Chapter 102 The Timid Him (XIV) I'm Proud to Have My Motherland as My Back…
Soon, the middle-aged man named Shi Yunting quickly submitted all relevant information, usage videos, and in-depth analysis reports about the robot dog "Yiying" to his superiors.
As a soldier, he deeply understands how beneficial the robot dog Yiying is to China today. In the future, Yiying is very likely to become one of the major contributors to propelling China's military power to new heights.
As he expected, not long after, an important document marked "urgent" was delivered to the office of the president of Tsinghua University. The document clearly stated that it hoped Tsinghua University could work closely with the military and fully cooperate to conduct in-depth research and development on Song Ce's robot dog project.
Upon receiving the document, the president of Tsinghua University was both delighted and deeply aware of the heavy responsibility. Especially when he saw the last line of the document—that this project would be included in the national key support program and would involve close cooperation with the military—the president's smile never faded.
He didn't dare delay for a moment and immediately found Tao Mulin and Song Ce, explaining the current situation in detail. Tao Mulin was initially worried that Song Ce, being young and impetuous, might be resistant to publicly sharing the robot dog project. After all, Song Ce had often spent his freshman year alone in the research lab and rarely interacted with his classmates.
However, to Tao Mulin's surprise, Song Ce unhesitatingly handed over all the data on the robot dog directly to the military. This generous act successfully attracted the attention of higher authorities. The military immediately dispatched Shi Yunting to Tsinghua University to approve a substantial financial compensation for Song Ce, in recognition of his selfless dedication to the country's scientific research.
Furthermore, in order to perfect the robot dog "Yi Ying", the military directly invited Song Ce to the Ministry of Armed Forces Research and Development of China to conduct joint research with various military and military departments, so that the robot dog "Yi Ying" could be put into various military application scenarios as soon as possible, ensuring that China's military forces can take a big step forward and realize the modernization of military electronics as soon as possible.
Tao Mulin knew that Song Ce had received high attention from the top leadership of China, and he was deeply moved. This was undoubtedly a great honor for any researcher. At the same time, this also meant that Song Ce's future was bright and full of unlimited possibilities.
He looked at his student, who had been with him for two years, his eyes filled with pride. He patted Song Ce on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Ce, this is a rare opportunity for you. You must seize it. I believe that in the future, you will bring even greater surprises to our country!"
"Thank you for your careful guidance over the past two years, teacher. I will do my best." Song Ce said calmly, looking at the kind elder in front of him.
"Great! Great! The teacher will be waiting for that day at Tsinghua University!"
On the way to the Armed Forces Research Department, Shi Yunting subtly glanced at the overly young student sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The student was handsome and refined, and his gentle and unperturbed demeanor reminded Shi Yunting of the highly respected and top scientist, Mr. Zheng, from China.
If Mr. Zheng were still alive, he would definitely meet this outstanding young man in person.
The dark green military vehicle traveled for nearly an hour on the highway before finally arriving at the Ministry of Military Science and Technology of China. Here, not only does the nation's most advanced military research force gather, but it also carries the deep expectations of the country and its people.
Shi Yunting led Song Ce to a spacious and bright conference room. Inside were several senior experts from the military industry and defense sector. These experts were all highly accomplished in their respective fields and could be considered the backbone of China's military scientific research.
"Greetings, leaders! This is Song Ce, the student who developed the robot dog Yi Ying!" Shi Yunting stood tall and gave everyone a standard military salute before solemnly introducing Song Ce to the person beside him.
"Excellent! Excellent! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. With such talent, how can our nation not rise in the future!" A military expert with gray hair was the first to stand up and applaud Song Ce enthusiastically.
"Mr. He is right!"
The other experts smiled and applauded as well. They looked at this unusually young man with admiration in their eyes.
Seeing this, Song Ce smiled shyly and then bowed deeply to all the senior experts present.
Old He gestured for Song Ce to sit in the empty seat opposite him and said gently, "Young Song, we old folks have all studied it carefully. The robot dog Yi Ying that you developed has great potential, but if it is to be truly applied to complex military-realm scenarios, there are still some problems to overcome. For example, under some extreme weather conditions, the energy supply and stability of Yi Ying's electronic components need to be significantly improved."
Upon hearing this, Song Ce said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mr. He, you're right. The components used by Yiying were all purchased according to the minimum requirements. After all, these are the materials I could get, so it is indeed not perfect in some aspects. I'm sorry."
After saying this, Mr. He noticed that the young student opposite him was gradually turning red, showing a hint of youthful embarrassment.
Upon hearing this, Elder He astutely grasped the key information in Song Ce's words. He quickly exchanged glances with the other experts and asked kindly, "Young Song, you mean that if we could provide you with more advanced component materials, Yi Ying could achieve a greater breakthrough, right?"
Song Ce nodded and readily admitted, "Yes, because I had limited funds when I was in school, I couldn't afford to buy better components. So the Yi Ying was the maximum value I could achieve within my capabilities."
Old He nodded, already having made up his mind. Everyone present was a veteran of the Armed Forces Research Department, and they all knew perfectly well that for research work, high-quality materials were often one of the most important key factors in breaking through bottlenecks.
After the meeting, Mr. He immediately applied to his superiors for the allocation of top-of-the-line components and materials for the Yiying robot dog project. The military leadership attached great importance to this and quickly approved Mr. He's request in less than half an hour.
In just two or three days, various high-end components were delivered to the Armed Forces Research Department. Song Ce looked at these top-notch materials that he would never have been able to access before, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
The veteran experts from the Armed Forces Research Department were interested in taking a look at this young student. They specially prepared a separate research room for Song Ce, so that he could use all the top-notch materials at hand to create a second-generation Yi Ying.
For Song Ce, if making the first generation of Yi Ying took him nearly three months, then he was confident that he could compress the time to about a week for the second generation of Yi Ying.
In order not to disturb Song Ce's research work, He Lao led a group of electronic engineers and military experts to form a research and development team. Based on the detailed information given to them by Song Ce, they worked together to develop a new generation of robot dogs.
A week passed quickly.
As Mr. He watched the slender figure tirelessly assembling the components in his hands through the built-in monitor in the research room, a surge of emotion welled up within him.
God bless China, there are successors to carry on the legacy!
Just after eight o'clock, Song Ce in the surveillance footage suddenly stood up abruptly and seemed to be saying something to the all-black robotic dog at his feet. Immediately afterward, the robotic dog's limbs began to automatically change and reassemble, growing to a height of about 1.2 meters in just a few seconds.
Not only that, a cannon-like shape suddenly bulged out on the robot dog's back, and after Song Ce clapped his hands, the robot dog instantly returned to its original shape.
Looking at the second-generation Yi Ying made with top-of-the-line components at his feet, Song Ce was filled with indescribable excitement. He immediately walked to the door, opened it, and politely asked the two soldiers standing guard, "Excuse me, where can I conduct a weapon power test?"
The two soldiers, who had already received instructions from their superiors, immediately saluted Song Ce and said, "Please follow me."
Soon, the two led Song Ce to a specialized weapons testing range. The testing range was surrounded by thick protective walls to ensure the absolute safety of the testing work.
Upon receiving the news, Mr. He and a group of military experts immediately rushed to an observation room that overlooked the entire weapons testing range.
On the test field, various simulated targets were scattered. Song Ce stood in front of the test platform with the second-generation Yi Ying. He took a deep breath and gave the first command to the second-generation Yi Ying.
"Yi Ying, activate the weapon system. Target number three, 800 meters directly in front of the target." As soon as he finished speaking, the cannon on the back of the second-generation Yi Ying quickly extended and accurately locked onto the target.
With a muffled roar, the military experts saw a flash of light, and the No. 3 target was instantly hit and blasted into dust.
The experts in the observation room widened their eyes at the sight. Was this really the same robot dog they had seen in the video? How could it unleash such astonishing power?
Song Ce looked at the wreckage of the No. 3 site and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The power of the Yi Ying, made with top-tier components, far exceeded his expectations. Subsequently, Song Ce tested the multiple weapon modes and the Yi Ying's mobility under different temperatures and terrains. The second-generation Yi Ying performed exceptionally well, completing each test task almost perfectly.
Finally, Song Ce turned his gaze to the Tiangong Marker at the farthest point of the test field and gave the second-generation Yi Ying the latest instruction: "Yi Ying, put the paper airplane I'm holding at the highest point of the Tiangong Marker." After saying that, he handed the paper airplane to the second-generation Yi Ying.
Suddenly, a small box popped out from above the second-generation Yi Ying's head. It extended a mechanical arm and carefully placed the paper airplane into the box. Immediately afterward, the weapon device on its back quickly retracted into its body, and in its place, a pair of jet-black wings were rapidly assembled.
Mr. He and a group of military experts: "???"
"Go."
With Song Ce's command, the second-generation Yi Ying quickly flapped its wings and flew into the sky, heading towards the highest point of the Heavenly Palace.
Under the tense and expectant gaze of the experts, the second-generation Yi Ying, like a black lightning bolt, maintained a stable flight trajectory even in the strong wind interference environment that Song Ce had deliberately created, thanks to its superior performance.
Three minutes later, a clear simultaneous broadcast came from the direction of the Tiangong beacon, indicating that the second-generation Yi Ying had successfully and accurately reached the highest point of the Tiangong beacon.
"Quickly! Switch to the Tiangong monitor's live feed!" Old He said urgently to his assistant behind him.
Soon, a scene unfolded before everyone's eyes: the second-generation Yi Ying extended its mechanical arm and precisely placed the paper airplane at the very top of the Tiangong beacon. After completing its mission, it steadily flew back towards Song Ce's location.
The observation field was filled with silence from Mr. He and the group of military experts. It wasn't until they saw the second-generation Yi Ying retrieve the paper airplane from the highest point of the Tiangong landmark and hand it to Song Ce that they recovered from their initial shock.
"This young student is truly remarkable!" Old He exclaimed to the crowd, his eyes filled with tears.
A military-industrial expert sitting to Mr. He was the first to react and began to applaud. Soon, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the observation hall.
