This massive sandstorm lasted for several hours until it gradually subsided in the early morning. All the researchers were exhausted and relied on their last bit of strength to keep from collapsing.
"Okay, it's safe now, everyone go back." Zhao's voice was tired, and he asked everyone to go back and rest quickly.
Everyone rubbed their eyes and took a long time to open them a little. After looking at each other, they all smiled.
Su Qingyun couldn't help laughing.
Because they all turned into "Minions", their facial features could not be seen, and it was impossible to tell whether they were men or women, young or old, they all looked the same. Su Qingyun even felt that with just a little water, they could be sculpted into terracotta warriors.
"Hurry up, go back and take a shower, rub off the mud on your body, and have a good sleep." Chief Zhao really couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he asked everyone to quickly disperse and return to the dormitory.
"Okay, okay, everyone go away."
It was not until this time that the exhausted crowd dispersed, which also meant that another defensive battle was over, and such a defensive battle was far from the last.
They went against the wind and fought against the sand. "A strong wind can blow away thousands of piles of snow, and a strong man can resist ten thousand acres of sand." It is because of these people and even the perseverance of generations of scientific researchers that countless scientific research results were born here and benefited the people.
At the meeting the next day, Director Zhao emphasized praising everyone's heroic deeds yesterday. Because of their perseverance, the test equipment was not damaged too much. However, in the future, personal safety should be the most important thing. Equipment can be replaced if it is lost, and data can be tested again if it is lost, but if people are gone, then everything is gone. Scientific researchers are their most precious wealth. As long as people are there, everything is there.
But even if he said that, everyone knew that if there was another sandstorm or other crisis, Zhao would still be the first to rush to the front, and so would the others.
But everyone accepted the education with a good attitude.
At the end of the meeting, Chief Zhao cleared his throat and looked at Su Qingyun, and the others also looked over.
Su Qingyun was a little puzzled. "What's wrong? Why are people looking at me like this?"
"Xiao Su, I have good news to tell you." Zhao looked at her with a smile.
The others also showed a knowing smile, obviously knowing it in advance.
"What good news?" Su Qingyun looked confused.
"The paper you wrote last time on the analysis and research of manned spacecraft materials was considered very valuable. After careful consideration, they have decided to appoint you as deputy leader of the Materials Research Group for our launch center's manned space program," Director Zhao said solemnly. "The team leader is Zhang Sida, a renowned materials expert in our country."
Su Qingyun was stunned for a moment. These two short sentences shocked her twice.
The first thing, of course, was her appointment as deputy leader of the materials research group. Compared with other researchers, she had not been in the launch center for a long time, and her qualifications and experience were insufficient. It was natural that she was a little confused to suddenly take on such an important task.
The second thing was that the leader of this materials research group was Professor Zhang Sida! This familiar choice surprised her a little.
"No, Chief Zhao, I..." Su Qingyun was rarely able to speak coherently, "I can't bear the responsibility of being the deputy team leader. I think I still need a lot of things..."
"None of this matters." Zhao interrupted her directly, "Just tell me, if this job were given to you, could you do it well?"
"If it's given to me, I will definitely do my best to do it well, but..."
"Then there's no buts." Zhao interrupted her again, not allowing her to refuse, "Do your best."
Su Qingyun was speechless.
"This is the trust that your superiors have in you. Just work hard." Zhao Suo comforted him.
Since the higher-ups have asked Su Qingyun to take on this important task, it must be a decision made after careful consideration. Over the past few years, they have all witnessed Su Qingyun's abilities and talents. A scientific research talent with a bright future did not stay in other research institutes, but took the trouble to come to this laborious launch center. Naturally, they cannot waste her talent. Now is a time when there is a shortage of talents. Talented people must be used and made use of. Entrusting her with important tasks is both a trust in her and a test for her.
"Yes, Xiao Su, work hard, we all believe in you."
"You can do it. You were the one who proposed the manned space program, and this materials work is of paramount importance. Naturally, you must shoulder the responsibility of this endeavor."
"Qingyun, be brave and don't be afraid!"
Everyone tried to persuade her one after another. After working together for so long, they all knew how capable Su Qingyun was. No one in the entire launch center was dissatisfied with her. It seemed that she knew a little about everything. They even didn't know what her potential and ceiling were.
"Okay, thank you all for your trust. I will do my best." Everyone had said this, and Su Qingyun could only nod in agreement.
"That's right." Zhao nodded with satisfaction. He thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Professor Zhang was your former teacher. It will definitely be easier for you to get along with each other. When the time comes, you can get used to each other and then start the official work."
"Okay." Su Qingyun thought for a moment and then asked, "When will Professor Zhang arrive? I'll pick him up then."
"Probably in these two days." Zhao Suo said.
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded.
When she walked out of the meeting room, Su Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. While she was excited, she felt a heavy weight on her shoulders. Although she felt the responsibility was getting heavier, her motivation also increased.
Two days later, a car carrying Zhang Sida stopped at the entrance of the launch center. Su Qingyun had received the news in advance and was already waiting here.
"Professor Zhang." Seeing Zhang Sida get out of the car, Su Qingyun hurriedly greeted him.
"Qingyun!" Zhang Sida came over with his luggage, smiling broadly. "Long time no see."
"Yes, Professor Zhang, long time no see." Su Qingyun said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that after so much time, we have become colleagues from teacher and student." Zhang Sida felt that the world is unpredictable when he thought about this. When Qingyun was in school, he was always afraid that his students would be abducted. He didn't expect that now, he would be abducted.
When he heard that the manned space program had been launched, Zhang Sida could not hold back. He worked in materials engineering, and the research work on manned space flight was simply a hit to him, so when he received the news of the job transfer from the Academy of Sciences, he agreed without even thinking about it.
The former teacher and student looked at each other, and all their tacit understanding was unspoken.
