"Professor Zhang, do you mean that the Aerospace Research Institute wants me to go there and join a project?" Su Qingyun repeated Zhang Sida's words in disbelief.
"That's right." Zhang Sida nodded gravely, "The person in charge there personally contacted me."
He knew it, he knew it! This person couldn't be kept in Huaqing!
"How could that be?" Su Qingyun still couldn't believe it. Even though she had participated in two projects before, she was just a freshman now. Why would the Aerospace Research Institute invite her?
In other words, what qualifications does she have?
"Chief Engineer Gu recommended you to the person in charge there," Zhang Sida sighed. "Chief Engineer Gu said you're very talented in materials research and know a lot about aerospace, so he recommended you."
Due to the technological blockade by various countries, the development of China's aerospace industry is now slow and difficult. The heads of aerospace institutes will almost never let go of any talented people they see.
"This is a great opportunity. Go back and prepare. We can set off when the time comes." Zhang Sida said, "However, if you go there, you must be prepared for a long-term battle."
He had to admit that this was indeed a great opportunity for Su Qingyun, much more useful than staying in school. Besides, it didn't matter to her whether she attended class or not.
Su Qingyun opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She was very excited and knew that this was a good opportunity, but she was still a little hesitant. Joining the aerospace project was part of her future plan, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
China's space industry started late and faced huge difficulties and challenges. In 1970, it successfully launched its first artificial earth satellite, Dongfanghong-1, becoming the third country in the world to independently launch an artificial satellite. Subsequently, China launched a series of satellites, including meteorological satellites, communication satellites, resource satellites, etc., providing strong support for the country's economic construction and military development.
Later, the country began to explore manned space technology. In 1971, China conducted its first manned space program test. However, it was not until the 21st century that the first manned space mission was launched. In between, there was a gap of more than 30 years, which was a long and tortuous process.
Su Qingyun knew that if she joined the space program, she would have to face countless difficulties and challenges, and would have to withstand the test and endure the test of time. She wasn't afraid of these things, but what about others? For example, her family, Ji Yue? Would they be able to accept it? Could they endure this long wait?
Su Qingyun hesitated for the first time.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Sida saw that her expression was not right and asked, "Don't you want to go?"
Su Qingyun pursed her lips and said, "Professor Zhang, let me think about it."
Zhang Sida frowned and could only nod, "Okay, think it over and tell me the result."
"good."
Su Qingyun returned home with a worried look on his face, and Su Aimin and Qin Ying noticed it at a glance.
"What's wrong? Yunyun, why do you look so worried?" Qin Ying asked with concern.
Su Aimin was originally counting today's accounts, but when he saw her like this, he came over.
Looking at his parents' concerned eyes, Su Qingyun hesitated for a moment, organized his words, and finally said, "Mom and Dad, there is a very good research project right now. I don't know if I should participate?"
Research project? Qin Ying and Su Aimin exchanged a glance.
Su Aimin thought for a moment and said, "Yunyun, you know, Dad is not very educated and doesn't understand the research project you're talking about, but since you say it's great, then just do it. What are you hesitating about?"
"Yes." Qin Ying also smiled, "Your father and I support you."
"But if I go to see this project, I don't know when I can come back. It may take a year and a half, or even three to five years. I don't know if I will have the chance to come back." Su Qingyun mentioned a possibility.
The couple was stunned. Three to five years? What kind of project would take so long?
"this……"
If this is true, the couple would definitely not want their daughter to leave home for so long, but...
"Yunyun, this is your business. You should ask yourself, not us." Qin Ying said seriously, "You know, your father and I will support you no matter what. Just do it if you want to."
Su Qingyun's eyes were moved. She knew that her parents would support her unconditionally, but because of this, she felt even more guilty. Is it really completely correct to always stick to her own ideas and the path she wants to take?
She began to hesitate and doubt.
"Oh, Yunyun." Su Aimin suddenly thought of a question, "If you go to that program you mentioned, and you're away for so long, what will happen to your studies? Will you stop going to school?"
Su Qingyun was stunned. She had been thinking about whether to go or not, but had ignored the issue of her studies. If her return date was really uncertain, she really had to make preparations early.
"Let me think about it again." Su Qingyun finally said.
Qin Ying looked at her daughter tenderly and patted her head. "Yunyun, there are many paths to take in life, and there may be many detours, but the most important thing is not to let yourself regret."
"We are your parents, but we are only your parents. You have to make your own choices in life. All we can do is support and accept you, rather than let ourselves become obstacles or hold you back."
"Your mother is right." Su Aimin agreed, "Whether you go or not, you should think it over carefully and don't regret your decision."
