Chapter 207 The Vast Difference Between Siblings
"Xiao Heng, do you know what the success of this project means? It will be a groundbreaking step in the history of my country's aerospace and missile development."

Qin Zhiheng nodded, "I know, I know, because I saw it launch successfully with my own eyes."

Qin Senru was stunned.

"Moreover, over the years, I have personally witnessed how our country's aerospace and missile programs have developed rapidly, leaping to become a major technological power and gaining a place in the international arena. No country dares to underestimate us."

"Dad, shall I take you to see it?"

Xu Qingling pondered for a moment, then waved again. Immediately, all the successful moments of my country's aerospace missile development over the years were replayed like a video.

From the successful test launch of the first missile developed by Qin Senru...

Qin Senru watched intently, and at that moment, he seemed to realize something, but he didn't say anything.

He looked at it so intently and attentively, like a father gazing at his child with loving and focused eyes.

Before he knew it, his eyes reddened and filled with tears.

But there was a smile on his lips.

It's like a worried child, who, with his support, learns to walk secretly, while he can't see it and while he's still full of worries, has already learned to walk steadily and even run very fast.

"Good, good, really good." Tears streamed down Qin Senru's face as he nodded repeatedly.

Those were tears of joy.

Qin Zhiheng grasped his father's hand. "Dad, you've seen it. This prosperous era is just as you wished."

The efforts, sacrifices, and hopes of countless predecessors, even if they cannot see them, are still being carried out by countless successors who, standing on the foundation laid by their predecessors, continue to exert their efforts to strengthen the nation and make this prosperous era what everyone desires.

These words, like a sharp sword, shattered the last layer of fog in Qin Senru's eyes.

He saw that his son, who had once been a young man in his eyes, was now an old man, much older than himself, frail and unsteady.

"Xiao Heng, you..."

Qin Senru was stunned. Then he looked up and saw Mingzhen and the other people at the experimental base outside, who were already crying. He looked around at them one by one.

Then he looked at the experimental base in front of him.

It's spacious, bright, and equipped with advanced facilities—it's completely different from what it was back then.

He tried hard to remember.

Deeply buried memories were revealed at this moment.

Yes, a long time has passed.

His daughter passed away, and his wife left him. His last memory was of collapsing, unable to hold on any longer.

and so……

"Xiao Heng, am I dead?"

What year is it now?

Qin Zhiheng grasped his father's trembling hand, "Dad, it's 2024 now."

It's 2024 already. More than 30 years have passed.

……

With Qin Lao regaining consciousness, the strange events that had occurred before were explained.

Old Qin's consciousness had previously been somewhere between semi-conscious and unconscious.

When he was not in a clear-headed state, he would immerse himself in the research and development of this area, repeating the same process over and over again.

When he is semi-conscious, due to the distortion of time and space, he will see the research and development of Mingzhen and others.

You'll find yourself getting involved without even realizing it.

When he sees someone make a basic mistake, especially his disciple Mingzhen, he will unconsciously become irritable and scold them.

He would unconsciously modify some experimental data if it was wrong.

When I see new, advanced instruments, I'd like to try them out.

Qin Senru was now fully awake and realized that his actions had caused trouble for everyone.

"No worries, no worries."

Actually, upon learning that it was Elder Qin, they felt honored and felt a sense of kinship. After all, there were people of all ages among them.

The older generation, such as Mingzhen, had some contact with Qin Lao before, even if not a lot, but they had seen Qin Lao's demeanor.

Some young people, however, have only seen it in books or documentaries.

But Professor Qin is practically an idol to all scientists.

How could they not be excited and happy to see Elder Qin now?

For the next day and night, everyone at the experimental base put down their work and enthusiastically chatted with Elder Qin.

Some discussed their current research and development projects, some discussed the current state and future development of my country's aerospace missiles, and some expressed their admiration for Professor Qin...

A mere day and night was hardly enough time to spend with Old Qin.

If possible, they hope that Old Qin's soul will live on forever.

But looking at Qin Lao's increasingly thin soul, they knew that no matter how reluctant they were, they had to let Qin Lao go.

"Director Xu, can Elder Qin leave now?" Bian Dong asked.

"let me try."

Xu Qingling sensed that Qin Senru, who had been awakened, was able to leave and go to the underworld to be reincarnated.

But I didn't expect...

Xu Qingling opened her eyes again, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Not yet."

"No, how could it not work?" Everyone was puzzled.

Although they were reluctant to part with him, they all hoped that Elder Qin could leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he stayed any longer, he might be destroyed, which was something they did not want to see.

"There's only one reason why it won't work: his obsession hasn't been eliminated," Xu Qingling explained.

"Hmm? It's already awakened, and the research and development project is completed, so why hasn't this obsession been eliminated yet?"

This was indeed Qin Senru's obsession before, but...

Xu Qingling said meaningfully, "Who says that a person only has one obsession?"

"So, Elder Qin still has unresolved obsessions?"

"what is that?"

All eyes fell on Old Qin. Qin Senru paused slightly, as if remembering something, and remained silent for a moment.

Qin Zhiheng, however, seemed to have figured something out.

She sighed softly, "The only things Father still clings to are Mother and Sister."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped slightly, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Qin Senru and Lu Xuan have a son and a daughter. Qin Zhiheng also has an older sister, Qin Zhilan, who is two years older than him.

She was a very beautiful girl.

only……

Qin Zhilan suffers from intellectual disability and can barely take care of herself.

The older sister has an intellectual disability, while the younger brother is a genius, a stark contrast.

Actually, according to normal standards, Qin Zhilan should also be a genius like her younger brother.

Because their parents, Qin Senru and Lu Xuan, are both highly intelligent geniuses.

Qin Senru goes without saying. Lu Xuan was studying abroad at the time and earned a doctorate and two degrees.

For her husband's sake, she resolutely gave up everything she had built abroad and returned to China with him to support his career.

Qin Zhilan suffers from intellectual disability because she had a genetic defect even before she was born, that is, while she was still in her mother's womb.

The origin of this defect lies with Qin Senru.

During that period, the project he was researching involved radiation, which directly caused gene mutations.

By the time they discovered it, Qin Zhilan had already been born.
