"The data submitted by Team Leader Ji for the Black Arrow anti-tank missile in this competition stunned the judges. They are just waiting for the semi-final to verify the authenticity." Zhou Xi, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, turned his head and said excitedly.
...Black Arrow.
Chief Engineer Xiao's naming skills are really good.
"Verify it. The higher-ups have allocated funds for mass production, how could it be fake?" Ji Wanqing answered casually, his eyes never leaving the car window.
In the 1970s, Shanghai was not as good as the international city that would be famous abroad in the future. There were many foreigners on the streets.
Zhou Xi was worried, "So, this time, other research institutes all joked that we were here to compete for second place."
Little did we know that in the future, if there were competitions with Ji Wanqing participating, everyone would be able to compete for second place.
We drove to the guesthouse. This venue, which is a gymnasium, has already been covered with silk curtains and is being used to set up exhibition stands.
Zhao Fangfang and Zhang Zhi, two girls from the Human Resources Department, went to sign for the samples for the exhibition. There was no explosive inside, just a model. The real thing was handed directly to the organizer.
Ji Wanqing was about to take Yuan Wei to the Huamao Market in Shanghai when a middle-aged man in a Mao suit came over and asked, "Are you a laborer at the Anhui Military Factory?"
Ji Wanqing nodded: "Yes."
The man smiled and said, "I am Chen Zhou, the deputy manager of Huayang Electronics Factory. On behalf of our chairman, I would like to invite you to have a meal at the Pearl Hotel."
"Electronics factory?"
Why did the electronics factory look for her?
Chen Zhou said with a smile, "Well, the anti-clip technology you used when designing the Black Arrow is quite shocking in our military industry, so we would like to invite you to come to our electronics factory to give us some advice. Don't worry, the salary is definitely considerable! If you have any requirements, feel free to ask!"
Ji Wanqing shrugged. "I'm sorry, but I signed a confidentiality agreement when I joined the company and learned about the confidentiality regulations."
Chen Zhou was still trying to argue, "Our electronics factory has a military background, and we have applied to the higher-ups for the invitation."
"You signed the Ontario agreement, you applied for the Shanghai city leader, when will you bring the approval slip from the Central Military Commission, I will definitely say nothing."
Ji Wanqing looked up and saw several comrades holding documents and blocking people outside the guesthouse. He simply gave up going to the Huamao Shopping Mall and went back to the guesthouse.
Youdao offended his direct superiors during his tenure. His wife and he were both in Ontario. She wanted to let it go, but she got involved for some immediate benefits.
The rooms in the guesthouse are like the small hotels in later generations.
Ji Wanqing closed the doors and windows tightly and turned into the space.
After I harvested the small vegetables last time, I have been lazy and didn't want to plant them. Now I have just gathered a bunch of vegetables and am ready to go shopping, so I have no idea where to use my energy, so I just planted the land again.
The juicy white radish stewed with mutton in winter is so delicious and sweet, you must have more.
The crisp and tender pea tips only need to be blanched over a low heat to enjoy their extremely refreshing taste.
There were also tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, etc. that Ji Wanqing loved to eat, all of which were planted at once.
Anyway, you can choose the season for space planting, so anything you plant will survive.
In the evening, Chen Fangfang and Zhang Zhi came back after finishing their work, and Ji Wanqing invited everyone to the state-owned hotel for their first meal in Shanghai.
I exchanged the ticket with the front desk lady at the guesthouse.
"Judge, the exhibition will officially begin in three days, and the organizers will invite all participants to come on stage and give speeches." Chen Fangfang held a notebook, her freckled face full of seriousness.
"Well, how long will it take? Do I need to prepare a speech?"
"It's similar to introducing yourself so that the judges can get to know you. You need a speech script."
I have a good memory, and I can think of everything in advance. I am ashamed that I have just joined the company for a short time, but I have surpassed other colleagues and become a new candidate for business trip opportunities.
Ji Wanqing likes people who are serious and capable.
"Fangfang, do you have any specific career plans for the future?"
career planning.
Such a strange yet accurate word.
Chen Fangfang looked at Ji Wanqing with admiration and shook her head. "My mother gave me this job when she retired."
"After returning from Shanghai, you should be able to apply for your own assistant. Are you interested in transferring to our research department?"
Chen Fangfang seemed to be hit by a pancake and immediately responded, "Of course!"
The salary and benefits of the Research Department are the best in the entire military factory!
Ji Wanqing laid out the conditions for employment, "But I may need you to help me with some other personal matters. But don't worry, in addition to the salary the military factory gives you, I will pay you extra."
Chen Fangfang shook her head hurriedly. "The job of an assistant is to help you deal with those trivial matters so that you can concentrate on scientific research. How can I ask for extra compensation for these things that I should do?"
"This... you will know when the time comes," Ji Wanqing said without saying anything, and asked everyone to continue eating.
The next day, I had dinner with the organizers of the competition. We toasted each other and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
On the third day, we entered the exhibition early to set up the booth and participate in the rehearsal of the opening ceremony.
The competition will last for a total of 6 days.
A half-day opening ceremony, two and a half days of preliminary rounds, two days of semi-finals, and the final day for the awards ceremony.
When the competition officially started, Ji Wanqing stood out among the crowd of people wearing Zhongshan suits and shirts. Anyone who saw her would notice her at first sight.
It's not because of his appearance, as we were too far away that anyone could tell what he looked like, but his temperament, straight back, slightly bowed chin, and the position of his feet showed that he was a cultured person with a wealth of knowledge and literary talent.
When it was Ji Wanqing's turn to speak, her voice was clear, fast and slow, and her pronunciation was clear and rhythmic. She spoke standard Mandarin with ups and downs, just like a host at a radio station.
When many judges learned that she was the chief engineer of Black Arrow this year, they all started to look for their own unmarried young men, but were disappointed to learn that Ji Gong was married.
The opening ceremony is over.
Wang Yimei went up to draw lots as a representative, and was drawn to have the preliminary round scheduled for tomorrow morning.
The competition time was very tight, but their work was well prepared. Whether it was the virtual data simulation demonstration in the preliminary round or the actual combat drill effect in the semi-final, they were invincible and made it straight to the final and won the championship!
Those who know a little bit about the inside story, such as those in Shanghai and Beijing, are not too surprised. The Black Arrow is a high-performance, cost-effective individual combat weapon that simply crushes all existing portable heavy weapons!
In the eyes of others, the Ontario team emerged as a dark horse and became an instant success in this field.
When the awards were being presented, reporters' cameras were clicking and flashing, and many bigwigs came over to hand out their business cards and make friends. Among them, those who tried to poach were only a minority, and they got a real taste of what it means to be in high spirits.
Ji Wanqing was glad that she had been hired by the Anhui Military Factory to research weapon design and development, with a focus on mechanical manufacturing. Whether it was building nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, or spacecraft, she definitely wasn't that confident now.
