Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 310 Dinner
The 50th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), also known as the Shanghai Microwave Technology Research Institute, is specifically responsible for microwave and millimeter-wave technology, radar systems, and electronic countermeasures equipment.

The 32nd Institute, which is the East China Institute of Computing Technology where Wang Tianshu works, is responsible for high-performance computing, independently controllable chips, and military computer systems.

The 23rd Institute, the Institute of Optical Fiber Communication Technology, focuses on optical fiber communication, optoelectronic devices, special optical fibers, military optical communication systems, and civilian high-speed optical network technology.

The China Satellite Research Institute is responsible for overall satellite design, system integration, and related technology research. The Electronic Technology Research Institute focuses on the research and development of aerospace electronic equipment, communication systems, and navigation technologies.

At this moment, all these units were sitting in the conference room of the Eighth Academy, with the relevant leaders holding reports in their hands, listening to Lu Yao's eloquent explanation of the research plan.

Actually... it's quite outrageous.

Sitting among the group from the 32nd Research Institute, Wang Tianshu's thoughts drifted off course as he listened to Lu Yao explain how to optimize the model.

20 years old...

He's only twenty years old.

When I was twenty...

Seemingly remembering something, he shook his head slightly and looked at the few people in military uniforms across the conference room.

A quick glance.

I didn't look closely.

But the stars on his shoulder were clearly visible.

He wasn't surprised, or rather, he was used to it. When the data for the RF chip arrived, Wang Tianshu was immediately confused... This stability and penetration rate... which organization developed this?

Why isn't there even a splash?

But when he saw the "inventor" section, he suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that Lu Yao was behind it.

The initial surprise has faded into calm with the passage of time.

When he looked at Lu Yao on the stage with this feeling, he felt quite at ease.

The people in this room today are all part of the future of this project.

Just as Lu Yao said, this project could be studied by a single research institute, but... how should I put it?

The benefits are too much for one person to consume.

Especially matters concerning BeiDou.

To be honest, although he wasn't very clear about Lu Yao's research direction, it sounded to him like nothing more than the same old three things.

Optimization, differentiation, and evolution.

Optimize the original design, differentiate designs for different needs, and evolve diverse designs.

For example, the military leaders sitting opposite me, their needs are obvious without even thinking about it. They definitely require high precision, high penetration, high stability, and resistance to complex conditions.

According to their requirements, this is a team.

For example, AVIC has a mysterious insistence on signal penetration.

This is yet another team.

For example, my own workplace...

In short, although radio frequency chips are small, they are an indispensable part of all high-precision projects. And the reason these people are here today is simply because they have different needs.

At that time, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lu Yao and his team were responsible for the overall optimization of the project. After completing the research on the relevant parameters of Beidou, the team split up and reorganized into multiple areas, with some researching missiles, some signal base stations, some celestial satellites, and some rice cookers and pressure cookers...

Although it may sound exaggerated, that's pretty much the gist of it.

Currently, the Lu Yao project can be considered one of the key scientific and technological research and development projects.

But he's only 20 years old...

With a touch of emotion, he continued to hold the parameter report in his hand, listening to Lu Yao's narration as he listened to this project seminar whose outcome was already predetermined.

Today, Lu Yao didn't give a long speech, since everything about this RF chip was revealed after the tape-out data was released.

He came today mainly to explain the plan.

First, optimize and upgrade.

As for what you need it to do during the upgrade process, then assemble a team, allocate funds, and begin research.

My job is to continuously iterate on the large algorithm model. As for the application of the results... that depends on your needs.

It's that simple.

"...So, that's my research direction. The first step is to optimize and upgrade the model of this RF chip, and most importantly, optimize its linearity..."

After finishing the entire report, he put down the manuscript and politely bowed to everyone.

"Thank you everyone, that concludes my presentation."

After finishing his story, he took his seat.

There was no applause.

No need.

Beside him, Lin Zhizhong, vice president of the Science and Technology Research Institute, which also belongs to Fuhua, coughed lightly and said:

"Now, please allow me to talk about the future development direction and related research progress plan of the Beidou satellite navigation RDSS radio frequency chip project developed by our school's outstanding researcher Lu Yao."

He emphasized Lu Yao's identity as "from our school" in his statement, and then said:

"After Researcher Lu Yao's chip model was successfully fabricated, our university attached great importance to it and reported it to the relevant departments in Shanghai immediately. After careful consideration by the city, our university, and various units, it was determined that the project could be included in Shanghai's key scientific research projects..."

In Lin Zhizhong's words about "working closely with all subordinate units," apart from a few bigwigs in military uniforms, everyone else looked like they knew it.

Lin Chih-chung's words actually refer to the "Magic City".

Although the research project on Lu Yao has not yet been allocated funding, it is expected that the funding will be provided by three entities: Shanghai Metropolitan Government, Fuhua Technology, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), and China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC), in a joint effort to develop the project.

The military has special needs and is not allowed to cooperate with local authorities according to regulations.

Therefore, they are separate individuals and cannot be included.

These people were not surprised, as their own unit's main leadership team had already known about this news in advance.

To put it bluntly, isn't this just a piece of fat meat?
If there's meat, we should all eat it together.

It makes no sense, and no one should be allowed to keep it all to themselves.

Even Lu Yao didn't show the slightest surprise. He already knew all about it on the school bus and had no objections whatsoever.

For researchers, all they need is research funding to support their work.

He didn't care where the money came from.

Anyway, it all belongs to the country.

……

After the morning seminar ended, everyone went their separate ways.

To put it bluntly, today's meeting is just a preliminary meeting. The actual funding and research will come later. Today is just a chance to get everyone together; from now on, we're all brothers in arms... that's roughly the idea.

The next step is to draft a cooperation agreement, secure funding, and have each party contribute personnel to form a team and begin research.

On the minibus back, Lin Zhizhong looked at Lu Yao sitting opposite him and said:
"Little Road."

"Yes, sir, please speak."

Looking at Lu Yao's gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest demeanor, Lin Zhizhong's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration and appreciation.

What's truly remarkable is this young man's genius.

Appreciation comes from observing the other person's emotional intelligence, which can be described as extremely high, over a morning.

"What a bright future!" he exclaimed.
"In the next couple of days, the school will compile a list of the top researchers in our field, and you can start building your research team based on your needs."

"Yes, got it."

Lu Yao nodded.

Although this research involved researchers from other institutes, Fuhua Institute of Technology certainly needed to have its own people involved as well.

However… after agreeing, he immediately smiled and said:
"However, I've only just joined and I'm not very familiar with these senior colleagues at the school yet. I'd like to ask my advisor, Professor Sun Liqiang, for advice on the specific list. Besides, I don't have much experience with such a large project, and the school leaders will need to optimize its management. I... I really can't handle it myself."

"what."

Lin Zhizhong, having understood Lu Yao's subtext, smiled slightly.
"Yes, don't worry, no matter what difficulties you encounter, the school will fully support you."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Yao also laughed.

As he was laughing, he felt his phone vibrate.

However, he ignored it completely.

It wasn't until he returned to school and had a meal in the school cafeteria with the school leaders that he finally felt relieved after receiving a lot of encouragement.

He then took out his phone, glanced at it, and narrowed his eyes.

For everyone else, it was just an ordinary morning.

But Luo Xuewei sent a message:

Let's have dinner together tonight. I miss you.

Upon seeing the message, Lu Yao thought for a moment, but instead of replying, he dialed Zheng Xiaofan's number directly.

……

"Dong dong dong."

"Enter."

Hearing the sound, Zheng Xiaofan pushed open the door.

Sitting in the room was the middle-aged man who had met Lu Yao several times.

"Boss, there's something I need to discuss with Lu Yao."

Hearing Zheng Xiaofan's words, the middle-aged man nodded:

"Close the door."

After Zheng Xiaofan came in, he immediately closed the door and said:
"Just now, Luo Xuewei invited him to dinner."

"...?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback and subconsciously asked:

"and then?"

"She sent the message when Lu Yao returned."

Upon hearing his concise words, the middle-aged man instantly understood, and his brows furrowed slightly:
Have you checked Zhao Lijun's communications?

"We've checked, and it wasn't him who contacted Luo Xuewei first."

"You've checked online chat tools too?" "Yes, we're monitoring them in real time. It's definitely not him who sent the message out."

"...So, they've already started monitoring and surveillance on Lu Yao?"

"Yes."

Zheng Xiaofan nodded slightly:
"I've already had people start reviewing the surveillance footage. However, these people are indeed very skilled and have strong counter-surveillance capabilities. We'll need some time to fully understand them."

"..."

The middle-aged man fell into thought.

After about half a minute, he continued:
"First, find the person monitoring him and confirm their identity."

"Yes."

“Raise his security level. His project is about to start, isn’t it? Get security personnel in place right away. No matter what, his personal safety absolutely cannot be compromised.”

"Yes!"

……

Lu Yao was unaware that his bodyguards were about to arrive. After explaining the situation to Zheng Xiaofan, he accepted Luo Xuewei's invitation to dinner.

Time flew by and it was evening.

Luo Xuewei had invited him to dinner today, not a late-night snack.

When the time was almost up, Lu Yao arrived at the appointment on time.

She booked the restaurant today; judging from the name, it should be a French restaurant.

The location is quite nice, in Pudong, where land is incredibly valuable.

At 6:30, he arrived on time.

After arriving at the restaurant, Luo Xuewei hadn't arrived yet. He gave his name and was led to a table.

Then came a 20-minute wait.

They had arranged to meet at 7 o'clock. He arrived early, and she wasn't late either. Around 6:55, she appeared before Lu Yao, wearing a long dress and walking with a fragrant breeze.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

As the waiter pulled out a seat, she gracefully sat down and asked.

"I just got here too."

Lu Yao smiled and shrugged:

"You look beautiful today."

"Thank you."

It's a bit strange, considering that we've already progressed to a physical relationship, but we're being incredibly polite right now.

Then, the waiter brought over the menu, and the two ordered their food separately.

After the waiter left after taking the order, the female spy chief spoke up:
"Aren't you going to ask me why Alice didn't come?"

"..."

Lu Yao's lips twitched.

His expression became strange.

As the memories of the past surfaced, he felt inexplicably nervous and guilty.

Faced with the woman's gaze, he ultimately chose to avoid it, lowering his head to pick up his cup and drink water to cover his embarrassment.

Seeing this, Luo Xuewei smiled slightly:
"What? Are you embarrassed?"

"...Do you really have to discuss what happened that day with me in this setting?"

Lu Yao countered with a question.

But the female spy chief seemed oblivious to his discomfort, and instead shrugged:

"At least for me, it was a great night, wasn't it?"

"..."

Seeing Lu Yao's silence, she smiled and asked again:
"is not it?"

Lu Yao thought to himself, "Aren't you done yet?"
So he simply didn't answer, but instead said:

"Aren't you working tonight?"

"I can't work every day, can I? Can't I take a break?"

She winked playfully:

"Besides, with such a gentleman by my side, even if there is work to do, it can be discussed after dinner with you, can't it?"

I must say, she's quite good at flirting.

Lu Yao looked embarrassed, which made her smile slightly:
How was your day?

Upon hearing this, a thought crossed his mind.

laughed:

"To be honest, I'm quite happy."

"Oh? Has something good happened?"

"Um...yes. But it's not convenient to tell you exactly what good thing happened."

Upon hearing this, the impeccably made-up female spy chief showed a slightly confused expression, but immediately realized what she meant:
Is it work-related?

"……Um."

After Lu Yao responded, he asked curiously:

"How did you know?"

"Isn't it obvious that you can't share happy things with me? Do you really believe me if I tell you it's a woman's intuition?"

"Uh……"

Lu Yao thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second."

Ke Luo Xuewei simply smiled slightly, then picked up her phone, fiddled with it for a few moments, put it down again, and then said to Lu Yao:
"Come back with me tonight."

"?"

Lu Yao was taken aback:
"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you have some good news? You should celebrate. It seems I invited you to dinner at just the right time."

As she spoke, she picked up her phone again and shook it:
"I told Alice not to go to work today. When we get back, she'll be in bed ready to greet you."

"..."

Lu Yao's lips twitched instantly, and he couldn't help but say:

"Isn't your relationship a bit too strange?"

"What's strange about it?"

"...Isn't she your girlfriend?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"you……"

Faced with her question, Lu Yao was momentarily speechless.

Don't know what to say.

Instead, Luo Xuewei herself said:
"Aren't you curious why she listens to me so obediently? She does whatever I tell her to do?"

"……Um."

Seeing Lu Yao's reaction, she smiled slightly:
"Because I am her master, and she... is my slave."

"..."

Lu Yao's lips twitched again.

He said speechlessly:
"I can't quite accept your views on love."

"It's okay if you can't accept it, right? The most important thing is that the three of us get along very well. Don't you miss that night? At least I do."

Her eyes became somewhat hazy.

Lu Yao's lips twitched suddenly.

He glanced down at the tablecloth in front of him and rolled his eyes.

"Don't make trouble."

"what."

The woman chuckled softly, letting him off the hook for the time being, and retracted her nimble toes from under the table.

Soon, the waiter came over carrying an ice bucket and a bottle of wine.

Next came bread, appetizers, and a series of other dishes.

The two started chatting, mostly about wine culture and some interesting things that had happened in the past few days.

Around 7:30, Lu Yao received a message from Hu Li:

"Good morning, baby. I'm awake."

He smiled slightly without realizing it and replied:
"morning."

"Who? Natalia?"

Seeing his expression, Luo Xuewei asked.

"Yes, she told me she got up."

Upon hearing this, the female spy chief's eyes flickered slightly.

And just as Hu Li replied:
"have you eaten?"

Just as he was about to reply with "Having dinner with Vesna," he suddenly heard this:

"Lu Yao, have you thought about what you would do if Natalia found out about us one day?"

"..."

Lu Yao paused in his typing.

A chill suddenly came over my heart.
