Chapter 110: The Lonely Person on the Ice

Zhang Zhiqiang was first stunned, then reacted, immediately nodding: "Of course no problem!"

Although the military hadn't clearly ordered a task to modify armed helicopters, throughout the process of introducing the Dolphin Helicopter, he had heard military leaders mention armed helicopters countless times; but one must eat bite by bite and work step by step—before the civilian version of the Dolphin Helicopter could be successfully copied, mounting missiles to blow up tanks, that military model, was unthinkable.

Now, fortunately there are French people here; we can modify together, and once the modification is done, the aircraft will still be ours, and we will naturally have learned the technology—this is absolutely a win-win good thing, we must agree!

He agreed quickly, but those French people wouldn't have it.

"No, no, we didn't say we wanted to modify here..."

"Go to France? Sorry, we don't have time."

To them, the best way was naturally to take this person to France, so the modification technology would stay in France, but this side would definitely not agree, so...

Auguste hesitated a moment, then spoke: "Then let's just modify the helicopter here, this aiming device and anti-tank missile..."

"Sure, no problem, you provide the funds, we'll do the modification, but whether it meets requirements after the fact—I can't guarantee that."

If you don't fire a missile, how can you prove it meets the standard?

"Once modified, we'll send it to our France..."

"That won't do; this helicopter was bought with our money—how could we possibly send it to your France? Our military urgently needs it!"

"We'll give you a brand-new one."

"That would probably be enough to show off; our military likes to assemble things ourselves—it gives us face."

"Then we'll send a brand-new one over to modify here."

"No, there's no space."

"You..."

The French guy was driven to the brink of madness by what was said; this side's meaning is to modify this helicopter now, and after modification still test it here—this way, wouldn't the technology of the Black Panther Helicopter be leaked?

No, absolutely not!

Auguste gritted his teeth: "Fine, let's first modify the helicopter here and talk later! Missiles and aiming system—we'll evaluate the modified helicopter's effectiveness later and then talk!"

"Okay, first give us one million."

"What?"

"The modification fee!"

The Eastern territory, modifying Eastern aircraft—just giving the French a glance demands one million dollars! This is absolutely……

Auguste gritted his teeth: "Okay, but if you deceive us…… that could cause a diplomatic incident!"

"We never deceive people!"

A check for one million dollars just landed in Director Mao's hand like that, got in the car, and on the way back Director Mao still felt it unbelievable—this… this happiness came too suddenly!

"San Shui, this money…… how to spend it?"

"Didn't the school already issue regulations earlier? Deduct costs, keep one-third of the remaining profit for ourselves, and turn over the other two-thirds to the school for unified distribution."

This……

Originally letting the Mechanical Department keep one-third, everyone thought they kept too much; now it's fallen to us, we instantly feel one-third is too little—keeping half would be much better!

"San Shui, could we talk to the school about……?"

"No, since the rules have been set, we must follow them; otherwise…… it would lose its meaning."

"Alright. San Shui, regarding this project……"

"Hmm, actually it's not that complicated—just replace their unqualified composite materials in the rear fuselage with our carbon fiber, then reinforce the locally……"

Back when the domestic Zhi-9 encountered these problems, a major solution was to improve the composite materials on the Zhi-9 fuselage and reinforce locally; now we have more advanced composite materials, following the original design to replace them, our strength is sufficient!

"Just that simple?"

"Hmm, just that simple—next, our Materials Department can handle it ourselves, no need to ask other departments for help."

"Good."

As they talked, the car had already driven onto the Songhua Jiang; Qin Miao glanced casually and spotted someone walking on the ice.

Here, no need to worry about falling into ice holes—the ice layer is very solid, even a big hammer might not break it; but…… in this freezing weather, walking on it is pretty bored, right?

Qin Miao couldn't help but look a few more times—this kid looks really familiar, wait…… isn't this kid Zhao Wanli? What's he doing here? In such freezing weather, school is great—whether dorm or classroom, the heating is blazing……

"Stop the car!"

Qin Miao strode down.

"Hey, Zhao Wanli, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Wanli's steps froze instantly; he turned his head to look at Qin Miao, his gaze complex.

"Qin Miao, who told you to come find me? I'm not going back, I never want to go to school again, I……"

Is this guy fed up with school?

No way! In this era, getting into college means one can become a state official and eat the imperial grain—how many envy that! It's not like nowadays when college graduates are everywhere; every college student back then fought through thousands to cross the single-plank bridge.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen? Come, tell me."

Zhao Wanli was first stunned, then…… a surge of anger just shot up involuntarily.

"Qin Miao, you don't need to come pretending to be a good person!"

"Me? You don't want to go to school—what does that have to do with me?"

Did I provoke you or annoy you? I usually don't go to class, so we hardly have any overlap!

Qin Miao couldn't figure it out.

"Hmph, Qin Miao, stop pretending—now the whole class looks at me funny, the dorm mates isolate me, all because of you!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"You……"

"Speak up—if you want to settle this, say it clearly to my face!" Qin Miao looked at him: "Zhao Wanli, are you still a man?"

"I…… don't want to say, I just want…… to beat you up!"

"Come on then!"

Northeasterners, if you can fight, don't just yap!

Zhao Wanli's eyes were full of anger; the next moment, he clenched his fist and swung it at Qin Miao.

Clang!

Qin Miao lifted his foot, originally intending to kick that guy in the chest, but his cotton pants were too thick, so he kicked him in the stomach instead.

Zhao Wanli winced in pain, his face growing even angrier; he bent over and charged at Qin Miao, trying to grab Qin Miao's waist and tackle him down.

Qin Miao dodged to the side, and in passing kicked Zhao Wanli in the buttocks, sending him sprawling; he slid far across the ice, after which Qin Miao rushed forward and gave him a fierce beating.

"Damn it, what the hell did I do to piss you off? Speak!"

"You little brat, are you hiding dark thoughts?"

"Chu Miaomiao told me that during college she didn't even consider dating, yet she married you!"

Zhao Wanli, after being fiercely beaten by Qin Miao, totally exploded.

Holy shit! Qin Miao's fist, which was in the middle of a critical hit, came to a stop.

This guy actually had a secret crush on his own wife, and now the whole class knows, and then he got ostracized?
