Old Liao stared at her straight in the eyes, his tone calm and serious. "Like I said earlier, our project is a collaboration with a military research institute. Specifically, we're responsible for one of the production steps of a certain type of military equipment. Due to confidentiality regulations, I can't tell you what it is right now."
Although he knew that Su Qingyun's identity had already been thoroughly investigated in detail, he had to follow the rules and could not tell her the specific project situation before she joined. This was because their project was of great importance and no mistakes could be made.
"I understand." Su Qingyun nodded. She had participated in many confidential research projects in her previous life and knew the rules. She should not ask questions that she should not ask.
"Do you know when my country's first atomic bomb exploded?" Old Liao looked at her and suddenly asked such an irrelevant question.
Su Qingyun answered without hesitation, "14 years ago, in 1964."
"Yes, 14 years ago." Lao Liao's eyes were a little complicated. "14 years ago, my country already had atomic bombs. But now, more than a decade later, apart from nuclear weapons, my country's development and progress in conventional weapons is far from enough. Not only are we behind the West, but we're even lagging behind our neighbors."
Su Qingyun remained silent. She knew that over the past decade of turmoil, the weapons research and development departments had been hit hard, many military research and development projects had been shelved, and the national economy had deteriorated. Military spending had also shrunk significantly. It could be said that over the past decade, the country's military strength had made very little progress.
Some people say that nuclear weapons are used to deter foreign countries, while conventional weapons are the foundation of military power. This statement is not without reason.
Su Qingyun knew that the country had now realized its backwardness in this area, so it was trying desperately to catch up, but there was still a long way to go.
"I'm saying this just to tell you that if you want to join my project, you must be prepared to endure hardships, because we're facing a very difficult task. I need a mature researcher who can help, not a student who's here to learn. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Su Qingyun nodded.
"so?"
"I want to try it." Su Qingyun answered him without hesitation.
Old Liao, with a serious face, finally smiled. "Well, I hope you're not being impulsive when you say this."
"If you're truly prepared, I'll give you a chance. In three days, I'll assign you experimental tasks. As long as you can complete them to my satisfaction, I'll let you officially join the lab. But if you can't, I won't give you any face."
"How about it? Do you dare to try it?"
Su Qingyun smiled and said, "Of course."
The decisive and straightforward answer finally made Lao Liao have a hint of appreciation for her. No matter what else happened, first of all, the attitude was still very good. The young man had enough drive, but what he needed was not only attitude and drive, but also ability and skills.
Dean Wei didn't say anything after knowing the agreement between the two. He was very confident in Su Qingyun. If Su Qingyun couldn't pass this test, he wouldn't have gone to Huaqing to borrow people again and again.
People who do scientific research are always decisive and efficient. Lao Liao did not hesitate and directly assigned a task to Su Qingyun. Of course, the task she received now was not a confidential task. After all, she had not officially joined the laboratory yet.
The task Su Qingyun received was an extremely thick set of experimental data and work materials, which were disorganized. At a glance, it was not even clear what the subject of the experiment was. What she had to do was to sort out all the materials and write a complete data analysis report and experimental results report.
This was a task assigned by Lao Liao based on the projects she had participated in in the past. It was a part she was very good at, but she only had three days, which was too short. It was too difficult to complete such a complicated task.
Su Qingyun couldn't help but feel that it was a bit tricky, but the more so, the more motivated she became. She liked challenging things, which made her feel excited.
Since getting the information, Su Qingyun locked himself in the room. Except for going to the toilet and eating, he never went out. He even slept only three or four hours.
Qin Ying and Su Aimin were very worried when they saw her like this, but they didn't want to interfere with their child's work. They could only find ways to make her eat more and sleep more. They even walked very quietly and didn't dare to disturb her at all.
Su Qingyun didn't feel tired. On the contrary, once she entered the working state, she would automatically block out everything around her. Her mind and eyes were only focused on the things in front of her. Even her blood was burning with full enthusiasm. This fire would not be extinguished until the moment of completion.
The sun and the moon rotated, and soon, three full days passed.
Su Qingyun looked at the pile of documents on the desk, finally put down his pen and breathed a sigh of relief.
In front of her were dozens of pages of manuscript paper, which contained what she had analyzed from the materials. She also wrote the data analysis report and experimental results report clearly and logically.
She moved her neck with difficulty, only to hear a clicking sound and feel extremely sore. Su Qingyun endured the pain and pressed herself, and finally it felt a little better. Then she felt hungry.
"Mom, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!" Su Qingyun shouted loudly.
Qin Ying, who was outside, was worried. Upon hearing this, she rushed into her room with a look of surprise on her face. "Yes, yes, yes, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you."
"I want porridge, any kind of porridge will do."
