First meeting
Ye Lin came to Kyoto University that day. A group of professors surrounded her backstage at the lecture, and Jiang Kuo was talking to Ye Lin.
"Xiaolin, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Yes, Professor Jiang. How are you doing recently?"
"My old man is doing very well. How has he been doing in Gao Country these past two years?"
"Everything is fine."
"Ah, that's fine. Don't be nervous later. I know you won't be nervous either. Just tell your group of junior students about it and let them broaden their horizons. Don't worry, there won't be any media here. It's mostly just a few students from the affiliated schools, so it won't take too long."
"I see."
"Ye Lin." A middle-aged man walked over. "Do you still recognize me?"
Ye Lin smiled and said, "How could I not recognize you, Principal Lin, you're here too."
"Old Lin, you are now the president of our Peking University." Jiang Kuo said with a smile.
"Yes, Ye Lin, it's all thanks to you. Ever since you were accepted into Gaoguo, our No. 1 Middle School has also benefited from it. Even I, because of my outstanding educational management, was promoted to become the principal of Jingda University. And I am your principal."
Ye Lin was recommended for admission to Kyoto University early on, but she went to high school like any other ordinary person. But one day after the college entrance examination...
Ye Lin was at Bai Zeyan's house that day. Ye Lin didn't have to wait for the college entrance examination results and could directly enter Kyoto University at the beginning of the school year. Jiang Kuo was very happy that Ye Lin was about to attend Kyoto University.
Ye Lin and Bai Zeyan were in the living room. "The college entrance examination results are out today, why don't you check it out?" Bai Zeyan asked.
"What's there to check? I know everything." Ye Lin didn't care.
"You should check it out. Everyone's definitely asking about your grades, and they all need to know anyway. Go check it out in the study. You know the secrets of the computer, so go ahead."
"Okay." Ye Lin got up from the sofa and went to the study.
Ye Lin sat on the chair in the study and entered her test number and other relevant information into the system. Ye Lin clicked to query, but strangely, the score interface that should have appeared did not appear.
This was a very strange code running and displayed on the computer desktop. Ye Lin felt very strange and didn't understand what was going on.
Ye Lin called out, "Bai Zeyan." There was no response. Perhaps because the distance was too far, Bai Zeyan didn't hear it.
Ye Lin wondered if Bai Zeyan's computer was infected with a virus. Bai Zeyan had many enemies, and this didn't seem like a malicious attack. Could it be that someone had deliberately placed the virus? Ye Lin found the program more and more interesting, and it didn't seem simple.
So she set to work, trying to decipher it. It was basically an incomplete piece of code that needed to be repaired, rectified, and recompiled to fill in the incomplete code levels so the program would run properly. Ye Lin kept pounding away at the keyboard, becoming increasingly engrossed as she wrote, her face expressionless. Ye Lin was serious.
Ye Lin's demeanor was different when she was serious, as if a special magnetic field surrounded her, making it difficult to disturb her. Ye Lin discovered that this program was truly remarkable. The twenty-four-digit notation system required was virtually unknown. This system, while obscure, was incredibly simple, significantly easier than the commonly used methods today. However, this notation, originally invented in the last century, has largely been lost, with only a few fragments remaining. It's said that it was developed by a single individual, and few people knew the solution. This is one reason why this simple notation remains relatively unused.
Ye Lin had stumbled upon this convergence method earlier and had figured out the remaining missing pieces herself. She'd used this method privately, but she hadn't expected to encounter it here. Her hands continued to fly across the keyboard, and she was almost finished.
Ye Lin was wondering what this was. It looked like a test question, but Bai Zeyan was not from the Cyberspace Administration (Cybersecurity and Information Research) department, so there was no way he would be tested on this.
Ye Lin hadn't figured it out yet, "No." Ye Lin was about to stop, but her nimble hands had already finished writing the code. The moment Ye Lin reacted, her finger pressed the Enter key.
The computer page immediately changed to a letter of invitation to study. It was as follows:
Ye Lin, do you agree to join the International Elite Academy?
There is only one option below: "Agree".
Ye Lin frowned. "International Elite Academy." International Elite Academy is a private university located in Gao Country, ranked number one in the world. Each year, the number of students admitted is extremely small, and there are no specific admission requirements. Self-registration is not permitted. The admission requirements of International Elite Academy remain a mystery, but it's undeniable that every graduate is a leader in their field.
It turned out to be the International Elite College, or Guoying for short. If you didn't apply to a school independently, you'd need a response from the applicant before your application could be entered into the school's records. Ye Lin tried to close the page, but found that except for the "Agree" button, nothing else would respond.
This program had actually incorporated the code Ye Lin had just written, or rather, what Ye Lin had just written was a vulnerability in the program. Now, the only option was to click "Agree." If you forcefully exit the program, the program settings would directly trigger the engine, causing an explosion. Even if you stopped, the explosion would still occur after the time limit expired. The program had been improved using Ye Lin's code, so even Ye Lin couldn't decipher it. This was like the world's top brain surgeon being unable to perform the same surgery on himself when he developed the same disease.
For example, Ye Lin is at a peak level, a state far beyond the reach of others. She can write the world's most perfect and flawless program, so perfect that even Ye Lin can't find a flaw. She perfects her program to perfection, leaving no loopholes. Although Ye Lin's level is far higher than others, she doesn't leave any loopholes that only she can find. A perfect and flawless program is impossible to crack. She even guards against herself. Therefore, at the current level of world civilization, no one can crack this program, including Ye Lin.
Furthermore, if this invitation is not accepted, it will also cause an explosion if someone logs into this exam account from another electronic device without clicking "Agree." Even if Ye Lin abandons this study room, can she block others from logging in in time? Many teachers may be logging into this exam account at this time. Ye Lin passed the exam, so this invitation is here now.
"Damn." Ye Lin was screwed by the code she wrote.
“Ring, ring, ring—”
"Hello, Teacher Song."
"Ye Lin, the teacher is checking your grades. Don't worry, you'll definitely be in the top 50 nationwide. They're probably blocked now. The admission letter from Peking University has been sent out, and you should receive it in two days."
"Yes, teacher."
Now it seems that this score was blocked by the International Elite Academy. Ye Lin pondered for a while and pressed the Enter key.
The computer page returns to normal and a new page pops up.
Congratulations, Ye Lin. You have been accepted into Elite International Academy.
Please enter your email address:
"Linlin, have you found out the scores?" Bai Zeyan came to the study.
"It seems that I can't go to Beijing University."
…
At that time, when Peking University received the news that Ye Lin was admitted by the International Elite Academy, it immediately disagreed. We had already admitted Ye Lin early, so you just intercepted her.
After negotiations between Kyoto University and Guoying University, it was decided that Ye Lin would be enrolled in both Kyoto University and Guoying University's undergraduate records. Although Ye Lin could have studied for her undergraduate degree at Guoying University and her graduate studies at Kyoto University, Kyoto University disagreed, fearing Guoying would refuse to release her.
So Ye Lin was studying in the Computer Science Department of the National Ying University while also studying in the Biology Department of the Peking University, but she had been studying in the National Ying University before.
"Okay, Ye Lin. It's almost time to go on stage."
"Um."
Although Ye Lin doesn't often attend such speeches, she doesn't get nervous or stage fright.
Ye Lin came on stage, still wearing simple loose clothes and a black mask, without showing her face.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Lin. The topic of my speech today is neuronal regeneration and gene coexistence."
When Ye Lin's cold voice came out, the whole place fell silent. Some students were just listening casually with a lazy attitude. After all, Ye Lin was also a student at Peking University, and she looked very young, so her words were not very convincing. Ye Lin was not at Peking University, and no one at Peking University had heard of her much.
"With the advancement of information technology, the times, and the development of humanism, many things are changing rapidly. Among many fields, one of the areas that people are most concerned about is medicine. Can humans resist their own diseases and maintain a normal immune system?
Regarding nerve cells, we all know that due to the unique characteristics of the human body, each person's cell gene sequence is different, so some nerve cells cannot regenerate once damaged. What I want to discuss today is how to transform nerve cells from a single selectivity to adapt to diversity.
The paired gene sequence of a nerve cell determines whether it can survive in a host. Every cell in our body has undergone thousands of years of adaptation and ultimately survived to form a human being. It also represents the uniqueness of each person..."
In the dimly lit lecture hall, a distinguished man sat in a corner. The last row was empty, and a man sitting in the last row, sensing the man's distinguished presence, glanced a few times. It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't.
"Are you Senior Ji?"
The noble man next to him said, "Do you know me?"
The boy was surprised and said, "It's really you, Senior Ji. I've seen you on the school's celebrity list before. Are you here to listen to the speech too?"
"Um."
"Are you also interested in biology?"
"Some." I just don't know what Ji Jinyan is interested in.
The boy wanted to say something, but Ji Jinyan interrupted him: "Shh, listen carefully."
The boy said no more.
“I once imagined that, like genetic recombination, nerve cells could be disassembled and reassembled to cultivate nerve fibers with the same sequence, but in the end this argument failed. Genetic recombination does not apply to nerve cells.
Since it's impossible to reconstruct an identical nerve, how else can we obtain such a nerve? For example, in the world's only toy factory, a unique toy is produced. However, due to a worker's error, it accidentally collides with the machinery during removal from the mold, partially damaging it and making it a defective product. So how can a perfect toy be restored? The worker wants to recreate the damaged part, but the machine can't produce parts with exactly the same density accuracy. Even the most sophisticated instruments have deviations. It's like a "quasi-L" function: no matter how close you get to the axis, you can't touch it, so it's not an "L."
If it's impossible to build something new, then the only option is to repair it. Some might argue that an item becomes irreparable only when it's beyond repair, and then another identical item is created to replace it. But how can there be no replacement? The absence of repair leads to replacement precisely because repair is more difficult. If repair is possible, would replacement still be necessary? If it can be repaired, then it can certainly be replaced. But if it can be replaced, then it's not necessarily repairable. Perhaps people believe that repair is impossible simply because we haven't found a solution, so we've found another solution—replacement.
Some have suggested another approach: cultivating neural cell clones, which can also be understood as "replication." However, cell cloning cannot simply create a single tissue; from the moment it's created, it becomes an independent individual. I think you should all understand the drawbacks of this.
…
Once nerve cells can regenerate, blind people will be able to grow back their eyes, limbs lost in accidents will be able to grow back, and burned skin will be able to recover. Terms like "neural necrosis" and "neurological death" will no longer exist in medicine.
As Ye Lin finished her speech, the venue fell silent, and people who had initially held a casual attitude fell into deep thought.
Next was the normal question-and-answer session. Usually, not many people would ask questions at this time, but this time the students had some questions they wanted to ask.
A male student asked, "Hello, Senior Ye Lin! The technology of 'neural regeneration' sounds like it could bring many benefits to our biomedical field, and this hypothesis has been proposed for a long time. However, the technology has not yet been successfully researched and applied. As far as I know, there was an experimental surgery about three years ago, but the results are unknown, and there has been no news of any further progress since then. 'Neural regeneration' sounds like something out of the blue, is it really possible?"
Ye Lin raised her drooping eyes and spoke slowly, "Three years ago, there was indeed such an operation, and the result was - a success."
Jiang Kuo looked up at Ye Lin, opened his mouth to say something but then closed it again, suppressing the shock in his eyes.
"After three years of development, this technology is no longer a fantasy and will be put into practical use in the near future."
Afterwards, many curious students continued to raise their doubts. Ji Jinyan was about to leave when a male classmate asked, "Senior Ye Lin, can I pursue you?" Alas, another innocent man was deceived by Ye Lin.
Ji Jinyan stopped himself from getting up and sat down again.
"No." Ye Lin blurted out without thinking. The students burst into laughter, and the boy's face fell immediately. He asked aggrievedly, "Why?"
"I don't like my brother." There was another burst of laughter. Ye Lin realized belatedly that she seemed to be too straightforward and tried to make amends.
"But just because I don't like it doesn't mean others won't like it. I hope you will meet someone who appreciates you and is suitable for you." The junior student forced a smile and sat down.
Ji Jinyan secretly felt lucky that he was older than Ye Lin. The boy sitting in the last row with Ji Jinyan couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that Senior Sister Ye Lin's emotional intelligence is not very high."
The boy looked up and happened to meet Ye Lin's deep eyes. As if he had heard something, he immediately lowered his head guiltily and covered his mouth: "Is it possible that someone heard it?"
Ye Lin's gaze left the boy. Ji Jinyan had already left the table and walked towards the exit. Ye Lin stared at his back until he disappeared around the corner.
The boy noticed that Ye Lin had looked away and breathed a sigh of relief: This is too oppressive.
"If you have no questions related to my speech, then this concludes my remarks."
Ye Lin left the stage and returned to the backstage. Principal Lin and Jiang Kuo were already waiting for her backstage.
Principal Lin said, "Ye Lin, your speech was wonderful, as always."
Ye Lin smiled, "You're too modest."
"Ye Lin, even though you spend most of your time at Guoying, you're still a student of Jingda. If you need anything at school, feel free to come and use any classroom. Come to Jingda often to exchange ideas and learn with your fellow alumni, just like you would at No. 1 Middle School."
"Okay, Principal Lin."
"I'll go back first. I have some things to take care of."
Jiang Kuo said, "Ye Lin, what do you think about nerve regeneration?"
"Professor Jiang, the research I've conducted with the international research institute on this technology has matured, and I think it's time to open it up to the market."
"But the patent application requires detailed research data. How do you explain this discovery of regenerated nerves?"
“So, I have no plans to apply for a patent.”
“Not applying for a patent?”
"Yes, if we directly disclose this technology to the Quan State, no one will deliberately study the origin of the initial neurons."
"Well, Ye Lin, this is the only way." Jiang Kuo originally thought that Ye Lin's application for a patent would make Ye Lin more famous in the biological community, but then he thought about how he couldn't explain the research experiment, so he had to give up.
"Professor Jiang, I'm not in a position to speak on this matter. So I'd like to credit this technology to you, and you will be responsible for the subsequent disclosure of the technology."
"Ye Lin, you..."
Ye Lin interrupted him, "Professor Jiang, thank you for your help."
Jiang Kuo knew that Ye Lin's decision would not be easily changed. "Well, alas, I got the advantage of your research and development for nothing."
"You are seriously ill."
"I have entered your information into every classroom in Kyoto University. You can come and go as you please."
"Okay, I understand."
At the same time, Ji Jinyan called Li Ming.
"Hello, President Ji."
"Has the new controller, Ye Lin, confirmed her start date?"
"It's already been decided, Mr. Ji."
"Arrange a separate office for her."
Li Ming was a little surprised, "Ah, President Ji."
"how?"
"This seems a bit against the rules. Normally, controllers are only considered for separate workspaces after they complete a project. If I follow your arrangement, I'm afraid it will cause some minor objections from the employees. How about I wait a while and then follow your plan?"
Ji Jinyan thought for a moment and said, "That's it."
Ji Jinyan hung up the phone. Li Ming exhaled, frowning slightly. "Boss Ji, are you really attracted to her face? Is that why you're giving her special treatment right away? No, I have to be careful. Boss Ji has no experience in love, so he won't get cheated."
