It is late December, and today is a festive day for the institute. The huge conference hall is packed with people.

At the front of the meeting, there was a banner that read "Armored Forces Engineering Research Institute Awarding Ceremony."

Everyone's face was filled with a genuine smile, and the crowd began chatting before the meeting even started.

Only at this time will all the scientific researchers in the institute be willing to come out of the laboratory, and what is even more rare is that they will gather together.

If a meeting is held for some unimportant matters under normal circumstances, even Director Song will have to face the chatter of the crowd.

Du Yimeng was also among them, wearing a Type 55 military uniform. She had two badges of first-class merit and third-class merit on her chest, as well as a party member badge.

This was her first time attending such a meeting, and this authorization ceremony was the second time held by the institute, the first being when the Type 59 tank was successfully trial-produced.

At that time, she had just been transferred to the research institute. However, she did not participate in the trial production of the Type 59 tank, so she was not qualified to attend such a meeting.

But today is different, she is the protagonist.

Wan Ping, who was beside her, kept looking at her with resentment.

She turned around and saw this scene, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Looking at her like that in front of so many people, someone who didn't know would think she had done something to him!

She was just wearing a military uniform!

Wan Ping: Is this about military uniforms?

This is a question of level, okay?

You should know that military uniforms are issued to officers above the rank of colonel. You can tell their rank by just looking at the uniform without looking at their rank.

Putting aside the more than one year since I came to the institute, let’s talk about the past.

The former poor student was wearing a military uniform, while he, the top student, was wearing casual clothes. The difference between the two was not even on the same level.

She has two bars and one star, while he has one bar and one star, which is one more bar than him. Is this a matter of one bar?

Do not……

This was his dignity being pressed to the ground and rubbed hard by her, and then rubbed again and again...

It was okay for him to have some friction now, after all, he had seen her growth. She was indeed more knowledgeable than him now, and he accepted it.

But he was clearly a top student before, and she was a real poor student, but the result was like this, why?

"It's not good to keep the medals locked in the box all the time. I should take them out to dry in the sun more often. What if they get rusty or moldy?" Du Yimeng turned around while speaking, trying to let Wan Ping see her two medals at first sight.

She was not disappointed. Wan Ping's eyes subconsciously fell on the medal, and then his pupils shrank.

She was not qualified to attend the last awarding ceremony, but Wan Ping won a third-class merit.

He was so proud of himself during those days, even though he had nothing on his chest when he was working during the day.

As a result, when he was giving her extra lessons in the evening, the medal appeared on his chest.

The light hit the medal and reflected on her face, almost blinding her.

The reasons he gave then and her reasons now were exactly the same, except that she changed the moon to the sun.

She had ignored him at the time, just to wait for this day. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Which is stronger, deliberately showing off or showing off unintentionally? Of course, the latter is stronger.

"I remember that when we were in college, we both submitted applications to join the party together. I have been a party member for one year, so why are you still a probationary member?" Du Yimeng's words could be said to have hit Wan Ping directly in the lungs.

Wan Ping: ...

He also wanted to know, since it takes two years from submitting an application to becoming a probationary party member.

Why is it early when it comes to her?

Finally, his eyes fell on her medal of first-class merit. He didn't need to guess to know that it was this medal that made her successful.

He silently turned his head away and ignored her, because he was afraid that if he continued to look at her, he would want to take off the medal and wear it on his chest.

As a result, when he turned his head, he saw the two-bar three-star medal on Qin Chulong's shoulder. The next second, he closed his eyes tightly, and he saw nothing.

Everyone in the room was wearing military uniform, but he was the only one wearing casual clothes. It was really sad!

Soon the awarding ceremony began. The conference hall, which was noisy the previous second, became silent the next second.

Then everyone straightened their chests and sat up straight.

Soldiers' sitting posture is also strictly trained. When sitting, the lower back and legs, thighs and calves are at right angles.

Keep your upper body straight, legs shoulder-width apart, and hands naturally placed on your knees.

It was like a noisy vegetable market one second, and a solemn occasion the next.

Director Song spoke a great deal while reading the order for the rank conferment. Ten minutes later, he licked his dry lips.

But everyone was cheered up as they finally got to the point.

Director Song took in everyone's reactions. He coughed lightly and took out the document of the awarding order.

"After review by our superiors, Comrades Qin Chulong, Du Yimeng and Wanping have developed high-carbon alloy armor-piercing bullets, making great contributions to the country. After evaluation by our superiors, we awarded the three first-class merit medals and promoted their military ranks by one level." Director Song finally finished reading out the awarding order.

"Please applaud to express your congratulations!" Director Song said with a smile, and then took the lead in applauding.

Wan Ping's breathing stopped. He was not mistaken in hearing that it was a first-class merit!

He was just envious of Du Yimeng's first-class medal of honor, but he didn't expect that he would get one the next time.

Dad...he's made it big...

Du Yimeng, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly broke down and smiled.

At this solemn moment, she should maintain the strict image of a soldier, but she really couldn't help it!

Even the serious Qin Chulong couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

When leaders such as Director Song and Political Commissar Yang awarded them military ranks, the three men had already put away the unnecessary expressions on their faces and returned to their serious military appearances.

This process is the most important time for soldiers, and it is not only a recognition of their efforts.

Also, it is full of a sense of honor and mission.

These are things that are engraved in the bones of soldiers. Memories may fade, but these will never be forgotten.

As for the others who participated in the research and development of high-carbon alloy armor-piercing bullets, those who made great contributions were awarded a third-class merit, or at least received a commendation.

In fact, for everyone, the size of military achievements is not important. As long as their efforts can help the country have more powerful weapons, it is enough.

The ceremony ends with a solemn oath to express their loyalty to the country and their determination to fulfill their military duties.

This solemn ceremony is not only an encouragement to everyone, but also a spur to their future.

I will sacrifice my life to ensure that the people have no worries and the country is safe.

In a simple sentence, some people gave their lives for it, while others silently contributed their entire lives to it.
