Zhuang Li's pronouncement resonated like a huge bell in Qiao Yanan's ears, setting her mind ablaze with excitement. Cold sweat covered her forehead, and her hands trembled uncontrollably. But she subconsciously retorted, "What a joke! I'm the head of the R&D department. How could I not understand communications technology? Do you know how many scientific research results I produce in a year?"
Yes, Minister Qiao's scientific research results are indeed the most numerous and cutting-edge in the R&D department. Her ability is unquestionable. Thinking of this, everyone's doubts subsided.
Xuan Ming curled the corners of his lips in sarcasm.
Zhuang Li also smiled sarcastically: "Minister Qiao, since you have such strong scientific research capabilities, these problems should be easy for you, right? Please help us calculate them."
After all the talk, the topic came back to where it left off. No matter how Qiao Yanan argued, Zhuang Li had only one response: "If you can do it, go for it."
Six blank questions were still hanging on the screen. As long as Qiao Yanan could solve them, she would be able to prove herself. This was the quickest way.
For top experts in the field, even if it is a technology that has never been studied in depth, they can always deduce a general process based on their previous knowledge accumulation.
Teacher Zhuang's request wasn't a challenge; it was a sign of respect. If it were me, I'd take it. With that thought, everyone turned their attention back to Qiao Yanan.
The meeting room was very quiet. No one urged anyone, but everyone had the words "Hurry up and do the questions" written on their faces.
As Qiao Yanan remained in a stalemate, the seeds of doubt that had been sown just now began to take root and sprout in everyone's hearts.
Qiao Yanan remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was furious: "System, can I sell the news that Zhuang Li has developed 5G full-system technology to the United States and have them kill him?"
Xuan Ming's hands, which were formed into a tower, suddenly clenched into fists, and veins bulged out.
248 shook his head. "It's better not to, because only those present today will know this news. If Zhuang Li dies, Xuan Ming will definitely launch an investigation, and we are one of the suspects, which will seriously undermine our original plan. Given Xuan Ming's personality, he will not fall in love with a suspect."
"No matter what, I must destroy him!" Qiao Yanan's voice was full of resentment.
248: "Zhuang Li is indeed a huge obstacle. Xuan Ming cares about him far more than anyone else. I have observed that when Zhuang Li is present, Xuan Ming's eyes are always fixed on him, but Xuan Ming would never do this to others."
Qiao Yanan's eyes were bloodshot, and the sinister cruelty in his pupils could hardly be hidden.
She had no talent for scientific research, but she was a master at harming others. In just half a second, she devised a diabolical plan: "System, send the technologies Zhuang Li mentioned today to some American experts, allowing them to publish their papers first. By the time the papers are published, won't Zhuang Li be labeled a liar who plagiarized others' research? With intellectual property issues involved, Haiming Group won't be able to use his technology. Ultimately, they'll have to rely on my theories to build 5G. Then, everything will go according to our original plan."
I have to admit that when it comes to conspiracy and intrigue, Qiao Yanan's skills are at the doctoral level. Some people are born different from others and are rotten to the core.
Hearing these extremely vicious words, Xuan Ming really wanted to twist Qiao Yanan's head off with his own hands. But now he could do nothing.
Firstly, Qiao Yanan is one of the most outstanding young scientists in China and is protected by the government, so no one can touch her easily; secondly, even if she is transferred from the R&D department, her system can still learn about Hai Ming's every move through the Internet.
So even if she didn't attend the meeting today, Curly's technology would eventually be stolen by her system. After all, the construction of 5G is inseparable from the Internet.
Now that she had such a sinful thought, unless Xuan Ming immediately conjured up a gun and blew her head off, 248 would be able to transmit these technologies to the United States anytime and anywhere.
Xuan Ming pressed his forehead which was aching so much that he was about to burst with pain. For a moment he didn't know what to do.
At the same time, Zhuang Li saw that Qiao Yanan was always frozen in place, so he shook his head and said, "Minister Qiao, I don't know you, so I don't know how many amazing achievements you have made. But there is one thing I know for sure -"
He stared straight into Qiao Yanan's eyes and said, "A person who can't even understand the most basic professional terms can't produce scientific research results."
"Why do you say I don't understand technical terminology?" Qiao Yanan roared hoarsely. She was completely confident she could handle this challenge. Technical terminology wasn't some scientific secret; the system would always tell her the answer.
248 immediately responded: "The explanation of technical terms is completely fine. The Lord God does not care about this."
Zhuang Li smiled with interest, with one corner of his crimson lips raised. His hair, which had been completely combed back, now hung down in a strand, curling slightly on his temples. He looked evil and unruly, like a demon who was used to playing with people's hearts.
Seeing his expression, Qiao Yanan shuddered.
248's heart skipped a beat.
Zhuang Li tapped away on the keyboard, his tone casual, "Then please ask Minister Qiao to help me explain what this word means."
A large line of English letters appeared on the screen - 3D-MIMO
The engineers sitting on both sides of the long table almost immediately realized that this was a technology related to massive antenna arrays, because MIMO is the abbreviation of "multi-channel antenna system".
Compared with the six questions above, the difficulty of this question is much lower than that of the previous six questions. Anyone with a little knowledge of communication technology can answer it easily.
"Is Teacher Zhuang joking with Minister Qiao?" someone whispered.
However, Qiao Yanan's reaction made them realize this wasn't a joke, but a sharp thorn that pierced Qiao Yanan's disguise. She stood there in a daze, not immediately offering an answer. This was simply impossible for a top expert, like a pig farmer not knowing what a pig was. The scene was ridiculous and laughable.
Qiao Yanan shouted anxiously: "System, what does that mean? Tell me quickly!"
248 hissed for a long time before saying, "Host, I can't tell you."
Qiao Yanan's face almost cracked, "What did you say? It's just a professional term, why can't I say it!"
248 was helpless: "Host, Zhuang Li is even smarter than I thought! There are some things I can't explain to you, so let me explain it this way. This term is also a technology that has not yet appeared, and it is within the scope of my responsibility to disclose. This technology is the product of the in-depth development of another technology, and it is not a loophole, so I didn't notice it before. It is buried too deeply. I suspect Zhuang Li did this deliberately to force you to reveal yourself. After seeing through you, he came up with a series of plans."
"He's so scary! If he was the host I bound to in the beginning, I might have become a gold medal system long ago." 248 sighed with regret.
Xuan Ming was originally very nervous and angry, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but curl his lips. He knew the little curly hair skinning technique very well. It was truly lethal, layer by layer, leaving no blind spots.
"Which technology is the product of in-depth development? He should have mentioned it before, right?" Qiao Yanan asked anxiously.
"I can't tell you." 248 remained tight-lipped.
In fact, this technology is an evolved version of the previous large-scale antenna array technology. It can shape the beam in the vertical plane through the two-dimensional arrangement of large-scale antennas, greatly improving the transmission distance and range of 5G signals and making them intelligent.
Once 248 hinted at Qiao Yanan, she would most likely guess the term was 3D-MIMO massive antenna array. According to the Lord God's judgment, even if this unreleased technology was leaked from 248, it would be doomed, so it didn't dare to say a word.
Qiao Yanan was completely bewildered by 248's ruthlessness and screamed, "Isn't it just a technical term? Why can't it be leaked? This world's technological development has nothing to do with the Lord God! Why would he care so much? What do you want me to do now? Just guess? If I guess wrong, my image will be completely ruined!"
Xuan Ming silently admired her panicked, anxious, and nearly collapsed expression, and the anger that had been pent up in his heart was finally relieved a little.
The entire conference room became very quiet. Everyone looked at Qiao Yanan, who had not spoken for a long time. The seed of doubt in their hearts had quietly grown into a towering tree.
Zhuang Li tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Minister Qiao, you can't even understand the technical terminology. So here's the question: how did you achieve your scientific research results?"
Qiao Yanan stared at him with red eyes, her dry lips moved slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
248 Youyou sighed: "Don't make excuses, they won't believe it. Writing a paper without understanding professional terminology is like building a house without building materials. It's pure fantasy."
Qiao Yanan's body shook.
Zhuang Li turned to look at Xuan Ming and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Xuan, I think you need to thoroughly investigate Minister Qiao's situation. In my opinion, she is a complete layman."
After hearing this judgment, the engineers and scientists sitting on both sides of the long table did not raise any objections. Instead, they gathered together and whispered, casting disgusted glances at Qiao Yanan from time to time.
Xuan Ming nodded in agreement, but his heart was a mixture of admiration and worry. On the one hand, he was happy that Qiao Yanan had been disgraced; on the other hand, he was worried that she would become desperate and hurt Little Curly.
However, the next moment, a small memory card was stuffed into his hand.
Zhuang Li said calmly, "Last night I wrote a paper on some of the most basic technologies and submitted it to major journals. I've also submitted a patent application to the government. I heard the patent review process will be very troublesome, so I'll have to ask President Xuan for help to smooth things out. Global patents must also be processed simultaneously."
He thought for a moment and added, "As long as we master the basic patents, other countries will be unable to bypass us if they want to develop 5G. This is the underlying logic of technological development."
"I understand. From now on, we can maintain profitability just by collecting patent fees." Xuan Ming immediately held the precious memory card tightly. The worries and anxieties he had just felt disappeared without a trace.
He guessed that Curly must be a master chess player. While others were taking one step at a time, he was already looking towards the end of the world. Therefore, even the powerful system was helpless against him.
Hearing their conversation, 248 woke up Qiao Yanan from her trance: "Your plan has failed again. Zhuang Li submitted his research findings as a paper last night and applied for a patent. It's useless for me to sell his technology to the US."
"He was writing a paper last night, so how come you didn't notice when you hacked into his computer?" Qiao Yanan asked angrily.
"He must be a highly skilled hacker who erased all traces on the Internet. I thought he was just an ordinary person and didn't check his electronic devices in depth. It's my fault." 248 felt very frustrated. This was the first time he lost to a human.
"Delete his papers, his submissions, and his patent applications!" Qiao Yanan ordered harshly. She did this all the time; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to steal so many scientific research results without getting into trouble.
"It's too late. Due to the time difference, many editors have already read those papers and given enthusiastic responses. The government has also started paying attention to him after receiving the patent application. With national-level protection, our plan will never go smoothly and is more likely to expose ourselves. After all, I can delete evidence on the Internet, but I can't delete human memory." 248 said dejectedly.
Qiao Yanan was completely speechless. She used to hold her head high, but now she couldn't even lift it up. She looked as miserable as a stray dog.
Seeing her give up struggling, everyone was shocked and angry.
Zhuang Li said calmly, "Mr. Xuan, I'll leave this lady to you. I still have some key techniques to explain."
The indignant engineers immediately shifted their attention, straightened their laptops, and looked at the stage with shining eyes.
Xuan Ming really wanted to continue listening to Curly's lecture, but he had to take Qiao Yanan, the source of trouble, away, so he could only nod reluctantly.
Before leaving, he solemnly announced: "From this moment on, Mr. Zhuang Li is your minister."
The engineers and veteran scientists were stunned for just a moment before bursting into warm applause.
