94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Yang Jia, who had been staking out Beihang University for nine days, didn't see Lin Yu, who was out. Instead, he was doing a cucumber face mask in a residential building across from Beihang University when his subordinate barged in.

"Something's wrong, Boss!"

The younger brother, dressed in black, rushed in with a newspaper in his hand.

The younger brother was panting heavily.

"So Lin Yu... so Lin Yuhang is really going to become a farmer."

The younger brother waved the newspaper in his hand and handed it to Yang Jia:

"Look, big sister, this expanded front page headline is Lin Yu's latest masterpiece."

"When he talked to you that day, what he said about turning invasive alien species into valuable resources was not nonsense at all."

"He has already submitted it to Guangming Daily for nationwide promotion!"

Yang Jia, who was leisurely applying cucumber slices, was suddenly startled. He abruptly sat up in the rocking chair, grabbed the newspaper, and quickly began to read.

The headline reads:

Strengthening the ecological security defense line and guarding against invasive alien species

This newspaper was heavy, unlike the usual weight of the Guangming Daily.

Yang Jia glanced at it quickly.

All the reprinted pages were related to invasive alien species.

This was an idea that Lin Yu had discussed with him that day.

When plants and animals from other countries are transplanted to other countries, they can expand rapidly due to the lack of natural predators in the food chain, leading to the gradual collapse of the native food chain.

At that time, Yang Jia didn't take it to heart.

After all, such remarks are rarely heard.

When Lin Yu said he wanted to abandon science and go into farming, she was only half-convinced.

But now, seeing that most of the articles on the front page and in various sections of authoritative media like Guangming Daily were signed with Lin Yu's name, Yang Jia finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Quickly! Contact headquarters!"

"Ask other research areas if they have any updates on the research directions Lin Yu mentioned!"

Soon, reports came from other spies.

They said they couldn't find any of the research directions and achievements that Lin Yu had mentioned.

Yang Jia had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, a while later, the expert team sent a message.

"Although it's hard to believe, we have to suspect that all those research directions you've heard about were Lin Yu's own ideas."

"He is the kind of truly top-notch scientific genius that only appears once every few centuries."

"No, someone as versatile as him can't even be described as a genius."

"He can be called the Gauss of the scientific world."

The Japanese professors issued a strict order:

"This kind of genius needs his passion for scientific research rekindled!"

"Only in this way can we steal the truly good stuff! And even gradually pull him into our camp."

Yang Jia thought to himself, "You all talk a good game, but how can this kind of thing be accomplished?"

"Isn't he trying to research artificial intelligence?"

"We've acquired those three Cray mini-supercomputers. Yang Jia, your task now is to entice him back to scientific research!"

"If you can't do it, then commit seppuku!"

Communication with Japan was cut off again. Yang Jia gritted his teeth and decided to take the initiative to find Lin Yu this time.

The basement

Lin Yu has almost finished copying the code and is currently making some modifications.

After telling Song Shu about the invasive species that day as part of his performance review, he never paid attention to it again.

After he returned to this era, he never saw any propaganda on this topic.

They simply assumed that people in this era had not yet recognized the dangers of invasive alien species.

Just in order to trick Yang Jia into thinking he was going to work in agriculture, he took advantage of this opportunity to bring his knowledge of invasive species directly into this era.

He wouldn't have remembered the invasive species if it hadn't happened to be discussed that day.

The proliferation of red imported fire ants, plecos, and golden apple snails in later generations would be very serious. It would be best if we could nip these problems in the bud now.

Lin Yu didn't expect the outcome to be so quick, since he had only made a few words and wasn't even sure if his article would be accepted by the People's Daily.

This item wasn't valued at the time, and it would probably take some time to verify its authenticity.

Just as he was fixing the code, the basement door suddenly burst open.

Song Shu waved a newspaper and ran over enthusiastically, the sunlight streaming down her face.

"Lin Yu! Look! Your article is on the front page!"

"And the entire page is filled with the invasive alien species you listed earlier."

Lin Yu was taken aback upon hearing this. It's only been a few days?

The theory of invasive alien species is not difficult, but it still needs to be verified.

Song Shu ran over excitedly, her face flushed, and handed the newspaper to Lin Yu.

"I knew what you said made sense!"

"I contacted a teacher who was an editor-in-chief and submitted the manuscript directly. Sure enough, the teacher paid special attention to it."

"We gathered a team and filled the page with content within three days."

"The biology experts my advisor summoned said they're going to hold a major conference to specifically discuss the issue of invasive alien species!"

Song Shu smiled brightly, as if she had written the article herself.

"My mentor asked me to ask you if you wanted to participate as well, but my father stopped me. He said you were his student and he had no intention of going to farm."

At this point, Song Shu covered her mouth and laughed, showing no respect for Professor Song.

They weren't afraid that Professor Song's behavior would offend Lin Yu.

Sure enough, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Professor Song had shouldered all the storms from the outside world.

"That's good. I was just thinking of having a small cover."

"I didn't expect it to attract so much attention so quickly."

Song Shu glanced at Lin Yu with her clear black and white pupils:

"You're joking again. How could a theory like yours only get a small section of space?"

Lin Yu fell silent.

Is this a cutting-edge research theory?

No, invasive species can be said to require virtually no technological expertise.

It's just that no one noticed until the bullet reached their forehead.

Anyone in later generations can talk about this.

He has always been merely a conveyor of knowledge, and not even that; he is not a true master of all disciplines, and he only knows the names of most theories.

But if he manages to hook up that Clay supercomputer, he will truly be able to dominate the entire field.

Song Shu put the newspaper down on Lin Yu's shoulder and then ran off in a flurry.

If Lin Yu wants to enjoy the seclusion in this basement, someone has to handle the aftermath outside. Most of the content in the previous manuscript was dictated by Lin Yu and recorded by Song Shu. Now, besides Lin Yu, the person who knows the manuscript best is Song Shu.

Setting the newspaper aside, Lin Yu continued fixing the code.

Maintain composure in the face of important events.

He wrote about this invasive alien species for two reasons: first, to remind the country to be vigilant against invasive alien species—once the country knows, the matter will be easy to handle, and he won't need to worry about it at all.

Secondly, it was to give Yang Jia a deep impression—that he needed to put pressure on the other side in order to get good stuff out.
