The base commander looked at her with great satisfaction.

Over the years, he has come to know how difficult things have been for the people in front of him, who have escaped death several times, yet he remains without regret.

In fact, Lin Chuchu's merits were military achievements, but promoting her to academician is the same.

"Here, take this with you, and take the previous one off."

Lin Chuchu obediently stepped forward and pinned the two medals to her chest.

The base commander nodded in satisfaction. "Go ahead. This looks much better. Go to the research lab whenever you want these next couple of days. We won't require you to join any group for now. Go and take a look around. If you find any research projects that interest you, then submit your application."

This research base was originally established because of Lin Chuchu, and now it has become the largest research base in China, with dozens of experimental groups of all sizes, covering all kinds of research projects.

Nowadays, there are more and more researchers at the base, and of course, there is a lot of turnover. People who leave here can stand on their own in other places.

Lin Chuchu led Liu Xiaonuan toward the research site, but instead of going to the research lab, they went to the photocopying room first.

All the books in the copy room were successfully copied from the space. Many books have been sent for mass copying, while the remaining books, which are not suitable for public circulation, have only been copied in small batches.

The two people who used to be Lin Chuchu's assistants are still here, working together to compile the book.

Upon seeing Lin Chuchu return, he immediately went to greet her.

"Comrade Lin, you're back. Is there anything we can do for you this time?"

The two men looked at Lin Chuchu expectantly. In fact, they didn't have much work to do and were quite idle every day. They always felt ashamed to accept such a high salary.

Lin Chuchu shook her head. "I'm fine. I just came to check on things. You guys go ahead with your work."

After saying that, he went to the warehouse where the cultural relics were stored. At present, there is still a batch of cultural relics in the warehouse that have not been sorted out.

The cultural relics experts were still busy with their work, and when they saw Lin Chuchu arrive, they only nodded and greeted her, without paying any attention to her.

Lin Chuchu didn't intend to disturb them; she just came over for a quick look and then left.

As she went out, it was almost noon, so Lin Chuchu decided not to go find Du Lingling and the others and simply waited on the way to the cafeteria.

Half an hour later, the researchers came out of the research building, and people who knew Lin Chuchu greeted her.

"Comrade Lin, you're back from your mission?"

"Haha, I never expected you to become an academician. Congratulations!"

"Tsk tsk, becoming an academician at such a young age, it seems the missions you've been assigned these past few times have been quite difficult."

When they saw Academician Lin Chuchu's name tag, they all joked that none of them suspected anything was amiss, but rather that Lin Chuchu had earned her academician status through her own merit.

Lin Chuchu greeted them with a smile. Some of them were of the same generation as them, while others were of the same generation as her master. These people were genuinely happy for Lin Chuchu.

Soon, Du Lingling and the others came out of the research building together, gesturing excitedly as they discussed something.

All of Lin Chuchu's former group members were in it, and Lin Chuchu knew most of them.

Lin Chuchu stood to the side without saying a word, intending to see when these people would notice her.

Du Lingling was discussing research data with Researcher Tian, ​​and they were very engrossed in their conversation, with other people occasionally joining in.

As Du Lingling brushed past Lin Chuchu, she suddenly seemed to see a familiar figure. She abruptly stopped and turned around, only to see Lin Chuchu's smiling eyes.

"Ahhh~~ Sister Chuchu, you're back!"

Her voice suddenly rose, and she lunged towards Lin Chuchu.

Lin Chuchu quickly hugged her, "Be careful! Look at your big belly, it scares me. How dare you run away?"

"This kid is tough, don't worry, he'll be fine."

Du Lingling was overjoyed and chattered excitedly around Lin Chuchu.

Song Luobai and the others gathered around, and Feng Tao said with a smile, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be an academician now. From now on, will we have to call you Academician Lin?"

Feng Tao joked with a smile.

Lin Chuchu glanced at his name tag as well. "Aren't you an associate academician now? Your father must be very happy."

"Haha, that's right. When I told my dad, he was so happy he cried. I heard he drank half a jin of baijiu that night!"

Feng Tao looked smug; his family had produced a researcher, and his father was sure to be happy.

Lin Chuchu then looked at the others. Zhou Lichen and Researcher Hou were both academicians and first-level researchers, while only Researcher Tian was an associate academician.

Seeing Lin Chuchu's curious expression, Feng Tao explained, "The higher-ups originally intended to give him an academician position, but recently he's been causing trouble and even lost some valuable materials."

"The base leader said that his faults outweigh his merits, so he can only be given the position of associate academician for the time being."

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads to suppress their laughter.

Researcher Tian looked helpless, then scratched his head sheepishly, "I didn't want to either, it was really a mistake at the time, you can ask them if you don't believe me."

Du Lingling and Researcher Hou rolled their eyes in unison. Others might believe what they were saying, but they had seen it with their own eyes.

They had warned Researcher Tian during the initial experiment, but he was careless and now he deserves it.

Du Lingling pulled Lin Chuchu's hand and walked forward. "Ignore him. We've told him several times already, but he's still so careless. We don't want to deal with him anymore."

"If anyone should be in charge, it should be Researcher Hou. He's the instruction manual for Researcher Tian."

His tone was entirely teasing, without a trace of jealousy or anything else.

Even Du Lingling had to admit that this statement was absolutely right.

Even she couldn't fully protect her husband.

A group of people laughed and followed, while two people deliberately lagged behind. A female researcher asked in a low voice.

"Who is this Comrade Lin? She became an academician at such a young age? Is she as accomplished as Researcher Hou and Researcher Zhou?"

The comrade she was pulling said, "They used to be in the same group and developed a lot of weapons, including the tank rocket launcher."

"That's still not enough."

The woman who spoke was clearly somewhat unconvinced.

"In the past few years, Comrade Lin has spent half the year traveling on business, and all of them were classified missions. Do you think she is qualified?"

The fact that they were never able to ask what the missions were, or even that they were not qualified to participate, shows that it was only right that Comrade Lin was awarded the position of academician.

They were not at all dissatisfied.

The woman pouted, gritted her teeth, and looked at Lin Chuchu, who was surrounded by admirers, her face full of resentment and dissatisfaction.
