Chapter 176 Prepare to develop the 4th generation fighter jets!
The host walked onto the stage with steady steps, his resonant voice echoing in the auditorium: "Dear leaders and distinguished guests, we are gathered here today to hold this commendation meeting of extraordinary significance."
The host introduced the leaders and guests attending the conference, and elaborated on the far-reaching significance of this commendation conference for national defense scientific research.
As the host finished his speech, a leader slowly walked onto the stage. After saying some official words, he asked the third-level scientific researchers to come up, a total of eight people.
Next, there are five people at level two.
After that, the leader turned his attention to Qi Tongwei.
The leader cleared his throat and began to speak: "I believe everyone present knows the name Qi Tongwei. Yes, he is the only one and the first in our history this year to have made the leap from an ordinary researcher to a first-level academician!"
"Comrade Qi Tongwei has made outstanding contributions to national defense research. He led his team to overcome numerous difficulties and successfully developed a groundbreaking third-generation fighter jet."
"His innovative spirit, his perseverance, and his selfless dedication have all set a shining example for us. Today, we are here to officially announce that Comrade Qi Tongwei has been awarded the title of First-Class Academician of National Defense Research, and to commend him for his tremendous contributions to research and development."
"Now, let us welcome Comrade Qi Tongwei to the stage with the warmest applause!"
Amidst warm applause from the audience, Qi Tongwei stood up.
He walked onto the stage with steady steps. The leader looked at him with a smile. He took the medal of honor from the ceremonial staff and then solemnly placed it on Qi Tongwei's chest.
Qi Tongwei stared at the medal, his heart filled with emotion.
This medal is so heavy, it carries the country's trust in him and the expectations of countless people.
He raised his hand and gave a standard military salute, expressing his cherishment of this honor and his deep respect for the country and scientific research.
After putting on the medal, Qi Tongwei walked to the microphone and began to deliver his acceptance speech.
His voice was steady and powerful. "I am incredibly excited to be standing here today. Looking back on my scientific research journey, from that initial seemingly unattainable idea, we have experienced countless difficulties and setbacks."
"During the development of the third-generation fighter jet, there were countless times when we almost gave up, but we didn't. We persevered and persevered. Teamwork was crucial to this. Every member of the team made tremendous efforts. Without them, we would not have achieved what we have today. I want to thank them for every drop of their sweat and every bit of their wisdom."
Qi Tongwei paused, his gaze growing more resolute. "This honor is a recognition of our past, but it's also an encouragement for our future. National defense research is a never-ending endeavor, and we can't become complacent simply because we've achieved a few minor accomplishments."
"We must continue to forge ahead and innovate. We must develop fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft to make our country even stronger in the field of national defense and to intimidate those countries that are eyeing us covetously. We must make China a giant dragon in the East that they dare not underestimate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause again.
After the commendation meeting, Qi Tongwei was invited by the leaders to a conference room for communication.
The leaders once again highly recognized Qi Tongwei's achievements.
At this time, a leader said earnestly:
"Tongwei, your scientific research capabilities are obvious to all, and the country is in great need of talents like you."
"We hope you can devote yourself to scientific research. As you know, we think it's best for you to give up that special forces selection you were so eager to participate in. It's too dangerous. If something unexpected happens, it will be a huge loss to our scientific research."
Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment, his mind instantly flashing back to the smoke-filled battlefield he had always longed to return to, the destination of his dream of becoming a special forces soldier. He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of stubbornness and persistence.
After a few seconds of silence, he slowly spoke in a steady and sincere voice:
"Dear leaders, I am deeply grateful for your concern for me and your emphasis on scientific research. I understand your concerns, but for me, the frontline environment holds a special magic. There, every danger, every challenge is like a fire, igniting the passion deep within me. The feeling of teetering on the brink of life and death, the tension of close combat with the enemy, sharpens my mind to an incomparable level."
He raised his head slightly, his eyes flickering with memories, and continued, "On the front lines, I can personally feel the most direct needs of national defense. The experience gained in actual combat, the lessons learned through blood and fire, will become a source of inspiration for my innovation."
"Just like when I was developing third-generation fighter jets, many key ideas came from my imagination of actual combat scenarios and my deep understanding of battlefield requirements. I don't want to give up this opportunity that allows me to constantly break through myself, because it is a part of my life and what I have always pursued."
"Of course, I also assure you, leaders, that although I am serving in the special forces, first, I will ensure my own safety. Second, if the scientific research project needs me, I will definitely come as soon as possible."
The leader listened to Qi Tongwei's words quietly, sighed slightly, and seemed a little helpless.
But he was also moved by Qi Tongwei's persistence, so he stopped forcing him, but just reminded him to pay attention to his own safety and not put himself in unnecessary danger.
As Qi Tongwei was communicating with the leaders, a highly respected leader in the scientific research field spoke up: "Academician Qi, the success of the third-generation fighter jets has shown us a new height in national defense research. Now, we cannot stand still."
"The development of fourth-generation fighter jets is already underway, and we very much hope that you will continue to participate in its development. Your experience and innovative thinking are extremely valuable assets to this project. With you, we are confident that we can overcome key technical difficulties more quickly and enable our country to achieve a leading position in the field of fourth-generation fighter jets."
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up. He thought seriously for a moment and said, "Leader, I'm very willing to participate in the research and development of fourth-generation fighter jets. However, I hope that during the research and development process, we can boldly try some new concepts and technologies and not be constrained by traditional thinking."
The leader nodded and said, "Of course. We believe in your personal abilities."
