Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat in the corner of the jewelry store, holding a cup of cold coffee in her hand, staring out the window.

Her eyes passed through the busy streets, as if she was looking for something, or as if she was avoiding something. Her fingers unconsciously slid across the edge of the cup, leaving a series of blurred traces.

"Wanwan, are you daydreaming again?" Lao Li, an old friend in the store, came over and patted her on the shoulder.

Zhou Wanwan came back to her senses and forced a smile: "Nothing, just a little tired."

Old Li shook his head and sighed: "You always work so hard. But the jewelry you designed is really eye-catching."

Zhou Wanwan lowered her head, looked at the coffee cup in her hand, and said softly: "I just want to make something different."

Old Li nodded, turned and left, leaving Zhou Wanwan alone to continue immersing herself in her own world.

A bold idea came to her mind: a necklace that would move with the seasons.

This thought made her heart beat faster, as if she saw the dawn of the future.

Zhou Wanwan returned home and immediately started drawing on paper.

Her pen tip danced on the paper as if performing a silent dance.

Various design plans kept popping up in her mind, and each one made her excited.

At this time, my best friend Qianqian pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bag of fresh fruits in her hand.

"Qianqian, you're just in time." Zhou Wanwan came back to her senses, "I have a new idea. I want to make a necklace for all four seasons, especially one for autumn. I want it to show the dynamic feeling of falling maple leaves."

Qianqian put down the fruit, walked to Zhou Wanwan, and listened carefully to her ideas.

"That sounds beautiful, Wanwan. You always have so many wonderful ideas."

"But reality is cruel." Zhou Wanwan sighed, "I don't know how to achieve this effect."

Qianqian patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, Wanwan. You are not alone. Let's find a solution together."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian sat in front of the counter of the jewelry store, with a pile of design drawings and material samples spread out in front of them.

Zhou Wanwan's fingers slid lightly across the drawing, her brows furrowed.

"I think we can use micro motors and LED lights to simulate the effect of falling maple leaves," Qianqian suggested, "but wouldn't that be too complicated and costly?"

"It is indeed a problem." Zhou Wanwan sighed, "And I am worried about the battery life. After all, the necklace is to be worn around the neck."

The two fell into silence. Zhou Wanwan kept replaying the beautiful idea in her mind, but she could not find a perfect solution.

"How about we go find a professional engineer for advice?" Qianqian broke the silence.

"Good idea," Zhou Wanwan nodded, "I know a friend who makes electronic products, maybe he can help."

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian came to an electronics company and met Zhou Wanwan's friend Engineer Li.

Engineer Li is a middle-aged man wearing a pair of thick glasses and looks very professional.

"Wanwan, Qianqian, hello." Engineer Li greeted them warmly, "I heard you have an interesting project?"

Zhou Wanwan handed him the design drawing and explained her idea in detail. Engineer Li listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

"This is a very creative idea," said Engineer Li, "but it is indeed difficult to implement."

“Our biggest concerns are battery life and cost,” Qian Qian added.

Engineer Li thought for a while and said, "I can help you design a microcircuit that uses solar panels to power it. This will not only solve the battery life problem, but also reduce costs."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

“However,” Engineer Li continued, “this project will take some time and may have some technical challenges.”

"We are not afraid of challenges," Zhou Wanwan said firmly, "as long as we can realize this idea, we are willing to work hard."

In the next few months, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian spent almost every day in Engineer Li's laboratory, studying the design of microcircuits and solar panels together.

Engineer Li's technical team is also very capable and constantly comes up with new solutions.

One day, Engineer Li walked into the laboratory with a sample in his hand, excitedly saying, "Wanwan, Qianqian, look, we succeeded!"

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian hurried over and saw a few tiny maple leaves slowly falling from the necklace in Engineer Li's hand under the illumination of the LED light, as if they were really swaying in the autumn wind.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhou Wanwan said excitedly, "This is what I want!"

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian were immersed in the joy of success when Engineer Li's phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and his expression gradually became serious.

"What's wrong, Mr. Li?" Zhou Wanwan noticed something was wrong and asked with concern.

Engineer Li sighed, "The company's top management has some opinions on our project. They think the project is too risky and costly, and may affect the company's overall profits."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian's hearts sank. They finally saw hope, but they didn't expect to encounter such an obstacle.

"Then what should we do?" Qianqian asked anxiously.

Engineer Li was silent for a while. "I will try my best to convince them, but you should also be mentally prepared."

Zhou Wanwan bit her lip and said, "No matter what, we can't give up."

Just then, Zhou Wanwan's cell phone rang. It was Master Zhongshan calling.

"Wanwan, I have a new idea that may be able to help you." Master Zhongshan's voice was full of encouragement.

"Teacher, please go ahead." Zhou Wanwan responded eagerly.

"I suggest you design a color-changing snowflake necklace and add some dynamic snowmen. This design is not only novel but also can attract more customers." Master Zhongshan explained in detail.

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, "Teacher, you are right! This idea is great!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan immediately told Qianqian and Engineer Li about Master Zhongshan's advice.

"Color-changing snowflake necklace?" Qianqian was a little confused. "This sounds complicated."

“It’s a challenge,” Engineer Li nodded, “but we can try.”

Zhou Wanwan said firmly: "We can't wait any longer, we must act as soon as possible."

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian began to design a color-changing snowflake necklace.

They read a lot of information and studied various color-changing materials and dynamic effects.

Engineer Li also joined their discussion and put forward many technical suggestions.
