“I was blind and foolish before! You not only saved my life, but also saved my son’s soul in heaven! I, Geng Xiangdong, have no way to repay this kindness. From now on, with my old life and these old bones, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation, just by saying the word!”
He wasn't just being polite; the determination in his eyes showed that he regarded Su Tang as a benefactor to him and his son, and that he was determined to follow her for the rest of his life.
Su Tang quickly helped him up: "Engineer Geng, you're too kind. I was just doing what I was supposed to do. Please get up."
The atmosphere within the research institute has become much more refreshing.
Those who once mocked Su Tang and Lin Fan fell silent, while Lin Fan and Chen Xue, with their discerning eye and firm stance, became the envy of everyone.
At Director Qian's suggestion and with the unanimous support of everyone, Geng Xiangdong personally announced that, due to Lin Fan's outstanding theoretical contributions and firm stance, he was promoted to deputy captain of the exploration team and given full authority over the subsequent development of the kaolin mine.
After the initial grief, Geng Xiangdong chose to pull himself together and retained his position as chief engineer of the exploration team, determined to continue his son's unfinished work.
Finally, Director Qian and Geng Xiangdong exchanged a glance and jointly announced a decision that shocked everyone.
"After deliberation by the Party Committee of the Institute, we have decided to appoint Comrade Su Tang as our 'Special Technical Advisor' for the Sun City Military Region Research Institute! He will enjoy the same treatment as a chief engineer."
After he finished speaking, the entire hall was first deathly silent, then erupted in thunderous applause.
Su Tang, a young man who had only been in the military region for a short time, had won the respect of all the researchers with his outstanding abilities and remarkable achievements!
With high-quality kaolin, the problem of refractory bricks was easily solved.
A few days later, in the institute’s largest high-temperature laboratory, all the core researchers held their breath and gathered around a newly built experimental furnace.
Su Tang stood in front of the control panel, personally directing the operation.
"Temperature rises to 1,500 degrees Celsius!"
"Received! Temperature 1500! No abnormalities found on the furnace walls!"
"The temperature continues to rise! 1800 degrees!"
"My God! 1,800! Our old refractory bricks would have started to turn red and soften long ago at this temperature!" an old researcher exclaimed.
Geng Xiangdong stared intently at the observation window. He saw that the furnace core, made of a new type of clay, remained a stable white color even at temperatures high enough to melt steel, without any change.
“Two thousand degrees!” Su Tang’s voice was calm and firm.
"Two thousand degrees! It's been reached! The furnace core structure is stable! There's almost no heat leakage! My God, this... this is simply a miracle!" Chen Xue, who was in charge of recording the data, was trembling in her voice.
Everyone present, including Director Qian, was stunned.
They witnessed firsthand the birth of a groundbreaking material.
This material not only perfectly solves the core problem of the heat-concentrating circulating furnace, but it also has immeasurable strategic significance for the entire country's metallurgical, aerospace, and military industries!
Everyone felt that Su Tang was truly a lucky star for their military region and even the country!
The news of the successful experiment, along with a detailed report on the enemy spy case at Xishan "Devil's Slope," was delivered to Deputy Commander Liu's desk.
After looking at the report for a long time, Deputy Commander Liu finally let out a long sigh of relief. This girl was unexpectedly capable.
He submitted the report to headquarters.
He even personally invited Su Tang to his office and discussed the matter with her for a long time.
Finally, an official document issued directly from the military region headquarters was delivered to Su Tang...
