So when Huo Shaoheng woke her up at four in the morning, she was about to go crazy.
She hid her head in her sleeping bag and refused to come out. She kept shouting, ” … let me sleep… let me sleep… let me sleep a little longer… ”
Huo Shaoheng found it amusing and “dug” her out of her sleeping bag. He said with a half-hearted smile, “Alright, I’ll let you sleep with me in the future, but you have to get up today.”
When Gu Nianzhi heard this sentence in her sleep-deprived state, she suddenly got goosebumps.
She opened her big, hazy eyes and repeated reflexively, ” … You want me to sleep with you in the future?”
It sounded like something was wrong.
“Yes. ” He knew that would wake her up.
Huo Shaoheng quietly turned around and brought over her clothes. “Put them on quickly. Don’t you want to go see Lake Baikal? I’ll take you to Lake Baikal to watch the sunrise.”
Gu Nianzhi was instantly invigorated, and her hazy eyes lit up. “Watch the sunrise at Lake Baikal?! Are you serious?!”
Lake Baikal was about 400 to 500 kilometers away from here, right?!
Gu Nianzhi picked up her phone beside her sleeping bag and looked at it. ” … It’s four o’clock now. What time is the sunrise?”
“About 5:30.” When Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi wasn’t moving, he started to help her put on her clothes. “If you dawdle a little longer, you’ll only be able to watch the tail of the sunrise.”
Gu Nianzhi quickly pushed Huo Shaoheng away. “I’ll put them on myself. You go and drive. I’ll be dressed when you get here.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded and got out of the tent.
Gu Nianzhi quickly put on her underwear and cashmere sweater, then put on her coat, boots, and mink fur warm hat. As soon as she got out of the tent, she saw Huo Shaoheng standing in front of a jeep and waving at her.
Gu Nianzhi ran over and said in surprise, ” … This is Uncle Ivan’s car.”
It was also the car of the second-in-command of the KGB, Vladimir.
They had come all the way from Moscow in this car.
Huo Shaoheng opened the door of the passenger seat. “Get in. Ivan lent me his car.”
Gu Nianzhi looked up reflexively and saw the driver, Uncle Ivan, waving at her under a big tree and motioning for her not to speak.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and raised her phone to express her gratitude.
After getting into the car, she readily sent the driver a big red envelope with 1888.88 yuan.
Of course, since she was borrowing someone else’s car, she had to pay for the ride.
After Gu Nianzhi’s red envelope was sent out, she put on her seat belt with peace of mind.
Huo Shaoheng started the car and said in a low voice, “Sit tight and hold onto the handrail.”
Gu Nianzhi had just grabbed the handrail above her head when the car shot out like an arrow.
The rumbling sound of the engine shook the ground, and stirred up a cloud of dust. The birds that were perched in the forest were startled and flew into the night sky in unison.
Gu Nianzhi gasped and asked awkwardly, “Will the sound wake people up?”
Huo Shaoheng looked at her with a smile. “The scientists have already gone to work at the crater. Those who are still sleeping in the tent are all lazy people. It doesn’t matter if we wake them up.”
Wasn’t he basically insinuating that she’s a lazy person?
Gu Nianzhi pouted and mumbled, ” … If it wasn’t for you, why wouldn’t I have woken up energized?”
“What about me?” Huo Shaoheng said nonchalantly with one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand on the edge of the car window. “I just signed an autograph.”
“Just signed an autograph?!” Gu Nianzhi turned around and glared at him.” … You ‘signed it’ so many times!”
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t resist the urge to laugh.
However, seeing how angry Gu Nianzhi was, he patted her head and coaxed her. “Alright, don’t be angry anymore. I’ll let you to sign on me next time.”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”
Flabbergasted!
“An autograph? How perverted!
Gu Nianzhi knew that she would never get another autograph in her life.
Revenge from Major General Huo was always so unexpected and unforgettable.
Upon hoearing Huo Shaoheng’s deep laughter, Gu Nianzhi felt a twinge of shame again.
She put down her hand and didn’t even have the time to sneak a glance at Huo Shaoheng when she suddenly realized that the scenery outside the car window was moving so fast that it almost left an afterimage on her retina.
“Major Genera Huo, how fast are you going?!” Gu Nianzhi’s face was pale. She glanced at the speedometer in front of Huo Shaoheng and was instantly speechless.
That speed had already reached the far right of the dashboard, and it was off the charts!
That meant that he was driving at least 200 miles per hour, which was more than 300 kilometers per hour..
No wonder he dared to wake her up at four in the morning to watch the sunrise at 5:30 in the morning.
The distance of 400 to 500 kilometers was less than an hour and a half at this speed.
But only a top-notch racing car could drive such a fast speed.
The KGB’s seemingly ordinary jeep was actually so powerful?!
Huo Shaoheng smiled and said slowly, “This car had been modified quite well. The Russian engine is indeed superb.”
However, it was still a far cry from the small nuclear engine blueprints that Gu Nianzhi had brought to them.
It had been seven years since the blueprints had been produced, but there hadn’t been any news about any country successfully developing a small nuclear engine that could be used in a car or an airplane.
That was because the nuclear power currently known was built on the basis of a large nuclear reactor.
It was impossible for a car or an airplane to carry a large nuclear reactor, so a nuclear engine that could be used in a car or an airplane was only a scientist’s idea, and no country had ever successfully developed one.
On the other hand, the blueprint that Gu Xiangwen had brought with him had used a clever structure to realize the application of a miniature nuclear reactor, and could be integrated with the engine to become a real nuclear engine.
In view of the scientific research conditions of the Huaxia Empire, the blueprint could be said to be far beyond their current level.
For the sake of confidentiality, the blueprint had already become a state level top secret. The nuclear engine used for the aircraft was still in the test flight stage and hadn’t yet been mass-produced.
Now, it seemed that the blueprint not only exceeded the current scientific and technological level of the Huaxia Empire, but also surpassed the scientific research level of all the countries on blue planet.
Other than the United States, even Russia, the leader of the engine technology, didn’t have this kind of technology.
Gu Xiangwen was also allegedly involved in the United States’ acquisition of this kind of technology.
Huo Shaoheng was deep in thought. Before he knew it, he had arrived in the vicinity of Lake Baikal.
The sky gradually brightened. It felt like in the blink of an eye, the sky turned from dark to light.
Without blinking, Gu Nianzhi stared at the blue sky in the distance.
At the intersection of the light blue sky and the green mountaintop, red clouds slowly seeped out. It was as if someone had knocked over paint and it seeped into the sky.
Huo Shaoheng stopped the car and led her out of the car. They walked quickly to a small hill.
The view was expansive, and it was the best place to admire Lake Baikal.
In front of them was a clear blue Lake that stretched as far as one’s eyes could see. At the border between the lake and the sky, the red glow was getting more and more brilliant. Not only was there a red glow, but there was also a bright golden light, a dazzling blue, and a gentle light yellow glow in the sky. All kinds of colors were interwoven together, and it was like a painting on a canvas.
It was like a master painting as his heart contented. When the last stroke of the red glow was drawn, a red sun broke through the sky, and the boundless golden light instantly scattered across the earth.
Huo Shaoheng lowered his head, then embraced her tenderly and kissed her gently.
