Pei Tianyi looked up abruptly, stunned. "Professor?"
He didn't think there was anything wrong with his worries.
Because something like this had happened before.
The research data of the laboratory had been leaked by a new assistant, causing irreparable damage.
In the end, it was found that the assistant had been sent by the enemy to steal the research data.
But at the time, no one had expected this to happen, and no one had suspected the assistant.
Because the assistant was a fresh graduate who had been invited into the laboratory.
He was very talented in research and was also a genius.
In Continent O, the laboratories were divided into different levels.
The physics laboratory that Irwin was in was the highest S-level. It was highly confidential, so how could he let anyone in so easily?
"Pei Tianyi, if Mr. Ying really wanted this, he wouldn't have helped you locate my location." Irwin looked a little disappointed. "It's okay to be wary, but it's wrong for you to speculate about others."
He said the same two words. "Apologize."
Pei Tianyi's nerves tensed up in an instant.
Irwin wasn't his mentor, and had nothing to do with his field of research.
But Irwin's status in the academic world was very high, and his mentor couldn't compare to him.
He had always been favored by the heavens, and had been a good student in the eyes of his teachers since he was young. He had never been criticized like this before.
In the conference room, the other teachers also looked over.
It was as if there were thorns in his back.
Pei Tianyi pursed his lips, stood up, and bowed to Ying Zijin, saying three words with difficulty, "I'm sorry."
Ying Zijin didn't look at him, and asked a few more questions related to quantum mechanics. "Professor, let's continue."
Irwin's attention was also drawn back by these few questions, and he began to talk excitedly again.
Pei Tianyi couldn't describe how he felt.
Nothing was more uncomfortable than being completely ignored.
He sat at the side and didn't say anything.
But he had to admit that it was because of Ying Zijin that Irwin could be saved.
At this moment, his phone rang. Pei Tianyi felt as if he had been saved and went out to answer the call.
The call was from the laboratory in Continent O, asking about Irwin's health.
Pei Tianyi answered one by one and ended the call.
He didn't go back to the conference room, but returned to his room.
**
In the conference room.
Irwin's lecture lasted for four hours.
A few teachers had stayed behind to learn, but in the end, they were dizzy from listening to the lecture. Their minds were filled with thoughts of space carriers.
They couldn't help but admire Ying Zijin for being able to ask questions from time to time.
This person's IQ was really different from his.
"Hey, Mr. Ying, do you want to consider my suggestion?" Irwin felt that he had found a friend in quantum mechanics and was very happy. "If you want, I can approve it for you now."
"I'm thinking about it." Ying Zijin thought for a moment. "But I haven't finished high school yet. I might go after I graduate."
Quantum mechanics and cosmic space were the only scientific research that she was interested in right now.
Currently, there was no one in the academic world who could surpass Irwin in this field.
"No, no, no, you don't have to go to high school." Irwin was a little anxious. "Your level has already far surpassed the few graduate students I've taught. You can skip a grade. Skip a grade immediately. I can help with that too."
"Professor, please don't do that." Ying Zijin paused and said in a tactful tone, "Please let me enjoy a period of leisure and retirement."
Irwin was speechless.
He couldn't understand young people these days.
He was already in his sixties and he still hadn't thought about retirement, but she was already going to retire.
"Alright." Irwin reluctantly agreed. "I'll go through the paperwork first. You can come directly when the time comes."
After sending Ying Zijin out, Irwin made a call to the laboratory.
"Yes, I'll add one more person to my laboratory, but not now. She hasn't graduated from high school yet. I'll contact her when she graduates."
The researcher who answered the phone at the laboratory was really shocked.
Irwin's laboratory was different from other laboratories because the research topics were too difficult. Those who could enter were at least professors.
Even the graduate students that Irwin taught in university were not allowed to enter the laboratory.
Why did he suddenly want to take in a high school student?
Although the researcher was puzzled, he still did as he was told.
A high school student that Irwin had his eyes on was definitely not simple.
**
After resting for a few more days, Irwin led the research investigation team back to Continent O.
What surprised Pei Tianyi was that the General Bureau of International Investigation, IBI, actually sent an inspector and five senior agents to escort them.
Perhaps they weren't very strong, but they represented IBI.
IBI was a place that the world recognized as untouchable.
Anyone who wanted to touch someone from IBI would have to consider whether they could withstand the wrath of IBI.
It could be said that they could be completely at ease on the way back to Continent O.
Irwin was only interested in academics. To him, it didn't matter whether it was IBI or other organizations.
However, Pei Tianyi was very concerned about it and asked about it.
"You're very lucky." The inspector said casually, "Because of an important person, our highest executive officer found out about this matter, so the higher-ups specially sent us here."
IBI maintained world peace, so these inspectors and agents traveled all over the world.
There must be an emergency order for them to send people over in such a short time.
Only the highest executive officer had such an emergency order.
Irwin was indeed under international protection, but IBI wouldn't have rushed over so quickly.
However, Pei Tianyi didn't know that there was a senior officer above the director of IBI. He only thought that it was the director of IBI, but it was enough to shock him.
"Important person? Who? "
The inspector shrugged and didn't answer.
As subordinates, they naturally didn't know about the matters of the highest executive officer, let alone outsiders.
He hadn't even seen the highest executive officer before.
However, there was a rumor within IBI recently that the director had a girlfriend and was trying to please her.
As subordinates, they were especially curious.

December 14th was the last day of the ISC selection competition.
At this critical moment, the rankings were changing rapidly every minute and every second, but that didn't include the top ten.
The top ten had far more points than the contestants behind them, especially Amanda, who was currently ranked first in the global rankings. Her points were as high as 8000 points.
The second place was a thousand points behind her.
The difference between the eleventh and tenth place was a thousand and five hundred points.
Most people had been paying attention to the Hua contestant who hid his username, thinking that this contestant would definitely take first place.
However, nearly twenty days had passed, and this contestant's points didn't change at all. She was ranked outside the top ten.
This time, a new round of ridicule was set off on major social media platforms around the world, including Weibo.
[Let's be frank. She's good, and we all admit it. But don't you think she's playing to the gallery? One moment, her points soared, and the next, she stayed still for more than ten days. Even if she's good, she shouldn't play like this, right? Are you sure she's not playing to the gallery?]
[She's relying on her high IQ to not take this international competition seriously. Doesn't she know that she represents Hua?]
[Don't be so arrogant, right? I already said that Hua Hua can't do it.]
[You didn't use your keyboard to say whether Hua Hua can do it or not. It's not time yet, so how do we know who's in first place?]
There was a war of words on the Internet. Yi Lan Public School was also very concerned about the final ranking.
This was because many of the previous high-ranking contestants had now fallen to the bottom.
In fact, the selection competition didn't mean anything. Other than the prize money, there were no other awards. However, it was an honor.
An international scientific competition was related to the entire country.
Who would give up so easily?
But now, it seemed that the overall number one, who had caused a sensation around the world, had indeed not made any moves.
At seven o 'clock in the evening, a few teachers glanced at the rankings and found that the score had changed.
"It's only starting now. I don't think there's enough time." One of the teachers shook his head. "She's three thousand points behind Amanda. How can she make up for it?"
It was impossible to get all the questions correct and double the score.
After another hour of attention, the rankings completely stopped changing. The original mysterious number one was still ranked outside the top ten.
The teacher's expression brightened. "The rankings are locked!"
The ISC selection competition ended at midnight on December 15th. However, at eight o 'clock in the evening on the 14th, the answering system would lock the global rankings and the regional rankings.
In the last four hours, even the ISC organizing committee couldn't find out the specific scores of the contestants.
This made people even more anxious.
Let alone four hours, even if it was ten minutes, there could be a lot of changes.
Every second of the four hours was unbearable for the ISC contestants and spectators.
The contestants were frantically answering questions while the teachers and professors sat in front of the official website, waiting for the arrival of midnight.
After an unknown amount of time, the time finally jumped to the 00: 00 position.
The 15th was here, and the final rankings were completely out.
