Inside the research institute, excitement erupted following Fan Xiaofan's return.
However, it seems that a few strangers have appeared here since Fan Xiaofan left. Their Mandarin is not very good, and even a bit awkward.
After thinking for a moment about what his father had told him about the things he had done over the years, Fan Xiaofan had some guesses in his mind.
These people should be those who returned to their homeland.
They are all leaders in their research fields, yet they are willing to return to China to contribute their knowledge and skills when the country needs them, regardless of personal gain or loss. They are experts and scholars worthy of respect.
"Welcome..."
Fan Xiaofan reached out his hand.
The cat-like girl surprised everyone. Somewhat incredulously, they said to Shi Moyun, the vice dean, "This is the legendary Comrade Fan Xiaofan. She's so young, it's unbelievable..."
Shi Moyun laughed twice: "Since when has our research community started to rank people by age? Don't underestimate this child because of his young age. His talent in mechanics is something we can't match."
But the listeners didn't take it seriously, thinking that Shi Moyun and the others were exaggerating.
However, he nodded politely.
Mr. Wu is considered one of the more influential figures among these returnees. His research achievements over the years are evident and he is highly respected.
For these returnees, the decision to return to their homeland was made after much deliberation, and they gave up many things, believing that they had a thorough understanding of their motherland.
China lags far behind in industrial development; otherwise, it wouldn't be seen as a sleeping dragon whose treasures are coveted by others.
We are no longer living in the age of cold weapons, but in the age of firearms.
Shi Moyun and her group of researchers exchanged glances. Cough cough, it seems these people won't believe it unless they're shown their true abilities.
Guo Jia was very grateful for the return of those who came back to the country, but there were bound to be other spies of Guo Jia among them, so these people had to be carefully screened after they returned.
Otherwise, if there are malicious individuals involved, the damage could be even greater.
Mr. Wu and his group were allowed to enter the research institute only after strict screening, so their understanding of China's current development is still limited to past memories.
When they first returned to China, during what was arguably the most difficult time for the country, many of them were moved to tears as they stepped onto this land, their eyes brimming with tears they were desperately trying to hold back.
As the saying goes, a man doesn't easily shed tears, but that's only until he's truly heartbroken.
Even though they were protected along the way, they could still see the whole picture from a glimpse of the leopard. The more they saw the big picture from the small details, the more heartbroken they felt for the country's dire situation of rebuilding from ruins.
Even the most basic necessities like food and clothing were beyond the supply levels of China's industrial sector.
Therefore, Mr. Wu and others did not feel that much change could occur during the period of their investigation.
Shi Moyun coughed lightly, and Fan Xiaofan smiled gently. She had many thoughts about the first-generation computer during her time away, and now she needed time to verify her conjectures.
"Vice Dean, I also have something to attend to. You can continue with your work here..."
Shi Moyun waved her hand, and Fan Xiaofan led Liu Fang and Gu Wenyan back to her research lab, which had been kept closed and confidential since she left...
After all, everyone at the research institute knew that a scrap of paper that Fan Xiaofan casually scribbled down might very well contain an important plan for some kind of equipment. If they damaged it or had someone tamper with it, things would be disastrous.
