Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 472 Only You Survived Three Days
Yu Dazhang has been extremely worried these past two days.

He thought that with a doctorate, he would just be doing odd jobs here.

Unexpectedly, even doing odd jobs requires professional knowledge.

For someone who had completely forgotten even the Pythagorean theorem, lurking in such an environment was pure torture.

If Ying Xuelian hadn't taught him how to do it step by step, he would have been exposed long ago.

Can't we start with something simple?
For example, serving tea and water... Yu Dazhang thinks the scientists here are too meticulous.

Look at them, they are all big names in academia.

Isn't it perfectly normal to have a novice PhD student pour them tea and clean up for them?

There's really no need to get involved in research work as soon as you arrive.

Yu Dazhang had previously heard of a so-called "hierarchy of contempt" in academia, but now it seems that it was all a rumor.

He now deeply understands this; these fifty-three institutes truly don't support idlers.

Another day passed.

Yu Dazhang has started having nightmares last night.

My dreams are filled with scenes of him working in the laboratory hall.

In just three days, he memorized more knowledge points than he had in three years of schooling.

What if I really can't learn it?
Then I'll just have to memorize it.

To blindly copy and apply techniques, relying on exceptional memory to perform the operation.

At the same time, he also discovered that his brain was incredibly useful; anything he wanted to remember, he could memorize perfectly after hearing it only once.

This struck him as incredible.

It turns out that in this life, not only have my senses become more acute, but my mind is also much sharper than in my previous life.

After three days, although it was tough, he gradually got used to it.

Yu Dazhang can even handle some tasks independently without having to ask Ying Xuelian.

Even more amazingly, he made two good friends during those three days.

One of them is a PhD and the other is a postdoctoral fellow. They are both newcomers who have only recently arrived and are also assigned to Ying Xuelian's group.

Perhaps it's because they share a similar plight.

Yu Dazhang and the two men hit it off immediately, becoming inseparable friends.

On this day, taking advantage of a lull in their work, the three of them got together again.

"Liu Bo, you've been here for over half a year and haven't taken a single day off?" Yu Dazhang asked one of them.

"Just call me Liu Hai," the man said with a bitter face.
"In this place, I always feel that 'doctor' is an insult."

After making a complaint, he finally answered:

"I have taken leave, but I am not allowed to leave the 53rd Institute. I can rest in the living area. Since I came here, I have lost contact with my family."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of helplessness on his face; he seemed to really miss home.

"Chen Bo, what about you?" Yu Dazhang looked at the other person:

"You said last time that you've been working here for a year and a half and haven't been home yet?"

Upon hearing Yu Dazhang call his name, the man waved his hand.
“From now on, just call me Chen Yang. After hearing what Liu Hai said, I also feel that the title ‘Doctor’ doesn’t sound very good.”

The postdoctoral researcher named Chen Yang had a hint of helplessness in his eyes:

"Last year I wanted to go home for New Year's Day, but the application process was too complicated, and once I left, it would be difficult to come back, so I had to give up."

This level of security unit certainly cannot be accessed by just anyone.

Yu Dazhang also discovered that the research projects here were kept secret internally.

For example, Ying Xuelian's group only needed to complete the assigned tasks; the group members had no idea what the entire project actually entailed.

Can't you guess?
for example.

Everyone knows Tesla, right?

Many companies around the world manufacture cars for Tesla, but none of them have mastered Tesla's car manufacturing technology.

This is even when you're explicitly asked to build it. The same applies to scientific research.

If you're only asked to work on one module, you'll never guess what the final product will look like when all the modules are combined.

It's like having an ordinary red brick placed in front of you, and being asked to guess where it will ultimately be used.

Building houses, paving roads, constructing buildings...

This is normal human thinking.

For those who enjoy fighting, red bricks are also a handy weapon.

Therefore, even auxiliary groups like Ying Xuelian's cannot know the exact details of this project.

"What about those who are already married?"

Yu Dazhang, a gossipy smile on his face, stole a glance at Ying Xuelian, who was focused on working in front of the equipment:

"If their spouses are left alone at home for extended periods, problems will arise."

His words startled Liu Hai and Chen Yang.

The two immediately made a shushing gesture.

"Keep your voice down," Liu Hai said in a low voice.
“It’s the worst thing to talk about this topic here. For married people, it’s like rubbing salt into a wound.”

These researchers really have it tough... Yu Dazhang sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

That night.

Yu Dazhang returned to another residential area.

This place is much more secluded and heavily guarded than where he lived before; there are even guards inside the building.

He also noticed that the place was full of researchers.

After dinner, Yu Dazhang was about to return to his room when a guard came up to him:
"Someone wants to see you."

Yu Dazhang didn't say anything, he just nodded.

He knew very well that only Li Mingzhao could make the guards look for him here.

It's been three days; the Beijing Guoan team should have made a move by now.

He followed the guard outside and then got into a military vehicle.

five minutes later.

Yu Dazhang arrived at his previous residence, where Li Mingzhao was waiting for him. To his surprise, Ye Lin was also there.

"Are you healed?" Yu Dazhang looked her up and down.

"I'm fine now," Ye Lin replied with a smile.
"For injuries like this, as long as the inflammation isn't too severe, recovery is quick."

Yu Dazhang nodded, then walked to the bedside and sat down.

"How is it?" Li Mingzhao asked anxiously.
"Any progress?"

"I've got it." Yu Dazhang smiled, a confident expression on his face:

"If I work with them for a while longer, I feel that getting a doctorate shouldn't be a problem."

He wasn't joking at all. After three days of learning and practice, he found himself gradually adapting.

Moreover, he has gradually figured out the tricks of the trade, and now he can complete most of the work independently.

"Be serious!"

Li Mingzhao naturally didn't believe him. Is a doctorate something that just anyone can get?
Wanting to pursue a doctorate without even a master's degree is simply wishful thinking.

“Okay.” Yu Dazhang’s smile faded, and he replied seriously:

"Nothing has been found yet. I've been studying for the past three days and haven't had the extra energy to observe other people."

"Besides, I can't really talk to those professors."

Class is everywhere... He now deeply understands the meaning of this statement.

“That’s true,” Li Mingzhao agreed.
Of all the people we sent in, you were the only one who survived three days.

Yu Dazhang: !!!
I forgot to mention it!
He forgot to mention it!
