After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 196, Episode 0203: Lin Yuexi's Persistent Misunderstanding
After the little train made several turns in the passageway, which was surrounded by enclosed metal walls on both sides, it stopped in front of a metal safety gate after about half an hour.

The security guard led the two out of the car, took out a card from his pocket, swiped it on the sensor on the wall, and then checked their irises with his eyes. Only then did the security door slowly slide open to both sides.

Throughout his operation, Lin Yuexi and Huo Han tactfully kept a distance of three meters from him, and neither of them looked in his direction.

This improved the sanitation worker's impression of the two even more, and she spoke in an even more pleasant tone, "The door is open, come in quickly."

The two turned and followed.

Inside the security door, the layout is very much in line with the research institute's layout. There are offices with half-glass walls on both sides, some with the curtains half-drawn and others with the curtains completely open, so you can basically see the staff working in each office.

Everyone was so engrossed in their own activities that no one paid any attention to the three of them, or rather, even if they did, they couldn't be bothered to acknowledge them.

The security guard led them down another floor. The offices on this floor, facing the corridor, no longer had windows; they were all completely sealed off. Passwords were required to enter and exit, and guards with weapons were stationed at each door.

It also gives the passageway a strong sense of solemnity, and ordinary people would feel pressure just by looking at it.

As she walked in, Lin Yuexi felt like she had traveled through time. To be precise, she had always had a deep misunderstanding about the technology of this era.

She thought that a research base built of bricks was too underestimating, but she always believed that a base built of reinforced concrete was already the best it could be.

I never expected this!!!

All I can say is that she was too superficial and underestimated this generation of scientists!

To describe them as simply "awesome" would be an understatement.

Lin Yuexi not only possessed psychic abilities, but similar places were practically her home in her previous life. She didn't feel much about the desolate environment and followed calmly without looking to the side.

Huo Han, a top soldier, felt even less of anything.

As the security guard walked through the corridor, enduring the scrutinizing or curious gazes of countless soldiers on either side, he arrived at the door of the innermost office.

The security guard first exchanged passwords with the guard before saying, "Comrade Lin has arrived. Please inform Chief Engineer Chen."

The guard picked up the phone on the wall and dialed a few numbers. "Hello, Academician Chen, Wei Gong has brought Comrade Lin to see you."

The phone's mute function was excellent; no one else could hear what was being said on the other end. The guard nodded, hung up the phone, took a card from his breast pocket, and opened the office door using the same procedure as the security guard had used earlier.

"Please come in."

When the door opened, an excited voice came from inside, almost drowning out the guard's voice.

"Xi'er, I've been waiting for you to come. The elders and the others cherish you so much. I begged them several times but they wouldn't agree to come to the Northwest. This time, I even gave them two cans of good tea before they finally nodded in agreement."

Chief Engineer Chen is over sixty years old, with a full head of white hair. Because he has been underground for a long time, his skin is unnaturally white. He probably has the same problem that scientific researchers have: he hasn't had much rest. He looks tired and his eyes are bloodshot.

Lin Yuexi recognized Chief Engineer Chen in front of her. Not only did she recognize him, but she was also very familiar with him. Oh, no, it should be said that the original owner of this body was very familiar with him.

This person was extraordinary. At the age of fifteen, he went to Country D as a foreign student. During his nearly ten years in Country D, he changed many majors. It wasn't that he couldn't learn them or wasn't focused; rather, he mastered each major.

He won his first world-class award at the age of twenty-five, and his second at twenty-eight. Does that sound familiar? It's got that old Qian Lao vibe!
His later experiences were even more similar. When he was thirty-seven, he decided to return to China, but the D country wouldn't let him. With a talent like him, it would be strange if they were willing to let him go.

Country D has tried everything—coercion and enticement—but nothing worked.

Then came imprisonment, wrangling between the two countries, and rescue efforts from various parties. After more than four years, Chief Engineer Chen and his family finally returned to China.

Upon his return, he participated in the atomic bomb research project. Although he was not the overall person in charge of the project, he was one of the most important technical backbones.

He was responsible for both the propulsion and ballistics aspects.

After a full fourteen years, a huge mushroom cloud finally rose into the sky over this land, but Old Yang has left us.

Chief Engineer Chen took over his shift and continued to follow in Old Yang's footsteps.

These are just a few brief sentences summarizing Chief Engineer Chen, and cannot truly describe his greatness!
Lin Yuexi knew him because the original owner of this body had also been involved in the twelve years following the fourteenth year.

Back then, computers weren't very advanced. When researching such a sophisticated device as the mushroom bomb, we mainly used abacuses for calculations—can you believe it?!
Rows of incredibly long abacuses, and a group of people working day and night, manipulating the abacuses to perform calculations.

The original owner was just a baby at that time, which coincidentally revealed her extraordinary talent for calculation.

At the time, it was somewhat of a last-ditch effort; she had participated in the calculations for the power system, but unfortunately, she couldn't continue for long due to health reasons.

Because the original owner was too young at the time, for various reasons, she did not participate openly to the entire research institute when she got involved. Only the director and a few 'old guys' knew about it, one of whom was Chief Engineer Chen.

How could I not remember it!
Chief Engineer Chen chuckled and shook Lin Yuexi's hand vigorously. "Do you still remember Grandpa Chen?"

“I remember you taught me quantum mechanics back then.”

This is where things get funny. Back then, all the "old guys" could tell that the original owner was a little genius. Not only did he have an extraordinary talent for calculation, but he also had a strong learning ability and a comprehension level of at least 90. Apart from his poor health, he was the kind of genius student they most hoped to have.

So they got so excited that they often forgot the original owner was just a child under five years old, and whenever they had free time they would teach her the professional knowledge they were good at.

The original owner had been lying at home for more than ten years. The reason why his reputation as a genius had not faded was thanks to the less than six months he spent there while he was still a baby.

Unexpectedly, the girl still remembered him. Chief Engineer Chen laughed heartily. After laughing, he said with emotion, "I wanted to take you as my student when you were a child, but unfortunately your health was too poor at that time. The environment here was also not good. You almost lost your life here in less than half a year."

"I heard from the Second Elder a while ago that you've recovered well. I need you right now. To be honest, I've never given up the idea of ​​taking you as my student. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Lin Yuexi was flattered and said, "Of course I'm willing. It's an honor for me to be your student."

This is a national hero!
Besides, based on all the knowledge they taught the original owner back then, they were already her teachers.

However, for someone of Chief Engineer Chen's caliber, the title of "teacher" is not something that can be casually used to address anyone, so she didn't dare to act like a student as soon as she entered.

Chief Engineer Chen could tell that Lin Yuexi wasn't flattering him; the girl's eyes held genuine respect and admiration for him, and she laughed heartily, tilting her head back.

This finally put his mind at ease; the student he had been longing for for over a decade was finally in his pocket.

I wonder if Old Liu and his gang will be so angry when they find out that they'll come and beat him up?
