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

Chapter 224, Episode 0232: In a hurry to leave work?
Lin Yuexi was very lucky. She thrived in the Corps Research Institute and never encountered any exclusion. Director Yu valued her highly, even to the point of indulging her without principle.

Feeling at ease, Lin Yuexi quickly got into work mode and selected her team members from the people prepared by Professor Yu that same day. The entire team immediately plunged into the ocean of scientific research.

Lin Yuexi didn't just laze around at home for the few days she stayed there. After promising her father that she would build a wind power plant, she started designing it.

There are existing materials in the space, but they are too advanced to be manufactured now. Lin Yuexi has been revising and adding her own ideas these past few days.

Wind power generation is a huge project. Even a small one cannot be completed by just a few people. Moreover, it involves many groundbreaking technologies.

When selecting team members, in order to build it as soon as possible, she tried to choose people who were already very capable in all aspects.

For example, the formula for power conversion that she gave to Engineer Han, who was already in his fifties, was something he had never learned before, so he couldn't understand it at first. But after she explained it to him once, he not only understood it immediately, but he was also able to apply it to other situations.

The effect is absolutely fantastic.

If you send someone who isn't skilled in the field, she might still be in class right now.

Outside the cafeteria.

"Chief?"

Old Yu looked at Leng Zhi, who had suddenly stopped, with a puzzled expression.

Following his gaze, oh, I understand.

In a corner on one side, Lin Yuexi and her team members sat together. A dozen or so people sat around, playing around like children, moving the food and rice around with their chopsticks.

At first glance, it looked like a group of bears that could be beaten to death.

But this is perfectly normal in a research institute. They must have started discussing things while eating, and the food just became props.

Old Yu was in a bit of a dilemma. At times like this, he was reluctant to let Leng Zhi disturb them, as it might interrupt their train of thought.

Anyone who does research knows that sometimes a breakthrough can happen in an instant.

Fortunately, Leng Zhi had no intention of going over after seeing this. He shook his head at Old Yu and whispered, "Let's go, don't disturb them."

Old Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and turned to leave even faster than Leng Zhi.

Leng Zhi: "..."

Is this old guy in a hurry to leave work?

Leng Zhi was unaware that the scene was somewhat stimulating for the old man.

Professor Yu developed heart problems, and he was no longer allowed to participate in any research work. Coincidentally, the previous director retired, and Professor Yu was pulled up to take over.

But Professor Yu didn't like management; he preferred the pure joy of everyone focusing solely on research.

"Old Leng, you've really had a lucky life. Just wait to receive your reward."

Old Yu felt a pang of sadness, and his eyes, filled with cold indifference, seemed to say, "Quickly comfort me."

Leng Zhi: "..."

Don't look at him; out of sight, out of mind.

"The project hasn't even started being built yet, what credit are you going to claim?"

That's bullshit.

Now Old Yu was really unhappy. He stopped and glared at him. "Although I'm not a professional in that field, I've listened to Engineer Lin's explanation."

He leaned close to Leng Zhi's ear and lowered his voice seriously, saying, "Personally, I think the chances of success are very high. This is groundbreaking research. If it succeeds, it will definitely shock the world. At that time, Engineer Lin will likely be threatened by the whole world." Leng Zhi's eyes darkened. He understood what Elder Yu meant.

Our science and technology started late, decades behind many countries. Now we are restricted in many ways by those major technological powers. They can strangle us at will and suppress our development.

If we were to develop technology that surpasses theirs, we would certainly clamor to share it.

He might even threaten his superiors to hand over his daughter, claiming that she is a treasure of humanity and should belong to the whole world.

Old Yu patted Leng Zhi heavily on the shoulder, smiled, and turned to leave.

Leng Zhi was left alone there, standing there with an ambiguous expression for a long time.

Several days have passed without me even realizing it.

The group of people who had been 'exiled' finally arrived at the Northwest Corps.

The usually unruly Liu Jie now had messy hair and clothes, carrying a large burlap sack in his left hand and a tattered cloth bag with a large patch in his right, looking like a beggar.

"I'm going to yell at you all. I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to be sent to the same rural area as you."

Zhang Ze, panting as he dragged the burlap sack, still managed to reply, "You've been making a mess of things the whole way, can't you say it another way?"

It was just a hug on the train, and the girl didn't say anything, but this guy acted like he'd been ripped off.

Liu Jie angrily kicked Zhang Ze in the calf, "Let's switch places and see if you're still angry."

Zhang Ze fell silent for a moment, then shouldered the large sack and overtook the people in front of him in just a few breaths.

The male educated youth leading the way were already used to their miserable appearance. This group was considered relatively good; many of the educated youths who came here looked like they wouldn't live much longer, either as thin as a rake or dressed in patched clothes with no luggage at all.

Although they looked like they had suffered these past few days, just look at all those sacks of burlap, and the clothes they were wearing—not a single patch on them. And look at their physiques; even the only woman was stronger than him.

Clearly, these people come from well-off families, so they must have offended someone by coming here.

The male educated youth did not want to cause trouble or offend them, so they neither helped nor made things difficult for them, and simply led the way in silence throughout the journey.

Although they were educated youth sent to the Production and Construction Corps, they did not live in the military compound, but instead built another place for themselves within the compound.

There were many educated youth in the Northwest Production and Construction Corps, numbering nearly 100,000, and several mountains were densely covered with cave dwellings.

The male educated youth led the four to a hillside, pointed to two connected cave dwellings ahead, and spoke for the second time since their meeting:

"The cave dwelling on the left is larger, so the four of you male educated youths can stay there. The one on the right is smaller, just enough for one person. You can settle in first, and you can rest tomorrow. You'll officially start work the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhang Ze dropped the sack and rushed forward to grab the man. As he did so, he quickly stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the man's side pocket. He had already smelled the man's cigarettes; those who were sent-down youth and still smoked were basically heavy smokers.

"We're new here and don't know anything about this. Can you explain it to us?"

Sure enough, the male educated youth touched his pocket, guessed what it was, and immediately softened his attitude.

“We have to get up at six o’clock every day to run exercises. If we are late, we will be penalized. Each of us has a total of 100 points. Each point is deducted and we are charged one yuan. If we lose all 100 points, we will be sent to a farm for re-education.”

The group looked at each other, all feeling a lingering fear.

Fortunately, I asked, otherwise all six of them would have lost points just for getting up.

Was this person doing it on purpose?

But now is not the time to dwell on this.
