You said you failed your college entrance exam and are now crowdfunding to build a university?

The latest update is now available on Cola Novels; we await your interpretation.

The fact that the most prestigious university failed to make the list seems to suggest that the United States views the latter's "threat" in key strategic technologies as less of a concern.

"Wow! This list is a true testament to the 'prestige' of universities! Is Haichuan University even threatening the US?"

"This level of expertise is incredibly high."

"As a supporter of Haichuan University, I never dreamed our school would have this day!"

"It seems SCI also issued a statement saying they would restrict access to Haichuan University?"

Following this, netizens discovered that SCI also released a statement, listing nine academic restrictions against Haichuan University.

Some people followed the clues and searched the SCI website, and were shocked by the results: Haichuan University has published more than 70 papers indexed by SCI in the past few months, covering more than 30 different disciplines, maintaining a "high-yield" pace of almost one paper per day!

"Who said Haichuan University's faculty was inadequate? Come out and show yourselves!"

"They're all top-tier majors! How could I have been so blind not to apply? I'm not from those provinces, so I couldn't apply." (Note: This retains the original setting's reference to universities having geographical restrictions, but downplays the specific provinces.)

"I'm taking the college entrance exam next year, and my goal is Haichuan University! No one can change my mind!"

Only now have many netizens truly realized how terrifying Haichuan University is.

The output efficiency and quality of these papers are clearly superior compared to the meager results produced by some traditional prestigious universities during the same period. Those who missed the opportunity to apply back then are now filled with deep regret.

"Look! The Ministry of Science and Technology has issued an official document!" Another netizen discovered the new development.

The usually low-profile official account of the Ministry of Science and Technology suddenly published a long article.

The article confirms that Haichuan University donated its controlled nuclear fusion technology to the country free of charge and gives it high praise, calling it "an important hope for China's scientific and technological innovation." It officially includes Haichuan University in the list of "key scientific research cooperation institutions" and calls on universities across the country to learn from Haichuan University's spirit of responsibility.

At the end of the article, dozens of universities, including Yenching University and Tsinghua University, were specifically named.

This list of names subtly includes the 45 schools that previously jointly voiced their doubts about Haichuan University.

Yenching University, President's Office.

Yu Tianzhou looked at the Ministry of Science and Technology's announcement, his face turning red and then white, his emotions extremely complicated.

"He actually donated? For free?" He remained silent for a long time. Wei Ying's move completely disrupted his predictions.

He originally thought that Wei Ying would use this opportunity to negotiate with the government in exchange for various resources and policy support. Unexpectedly, the other party acted so decisively and handed over this technology that could change the fate of the country.

"The hope of China, this is a warning to us." Looking at the meaningful name mentioned in the article, Yu Tianzhou sighed deeply, his mouth feeling bitter.

The Ministry of Science and Technology's attitude couldn't be clearer. At the same time, the inclusion of Haichuan University in the list of "key cooperative institutions" means that it will be able to directly participate in the competition for major national scientific research projects in the future, gaining the qualification to be on equal footing with them.

Nowadays, there are growing calls online for Haichuan University to "surpass Yenching University and Tsinghua University".

"So what if that's the case?" Yu Tianzhou clenched his fist, as if to encourage himself. "Our Peking University has a century-old heritage and deep roots. How can it be so easy to surpass it?"

Universities, in essence, are places for teaching, nurturing, and cultivating talent. It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person! With its profound foundation in talent cultivation, Yenching University fears no challenge!

The Ministry of Science and Technology's statement was like a final decision, and the universities named in the document reacted quickly.

Tsinghua University, Peking University, Southern University, and other universities held internal meetings and subsequently made the same decision: to quietly remove the joint statement questioning Haichuan University that they had released a few months earlier, and to delete all related critical content from their official accounts.

Haichuan University, not far from the school gate.

Inside that familiar black van, Li Qi looked at the news on his phone, filled with emotion.

"I never expected this." He shook his head. "At first, I suspected that Principal Wei was a fraudster who would run away with the money, but he turned around and handed over the technology that solved the world's difficult problem to the country free of charge."

He recalled the past few months he had spent "staking out" near the university.

Initially, it was to prevent potential fundraising fraud risks, but it turned out to be a lucky break, leading to the arrest of many criminals attracted by the reputation of "Haichuan University" and "Weiying," earning him considerable merit. This place practically became his "lucky place."

"Alright, pack up and get ready to leave." Li Qi glanced at the majestic school gate outside the window and said with some reluctance.

"Captain Li, how about we go in plainclothes and have one last meal at the cafeteria? It'll be a way of saying goodbye," an officer suggested.

Over the past few months, they've eaten a lot of food at Haichuan University's cafeteria, and they've almost developed a fondness for it.

Li Qi thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's treat it as a graduation dinner."

The seven people got off the bus, changed into casual clothes, and walked towards the school gate like ordinary visitors. After taking only a few steps, Li Qi's professional and keen eyes locked onto a figure that looked strange.

It was a middle-aged man wearing an ordinary white T-shirt, holding a camera, taking pictures of the school gate and the surrounding environment.

"Captain Li, what's wrong? There are plenty of people taking pictures." The subordinate officer didn't seem to care.

"No, this person is different." Li Qi lowered his voice, his eyes sharp. The man's movements seemed casual, but his body was somewhat stiff, and his eyes were unfocused, revealing a kind of tension that he was deliberately trying to hide.

Moreover, while others were taking pictures of the school gate, he was particularly interested in the surrounding mountain roads, terrain, and even some inconspicuous corners.

"Let's skip dinner for now." Li Qi decisively changed his plan, signaling his men to disperse, disguise themselves as passersby, and secretly keep an eye on the man.

Half an hour later, the man finished taking photos and walked straight into the campus, with Li Qi and others following him among the tourists.

"Watch out for his briefcase," Li Qi whispered a reminder. When men walk, they always seem to intentionally or unintentionally point their briefcases in certain directions and linger at certain points for ten seconds or so, as if measuring or recording something.

Once inside the campus, he deliberately chose less crowded side paths, avoiding the main roads and crowds.

The man took the campus sightseeing bus and arrived at the White Tiger Campus.

He then found a secluded spot, picked up his briefcase again, and this time, focused the camera on a distant mountain that was under separate surveillance—the Seventeenth Mountain—for an extended period of time.

"He's filming the Seventeenth Mountain!" Li Qi's pupils contracted. He immediately recalled the previous news: the experimental base of Haichuan University, the place where the "artificial sun" was created, was very likely hidden in the Seventeenth Mountain!

The man stayed in the same spot "taking pictures" for a full half hour before casually returning the way he came, walking out of the school gate, and driving away.
