"Madam, 冊, 冊, 嗚嗚," Sheng Jiuan stretched out his chubby little hand to wipe the tears of his great-grandmother.
"Be good." Grandma Sheng quickly took out silk and wiped her tears.
She was a great person. When the old man wanted to send his last son to the battlefield, Grandma Sheng made a fuss and cried to stop him.
The young son, who was only a few years old at the time, said to her, "Mom, our principal said that this war must be fought. If we don't fight now, it will be left to our sons, grandchildren and future generations to fight. If we fight now, our sons and grandchildren can live a peaceful life."
After the younger son finished speaking, he resolutely packed his bag and Grandma Sheng could only bid him farewell with tears in her eyes.
Later, the last son died, and a few years later, the old man also passed away. Grandma Sheng raised Sheng Tunan alone.
Later, Sheng Tunan joined the army. Every night when it was quiet, Grandma Sheng would sit alone in the yard, recalling the time before the war, when the old man was doing carpentry work in the yard and the three sons were playing and laughing in the yard.
She remembered how many times Grandma Sheng wanted to commit suicide to find them. But she was afraid that after she went down, the old man and his son would blame her for not cherishing her life. Before his death, the old man repeatedly told her to live well.
"Grandma." Zhan Xinyue hugged Grandma Sheng with both hands. She guessed what the old lady was thinking at this moment, but she couldn't find any words of comfort. She could only give her a big hug.
"I'm fine." Grandma Sheng smiled. She was living a good life now. She wanted to see more of the beautiful mountains and rivers of her motherland with her own eyes. After 20 years, she would reunite with her relatives in the underworld and tell them everything.
"Ding ding," suddenly, the phone rang.
Ouyang Jie picked up the phone and a few seconds later said to his daughter, "Xinyue, it's a lady who's looking for you. She sounds very excited."
Zhan Xinyue wondered, the only woman she was familiar with besides the one present today was Aunt Xu, was there something wrong with her family? Normally, Aunt Xu was quite stable.
"Hello," Zhan Xinyue answered the phone.
"Yes, I am."
"What? Really?"
Zhan Xinyue hung up the phone, laughing with tears in her eyes, her face flushed with excitement.
"Tunan, Fuyao, this is Academician Huang who just called. The chip development has been successful, finally successful." Zhan Xinyue did not keep anyone in suspense and loudly shared her joy with everyone.
"Really?" Shen Fuyao jumped up excitedly.
"When I got off work yesterday, my teacher said it should be soon, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"That's great, that's great." Everyone was excited.
Most people here know the importance of wafers. Now that China can develop wafers on its own, it will no longer be controlled by others and will no longer need to spend a lot of money, energy and manpower to secretly transport wafers from Hong Kong.
"Let's go and see Jingyuan now." Sheng Tunan was so excited that he stood up. Now that China has its own Jingyuan, he can do the moon landing experiment without any worries. He wants to test the "Tiangongmen" plan as soon as possible, so that he can travel to other worlds. He wants to take tanks, cannons and grandma to the war years to save the lives of the three brothers of the Sheng family.
"Let's eat first." Zhan Xinyue was also very excited. She also wanted to go over early to confirm with Huang Lingyi whether Jingyuan could go into mass production immediately. She wanted to manufacture the machine before the world's first machine was launched on the market, so as to seize the initiative and make more money in the shortest time.
After all, Sheng Tunan's "Tiangongmen" plan required a lot of funds.
“Don’t wait for an hour or two. The babies haven’t eaten their birthday cakes yet. Let’s eat first and then go over together.” Shen Min’e also said.
"I was so happy that I lost my mind." Sheng Tunan patted his head and took Sheng Jiuan from Grandma Sheng's arms, "Lele, Daddy will take you to blow the candles."
Dong Wushuang and Ouyang Jie held Shen Wuxian and Ouyang Yunqi respectively, and came to the one-meter-high cake together, lit the birthday candles, and sang the birthday song.
"Baby, blow the candles, blow." Zhan Xinyue made a whirring motion.
The three little ones followed suit and snorted. With the concerted efforts of the three brothers, the one-year-old Candle was, well, extinguished by their saliva.
The candles were taken out, and Zhan Xinyue, as the mother of the children, distributed the cake to everyone. They were all the babies' relatives, and everyone ignored the little ones' saliva and happily ate the cakes.
After eating the cake, we went to the restaurant. The big round table was filled with delicacies from land and sea. Zhan Xinyue couldn't help but sigh, today is really a good day, not only the drug for uremia was successfully launched on the market, but also the day of Jingyuan's successful research and development.
It was also the triplets’ first birthday, a very memorable day.
June 31, 1980, she will always remember!
After dinner, Sheng Tunan, Zhan Xinyue and Shen Fuyao hurried to Huanyu Island.
"Sister-in-law, I am dreaming, please pinch me." Shen Fuyao still dared to believe it. Over the years, Academician Huang took her and a group of students to conduct experiments day and night. She firmly believed that the crystal element would be invented sooner or later. But when this day really came, Shen Fuyao dared not believe it anymore.
"It's true." Zhan Xinyue gently rubbed her sister-in-law's face and said with certainty and affirmation: "You succeeded. Now China has its own crystal."
Sheng Tunan stepped on the accelerator to speed up, but when he thought of his wife and sister in the car, he immediately slowed down, silently repeating "safety first, safety first" in his heart, suppressing his excited emotions and driving the car steadily.
Fortunately, Ouyang Mansion is far from Huanyu Island, and the three of them finally arrived at Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical's wafer research and development base at a little after two in the afternoon.
As soon as Sheng Tunan parked the car, Zhan Xinyue and Shen Fuyao jumped out of the back seat and ran upstairs in a hurry.
"Slow down." Sheng Tunan took out the car key and ran after the two of them. He had long legs and caught up with them in no time. She held Zhan Xinyue's hand and ran upstairs.
"Teacher, teacher," Shen Fuyao, with no one to hold him, moved a little slowly, ran upstairs, went to the office first, and when he didn't see Academician Huang, he went straight to the laboratory.
The laboratory had a fingerprint lock. Shen Fuyao pressed his thumb on it and the door of the laboratory opened. There was another door inside, which was a combination lock. Shen Fuyao pressed a series of numbers and the second door opened. Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue followed in and saw Huang Lingyi sitting in front of the machine, surrounded by a group of students.
"Teacher." Shen Fuyao spoke, but Huang Lingyi didn't hear him as he was concentrating on explaining.
Shen Fuyao was about to shout again, but was stopped by Zhan Xinyue, "Let's listen first."
The three of them stood quietly behind Academician Huang and listened to her calculations. After more than half an hour, Huang Lingyi finished speaking. Shen Fuyao said to his elder brother and sister-in-law in surprise, "The chip has really been developed, and it has relatively complete functions. We in China finally have our own chip.
Perhaps Shen Fuyao's voice was too exciting, Huang Lingyi and the other students finally discovered that there were three more people in the laboratory.
"Congratulations, Academician Huang." Zhan Xinyue spoke first.
"We have finally lived up to everyone's expectations," Huang Lingyi said. "We also have to thank Comrade Zhan for his unconditional financial support and support in terms of machinery. Of course, it would not have been possible for us to develop the first generation of Huaxin so quickly."
Huang Lingyi and the other students all had red eyes, probably because they had cried excitedly in the morning.
"Academician Huang, let's go to the office and sit down." Zhan Xinyue said.
"Okay." Huang Lingyi nodded, took off his laboratory clothes and went out with Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan. Shen Fuyao stayed in the laboratory because she wanted to see Jingyuan again.
The three of them walked into the office, and Zhan Xinyue said straight to the point: "Academician Huang, you are the first person in China to independently develop wafers. You will definitely be recorded in history in the future. Congratulations in advance."
"I have two plans. Either I will give you 200 million at once to buy out Jingyuan's patents. Or I will give you 50 million now as a reward for Jingyuan's research and development, and you will get dividends every year in the future. I will give you 10% of the dry stock. In other words, if Jingyuan's profit is 1 billion this year, you will get 100 million in dividends. There is no limit on the number of years for dividends, until this generation of Jingyuan is eliminated by the market."
"Of course, you don't have to reply to me immediately. You can think about it carefully. I'll give you a week." Zhan Xinyue said. After all, the amount was huge and needed to be considered again and again.
"Comrade Zhan, I don't need that many rewards." Huang Lingyi refused. The older generation of scientists serve the country and the people in their bones. They care about fame and fortune.
"Academician Huang, this is what you deserve. Except for a small portion of this wafer that will be donated to the country, the rest will be sold for money, and the profit will be huge. I know you are a man of high moral character, but this money is the result of your efforts and hard work." Zhan Xinyue said.
Huang Lingyi still shook his head, "But it's too much." Two hundred million was an astronomical figure in 1980.
"Academician Huang, if you feel that you have gained more, you can donate a part of it in your own name." Sheng Tunan advised.
"My wife gave you the money because she recognized you, and she also wanted more scientists to know that in China, as long as they develop something, they can become rich. This can retain talents and also attract talents."
Huang Lingyi thought it made a lot of sense and had a new respect for Zhan Xinyue. He thought she had a big vision.
"Then I choose the second option." Huang Lingyi said, "But I have an additional condition."
"Feel free to ask." Zhan Xinyue said.
"I want to stay here to do research and make the crystal more perfect. The food in your cafeteria is delicious. I have recovered better here." Huang Lingyi joked. In fact, in addition to the good food, the laboratory and the equipment provided by Zhan Xinyue were the best she had ever seen in her life. The instruments inside were all world-class, and all were transported from Hong Kong by Zhan Xinyue through Ouyang Jie.
"You got what you asked for." Zhan Xinyue smiled and took out two contracts from her pocket, picked one and handed it to Huang Lingyi, "Academician Huang, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Huang Lingyi took the contract and read it through. He found no problem, but picked up the pen but did not sign it. "Comrade Zhan, my students have helped a lot. It is also their contribution that Huaxin 1 was developed in such a short time. I want to take out 30 million and share it with them."
