Chapter 88: Demonstrating the Value of United Front Work! From now on, your words will surely be hea
"In addition to these, potassium indium phosphide and various rare earth elements are also essential raw materials."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, Chief Hou finally had a vague concept of this technology in his mind.
Although it's still unclear just how awesome this thing is.
They can all do something.
But now that he has the necessary materials, he can start making preliminary preparations.
Chief Hou nodded. Lin Yu had said so much to him, and even though it was already past midnight, he was still a little impatient to get to work.
"Okay, that's settled then."
"Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
"I will present everything you said this time."
"Reliable academicians and experts in the industry will be invited to discuss the matter. There will most likely be a seminar, and you will be the keynote speaker. You should start preparing now."
After Chief Hou finished speaking, the seriousness on his face finally faded, replaced by a relaxed smile.
Seeing Lin Yu frowning and deep in thought as he held the three award documents, he patted him on the shoulder with a sense of relief.
Lin Yu has indeed been very tired lately.
As for the terahertz and strategic deception matters, let him rest for a couple of days first.
Let him experience the joy of honor for now.
"As for now, your mission is over, you can take a rest."
"All the honors you have today were decided by the higher-ups in an emergency meeting overnight."
Do you know what that means?
Lin Yu looked up, somewhat bewildered.
The fact that he received a special award is indeed very significant.
But for him, it was purely a commemorative event. If he were to continue speculating, he felt it also meant that the higher-ups had given him more trust, and that his scientific research would go more smoothly in the future.
Seeing Lin Yu's bewildered expression, Chief Hou quietly leaned close to his ear and whispered an explanation to him in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"The complete version of this item has only been secretly granted to seventeen people since the founding of the nation."
"Qian Lao, Deng Lao, and Yu Lao, their award is People's Scientist."
"You're still young, and what you produce isn't important enough."
"But the medal you received was arranged by Mr. Qian himself."
"Although they only awarded you the title of National Honorary Young Scientist, their intention is to hope that you will become the eighteenth People's Scientist in all your rightful place."
"You did a great job with the oil business, but to put it bluntly, it's just unleaded gasoline; we'll be able to get that out sooner or later."
"But what's most admirable is your act of putting life and death aside and personal interests aside."
Lin Yu blushed at these blunt words.
He hadn't really thought that much about it; his mind acted before his body.
"Uncle Hou, I..."
Chief Hou shook his head, interrupting him, and said directly, regardless of what Lin Yu was about to say:
"You have already demonstrated your value in the united front effort."
"Previously, you were just an ordinary student, and our contact was only that of a scientist and a secret service agency."
"But now, with these two medals and an appointment..."
"What you said already carries weight. Like before, no matter how much you brought up the matter of strategic deception with me, I wouldn't mainly consider your opinion, not because there's a problem with the tactics, but because you're not at a high level."
"Now, with these, no matter what industry you enter, you will no longer be just an ordinary scientist pointing fingers."
"It was actually guidance from higher-ups."
Commander Hou patted Lin Yu on the shoulder:
"You're a sensible person, so I'll be frank with you. From now on, don't act arrogantly or bully the people. Always stick to your original intentions."
"Then…"
At this point, Chief Hou drew out the last syllable, then laughed heartily and extended a hand.
"Then let's build socialism together!"
"Perhaps because we are far behind Europe and the United States in terms of technology, they feel that the moon is rounder in foreign countries than in China."
"The country may not be rich and powerful enough to satisfy some people's desire for wealth."
"A few days ago, the '87 Poverty Alleviation Goals' were released. We still have 80 million people living in absolute poverty in rural areas who can't even solve their basic needs for food and clothing."
"But I believe this will only be temporary."
"Your teacher, Professor Song, told me something before..."
"After your research group's funding was cut off, you planned to build your aerospace empire from scratch all by yourself."
At this point, Lin Yu's face began to turn red.
His throat felt tight.
But he still grabbed the hand that Chief Hou offered.
"Yes, I want to build socialism!"
"I also want to build my space empire."
Lin Yu forced himself to say these words, his face flushed with embarrassment.
After all, he's just a young man in his early twenties. Who would believe him? He wants to do something that a country has to spend a lot of money on.
But that's his wish, and he doesn't care if people laugh at him.
He remembered himself a few months ago, wandering alone in the snowy night.
I was reminded of the calligraphy and painting hanging in our research group that read, "Ten years of building up resources, ten years of learning lessons."
I remembered what Professor Song said with red eyes.
"Then let him be, let him be, let him do as he pleases. We'll come back to see what he's like when the country is strong and has the money to develop satellites."
I remembered the vow I made to my teacher.
"Even if it means lying, stealing, cheating, or eating people... I will make sure that scene never happens to us."
This was his wish: to build socialism, and to embark on a journey to the stars and the sea.
Even in the very end, if everything can be achieved.
He also wants to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
He admitted that he was an absolute idealist.
He is willing to pay the price for his ideals.
They are also willing to strive for their ideals.
But after he finished speaking...
Chief Hou showed absolutely no mockery.
He nodded, his eyes full of approval.
She gently placed her hand on Lin Yu's head, like an elderly person enjoying the company of their grandchild in a rocking chair, kind and gratified.
"Good boy, good ambition."
"I believe it."
"I believe we will build socialism well, and I also believe you can build your space empire."
"The world is destined to belong to your new generation, and I truly hope I'm still alive to see that day."
Chief Hou slapped Lin Yu's head, making him feel a sharp pain.
"Go and do it, child!"
"Perhaps before, you could only build your space empire by yourself, but now it's different."
Commander Hou paused, his voice tinged with emotion.
"There was another message on it that I was asked to bring to you."
"They say what you're doing now is harder than building a satellite, and that the satellite will be built sooner or later."
"But to make so many people believe that technology can change lives, to make so many people willing to move forward with you, and to break through the barriers in this industry."
This is something that not everyone can do.
"You have already established your own personal charisma."
"So, that research institute isn't a reward for you, but a responsibility."
"Go ahead and do whatever research you want to do."
"We lack money, manpower, and equipment; the higher-ups will find a way to help you."
"But you also have to remember that there are so many eyes watching you."
After listening to Commander Hou's words, Lin Yu took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
"I've got it!"
