Ji Xiuyu and her husband Ning Zongxun are currently working at the "Mars Project" research base, which is located on the northwest edge of the Badain Jaran Desert in Ejina, less than 2300 kilometers away from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and more than kilometers away from the capital.
This is a very good place for scientific research, with sunny weather all year round, few rainy days, and limited vegetation. If you stand on a high place, you can see the flat and vast Gobi Desert all year round, as well as the blue sky with infinite sky. It is lonely but magnificent, making people forget the worldly atmosphere inadvertently.
For Ning Zongxun and his wife, who have worked in the underground research institute for many years, the scientific research conditions have improved a lot now.
The biggest change is that they can use modern communication tools such as mobile phones more freely during non-working hours, as long as they abide by relevant confidentiality regulations, which allows them to contact their families every day - of course, when entering the research site to work, the mobile phone still needs to be temporarily locked in a designated signal-proof cabinet.
Another benefit is that they are all equipped with an emergency contact phone, which is held by their work assistants. If any family members have any emergencies during working hours, they can be reached through this emergency contact phone.
What the assistant handed to Ji Xiuyu at this time was the emergency contact phone assigned to her.
Including Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun, there are no more than ten people who know this emergency contact mobile phone number.
Ji Xiuyu looked at the assistant in surprise, and the assistant whispered, "It's the old lady in your family."
Ji Xiuyu understood. If the old lady of the Ning family was Chu Mimei, the assistant would say "the old lady", and add "from your family", which means specifically Ji Xiuyu's biological mother Qiao Runlian.
Ji Xiu Yu was born into a scholarly family. Although her family's heritage is not as profound as that of the Ning family, which has been passed down for four or five hundred years, it is also a family with an uninterrupted inheritance of more than three hundred years. Throughout history, there have been many scholars and many of their children serving as officials, especially in the field of education.
By the time of Ji Xiuyu's generation, there were already twenty or thirty professors and teachers, and even some outstanding figures who became principals of famous universities and high schools.
Ji Xiuyu was naturally the most outstanding among them. She was an excellent scientific researcher herself, and later married into the Ning family, a well-matched family. Her husband was rated as an academician in his thirties, becoming the youngest academician in the Xia Kingdom at that time. It can be said that she was in great glory.
However, ever since she and her husband received a secret mission from the country and left Yuanzhou, she has been immersed in the research of "Noah's Ark" in the mysterious underground research institute for twenty years, and has dedicated almost all her youth to the future of Xia State. She can't even take care of her own daughter Ning Qingjun, let alone contact her elders in her mother's family. Therefore, even though she was later named an academician, she was almost a "transparent person" in the Ji family.
And because of her "absence", Ning Qingjun rarely returned to the Ji family, and her relationship with the relatives on that side was very weak.
When the "Planetary Shield Project" was successfully completed, mankind successfully withstood the attack of the super solar storm, "Noah's Ark" completed its historical mission, related technologies began to be unlocked and turned to space exploration, Ji Xiuyu and Ning Zongxun finally "returned" to the world and could "show their faces" in front of the world, and Ji Xiuyu resumed normal contact with her family.
At this time, Ji Xiuyu, as an academician, was still not well-known. Instead, her daughter Ning Qingjun and son-in-law Qin Ke had already become the most famous scientists and academicians in the world. This made Ji Xiuyu's "return" to the family attract great attention. Relatives who knew her and didn't know her tried their best to get close to her and build relationships with her, especially those who wanted their children to become master's or doctoral students under Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun.
No matter how good Ji Xiuyu was at dealing with people and being tactful, she was still annoyed. Fortunately, her mother, old lady Qiao Runlian, was sensible and blocked a lot of "flirting" and requests for her, otherwise Ji Xiuyu would have been even more uncomfortable.
Ji Xiuyu, who had originally been considering whether to retire from the scientific research community and spend more time with her two grandchildren, only gave it a brief consideration, discussed it with her daughter for one night, and then agreed when she received a new task from the country asking her and her husband to co-host and participate in the "Five-Year Plan to Mars."
Although the main reason was that she was reluctant to leave her husband and was used to being busy, making her feel uncomfortable when she was idle for more than a month, wanting to get out of the "quagmire" of her family and relatives was also an important reason for her decision.
Facts have proved that this decision was correct. In this "Mars Project" research base, Ji Xiuyu and her husband once again showed great enthusiasm for scientific research. No longer disturbed by trivial matters of life, they indulged in scientific research every day and lived a busy and fulfilling life. In addition, she practiced the "Eastern Peiyuan Method" with her husband every day, which made her spirit excellent and she looked more radiant than when she was idle at home.
When Ji Xiuyu heard the assistant say that her mother called, her heart skipped a beat.
Usually her mother contacts her at night outside working hours. What's the emergency?
She apologized to Academician Meng Zhenli and asked her husband to take over the conversation. She went to the quiet small meeting room next door and called her mother Qiao Runlian back:"Mom, what's wrong? What's the matter that's so urgent for me?" Qiao Runlian was the vice president of a key university in Huahai Province before retirement. She was a serious person, but she has been retired for more than 20 years. She plays with her grandchildren at home every day. Her temper has become better and better, and her voice has become softer:
"Xiuyu, I know you are busy during the day, but some things will be too late to talk about them at night. You won't blame me for disturbing your work, right?"
Ji Xiuyu recalled that she had not called her mother for nearly a month. She and her husband were very responsible people, and the "five-year" time given by the superiors was a bit tight. They often spontaneously worked overtime at night, and only after a period of busy work could they make time to make a video call with their family. This month, in order to study the "superconducting cooling sheet" and solve the problem of heat "overload effect", she and her husband were so busy that they forgot to eat and sleep, and even forgot the monthly video chat agreed with their two grandchildren, let alone contacting the old lady at home.
Ji Xiuyu felt guilty, and said hurriedly, "Mom, look at what you said. You always understand the big picture. If it wasn't a big deal, you wouldn't have called. Just tell me what's going on. I'll do what I can, and I'll find a way to create the conditions for what I can't do."
The old lady was amused: "You have always been very sweet-mouthed, but there are hooks hidden in your words. If I really use your connections to get a backdoor, I would be letting you down for saying 'you are very righteous', right?"
Ji Xiuyu hurriedly smiled and said, "Mom, I believe in you. You taught me personally. I really admire you as a person and I take you as a role model."
"Okay, I know your time is precious, so I'll get straight to the point. You still remember Ji Xiaoyu, your niece. When she was in junior high school, she went to the Nobel Prize ceremony with Qingjun. Since then, she has been fascinated by mathematics and physics. In high school, she won the first prize in the International Mathematical and Physics Olympiad. Although she didn't get a full score, she was still quite promising. She wanted to study for a master's degree with Qingjun, and she has been studying hard since she entered college. She is obviously a pretty good-looking girl, and there are many boys chasing after her, but she just ignored them and kept a straight line between class, library, and dormitory every day, just to be able to stay in graduate school..."
Ji Xiuyu could hear the pride in the old lady's tone, and she had a good impression of Ji Xiaoyu. Ji Xiaoyu was her brother's youngest daughter. Apart from being a little introverted and not very good at socializing, she had no shortcomings. She was pretty, tall, and had excellent grades. She was successfully admitted to Qingmu University four years ago. She was also gentle, well-educated, and very low-key. From junior high school to college, she never mentioned to outsiders that her cousin was Ning Qingjun.
It can be said that Ji Xiaoyu is the most favored grandchildren by old lady Qiao Runlian.
"Hey, when it comes to Xiaoyu, everyone will give her a thumbs up and praise her for being a smart and well-behaved child." Ji Xiuyu took the opportunity to praise her, secretly wondering if the old lady was going to make an exception and ask for a favor for her beloved granddaughter.
Ning Qingjun and Qin Ke now only recruit master's students every year, and no longer recruit doctoral students. They directly recruit from their graduated master's students. Despite this, they have very few places for master's students, and only recruit four boys and four girls every year. In order to ensure that students of the same class have enough opportunities to communicate with the international community, and to introduce outstanding foreign students to Xia Country, one of the places is reserved for international students. In the past few years, more than half of the foreign students they taught have chosen to stay in Xia Country, either following their two mentors to do research, or being hired as associate professors by famous domestic universities, which has steadily increased the number of top young talents in Xia Country.
Well, that is to say, among the more than 10 million undergraduate graduates in Xia Country every year, only three boys and three girls are lucky enough to become their disciples.
No matter how unknown they were before, as long as they could pass Qin Kening Qingjun's written test and interview and were finally admitted, they could definitely be described as "ten years of hard study with no one paying attention, but becoming famous overnight and known to the world", and they would even be called "the top scorer", "the second place" or "the third place" by the education circle and parents' circles according to their ranking.
This shows how popular, respected and sought after these six places are, and you can imagine how fierce the competition is.
Obtaining the qualification for guaranteed postgraduate study at Qingmu University is the first hurdle to compete for the six places of Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun.
Qingmu University has limited places for guaranteed admission to graduate school, and it also recruits outstanding undergraduates from famous domestic and foreign universities. The difficulty of successfully being admitted to graduate school is even much greater than getting admitted to Qingmu University's ideal major with high scores in the college entrance examination.
It is now mid-to-late September, and we are in the pre-recommendation stage for admission to graduate school and are about to enter the formal admission stage. This is a critical moment, so it is normal for Ji Xiuyu to have such speculation.
"Xiaoyu is a stubborn girl. She never thought of contacting Qingjun, her cousin, to get in touch with her. She just wanted to rely on her own strength to get into graduate school, pass the written test and interview, and become her cousin's student. Not only did she not have a romantic relationship in college, but she spent almost all her time on achieving the goal of getting into graduate school. Her GPA has always been above 3.95. She has participated in more than 5 competitions and more than 12 social practices... During her busiest time, she had to take exams a month and complete papers and reports... She even donated blood three times a year to improve her comprehensive test scores..."
When the old lady said this, her tone was full of heartache, and Ji Xiuyu was also moved.
"Of course, if she is not as skilled as others, even if she has put in so much effort but still fails to qualify for the postgraduate study, then she can't blame anyone else but herself for not being talented enough and not working hard enough, and I won't say anything. But this time, she lost the postgraduate study qualification because she was framed and reported by someone, so I, an old lady, have to step in and fight for her. I wanted to find Qingjun, but she intervened directly in the matter, and it had a bad impact if it got out, so she shamelessly came to you." (End of this chapter)
