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

Chapter 197, Episode 0204: All-round Protection

Neither of them were the type to drag things out, and after a few casual words, they got to work.

In the world of scientific research, you either know it or you don't; you can tell once you start doing it.

Chief Engineer Chen was also testing Lin Yuexi's idea. He originally thought that if he could speed up the calculation process and improve the accuracy, he would have already gained something. However, he did not expect that her mind was not on the same level as everyone else's. She exaggeratedly gave you the feeling that she had not even done the calculations before reporting the result.

They filled an entire page with data for her, and before anyone else could even see it clearly, she had already calculated the result.

For a fleeting moment, Chief Engineer Chen even considered asking her how many digits she could calculate using the equation of π.

Fortunately, reason prevailed.

Chief Engineer Chen took a stack of data from the safe on the wall and placed it on the table. He looked at Lin Yuexi with a solemn expression and said, "I won't tell you what this is. You'll know when you see it. This is about whether we can stand up or crawl and get beaten up in the future."

Realizing how important this was, Lin Yuexi straightened her posture and said, "Grandpa Chen, this is too important. It's not appropriate for me to suddenly get involved, is it?"

Chief Engineer Chen waved his hand, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. The leaders all say you're trustworthy, so naturally I trust you too."

He paused, then, remembering the two men's favoritism towards the little girl, quickly added, "But don't put too much pressure on yourself."

The young girl is too young. She is talented and capable, but she lacks experience, and no one can guarantee her character.

Many people in the higher-ups felt that since the young girl was capable, she should go to the research institute to serve the country.

Both leaders objected, precisely because they were worried it would affect her temperament.

The big boss once said: "This little girl is still a child. What child would like to be confined to one place? If she brings it up herself, we can't stop her. But if she doesn't say anything, no one can shamelessly force her."

Another person said: "When a child is out in the world, her mind is still active. Whatever she sees or thinks, she might come up with something brilliant in a flash. If she were locked up in a research institute, who can guarantee that her mind will stay active?"

Nobody dares to.

Which doll is not active?
Some geniuses are truly beyond your control; otherwise, you might end up like the prodigy who failed to live up to his potential.

This reflects the leaders' attitude towards Lin Yuexi: they acknowledge her abilities while relatively indulging her choices. As for whether she is trustworthy, none of the veteran leaders have ever doubted her.

Born into a martyr's orphan and raised in a military family, he grew up in a military compound in Beijing. He had access to the military headquarters in Beijing from a young age, and by the age of seventeen, he had already become a lieutenant colonel based on his contributions to the scientific research community.

These things can no longer be described simply as innocent; they are nothing short of glorious and honorable.

If even people like this can't be trusted, then how many people can be trusted?

Chief Engineer Chen patted her on the shoulder, "The moment we decided to invite you, it already meant that no one would doubt your identity. You have just proven your ability to me, so you can go ahead and do it with confidence. There are no people with questionable morals in my team, and I can guarantee that."

Sigh, these days, doing scientific research is all about being afraid of this and that. It's sad to think about. Fortunately, the situation in Jiuquan is much better. Once most people enter Jiuquan, the outside troubles no longer concern them.

However, it's not just the trouble that's okay.

Lin Yuexi was taken aback, realizing that he had misunderstood her meaning, but she didn't bother to explain further. She smiled, walked to the table, and began to look through the data.

Research calculations aren't something you do when given a few data points; you first need to know what you're researching, what the direction is, and where the data went wrong. In the world of science, once you get busy, your mind is consumed by data, data, data, and more data.

For six whole days, Lin Yuexi went to the bathroom by herself, and Xu Shan even fed her bite by bite.

Her mind was completely absorbed in the sheets of paper containing combinations of numbers and characters, with numbers and characters flashing through her mind like a replay.

I don't feel tired, I don't feel hungry, and I completely ignore my surroundings.

Although Xu Shan is Lin Yuexi's bodyguard, he has never taken such close care of her before, even when she was working. Back in the Red Star Brigade, Ren Yan was the one who was in charge of Lin Yuexi's pregnancy during her work hours, which is why Ren Yan accompanied her this time.

However, in Jiuquan, a place with strict requirements in every aspect, Ren Yan did not have a proper official position and was not even qualified to enter the underground city. Only Xu Shan, the guard who was officially assigned to Lin Yuexi, was fully responsible for taking care of Lin Yuexi.

So this was the first time Xu Shan had ever known that this was how the leader worked; he finally understood what it meant to be in a world of selflessness.

At that moment, Xu Shan was feeding the child with a lunchbox in hand.

Lin Yuexi stood there as if frozen in place, staring blankly ahead, giving off a dumbfounded vibe.

Xu Shan held a lunchbox in one hand and a spoon in the other, carefully feeding the baby bite by bite.

Despite her seemingly silly nature, Lin Yuexi still manages to open her mouth and eat obediently.

Xu Shan has gone from being so nervous at the beginning that his whole body was shaking, to now feeding the animals with great ease. After all, this is something he may have to do for the rest of his life.

After feeding her, Xu Shan fetched hot water to wash Lin Yuexi's face and hands, then left with the basin and empty lunchbox.

Staff were already waiting at the door, and as soon as he came out, they took the basin and empty lunchbox from his hands.

Xu Shan is Lin Yuexi's bodyguard. Oh, right, after Lin Yuexi was promoted to lieutenant colonel, he was officially appointed as Lin Yuexi's bodyguard. No, that's not entirely true. To be precise, he should be the captain of the guard team.

While Lin Yuexi was preoccupied with data, the higher-ups, after discussing the incident of Lin Yuexi being attacked on the road, decided that they would no longer allow her to be completely left to her own devices, and that she would be subject to strict protection.

The first step was to establish a guard team of three hundred people, appointing Xu Shan as the captain and Luo Dawei as the deputy captain, with Xu Shan in the open and Luo Dawei in the shadows.

Xu Shan was also terrified of being blocked all the way.

He changed into women's clothing to lure the pursuers away, but later, because Lin Yuexi was secretly led by Huo Han along the railway, he, the guard, got separated from the person he was supposed to protect.

Xu Shan was terrified at the time, but fortunately he soon received news that the person had arrived safely in Jiuquan.

Although this situation was special, and the superiors only asked them to write a self-criticism without any other punishment, this incident alone was enough to severely impact the protection personnel, who were either from special forces or elite units, and made them even more cautious.

They don't even fully trust the security in Jiuquanli anymore.

Xu Shan provided close protection; the guards with weapons at the door were also from the security team, as were the people responsible for delivering and collecting meals.

The director and Chief Engineer Chen understood, and Chief Engineer Chen's protective measures were no different, so no one should interfere with anyone else.
