Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

After Lü Yongchang left, the classroom fell silent once again.

The professors stared intently at the blackboard in front of them.

After a long while, Tian Zhixuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"This kid... he's something else!"

Jiang Yongxing, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

"That's right, at least I can't see any logical flaws."

Guan Hualiang's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at Jiang Yongxing beside him with a surprised expression.

"Dean Jiang, do you mean... this plan is actually feasible?!"

Jiang Yongxing hesitated for a moment: "Perhaps... it's because my skill level is too low."

"After all, I'm not a specialist in controlled nuclear fusion."

As he spoke, Jiang Yongxing turned to look at Tian Zhixuan: "Dean Tian, ​​what do you think of the molecular formula of the new material?"

A hint of bitterness appeared in Tian Zhixuan's eyes as he slowly shook his head and said, "I...I don't know."

"What?!"

"How is that possible..."

The professors all exclaimed in surprise.

Even Jiang Yongxing was taken aback, saying, "Old Tian, ​​you must be joking! When it comes to materials science, you're one of the top experts at Sandaokou University!"

"Even you can't figure out this material?!"

The bitterness in Tian Zhixuan's eyes became more and more obvious. He sighed deeply, stood up and walked towards the blackboard.

He stood in front of the projector screen, slowly running his hand across its slightly rough surface, muttering to himself, "Materials... the more you learn about them, the more you realize how ignorant you are."

"The molecular formula of this new material... I'm certain it has never appeared anywhere else before!"

"Although we don't know the full extent of this material's performance, it definitely possesses amazing resistance to high temperatures and high pressures!"

"I have a feeling that this panel of notes, the deductive process of this new material, is the most essential part!"

Hearing this, everyone was deeply moved!

Everyone present was engaged in scientific research, so they were naturally familiar with the concept of scientific intuition.

In scientific research, research intuition often plays a significant role.

Although this explanation sounds far-fetched, it is... the truth!

The more outstanding a scientist is, the more accurate their research intuition will be!

Kekulé discovered the benzene ring structure, Mendeleev discovered the regularity of the periodic table...

These amazing scientific achievements, to varying degrees, are aided by scientific intuition!

In many cases, the research intuition of top scientists can often lead to shortcuts in a complex field!

Jiang Yongxing, his expression grave, glanced around at the professors and said in a deep voice, "Since you put it that way, Lao Tian... I suggest we convene a department-wide meeting immediately!"

"All professors from the School of Materials Science and Engineering and the School of Nuclear Physics must be present!"

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Yongxing added, "Furthermore, let all the professors from the nuclear physics lab come out and have a proper discussion about this plan!"

"If it truly works... perhaps the day of our Xia Kingdom's revival will be today!"

……

Sandaokou University.

Early September is the hottest time of the year.

The blazing sun shone through the dense foliage, casting countless dappled light spots on the asphalt road.

No one could have imagined that one day in the future, the sun would personally drag human civilization into the abyss!

Lu Yongchang walked quietly on the asphalt road, his eyes flashing with countless complex emotions.

In his mind, the scene of the helium flash in his previous life was still playing on repeat.

"Do you know why I did this...?"

"……I like you."

Images of Su Yutong being his assistant in his past life kept flashing through his mind.

Lü Yongchang clenched his fists slightly.

In his past life, he gave up all romantic relationships for the sake of scientific research.

As a result, not only did he fail to respond to the feelings of those around him, but he also indirectly destroyed human civilization!

In this life, he must make up for all his regrets!

"The brightest star in the night sky..."

Lu Yongchang paused, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

This was his old ringtone, which he had used for many years.

He took his phone out of his pocket, and looking at this familiar yet old-fashioned device, the look of nostalgia in his eyes grew even stronger.

The phone screen lights up.

Upon seeing the incoming call information displayed on the screen, a flicker of excitement flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes!

His hands trembled as he swiped his phone screen and answered the call.

"mom?"

Lü Yongchang's voice was choked with emotion.

The next moment, a gentle female voice came through the microphone.

"Yongchang? What's wrong?"

"Why does the voice sound strange?"

Lu Yongchang quickly composed himself and forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing, I just choked on some water."

"Mom, is something the matter?"

"It's nothing much, I just wanted to ask you what your plans are for the future, since... you're a sophomore now."

After a moment of silence, Lü Yongchang said firmly, "Mom, I'm going to pursue a career in scientific research."

"What?! Scientific research?!"

A male voice came from the other end of the microphone: "What's so great about scientific research? I didn't want him to study physics back then because I was afraid this kind of thing would happen, and now look what's happened..."

A smile appeared in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

That was his father, Lü Guoqing's voice.

Faced with Mr. Lü's complaints, Mrs. Lü, Zhou Qingru, interrupted him impatiently: "Alright, alright, shut up! Let our son choose his own path in life!"

"Yongchang, now that you've decided to pursue scientific research, Mom supports you!"

"Don't worry about your dad, I'll talk to him properly."

"That's settled then. If you encounter any difficulties, just give me a call!"

Before Lü Yongchang could speak, the phone was hung up.

Hearing the busy tone on the microphone, Lü Yongchang shook his head with a wry smile.

His father, Lü Guoqing, was a businessman, and thanks to that, he was used to a life of luxury from a young age.

For this reason, Lü Guoqing's plan for the future has always been to take over the family business and live a leisurely life as a wealthy man.

but……

Whether in his past life or this one, Lü Yongchang did not follow his father's plans.

……

Beijing.

Inside a small villa.

"Sigh! Qingru, you just keep spoiling him!"

"What kind of messy scientific research are you doing?!"

A middle-aged man dressed in casual home clothes sat on the sofa and said angrily, "That thing is exhausting, and you might not even achieve anything!"

Beside the man sat a gentle woman with long hair reaching her waist.

Hearing her husband's complaint, the woman chuckled lightly: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Don't you know Yongchang's personality?"

"The more you forbid him from doing it, the more he wants to get involved!"

"Just let him go. When he runs into trouble, he'll naturally turn back."

His wife's words made Lü Guoqing's eyes light up: "That makes sense!"

……

Lu Yongchang was naturally unaware of what had happened at home.

At this moment, his mind was focused on controlled nuclear fusion.

I wonder how those professors evaluated that plan...
