    The Black Sea Shipyard was the only aircraft carrier assembly plant in the former Soviet Union. All Soviet aircraft carriers were assembled from here, including the current Russian Kuznetsov.

    After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the loss of the Black Sea Shipyard, Russia no longer has the ability to build aircraft carriers.

    On a personal level, there is no need for aircraft carriers at all, and Ukraine, which cannot build its own aircraft carriers, has neither the ability nor the need to support a large team of engineers. Even if those engineers are extremely valuable assets, a small temple cannot accommodate a giant Buddha.  That's the truth.

    Grolev was not surprised at all, he just sighed, but Gao Yang was a little surprised, because he knew that since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, those scientists and engineers who have had problems with their lives have been replaced by those who are in need in the world.  Ambitious countries recruit a large number of talents, and China has indeed collected a lot of talents from them.

    "Sir, I'm a little curious. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, China, South Korea, and many other countries recruited talents like you with very high salaries. Why didn't you leave?"

    The old man turned around and glanced at Gao Yang, then he turned back, smiled bitterly, and said in a deep voice: "I am Ukrainian, and I don't want to go anywhere."

    There was a brief silence in the car, but not long after, the old man smiled bitterly again and said: "I'm sorry, I think I lied out of pride, well, if I can choose again, I will definitely leave Ukraine  , my ideals, my efforts, my dead father, my wife, my son and daughter, all of them hope that I can work as an engineer instead of driving a taxi here, which I have chosen for this country.  Loyalty, but my loyalty can only make me a taxi driver. I think this is fate. I used to be a promising and respected engineer, but now I am driving a damn taxi here!  This damn taxi!¡±

    The old man became excited again. He unconsciously raised his voice and said excitedly: "Gentlemen, I have experienced the disintegration of the Soviet Union! The motherland for which I planned to sacrifice everything is gone. I have become a Ukrainian, okay! Now I am  I have to fucking face this again. I watch my country being fucked into what it is now again! And I can't do anything. I have to drive this car to support my family. Damn it.  Taxi, because my pension, which is not even enough for food, is often not paid to me!"

    The old man was a little out of control, because he suddenly started to shed tears while he was talking. After wiping his tears, he parked the car on the side of the road, wiped it on his face quickly, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, I have some problems."  I¡¯m so excited, please don¡¯t get out of the car, it¡¯s too dangerous here, we¡¯ll leave right away, we¡¯ll leave right away.¡±

    Grolev said warmly: "It's okay, sir, you can take a rest here."

    The old man buried his face on the steering wheel, shrugged his shoulders, and sobbed: "It's all ruined. Once again, everything will be ruined."

    After staying there for about three minutes, the old man raised his head, picked up a car-wiping towel and wiped his face with it. He still had a self-deprecating smile on his face, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I was a little too excited. Let me."  You see a grumbling old man here crying, oh, I can only say I'm sorry."

    Gao Yang whispered: "It's okay, sir, we understand you, please don't be ashamed of this. In addition, I must tell you that there are too few people like you who understand what your country will face. There are always wise men in this world."  It¡¯s lonely.¡±

    The old man shook his head, wiped his hands with a clean white towel, stretched out his hand to Grolev, and whispered: "I'm glad to meet you. Thank you for listening to an old man's complaints. I  His name is Nikolai Yashkov."

    Grolev whispered: "You can call me Yuri. Nice to meet you, Mr. Yashkov."

    "My name is Peter, nice to meet you, Mr. Yashkov."

    After Gao Yang reported the false name on his passport, which he would always use in Ukraine, he shook hands with Nikolai.

    Nikolai forced a smile and whispered: "I apologize to you two again, now we continue on the road."

    After the car started driving again, Gao Yang whispered: "Mr. Yashkov, can I ask why you didn't go to other countries when the Soviet Union collapsed? I think your most suitable position should be an engineer, not a rental car."  Car driver.¡±

    Nicholas smiled bitterly and said: "Destiny, this is fate. I was still young at the time, not yet forty years old, and it was the age of my prime. And I was already a senior engineer at the Black Sea Shipyard, but many people were young.  I left, but I didn¡¯t, because I was regarded as the hope of the Black Sea shipyard, ?So they left me a position. Although the treatment was not as good as going abroad, I still wanted to stay.

    At that time, many people had illusions, thinking that the Black Sea shipyards could survive even if they built civilian ships. But it turned out that these were all illusions and we were fooled. In 1995, the aircraft carrier was handed over to the Black Sea  The shipyard has full authority to dispose of it, but how can it dispose of it?  It was impossible for us to finish it. That was when our old captain Marklov retired. The Black Sea Shipyard was deteriorating year by year. We had no work to do. We relied on the sales bottom line to pay our employees, meager salaries.  Although it was a small amount, I could still make ends meet, until there was nothing to sell and employees' wages could not be paid, so I was forced to retire early, and that was already 2000.  "

    After waving his hand, Nicholas sighed: "The Americans have tricked us. My heart is broken when I see the aircraft carrier I have devoted half my life to being dismantled into an empty shell and finally being towed away as scrap metal."  , losing your job, losing your retirement gold, are nothing compared to the feeling of watching your hard work being dragged away as scrap metal, but fortunately, the aircraft carrier has been given a new life, no matter what, it is better than staying in the dock.  It would be better if the inside is completely rusted.

    There is nothing left in the Black Sea Shipyard, why don¡¯t I leave?  Because I am valued, gentlemen, sometimes it is not good to be valued, and I am reluctant to leave. My family and everything I own are in Ukraine. How can I leave so easily?  "

    Gao Yang nodded lightly, but before she had time to express her opinion, Nicholas smiled bitterly again and said: "Sorry, sorry, I lied again. I have said this rhetoric too much over the years.  As for habits becoming natural, in fact, where can I go? I haven't worked for a long time, and my professional knowledge has no place to display. I have fallen behind. Just like the Black Sea Shipyard, we have fallen behind together, China, South Korea  , they have trained their own engineers. They no longer need us old guys, at least not as much as before. Now the new engineers have richer knowledge and use new machinery and equipment. Yes, new people are in the new shipyard.  New ships are built, and old men accompany the old shipyards to rot with the old ships. This is the fate of those of us."

    It was so sad that Gao Yang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He said in a deep voice: "Don't say that, every engineer is a valuable asset."

    Nicholas smiled and said: "Thank you for your comfort, but this is really fate. In 1992, some Chinese people invited me to go to China, but I didn't go because I felt that the Black Sea Shipyard needed me more. It's a pity that I missed that  If I have a chance, I will never have a chance again. Who would value an engineer who has not done any actual work in twenty years? Is there any?"

    Gao Yang couldn¡¯t answer Nicholas¡¯s question because he didn¡¯t know anything about the field of this question.

    Not hearing Gao Yang's response, Nicholas smiled and said: "I was forced to retire, but my pension was not even enough to eat, and my wife was sick, so I came to drive a taxi.  The money I make from driving a taxi is much more than my pension. Speaking of which, I started doing this business in 2003, so it has been eleven years. In fact, I should be grateful to this profession and this car for providing me with a job.  "

    Gao Yang couldn't help but said: "Don't you have children?"

    Although he knew that there were different views on old-age care, Gao Yang still asked his question.

    Nicholas smiled and said: "Yes, he just passed the professional engineer exam last year and became an engineer. I trained my son to become an engineer with the money I earned from driving a taxi. He became an engineer last year when he was only 27 years old.  I became an engineer, and I am much more capable than I was back then.¡±

    After finishing speaking, Nikolay sighed again: "Speaking of this, my mood became worse again. My son became an engineer but could not find any job. Ukraine could not provide him with job opportunities. He found  I have been working for a long time, and given the current situation, I may not be able to give him any job opportunities for a long, long time. He wanted to drive a taxi like me. After being scolded by me, he has given up this idea now. I hope he  He can go abroad to look for opportunities, and maybe find a job that suits him, but it¡¯s very, very difficult.¡±

    After Gao Yang thought about it seriously, he said to Nikolai: "Mr. Yashkov, I have a proposal. I hope you can consider it. It's like this. We are outsiders and we need a reliable driver to guide us."  We go to many places, and compared to your peers, I think you are very suitable, what do you mean?"

    After Nikolai hesitated for a moment, he said: "You want to charter a car? Well, that's okay, no problem, but I have to ask what the price is for chartering a car for a day now. If you also need to use the car at night, the price will be higher.  , the current situation is not good, the prices have gone up, I don¡¯t know if you can accept it.¡±

    Gao Yang smiled and said: "Don't ask, what do you think of a thousand dollars a day? Oh, we are reporters. Sometimes it is inevitable to go to some dangerous places. If you go to dangerous places, you will also get a hazard pay. Why?  How?"
