Jiang Chen didn't know that Yu Yi and Zhang Lei had such a conversation after he left, and he didn't know what Yu Yi was thinking. If he knew, he would probably smile bitterly, then shake his head and tell her that selecting researchers from all over the world was absolutely impossible, at least not in the next five years.
When he asked Yu Yi to join the team, he only revealed the general direction of Changjiang's research and development and a very simple Changjiang system model. It was not because he was too cautious or did not trust Yu Yi, but because Changjiang's programming language was not an existing programming language, but a universal programming language in the interstellar era - Star.T.
Star.T was named after the first letters of the new star system ST1101 and the planet T where humans first arrived, combining the meaning of stars and the beginning. It became the programming language jointly developed by humans after they entered the new star system and regained their technological civilization. Before that, almost all programming languages were restrictive and not suitable for the rebuilt interstellar era. However, Star.T was different. It combined the advantages of almost all programming languages and was suitable for all terminals and servers. It was called the most beautiful language in the interstellar era.
Even if Jiang Chen directly let Yu Yi see Changjiang's core code, Yu Yi could not understand anything, so he could only convert the code into the commonly used programming code and build a system model as a bargaining chip to attract Yu Yi to join the team.
Perhaps because the system model was simple to build, Yu Yi showed great interest in the project, but he did not really realize the true power of the Yangtze River, so he had such an idea.
The strength of the Yangtze River does not lie in one aspect of it having reached the top level in the world today, but in the omnipotence of all its abilities when added together. It can be said that owning the Yangtze River is equivalent to the entire country having the most powerful army, the most solid shield, and the most secretive and pervasive intelligence organization at the same time...
After the experiment, once the country truly understands the power of the Yangtze River, it will protect and hide this project team tightly. There will be no possibility of putting it on an international platform for researchers from all over the world to study it together.
Jiang Chen knew this very well, but unfortunately Yu Yi didn't know it, and even the people in the conference room only knew one or two things about it.
It was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon when Jiang Chen arrived at the He family's old house. He walked through the courtyard and saw Mr. He sitting by the pond fishing.
He turned around and walked to Mr. He's side, "Grandpa."
"Are you back?" Mr. He glanced at him and pointed to a small stool at the side. "Sit down."
Jiang Chen politely nodded to the old men who were also fishing, sat down next to Mr. He, and watched them fishing quietly.
The pond rippled, and a fishing line moved up and down. The owner of the fishing rod immediately reeled in the line and caught a black fish as long as an adult man's arm. The old man who caught the fish smiled from ear to ear, and after putting the fish into the bucket, he said proudly: "I didn't expect that today would be the first fish I caught."
Mr. He glanced at him calmly, and then snorted and said sourly, "It's worth being happy if you can catch one out of ten times."
The old man who caught the fish was not angry. He picked up the bucket and walked to Jiang Chen's side, saying with a smile: "Here, this is a gift from Grandpa."
Jiang Chen was stunned. Before he took his eyes off the fish, he heard someone say, "Lao Zhang, a fish is the only gift you're giving me?"
Following the sound, Jiang Chen saw Mr. Xiang wearing a wide-brimmed fisherman's hat. He was pleasantly surprised and surprised: "Grandpa Xiang."
Mr. Xiang took off his hat, walked over to Jiang Chen, bent over with his hands behind his back to examine the fish in the bucket, then stood up and said, "Stingy."
"It's OK as long as the recipient doesn't think I'm stingy." Mr. Zhang looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Xiaochen, are you satisfied with this gift from grandpa?"
Before Jiang Chen could say anything, Mr. He on the side said, "The gift you gave to my grandson is fish from my pond. Do you think he is satisfied?"
Jiang Chen, who received a fish not long after he sat down, was a little confused about the situation facing the energetic old man in front of him, but since it was a gift for meeting, a fish was also good.
If it is too expensive, he doesn't know how to refuse.
"I like it very much." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you."
Mr. Zhang had been observing Jiang Chen, and clearly saw the whole process from his momentary confusion to his quick recovery and frank thanks. He has a very good character, thinking this, Mr. Zhang laughed a few times, casually took out a jade pendant from his trouser pocket, and handed it to Jiang Chen, "Two, eat one and keep the other."
After Jiang Chen saw the jade pendant in the old man's hand, he hesitated slightly. The jade pendant, which was carved with a fish leaping over the dragon gate, was made of transparent jade and the carving was exquisite. It was obviously very valuable at first glance. It was a bit too expensive to be used as a gift.
"That's more like it." Mr. Xiang patted Jiang Chen's arm and said with satisfaction, "Take it."
Jiang Chen paused, took the jade pendant and thanked him again. He finally figured it out. These old men were probably gathered here by Mr. He. He would take the college entrance examination soon, and his identity would not be concealed after the examination. Now Mr. He gathered these old friends together, probably to meet him in advance and let him recognize people in advance.
Just as he thought, Mr. He quickly introduced another old man to him: "This is Grandpa Han, this is Grandpa Zhang, and there is another one you already know, Grandpa Xiang. They are all good friends of your grandmother and I for many years. Today they are here to give you a gift."
After Mr. He finished speaking, Mr. Han handed the key in his hand to Jiang Chen with a satisfied look on his face: "Grandpa has nothing to give you. This is a house in Fengshan. The location is not bad. You can live there when you go to college, and you can also use it when you get married."
Since he had accepted Mr. Zhang's gift, Jiang Chen naturally would not be shy anymore. After taking Mr. Han's key, he calmly thanked him.
Mr. Xiang leaned close to Jiang Chen and whispered, "You will know what I gave you in a few days."
Jiang Chen saw the mysterious expression on Mr. Xiang's face, paused, something flashed through his mind, and he felt that it was unlikely. He laughed to himself that he had guessed too much, and said calmly: "Okay."
Several old gentlemen stayed in the old house for the whole afternoon. After meeting Jiang Chen and chatting with him for a while, they were taken back by people from their respective families. They were all aware that today was the He family's family dinner, so they did not disturb him.
A small incident happened during this period. The person who came to pick up Mr. Han and Mr. Xiang was the same person. When Jiang Chen saw the two old men walking together, he thought they were just passing by. It was not until Han Qiya called Mr. Han grandpa that he realized that Mr. Xiang was Han Qiya's grandfather and Mr. Han was her biological grandfather.
Under such circumstances, Han Qiya naturally knew Jiang Chen's identity. Before the two old men got in the car, she stopped Jiang Chen and chatted with him for a while. The topics they talked about were what strangers who were not very familiar with each other would talk about. It was neither awkward nor offensive. Although Jiang Chen was surprised why she stopped him on purpose, he did not think much about it and just answered her questions politely.
Before leaving, Han Qiya suddenly asked, "Did you know that you and I are engaged?"
Jiang Chen's mind suddenly popped up the words that Shen Xu had teased him with before. After his expression changed slightly, before he could say anything, he saw Han Qiya smiled and said, "It seems you know."
Having said that, there is no need to deny it.
"I've heard a little about it."
Han Qiya nodded and asked him with a smile: "Do you have someone you like?"
Jiang Chen paused and did not answer.
Seeing him like this, Han Qiya smiled and said, "Then I will just pretend you don't have it."
Jiang Chen restrained his smile and said politely but distantly: "No matter that I don't have anyone I like, I think the engagement is just a joke between elders."
"That's not necessarily true." Han Qiya leaned closer to Jiang Chen and whispered, "Look over there."
Jiang Chen took a half step back and looked in the direction she pointed, only to see Mr. He, Mr. Han and Mr. Xiang looking at this side with smiles on their faces.
He took another half step back, lowered his eyes and said, "Sorry."
The smile on Han Qiya's face faded a little. She bit her lip and smiled again: "It doesn't matter. We are not familiar with each other now. It's normal for you to reject me."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Before he could say anything, the girl turned and ran away. She waved to him as she ran and said with a smile, "We'll see each other again soon!"
Not long after the old people left, He Qianyu came back from the dance class. She chattered around Jiang Chen, asking him if he could accompany her to the amusement park during the summer vacation, and asking him if the Jiang family's newly born little sister had grown up a little. Jiang Chen followed him wherever he went, like a little tail.
When dinner was about to start, other people also arrived at the old house one after another. The last one to return was He Qianjian. It might be because of the distance to the school, or it might be because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet - although he had removed the plaster, he still had to use a single crutch to walk.
As soon as He Qianjian entered the old house, he saw Jiang Chen. His hand that was leaning on the crutch paused, new and old hatreds surged up at the same time, and he almost swung his crutch at him.
Fortunately, the system reminded him in time: [If you want to stay in the He family, I suggest you calm down. ]
[I know.] He Qianjian's chest rose and fell for a while, he retracted his gaze and walked inside with his head down: [Now is not the time to deal with him, I won't let him catch me again.]
The system's voice was even colder than before: [It's good that you know this. I don't have the extra energy to clean up your mess right now. I hope you can take care of yourself. There are still three mock tests in ten days. If you want to continue using the system's optimal selection function, you'd better find it as soon as possible...]
Jiang Chen raised his eyes and looked in the direction where He Qianjian was walking away, his eyes flickering slightly, as if thinking about something.
What is the optimal selection function? And what does the system allow him to find?
He suddenly realized that he had discovered a system function that he had never known about before. He even wanted to get up and follow He Qianjian, and listen to his conversation with the system from a certain distance. However, it would be too obvious to get up and follow him at this time.
"elder brother."
"elder brother?"
"elder brother!"
Jiang Chen came back to his senses and turned to look at He Qianmin: "What's wrong?"
"What were you thinking about just now? I called you several times but you didn't hear me." He Qianmin handed the phone to Jiang Chen and motioned for him to look at it. "Isn't there still a week before your third mock exam? Now everyone is discussing who will get first place in this third mock exam. Basically everyone in our school is betting on you, you see."
Jiang Chen glanced at the content of the forum, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you still betting?"
"They started betting after the first mock test." He Qianmin suddenly laughed and said, "Before, everyone in Chenghua was betting on He Qianjian to be first, but he never got first place. In the second mock test, he was even surpassed by a guy named Zhang Liang in their class. I wonder what he thinks now."
Jiang Chen rubbed his head amusedly: "So happy?"
"Of course." He Qianmin came over and said, "Brother, can you get first place in the third mock test this time?"
"What do you think?"
"Absolutely! I must!"
"What do you absolutely have to have?" Yang Yun cut some fruit and placed it on the coffee table in front of them. He smiled and said, "Dinner will be served in about half an hour. Eat some fruit first."
He Qianmin said: "We are discussing whether my brother can get first place in the third mock test this time."
"Is that so? Then mom also believes that you can do it."
Jiang Chen pursed his lips and smiled, not deliberately being modest: "I also believe I can do it."
He Yanya sat down opposite Jiang Chen and listened to them. Suddenly, she said to Jiang Chen, "I heard that the project you were working on has been completed."
Jiang Chen nodded. He was not surprised how He Yanya knew about this. Although she was at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and her research direction had nothing to do with computers, the entire Yan City's scientific research circle was so small and gossip resources were extremely scarce, so the slightest movement could easily spread.
He said calmly: "It has been deployed to the special forces for testing. After the test is successful, it will be deployed to the public security system."
He Yanya looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated look, "You completed a project that was supposed to take two years in just half a year. You are amazing."
She had actually heard of Jiang Chen long before he returned to the He family. At that time, the news of the van chasing and crushing a teenager in the street at Chengyang Square was known to everyone in Yan City. Moreover, on the day when Jiang Chen had the accident, He Yanfeng put pressure on the task force through He Yanjun. As a member of the He family, she knew about this first, and it was also the first time she heard the name Jiang Chen.
Later, her best friend told him that a talented young man was parachuted into the 17th Research Institute. His identity was mysterious and he was in charge of a project alone when he was a teenager. This project was led by Major General Wu, which shows how much importance he attached to it. Later, her good friend joined Jiang Chen's project team. When she mentioned Jiang Chen, she changed from casually saying a few words to praising him now. It was a huge change.
He Yanya is Jiang Chen's aunt, but most of her understanding of him comes from other people, which makes her feel complicated about Jiang Chen. But no matter what happened before, she has to admit that her feelings towards Jiang Chen are mostly admiration. After all, he is definitely a rare scientific research material.
Jiang Chen didn't know that He Yanya had a lot of thoughts in her mind at that moment. He nodded slightly: "Thank you."
He Yanya nodded and didn't talk to him any more.
At half past six, the He family started dinner on time. When the family dinner began, He Qianjian appeared from nowhere. Jiang Chen listened carefully and saw that he was not talking to the system at this time, so he withdrew his attention from him.
Jiang Chen didn't care about He Qianjian, but He Qianjian was always paying attention to Jiang Chen's every move. Seeing him chatting with He Yanfeng in a leisurely manner, he could tell from the occasional words that He Yanfeng was concerned about whether he could quickly adapt to school after missing classes for so long, and that he was very confident in his third mock exam results.
Before Jiang Chen returned to the He family, such conversations would only take place between him and He Yanfeng, but now that Jiang Chen is back, everything has changed. Everything that originally belonged to him has become Jiang Chen's.
[If you are sure that I find promethium, I will definitely be the top scorer in science in the college entrance examination. ]
He Qianjian's voice suddenly sounded, and Jiang Chen's eyelashes moved slightly.
Po? Po?
Jiang Chen thought about the words behind this pronunciation in his mind while listening attentively.
The system's cold electronic voice: [Confirmed.]
[Okay.] He Qianjian picked up a piece of fish and chewed to hide the coldness in his eyes: [I will definitely help you find it, but you are always offline recently. I don’t believe that you will appear in time to help me during my college entrance examination, so I want you to promise me that you must be online all day during the two days of my college entrance examination.]
The system was silent for a while, then said: [I can promise you.]
He Qianjian felt relieved. As long as the system promised, it would never fail to keep its promise. The last math competition should have been just an accident.
However, the system had been offline frequently recently, which still made him very uneasy. No matter how he asked, the system would not tell him the reason. The confusion further magnified his uneasiness, and he even had a vague premonition that something was out of control.
Thinking of this, He Qianjian asked again without giving up, but he changed the way he asked: [You said you encountered some minor troubles before, have you solved them? ]
[It will be resolved soon.] The system replied quickly, probably because it was annoyed by He Qianjian's frequent posts, and added a sentence that was not sure if it was comforting: [The civilization level of the host's planet does not have any technology that can pose a threat to me, you don't need to worry.]
He Qianjian did believe this before, but after the system lost connection many times and bugs occurred at important times, he was not so sure. If there is really nothing in this world that can threaten the existence of the system, then what are the small troubles that it has to solve during this period?
Also, are small troubles really just small troubles?
When He Qianjian was getting anxious, Mr. He put down his chopsticks. Seeing that most people at the table had almost finished eating, he spoke: "Xiaochen, we have decided to hold a banquet the day after you finish the college entrance examination to announce your identity."
Jiang Chen also put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Mr. He without saying a word.
He knew very well what Mr. He meant. Holding a banquet the next day meant that he would have to confront his parents after the college entrance examination. Regardless of whether they could accept this fact or not, the He family's banquet would be held as scheduled.
This was the result he had agreed upon with the He family at the beginning, and he would not object.
"I know, Grandpa."
Mr. He nodded with satisfaction, and casually mentioned another matter: "I heard that there were some misunderstandings between you and Qian Jian."
A hint of pride flashed across He Qianjian's eyes, and he stared at Jiang Chen, wanting to see how he would answer.
He has lived and worked in the He family for eighteen years, and the person who knows him best is not He Yanfeng and Yang Yun, but Mr. He, who brought him up for a period of time when he was a child. This is because he knows very well who is the boss of the entire He family. If he can win over the person who gives orders, he can naturally bring more protection for future changes.
This moment is the reward for his past efforts.
Mr. He wanted the family to be harmonious and united, so he naturally didn't like the brothers to be at odds. He was able to gain the upper hand every time he confronted He Qianmin, precisely because he grasped this point and interpreted a gentle, generous and helpless brother to the core, which made the hysterical He Qianmin who hated him so much look willful and narrow-minded. With such a comparison, anyone would choose to believe the former.
Therefore, He Qianjian had never had a head-on confrontation with Jiang Chen in front of the He family before. He knew very well that he was now in a weak position and would definitely be the one to suffer if he went against Jiang Chen. However, he did not expect that Jiang Chen would blatantly break into the He family, break his legs and force him to jump off the building.
In this case, how could he not make good use of this opportunity to make Jiang Chen's status in Mr. He's heart plummet, make the He family feel guilty about him, and consolidate his position in the He family.
Kill three birds with one stone.
He Qianjian concealed the anger and pride in his eyes, and waited calmly for Jiang Chen's answer.
Jiang Chen wiped his mouth slowly and said calmly: "It's not a misunderstanding. He smashed my friend's head with a stool, and I broke his leg with a table. It's just tit for tat."
