The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 143 Anxious

It was late May 1994, and the weather in Chang'an had begun to get hot.

On this night, the whole of Chang'an was full of joy.

Because of the successful test launch of the anti-ship ballistic missile, the whole city rejoiced.

Some excited people came out of their homes and gathered on the street.

The streets were bustling with people, people running around telling each other.

"Yeah! Have you seen the news? Our country used long-range ballistic missiles to sink a large ship in the southern sea! The ship was still sailing on the sea when it was hit! That's awesome! It is said to be the most difficult in the world! Before No country can do this yet!”

"I also saw the news, haha! It was Zhang Zhipeng, our son from Chang'an, who took the lead! It's so embarrassing for the Chinese people! It is said that the elites of some countries turned green when they heard the news!"

"Zhang Zhipeng is definitely the pride of Chang'an people!"

"No! Zhang Zhipeng is the pride of all Chinese people!"

"I just cried when I watched the news! Zhang Zhipeng said so well in his interview! Only when you have a sword in your hand can you protect national security! This country can be so strong and safe precisely because of promising young people like Zhang Zhipeng guarding it! "

People were talking a lot.

Many people started setting off firecrackers and fireworks in the streets.

Fireworks bloom in the sky, especially bright and beautiful!

In fact, not only Chang'an, this night, it can be said that the whole country is celebrating!

Whether in cities or villages, cheering people can be seen everywhere.

The home of Dong Haoming, president of NPU.

Dong Haoming is also watching the seven o'clock news.

In fact, he already knew the news about the successful ballistic missile attack on the aircraft carrier at noon.

Zhao Bingkun called him personally to tell him the good news.

Zhao Bingkun said: "Comrade Haoming, the reason why the anti-ship ballistic missile was successful this time was Comrade Zhang Zhipeng's great contribution! He is the first contributor! For such a person, we must make an exception and promote him!"

"I think your school should set an example first. He is still an associate professor now, right?"

Dong Haoming knew what Zhao Bingkun meant as soon as he heard it.

He quickly smiled and said: "Comrade Zhipeng is the pride of our school and the youngest associate professor in our school. Based on his academic achievements and scientific research results, he is already qualified to be a professor."

"We are also studying this matter and trying to resolve his professorship in the second half of this year."

NPU is qualified to independently appoint professors at the school.

In general colleges and universities, professors must be evaluated centrally by the province.

Zhao Bingkun laughed and scolded: "What kind of research is there on horseback?!"

"Zhang Zhipeng won the first National Science and Technology Award! It's time to break the rules!"

"Hurry up and give him the title of professor when he comes back this time!"

"When he comments on professors, no one will make irresponsible remarks."

Dong Haoming smiled and said: "Since Director Zhao has spoken, let's just do it!"

"We will convene a review meeting in a day or two to get this matter done as soon as possible."

Zhao Bingkun said: "The leaders above have lost their temper, saying that outstanding talents must be promoted out of the ordinary, be bolder, and don't procrastinate!"

"Anyway, you can figure it out yourself."

Dong Haoming knew as soon as he heard this that Zhao Bingkun was also under pressure from above.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made this call to himself.

Dong Haoming smiled apologetically and said, "Boss, it's all our fault. We will pay attention to this in the future."

After Dong Haoming answered the call, he immediately called some people on the school's professional title review committee to inform them and requested a meeting in the afternoon to discuss and resolve Zhang Zhipeng's professor process review work.

However, the afternoon meeting was not very pleasant.

Because some professional title evaluation committee members raised objections and believed that since the evaluation system has been formulated, it should be followed.

Zhang Zhipeng has broken the rules many times, which is tantamount to destroying the system.

Therefore, this time, we cannot compromise immediately due to pressure from above.

The dissenting review member is also a senior academician and can be regarded as an expert in automation.

His name is Ma Chaowei.

When Ma Chaowei said this, some review committee members believed that Zhang Zhipeng was still young, only 27 or 28 years old. Even if according to the regulations, it is reasonable to be rated as a deputy senior for five years before being rated as a senior.

"Young people! You still need to practice more and sharpen your skills!" said several old judges.

Dong Haoming was a little helpless.

Although he is the principal, he can't say anything. If he has any objections, he still needs to be persuaded.

He knew that the few judges who disagreed with the exception were all because they had a little bit of jealousy in their hearts.

Old authorities are most afraid of being challenged by young people.

Because that would harm their interests.

Dong Haoming tried to reason with these people, and he said to Ma Chaowei: "Comrade Chaowei, there are special regulations in the professional title review system."

"According to regulations, as long as you are the leader of major scientific research achievements or have won the national major scientific research achievement award, and have made outstanding contributions to the country, you can be rated as high!"

"This actually doesn't count as breaking the rules!"

"Based on Comrade Zhipeng's ability, he has already been rated high! After all, he even won the highest national science and technology award!"

Ma Chaowei said with a sullen face: "At Robin, even if you are a Nobel Prize winner, you still have to evaluate professors according to the process. We should learn from others!"

Dong Haoming frowned and said, "Isn't it right? Does Comrade Chaowei have any examples of this?"

"According to my understanding, there are quite a few people at Robin's side who were hired as tenured professors at a young age because of their academic achievements!"

Ma Chaowei was a little speechless.

Still, he insisted on discussing it further. We cannot let a person under 30 years old become a full professor so easily!

Because this will make the old comrades feel uncomfortable.

Finally, Dong Haoming suggested that the review committee members vote by a show of hands to see how many people support the exceptional review of Zhang Zhipeng as a professor.

There were 13 people in the review committee, and in the end, 9 people raised their hands and agreed to make an exception and make Zhang Zhipeng a professor!

The minority obeys the majority! This is what settles the matter.

But Dong Haoming felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Because he hoped that the review committee would unanimously raise their hands and pass it, which would be more normal.

Dong Haoming is now watching the 7 o'clock news, and his eyes are filled with tears.

This is really exciting.

The whole scene of the exercise, as well as the words spoken by Zhao Bingkun and Zhang Zhipeng, were touching and exciting.

In particular, the leaders above were even interviewed and highly praised Zhang Zhipeng's contribution and called him a national treasure scientist.

The leaders above also said: Excellent young scientists like this should be given more green light, and those who should make exceptions must make exceptions!

Dong Haoming thought to himself, fortunately I withstood the pressure!

If Ma Chaowei leads the way, it will be troublesome.

……

At this moment, in the Academician Building of the Family Academy of NPU, Ma Chaowei was also watching the seven o'clock news.

As he watched, he felt a little irritable.

Because it's too noisy outside.

It’s not the New Year, why should we set off firecrackers and fireworks?

Ma Chaowei already knows: What these people are celebrating is the success of the ballistic missile attack aircraft carrier exercise!

Nowadays, people all over the city are exaggerating Zhipeng.

Ma Chaowei felt even more depressed.

He is a pretentious person.

He always disliked Zhang Zhipeng.

He always felt that Zhang Zhipeng had robbed him of his attention and resources.

A young man actually asked academicians and senior professors to help him with projects?

This is really a disgrace to authority!

Shouldn't young people help senior scientists by carrying their sedan chairs?

No matter how smart you are, you still have to go through that stage, right?

What makes Ma Chaowei most uncomfortable is that Zhang Zhipeng has done so many national key scientific research projects and cooperated with so many academicians and professors, but he has never even sent an invitation to him! Doesn’t this take yourself too seriously?

Ma Chaowei also hopes that Zhang Zhipeng can ask for his cooperation!

On TV, the news starts at 7 o'clock.

The headline news is that China successfully tested an anti-ship ballistic missile.

Unsurprisingly, Zhang Zhipeng has a lot of scenes, and there are also special interviews. Zhang Zhipeng is marked as the leader of the ballistic missile aircraft carrier project!

Ma Chaowei felt even more sour when he saw the news.

He thought to himself, I am already sixty years old and I have never received such an honor!

God really loves this young man a little too much.

This news is a bit long.

He was shocked when he saw the encouragement given to Zhang Zhipeng by his superiors at the end.

Ma Chaowei thought to himself, no wonder the principal was so proactive in asking for Zhang Zhipeng to be rated as a professor!

It turns out that’s what it means above…

snort! Even if he has relatively great achievements, he should be ranked based on seniority, right?

How can you be given so much honor at such a young age?

Although he still thought this angrily in his heart, he was beginning to feel a little panicked.

He began to reflect on himself, maybe what I did this time was a bit mindless!

Smart people should not go against the general situation. In fact, there is no benefit at all for me to do this. On the contrary, I will make an enemy.

well! This time, my brain really went crazy.

No, no! I have to make up for it, and I can’t let Zhang Zhipeng hate me.

With Ma Chaowei thinking this, he quickly picked up the phone and called Dong Haoming.

The call was quickly answered, and Dong Haoming also picked up the phone.

Ma Chaowei hurriedly said that he did not think deeply in the afternoon and did not have a comprehensive understanding of Comrade Zhang Zhipeng's contribution, so he made a wrong judgment.

He said to Dong Haoming: "Principal, now I realize my mistake, I take back my opinions at the afternoon review meeting."

Dong Haoming smiled, thinking to himself, Ma Chaowei probably changed his mind after watching the seven o'clock news, right?

well! This comrade is capable, but he is a little too jealous of others.

Dong Haoming said: "Comrade Chaowei, it's commendable that you can realize your mistake. It's okay! You can just revise the review comments you wrote to Comrade Zhipeng tomorrow."

In fact, before Ma Chaowei's call came, Dong Haoming had already received several calls from other professional title review committee members.

They all want to revise the review opinions they wrote for Zhang Zhipeng.

But now, they regretted it, and they realized how ridiculous their previous behavior was: relying on one's old age to act in front of Zhang Zhipeng in an attempt to cause trouble was probably the stupidest thing they had ever done in their lives!

……

After Zhang Zhipeng finished his work in the capital, he was a little anxious to rush back to Chang'an.

Because Zhao Min has reached her due date and may give birth at any time.

Although Zhao Min is well taken care of now, her mothers on both sides are by her side, as well as nannies and medical staff.

However, as a husband, it is better to be with his wife when she gives birth.

This is also the husband's responsibility, isn't it?

Therefore, on the night of the successful anti-ship ballistic missile exercise, Zhang Zhipeng took a plane back to Chang'an from the capital.

He got on the plane at 6:7 in the evening and perfectly missed the o'clock news.

He was anxious and wanted to get home as soon as possible.

Because, before boarding the plane, he called his home and his mother said that Zhao Min was already waiting for delivery in the VIP ward of the Provincial People's Hospital.

Moreover, the doctor also said that it was very likely that she would give birth in the next few hours.

Zhang Zhipeng wanted to rush to the hospital as soon as possible to be with his wife.

He was still flying on a military plane, which was almost like flying on a special plane.

The plane flies very fast.

Because everyone knows that Zhang Zhipeng is in a hurry!

In less than an hour and a half, we arrived in Chang'an.

When he got off the plane, he discovered that fireworks were being set off everywhere in the city. Fireworks were blooming in the sky. You are so beautiful.

"What kind of day is it today? There are so many fireworks." Zhang Zhipeng even said something to Gao Yang who came to pick him up.

Gao Yang smiled and said: "Today is a good day!"

"Didn't our ballistic missile attack aircraft carrier exercise be a success?"

"Everyone knows that you are the leader of this project and the pride of Chang'an. Therefore, after reading the news, everyone spontaneously came out to celebrate, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "My fellow villagers really love me."

"Let's go to the hospital quickly!"

Get in the car and go straight to the hospital.

There were not many cars on the road at night, so Gao Yang drove faster.

There were security vehicles in front and behind the car Zhang Zhipeng was sitting in.

"Gao Yang, how is Zhao Min doing now?" Zhang Zhipeng asked.

Gao Yang smiled and said: "The situation is still good."

"Comrade Zhipeng, don't worry. The best doctors in the hospital are already providing services specifically for Comrade Zhao Min."

"If you are really worried, you can use the phone in your car to call and ask."

The car currently assigned to Zhang Zhipeng is a Daben, and it has a car phone.

In fact, in this era, Big Brother has quietly become popular among wealthy people.

However, Zhang Zhipeng has never used Big Brother.

That thing was as bulky as a big brick, and the signal was not good. Zhang Zhipeng really had no interest in using it.

So far, Zhang Zhipeng has only used a pager.

Now, he was sitting in the car, looking at the car phone next to him, and fell into a brief thought: Should he take out the mobile phone?

Zhang Zhipeng only thought about it for a moment, and then gave up the idea.

It is still an analog signal network, and 2G has not yet begun to be built. Small and exquisite push-button mobile phones are not very suitable nowadays.

It's better to wait a little longer.

It won't be too late in a few months.

However, he didn't mind figuring out the 2G network first. After he figured it out, it would be good to meet Ren Zhengfei, the boss of Warwick Company, and cooperate with him.

Zhang Zhipeng still respects Ren Zhengfei quite a lot.

This man is really not bad, he has backbone and ability. In his previous life, he was able to run Warwick Company so well, and he almost single-handedly fought against a group of giant multinational companies from the Robin family. What a man!

Zhang Zhipeng thought this way, and a bright firework suddenly exploded in the night sky in the distance, which made him excited and he woke up.

oh! Lost my mind again.

He just wanted to make a call to the hospital ward.

Zhang Zhipeng quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number in the VIP ward where his wife lived.

The call was answered quickly.

The mother's voice came from the microphone: "Who is it?"

The mother's voice sounded a little low and anxious.

This made Zhang Zhipeng feel nervous: "Mom, I'm Zhipeng, how is Minmin doing now?"

When her mother heard that it was Zhang Zhipeng, her voice changed instantly: "Zhipeng, where are you? Can you come back tonight?"

Zhang Zhipeng said quickly: "Mom, I'm on my way."

"We'll be at the hospital soon."

"Just tell me, what's going on now?"

Gao Yang, who was driving in front, heard something was wrong with Zhang Zhipeng's voice, and he immediately started to accelerate.

The speed was actually over 120 an hour just now.

Now it has quickly reached over 150.

The security car in front also cooperated very well and immediately started to accelerate.

The mother said to Zhang Zhipeng: "Minmin has been pushed to the delivery room."

"Originally she insisted on having a natural birth."

"However, the doctor said it's not good. The fetal position is not correct. Now we need to hurry up and change it to a caesarean section."

"Oh! I was in the delivery room just now. I felt very uncomfortable when I heard Minmin was in such pain."

Zhang Zhipeng hurriedly said: "Then hurry up and sign the contract to have a caesarean section!"

"Safety comes first!"

"It is indeed a little better for the child to have a natural birth."

"But, you have to persevere under normal circumstances!"

The mother said: "It has been changed, and now I am undergoing surgery."

"I can't bear to see it, isn't it just running back?"

Zhang Zhipeng was a little panicked at the moment.

He prayed in his heart that nothing would happen! Don't let anything happen!

He thought again, no matter what, it was in the provincial hospital! There shouldn't be any problems!

"Mom, it's okay! Don't worry too much!"

"Mother and child will definitely be safe!"

"I'll be at the hospital soon, so I won't tell you."

Zhang Zhipeng put down the phone and saw that the car was already heading towards the city.

In front of the security car at the front, a J car appeared to clear the way.

I guess this was arranged by Gao Yang just now.

The car entered the city, the light turned green all the way, and we arrived directly at the Provincial Hospital.

The car drove into the inpatient department behind the provincial hospital.

Zhang Zhipeng got off the car and ran upstairs to the hospital.
