After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 378 Xu Lin's First Lesson of the School Year (Career)

In fact, besides the two major domestic game companies, there are many other game companies that want to cooperate with Xu Lin, but Xu Lin is nowhere to be found.

Outside of the gaming industry, even more companies are trying to collaborate with Xu Lin.

Domestically, it's those few well-known companies, like Alibaba and ByteDance.

Internationally, there are companies like Google, Facebook, and Nvidia.

These companies are all large corporations, some even incredibly wealthy.

Among ordinary people, many may not yet understand what changes Xu Lin's virtual world will bring to the world, but these businessmen and world-class elites cannot possibly be unaware of it.

But Xu Lin didn't want to see them.

I don't want to see them right now, at least not right now.

He needs to have enough leverage, such as having the president personally pick him up at the airport when he goes to North America.

Dignity resides only on the edge of the sword; this is an ironclad truth.

Only when Xu Lin has enough leverage will everything be negotiable.

After all, North American politicians and Jews were not entirely convinced of his abilities.

The next morning, Xu Lin set off for Beijing and discussed the construction of a data center with several bigwigs.

This data center will be located somewhere in the central region and will be directly linked to nuclear weapons, with the same level of security as the Three Gorges Dam.

Because this data center is very large, Xu Lin will be able to accommodate the login of everyone in the entire China region.

So here's the problem: if someone tampers with this database, wouldn't that be putting themselves at odds with over a billion people?

In reality, this data center can cover the entire East Asia, Southeast Asia, North Asia, and Central Asia, basically encompassing most of Asia. At that time, it will not be a problem to log in 3 billion people at once, and China will naturally be among them.

This project is expected to begin in December.

China's infrastructure development is very fast; it can be completed within six months if resources are concentrated.

Aside from discussing data center issues in detail, other issues are not so important in this matter.

After the conversation, Xu Lin met with Pei Lingyun, Pei Danqing's father and one of Xu Lin's fathers-in-law, alone.

"When is Danqing's due date again?"

The old father-in-law asked.

At his level, he actually knew a little about how many women Xu Lin had, and that there were quite a few.
Ok.

This is it.

If this were any other person, even in a marriage between equals, Pei Lingyun would have been furious. Given the Pei family's circumstances, how could they allow their daughter to be one of someone else's wives?

But Xu Lin is an exception.

Can you imagine how high this young man is?

Because Xu Lin was so outstanding, Pei Lingyun couldn't say anything more.

"Around mid-November, it depends on the situation at that time, but basically it will be in November."

Have the children been named yet?

"The boy's name is Jingqing, and the girl's name is Wenjun."

"Hmm, the name sounds nice." Pei Lingyun pondered for a moment and felt quite satisfied.

"What about Old Chi's daughter? And what are the names of her two children?"

"The boy's name is Chongyan, and the girl's name is Daoyun."

"It's also very good."

Pei Lingyun patted Xu Lin on the shoulder and said, "Now that you've settled down and have a child, no matter how busy you are with work, you should make time to spend with your family. Work is never-ending, so family should be given a very important place, especially when the child is young. You should also take care of balancing family and work."

"I understand, don't worry."

The two chatted for quite a while before parting ways.

Not long after, Xu Lin went to the old man's study again.

This wasn't the first time Xu Lin had met the other party during his trip to Beijing; the other party had been present during their conversation that morning.

However, the discussion was quite formal back then, but it's much more casual here in the study.

After the two sat down, the old man poured Xu Lin a cup of tea.

"I feel a little embarrassed that you poured me tea."

Xu Lin smiled.

"Your achievements and contributions are already immeasurable. What's wrong with me pouring you a cup of tea? Don't be so polite with this old man."

"it is good."

"We are all quite worried about your safety. You are so amazing now, you are already the greatest scientist in the world, even in this century. Your existence will allow China to be at least thirty years ahead of others in artificial intelligence and the virtual world. In other words, in the future, at least in these two fields, China will dominate the world. And artificial intelligence and the virtual world are the future of the future, which means that China will replace the United States as the world's only superpower. And the key factor in this outcome is you."

"One of the important factors is that even without me, China would have reached this position in the future. According to historical cycles, we are still in the upward phase."

"You are of utmost importance; to say you are the most important is already an understatement."

The old man continued, "That's why we're worried about your safety. We're really afraid that the country on the other side might go crazy and attack you."

"I'll be fine, don't worry."

Xu Lin briefly explained the monitoring issue with the Moon Goddess to him.

"so smart?"

"Intelligent life, that's certainly impressive; that's the power of technology."

Xu Lin took a sip of tea and continued, "But the benefits that artificial intelligence brings to the human world are not as great as those of the virtual world. In the foreseeable future, at least for the next twenty years, the future of humanity will be the virtual world, which can benefit many people and many fields."

"What about twenty years from now?"

"Twenty years from now, I think we humans will be able to set foot in the stars."

Xu Lin mentioned his idea: he would begin researching aerospace within ten years, and if all went well, China would be able to take the lead in embarking on the journey to other planets.

Can we do it within twenty years?

"Xu Lin, your idea is brilliant. I wonder if I'll be alive to see that day?"

The old man was deeply moved.

"You're not even eighty yet, don't worry. Give me ten years, and the world will undergo earth-shattering changes. Ten years from now, maybe you'll be able to take a spaceship to Mars to see the scenery."

"Haha, good, good, I'll have to take a good look then!" The two chatted for a long time, talking about all sorts of random things.

That evening, Xu Lin had dinner and then flew back to Jiangdu.

Because he was going to teach his students the next day.

In the blink of an eye, the freshmen military training has come to an end.

The first lesson of the new semester was naturally given by Xu Lin.

In fact, there were no other teachers, because only Xu Lin could teach the three courses he offered; no other teacher could.

Xu Lin's goal was to cultivate top-tier national talent, not to develop industrial products.

For example, in traditional university education, students take a certain number of classes each day and each week, and then in their senior year, they have to go on internships to complete their graduation tasks before they can graduate.

Xu Lin's place has changed a lot. His students only need to attend classes for two days a week. After those two days are full, the rest of the time is their own.

With so few classes, what can students learn?

Nonsense! You spend four years in college, filling the first six semesters with courses. What can you possibly learn? Graduation is all about your resume, how impressive it is, and all that other stuff. It's not as worthwhile as working on improving your social skills.

Not to mention, many university courses are now disconnected from society, and many people only really learn skills to make a living when they start working.

Of course, this excludes exceptionally outstanding students who achieve something during their university years, but not the national scholarship, which is not rare. Instead, it's those really brilliant students who have their own inventions and creations during their university years. These people are snapped up before they even graduate, while the vast majority of people are just picked over by others. To exaggerate, tens of thousands of people compete for a few dozen positions, and there are plenty of master's and doctoral degree holders among them. It's truly a case of heroes from all over the world being as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Nowadays, PhDs aren't as sought-after as they used to be.

Xu Lin's goal is to cultivate the most outstanding talents.

Otherwise, if I'm this powerful, who will inherit my legacy?
My children won't be able to become successful for another ten or twenty years!

September 24th was a sunny and cloudless day.

In the morning, shortly after the students arrived at the classroom, Xu Lin sent a message to the class group: "Everyone, gather at the school gate within fifteen minutes, quick!"

Actually, it doesn't even take fifteen minutes.

Fifty people arrived within five minutes.

Upon arriving at the school gate, everyone saw two large buses.

Xu Lin and Principal Li Yunfei are both here.

"Hello, teacher! Hello, principal!"

Li Zhijun took the lead in greeting Xu Lin and the others, with Xu Lin naturally standing ahead of the principal.

After Li Zhijun started, everyone else followed suit and greeted her.

Xu Lin nodded and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you to my lab to experience the virtual world."

"Wow, really, teacher?"

"Teacher, can we experience the virtual world?"

Everyone was shocked.

They thought that Xu Lin was going to teach them today, just like other students, sitting in the classroom and watching the teacher lecture on the platform.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lin said he would take them to experience the virtual world.

"Of course, get on the bus quickly. Today's lesson is to experience the virtual world. We won't be taking any other classes."

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Teacher, you're so great! Mwah, I love you, teacher!"

Xu Lin just smiled and didn't say anything. Don't think that he's not strict just because he teaches fewer classes.

These students are not exceptionally gifted geniuses, which means they are destined to put in a certain amount of effort and hard work.

Fifty students boarded two shuttle buses in an orderly fashion.

"Speaking of which, I'm also really looking forward to the virtual world."

Li Yunfei laughed heartily.

"You'll find out later."

Xu Lin and Li Yunfei were the last to get on the bus.

More than half an hour later, two shuttle buses arrived outside the laboratory.

Xu Lin's two laboratories are located here.

Both are located in the same building.

Xu Lin had previously booked the entire building because he would be researching other projects in the future. As the number of projects increased, the laboratory would also become larger and larger, so it was normal for him to need an entire building.

Xu Lin led everyone upstairs.

The laboratory is on the sixth floor. Currently, the fourth floor, from the sixth to the ninth floor, is used for virtual world research. Each floor has an area of ​​2,800 square meters, which is quite large.

When everyone entered, including Li Yunfei, they were all surprised and amazed. Putting everything else aside, the level of science fiction inside the laboratory was astonishing; it was truly futuristic.

One student couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher, this place looks so sci-fi!"

Xu Lin: "Investing forty billion, isn't that sci-fi-worthy?"

"Wow!"

"fear!"

Everyone exclaimed.

"But these are minor details, not the main point. Come with me, let's go into the virtual world and take a look!"

Xu Lin waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him.

As Xu Lin entered, the researchers in the laboratory greeted him warmly.

These people all liked Xu Lin. On one hand, Xu Lin really spent money, giving out millions in rewards at the drop of a hat. On the other hand, Xu Lin was really awesome, and they admired him.

"This is Li Yunfei, the president of my university, and these are my students. As you all know, I have opened classes at the university, so I brought them here to class today."

Xu Lin briefly introduced everyone to the researchers.

Wu Xiulian arrived quickly.

Xu Lin said to him, "Old Wu, we're going to enter the virtual world together later to measure some data. You guys keep a record outside."

"it is good."
