"These materials are not available to purchase outside; I got them from the television factory on the Outskirts of the Capital. After bringing these materials over, due to a lack of tools, we borrowed so from the county’s steel mill, and we created the first color television at the steel mill."
"Only ten years old? Yu Cheng, are you sure you followed the kid from start to finish when she was making the color TV? Can you be certain that she completed the television on her own?" Zhang Li asked, very surprised.
He truly found it hard to believe that a technical problem, which had stumped our country for so many years, had finally been solved by a girl under ten years old; this was indeed astounding.
"Yes, just ten years old. When she was making the color TV, I was by her side the whole ti and I can confirm that she finished it independently," Yu Cheng nodded, with pride in his eyes.
"So, what materials did she ask you to bring?" Zhang Li followed up.
Yu Cheng: "It’s just so materials required for making black-and-white TVs, which I bought at our Capital City’s television factory; they are quite easy to find."
Zhang Li: "Okay, I got it, thank you. Oh, Yu Cheng, could you tell where the little Jiang Mianmian, the Little Prodigy, lives?"
After Yu Cheng gave the detailed address, he asked, "Are you guys going there?"
"Yes! This technology is very important to our country. Now that this little girl has managed to do it, we must of course go imdiately and learn about this technology from her," Zhang Li explained.
Upon hearing this, Yu Cheng frowned slightly; Uncle Jiang and his family were genuinely ordinary people. If these technicians suddenly showed up, it might startle them, right?
Especially since Mianmian is so young; being surrounded and questioned by these people would likely make her sowhat nervous and afraid.
He was just thinking about going along when Elder Yu said, "Xiao Cheng, don’t worry, I will accompany them to Mianmian’s ho."
Since he was the one who brought up the matter, he naturally could not just leave things to the others; the elder planned to set out with the technicians to visit Jiang Mianmian’s ho.
"Okay," Yu Cheng felt relieved as soon as he heard this.
He had to return to the base for continued training tomorrow; he had already delayed for a week, and if he asked for more leave, the instructor probably wouldn’t agree.
After Zhang Li learned this, he imdiately used the Yu Family’s telephone to call his superiors, requesting that two airplanes be directly commandeered to take them to find Jiang Mianmian.
Elder Yu also took his staff soldier, boarded the specially commandeered helicopter, and flew straight to the small town where Jiang Mianmian was.
anwhile, the Jiang Mianmian family was still unaware of what they were about to face.
In the past few days, Mianmian had been busy making the TV and had barely done any of her winter vacation howork. After Yu Cheng left, she returned to her room to do howork seriously with Li Lan, while Wang Li read comic books with great interest at the side.
Jiang Changhai, worried that the children would get cold hands while doing howork, went specially to the storehouse to gather so coal chunks, planning to return and heat up the room.
He was just carrying the coal chunks into the house when he heard the sound of a car in the alley outside.
Leaving the coal chunks, Jiang Changhai curiously went out to have a look, as their area rarely had any vehicular traffic.
As soon as he opened the front door, he saw two jeeps parked right in front of his house.
As soon as the cars ca to a stop, two young n got off the first jeep and briskly walked towards him, asking with expectation, "Comrade, hello, is this Jiang Mianmian’s ho?"
