Chapter 89 Why Are You Standing There?

The laboratory was silent. Everyone looked at this extremely young girl, not knowing how to react for a moment.

He Jianqi took the lead in applauding and said:

"What are you all standing there for? Welcome new comrade Ye!"

So the researchers in the entire conference room all applauded in confusion, and after applauding, it was time to ask questions:

"Where did you recruit this newcomer? He's so young, is he an adult?"

"Who should I bring this to?"

"She is so young, what can she do?"

Ye Mu listened to their questions, and then answered them in detail again:

"I'm from the army, Song Yanzhou's wife, and I've reached adulthood this year. I'm better at mechanics, but I've also dabbled in other areas."

"I can set up my own research project without anyone having to take time out to teach me and delay the masters' research."

After hearing what she said, everyone fell silent. No one was in a hurry to object to Ye Mu's words, but instead looked at He Jianqi.

He Jianqi certainly wouldn't recruit someone who knows nothing, but can someone so young do research on his own?

Is this true or false?

"I do know Song Yanzhou." A researcher said, "He's actually married. I want to find a date for my granddaughter who's of marriageable age."

"I want to introduce a connection to my relative. He's a good boy."

Somehow, the atmosphere and topic in the conference room suddenly changed direction, and then someone came back to ask He Jianqi:

"Lao He, tell me, why are you grinning like an idiot?"

"Some comrades know, and some comrades definitely know." He Jianqi said, "Didn't I give Mr. Zhang a pistol yesterday? That was the pistol that Ye Mu modified."

"Don't underestimate Ye Mu because she is young, but I totally agree with her decision to set up her own independent research project."

As the person who personally took over and drew the blueprint based on the pistol, Mr. Zhang naturally knew how powerful the modification of the pistol was. His eyes changed instantly when he looked at Ye Mu, and he said:

"It turned out to be a pistol modified by Comrade Ye Mu. It's true that young people are formidable. I have already drawn the blueprint of the gun. Comrade Ye, come with me to check it out later. Is there anything wrong with it or any incorrect data?"

"I've seen that gun too. It's really well modified. You have such talent at such a young age. Young comrade, you should work hard in the research institute. You will definitely achieve more amazing results in the future!"

"Although you don't want a teacher to guide you, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask us. Although we are busy, we can still find time to give you an answer and teach you something."

"You are right, young people are the future of the country. Only when young comrades like you develop can the country become truly strong."

"There are other people in the research institute who are a dozen years older than you. They are students of us old men. If you can't get along with us old men, you can also look for them."

They showed the most sincere kindness to Ye Mu. Ye Mu nodded, very grateful for these people's kindness and friendliness.

It seemed that before she entered the institute, she had assumed that the people in the institute were too unfriendly.

The people of this era were kinder and more sincere than she had expected. They were unlike some interstellar research institutes that were filled with intrigue.

However, Ye Mu had also received such treatment in some interstellar spaces. Now she could give them some positioning based on her own worldview and add the characteristics of this era.

Then you will know better what to do.

"Thank you, masters. I will not be polite to you if I get into trouble."

Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Ye Mu also smiled and expressed his gratitude.

He Jianqi then said:

"You are worrying about nothing. I guess Ye Mu doesn't need your help at all. Maybe one day you will have to ask Ye Mu for help."

Everyone was dissatisfied with He Jianqi's words and stared at him:

"How can you, Old He, talk nonsense in front of the new comrades! Am I, an old man, so useless?"

"We can't help, and you, Old He, can't help either, you little old man."

He Jianqi smiled and said:

"I'm serious. Have you all finished looking at the blueprints of the new fighter jets that the army sent over yesterday?"

"I've read it. The blueprint is not complete at all. When will the fighter researcher you applied for come to our place?"

"Don't let your application be rejected. We still need to send our drawings over."

"Old He, you have to handle this matter well. It would be best if you could invite the master who drew the blueprint to the institute. I'm surprised. If it wasn't drawn by Old Xu, who else could it be?"

He Jianqi looked at their puzzled expressions, then he took out the drawings he had brought back slowly, put them on the table and said:

"I'm not worried about the seconded researcher now anyway. Let me show you the new work of the master who drew the blueprints."

“I just got this today.”

When the ten or so pages of design drawings were passed around, no one in the conference room could handle one. But when they heard that they were the drawings of the master who drew fighter jets, they all ran over to look at them together with the people who had been assigned the drawings.

Everyone exchanged the drawings and after reading them, they were very excited and said:

"This fighter will definitely work!"

"If this blueprint could be more detailed, the factory could start production directly!"

"Why did this master design this place like this? Lao He, please invite the master to the institute to give us some guidance so that we can learn from him. Although we are old, there is no end to learning!"

"That's right. I was wondering why I couldn't see you at the research institute the whole day today. It turns out you went to meet this master. You must bring me, Zhang, with you!" Old Zhang held the blueprint and accused He Jianqi of being too selfish for going to meet the master alone!

"That's true. If you bring someone with you, you can discuss academic matters with the master and make progress together!"

With Mr. Zhang taking the lead, more people started to complain, saying that Mr. He is such an adult, but he still doesn't think things through.

They took turns talking, and He Jianqi couldn't find a chance to interject and explain himself.

After this group of old men said they were satisfied, He Jianqi found an opportunity to redress his grievances:

"I didn't just go there to get the blueprints. I brought the little master to the research institute. Yesterday's blueprint and this blueprint were drawn by Ye Mu. If you have any ideas or questions, why don't you just ask Ye Mu directly? I didn't stop you from having academic exchanges with Ye Mu."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Ye Mu. The conference room fell into silence for a moment.

The first person to speak was Mr. Zhang. He glanced at Ye Mu, and Ye Mu smiled at him politely. Mr. Zhang immediately took the drawings in his hand and asked Ye Mu question after question.

Fortunately, Ye Mu had read several books that Mr. Xu had prepared for her, so she used what she had learned from the books to explain her design principles. If there were any things beyond the scope, she would make a metaphorical guess to avoid revealing any flaws.

When the others saw what Mr. Zhang did, they all took their drawings and went over to have friendly "academic exchanges" with Ye Mu.

He Jianqi was originally near Ye Mu, but was pushed directly to the edge.
