"Okay, don't think about it. Mom is just angry right now. She'll be fine after a while. Just go along with her for now."
"I understand." Zhang Xinlan buried her head in the quilt and responded.
Su Aidang felt that he had persuaded her well, so he turned around and fell into a deep sleep, leaving Zhang Xinlan alone to look at the sky until dawn.
The next day, Su Qingyun rode her bike to school and learned about the Science and Technology Innovation Competition. She and Ji Yue's works had successfully passed the preliminary round and entered the semi-finals.
The semi-finals will be held in the provincial capital, and five works will be selected to enter the finals in Beijing.
"So fast?" Su Qingyun looked at Teacher Qin in surprise.
"Of course not." Teacher Qin looked at her and Ji Yue, his two favorite students, with a smile. "I've already said that the higher-ups attach great importance to this competition, so naturally, the works you submitted were reviewed overnight."
"There are a total of twenty works in the province that have entered the semi-finals, and only five will be selected in the final round. You must do your best."
Su Qingyun and Ji Yue looked at each other and asked, "When is the rematch?"
"A week later," Teacher Qin said, "for the rematch, the school will send me with you. Don't worry."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Qin."
The two of them left the office and walked through the corridor. The spring breeze blew over, making them feel particularly comfortable. They smiled at each other.
Su Qingyun smiled faintly, "Congratulations."
Ji Yue also pursed his lips and smiled, "Congratulations."
The two of them were living a peaceful life, but they had no idea that the judging panel of the innovation competition in the provincial capital was in an uproar because of their work.
Three days ago, the provincial organizing committee collected all the entries and began the selection process.
Because of the uneven educational levels, the quality of the works collected varies greatly. The higher-level ones are various small inventions made by themselves, while the lower-level ones are all kinds of things. The teachers in the judging panel even saw a wooden carved airplane in the work.
He took a deep breath, incredulous. "How on earth did a work like this get submitted? This is a science and technology innovation competition, not some children's handicraft competition!"
The teacher next to him sighed, "It can't be helped. Our current educational standards are already uneven. I was mentally prepared for this before the competition. Ultimately, our educational mission is still a long way to go."
The judges looked at each other, all with heavy expressions.
"Keep watching everyone, maybe there will be some unexpected surprises." The main reviewer comforted everyone. He didn't actually have much hope in his heart, he was just comforting others and himself.
Although the quality was not good, there were quite a few works submitted by various cities and counties. Several judges looked at them day and night, and they were dizzy and dazzled, but they still couldn't find a few qualified works.
It gradually got dark outside the window and the night was deep, but the lights in the review room were still on.
The chief judge pressed his brows tiredly, ready to let the students take a break. He casually picked up the next work, and his tired eyes suddenly became bright.
He played with the small radio in his hand, feeling a little confused. Was this contestant's work a radio?
He put down what he was holding, picked up the detailed work report submitted by the contestant and his work, and read it carefully.
As soon as he saw the first line of words, he instantly sat up straight, concentrated, and all his fatigue was swept away.
He looked intently and didn't even hear the people around him calling him.
"What's wrong with Lao Zhao?" the judge next to him muttered, "Did he see some good work?"
He moved closer to take a look.
"This contestant... this contestant..." The chief commentator Zhao Ruiguang finally raised his head from the report, his eyes shining.
Zhao Ruiguang breathed rapidly, stuffed the report into Sun Sui's hands, and said quickly, "Look at this! Genius, this is a genius!"
"Is it really that good?" Sun Sui suspiciously flipped open the report and began to read it line by line. His originally careless eyes gradually became serious, then solemn, shocked, and incredulous...
"This, this, this..." Sun Sui began to speak incoherently, "Where is the thing? Let me see it."
He couldn't wait to say.
Zhao Ruiguang had already picked up the tape recorder and began to examine it carefully. It turned out that this was not a radio, but a tape recorder! A tape recorder that had both the functions of a radio and the recording and playback functions!
This is not easy, because they did not just invent a machine that can record and play, but completed this function based on the radio, and the difficulty increased almost exponentially!
Works of this level are as precious as pearls covered in sand among a pile of diverse works, and stand out from the crowd!
Although Zhao Ruiguang didn't want to use this word to describe it, he really couldn't find a more appropriate word.
Sun Sui also picked up the tape recorder and began to study it carefully. He tried every button on the tape recorder carefully, and after confirming that the content in the report was not just talk, his face turned red.
"The leader is right. Across the vast land of China, there are always talented individuals with extraordinary talents waiting to be discovered. This Science and Technology Innovation Competition was not held in vain!"
Zhao Ruiguang nodded with deep feeling, "That's indeed the truth. The most important thing for a country to develop is to develop young talents."
"By the way," Sun Sui suddenly asked, "where is this contestant from? I wonder if we can focus on training him later?"
Zhao Ruiguang picked up the list of participants and looked at it again, searching for information about the entry. He took a closer look and was a little surprised. "This work was completed by two students. Their names are Su Qingyun and Ji Yue. Both are from Luoshui County. The girl is even from Luoshui Village. From the countryside?!"
