All the Way North

Sometimes, it takes a truly audacious person to do something truly monumental.

The research team was thrown a curveball. The aloof perfectionist Meng Xinggao, the capricious rich kid Qian Yu, the violent little girl Chen Mo, the battle-hardened big sister Zhong Xin, and several other young researchers just starting out challenged a group of white-haired experts with years of experience under their belts.

The gap in their abilities was obvious, yet the story took one unexpected turn after another. What kind of nerve did these barely-grown youngsters have, playing a zero-sum game like aerospace engineering? But while the veteran experts waited in terror for the disastrous fallout from this international joke, the catastrophe they expected never came. Instead, world-class problems that had plagued the aerospace industry were solved one by one: intersatellite links, time-and-frequency switching, domestic production of aerospace-grade chips, and miniaturization of hydrogen masers.

Don't laugh at the young for their audacity. By the time you finish laughing, the world stage will already belong to them.
