The project's chief commander has been replaced.
"Guo'er, I've used all the knowledge I've acquired in my life, but I still can't figure it out. You solved it in no time."
Mo Yang didn't even turn his head, continuing to output what he was doing.
"Isn't this normal? It's inevitable that you'll encounter problems and not understand something because your major isn't directly related to your field. Fill in the knowledge gaps in your cross-disciplinary knowledge, and your thinking will reach a higher level. Keep up the good work, and don't rush it."
"But you're making me feel really awkward. It's just some basic knowledge, and you're making me go through all that trouble to explain it to me. You should be doing hands-on work in a more research-oriented field. I'm taking up your time and causing you trouble."
Speak like a human.
Mo Yang sensed something amiss.
“If Mo Yang were here, we could communicate and discuss this, and we wouldn’t have to bother you. Besides, our academic levels are about the same, so it doesn’t make much difference whether one of us knows a little more or a little less.”
Mo Yang understood the purpose behind his words.
"He asked for leave because of something, so you can ask him how long it will take."
"Okay!"
Fan Siwen picked up her phone, looking very serious as she sent a message.
Before long, he gave Mo Yang a definite answer.
He said his trip was coming to an end, and if there were no other plans, he could come back after it was over.
“Oh,” Mo Yang replied.
Fan Siwen added, "Director, it just so happens that Mo Yang is at the quantum computing center. Better to be lucky than lucky. Let's send him the data we need to calculate! It will save us a lot of trouble!"
Fan Siwen's words made Mo Yang fall into deep thought.
To be honest, he had considered this matter before.
This was partly the reason why Mo Yang was kept on in the first place.
However, since the last data breach, he has been unsure whether this approach is even within acceptable limits.
If something like this happens again, he might implicate Elder Huang.
Not only will it implicate others and affect the research and development progress, but it will also further diminish his idea of returning to the future.
After much deliberation, Mo Yang decided to reject Fan Siwen's idea.
"Our research project is, after all, a top-secret national project. If any information is leaked, it will affect everyone involved in the project. This is no joke. Let's make some more plans."
Fan Siwen had considered the possibility of Mo Yang's refusal, but Mo Yang's resolute rejection still left Fan Siwen in a brief silence.
What excuse could he find that would get Mo Yang to agree while also lightening their burden?
After much deliberation, Fan Siwen firmly told Mo Yang, "Mo Yang's quantum computing research center is one of the world's top centers, providing computing power for projects in many countries around the world. Their main strength is ensuring absolute confidentiality for project research and development, without leaking any private information. Even projects that hire them for computing power cannot find any information about them. Moreover, since they have such a good reputation, it means that the confidentiality of the computing power tasks they have completed in the past has been absolutely reliable. If you are still not at ease, I can have Thomas build another data processing and erasure system to ensure that no trace is left."
It has to be said that Fan Siwen's words swayed Mo Yang.
However, Mo Yang was still hesitant.
"Mo Yang will not agree to install this operating system."
“We won’t tell him, we can just let Thomas do it secretly, won’t we?”
Although Fan Siwen's actions were not very humane, the whole thing was indeed very tempting for Mo Yang if it could be pulled off.
After thinking about it, Mo Yang finally gave in to Fan Siwen's encouragement and nodded in agreement.
Before Mo Yangren even returned, he received a task notification in the group chat.
Hearing that it was a requirement from the leadership, Mo Yang took it very seriously.
I ran back and forth in the quantum center, and my legs almost broke.
Those who don't know him might think that his current project is his old employer, while the quantum center where he works is like a new position.
After a flurry of activity—establishing connections, calculating computing power—the entire process was completed as usual, and the computation task finished faster than expected. It even left Fan Siwen somewhat dumbfounded.
As expected of a quantum computer, it is truly a rising star in the scientific research community.
If I could get support, Fan Siwen would be the first to push him to be a top influencer.
All computing power work is now complete.
Mo Yang reminded everyone in the group chat to do a good job of cleaning up.
Mo Yang nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Mo Yang sent over the cleaned-up pictures.
Mo Yang nodded to Fan Siwen, who then went to instruct Thomas to carry out the order.
While the whole thing seemed to be going smoothly, Mo Yang was constantly tense and sweating profusely.
It's unclear when exactly, but this project has become as important as Mo Yang's life.
He regarded it as a mission that could not afford to go wrong, as if any mistake would lead to his utter destruction.
The stopwatch in her mind was ticking, and when the hands completed a full circle, Fan Siwen had not sent her a message.
There was no message after the pointer had spun twice.
The pointer spun three times, and Fan Siwen let out a shout of surprise, "Done!"
Mo Yang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally be put at ease.
This also means that their project has overcome its first major hurdle.
This is truly a cause for celebration.
Mo Yang was eager to organize the information and put the data back in its place, wishing he could finish the report and paper immediately.
At that moment, Mo Yang suddenly sent a message in the group.
"Isn't it strange? Our computer suddenly started lagging, something that's never happened before. It's been sent for repair now, and it probably won't be usable for a while. We're really lucky that the computer was able to process the data in time."
Mo Yang glanced at it but didn't say anything.
Fan Siwen kept talking ingratiatingly, as if she couldn't wait for the project to produce results and win a world-class nomination by tomorrow.
Mo Yang, on the other side of the screen, also inexplicably started celebrating, influenced by Fan Siwen.
Mo Yang couldn't help but urge, "No champagne at the halfway point."
Fan Siwen immediately sent a facepalm emoji.
The moment the expression appeared, Mo Yang couldn't help but secretly smile.
He is getting closer and closer to achieving his goal.
Mo Yang's return brought a bit more life back to the quiet laboratory.
Neither of them mentioned their previous remarks.
For men, making up can be as simple as breathing, as long as the mediator is timely.
Compared to other labs, Mo Yang's lab is currently the one with the highest morale.
Faced with a project that had made no progress for years, they produced a small result in just a few days, and the expressions on everyone's faces were enough to reveal everything.
Before sending the results and data to Huang Zhong, Mo Yang wanted to postpone the matter.
Sometimes, the voice of public opinion is enough to overwhelm everything.
If everyone knew how rapidly they were progressing, there was no doubt that irreparable losses might occur at some point.
Mo Yang wanted to adopt a secrecy strategy.
No matter how meticulously he planned, it couldn't compare to the sudden and fierce attack from the opposing forces.
The notice for the impromptu meeting was clearly displayed on Mo Yang's phone.
This message was actually seen by Fan Siwen in the group chat and forwarded to Mo Yang.
Mo Yang thought it over and over, but he still couldn't understand why a project progress meeting would be held at this juncture.
It's understandable that he gave a detailed report on the data, planned for the next steps, and held a project progress meeting.
However, given how hastily the meeting was convened, and the fact that it was held so urgently without him having reported the relevant data, he was truly baffled.
Even so, Mo Yang still arrived on time to attend.
The leaders present all appeared to be veterans of the research institute, and he even recognized one of them as someone he had met before.
He nodded and chose a quiet spot to sit down.
The meeting began quickly.
Unlike Mo Yang's plan, the project progress meeting didn't delve into the details of Mo Yang's current project progress. Instead, after gathering all the key figures, they announced an important project announcement: effective today, Hou Chengjie has taken over as the overall project leader.
None of the people present mentioned Huang Zhongqian's name.
Mo Yang was somewhat confused about the situation throughout.
He had never experienced a project manager being replaced so easily before.
It's not that it's never happened; in cases where there haven't been any major mistakes, they've almost always been involved in the project from start to finish.
However, their projects are very fragmented, and it is common for more than a dozen people to be combined into one project.
As for him now, there's only one person in charge, and they keep changing, which is really confusing and gives him a headache.
Wouldn't that mean the person in charge would have to reassess the project's progress, and everything would have to be started all over again?
It's like child's play.
Even soldiers need time to get used to each other in battle. Moreover, Mo Yang looked at Hou Chengjie, whose sanctimonious appearance was comparable to Huang Zhongqian's. However, he wondered what would happen if they got to know each other.
After the meeting, Mo Yang was summoned to Huang Zhongqian's office.
That's what they said, but when Mo Yang actually arrived, he found that there was no trace of Huang Zhong before him. In his place were all new and unfamiliar things.
Hou Chengjie briefly inquired about the current progress of the project from Mo Yang. Mo Yang only reported some of the information that Huang Zhongqian knew, and kept the rest very secret.
The other party was clearly trying to exert pressure on Mo Yang through the bureaucratic system, but this had no effect on Mo Yang, who was used to arguing with everyone in the office.
Mo Yang turned and left without listening to the whole thing, and he didn't even look at the expression on the person's face.
What bothered Mo Yang was nothing other than that this person kept bringing up past mistakes and Huang Zhong's dereliction of duty. He seemed to be saying that he wanted to turn the page and start over, but every word of his accusation hit Mo Yang's heart.
Although we don't know exactly what happened that led to this situation.
However, accepting the status quo is arguably the only option he can make at this moment.
It seemed to be Mo Yang's imagination that people on the street were all looking down and discussing something when they saw him, as if they were talking to themselves or gossiping about something.
When he was being watched closely, Mo Yang covered his face with his hands and hurried his steps.
