94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Chapter 110 This is truly authentic!

Academician Zhou waved his hand.

This thing can't possibly hold back an old fox like him?

"The report definitely needs to be submitted, but we can't wait. The sooner the better. Commander Hou, don't worry, I understand the importance of confidentiality and won't say anything carelessly."

Chief Hou smiled somewhat helplessly.

I feel like I have a happy but unfortunate life.

Now there's even more to deal with.

"I'm not worried about keeping it a secret, I'm worried that you're too hasty."

"If this really comes to light, according to you, the higher-ups must know about it and then formulate appropriate contingency plans."

"Besides, Xiaoyu has a lot of things to do, such as the stealth coating for fuel cells."

However, Lin Yu then took over the conversation.

"Uncle Hou, these things don't conflict. I can provide a solution for BEC first and guide the team in building the system."

"We'll go over and supervise when the actual experiment is being conducted."

"The daily operations can be handled by the people on Old Zhou's side."

Academician Zhou nodded in agreement.

This thing can't be developed too quickly in the short term.

The laboratory he needs to build this thing will take several days to set up.

Academician Wang nodded and stepped forward to lend a hand.

"That works too, it makes the division of labor clear."

"Old Zhou leads the equipment and team, while Xiao Yu is responsible for the core solutions and key technical nodes."

"I'll just provide some computing resources."

"The three of us, with our limited abilities, are as good as Zhuge Liang."

Everyone present burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Chief Hou could hardly contain his emotions.

He simply couldn't stand the self-deprecating remarks made by these high-level talents.

"You two are academicians, and you're a genius! And you call yourselves 'mediocre'?"

"Alright, since you've reached an agreement, I support it, but the process cannot be changed."

"Remember to sign a confidentiality agreement for what follows."

"Just tell me what resources you want, and I'll coordinate with the higher-ups."

The two academicians nodded.

Then Academician Zhou stood up, walked to Lin Yu, and solemnly extended his hand.

"Kobayashi, I'm leaving this to you."

"If you can really figure it out, you'll be the leader in the transition from macroscopic objects to microscopic quantum mechanics."

"Our country is the one in charge."

Lin Yu quickly grasped his hand in return.

"Mr. Zhou, please don't say that. I should be thanking you for trusting me."

Academician Wang also stood up, watching the two of them deferring to each other, which reminded him of his childhood.

I was just as spirited and ambitious when I was young, believing that there was nothing I couldn't do.

Decades have passed, but that spirit remains.

He still believes there's nothing the country can't do.

The only problem is that it will take time.

"Alright, you two, don't stand on ceremony."

"We'll go over the equipment list in detail later."

"Xiaoyu, if you actually succeed in making that BEC paper you mentioned, where will you publish it?"

Lin Yu was taken aback; he hadn't thought about this question before.

Academician Zhou said from the side, "Why publish a paper? Apply for a patent first, then hold a press conference and announce it directly to the world."

"Then let those Western laboratories see that Chinese people not only follow hot topics, but can also create new directions."

Academician Wang nodded: "That makes sense. However, the Nobel Prize selection requires supporting papers, not patents. You still have to publish, but you have to choose a suitable journal."

The three then discussed for a long time, and by the time they left the meeting room, it was already evening.

The night breeze carrying the waning moon was slightly chilly. Lin Yu pulled his coat tighter and followed Chief Hou outside.

The two academicians were also helped into the same car by their guards.

After a long day of running around, they hadn't eaten much. Now that things were settled, they planned to grab a bite to eat together.

Commander Hou drove the car himself.

Lin Yu leaned back in the passenger seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Commander Hou spoke as he drove.

"Xiaoyu, you really shouldn't try to do everything yourself."

Lin Yu opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"Yes, sir, I really wish I could learn the art of creating clones."

Academician Wang, who was sitting in the back row, smiled.

"You only really show your youth at times like this. You don't need to be in two places at once; just focus on the big picture and let go of the small details."

"You've set the direction; now the specific tasks are up to your subordinates."

"You just need to be responsible for the key points and provide technical guidance."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be that Kongming eats little but has many tasks to attend to? How could he last long?"

Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully.

He knew Academician Wang was right; he couldn't do everything himself, but there were some things he wouldn't trust to do without doing them personally.

When the car stopped at a red light, Commander Hou patted him on the shoulder.

"Take your time, you'll get used to it. Let's go, you've had a long day, let's grab something to eat."

The countdown at the red light ended, the engine started, and it continued towards Beijing in the night.

Lin Yu leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and his mind was still racing with those thoughts.

Oh right, he also made plans to have dinner with his senior, but he seems to have stood her up today.

I'll apologize to my senior sister next time.

He really felt he needed to get some rest.

The car finally stopped at an inconspicuous restaurant.

Lin Yu got out of the car and saw that it was an old Beijing hot pot restaurant.

The storefront wasn't large, but it was brightly lit inside, and the aroma of meat wafted out.

Commander Hou led the way inside.

"I come here often. The owner is an old acquaintance, one of my former subordinates who retired from the military."

The group entered the private room and sat down around a large round table.

The waiter set out a copper pot with charcoal fire.

Then several plates of thinly sliced ​​mutton were served.

They also added some glass noodles, cabbage, and frozen tofu.

Academician Wang looked at the copper pot and smiled.

"This is great, it's warm."

"Whether it's the little ones or us old folks, everyone needs to eat more."

"Now it's time to put your brain to work!"

Commander Hou took the tea from the waiter.

They poured it on to each person one by one.

"Let's have tea instead of alcohol today."

"We all still have things to do."

Although the two elderly academicians were somewhat tempted by the wine, they glanced at Lin Yu beside them and refrained from drinking.

They felt they couldn't lead the children astray.

But they had no idea that Lin Yu's alcohol tolerance was enormous, given his excellent physical condition.

The water in the copper pot boiled in no time.

Steam rose up with a bubbling sound.

Lin Yu picked up a piece of mutton and dipped it in the pot.

The tender lamb cooked quickly.

The tender red meat turns brown after being cooked in the broth, and curls up slightly.

The fat on both sides of the lamb slices is white and tender.

Dip it in sesame sauce and put it in your mouth.

Lin Yu ate until his eyes were squinted.

No wonder those old Beijingers always like to say "authentic".

This tastes really good.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks to pick up meat, and the private room was filled with the sounds of chewing and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.

After eating for a while, Academician Wang put down his chopsticks and looked at Lin Yu.

"Xiaolin, you'll have to sort out what you said today."

"Whether it's compiled into a book or lecture notes, there has to be a system."

Lin Yu scratched his head. Although he had this idea, he was afraid that it would mislead young people.
