In the past, Xu Le had spent a lot of time in the library of Ewha University, reading all kinds of books and unofficial historical commentaries, so he was able to recognize the faces of a few old men from the Federation. These top figures in the scientific and cultural field of the Federation were either honorary directors in some institute or were worshiped like ancestors in some university.
Electronic gossip magazines loved to write about people, especially celebrities, such as Jian Shui'er, certain politicians, and that mature female anchor on the news channel of the Federation. The academic gossip magazines that were subsidized by the Education Fund of the Federation actually had the same hobby. However, the words "wrong" in the "wrong" were all removed. They just blindly grabbed idols from the ivory tower to attract the ordinary readers who were fascinated by the mysterious and unknown scientific cult. The older the idols, the better …
Just smearing gold dust on these old scholars was probably not enough to satisfy the peeping desire of the Federation citizens. Therefore, the biographical articles in the academic journals always described these old men as strange people. No matter whether these old men were historians or astrophysicists, in these articles, they were all old fools who were cooked in a pot and walked around like ghosts.
The old professor that Xu Le was following now had the surname Professor Shen and the name Yufei. It was the name of a typical gigolo. However, he knew that Professor Shen was not a gigolo. In the past ten days, he had met this old professor three times. Xu Le faintly felt that this old professor looked familiar. It was only later that he remembered that he had seen this old man's picture in several academic journals. He had also read the related biographies.
Xu Le had never believed that these top old scholars in the Federation were all strange people. In his opinion, the scholars who could be in these academic journals were definitely experts. Although he was an unorthodox engineer, he respected these old men very much. He even faintly admired them.
Today, when he was next to these top experts in the Federation, he was shocked to find that the non-academic biographies in the academic journals were not all fake. The old men's temperament was indeed a bit strange. In the past, when he looked at them from afar, he could see that they were strange mountains and rocks. Now that he was close to them, he realized that they were actually difficult mountain roads.
In the main research and control room, Xu Le would always be busy for a long time. He did not have time to do what he wanted to do. Those difficult theories were things that he could not fully understand at the moment. He needed to retrieve data and diagrams, as well as search for related information in the vast literature library. For the current him, it was very difficult work.
There was no creativity, and he could not come into contact with any real research topics. All he did was help. He was more like a humanoid computer sorting and sorting, not a research assistant. It was no wonder that with Professor Shen's status in the academic world, there were no other researchers in the laboratory today except for Xu Le. It was also no wonder that the young Professor Shen would so impulsively run to the spring recruitment exam site to snatch people … Presumably, the young Professor Shen was also forced into a corner by the old Professor Shen.
The work that Xu Le did every day seemed simple, but in fact, it was very complicated and tiring. The most important thing was that it was boring. Just like Linhai Prefecture in the middle of winter, the four seasons of the Donglin Region, when it snowed, it would last for several months. When the sky darkened, it would last for an entire year. There was no change at all.
Fortunately, Xu Le was a person who was used to silence and had a calm temperament. Like a stone, he silently and steadily completed the work that the old professor gave him in front of the holographic screen table. Even though there were occasional feelings of disappointment in his heart, they disappeared in the blink of an eye. He didn't complain, and he didn't even think about leaving the research institute. To be honest, the staff he had seen in the past ten days were less than the stray cats he had seen in the Donglin District's mine. Even if he wanted to complain, he couldn't find a suitable target.
He washed the hair of the Zhong family's daughter, took a bullet for the young master of the Tai family, and scared the young master of the Li family with his car. At this time, in Xu Le's eyes, the seven most mysterious and powerful families of the Federation no longer had any halos. Environment and experience were the most difficult to change a person's mind. At this time, Xu Le was very sure that he was not an ordinary person, but he also knew that in addition to the chip and the tyrannical mysterious power in his body, his biggest reliance was the technology in his brain. And to understand these three things, even Tai Zhiyuan could not help much.
It was still that old saying — only technology could get close to technology.
Xu Le knew very well that this old professor Shen Yufei definitely would not set these difficult questions to test him just because he liked him too much. Then, one day, there would be a golden flash and the old professor would pass on his entire legacy to him, and then die — this was not a dream, this was a wet dream in the military camp, an obscene fantasy that deserved a beating — he was only sure that if he wanted to get close to the core technology of the Federation, he would need to stay by this old professor's side and follow these old gentlemen.
Just bear with it for now, Xu Le thought in his heart, but the speed of his hands did not slow down at all. Looking at his ten fingers that were about to become afterimages before his eyes, he subconsciously began to daydream. He thought to himself that if he had to bear with this for another half a year, when he was operating a mecha in the future, his hand speed would really be amazing …
This boring assistant job actually did have some benefits. As for what the hell the hand speed had to do with mecha, of course that only existed in Xu Le's daydreaming. The benefit he could clearly feel was that he was already becoming more and more familiar with handling this massive and complex database. He believed that in another two months' time, this database would be like those components piled up in the operations room of the mine. No matter how complicated the process was, it would not be a problem for him.
Professor Shen's research on quantum measurable dynamics … was too cutting-edge, so much so that it was publicly acknowledged that there was no future for it. However, precisely because there was no future for it, the data required encompassed many aspects. It was like a blind cat trying to kill a mouse — it would definitely be blindly bumping around on a two-dimensional plane at 360 degrees. The three divisions of the research institute were set up in the First Military Academy and shared the same database. Professor Shen's position, as well as the 360 degrees of blindly bumping around that position, was enough for him to enter most of the areas. As the only assistant, Xu Le could already faintly see the shape of a treasure mountain, shining brightly …
At 3: 30 in the afternoon, the research institute got off work punctually. There were still many researchers who had not completed their research projects, so they would still remain in their own labs. However, Xu Le had already packed up his belongings neatly, put on his military cap, typed his farewells on the desktop, and left the storage room immediately. Before he left, he glanced at the row of Federation cutting-edge equipment covered in fine dust and could not help but sigh. He thought to himself that he would definitely find some time tomorrow to come out and fix the dust removal equipment …
It was fine as long as he completed his own work. There was no need to spend all his time with that old man. Xu Le would leave punctually every day. In fact, he had also thought that if he could work overtime here, he might really be able to find something after Professor Shen left. However, he really did not have much time now.
Not long after that black car left the First Military Academy, Professor Shen also walked out of the lab with the help of his crutches. He got into his son's car outside the entrance of the research institute. Young Professor Shen noticed that his father did not look very good, but he was not surprised. Ever since his father devoted himself to the research of quantum measurable dynamics ten years ago, this had already become a fact that was destined to happen.
Young Professor Shen could not help but sigh in his heart. With his father's status in the scientific community of the Federation and his identity as a Nebula Award winner, in the last few years of his life, he had entered a dead end. As a son and student, he was really disappointed. However, he also knew that people who engaged in scientific research were stubborn. No one could persuade each other.
"Is the new assistant okay?" Young Professor Shen subconsciously asked. Many years ago, he and his father rarely talked about anything other than academic topics.
"Very good." Professor Shen's eyes were half closed. His hands were pressed on the crutches. The age spots on his face were very obvious. On his soft cheeks, there were two patches of yellow that did not look auspicious.
Young Professor Shen was slightly stunned. He did not expect that his eccentric father would give such a high evaluation of the research assistant. Although it was only two words, when was the last time someone received such an evaluation?
"Impeccable when he works." Old Professor Shen seemed to be interested. He slowly opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, coughed twice, and said regretfully, "Although I was not very familiar with the classification of subjects in the beginning, this kid is very smart and willing to work hard. The problem is that he gets off work on time every day. It makes me very unhappy. It seems that he is a person with a girlfriend. It is really stupid of him to fall in love so early and waste his time."
During the spring recruitment exam in Nutshell, Professor Shen Jr. had chosen Xu Le on behalf of his father at first glance. It was because of Xu Le's meticulous and logical ability on the test paper, as well as the leap of thought in the last big question, as well as the extraordinary hands-on ability that Professor Zhou from Ewha University had mentioned. Young Professor Shen was also very satisfied that his father was satisfied with him. However, when he heard his father's last sentence, he could not help but be silent. He thought to himself, if young people do not fall in love, what else can they do?
…
…
Xu Le did not have a girlfriend. Even if he did, in his heart, she had already turned into a few balls of fire in the sky above S2. She melted into the clouds and disappeared with the wind. Now, he was naturally not in the mood to fall in love. Whether it was the problem in his body or Senator Macklin, who was in full swing with the presidential election, both made him more silent than before.
The automatic thermal soup pot began to sound. Xu Le scooped out the soup and carefully placed it on the dining table. He then went to the kitchen to cook a few side dishes and two bowls of rice. Only then did he sit at the table and began to focus on eating.
A red figure appeared in the living room. Miss Zou family was wearing a light red halter top today. She looked very cool. She was a little tired as she sat across from him. She looked at the dishes in front of her and said, "You really are a person who is not afraid of trouble."
The soup was made by Xu Le before he left in the morning. The dishes were bought from the supermarket the night before yesterday. Xu Le raised her head in confusion, glanced at her, and asked hesitantly, "What's the trouble?"
"Why don't you eat the ready-made food?" Zou Yu scooped up a chicken claw in the soup and frowned, "You can be considered a little rich now. It shouldn't be a problem for you to eat at a restaurant."
