Chapter 119 Chapter 119 [Nanjing University of Technology] (Revised)...
Lin Yimu followed the members of NPU who came to pick them up to the arranged accommodation. Except for Professor Zheng who had a room of his own, everyone else had two people in a room. The person who shared the room with Lin Yimu was Professor Zheng's doctoral student, named Zhou Heyu, a cheerful young man.
After the two of them packed up the room they were going to stay in, Zhou Heyu smiled and said to Lin Yimu, "Finally it's done! Let's go have lunch. I'm starving now."
Lin Yimu looked at him with amusement and said, "When we were on the plane, didn't you say you weren't hungry at all? The dining cart passed by you several times and you pretended not to see it."
Zhou Heyu shrugged helplessly and said, "I can't help it. I really don't like airplane food and don't even want to touch it."
"As a scientific researcher, Brother Zhou, you are actually picky about food. Shouldn't you eat whatever is available and seize every opportunity to contribute to our country's scientific research?" Lin Yimu said coldly, giving Zhou Heyu a sidelong glance.
Zhou Heyu shook his head in disapproval, stretched out his index finger and waved it left and right, saying, "You don't understand this! Of course we can keep things simple at work, but we still have to have our own preferences in life, otherwise life will be so boring."
Lin Yimu looked at Senior Brother Zhou's confident way with amusement, and stopped arguing with him about this point. Instead, he stood up and said, "You're right, so do we still need to go downstairs for lunch now?"
"Of course, let's go, let's go! The professor will probably ask us to go to the laboratory soon, so let's get something to eat while we still have time." Zhou Heyu said as he hurried towards the door.
However, they were destined to miss their lunch today.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the dormitory and downstairs, they saw Professor Zheng talking to a man in military uniform. When his eyes swept towards them, he waved at them, and it was obvious that he was asking them to come over.
The two looked at each other, and Lin Yimu said with a smile: "It looks like you won't be able to have lunch today." After that, he walked towards Professor Zheng.
Zhou Heyu stood there and sighed, then quickly followed Lin Yimu in the direction of Professor Zheng.
The two men came to Professor Zheng, and Lin Yimu couldn't help but glance curiously at the man in military uniform next to him. But as soon as his gaze moved over, he was caught by the man's sharp eyes and looked at him. The coldness and murderousness in his eyes made Lin Yimu's whole body stiff and his scalp numb.
After looking away with difficulty, Lin Yimu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff body relaxed. He then looked at Professor Zheng and Senior Brother Zhou who were talking.
From their words, Lin Yimu knew why Professor Zheng called them over. To be precise, he called Zhou Heyu over, and Lin Yimu was just an addition.
Zhou Heyu is the most outstanding student of Professor Zheng. This time he also serves as the deputy team leader. He has followed Professor Zheng for the longest time, and he knows the flow field problems best besides Professor Zheng.
This time they came to participate in a space propulsion experiment with Northwestern Polytechnical University and USTC. The man who just spoke to Professor Zheng was the leader of USTC this time, and the reason they came to see Professor Zheng was related to this experiment.
Because they wasted too much time in this experiment, but had no way to solve the problem, they found Professor Zheng from the Department of Physics of Peking University to assist. Now that they have just arrived, the other party has come to ask for help, without even giving them time to rest, which shows how anxious they are.
After Professor Zheng finished arranging matters related to Zhou Heyu's experiment, he turned his attention to Lin Yimu and said seriously, "Xiaomu, I know you plan to study abroad in the future, so I will only let you come here to contact some unimportant data. But your sensitivity to numbers is far beyond that of ordinary people, and you have a talent for mathematics that is not inferior to physics. I hope you can be cautious with every piece of information you handle. Maybe with your joining this time, we can all have different gains."
Lin Yimu looked at Professor Zheng's serious expression and heard his hopeful words. His heart was filled with surging emotions, but along with it came an invisible pressure that made him feel very complicated.
After a long while, Lin Yimu suppressed his emotions and said apprehensively, "Professor, your expectations of me are too high. What if I can't help you this time?"
Unexpectedly, this time it was not Professor Zheng who answered, but the man in military uniform who had been silent all the time. He frowned and looked at Lin Yimu with scrutiny and said, "I know you. You are a famous genius boy recently. I hope you can live up to your reputation. This mission cannot afford to fail. If you don't have the ability, I advise you to quit now before you join the laboratory to avoid trouble."
Hearing the unfriendly words from the other party, Lin Yimu did not get angry. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the other party, saying seriously: "Sir, I think before participating in the experiment, no one knows whether they can solve the problem. It seems that it is not too much for me to ask this question. Why do you have to speak so harshly?"
The man in military uniform raised his sharp eyebrows when he heard Lin Yimu's words and said, "I hope your ability is as outstanding as what you said."
The man stopped paying attention to Lin Yimu and turned his gaze to Professor Jiang, who was standing aside and looking at the two of them in confusion, and Zhou Heyu, who looked embarrassed. His expression became cold again and he said, "Professor Zheng, I'll have to trouble you from now on."
Although Professor Zheng did not understand why the leader of the University of Science and Technology of China did not like Lin Yimu's appearance, he still responded politely, "This is what we should do. We are all contributing to the motherland. It's not hard at all."
"Okay, in that case, let's go to the lab and take a look at the situation now?" Although the man in military uniform asked in a questioning tone, his attitude was completely unquestionable.
Fortunately, this was not the first time that Professor Zheng had dealt with people from the University of Science and Technology of China. He knew that people from their school were all decisive and would not beat around the bush, so he did not care about anything. Without saying a word, he took Lin Yimu and Zhou Heyu and followed the man.
However, Professor Zheng had some doubts in his heart. Logically speaking, the other party should not know Lin Yimu. Even if he had heard of him a little, he should not be so hostile to him.
What Professor Zheng didn't know was that the reason why the man in military uniform had such a strong hostility towards Lin Yi Mu was, firstly, that when he saw Lin Yi Mu's childish face that looked so tender that water could be pinched out of it, he felt that Lin Yi Mu did not live up to his reputation and did not look like someone who could achieve so much; secondly, he felt that Lin Yi Mu was relying on Professor Zheng's relationship to gild himself and was trampling on the efforts of so many of them for so long, so he was very unhappy and looked down on him.
What's more, the man in military uniform actually had some complaints about Professor Zheng who wanted to bring Lin Yimu here, but considering that they would probably have to work together for a long time in the future, he did not show it, but his words and actions were inevitably tough.
Lin Yimu followed the professor in silence all the way. When they arrived at the laboratory building, the man in military uniform swiped the card hanging around his neck, and they arrived at their destination - the Turbulence Laboratory.
Looking at the laboratory which was more than twice as big as the Physics Laboratory of Peking University, Lin Yimu's eyes sparkled, and even the anger he had just received from the man in military uniform disappeared in an instant.
It seems that if it weren't for Professor Zheng, he would never have access to such a large-scale experimental project, especially one led by the country. The words of the man in military uniform seemed to have a deeper impact under the impact of this scene.
People without ability would never be able to participate in this experiment. He might be the youngest among so many people, and he was able to get here because of Professor Zheng's relationship. In their eyes, he might be someone who got here through the backdoor, so it's no wonder that the other party looks down on him.
After thinking this through, Lin Yimu's anger and arrogance for having everything going his way for so long disappeared. There are many people in this world who are better and more hardworking than him, just like the dozens of researchers busy in this laboratory.
After Lin Yimu calmed down, his temperament became more stable. Professor Zheng and Zhou Heyu, who were handing over the work to the relevant personnel, did not notice this. Instead, the leader of the University of Science and Technology of China, who was standing nearby, looked at Lin Yimu's current appearance with a flash of his eyes.
After Professor Zheng finished the handover with the previous researcher, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. The several researchers brought by Professor Zheng also began to get busy with their respective duties, while Lin Yimu helped collect and summarize data as before.
We were busy until the evening. Because the researchers from Kyoto University had just arrived today, in order to let them get familiar with other researchers and facilitate future cooperation, a welcome dinner was held in a nearby hotel tonight. When the time came, everyone put down what they were doing and attended the dinner.
Although everyone actually doesn't like this kind of occasion, necessary exchanges still have to take place. After all, scientific researchers are also human beings and need to socialize. However, compared to the dinners for rich people, the nature of their dinners is really just to communicate with each other, and even the topics discussed are related to the experiments.
This made Lin Yimu, who was participating in such an event for the first time, somewhat amazed.
"I didn't expect that everyone would come out to the dinner, and the topics they talked about were all related to the experiment. I thought there would be something different." After Lin Yimu looked around for a while and came to a conclusion, he said to Zhou Heyu who was beside him and looked accustomed to it.
Zhou Heyu stuffed food into his mouth and said, "What's so strange about this? Even if the occasion changes, we are still the same people. What else can we talk about besides the experiment? Just get used to it."
After saying that, he stuffed another big bite of food into his mouth. He hadn't eaten lunch today and had been busy until eight o'clock in the evening. He was already starving.
Lin Yimu was eating while looking around. After he finished eating, he turned around and went to the balcony to get some fresh air and daydream. He really didn't like this kind of occasion. Even if everyone was discussing research projects, it always reminded Lin Yimu of some things in the entertainment industry in his previous life, things he thought he had forgotten.
