't you see she is a war hero? She must be big and strong, with a broad back and strong waist. A person can stand on her shoulders and a horse can run on her arms."

Gao Zhendong couldn't hold it anymore after hearing this. How dare this brat destroy my moral integrity? This is intolerable!!!
I couldn't help it and patted the man on the shoulder: "Hello comrade, I'm Gao Zhendong."

The comrade was stunned for a moment. It was not often that one could feel the embarrassment of saying something bad about someone, especially when he was saying something bad about him. He suddenly couldn't utter a single word. The young female worker who had just been so bold and free in love screamed, covered her red face, and ran away, leaving behind a group of aunties and sisters pointing at her back, covering their stomachs and stamping their feet and laughing.

With a little bit of evil sense of having succeeded in making a prank, Gao Zhendong was in a very good mood throughout the morning. He even took some time to visit the Training Section of the Security Department and thank Section Chief Li.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, as music started playing, the voice of the announcement from the Propaganda Department began to float in the air of the factory. At this time, the announcement was not Yu Haitang, she was still studying.

"Good news! Good news!"

"The technical department of our factory responded to the call, thought about what the masses thought, and was anxious about what the masses were anxious about. We raised funds, organized manpower, and worked hard. Under the care of the factory leaders, the deputy chief of the technical department Zhao Hong, technician Gao Zhendong, and technician Yu Xiaotian worked hard to successfully develop this stove that can save more than 10% of coal and has"

"The birth of this achievement is a manifestation of our factory's dedication to serving the people and it is something that our employees will remember and never forget."

"In recognition of the outstanding deeds of the above three comrades, the factory leaders have decided to award the above three comrades the honorary title of 'Advanced Workers' of our factory this year, and each of them will be awarded a bicycle ticket and a bonus of 1 yuan to Comrade Zhao Hong and Comrade Gao Zhendong, and a bicycle ticket to Comrade Yu Xiaotian. In addition, this achievement will be submitted to the municipal industrial administrative department together with other scientific research achievements of our factory to participate in the selection of scientific and technological awards."

"I hope the three comrades will continue to work hard. I also hope that other comrades will learn from their spirit and better serve the people and contribute to the construction of the motherland in their future work."

The good news was played three times in a row. It’s true that the number three is magical. When something needs to be done multiple times but you don’t know exactly how many times, you often decide to do it three times.

Gao Zhendong listened to the good news, which was like a pillow for a sleepy night. The bicycle problem was solved. At the same time, he secretly thought that he had underestimated the importance and influence of original inventions in this era, not to mention that this was a research result that involved all ordinary people, could save energy and reduce consumption, and benefit the general public.

Energy and food have always been the two major problems surrounding social development. Any progress in these areas could be a great success. Moreover, technology is not that advanced in this era. It is really biased for Gao Zhendong to measure this era with his future thoughts.

Gao Zhendong couldn't help but think of an example his teacher had mentioned in his previous life. When he was reviewing high-tech companies, he saw a company that assembled and processed ordinary thermal insulation aluminum alloy doors and windows and also entered the review under the name of energy conservation. Although this outrageous company failed to pass the review in the end, it shows that energy conservation has always been highly regarded.

If the notice on the bulletin board was only seen by a few interested people, then this good news was heard clearly by everyone in the factory. The name "Gao Zhendong" left a clear impression in the minds of everyone in the factory.

Putting aside the discussions and gossip about this matter in various workshops and offices, everyone who had read the notice from the basic militia in the morning was shocked.

"Militia deputy captain, 10th-level technician, advanced worker, it would be great if Gao Zhendong was my boyfriend."

"There is a basin of water in front. Go and look at yourself."

"This Gao Zhendong is not only good at martial arts, but also good at literature. Where did this monster come from?"

"What kind of monster is this? This is called a star descending to earth. You can't even flatter someone. You deserve to be a third-level fitter for the rest of your life!!"

"How dare you, a second-level machinist, say that to me? Stop right there!"

In Gao Zhendong's office, all his colleagues were congratulating him. Deputy Section Chief Zhao and Xiao Yu even ran over from their offices to express their gratitude.

In the small vacuum induction furnace laboratory, several members of the thermocouple project team who were preparing for electrode firing seemed to have seen a bright future for themselves and worked even harder.

　Some clichés in notices and good news will be omitted, and it is sufficient for readers to understand the meaning.
