Chapter 119: Energetic Wang Qiang, an invitation from Wine Spring!

Tonight was another familiar celebration banquet, but compared to the excitement last time, Li Mingyang's mind was not on the banquet itself.

Li Mingyang's status in the country had already reached the top echelon, so even another honor or reward would have little impact on him.

Now his thoughts were focused more on what the support-teaching teacher had promised him before.

That's something the support-teaching teacher promised me shortly after I arrived, and it's been this long already—surely it's not still unresolved?

Originally, when he was busy with engine matters, Li Mingyang simply had no time to consider these things, so he never gave them any thought.

But after the previous experience, Li Mingyang knew that once this celebration banquet ended, his sixth-generation aircraft R&D trip would be due to finish.

He also received news that his base over there had been completely completed, just waiting for him to return to officially announce its operation.

Everything had fallen into place, so Li Mingyang's schedule ahead would be very busy.

So Li Mingyang needed to quickly confirm whether his own teacher had managed to settle the matter he had long been hoping for.

It seemed he had already seen Li Mingyang's thoughts, as Wang Qiang beside him couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You little brat, what's up? Do you really think I, your teacher, would still deceive you?"

"Since I promised you back then, brat, even if I have to go all out, this old face of mine will definitely fulfill the conditions I agreed to."

Wang Qiang's heart was truly delighted; his little disciple had always been steady in performance, and coupled with an innate talent that was truly astonishing.

From enrollment to now, only a few years had passed, and unnoticed, this little disciple had already reached his current status.

If the earlier research on the Water Molecule Bomber merely let Li Mingyang catch up to Wang Qiang, then adding this sixth-generation aircraft research afterward...

Wang Qiang's heart already knew clearly that he had actually been surpassed by his own young, excessive little disciple.

Perhaps the various impressions Li Mingyang had given Wang Qiang before were too deeply ingrained, so he often subconsciously regarded Li Mingyang as a mature and steady scientist.

So now, suddenly seeing this urgent side of Li Mingyang, seeing him lose his composure all at once.

The little old man's heart was overjoyed; this strong sense of contrast really made it hard for people to look away.

"Here you go; this is something I, the old man, went to great trouble to obtain. Recently there happens to be a major project at the Wine Spring Launch Center."

"Originally I, the old man, was a bit worried whether you could make it there before their project started, but now it's fine."

"I really didn't expect you, brat, to move this fast; there are still almost two months before the project officially begins."

"It works out that you still have time to handle your base affairs, and then you can conveniently go along and learn together."

"However, old man me must first tell you that although this project is also a large one, it's already a routine item."

"It's not an innovative research project like the Water Molecule Bomber or the sixth-generation aircraft right before you; in the past you could only truly follow along and learn."

"But the advantages are also obvious, even though this thing hasn't reached world-leading levels like the Water Molecule Bomber and the sixth-generation aircraft."

"But our country's aerospace industry has always been at world-leading standards, so even if this is merely a routine project, it's enough for you, brat, to learn from."

"Moreover, being a routine project, it should better suit your study habits and requirements, and all things considered, it shouldn't take more than half a year to complete."

"Such a short time shouldn't interfere too much with your own plans, brat."

One must say that Wang Qiang truly cared a great deal for Li Mingyang, his closed-door disciple, even though Li Mingyang had only mentioned it casually at first.

But Wang Qiang not only got it done, he did so with great care; it's clear this project was truly selected after much screening, and he used many connections to squeeze Li Mingyang in.

Although Li Mingyang indeed has authority in aircraft engines, astronautics and aviation, though often lumped together, are really not the same thing.

As they say, crossing industries is like crossing mountains; Li Mingyang wanted to participate in such a project midway, and even wanted to have very high clearance.

After all, Li Mingyang had studied in the past, and he wasn't like ordinary researchers who only handle a small part of a project.

To truly learn something, he must possess extremely high clearance, and Li Mingyang needs the right to observe everything.

And the reason this gilded invitation only reached Li Ming's hands now is not simply because the old man before him wanted to give Li Mingyang a surprise.

Rather, carrying this out really involves considerable difficulty; it's quite possible that only in these past few days did they barely achieve this goal.

"Thank you, teacher; I will definitely not waste this opportunity, and will study hard alongside the seniors there."

Looking at this exquisite invitation before him, Li Mingyang couldn't help but feel his heart warm; if receiving the Golden Finger was his greatest fortune in life,

then meeting a teacher like Wang Qiang is absolutely his greatest luck besides the Golden Finger.

Cleary just an ordinary teacher-student relationship, yet in Wang Qiang's presence, Li Mingyang genuinely felt that familial bond!

Just as elders in a family can spare no expense for the younger generation, for Li Mingyang's future as a student, Wang Qiang can also proactively sacrifice many things.

"Haha, I didn't feel it before, but now seeing you, I really feel I'm getting old, teacher!"

"They say the future world belongs to you youngsters; although I feel this old man of mine no longer has much use, at least I can still exert some residual heat."

"I can use my last ounce of strength to give you a push; as for how far you'll ultimately go, for teachers like me I truly can't help much anymore!"

"But I've always known you, brat, are a big-hearted fellow; I can even sense that your ambitions aren't limited to this tiny planet."

"But regarding those things, just as the teacher said before, I really can't help much anymore."

"However, the teacher expresses great anticipation, looking forward to the day you, brat, achieve fame and fulfill your ideals!"

Saying this, Wang Qiang paused, and the look of anticipation in his eyes was something Li Mingyang had never seen before.

"If that day of achieving the goal truly comes, if that day arrives, this old man's body will still be fairly robust."

"You little stinker, remember to leave this old man a ticket to space; I've spent a lifetime making aircraft, yet still haven't flown off this tiny planet."

"Although this is a limitation and helplessness of the era, sometimes thinking about it really makes me feel unwilling!"

Hearing this, Li Mingyang also suddenly had an epiphany: right, although the teacher mainly researches fighter jets, since he researches aircraft!

Who doesn't have a dream of racing toward the stars and oceans in their heart?

When one lifts their head to gaze at this cloudless starry sky overhead, humanity, while fully feeling its own insignificance, cannot help but yearn for this splendid starry sky.

"Of course! If I truly achieve results, I will definitely notify the teacher right away!"
