Chapter 896 If I go and don't come back, then I go and don't come back.
As for the radar, Kong Hao sent people to transport it back little by little by transport plane. A total of six units were brought back. Two units were installed near the two major industrial areas, and the other three units were arranged in a triangular pattern in three directions to monitor the sky above our base at all times.
The remaining one has been dismantled into parts for the industrial base, where R&D technicians will replicate it.
Radar is a cutting-edge technology and is definitely a vital national asset. Relying solely on purchasing it from abroad will inevitably leave us vulnerable to external control.
Our industrial park's current R&D capabilities are among the best in the world, and we have a relatively complete range of machinery and equipment.
The task at hand is quite simple: to replicate the various parts of the radar station and then assemble them into a new radar station using the technology provided by Kong Hao.
The base has the world's most advanced industrial machine tools, producing parts with the highest precision. Even though the radar station equipment is all copied, its precision is still slightly higher.
However, it will take at least six months to complete this major project. Fortunately, the Japanese have not shown any intention of launching a major offensive recently, so time is entirely on our side.
It can be said that tens of thousands of R&D personnel in our base areas are working hard day and night, and a large number of advanced weapons have been developed. China's overall industrial strength is improving every day, and in time, it will surely shock the world.
The person in charge of the specific affairs of the Zexian radar station was an engineer from the base area named Liao Baoguo, whom we can call Engineer Liao.
Liao is also considered a returnee from overseas. He used to work as an electrical engineer at a large company in the United States. Half a year ago, despite his family's objections, he resolutely returned to serve his country.
He originally thought that his motherland, China, was still in the agricultural era, with a pitifully weak industrial strength, which was mostly distributed in a few coastal provinces, and now it was occupied by invaders.
His purpose in returning was simple: even just to be given a rifle and go to the battlefield to kill a few invaders would be enough.
He was a skilled marksman abroad and participated in various activities at shooting clubs. With his marksmanship, killing more than a dozen enemies was not a problem.
In addition to returning in person, Engineer Liao also brought back his insights from working abroad for so many years, as well as a large number of books on industry.
The idea was simple: to keep these things in China, even if they weren't needed for the time being. If China were to truly embark on the path of industrialization in the future, these materials would likely be of some help.
This is also the most basic thought of an overseas Chinese: to do everything possible to make the motherland strong so that all overseas Chinese can be protected from being bullied.
In addition to these, he also carried three thousand US dollars with him, which was all his possessions.
After returning to China, he faced the most brutal invaders, and frankly, his fate was uncertain.
If I go and never return, then I will never return.
For those who have left their homeland, being buried on an unnamed hilltop in their motherland may not necessarily be a bad thing.
In that case, there is no need to leave these material possessions abroad.
He has an older brother and a younger sister, and both his parents have jobs. Even if he, the son, were to disappear, it probably wouldn't matter much, as the family would still exist.
On our motherland's side, every additional person increases our chances of victory.
The reason his parents objected was because they were worried about their child and afraid that he would encounter danger thousands of miles away and they would not be able to take care of him.
In the end, unable to resist, she took out a thousand US dollars from her savings and had her son take it back to China, as a way of showing her gratitude.
When Engineer Liao arrived in Shanghai by ship from the United States, he thought it would be a journey full of dangers and difficulties, since they would have to pass through many enemy-occupied areas along the way, and a slight carelessness could lead to death.
But who could have imagined that he would experience a trip that was not dangerous at all and did not involve any hardship?
They traveled by horse-drawn carriage, all disguised as cargo handlers, and were not allowed to speak freely throughout the journey.
Liao Gong had personally witnessed their convoy passing through checkpoints set up by the puppet army. As long as they showed an ID and a few silver dollars, they were not inspected at all, and no one cared what the convoy was carrying.
On the way, unable to contain his curiosity, he specifically asked the team leader.
However, they were only told that they had traveled this road countless times and could absolutely guarantee everyone's safety.
In addition, whenever they passed through a relatively remote area, a group of people carrying various weapons would escort their convoy, and everything was done in a very orderly manner.
They ate very well. Breakfast and lunch consisted of canned meat and compressed biscuits, while dinner was a feast prepared for these overseas returnees using the cooking utensils carried by the convoy.
Braised pork belly, spicy diced chicken, and rice—such simple dishes brought tears to the eyes of all the returning travelers.
What they saw along the way had somewhat overturned everyone's previous understanding. They had come back prepared to suffer, and were even prepared to go hungry.
But who could have imagined that they would be treated so well along the way, far exceeding everyone's expectations?
During this period, Liao was elected as a representative to communicate with the team leader, saying that there was no need to give them special treatment.
Just give everyone something to eat; these canned goods and compressed biscuits are perfectly adequate for the soldiers on the front lines, so they'll have the strength to fight the Japanese invaders.
They were told that this was standard procedure, that their team ate the same food, and that no one received any special treatment.
Furthermore, the higher-ups specifically instructed that you, these highly educated individuals who have returned from abroad, should be taken good care of, so you can just stay in the motorcade without worry.
After traveling for three or four days, the convoy arrived at the New Fourth Army's base. After resting for a few days, it was sent to Shanxi Province.
These sea turtles can only play their greatest role in the industrial areas of the base.
As our industrial strength grows, we urgently need a large number of highly educated talents, but China only has so many educated people, and even if we gathered them all together, it wouldn't be enough.
As a result, a large number of overseas talents were brought back, especially from Southeast Asia. Anyone who had graduated from primary school was encouraged to return to China.
Especially since the Japanese are about to invade Southeast Asia, the fate of many overseas Chinese will be extremely tragic when that time comes, so we must prepare in advance.
Kong Hao also used his connections to recruit as many people as possible in Southeast Asian countries. After all, in a foreign land, it's more reassuring to use your own people.
If there's any sign of trouble, we'll use transport ships to ship large quantities of goods to Australia. It'll only take a year or two, so everyone should just be patient.
Another option is to enter China through the border into Yunnan or Guangxi provinces; once inside, you're safe.
Everyone in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces was incredibly cooperative, mainly because we provided so much.
