Li Geng has been in charge of UCAS for many years, and at the same time, as the earliest group of computer experts since the founding of the Celestial Empire, he has discovered and cultivated countless talents.

The first time I heard Xu Ziling's name was from Xie Aiguo, the current president of HKUST. At that time, it happened to be during Xu Ziling's summer vacation, and Yang Haisheng greeted Xie Aiguo to borrow the material laboratory. When the two were talking on the phone, Li Geng happened to be invited by Xie Aiguo to discuss some things about the new students. The two of them said that Yang Haisheng would borrow a laboratory for an industry person they were not familiar with, which was a little strange, so they casually checked Xu Ziling's identity.

The results were shocking to them, Xu Ziling was still a high school graduate who had just taken the college entrance examination. Yang Haisheng is not a reckless person, since he has spoken, he naturally has his reasons. Although they wanted to know what kind of ability this Xu Ziling had to make Yang Haisheng open his mouth to borrow the laboratory. You must know that the materials laboratory of the University of Science and Technology is one of the most important scientific research laboratories in the Celestial Empire, and those who can enter, no matter how knowledgeable and talented they are, which one of the eighteen generations of their ancestors will be allowed to enter?

But they didn't investigate Xu Ziling in depth, they just planned to continue to pay attention to him and see where he was worthy of Yang Haisheng's affection. After all, Yang Haisheng, who has been in a military family for several generations, is definitely more familiar with the secrecy regulations than them, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to let him open this mouth.

During this period, they learned that Xu Ziling applied for the University of Science and Technology, and they made a decision at that time, no matter how good the conditions proposed by other schools to attract Xu Ziling, the University of Science and Technology would put forward better conditions, and pull Xu Ziling to the University of Science and Technology at all costs.

What is surprising is that before the admissions staff of HKUST started to do work, news came from Yang Haisheng: Xu Ziling had already decided to study at HKUST! At the same time, Yang Haisheng passed on some dusty information from Xu Ziling's father and grandfather to the school, many of which were dictated by Yang Haisheng's father, and there was no record in the archives at all. This made Li Geng and Xie Aiguo know the glorious deeds of Xu Ziling's family.

I went to school, but I didn't go to the classroom once. But he plunged headlong into the laboratory. I just completed the aircraft carrier steel project with Li Litian, and in the blink of an eye, I got a sniper rifle again. During this period, he did not conduct any formal military training, and he would actually kill a national A-class wanted criminal with one shot, and it was at a distance of nearly 800 meters. You must know that this achievement of Lu Dao can be regarded as a rare existence in the army of the Celestial Empire.

Like everyone else, the more they got to know him, the more confused they became. Xu Ziling said that he wanted to get a sniper rifle, and at that time they all looked at it with an encouraging attitude, and explained that Li Litian and Huang Jiancheng could give him unlimited support in terms of funds and manpower. After all, this aspect is a long-term shortage in the Celestial Empire, and it is not too difficult to redesign and develop a large-caliber sniper rifle like the Ninety-Five type firearm. They don't have too much hope for this, they just feel that Xu Ziling is definitely a genius in this area, and it is good to let him experiment and increase his experience, after all, geniuses are rare and cannot be treated like ordinary students.

With the attention of the two great gods, every experimental step of Xu Ziling will naturally be reported to them. The last time Li Geng saw Xu Ziling here, he recognized him. Adhere to the principle in big things, and be wild and uninhibited in small things, Li Geng tested him for the first time when he faced a real person, and gave Xu Ziling such an evaluation.

Ask him what he is doing, and he will answer vigilantly by abiding by the rules of confidentiality; Respecting himself in his heart and in small details, he is an ordinary old man on the surface, but in words he communicates like an old friend, scattering smoke and sitting on the ground without minding the dirt underground. During the period, I deliberately talked about some professional knowledge, but it was a little difficult for me to deal with. All kinds of things made Li Geng more and more satisfied with Xu Ziling, and when he separated from Xu Ziling, he also went straight to Xie Aiguo, and bluntly asserted: "This child will definitely shine in the future, and now is just the beginning." ”

More than a month after the meeting, two sniper rifles made their debut. When Li Geng got the confirmed news, he was stunned. With the strength of the whole country, how many years of development, and how much effort countless weapons research and development personnel of the older generation have not been able to accomplish, it was actually found out by a young man who had just entered college, which took only two months. Was it an accident? Is it lucky? Or strength?

After reading the detailed experimental records, I dared to believe that this was the real ability of others. With such speed and such ability, what embarrassment does those who are engaged in weapon research and development be? No wonder when Xu Ziling entered the school, Yang Haisheng explained that Xu Ziling's identity needed to be kept absolutely confidential, and only his ordinary files were left in the school, and the others were set up by him with his own authority, and the highest level of secrets he could set up. At that time, Li Geng still felt a little unimpressed, thinking that Yang Haisheng was too careful. As soon as the sniper rifle came out, he knew that Yang Haisheng saw Xu Ziling more accurately than him, and he also admired his precautions.

Such a demonic genius, if his identity is leaked and he is known by some powerful forces, he will definitely try his best to win him over, and if he can't win him over, he will definitely try his best to destroy him in the spirit of thinking that others who can't get it can't get it. If such a thing really happens, it will not only be a personal problem, it can be said that it is the loss of the entire country, how can the Celestial Empire afford to lose?

As soon as the gun was good, Xu Ziling was seconded by the Central Military Commission, and Li Geng also made a request to Xie Aiguo for the first time since his retirement: It is necessary to ensure that Xu Ziling's identity is not revealed, and all those who know about the existence of Xu Ziling must sign a confidentiality contract. For this reason, he also personally talked with Li Litian and Huang Jiancheng about the issue of protecting Xu Ziling's identity.

According to this, in less than a month, as soon as Xu Ziling returned to school, he put forward the idea of armed helicopters. The complete engine drawings made a group of old experts in the aerospace department sigh to themselves, and they all frankly said that once this idea is realized, the low-altitude field of the Celestial Empire will no longer be afraid of any threat. Such an evaluation is enough to shock Li Geng again. At that time, I thought: Such a talent can be regarded as a once-in-a-millennium encounter, and it should be fortunate that he was born in the Celestial Empire. I also remembered what Xu Ziling said from someone else: "The national strength is strong, and the people have confidence, I still think that when I go to the West or island countries, I will miss the order for me because I didn't catch the train." Maybe one day, his wish will come true.

looked at the young man in front of him, sometimes flamboyant, like a sharp knife; sometimes restrained, like a tireless scholar; Sometimes lazy, like the most ordinary boy next door. The more you look at it, the more it looks like a fog, making it impossible to see clearly.

Li Geng smiled: "I have heard what you said: the national strength is strong, and the people have confidence." This sentence is indeed true, not only economically, but also militarily, can be regarded as truly strong, so that our people will have stronger confidence wherever they go. Now that the country's economy is developing rapidly, the military really needs talents like you, we are old, and we can only hope that you can make better achievements than our generation. ”

In some ways, Xu Ziling is an angry young man. Since childhood, I have been paying attention to military-related news and materials, and I naturally know the current situation of the Dao Celestial Empire in the international community. "yes. There's still a lot to do. I'm just trying to do my part. When will we be able to set foot on a country like an island country with pride, we can be regarded as making a little achievement. But you can't be presumptuous, I look at you as old as you are still old and strong. Don't we juniors need your teachings? Just like me, it's a great benefit to listen to your old words. ”

No matter how demonic genius is, life experience is always a shortcoming. After chatting with Li Geng so much, Xu Ziling did learn a lot of things. Cognition of people, things, and life. In the chat, the old man said it inadvertently, which made Xu Ziling more aware of how to behave and do things.

Li Geng is now a very ordinary old man, if it weren't for his military uniform, Xu Ziling would definitely think that he was just an ordinary retired old man by a small pond in the countryside, and he didn't have the majesty of being in a high position at all. After listening to Xu Ziling's evaluation of him, he shook his head disapprenously: "You young man can also pat on the back, you are old when you are old." Sometimes I can't do anything if I want to. After speaking, looking at Xu Ziling as if he was about to refute his words, he smiled and waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, but talk about how your project is going?"

Xu Ziling said that those words were indeed in his heart, but seeing that the old man didn't want to talk about this topic, he stopped. Seeing that he asked about the progress of his project, he said truthfully: "With the overtime of scientific researchers, all the materials have been successfully developed." Starting tomorrow, we will start placing orders with various enterprises. The Department of Aerospace is also doing some other preparatory work, and the materials needed for my new radar have not yet been made, but with a breakthrough today, I believe it will not be long before it can be successful. Overall, everything went smoothly. You're always waiting for us to report the good news. ”

"Oh? So fast? I haven't paid attention to you guys these days, but I didn't expect the materials to be ready. "Li Geng didn't pay attention to the laboratory for a few days because of other things. Hearing Xu Ziling say that the materials were all out, he was very surprised by their speed.

Xu Ziling smiled: "Hmm." This is thanks to a group of laboratory researchers, many of whom have been sleeping in the laboratory at night these days. All of them worked hard and pushed the scheduled time forward by several days. ”
