Genius is just the threshold for me!

Chapter 53 Departure from the Panda Base

"Lin Dong, over here!"

Lin Dong had just come downstairs.

Suddenly, a familiar shout came from the direction of the main gate of the residential area.

Lin Dong looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Xu Ziming and Xu Qingling already waiting.

Xu Ziming was dressed in outdoor sportswear, carrying a set of fishing gear, and with a large backpack hanging from each of his arms, making him look like a superhuman porter.

Xu Qingling was empty-handed, wearing a light green sports jacket, light gray sports pants, and Arc'teryx outdoor sports shoes. Her waist-length hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck.

"Why did you bring a suitcase?"

Xu Qingling jogged over, her clothes billowing in the air, adding a touch of fragrance to the morning breeze. She casually reached out and pulled Lin Dong's suitcase, saying, "Let's go out the gate first, then my dad and the others will go get the car. Qingyao and Li Tao should be arriving soon."

Uncle Xu.

Lin Dong politely greeted Xu Ziming, then explained to Xu Qingling, "I brought a multi-rotor drone with me in the suitcase; it will make the photos and videos even better."

"A multi-rotor drone...the kind that can hover in the air and take aerial photos?" Xu Qingling's eyes lit up immediately.

As a family member of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) and having grown up in the CAC family residential area, her understanding of the concepts and functions of various aircraft is practically common sense. As soon as Lin Dong mentioned multi-rotor drones, images of them immediately came to mind.

"Yes." Lin Dong nodded: "We can hover and take aerial photos."

"Wow!"

Xu Qingling cheered, "Can this be used to photograph panda cubs?"

"Drones are not allowed at the panda base."

Lin Dong reminded them that their itinerary for today was to first visit the special national treasures of Sichuan, and then go on a picnic in the suburbs.

"Then let's use a drone to take pictures during our picnic."

Xu Qingling remained excited: "I've never taken a photo with a drone before..."

"..."

Xu Ziming watched his daughter chatting and laughing with Lin Dong and helping him carry things, and then looked at himself, looking like a superhero covered in backpacks, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

"Let's get out of here quickly and leave as soon as possible."

Xu Ziming took a deep breath and urged the two of them on, while glancing at the suitcase that Xu Qingling was pulling.

Last night, he received the equipment test order from Wang Xingguo and realized that it contained not only an aerial photography drone, but also a laser weapon drone.

Xu Ziming could only grumble that Wang Xingguo, the chief engineer, hadn't stopped Lin Dong from bringing the equipment and had even helped him fill out the compliance procedures for the equipment testing. He thought the kid's lawless behavior was entirely due to being spoiled, and it was no wonder they had to suffer the consequences.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go to the underground parking lot to get the car."

Soon, the three arrived at the main gate of the residential area. Xu Ziming put his backpack and equipment on the steps and went down the stairs next to it to the underground parking garage.

"Qingling! Lin Dong?"

Xu Ziming had just gone downstairs when suddenly a shout rang out from not far away.

"You're here so early?"

Huang Qingyao quickly walked to the two of them and asked happily, "Where's Uncle Xu?"

"Go get out and drive."

Xu Qingling smiled and pointed to the underground parking garage: "Where's Uncle Huang?"

"He went to get his car and told me to come and wait here."

Huang Qingyao also shrugged, empty-handed. Unlike Xu Qingling, who had waist-length hair since childhood, she had cut her hair short to shoulder length. With her bright eyes and prominent features, she looked very lively and clever.

After waiting for a while, everyone else arrived one after another.

Aside from Li Tao and Zhang Zihua, Lin Dong didn't know the other three classmates who were in the same class as Huang Qingyao.

Among them were two girls, one of whom was wearing a light pink tracksuit and had her hair tied in pigtails, giving off a cute vibe. Huang Qingyao introduced her as Su Yue.

A girl wearing a light blue tracksuit, with her hair in a ponytail, had a gentle and refined appearance, which Huang Qingling introduced as Jiang Caiping.

Finally, there was a boy dressed in a black tracksuit, with his hair and clothes neatly styled, and whose eyes seemed to naturally possess a scrutinizing quality. Huang Qingyao introduced him as Zhang Xuebin.

Lin Dong took another look at this person's eyes and demeanor.

Because in fifth grade, students haven't experienced much personal growth yet, and their temperament often reflects their family environment.

If he wasn't mistaken, this guy was most likely a family member of someone in the compliance department.

Although Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) is mainly engaged in aircraft research and development and manufacturing, it is divided into several departments.

The core department is the Overall Design and R&D Department, which is responsible for the top-level R&D work of various fighter jets, including overall design, aerodynamic layout, and avionics systems.

The Production and R&D Department is responsible for product manufacturing and technology development, and for implementing the overall design department's plans.

The Manufacturing and Assembly Department is responsible for specific manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, process assembly, and testing.

The Flight Test Integration Department is responsible for the final verification flight test of combat skills to ensure flight safety and performance compliance.

And finally, there are the logistics department, the supervision and compliance department, etc.

Among the adults Lin Dong came into contact with, Comrade Lin Weiliang, as well as Wang Xingguo and Chen Jianhua, were all in the General Design Department. However, Wang Xingguo has now been promoted to become the chief engineer of all projects and departments.

Xu Ziming is one of the core personnel in the R&D department and the final assembly department, Zhang Xiali is in the logistics department, and Zhou Xiaoyan is in the general affairs department.

As for the Oversight and Compliance Department, it is responsible for auditing project funds and overseeing various matters. It is a relatively independent department, and normally there is little contact with them.

beep-

A group of people had just finished being introduced to each other.

At that moment, a few car horns sounded at the intersection next to the pedestrian and vehicle separation point, and then two SUVs drove out.

"Get in the car."

Xu Ziming and Huang Qingyao's father, Huang Xinhua, parked the car. The two got out and put their suitcases and backpacks into the trunk. They then greeted Lin Dong and the others, saying, "Four people can sit in one car. Find your own seats."

Xu Qingling and Huang Qingyao, who had organized the gathering, exchanged a glance. Seeing that the atmosphere among the newly acquainted group was still somewhat awkward, they tacitly led their classmates to their fathers' cars.

The giant panda base is located in Chenghua District of Chengdu, about 15 kilometers away from the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) base.

Before Lin Dong's rebirth, driving along the road often took more than 20 minutes or even half an hour due to various traffic lights and intersections.

But at that time, Chengdu was not yet a new first-tier city ten years later. The population density and traffic flow were not that high, and the road was smooth. Xu Ziming and Huang Xinhua arrived at their destination in just fifteen minutes.

"Wow! I'm back, giant panda!"

As soon as Xu Ziming parked his car in the parking lot, Xu Qingling was the first to run out of the car, took out a bright red Nikon D3100 from her backpack, and shouted happily, "I must take some super cute photos of giant pandas today!"

talking.

Xu Qingling raised her camera, aimed it at Lin Dong who had just gotten off the bus, and snapped a photo.

"..."

Lin Dong rolled his eyes: "Are you treating me like a panda?"

"Yes, they are all national treasures."

Xu Qingling said happily, handing the camera to Lin Dong and pulling him into the base. At the same time, she called out to Li Tao, Huang Qingyao and the others, "Hurry up and go in, it will get crowded if we go too late, and we might not be able to see the panda cubs."
