Now that it was finally their turn to speak, Zhang Li promptly turned to Jiang Mianmian with a friendly smile and said, "Comrade Jiang Mianmian, here’s the thing, Uncle wants to ask, how did you come to make a color television?"
"Uncle, actually, I was able to make the color television just by good luck."
Jiang Mianmian first modestly replied, and then went on to explain in detail: "I found it too monotonous that the TV at home only had black and white, so I started thinking about whether I could turn them into color. However, we couldn’t find any information about color televisions around here, so I asked Brother Yu to bring me some. After reading over all the information about color televisions in the books Brother Yu brought over, I extracted everything, integrated it, and summed up the patterns, figuring out the differences between color and black and white televisions. Then I did experiments with the materials Brother Yu brought, and somehow I managed to succeed by mistake."
After finishing, she scratched her fair little face, a bit shy and proud as she added, "I didn’t expect to really be able to make a color TV myself, I was just playing around at first."
Patting herself on the back, her acting was so good!
Zhang Li and the two research personnel: ...
They were all stunned: This, this child solved a technical problem that their research department hadn’t been able to conquer for several years so easily?
But they had no doubt she was lying, after all, Jiang Mianmian was just a little over nine years old and hadn’t been in school for even two years.
They had come in a hurry, and she couldn’t possibly have concocted such a well-founded reason to deceive them in such a short time, especially since she had no reason to lie, did she?
So, what she said must all be true.
However, being intelligent and talented was also true!
Therefore, the three of them looked at Jiang Mianmian and liked her even more the more they looked.
On their way here, they had already learned about Jiang Mianmian’s prodigious path from Elder Yu and knew that the "mistake" she mentioned was largely achieved through her super-high IQ.
They had already asked Yu Cheng what information he had brought for Jiang Mianmian. As researchers specialized in this technology, they had seen all the domestically available materials on color televisions.
So they knew how scant the relevant information in those materials was.
Because foreigners have always kept such technologies tightly sealed and would not let developing countries like theirs know about them.
Therefore, the fact that Jiang Mianmian could come up with the color television based on that fragmented information is largely due to her smart brain.
Zhang Li praised her: "Comrade Mianmian, you are being too modest. Without the preliminary information you read and your intelligent mind, no amount of trial and error would have led to the creation of a color television."
The two research personnel were even more gratified: "At such a young age, you were able to rely on your own talent and effort to make a color television. In the future, on the path of scientific research, you will surely make greater contributions and add bricks to the great cause of our motherland’s scientific research!"
"Uncles, you flatter me too much," said Jiang Mianmian with some embarrassment.
Being praised by the great researchers of this technology, she felt somewhat undeserving!
Because this technology wasn’t really developed by her, it existed abroad, and the system provided her with very comprehensive materials and a lab.
