A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

The rooster crows, and dawn breaks.

"Success!" Senior Sister Zehui threw the record sheet in her hand into the air, hugged Dr. Lan Ying next to her, and shouted and jumped.

"As expected! As expected! We have observed electron interference! We are the first in the world!"

The master craftsmen participating in the experiment didn't understand anything about electrons or interference, but these simple men were extremely sensitive to the phrase "world's first".

No matter what it is, as long as we get first place, we'll be motivated!

"We've become number one again! Hahaha, our steel rolling mill is in top form!"

"Hey! Without the strong support from our Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power, you wouldn't even be able to run the machines..."

"Hey... we're all comrades! This medal is half ours and half yours!"

"Hehe, that makes sense!"

"Hey! We workers have power! Hey! We workers have power!"

"Skyscrapers were built, railways and coal mines were constructed, and the world was transformed in such a way!" After a brief debate, everyone finally settled the dispute by singing a chorus.

Secretary Liu's eyes twitched slightly as he watched the papers fluttering in the air. Seeing the big shots' delighted expressions, he dared not say anything, and could only give a wink to the badge warriors around him, preparing to crawl on the ground and collect the papers one by one.

Seeing Secretary Liu dodging the jumping feet of the crowd while diligently collecting papers, Jiang Xia kindly pulled him up.

"What are you doing?"

"Hey! Such valuable experimental data, and you guys don't even cherish it! What will you do if some outsiders pick up a few sheets?"

“Hey! Don’t worry about that. The biggest achievement of this experiment is that…” Jiang Xia said, pointing to the still-flickering fluorescent screen next to him.

"See those vertical lines? That's our result!"

Secretary Liu paused, then gave Jiang Xia a look that said, "Don't think I'm easy to fool." She then sighed, "Fine, I don't understand, but I trust you. But the documents are scattered everywhere..."

"It's alright, all the official documents are here. There will be plenty of foreigners looking for faults, so I haven't been careless! The senior sister only threw away some draft paper."

"Let those with ulterior motives pick it up. This experiment is going to be publicized anyway, and maybe some things leaked by certain people will attract the attention of those big-nosed people..."

As he spoke, Jiang Xia tilted his head towards Old Wang behind him.

Old Wang chuckled and whispered to Secretary Liu, "That's why I left a few mice. We're outnumbered, and I've read the Thirty-Six Stratagems like the back of my hand!"

"I won't listen, I'm determined to protect the experimental data!"

Helpless, Jiang Xia stuffed the serious experimental data into Secretary Liu's arms, watched Secretary Liu run off nervously, and stretched: "Old Wang, come on, let's go to the cafeteria and get food for our senior..."

Before Old Wang could reply, someone said:

"No need, I brought my own food..."

Jiang Xia looked up, "Oh! You're the uncle who gave me the photos last time? Could it be...?"

Jiang Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she approached Secretary Zhao with some enthusiasm: "Hehe, Uncle, did the old man write for me again?"

"no!"

"Ah..." The ahoge (cowlick) lay down.

"However, there's something even more precious than that. It's just..." Secretary Zhao glanced at the people present and roughly counted nearly a hundred...

"The portion is insufficient; are you willing to share it with others?"

Secretary Zhao, with his perverse sense of humor, opened the lunchbox behind him. There wasn't much inside: a large plate of braised pork with very few pieces of meat but plenty of other ingredients; and stir-fried cabbage, which, well, didn't look very appetizing, with some parts showing signs of burning.

Finally, there was a small dish of peanuts. The peanuts were prepared quite well, each one white with a hint of yellow.

"Hey, I thought something was wrong! Hmm, could this have been made by the old man's personal chef? Is this a congratulatory gift from the old man because he knows our experiment was successful? Then let everyone have a taste!"

Secretary Zhao quickly covered Jiang Xia's mouth as she tried to turn around and call out to her senior.

"Slow down, slow down..."

"Look at this..."

Secretary Zhao slowly handed over a photograph.

"You mean, these dishes were prepared personally by these two elderly people..."

抖

Trembling.

In addition, the lingering aftertaste of lightning caused by electrons colliding with the air still remained in his eyes, making the little ahoge greedily bring the photos close to his eyes and examine them carefully.

I'm getting old.

They have so much more gray hair on their heads!

It was pitch black all around, so why was the old man holding a flashlight to light his cooking? No wonder the cabbage burned...

After taking a look, Jiangxia started slurping noodles.

Haha, I love watching young people sniffle like this. Secretary Zhao took two steps back, quietly raised her Polaroid camera, and luxuriously used two photos to record the little guy's expression at this moment.

"So...would you still be willing to share?"

Secretary Zhao remained smiling, but somehow produced a ruler and slapped it hard at Old Wang's hand as he secretly reached for the peanuts.

Jiang Xia snatched the small basket from Secretary Zhao's hand and disappeared into the crowd after a few twists and turns.

"Tsk... Little brat, so possessive of your food? Give me a peanut to try!"

Using a ruler as a sword, Secretary Zhao beckoned to Old Wang with his finger.

"Give me two!"

"I only touched two in total!"

"Then you eat the peanut skins!"

……

"Comrades!"

"Comrades!"

Jiang Xia's shouts drew everyone's attention. Seeing the little guy who had somehow climbed onto the table on the platform and was raising his arms and shouting, Secretary Zhao temporarily stopped his plan to use force to suppress Old Wang.

"What's this kid up to?"

"Could it be that he wants to?"

Secretary Zhao's pupils contracted sharply, and the ruler in his hand creaked loudly as he gripped it tightly.

As Jiang Xia shouted, everyone present respectfully stopped what they were doing and stared intently at him:

"Comrades! Look at the vegetables in my hand! And look at this photo! The old man personally congratulated us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint commotion arose: "What old man, personally offering congratulations?"

"Just a few dishes?"

Jiang Xia carefully took the dishes out of the basket and placed them one by one on the dais.

"Old Wang, show the photos to everyone..."

Old Wang tossed two peanuts into his mouth, raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Secretary Zhao, and then ran up to the stage with a fawning expression to take the photo from Jiang Xia's hand.

"Brother Wang! Please, I know the comrades will be very excited later, but can you promise me that you'll protect this photo? It's very important to me!"

This was the first time Old Wang had ever heard Jiang Xia speak in such a tone, but after a moment's thought, he immediately nodded vigorously.

As Lao Wang walked past the crowd, gasps of surprise rippled through the air.

"Oh my god! Is this real?"

"So it was these two elderly people..."

"Did they cook all those dishes themselves?"

"Did the old man cook for us? To celebrate the success of our experiment?"

Huffing and puffing, everyone's eyes slowly turned red as they stared intently at the dishes on the platform.

"No rush! Everyone gets a share! Every participant should have a taste!"

Before the words were even finished, the people who had already seen the photos all took a step forward, their burning gazes almost igniting Jiang Xia's own.

Secretary Zhao glanced at the commotion and cursed under his breath: "You brat, I know you're generous, and it's fine if you want to share things with your comrades, but! You can't put yourself in danger!"

The sensation caused every time the old man appeared in public...

Bah, that brat is clever, but his social skills...

Secretary Zhao wanted to squeeze through the crowd to protect this reckless brat from being trampled into mincemeat.

But the people in front were all crowded together, so it wasn't easy to get past them!

Moreover, some people have already been pushed onto the podium.

Oops!

"That brat has no sense of proportion! I'll definitely have to teach him a lesson later!" Secretary Zhao thought to himself, feeling somewhat pessimistic.

Looting?

riot?

Scream?

Bah! You're underestimating the quality of our workers.

A hundred or so people walked by in line, and the braised pork was perfectly intact except for a large portion of the broth and a few less side dishes.

There were fewer cabbage stalks, only about a third of them.

The red skin of the peanuts has been completely peeled off, leaving the plump white shells still rolling around in the dish.

"Jiang Gong! We've only scratched the surface and tasted it; let's leave the braised pork to the brain-teasing scientists!"

"O(n_n)O Haha~! Yes! You guys eat quickly, so you can produce a few more 'world's first' experiments!"

The experienced workers at the steel rolling mill shared steamed buns dipped in a little sauce, eating them with beaming smiles.

"Yes! Xiao Jiang, don't worry about not having electricity! Just let us know and we'll bring the generator over!"

The young man from the Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power held the peanut shells in his palm, carefully stuck out his tongue and licked them, his face beaming with joy.

This is our people. With them, how can we not prosper!
