As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 143 Loneliness
This is just like the graduate students whose research topic in the past two years is geopolitics, and they have to revise their papers every other day.

The situation changed too quickly. Who would have thought that America would not bring Japan and the Kangaroo Country to play, but instead the former world hegemon England would bring these two little brothers to cooperate in various ways.

(I am not hinting at anything that happened recently, please don’t make malicious associations)
Zheng never imagined that the positive electrode material he developed would allow Chinese graduate students to delay their graduation, revise their thesis, or change their research topic.

The Lunar New Year is about to pass. The Spring Festival holiday in Singapore is two days, plus two days of weekend leave, a total of four days.

Yes, the adjustment of holidays is not unique to China, Singapore also has it.

In fact, many countries around the world have this thing called adjusted holidays.

Zheng Li returned to his home in Lion City, where he bought a luxury apartment.

After Li Miaomiao came before the Spring Festival last year, she saw that Zheng Li had been living in the building of the R&D center and insisted that he buy a house and not live in the R&D center because the environment was too bad.

Li Miaomiao means that if you don’t buy it, I will buy one here and you can live in it then.

Anyway, he didn't need to go through the formalities in person to buy a high-end apartment. He could just let his subordinates do it. Zheng Li only needed to pay.

Zheng Li didn't bother too much about such a small matter.

Zheng Li bought the top-floor duplex of Wallich Residence, the tallest building in Singapore, from James Dyson.

After he bought a luxury house in Singapore, it caused heated discussion in a certain small circle.

Young said to Stephanie in private: "I heard that Zheng Li bought a luxury house in Lion City?"

Stephanie laughed and said, "Isn't this normal? It's normal for Mr. Zheng, a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions, to buy a luxury house."

"The quality of houses in Singapore is good. In 14, after Ali went public, many of its founders bought luxury houses in Singapore."

“I remember that the founder of Ali bought a house in Kingsford Residences, which was the most expensive high-rise apartment in Singapore.”

"It's normal to buy real estate as an asset allocation after you have money."

Many Internet upstarts will choose to sell part of their shares and then buy real estate.

Young: "I thought Zheng Li only knew how to do scientific research. It's a good thing to have desires. People without desires are abnormal."

Stephanie: "Zheng Li also has his own desires, but his desires are different from those of ordinary people. He enjoys the fun of exploring the unknown. There are many such people in history."

Young: “When I graduated with my PhD from MIT, I hoped to excel in academia and produce valuable research.

As a result, after working at WR Grace & Co for a few years, I went into the financial industry.

People’s ideas change.”

Stephanie reminded: “The gap between UMass State University and MIT is even bigger than the gap between Shenhai University and Shenhai Jiaotong University.

Please don't give others the illusion that you graduated from MIT.

If you graduated from MIT, you would have a better chance of making a name for yourself in academia. Zheng is different from you. It wasn’t that he wanted to go to MIT, but MIT begged him to go.”

Stephanie and Young have been friends for more than 20 years, and they were very casual when chatting.

Zheng Li returned to his home in Singapore, mainly because it was the Spring Festival and the security guards also had a holiday.

The keepers of experimental animals still have to go twice a day during the holidays to feed the experimental animals.

Another year has passed. The clone in Singapore has a mansion to live in, while the physical body in Kuala Lumpur can only live in a shabby room.

The luxury homes in Lion City are exquisitely decorated, with all kinds of meaningless decorations kept spotlessly clean by the housekeepers every day. In contrast, the shabby rooms in Kuala Lumpur only have a coffee table to declare their presence.

With the blessing of the magic brain, Zheng Li can completely control two bodies at the same time, dual-line operation, and later Zheng Li will also be able to operate three lines.

The strong contrast between the two gave Zheng Li a deeper understanding of the Blue Star civilization.

However, Zheng Li in Kuala Lumpur was rarely at ease. No one would care how a security guard spent the Spring Festival, even if he was the security captain.

Originally, there was a widow who expressed her willingness to live with Zheng Li in Kuala Lumpur, so Zheng Li became even more reclusive in Kuala Lumpur.

It is better to keep a low profile at times like this.

As for Zheng Li in Singapore, just from the messages on WeChat, everyone is sending him New Year greetings.

He first called his parents and had a brief chat with them.

Then wait for calls from others.

Only a few people know his cellphone number in Singapore.

"Happy New Year," Li Miaomiao was the first to call in. "Are you in the R&D center or Huali now?"

Zheng Li: "Happy New Year to you too, Zai Huali."

Li Miaomiao: "You can just stay at Huali more often, and you don't have to drive yourself. Why do you have to live in the R&D center every day?"

Zheng Li: "Too lazy to run."

Li Miaomiao: "Even if you want to be in the R&D center, you can find a room and decorate it properly instead of just putting a bed in the office area."

"There's really nothing we can do about you. The quality of life can be guaranteed if possible."

In fact, what Li Miaomiao didn’t know was that although Zheng Li only placed a bed in the office area, he used magic to make microscopic modifications to the air purifier in the office area.

The composition of the air particles there was as close as possible to that of the air particles on Zheng Li's previous planet. As for the bed, it was also specially modified to suit his sleeping habits.

Zheng Li interrupted, "Stop, take care of yourself, and don't try to impose your ideas on me."

Then he changed the subject and asked, "Did you go back to Jiangcheng to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Li Miaomiao: "I went back. I had to visit relatives during the two days of the New Year and go to a prefecture-level city near Jiangcheng. I stayed at home most of the time otherwise."

"I don't plan to go to a prefecture-level city. If I go, I might run into some relatives who will make embarrassing requests. I guess my parents should go. They are better at handling such situations."

"After the Chinese New Year is over, I plan to visit the R&D center invested by Kechuang Biotechnology in Jiangcheng."

"Jiangcheng has come to me again, saying they hope we can move our headquarters back to Jiangcheng, and that they can transfer a 7000-acre commercial land next to Optics Valley Biocity to us at a very low price."

"In fact, the governments of various places are similar. The bargaining chips given by Gusu, Jinling and Jiangcheng are similar, all of which are land."

"From the perspective of population support alone, Jiangcheng has more college students, and Suzhou, relying on the Yangtze River Delta, is more likely to recruit high-end talents."

"The attractiveness of Jiangcheng is still weaker than that of the Yangtze River Delta."

"I think it would be nice to go back to Jiangcheng, but most of the other employees don't want to."

It is a very troublesome thing for a company to relocate its headquarters. State-owned enterprises have been saying for many years that they will gradually move out of Yanjing, but in the end, only a few have moved over the years.

"After I visit the R&D center in Jiangcheng, we can consider increasing our investment in Jiangcheng appropriately."

As she was talking, Li Miaomiao realized that she had started talking about work again, so she quickly stopped herself and said, "Let's not talk about work on New Year's Eve. Did you go to see the Spring Festival fireworks in Lion City?"

Zheng Li: "It seems that we can directly see the Spring Festival fireworks set off on the sea from here."

Li Miaomiao: "Remember to take pictures. Will you feel lonely over there alone?"

Zheng Li fell into deep thought when asked, wondering when did he begin to gradually lose his human emotions?

Perhaps the humans bred in the artificial wombs of the Mage Alliance are inherently emotionally indifferent, and after entering the Mage Tower, their friends and classmates from the Mage Academy gradually drifted apart.

The only way to relieve loneliness is to chat with artificial intelligence.

The seminars among the mages are held every ten years, for example, once every twenty years or once every forty years.

The wizard who studies black holes is a rare good friend of his with whom he has common topics.

However, once a mage enters the research state, he will block external communications, and the time when the two parties happen to meet and be able to communicate in real time is very rare.

I probably started to get used to loneliness from the moment I entered the Mage Tower.

"Fortunately, I communicate with my colleagues in the laboratory every day, so I don't feel lonely."

"You often come to see me, and my colleagues at the Suzhou R&D Center also often ask me questions."

After Zheng Li finished speaking, Li Miaomiao felt the indescribable loneliness in Zheng Li's heart. She was the only friend he had. "Then I will try to chat with you more when you are free. If you are busy, I will send you a WeChat message."

Zheng Li: "Okay."

Then Li Miaomiao changed the topic and started talking about the New Year customs in Jiangcheng.

Zheng Li also told Li Miaomiao about the Spring Festival customs in Singapore that he had heard from his colleagues in Singapore.

After finishing the call with Li Miaomiao, the next person who called him was Lei Jun, and then Cheng Gang.

They always exchanged blessings, chatted briefly for a few words and then hung up.

"When you told me you wanted to work on lithium batteries, I was skeptical because you had never worked with lithium batteries before."

"Now I know that a genius is a genius, no matter what field he or she is in. I have also obtained the lithium battery sample from Kechuang Biotechnology, and the test results are very good."

"If it can be mass-produced, the new lithium battery you developed will definitely be used in the rice car we will release next year."

Being able to be mass-produced means that it has passed safety tests.

Zheng Li thought there was no need to spoil the fun on this day, so he agreed with Lei Jun and said he would definitely give him one when the time came.

"No problem. If you are in Lion City, I will take you there. If you are in Gusu, I will take you there. Even if you are on Mars, I will take you there."

In 24 years, someone really went to Mars, but it was not Zheng Li.

Another year has passed.

After the Spring Festival, China's battery manufacturers began to send representatives to Suzhou to discuss patent licensing with Kechuang Biotechnology.

Representatives from Panasonic, LG and Samsung also came.

Although Ke Chuang Bio did not send samples to foreign manufacturers, they were able to obtain samples through various channels.

After so many years of joint venture car companies and conflicts of interest, it is not easy to get samples.

The three battery manufacturers in Japan and South Korea tested the lithium battery samples from Kechuang Biotechnology as soon as they received them.

The energy density is three times that of the lithium batteries currently on the market, but they dare not and do not want to believe it.
