Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 396 A Genius with Unfettered Imagination

Inside the Misty Tavern, Zhai Da, who was originally waiting for Wu Yue, seemed to have a new customer.

Although the way they made their appearance was somewhat unusual, the other party did, after all, possess manuscripts that perfectly conformed to the "π" rule, and there were two of them at once.

Give the junior a chance.

Instead of inviting the other person to sit down, they set up a separate table inside, where Zhai Da and Zhou Mo sat facing each other.

Little Wood is eating French fries by the window.

Zhai Da thought about the other party's information.

He had heard that this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination in the eastern province, and a score that was overwhelmingly high, had chosen Harbin Institute of Technology amidst a wave of surprise. This had also led many people to rethink the dominance of Tsinghua and Peking Universities and to take a more serious look at the resurgence of Harbin Institute of Technology.

He is about 182 cm tall and can be considered a handsome man in terms of appearance and physique, which does not fit the stereotype of the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Of course, he's still a bit inferior to the previous handsome top scorer.

Zhai Da flipped through the two manuscripts in his hands, demonstrating his talent in the field of complex numbers. The previous one was "Qi Lin," but the content of these two manuscripts was somewhat special.

"Chip design" and "communication programming".

Compared to the academic talents of other geniuses in subjects like "chemistry" and "mathematics," these two are too specific and too advanced, and seem somewhat out of place in the hands of a first-year college student.

However, after looking at it for a while, Zhai Da finally understood why the system called it "unrestrained imagination".

The former is actually a logic chip based on silicon carbide, a third-generation semiconductor, which is the traditional mobile phone and computer chip.

This is obviously impossible. Not to mention now, even a decade or two from now, this thing will not exist, and it is even less suitable. Silicon carbide is much more difficult to cut than silicon-based semiconductors, and it is impossible to advance the process to the nanometer level. It has been developing robustly and reliably at the micrometer level. Moreover, its technological potential in the field of logic chips is not considered outstanding, and there are many better solutions.

If we had to point out its advantages, they would only be its resistance to high temperatures, high pressures, and radiation, making it suitable for operation in both nuclear and space environments.

However, this is purely a wild idea.

The content of Zhou Mo's manuscript was similar to the assumption that all problems were solved by default. He only used his imagination to describe the "silicon carbide logic chip". It was very rough and the content was not valuable. However, the system reluctantly accepted his talent.

The other set of "communication programming" notes is also quite abstract, similar to an Internet of Things (IoT) communication protocol. Zhai Da doesn't know much about this either, but perhaps Cheng Mo can understand it.

But overall, it's all just a castle in the air.

The system reluctantly acknowledged the talent.

"What's your major, junior?"

Zhou Mo felt a slight excitement at meeting his idol: "I'm an aerospace engineer."

Zhai Da raised an eyebrow. Chips + communications + aerospace, what kind of family is this?

He roughly understood Zhou Mo's personality: a talented, unconventional young man who dared to think of anything and was willing to do anything.

But in any case, he is indeed a genius who can be absorbed into "π".

Zhai Da asked curiously, "How do you know about π?"

Zhou Mo said earnestly, "When I enrolled, Teacher Yu mentioned it briefly. Because I was really interested, I inquired about it little by little. Teacher Yu also told me to learn from you, so I prepared some things in my spare time."

Zhai Da was probably only blank for a few seconds before Zhou Mo prompted him, "Yu Jinghui, the director of the admissions office."

"Oh, Director Yu. He's probably very happy; he recruited three top scorers in two years."

Although the two generations and three individuals were not obtained through his efforts but were reported out of nowhere, they were still genuine achievements.

So cool.

As they were talking, the tavern door was pushed open again, and Wu Yue walked in.

Zhai Da decided to put the topic aside for today. With a new member joining, he didn't need to devote too much energy to it yet, and there were many things to do after being away for a month.

So he said to Zhou Mo:
“π is nominally a club, but it is not affiliated with the school. We have many members from other schools, so it is more like a club.”

"We will provide some conveniences, hold regular gatherings, help each other, and also recruit people internally for some projects. Of course, for you, your studies should be the priority in the short term."

"I have approved your membership application in principle. I will send you the contact person's phone number later, and she will follow up on the follow-up matters."

Zhou Mo noticed that Zhai Da and his group had arrived, and with great tact, he stood up and said, "My contact information is on the manuscript, so I won't bother you today, senior!"

Zhai Da smiled and nodded. This junior was surprisingly sensible, more perceptive and mature than the average freshman.

But before Zhou Mo pushed open the door, he turned back and added:
"Senior, the first-year courses are very easy. If I have the opportunity to join the 'Mechanical Core Research Institute,' I am willing to do anything, even an internship."

Zhai Da didn't agree on the spot. Members who are to be used need a certain period of observation and a suitable opportunity and position. However, Zhou Mo's talent seems to be quite versatile.

Moreover, the silicon carbide project team is indeed short-staffed.
So he said gently, "I will consider it, but don't let your studies suffer. I don't want the principal to call me in for tea and say that I ruined a top scholar."

"No way! Trust me, I can handle it."

After Zhou Mo left, Zhai Da sat down at Wu Yue's table, and the latter asked curiously, "A new member?"

Zhai Da nodded: "Quite a special young man, this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination in Dong Province."

Wu Yue placed "The Severed Finger" on the table, sighed, and said, "I stayed up all night to finish reading the book."

"do you like it?"

After much persuasion, Brother Shu finally decided to tell the truth: "You win!"

Zhai Da raised an eyebrow smugly; that was exactly what he wanted to hear!

At first, Wu Yue felt particularly awkward about the protagonist's name and was already planning how to complain to Zhai Da the next day. But once she got into the story, she was quickly captivated by it.

He had read all of Zhai Da's works, but he still liked "The Severed Finger" the most.

The protagonist of the book goes from a police academy failure to a disillusioned youth. Through a series of events and personal choices, he grows into a meticulous and observant detective who ultimately orchestrates the dismantling of three interconnected large-scale "beggar gangs".

Especially in the finale, the protagonist not only demonstrated his own talents but also fully mobilized social forces to launch a city-wide manhunt, giving viewers a sense of surging unity and solidarity.

Sometimes tears aren't necessarily because of sadness, but because of being moved. Wu Yue admitted that he got goosebumps and his eyes reddened when he finished watching.

Wu Shusan is not like the characters in traditional detective novels or Western superhero movies. He is like a stubborn mushroom sprouting from the soil, taking root in the most down-to-earth urban life. He never considers himself a "hero," but his beliefs are constantly evolving.

From "You can't turn down money," to "Your reputation is more important than money," and then to "Your reputation is more important than your life."

Until the very end: there are always some things that are above all else, regardless of life or death.

In terms of ability, Wu Yue felt that the characters in the book were still quite a bit short of the real-life counterpart he was.

But that complete growth path is really impressive.

Wu Yue liked everything about the character, so she gave up on arguing with Zhai Da about whether the name could be changed.

He is certainly handsome, isn't he?
"Congratulations, another excellent work."

Zhai Da nodded: "That's natural, it doesn't even matter who the author is!"

Wu Yue pursed her lips, but couldn't really refute it: "Let me tell you about the company."

Zhai Da was quite at ease with Wu Yue in charge of this area. The reason he still had to meet with Wu Yue was not to give any instructions or directions, but simply to express his emphasis on "Yueda Catering".

After exchanging information, Wu Yue informed Zhai Da of the company's next plans. For example, the company's funds had recovered to nine figures, and the expansion into the three northeastern provinces would not stop them. They planned to send "paratroopers" to Beijing and Shanghai to scout ahead.

Zhai Da interrupted, "Wait, is he a commercial paratrooper, or a paratrooper in the actual sense?"

Because they actually have paratroopers.

"Uh, in a commercial sense, of course."

Wu Yue thought to himself, "I'm doing business, do you think I'm playing a real-time strategy game?"
After eating a French fry, Wu Yue looked out the window at the busy employees.

Zhai Da doesn't come often, and there are fewer and fewer familiar faces, but for him, he can call out the name of every face here and roughly knows their family situation.

Sometimes when employees' families are present at gatherings, their wives, children, and elderly relatives all show him great respect and gratitude for the excellent working conditions he has received.

"Now that there are more people, the burden is heavier. If the company goes bankrupt, I'll be okay. I haven't spent much of the money I earned. It's enough for half a lifetime, if not a lifetime. But it's really painful to see hundreds of my colleagues unemployed."

"Many people have just started to enjoy a good life, gotten married, bought houses, and had children. If they fall from grace, the impact could be too great."

Zhai Da smiled and said, "So everyone will work together and make a concerted effort to prevent you from falling. Even if you do fall, countless people will come to your aid."

"Does that sound familiar?"

"Someone once told me that."

"That makes a lot of sense. I never thought I'd be facing the same problem as you one day."

Zhai Da waved his hand: "No, I will stand tall forever."

Little Wood nodded subconsciously.
