Wanjie Shop 26 New Chapter

After a brief silence at the press conference, louder discussions broke out.

The reporters looked at each other, their recorders and cameras still pointed at the black screen, as if they had not yet recovered from the words revealed by Academician Li.

No one paid attention to what the person in charge said afterwards.

This was a live broadcast, and in addition to the people on site, netizens who were watching the press conference could no longer sit still.

In just half an hour, the related hot search topics on the Internet changed again and again.

Topics such as #Xie Yunsui's Spark# and #Academician Li's New Student# have become hot searches one after another.

Xie Yunsui's past was previously exposed when he was on The Light of the Unknown, so someone quickly pushed to the front page what the "such a major blow" that Academician Li mentioned was.

A major earthquake took away relatives and friends, and schools and houses were reduced to ruins, just before the important college entrance examination.

"Fuck, I went crazy when something like this happened!"

"That was a devastating earthquake that went down in history. I heard that many survivors didn't make it and died of depression two or three years later."

"He's so mentally strong!"

"If he can get into college, he will succeed in everything he does!"

"I still can't imagine how he got involved with Academician Li. Is there some conspiracy?"

"No, buddy, do you think Academician Li, with his current status, position, and ability, would be deceived by Xie Yunsui? Perhaps you think there's some way you can coerce or bribe Academician Li into giving Xie Yunsui a backdoor?"

"So, are you really participating in research with Academician Li?"

"Does Academician Li have an idea in mind? Or is he already in the middle of research?"

“Aaaaaah, it’s so cruel to stop talking halfway!!”

The topics #Looking forward to Academician Li’s research results# and #Academician Li and Xie Yunsui’s joint research# have caught the hearts of countless people.

At this time, inside the research base.

“Yes! It works!”

"Related searches have increased by 500%. The discussion and influence generated by the new bricks are even greater than during the previous Light of the Nameless phase."

"The international influence has also increased with the emergence of new bricks. Academician Li is the most discussed, followed by Xie Yunsui."

"Xie Yunsui's past information has been repeatedly searched, and some forces have been trying to track his recent whereabouts. Fortunately, they haven't been able to bypass our blocking authority."

Researchers in the data group discussed: "It seems that we can increase our efforts in the areas of 'ordinary people's counterattack', 'the rise of geniuses', and 'discerning heroes with discerning eyes'."

The people in the back row looked at the large holographic screen, their eyes passing through the data line graphs.

Li Wangruo came here just after disconnecting from the press conference.

Just by mentioning Xie Yunsui, the discussion about Xie Yunsui skyrocketed, which meant that their plan was feasible.

"Okay, I'll continue to follow up on this topic until the new research project is announced."

Reputation value is a topic that cannot be ignored. It can be said that as long as the Wanjie Shop exists, Xie Yunsui's influence must be continuously increased.

Because Wanjie Shop must remain confidential, the Propaganda Department put a lot of effort into how to increase Xie Yunsui's influence.

They originally wanted to make Xie Yunsui an internet celebrity or a star, but in the overall environment, the entertainment economy has declined significantly, and people would get tired of him being exposed too much for doing good deeds.

It was thanks to Xie Yunsui's determination to make progress and venture into the scientific research circle that the Propaganda Department finally found the right direction.

-

The old calendar has turned a new chapter, but the earth is still covered with white.

This major cooling period will last longer than expected.

However, humans seem to have become accustomed to such weather, especially China. After new bricks were paved in various buildings and facilities in the country, activity venues outside residential areas have gradually been opened up.

After the policy of returning to work and school was announced, people's living standards gradually returned to the level before the disaster.

It’s just that the employment and teaching directions have unconsciously gained additional emphasis.

The proportion of agronomy, pharmacy, medicine, and animal husbandry majors has increased, while energy and technology are the eternal focus.

"Oh, Brother Rui, this exam is too difficult. I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on the graduate school I want."

Wu Rui raised his eyebrows: "I think it's okay."

"You think it's okay?!" the classmate next to him wailed, snatching the test paper from Wu Rui's hand. "How come the gap between people is even bigger than the gap between people and dogs! Since school started, I've stayed up until midnight every day, spent more time in the library than in the dorm, and filled at least three notebooks. Yet, I was stuck on a question about energy conversion efficiency, and you actually answered it. What's wrong with your brain?"

Wu Rui smiled and said nothing much. He just lowered his head and sorted out his notebook.

More than a year before the catastrophe, he and his family were still struggling to survive. Even so, he did not give up his professional studies.

So after the snowstorm, life got better day by day, and he plunged into the ocean of knowledge.

With electricity and internet, he can also contact his teachers. Before returning to school, he had been spontaneously delving into professional topics.

Notes? The notes he wrote were arranged by box.

Hard work pays off. His grades are outstanding and his tutor has recommended him to Yunxiao Institute of Science and Technology.

"Ding~" The phone vibrated and a new email popped up in the message bar.

"What?" The roommate came over to take a look and said, "Holy crap, Yunxiao Technology Research Institute! That's awesome! Brother Rui, you're going to be a researcher at Yunxiao from now on."

Wu Rui pursed his lips and tried hard to suppress his smile.

Yunxiao Technology is a newly established cutting-edge technology research institute with national support and close cooperation with the research team of Academician Li Wangruo.

Academician Li Wangruo is his idol, and what he really wants to join is Academician Li's research project group, but that is too far away, and his level is not enough to join it.

He would start by laying the foundation with Yunxiao Technology. As long as he worked hard, he might get the chance to be noticed by Academician Li again.

"Well, if you go to Yunxiao, will you be able to meet Xie Yunsui?" the roommate asked excitedly.

Wu Rui's smile faded: "Maybe."

"Hey, I wonder if I can get an autograph from this genius named Xie. Good brother, please do me a favor and get an autograph for me."

Xie Yunsui's counterattack story has been widely circulated on the Internet. He jumped from an ordinary university student to become the last disciple of Academician Li. That is an opportunity that many people dream of.

His roommates admired him very much. When Wu Rui knew that he could not continue studying, he would read the story of Xie Yunsui, and then he would regroup as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

But he always felt that Xie Yunsui was just lucky.

…

On the day he reported to Yunxiao Technology, Wu Rui dressed himself very neatly and took the subway to the research institute.

The screens on the subway were playing news flashes on a loop:

"…New thermal insulation materials have been fully integrated into the public transportation networks of major cities across China, and the perceived outdoor temperature has increased significantly compared to the same period last year…The Ministry of Agriculture has announced the latest progress in cold-resistant crop breeding…"

The new type of bricks is just the beginning, and more new thermal insulation building materials will be introduced later.

Such powerful thermal insulation performance is gradually liberating mankind from the confinement of extreme cold.

I saw some people wearing thin sweaters but not shivering from the cold.

A smile appeared in Wu Rui's eyes. All this was brought by Academician Li.

"Welcome everyone to the Yunxiao Research Institute. Here, the first things you need to remember are: discipline, confidentiality, and absolute obedience."

The new researchers were received by a middle-aged researcher with a serious expression. His name tag on his chest read "Level 3 Researcher: Zhao".

Researcher Zhao's voice was low, but it carried undeniable weight: "Your permissions will be gradually increased based on project contributions and confidentiality levels. Communication between different project teams is prohibited..."

After a lecture, Wu Rui received his own exclusive work badge and an exclusive authority bracelet.

The main page of his work badge was his photo, with "First-level Researcher: Wu Rui" written below.

The other side is the code of discipline, which is what Zhao just said.

"What is this bracelet?" asked a new researcher of the same period.

"This is your authorization device. All your information is recorded on it. It is required for all entry and exit of the institute. It also serves as our internal communicator. Of course, it also has certain monitoring permissions. Finally, it connects to our institute's artificial intelligence: Xiguang. Next, let Xiguang guide you to familiarize yourself with this place."

Several newly joined first-level researchers looked at each other, and finally put on the bracelets one by one.

"Welcome to Yunxiao Technology, I'm Xiguang."

A mechanical sound came from the wall next to him. When Wu Rui got closer, he found that there were several holes in the wall, which should be embedded speakers.

"All first-level researchers, please follow my instructions and go to the research groups of the projects you are participating in."

The artificial intelligence Xiguang did not exchange polite greetings with humans, but directly lit up everyone's wristbands, with the lights of the wristbands varying in shades of green, red, blue and white.

Wu Rui's bracelet lit up with white light.

At the same time, four indicator lights in green, red, blue and white appeared on the surrounding walls, leading to four passages respectively.

…

Wu Rui didn't expect that the research institute had developed to this level. He followed Sui Xiguang's instructions all the way to the research group.

For any area that he has access to, Xiguang will also kindly provide an introduction.

Ten minutes later, Wu Rui stood outside the research group on the tenth floor of the institute and knocked on the door.

The door quickly opened, and an elite female researcher looked at him and said with a smile, "Welcome to our third testing team. I'm the team leader, Lin Yue."

She stretched out her hand swiftly, with the same bracelet on her wrist.

"Wu Rui, Xiguang has synchronized your information with us. The identity information of our team members will also be synchronized with you later. From now on, we will be partners fighting side by side."

Wu Rui hurriedly shook her hand. Seeing that this team leader was also a straightforward person, he felt a lot more relaxed.

He likes doing research and doesn't like those slick social interactions.

His roommate complained to him on the first day of joining the new company. It took him a long time just to introduce himself and greet his colleagues on the morning of his first day at work. He was even urged to treat the entire group to a meal on the first day as a newcomer.

Phew, Yunxiao is still the best.

Lin Yue led him to the personal office. "That's your seat. The terminal has been activated, and Xiguang will give you the corresponding data interface and project document permissions. But for now, come with me to the meeting. Everyone is there. You're lucky. Academician Li's project team has sent someone to give us guidance today. It wouldn't hurt to listen."

Upon hearing this, Wu Rui quickened his pace and followed closely.

"Team Leader Lin, may I ask who it is?"

"Xie Yunsui."
