When Grandma Lin heard this, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
Her granddaughter is smart and gifted in scientific research. She is very happy that she can now display her talents in the military research institute and make contributions to the country.
Grandma Lin patted the back of Lin Zhiyue's hand gently and said earnestly: "Yueyue, grandma knows that you are capable and can help a lot. But no matter how important your work is, you have to take care of your body. Eat on time, don't stay up late, and if you are tired, come back and rest."
Lin Zhiyue nodded vigorously and hugged her grandmother tightly: "Grandma, I know! You and Grandpa must take good care of yourselves. I will come back to see you as soon as I am free."
After saying that, Lin Zhiyue walked into the room and began to pack her clothes in preparation for tomorrow's work.

The morning light was dim and the mist had not yet completely dissipated from the military compound. Lin Zhiyue's jeep had already rolled over the gravel road and stopped steadily at the gate of the military compound.
She jumped out of the car swiftly, with the hem of her army green windbreaker lifted up, and hurried towards the research institute.
She had no idea that at this moment in the office on the other side, a conversation centered around her was quietly taking place.
Next to the carved mahogany conference table, the second-in-command was wearing a neat military uniform, his epaulettes glowing coldly under the light.
Sitting opposite him were Lin Zhiyue’s three grandfathers - Lin Weidong, Mu Xuejun and Bai Yuejin.
Although Lin Weidong's hair has turned gray, his back is still straight. The wrinkles carved by time on his face only add a bit of the tenacity unique to a soldier.
"Old Lin,"
The second commander picked up the celadon teacup, took a sip, and smiled, "When will you bring your precious granddaughter to me? You are so lucky to have such an outstanding granddaughter."
Lin Weidong laughed heartily, and his laughter echoed in the conference room: "Of course! Zhiyue has been smart and willing to work hard since she was a child. She must be the granddaughter of my Lin family."
Changing the subject, he frowned slightly, "However, I'm afraid she can't spare the time recently. She just returned to the Military Region Research Institute today. I heard that there is an urgent research project at hand. It is of great importance, and she has thrown herself into it."
"oh?"
The second leader raised his eyebrows and asked with concern, "Is this research urgent? If not, let's find a time to get together after she finishes this."
Lin Weidong looked at Elder Chen and Elder Zhao beside him, and when he saw them nod slightly, he said, "I think we should let her finish the research first. This girl is stubborn, and she will definitely be unhappy if she is interrupted halfway. When the project is finished, I will bring her to report to the chief."
Upon hearing this, the No. 2 leader put down his teacup, smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, scientific research can't be sloppy. Let her do her research with peace of mind. When she's done, we'll have plenty of time. This girl has a promising future, maybe she can make a great contribution to the country!"
They chatted for a few more minutes and then went their separate ways.
At this time, Lin Zhiyue knew nothing about this conversation.
In the bright laboratory, incandescent light shines on the large conference table. Lin Zhiyue's fingertips run across the documents in his hands, his brows furrowed, and his eyes are sharp.
Next to me, the gray-haired Mr. Li was holding a thermos cup, with steam rising from it, blurring the lenses.
"Mr. Li,"
Lin Zhiyue tapped the table lightly and spread out the yellowed documents in her hand.
"You see, the aircraft models shown in this fighter document are already technologically outdated in today's international environment. We spend a lot of time and resources on research, and our goal should be to create the best results."
Hearing this, Mr. Li put down the thermos cup. His eyes behind the glasses were solemn. He said slowly, "Don't underestimate this information. Our soldiers obtained it from abroad with extraordinary courage under extremely dangerous circumstances. How many people risked their lives in a foreign country for it!"
Lin Zhiyue nodded, full of respect for the efforts of her predecessors, but this did not shake her mind: "Mr. Li, precisely because this information is hard to come by, we should not limit ourselves to it. Nowadays, there are already such models in the world. Even if we succeed in replicating them, we are just following behind others. We should study fighters that are more advanced than this, and even those that are not available abroad. Only in this way can we truly exert our scientific research strength, live up to every effort, and not waste precious time and energy."
A trace of appreciation flashed in Mr. Li's eyes. He pushed his glasses with his hand and said, "It seems that you already have an idea. Tell me about it. I'm listening."
Lin Zhiyue took a deep breath, picked up a pen, and quickly sketched the outline of the plane on the whiteboard: "Mr. Li, the new fighter I envision will adopt a brand-new aerodynamic layout to greatly improve flight performance. In terms of avionics systems, we plan to introduce the most cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to achieve intelligent operation and greatly improve combat efficiency. In addition, in terms of weapon configuration, we will incorporate the concept of directed energy weapons to enhance strike capability."
Mr. Li listened attentively, nodding slightly from time to time, and his eyes were full of admiration: "Zhiyue, your idea is very bold and forward-looking. But it will inevitably be difficult to realize it."
Lin Zhiyue's eyes were firm and his tone was powerful: "Mr. Li, I know that there are huge challenges ahead, but only by facing them head-on can we break the technological blockade and take our country's aviation industry to new heights!"
Mr. Li stood up and slowly walked to the whiteboard. He raised his hand and gently stroked the outline of the plane drawn by Lin Zhiyue, and the paper made a slight rustling sound.
"Zhiyue, your idea is indeed impeccable in theory, but in the actual research and development process, every technological breakthrough means a huge amount of experiments and repeated demonstrations, especially directed energy weapons. At present, the world is still in the exploration stage. Our technical reserves and research and development equipment are facing severe tests."
Lin Zhiyue had expected this. She walked quickly to the information rack, pulled out a thick stack of reports, and spread them on the conference table: "Mr. Li, this is the information I sorted out. In terms of aerodynamic layout, I referred to many cutting-edge research projects at home and abroad, and combined with my country's existing wind tunnel test data to conduct simulations and deductions; regarding the artificial intelligence technology involved in the avionics system, I have communicated with the top domestic scientific research team many times. They have developed a preliminary algorithm model, which can be applied to fighter jets as long as resources are invested in optimization. As for directed energy weapons, although they are the most difficult, I have contacted several university professors, and they have achieved phased results in related fields. We can fully carry out joint research on this basis."
Professor Li put on his reading glasses and read the report page by page. The worry in his eyes was gradually replaced by surprise. "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful and even plan the teamwork in advance. However, such a large project is far from enough to rely on the strength of our laboratory alone. We must report to our superiors and seek more support."
A week later, at a high-level meeting of the military district, Lin Zhiyue, dressed in a neat military uniform, methodically explained the project concept.
The generals in the audience were concentrating and whispering to each other from time to time. After the report, a white-haired general took the lead in speaking: "Comrade Lin Zhiyue's proposal not only shows extraordinary innovative thinking, but also reflects the responsibility of a new generation of scientific researchers. I suggest that a special scientific research team be established immediately to fully support the project development."
After obtaining approval from superiors, Lin Zhiyue led the team into the laboratory.
