Chapter Thirty-Three: Repaying the Motherland

  After waiting for about a few minutes, Professor Qian, who had been bowing his head in contemplation, raised his head and gazed at Xianyu's eyes, saying seriously: "Although I was angry with your initial deception, I am willing to believe my own eyes. In this period of time, what I have seen is that Xianyu is a kind girl, she has her own thoughts, but the integrity of these thoughts should not be questioned. I know that your abilities are far more than this, no matter what your purpose is for hiding your true abilities, I only have one request for you: you must always remember this initial intention to serve the motherland."

  After a pause, Professor Qian's tone suddenly changed. "You minored in history, so you should know how our motherland has developed to this day. For us old folks, the four words 'serve the country' weigh more than a thousand catties. Our parents sacrificed their lives to protect this nation and also protected us from the ravages of war. We didn't face invasion and war directly, but we experienced the country's poverty and backwardness. So our generation has never forgotten the legacy of our forefathers, which is why we have built our motherland into the mighty lion it is today."

  "To me, the motherland is not only a mother but also a child. Serving the motherland is our mission and responsibility that has been carved into our bones."

  After finishing this speech, Professor Qian's eyes became somewhat moist. At first, Xianyu was delighted by Professor Qian's trust, but later his tone became more and more serious, to the point where she had to start taking his words seriously and consider the deeper meaning behind them.

  She was born and grew up in the galaxy, after coming to Earth, although she liked the history and customs of the earth, and was moved by the kind and honest people around her, but she always lacked a sense of belonging. She knew the origin and development of this nation, and also knew the hardships and glories that this country had gone through. When she read this history before, she only felt the weight and inevitability of history, but did not feel empathy. At this moment, after listening to Professor Qian's confession, she finally understood that she had never truly put herself in the identity of a bystander.

  If one's mind is indulgent and focused on external things, how can he know what honor and shame are like?

  She had never been clearer than at this moment that she was a salted fish, but also idle. She would live with the personality and habits of a salted fish, and also undertake the identity and responsibility of being idle.

  "Professor Qian, although beautiful words are empty, I still want to assure you that I will always be a Chinese and work hard for the glory of China. Please watch me."

  This guarantee is not a single bit false, all from the heart. Perhaps she doesn't have the money to be so selfless and great, but she has her own principles and integrity, and will not betray the country, that's her bottom line. She certainly wants to get rich, but if it means selling out her country as a condition, being poor for a lifetime is no big deal.

  After listening to Xianyu's sincere guarantee, Professor Qian wiped his eyes and finally smiled happily. With people like this participating in the construction of our motherland, the day of prosperity is just around the corner.

  "Haha! Alright, I'll definitely live a few more years to see it! You can go back now, I've taken care of Zhou Mei and the others' matters. If they don't do well in the future or become our country's female scientists, I'll hold you responsible!"

  Professor Qian waved his hand and shooed the idle people away. Today was really embarrassing, actually getting teary-eyed in front of a younger generation.

  Seeing Professor Qian's slightly red face, she knew he was probably unable to save face, so she didn't stay any longer. She hurried back to tell Zhou Mei and the others this good news, then continued yesterday's unfinished task.

  It's a heavy responsibility to cultivate three female scientists for the country!

  "You're finally back with some free time, how was it? Did Professor Qian agree?"

  The waiting time is always long, and the spare time has been gone for more than two hours, which makes them anxious. So as soon as she arrives at the dormitory, she is surrounded by them and eager to know the result.

  With a great deal of effort, she pushed them open, put the computer in place, and then turned around calmly to say: "Alright, you'd better be prepared to welcome my devil training."

  After a few seconds, she tilted her head and added: "I promised Professor Qian to cultivate you into the future female scientists of our country."

  The three of them were still excited and hadn't had time to cheer when they heard Xianyu's supplementary sentence, and suddenly became calm, turned their heads, stared at Xianyu with wide eyes, and stuttered: "Y...you're telling the truth?"

  Xianyu nodded slightly, "Otherwise, why would Professor Qian agree to help?"

  What else could it be? Of course, it's because of you! Could it be because of those three useless and incompetent girls? The three of them are very clear about this in their hearts.

  The more knowledge they acquired, the more they understood this profession, and the more they understood leisure, the more they would know the harm of leisure. Just from last night's explanation and the development of this new project, they felt the unfathomable strength of the idle bigwigs.

  Anyone can recite from the original, but it's not everyone who can make a profound analysis of the underlying principles. This is especially true in academic research. Imitation is always easier than innovation, and yet, Yu Huan has independently developed an entirely new line of thinking and researched an innovative engine. Although they don't know the actual value of this engine at their current level of expertise, if it had no value, Professor Qian wouldn't have allowed Yu Huan to develop it on her own. They understand that much.

  "Can we make it?"

  This remark was made very casually, if it weren't for his keen hearing, he might have missed it.

  Who didn't have dreams of being a teacher, police officer, doctor or scientist when they were young? But as people grow up, many gradually forget about these dreams.

  This society has always had higher expectations and stricter requirements for women, they are also the cream of the crop who got into top universities, if not for some deeply buried persistence in their hearts, would they choose to torture themselves by choosing a major with such a huge gender gap?

  However, the high threshold of academic research often makes them hesitant to take a step forward. Getting into Q University is just a stepping stone; whether they can reach the top depends on many factors, including talent, hard work, mentors, and opportunities, none of which can be missing.

  They had also envied the idle being valued by Professor Qian, but it was just envy, because they didn't have that talent, so they couldn't even be jealous, and it was precisely this way that they muddled through their studies and life, thinking that after graduation, they would find a job, and that's how they compromised.

  Until they were invited to participate in the development, their deeply buried dreams and persistence finally had a tendency to sprout. They wanted to seize this opportunity to try again, and work hard so as not to regret it! And Idle's patient explanation and training helped them sort out that messy knowledge, which was undoubtedly a helpful rain for the young seedling to break through the soil.

  Having been suppressed for too long, their inner desire was too urgent, so when they personally heard the idle talk that they would be brought to become the female scientists of the motherland in the future, their first reaction was to doubt whether they could do it or not.
