Chapter 673: A National Treasure (Two chapters combined)
Upon entering the experimental workshop, Gu Yin was astonished by its sheer size! Looking up, she realized it was at least six stories high! Inside, there were not only experimental tables but also various model parts, such as fighter jet wings and spaceship hulls!!!
Gu Yin was amazed as she toured the place! This place was different from the research institutes in the Gobi Desert. Those institutes gave off a sense of mystery and the unknown, while this place gave off a sense of power! The nation's most important equipment was made from these materials!
Professor Tian touched the models and smiled, "How do you feel?"
Gu Yin exclaimed in admiration: "A national treasure!"
Everyone else laughed; that was the highest compliment they could receive!
"You haven't been to Harbin Engineering University; that's where the real heavyweights are!" Professor Zhong said with a smile.
Gu Yin shook her head: "Each one is indispensable, and any objections are equally important!"
Seeing the sparkle in Gu Yin's eyes, Professor Xie stepped forward and teased, "How about it? Regret it now? I told you to come here, but you wouldn't. You're smart; it's not too late to come here for graduate school. I'll apply for a guaranteed admission for you!"
Gu Yin said helplessly, "Wherever we are, it's all for the country and the people. Our positions and responsibilities may differ, but our beliefs are the same."
Professor Gu smiled and agreed, "Well said! We're all shining brightly for the people and the country; it's the same no matter where we are!"
The other professors were even more satisfied with Gu Yin. At such a young age, her awareness was so high! She was remarkable! Many geniuses in the gifted classes of top universities across the country, as well as in various laboratories, who were the same age as Gu Yin or a little older, did not have this level of awareness!
Many people think that doing good experiments is for fame. Only after going deep into the laboratory will they find that various materials and technologies are jointly blocked by foreign countries, feel frustrated and upset, understand the difficulties of the country, and have a sense of mission to "study for the rise of China"!
Professor Tian glanced at the time; it was getting late. He then looked at Gu Yin and said, "There are many interesting things here, and there are also some documents. Take a look yourself. We'll get back to work. If you have any questions, just ask us. Is that alright?"
Gu Yin quite liked this freedom of arrangement, so she nodded and said, "No problem!"
After that, everyone got busy, and more and more researchers came in. Gu Yin slowly began to tour the laboratory.
While watching and taking notes, the lab staff were happy to answer Gu Yin's questions.
After working in the lab for three days, Gu Yin finally figured out what she wanted to know. She then told Xie Tianhua and went to her own lab next door.
Once Gu Yin entered the lab, she forgot to eat. In the past, someone would remind her in Beijing. After she came here, Chu Yan asked Yang Yan and a few others to keep an eye on her. But as soon as she entered the lab, Yang Yan could not be contacted and could not go to the lab.
Those who came along originally thought that Xie Tianhua would arrange an assistant for Gu Yin to take care of her life, but Xie Tianhua did not make such an arrangement. They were speechless. After seeing that Gu Yin had not eaten all day, one of them came out from the shadows and approached Xie Tianhua.
Xie Tianhua looked bewildered: "She's not going to eat? Why? Could it be that she's trying to lose weight like young people these days?! She's not fat at all!!"
The visitor was exasperated: "Comrade Zhou has a habit unique to researchers. Once she gets into an experiment, she loses track of time. If no one brings her food, she won't go out to eat or even eat at all. She'll stay up all night. To ensure her health, people in Beijing remind her. Now that she's here, we'll have to trouble you to arrange a personal assistant for her. She doesn't need to do anything, just bring her food during mealtimes and call her out to eat. Comrade Zhou prefers quiet, so it would be best to arrange someone who is quiet, honest, and follows the rules."
The man left after he finished speaking.
Xie Tianhua looked helpless. He thought that at Gu Yin's age, eating should be a huge attraction for them! Eating first, sleeping second, and experiments third. But this kid has directly entered the ranks of old researchers!
Remembering the man's words, Xie Tianhua returned to the lab and looked at Xiang Nan: "Xiang Nan, have you been busy lately?"
Xiang Nan stood up and nodded: "Professor Xie, the professor has started a new research project. I'm now part of the core team, so I'll be very busy. What's wrong?"
Professor Xie waved his hand upon hearing this: "Then you go ahead with your work. Oh, by the way, do you know any female students, the quiet, honest, and well-behaved type?"
Xiang Nan exclaimed in surprise, "Professor Xie, are you looking for an assistant? Please tell me your requirements in detail, and I'll look for one for you!"
Professor Xie shook his head: "No, it's about Gu Yin. She needs a personal assistant, someone who can bring her three meals a day."
"I see!" Xiang Nan thought for a moment, then blinked and said, "I have someone here who I think is quite suitable!"
In the laboratory, Gu Yin operated the equipment while simultaneously monitoring the data on the computer and the surrounding devices, making adjustments as needed.
If anyone saw this, they'd be horrified! This kind of project usually requires six or seven people working together! But right now, Gu Yin is doing all this work by herself!
Working until dawn, the new material was finally finished! Without delay, Gu Yin went straight to the laboratory in the system library, found the most advanced lithography machine in the world, manipulated the material she had prepared, took it off the lithography machine, put her own material in to fuse, and when it was almost ready, Gu Yin started the equipment, and the lithography machine immediately burst into sparks!
Gu Yin frowned: "It still doesn't work!"
001 flew over and tilted its head: "Why don't you build this lithography machine first, and then study how to surpass or replace it? Even if you don't find a material that can replace it, if you research something from another country, it's still considered that you've developed a lithography machine. The research data can be handed over to the country and let others do the work. Isn't that better?"
Gu Yin sighed and shook her head: "It's good, but it's not difficult to develop a lithography machine. The difficulty lies in the materials. It's better to have our own than others. As long as we have the materials and talent, we won't be afraid no matter how fast the lithography machine is updated. If we don't have our own materials and talent, even if I develop this lithography machine, it's useless without the materials. We'll still have to buy it from abroad. Because we don't have the most advanced lithography machine, the next ten years will see a 'chip war.' Even if other countries help, they won't help for free. What we could buy for one dollar before will cost 100 dollars later. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to improve our country's education, elderly care, and medical care? We are constrained by too many things! And when other countries develop even more advanced ones, the restrictions on our country will not only be limited to materials!"
Gu Yin emerged from the virtual world and looked at 001: "Someone has to walk this path. Anyone can walk it, but time waits for no one, so only I can walk it! Before my rebirth, I only saw my family. I wanted to change my fate, I wanted revenge. After I had avenged my hatred, I was confused for a while. I'm not smart, I don't have any grand ambitions, and I'm quite selfish. But when I think about graduating from a prestigious university, getting married, working in my family's company, having a child, and living out my life, I feel uneasy. If I have a treasure trove but don't know how to use it, then I'm too foolish. Since I have this ability, I must do my best to reach the top, so that my voice will be heard. I came from the countryside, I came from a remote mountain village, and I want my words and thoughts to be valued! I also want my country to reach the top and have decision-making power in the international arena! I don't want those countries to keep eyeing us covetously, I don't want those powerful countries to carry out inhumane bombings on small countries for a simple reason! I believe the meaning of my rebirth is not just about changing my family's fate."
After leaving the country through the system, Gu Yin continued with her work.
001 clasped his hands together, hovering in mid-air, quietly watching Gu Yin. His expression shifted from shock to confusion, then to admiration. Soon after, the blue light in his eyes began to flash rapidly.
"Warning! Warning! System data anomaly! Please return to the Main God System immediately for maintenance! Please return to the Main God System immediately for maintenance! Warning! Warning! The system cannot return automatically! The Main God System has been contacted!"
"What are you getting so worked up about! I'm busy, okay! I shouldn't have accepted your deal in the first place! This is so annoying!" An annoyed female voice rang out in the system space, and with a flash of white light, 001 disappeared.
Gu Yin, who was outside, was completely unaware of the situation and was still busy with her experiments.
At the laboratory door, Duya rang the doorbell. A moment later, the door opened, and Gu Yin came out.
Seeing the asphalt at the entrance, Gu Yin asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Asphalt held up his lunchbox: "I got this from the cafeteria; it's lunchtime."
Gu Yin frowned: "Thank you, but no need, I'm not hungry." After saying that, she closed the door and continued with her work.
Seeing her cold demeanor, Limu was taken aback. Before she could react, the door was closed.
Asphalt frowned and continued knocking on the door, already prepared to be scolded.
Hearing the knock at the door, Gu Yin frowned and opened it again: "Get to the point, I'm busy."
Seeing her tone was unpleasant, Asphalt immediately explained, "Professor Xie asked me to bring this over. From now on, if you eat breakfast here, I'll be responsible for bringing it to you for all three meals a day! This is an arrangement from above. Professor Xie said that because you didn't eat anything all day yesterday and stayed up all night last night, he was reprimanded by his superiors. Professor Xie said that if you don't eat on time, he won't dare let you stay at Harbin University anymore. If you go back looking thin, he's afraid he'll be bombed. He's telling you to be obedient."
As he said the last sentence, Asphalt almost laughed. These were indeed the words Professor Xie had told him to say, which made him feel that Zhou Guyin was like a child who still needed to be supervised by her parents.
Gu Yin felt a little guilty upon hearing this. She was quite helpless because Xie Tianhua had been scolded for not eating on time. She was genuinely busy and forgot. When you're busy, you don't think about being hungry. However, she was indeed hungry at the moment, so she reached out and said, "Give it to me, thank you."
Asphalt handed her the lunchbox: "This is what I should do. By the way, I'm sorry about what happened that day."
Gu Yin waved her hand casually: "I don't mind. Okay, you can go now. I'll take the food out tonight after I finish eating. You don't need to bring me any food tonight. I'm going back to the hotel." She closed the door before Li Du could say anything.
Asphalt looked at the closed door and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was undeniable that Zhou Guyin was far superior to them; they were simply not on the same level as her. What he said that day was indeed brainless.
Gu Yin, inside the lab, ignored what the asphalt outside was thinking. After quickly finishing her meal, she immediately threw herself back into the experiment.
It wasn't until she produced a new material and was about to enter the system space that she discovered it was closed and she couldn't get in. Just as she was wondering what was going on, the words "Upgrading" appeared.
Gu Yin: "..." Fine, I guess I have no choice but to rest.
Looking at the time, it was already 8 p.m. Gu Yin packed her things, took her lunchbox, and left the lab.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Asphalt standing at the entrance, about to knock.
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows but remained silent.
Asphalt's eyes lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It's past dinner time. I was just about to knock on the door to call you out for dinner when you came out."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this, closed the door, and walked towards the exit: "So, you're my personal assistant now, too?"
Asphalt shook his head: "No, I also need to eat, and I eat on time every day. Professor Xie asked me to help you after he found out. Don't feel guilty, it's just something I can do."
He was the only researcher in the lab who ate on time, so when Xiang Nan and Professor Xie recommended him, he remembered that he hadn't apologized to Zhou Guyin yet, and he agreed as soon as Professor Xie mentioned it.
Gu Yin handed him the lunchbox: "I'm fine, I've already washed it, you can take it back." This is a lab lunchbox, it's meant to be returned to the lab.
Lili took the lunchbox, puzzled: "Aren't you going to eat in the cafeteria? Or should I get some back?"
Gu Yin shook her head and took out the temporary access card: "I'll go back first. I'll eat when I get back to the hotel. You go ahead and get busy. Goodbye!" After saying that, she put the card down and left the laboratory.
When Gu Yin woke up the next morning, she found that the system was still upgrading. Remembering the time it took to upgrade last time, Gu Yin could only wait patiently.
After arriving at the lab, instead of going back to the small lab to conduct experiments, they went to Xie Tianhua's lab to continue observing and learning.
When Xie Tianhua and the other professors came in, they saw Gu Yin discussing a problem with a researcher.
Professor Tian asked in surprise, "Why did you come over? Did something go wrong with the experiment?"
Gu Yin greeted them with a smile, then shook her head: "No, I've hit a bottleneck, so I've come here to continue learning!"
Professor Tian smiled and nodded: "Then continue your studies, and ask us if you have any questions!"
Professor Tian didn't really think Gu Yin would make much progress in this field, since it had only been a few days, so he didn't ask her about the progress of the experiment.
At lunchtime, Gu Yin ate with Xiang Nan. Yang Yan and the others weren't at school today, and since Xiang Nan also needed someone to eat with, they ate together.
Seeing this, Asphalt, which was standing nearby, also followed.
After arriving at the dining hall, Gu Yin and Xiang Nan had just sat down when Duli came over with a tray of food.
Is nobody here?
Xiang Nan shook his head: "Don't you usually eat asphalt in the lab?"
Asphalt sat down and looked at her: "I don't want to go today. It'll be easier to digest when I walk back after eating. Sitting all day isn't good for your health."
He nodded to the south.
Gu Yin remained silent and ate her meal quietly.
"Hey! Aren't you the young lady who sat next to Young Master Chu the other day?!"
A male voice came from the side. Gu Yin looked up and saw Zhang Lei and the captain sitting down at the empty table next to them with their trays.
The one speaking was the captain.
Gu Yin was surprised. After the incident at the hotel, the two of them were still hanging out together. She thought they would fall out after they got back!
