Chapter 503: Bear Hero Valentine
"Valentin?" Li Qing muttered to himself.
However, his brows did frown. It was indeed bad news that someone was in Damao. The specific situation needed to be checked by Tian Yangsheng. It would be best if he could invite someone.
If he couldn't, it would be great if he could kidnap someone!
Time was urgent, so Li Qing didn't delay and directly asked Tian Yangsheng to take people to Damao Moscow.
He ordered Tian Yangsheng to invite someone, and if he couldn't come, he could just bring the drawings back.
Tian Yangsheng led people directly to Moscow.
Moscow in November was colder than Kiev. Without the mountains to block it, the cold wind from Siberia was blowing south with all its strength, and it was as painful as a knife on people's faces.
Even Tian Yangsheng, who had lived in Ermao for so many years, was a little uncomfortable with this kind of weather.
"Brother, according to the address, it should be here." Tian Yangyi stamped his feet and looked at the address in his hand.
Tian Yangsheng looked at the shabby cabin with a puzzled look. When they came here, they thought they had gone to the wrong place.
It is incredible that the chief designer of Tu-160 actually lives in such a simple place. You know, such a person is a national treasure wherever he is.
The group confirmed through inquiries that Valentine did live here, but the people around him didn't know his identity at all, which was a bit intriguing.
Tian Yangsheng and others had no choice but to wait by the house, hoping to wait for Valentine.
It was not until the sky gradually darkened and the dim street lights on the street lit up that they found an old man with white hair, holding a paper bag and leaning on a crutch with one hand, walking slowly towards this side with a staggering step.
Tian Yangsheng saw the old man took out the key and was about to open the cabin, and then he dared to confirm that the old man was Valentine.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Valentine?" Tian Yangsheng led people to the old man.
The old man raised his head in astonishment, as if he hadn't heard anyone greet him for a long time.
"Well, it's... I am!"
Perhaps Valentine was even more surprised to see a few Asian faces suddenly.
"Hello, I'm from New World Company. Can we go in and talk?" Tian Yangsheng smiled and tried to make himself look kind.
Valentin didn't know what New World was, maybe it was a commercial company?
"Sorry, I don't have anything to talk to you about." Valentin coughed lightly, shook his head, and continued to open the old lock.
"Click~" The lock opened.
Tian Yangsheng was a little helpless, "We are Chinese, and hope to talk to you."
The indifferent Valentin heard the word "China", his body paused, and the action of closing the door froze.
Only to hear Valentin sigh, "Come in and talk!"
Tian Yangsheng was delighted and quickly led people into the wooden house.
The wooden house was not much warmer than the outside, and even because there was no sunlight all year round, there was a biting cold.
There were many miscellaneous items in the house, and occasionally some drawings or something.
The most eye-catching thing was a photo frame hanging on the wall, and inside the photo frame was a "Red Flag Medal"!
But the room was filled with a "smell of old people".
Valentine put the paper bag on the table, and then Tian Yangsheng noticed the two big words on the paper bag: relief.
A trace of bitterness flashed in Tian Yangsheng's eyes. After all, this man was also a meritorious person of the Russian bear, so why did he fall to this point.
Valentine seemed to feel Tian Yangsheng's gaze and smiled, "Please sit down, from the East Davarish!"
After that, he took a few cups from the shelf next to him and took out a bottle of vodka from the paper bag.
"The weather is a bit cold, I only have this to help you drive away the cold!"
Tian Yangsheng stammered, "Scientists like you should not be treated like this!"
Such people should be treated like treasures no matter which country they go to.
Valentine smiled, "My motherland is gone, and now I am just a shell. My soul had already disappeared at the moment when my motherland disintegrated.
I... am now a stateless person!"
Stateless person, this is how Valentine defined himself.
He believed that no matter how similar the current Mao was to the Mao Bear, it was not the motherland for which he had devoted his life.
Valentin raised his glass and saluted Tian Yangsheng and others from afar, "Cheers to you, Davarish from afar!"
He gulped down the vodka in the glass, "Ha~ I really envy you! Your red flag is so bright, and it is getting stronger and stronger like a flame."
Valentin's eyes began to blur, and he thought of the motherland that made him shed tears on his pillow at midnight.
He calmed down and raised his head: "Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
He knew that these people must have come to him for something related to airplanes, and all he could show now was the knowledge in his mind.
Tian Yangsheng swallowed the vodka in his mouth and felt much warmer.
"Mr. Valentin, I want to invite you to Ermao for a trip to Tu-160." Tian Yangsheng smiled.
Valentin knew that he guessed right, and the masterpiece he was most proud of was the Tu-160.
"Tu-160? Wasn't it destroyed under the supervision of the United States?" Valentine was a little confused.
"There is another one..."
Tian Yangsheng briefly explained the situation, of course, he didn't say a word about the confidential matters.
After listening to Tian Yangsheng's words, Valentine said nothing, and the expression on his face was not as relaxed as before.
"Mr. Valentine, you don't want your masterpiece to be only displayed in a military museum, right? You know, the Tu-160 is the most advanced strategic bomber at this stage.
Are you willing to let it gather dust in a museum?"
Tian Yangsheng's words moved Valentine. The Tu-160 is like his child. Who would want their child to rot in a museum?
"At least, at least... let it be reborn, isn't that the meaning of your research?" Tian Yangsheng continued.
Valentine took a deep breath, looked up at Tian Yangsheng, drank half a glass of vodka again, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Okay, okay, I hope you can do what you say and let it be reborn again."
Tian Yangsheng was relieved when he heard this, and he knew that Valentine agreed.
"Wait a minute, I'll sort out the information!" Valentine slowly stood up and began to sort out the drawings on the desk not far away.
It turned out that he was doing research under such difficult circumstances.
Not for anyone, just because this makes him feel that he is still alive.
Tian Yangsheng called for help and soon finished sorting.
Before leaving, Valentin put some small change of rubles on the table, which was his rent for this month, and the landlord would come to collect it.
The journey was smooth. Tian Yangsheng was afraid that the Russian Federal Security Bureau would suddenly show up, but it didn't happen.
It seems that Russia really didn't pay attention to the chief designer of the Tu-160.
Not long after, Valentin boarded Li Qing's private plane.
