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

Chapter 237, Episode 0246: Ye Changshan

In the end, Ye Changshan joined Lin Yuexi's project team.

why?
It wasn't that Lin Yuexi compromised with 'power'; rather, the project funds from above came down quickly and directly, without any middlemen taking a cut.

They also provided many other conveniences, such as doing their best to cooperate with whatever Lin Yuexi needed.

This preferential treatment is just too much! Lin Yuexi felt embarrassed. What did she do to deserve such attention from above?
At the same time, a rare sense of pressure arose.

It's absolutely impossible that it was for Ye Changshan.

Leaving aside the fact that Ye Changshan has 'participated' in no fewer than twenty research projects, some of which have made significant breakthroughs, he has never received special treatment for any of them, and several projects have even been stalled due to insufficient funding.

From what her father said, Lin Yuexi realized that the reason was still related to XY001. The technology was too advanced for current technology, which made the higher-ups have high hopes for the research she was going to do.

Her father also told her that this special treatment of her could be considered an experiment or a test. If she succeeded this time and could also take the lead in technology, she would be in greater danger in the future, but she would also receive the highest level of support.

In other words, this time we are cooperating with her in all aspects. If the project is successful, next time it will not only be cooperation, but also finding ways to get her whatever she needs, even if the country doesn't have it yet.

Ye Changshan was in his early forties. He wasn't ugly at all; on the contrary, he had a very good appearance. As long as he didn't speak, he looked like a middle-aged, steady, and handsome uncle.

When he first arrived, the girls in the group all stared at him, some even with unhealthy looks in their eyes.

But the moment he opened his mouth, everyone instantly lost all feeling.

Lin Yuexi, who possesses psychic abilities, is very good at choosing people; none of them are troublemakers. Even if they find him annoying, they just avoid him.

This made Ye Changshan, who was always the center of attention wherever he went, feel that his self-esteem had been hurt and that he had been isolated and that the entire project team was bullying him, a newcomer.

Especially since he arrived, he has never seen anyone discuss the topic of wind power generation. Some people spend all day reading a book on quantum mechanics, while others spend all day doing calculations on a pile of papers. No one knows what they are calculating. Anyway, he doesn't say a word in the public office. Occasionally, when he gets stuck, he runs to Lin Yuexi's office with his books.

And so on.

What do you call this if not ostracizing him?
Ye Changshan deliberately increased the volume of his footsteps as he walked back and forth in the aisle between the two rows of desks, trying to attract everyone's attention and express his dissatisfaction.

But it was no use; nobody paid any attention to him, and everyone just went about their business.

Ye Changshan was furious. He snorted angrily and prepared to go find Lin Yuexi to reason with her.

As they left the public office, the door to Lin Yuexi's private office at the very back opened, and Lin Yuexi came out and handed a thick file, about the length of an index finger, to the guard standing at the door.

Ye Changshan, as if he had caught something, rushed over with a "whoosh," and said, "I knew it! I knew it was because you didn't want me to join in. Did you also think I was here to steal your credit? So not only did you not let me participate in the project, you also didn't let me touch any of the related content. That way, when we succeed in the future, I won't even be able to explain the principles behind it."

"The wind turbine blades are rotated by wind power, and the rotation speed is increased by a speed increaser, which in turn drives the generator to generate electricity."

"Huh~?" Ye Changshan's angry expression froze instantly. What did this mean?
Lin Yuexi's gaze was calm as she answered him methodically, "That's the principle behind wind power generation."

"The core equipment for wind power generation includes wind turbines, generators, and towers. A wind turbine generally consists of three blades. When the wind blows on the blades, it drives the wind turbine to rotate, converting wind energy into kinetic energy, which in turn drives the generator to generate electricity. The generator is the component that converts the mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy."

Ye Changshan became more and more confused as he listened. Seeing that Lin Yuexi was determined to teach him from beginning to end, he hurriedly shouted to stop, his face pale.

"No, no, that's not what I wanted to ask. What I wanted to say was, were you deliberately making everyone avoid me?"

This time, Lin Yuexi was stunned. She asked him sincerely, "You're also a researcher. You should know that once we get into something, it's easy to ignore everything around us. It's not that everyone is avoiding you; it's just that everyone is too engrossed."

Ye Changshan rolled his eyes without any politeness, the kind that makes his eyeballs disappear. "Come on, I've been here for five days and I haven't heard you discuss anything related to wind power generation. I have heard you discussing engines, but they're not talking about engines used to generate electricity."

Lin Yuexi understood now and chuckled softly.

Her perfunctory attitude almost made Ye Changshan jump up and down in anger.

Fortunately, Lin Yuexi explained: "Wind power generation is a big project. It's not just the dozen or so people you've seen these past few days. It's a big project that's divided into several smaller projects, and each of the smaller projects has at least thirty people."

"Take the tower for example. Designing its shape is the simplest part, and you could even say that this step doesn't require much technical expertise for us. The key is the materials used to build it. Iron is definitely not an option, and our current steel technology is not sufficient either. If we want it to have a longer lifespan, we need to find a solution in terms of materials."

Ye Changshan understood a little. "The materials team has all gone out, right?"

Lin Yuexi neither denied nor nodded, but continued, "The dozen or so people you've seen these past few days are from the calculation team. Before you came, they had been working day and night for almost a month. I gave them a few days off, but they couldn't stay in the dormitory and all came back."

It turned out to be the case.

Ye Changshan was so agitated that his ears turned red and almost bled. He stammered, "I'm sorry, I... I thought you were like those people, that I was stupid and that I was taking credit for my dad's work."

Ok?
Judging from what he said, does that mean he's never taken credit for someone else's work before?

Nonsence.

Ye Changshan was very perceptive; he immediately caught the fleeting emotion in Lin Yuexi's eyes and let out another howl.

"You still say you don't think so too?"

Lin Yuexi was never one to back down from trouble. Her voice was soft but incredibly piercing as she retorted, "Judging by actions, not intentions, think about your own past. Do you think that in other people's eyes, you weren't deliberately stealing their research results?"

Unexpectedly, even the person he respected viewed him this way. Ye Changshan was truly aggrieved. This man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, suddenly became red-eyed.

His voice choked as he spoke, “I never thought of taking anyone’s work. I really love science and I really want to make a contribution. I don’t know why it has turned out this way. As long as they know I am my father’s son, even though I did nothing, my name always appears on the list, and often very early on.”

“I talked to my dad about this, but he told me to mind my own business.”
