A group of dozens of mathematical talents finally selected seven people to compete abroad. Although the limited number of participants was five, they selected two more people to serve as substitutes in case of any accidents. These seven people included Chen Zheyu and Li Siyuan. Since Qi led the team to compete abroad, the whole team had a total of eight people.
The date for going abroad was soon set, and Su Qingyun left the research institute specifically to tell his parents the news.
"So soon?" Qin Ying was stunned. The training was over so soon?
"Yeah." Su Qingyun nodded.
Su Aimin felt a little distressed, "How long will you be out?"
"About four or five days." Su Qingyun said after thinking for a while.
Su Aimin and Qin Ying nodded silently. Although they knew that their children would always go farther and farther away, as parents they were really worried about their children leaving the country and traveling across the ocean.
But neither of them showed it. It was already stressful enough for them to have their child compete abroad, and they couldn't let her worry about it anymore.
"Okay, go to the competition well, your mother and I will continue to play in Beijing." Su Aimin pretended to be relaxed and said, "There are still many places we haven't been to, your mother and I won't see you off." He was afraid that if he went to see him off, he would be even more reluctant and worried.
Su Qingyun smiled, "No need to send me off, I'm with everyone, there's nothing to worry about, just have fun and wait for my good news."
"good."
Before leaving, the institute held a mobilization meeting for the members who were going abroad to compete, and Director Feng of the institute encouraged everyone at the meeting.
"This time, we're going to Country E to compete in the competition to prove that Chinese mathematics isn't without talent, and that not all of them are mediocre. I hope everyone will give it their all and achieve excellent results, slapping the faces of those who look down on Chinese mathematics."
"Due to certain historical issues, you may encounter some unequal treatment and prejudice abroad, but I hope everyone can remain calm and not panic."
"The higher-ups are also paying close attention to this competition. I hope everyone won't let them down! Can you do that?"
As the team leader, Yu Qi was the first to stand up and say, "I guarantee that the mission will be completed!"
Director Feng smiled and said, "It seems Director Yu has great confidence in his subordinates?"
"Of course!" Yu Qi answered without hesitation. Every member of the mathematics talent group was selected by him personally, so he was certainly confident.
"Great!" Director Feng was delighted. "That's the kind of confidence and courage we need!"
He stood up and said, "Then I wish everyone a triumphant return!"
"We will ensure that the mission is completed!" Everyone stood up and shouted in unison, including Su Qingyun of course.
When the meeting was over, Director Feng specifically kept Yu Qi and told him, "Be careful when leading the team abroad this time. Pay attention to the safety of the team members, especially Su Qingyun. She's young, so keep an eye on her. If she shines in this competition, you'll have to pay even more attention."
"You know, foreign powers are keeping an eye on us. If they see young and talented people like Su Qingyun, they might do something bad. So you have to make sure they can return safely. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Yu Qi also understood the seriousness of the matter and agreed with a serious face.
Back then, when the country was in danger of survival, so many knowledgeable people chose to study abroad, learning from the barbarians in order to defeat them. They brought back advanced technology and ideas, and led the country onto a new path. In recent years, in order to ensure the rapid development of the country, many people have gone abroad to study, and there are many experts and scholars who want to come back to build the motherland, but they have been stopped for various reasons and means.
For example, Mr. Qian was under house arrest for five years before he returned to China more than 20 years ago. Today, more than 20 years later, foreign countries still want to use extraordinary means to block high-tech and continue to leave China far behind. They will never agree!
The time to go abroad is just one day away, and Su Qingyun is already prepared. The straight-line distance from the capital of China to the competition venue, Country E, is more than 8,000 kilometers. The flight time is long, and it is necessary to fly from the capital to the port city first, transfer in the port city, and then fly to Country E. This is much more cumbersome than direct flights in later generations.
On the morning of August 11, although it was the beginning of autumn, the weather was still hot. Even in the early morning, it was stuffy. There were very few passengers at the Capital Airport of China, and it was almost deserted.
In this era, only state leaders, pilots, flight attendants, or people performing special missions can take a plane, so even at the Capital Airport, there is still not much passenger flow.
The Chinese delegation to the International Mathematical Competition arrived at the airport early this morning. They were all young people under the age of 30, with straight figures and energetic looks. They attracted the attention of many passengers as soon as they arrived at the airport.
The identity check required a household registration booklet and a letter of introduction. Yu Qi presented an official letter from the Beijing Research Institute. After the inspection, everyone received their plane tickets, passed security, and sat down to wait for the flight.
Today's air tickets are still handwritten with your name, luggage weight and flight number on them.
Except for Yu Qi, who had taken a plane before on business trips, and Su Qingyun, who had a mysterious background, it was the first time for everyone else to take a plane. As they were all young people, they were inevitably excited and found everything new and interesting.
Li Siyuan stared at the magnificent terminal building in front of him, his eyes wide open. He murmured, "It's so spectacular."
Who would have thought that just a few months ago, he was just a small recorder in the factory, and now he would fly abroad to compete. The encounters in life are so wonderful and full of unknowns.
Chen Zheyu was the oldest member of the delegation, barely reaching thirty. He couldn't conceal his excitement. His emotions mirrored Li Siyuan's. A few months ago, hadn't he been just a timid teacher, crammed into a school, dreaming of a safe haven? Back then, he hadn't imagined he'd find himself in this moment.
