On December 28, it started raining and the wind was shaking.

Today, Evan and the other two are going back to Los Angeles.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Joseph and Audrey were saying goodbye at the door. Evan stood outside the door holding a black umbrella, with the collar of the coat standing up, but he was still trembling with the cold wind.

After more than a year of hard work, Joseph's position in the bank was finally upgraded to a higher level. He was no longer a small salesperson, and his salary also increased a lot. Therefore, before Audrey left home, Joseph stuffed his daughter a lot of pocket money.

"Boy, take good care of Audrey. If something goes wrong, I'll ask you!"

After instructing his daughter, Joseph hit Evan like a "routine". For Audrey's sake, Evan did not say anything back. After saying "Don't worry", he held Audrey's shoulder, held an umbrella into the rain, and walked towards the Ford car parked on the side of the road.

"Let's go!"

After Audrey waved goodbye to Joseph through the car window, Evan said to Bob.

The car headed south all the way, and the weather outside got better and better. Not long after, it turned from rainy to sunny.

Affected by this, the atmosphere in the car is also liberated from the sadness of parting.

On the first night back to Los Angeles, Virginia slept in the "House in the Woods" and had a bed with Audrey.

Linda hasn't returned yet, and the house she rented didn't recruit tenants last semester. She was the only one, and Evan was really worried.

Haynes, whom Evan arranged for, could not follow her closely.

Regarding this, Evan couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Andy Vadak (SHIELD's supervisor). He had already arranged the request to recruit female guards, but two months later, Andy still couldn't give him a satisfactory reply.

Admittedly, Evan also knew that there were not many women suitable for the job of security during this period.

You should know that although the United States allowed women to join the army at this time, there were almost no one who actually entered the battle, not to mention that there were not many people joining the army.

During this period, almost all women in the United States were traditional women. Although labor shortages during World War II allowed many women to go out of their homes and work, they were as rigid in their thinking as feudal women, which was completely incomparable to later feminist rights.

Since thinking about this, Evan called Andy that night. Andy's reply was: "Sir, the person you want is undergoing training, please wait patiently for a while."

Only then did Evan realize that Vadak didn't take his orders. At the same time, he also understood why Vadak could not continue in the army.

This is a stupid person who only knows how to work hard, does not know how to perform, and does not know how to deal with his boss...

Such a person is okay to be a middle-level person who executes orders, but can he go up any further... Evan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

However, although Evan was a little dissatisfied, he didn't want to do anything to Vadak. Although Vadak was a little less subjective and initiative, he was a capable person after all.

Moreover, Evan couldn't find someone who could trust and replace Vadak for a while.

Virginia only lived for two days, and after New Year's Day, she went back to her house. She did not quit her part-time job and lived in Evan. She had to drive to work every day, and she felt that it was a waste of gas.

Of course, the more reason is that Virginia doesn't want to be fed dog food every day.

When it comes to dating Audrey, Virginia felt that her younger brother Evan was a little abnormal. She had never seen her boyfriend and girlfriend who had been dating for a year and could still be as tired as the two of them.

1947 is here.

On January 3, the new Congress and the government began to perform their duties.

Evan also devoted himself to the new topic he led.

Evan did not choose the wrong partner, and Dr. Leiden is not ordinary capable. Not only did he persuade Watson to give him a free house as a laboratory during the school holiday, but he also got a bunch of testing equipment from somewhere. Although it was obvious at a glance that it was pieced together, the difference was a little bit, according to Leiden, it was still useful.

But it’s useless to have these alone. The key to the key - germanium crystals are still unclear.

The new semester of California Polytechnic begins on January 6th.

On the first day of school, Evan and Leiden took the application materials they had prepared long ago and asked Dean Dubridge to sign. Before that, Acting Director Watson had signed. Dubridge had also heard Evan's plan from Watson, so he was not surprised at all when they came to the door.

Unlike Watson, who thought Evan's move was contrary to the rules but had to sign (because the person who applied in name was Leiden), Dubridge didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After listening carefully to the topic Evan wanted to study, he also thought it was a good idea, so he immediately signed and approved Leiden/Evan's plan.

As a result, the California Polytechnic PME Solid Physics Group was established.

Not only that, after learning that Evan wanted to get the germanium single crystal from Bell Labs, Dubridge agreed to help contact him.

This made Evan overjoyed.

Not long after, Bell Laboratory in Murray Hill, New Jersey received an application from California Polytechnic. The application was sent directly to Oliver Barkley, president of Bell Laboratory, and a handwritten letter from Dubridge was delivered along with the application.

President Oliver and Dean Dubridge are alumni, both of whom have spent quite some time at Cornell University.

Because of this relationship, he didn't want to pay attention to this application, so he called Bading, who used the most germanium single crystals.

When he heard that someone wanted germanium single crystal, Oliver was willing to give it, Bardin was alert and a little unhappy.

"Mr. President, we are not using germanium single crystals enough, how can we give them to others? I won't agree to this!"

Oliver understood why Badin reacted so, so he endured the unhappiness of being confronted and explained: "The applicant used it to study crystal structure, and it was two directions with you, so you don't have to worry."

"But……"

Bading opened his mouth, but he still didn't want to open the hole.

Seeing this, Oliver whispered: "Of course, if you are still worried, you can refuse to agree..."

After saying that, Oliver lowered his head and stopped looking at Bading.

When Bading heard this, his face was in a state of turmoil. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I can give it a little, but this is only once!"

Oliver raised his head, gave Bardin a smile, and said, "Thank you! Bardin, you can go back."

A week later, when Evan received a sample of germanium single crystal, his chin was almost falling off in surprise.

Because he had no hope of getting the samples from Bell Labs, he was ready to be rejected from the beginning, but he did not expect that the most difficult level he expected would pass so simply.
