"Light……"
Old Meng was a little confused about what Fan Xiaofan really meant.
He stretched out his hand, and light shone through his fingers, carrying a hint of doubt.
Fan Xiaofan pointed to a large pile of books scattered around him and said, "That's right, using light. A few years ago, I remember a foreign expert used artificial light to illuminate gemstones and discovered a laser that was a thousand times stronger than normal light."
Old Meng's eyes widened suddenly. He had naturally heard about lasers, but to him it was something completely unrelated to his research. His understanding of lasers was limited to a few related reports he had occasionally seen.
"What does it mean to be a thousand times more intense than normal light? And what does light have to do with the telephones we're studying now? It seems..."
Old Meng hesitated before expressing his thoughts, as he couldn't quite figure out what the light had to do with what they were currently researching.
"Electricity is transmitted via copper wires, so let's think about it differently: could we use something to transmit light?"
"Electricity and light are essentially both types of waves. Electricity can only reach the same speed as light in a vacuum. If there were something that could transmit light in the same way as electricity, its frequency would be much higher than that of radio waves. Because of the higher frequency, it can transmit a larger amount of information. Let's make a conjecture: under the same conditions, could this allow more people to make phone calls at the same time, and would the call quality also be improved? Isn't this the problem we've been trying to solve?"
Old Meng suddenly felt a jolt in his head.
My gaze fell upon the light that was most common on ordinary days...
After a long while, he suddenly burst into laughter, slapped his forehead, and exclaimed, "I've actually been living all my life in the very solution I've been desperately searching for..."
"I used to think that it was something completely unrelated to what I was researching..."
Old Meng sighed.
Hearing him say this, Fan Xiaofan recalled the past. When she was young, she vowed to wear a white coat. Even before she understood anything, she told her parents that she would do research in the future. She also remembered her mother holding her in her arms and saying with a smile, "Then our Xiaofan has so much to learn..."
Science is never a simple discipline; any strange or unusual knowledge may produce different chemical reactions when applied to different areas.
Her voice seemed to echo the voice of her mother in her mind: "There is no such thing as useless knowledge in this world, only people who don't know how to apply it..."
Old Meng raised his hand and clapped, and without realizing it, he also brought the stunned crowd back to their senses, and they couldn't help but clap their hands as well...
Fan Xiaofan scratched her chin sheepishly; she was actually just repeating what others had said...
Old Meng sighed, "Comrade Xiao Fang, we were really narrow-minded..."
Fan Xiaofan waved his hand: "That's not how it is. Science requires both specialization and versatility. It's because of the initial specialization and everyone's years of hard work that we've laid the most solid foundation. What we can do now is think about how to make it even better..."
Factory Director Wu swallowed hard, his gaze constantly shifting between Fan Xiaofan and Old Meng, then back to what Old Meng had told him yesterday…
real……
Factory Director Wu swore that he was feeling a little dizzy.
The little girl wasn't at all like the person she had imagined coming to play...
