The contact with Professor Shi.
It also made Xu Dajun realize the quality of the older generation of researchers.
They really didn't want anything from working for the country.
This was because the country was too poor to afford it.
When they were young, all of them had relied on their own strength to make a name for themselves overseas.
Take Professor Shi as an example. He was also overseas back then.
The largest textile mill in a certain country was doing research on improving the efficiency of textile machines, and it earned tens of thousands of pounds a month.
Not only did he have his own personal staff, but he also had a dedicated servant.
His mentor was also full of expectations for Professor Shi's future and promised that he would be able to enter the Royal Academy of Sciences very soon.
In the end, when he knew that his country needed him, Professor Shi rejected his mentor's kindness and left everything behind to return to his country resolutely.
After returning to China, Professor Shi only had a monthly salary of 300 yuan, but he had no complaints about this.
What he was thinking about now was how to make his country stronger.
"Professor Shi, back then, you abandoned all your glory and wealth to come back. Do you regret it now?”Xu Dajun asked.
Such a huge difference was definitely not something that ordinary people could accept.
He did not know how determined these seniors were and what kind of dreams they harbored to return to China without hesitation.
When the country had just been liberated and established, all that was left was ruins.
"Regret? I did regret it, I regretted that I didn't have the power to build the country better, to stop the country from being bullied by those powerful empires.”Professor Shi said with a bitter smile.
"After so many years and countless hardships, we have come to a conclusion. If we fall behind, we will be beaten. If we don't want to be beaten, we can only become stronger.”
"Not having the ability to protect yourself and having the ability to protect yourself but not using it are completely different things.”
"Just because the atomic bomb was produced doesn't mean that we have to hit or take revenge on anyone. We just don't want anyone to hit us.”
Professor Shi sighed.
Over the years, he had experienced many such things.
Previously, his country could not even obtain equal trade rights with those foreign powers.
They were suppressed everywhere and restrained by foreign countries.
In order to let the people live a better life, this group of scientists had done everything they could and were willing to sacrifice everything they had. Finally, they stood up in front of these powers.
Even if the current situation was still backward, the lives of the people were still not rich.
However, the foreign powers no longer dared to underestimate him.
This was all thanks to researchers like Professor Shi.
Hearing Professor Shi's words, Xu Dajun felt a lot.
"Now, I'm old. I don't know how many more years I can work for the country. The future of the country belongs to you, to you young people.”
"Sometimes I feel tired. I feel like I should put down everything in my hands and retire. The country has also mentioned this to me.”
"However, I don't see any of my students who can take over my work, so I don't dare to rest. What if I rest and the national research project is delayed?”
Professor Shi looked helpless.
Even if many foreign scientists came back, there were still too few talents in the country who could take charge.
Professor Shi's worry was not without reason.
However, he met Xu Dajun. Seeing the strength that Xu Dajun had displayed, he decided that Xu Dajun was the best successor for him.
However, what Professor Shi did not expect was that Xu Dajun was not satisfied with researching textile machines. Instead, he was thinking about how to change the technological environment.
This was something that even Professor Shi didn't dare to think about. Such an idea was too exaggerated and too ambitious.
If a country's technology could undergo a qualitative change with the strength of a single person, it would be impossible for it to be a country's technology.
Then the country wouldn't need so many scientists.
However, Professor Shi was willing to take the gamble and trust Xu Dajun.
If Xu Dajun could really succeed, it would be a blessing for the country.
Even if he couldn't succeed, he would at most work hard for a few years and then let Xu Dajun take over his position.
"I'm willing to trust you this time. If you don't succeed, come find me. My position will always be reserved for you.”Professor Shi said with a smile.
Xu Dajun was touched when he heard this.
He did not know why Professor Shi trusted him so much.
He only knew that he absolutely could not disappoint his old friend.
"I'm not going. Keep your position. I want a higher position. I want to be our country's chief scientist!”Xu Dajun said arrogantly.
Professor Shi looked at Xu Dajun's childish expression and smiled with satisfaction.
Throughout the night, the two of them chatted like long-time friends.
From the impact of technology on a country to the direction of future technology development.
Many of Xu Dajun's ideas surprised Professor Shi.
However, after chatting about this.
Professor Shi was even more certain.
Xu Dajun was definitely the person he was looking for.
He definitely had the ability to lead the country to prosperity! Towards strength!
