"Of course, little brother, we can't take such big steps. We can only say that we are developing preliminary aircraft and aerospace fighters. We are still a long way from the starships and spacecraft that will dominate the starry sky as imagined in the future! Our research and development projects may only be preliminary prototypes!"

When aircraft can be as technologically mature as today's aircraft, and can carry people to travel in space and allow humans to survive properly, that will be the real field of spacecraft. Similarly, the same principle applies to starships! The difficulty of aerospace fighters will be even greater than that of space shuttles.

"That's enough, that's enough. It's already cool, Tongtong, boss, we don't need to turn fantasy into reality right now!" Jin Xin spread his hands. He was certain that being able to travel between Earth and outer space was already a great breakthrough, and he didn't want to overthink it. Taking too big a step would easily cause him to pull, and he was not one for greed.

Taking one step at a time and proceeding steadily is their usual approach.

Come on, roll up your sleeves and work hard. If you master the basics, you can work on a project with Tongtong. Just thinking about this makes Jin Xin very motivated! If you say that Jin Xin was excited about graduating early before, then now, Jin Xin is really going to fight for his interests and dreams!

People’s dreams are something that can be pursued. Everyone has dreams, but if you just imagine without working hard, the dreams will become fantasies.

However, if the seeds of dreams have already sprouted, continuous pursuit and nurturing will allow them to blossom brilliantly within the heart. Wu Tong hopes that the young man will hold his head high and walk briskly, embracing a brighter and more prosperous life, living up to his youth and prime. Bravely pursue your dreams and fly freely. She is honored to be the one who supports the young man's freedom and provides him with a solid foundation.

Although the above meant that Wu Tong would stay at least until the 6th or 7th of the Lunar New Year before returning to the Jinwu Base, Wu Tong's sense of responsibility was still a concern. She couldn't afford to let others work hard at the R&D base while she stayed home to enjoy the warmth of her family without a fully delivered project.

So, after the first day of the new year, which is also the real Spring Festival, Wu Tong said goodbye to her family with great regret. She planned to visit her teacher on the way tomorrow and then set off directly to the base!

"Don't worry, Tongtong. We'll all be home, fine. Don't worry about us!" Although they were reluctant to see their child come and go so quickly, the family understood the weight of responsibility Wu Tong shouldered. They were all reasonable people, so they immediately supported Wu Tong's decision.

The next day, they sent Wu Tong out together.

"I will finish the finishing work at hand and come back as soon as possible. Then I will make time to stay at home with you and will not go anywhere! Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt, you can take advantage of your vacation to think about where we should go this year!" Wu Tong hugged his family members again one by one.

She'd been working on the project for almost two years, and it was time to take some time off to spend time with her family. The first half of the year was spent wrapping up the controlled nuclear fusion project, the Jinwu Demonstration Reactor, and with that, combined with her vacation, Wu Tong planned to start her new project in the second half of the year, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Research and development, learning, and exploring the unknown are very important and interesting to her, but her family is equally important to her. Wu Tong tries her best to strike a balance between the two aspects, ensuring her own interests and work, as well as her responsibilities to the best of her ability, and also trying her best to take care of her family.

Everyone would say "deeply understanding and righteous" but, if possible, Wu Tong didn't want her family to use these four words to comfort her. After all, she was human, not a saint, and couldn't be selfless. Compared to those ancestors who kept their identities secret and made silent contributions, she was probably far behind in this regard! However, this was her few remaining attachments, and Wu Tong was not prepared to change or correct them.

"Brother, come on, I'll wait for you!" Wu Tong finally gave Jin Xin a cheering gesture, got into the car, waved to her family, and drove away. If she didn't act decisively, Wu Tong felt that it would be difficult for her to face the separation rationally.

"Mr. Wu, you could actually spend more time at home!" Controlled nuclear fusion had already been successfully ignited, and the data for stable operation had been compiled. This was a true breakthrough. The higher-ups' demands on Mr. Wu didn't force him to compress the schedule.

"No, I won't. The sooner we finish, the sooner the technology can be popularized. The sooner the country can benefit, and the sooner I can free up my hands for other things!" A short pain is better than a long one. A temporary separation, a way to prepare for a longer, peaceful vacation, is what Wu Tong prefers. He believes in fulfilling the responsibilities he shoulders. He worries that by acting on his own selfish desires and disregarding the expectations of millions, he's ruining his family's fortune.

Consider it her superstition, or perhaps her sense of responsibility getting the better of her. She wouldn't be able to stay home alone until the project was handed over. Completing the project sooner would also allow the entire team of hard-working R&D personnel to receive their share of the honor and rewards sooner!

Their R&D personnel worked tirelessly for a whole year. If you count the years of tireless dedication of fusion researchers to the controlled nuclear fusion project... everyone deserves the above reward!

Wu Tong doesn't want to slow down the process because of himself!

Materials research and development had been largely completed even before the Jinwu Demonstration Reactor was built. Cheng, who primarily oversaw the Jinwu project team and the material handling, provided her with immense support. The final work didn't require constant oversight from the teacher. Therefore, Wu Tong repeatedly urged the teacher to rest at home. If she truly expressed interest in following through on the project, they welcomed her to return after a good rest.

Wu Tong also briefed Lu Xiao on this. The Jinwu Demonstration Reactor's supercomputer control program was operating smoothly, and everything was meeting expectations. Lu's area of responsibility was also gaining momentum, and he could spend more time in Shangjing and return to base if he felt like it.

"Go, go. The teacher won't keep you any longer. Take care of your health. Xiao An, Xiao Dan, please take good care of your Mr. Wu! I'll help you with the school. And Xiao Xu and Xiao Li, don't worry!" After talking to Wu Tong, Cheng Lao knew that Wu Tong was going to return to the base, so he sent Wu Tong out without delaying any more time.

Things are actually the simplest at the school. They know what Wu Tong is busy with. Peking University is proud of Wu Tong and will never, at this time, make arrangements for Wu Tong to do something that would hinder him!

Although Wu Tong is in remote tutoring, the school is keeping an eye on her students. The math masters in the School of Mathematics pay more attention to their studies than to their own students!
