A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 281 Do as I say

"The rain in New Jersey started 30 seconds earlier than expected..."

"New York's gale force has a wind speed deviation of 0.3 meters per second and a wind direction deviation of 3 degrees..."

In his Princeton office, Chen Hui stared at his computer, silently pondering where the problem lay. After a moment, he began to work out the deductions on a draft paper, and then entered the results into the supercomputer for the next iteration.

……

Chengdu, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Research Institute

"When flying at speeds above Mach 8, the plasma sheath causes communication interruptions for up to 15 seconds, and existing quantum communication modules have not yet solved the problem of high-speed data synchronization..."

"The S-shaped air intake under the fuselage relies on plasma shielding to reduce radar reflection, but the plasma density in the thin atmosphere at high altitudes is insufficient, causing the radar cross-section (RCS) to surge from 0.00008 m² to 0.001 m² at a distance of 100 km..."

Duan Xiaofei looked at the test data in his hand, then turned and walked into the laboratory.

……

China, an unnamed wasteland.
In the spacious underground plaza stood a dozen or so middle-aged men with resolute faces. In front of them, a large screen displayed a photograph, surrounded by numerous words.

Silently standing in the crowd, looking at the introduction on the screen, he secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

[Proofs of Yang-Mills equations, Navier-Stokes equations...]

[Synthesizing gallium oxide, a fifth-generation semiconductor, breaks through Western chip blockade and completes the industrialization of gallium oxide...]

[Participated in the development of the fourth-generation engine, solving the problem of engine combustion vibration...]

Each and every one of these incidents is astonishing.

He had heard about these things, but he never expected that they were all done by Professor Chen.

"Professor Chen's contributions and importance to China are already clear to everyone. This mission must succeed; failure is not an option!"

The commander at the front of the group spoke sternly.

Everyone understood the meaning of those words: even if they all died, they would ensure Chen Hui's safety.

"understand!"

But they responded loudly without hesitation, creating a resounding roar in the underground plaza.

"set off!"

With a wave of his hand, the commander sent the soldiers swarming towards their respective fighter jets like ants.

……

In the courtyard house of Beijing,
"Commander, all personnel have been deployed according to the three planned evacuation routes, and reconnaissance of enemy forces and weapons has been completed."

Lin Zhengtian looked at the personnel deployment and enemy positions on the screen in front of him and nodded slightly. "Prepare for action!"

……

In the small town of Princeton, a blond middle-aged man sat in his courtyard, smiling as he watched his children playing in the yard.

Suddenly, he turned on his phone, his smile vanished, and he went to the courtyard.

"Rebecca, Gina, Hakim..."

"Do you want to go out and have some fun?"

"Let your mother take you to Antarctica to see the penguins in a couple of days."

"Okay, okay!"

The three little ones clapped excitedly; they had been clamoring to see the penguins for a long time, and their father had only agreed today.

Looking at his laughing children, he felt a little regretful. He didn't know if he would be able to go home after this mission, but he knew that some things were more important than his own life.

He believes that the day when the world is in harmony will surely come!

Although he is a pure American, his heart is Chinese.

……

"The Philadelphia floods were flash floods; the intensity and timing are both correct..."

In his Princeton office, Chen Hui looked at the information on America Weather Network with an excited expression.

It is not easy to draw the right conclusions from such coarse-grained and imprecise initial data.

Fortunately, he had the accurate data that Huaxia Yuanyuan continuously provided to him, which he could use as a reference to complete the model correction.

"Hailstorm in New York..."

"Washington's heatwave..."

Chen Hui checked each calculation result and finally confirmed that they were all correct.

He stood up happily, walked to the office door, raised his watch, and checked the time: 2:03 p.m. local time on June 14.

"Two o'clock and three minutes past."

Chen Hui muttered to himself, "Light rain turning into moderate rain, accompanied by thunderstorms."

As soon as he finished speaking, the once bright and sunny sky over Princeton suddenly darkened, and a raindrop fell from the sky, landing on the ground outside the office.

Then, fine raindrops fell to the ground, evaporating into a burst of scorching water vapor.

Crack!

The sound of thunder startled Elena and Deng Leyan, who were discussing something in the office.

Chen Hui, however, wore a confident smile.
Your physics level has increased from level 4 (99%) to level 5.

[Congratulations! Six subjects have been upgraded to level 5, and you have gained 1 free attribute point.]

Chen Hui was surprised to find that there was an unexpected bonus. When the model was corrected, the physics system finally broke through the final bottleneck and reached level 5.

With a thought, he summoned the control panel.

[Host: Chen Hui
Chinese Level 5 (1%)

Mathematics Level 6 (67%)

English Level 5 (3%)

Physics Level 5 (0%)

Chemistry Level 4 (51%)

Biology Level 2 (0%)

Physical Education Level 5 (32%)

Geography Level 2 (0%)

History Level 2 (0%)

Politics Level 6 (89%)

Six months passed in the blink of an eye. Even Chen Hui himself did not expect that the final model revision would take so long. Only then did he realize how important the data provided by China was. If he had continued to use the data from the America Weather Network, he probably would not have been able to build this model even if he had been given several more years.

However, he hasn't been idle in the past six months. His major, mathematics, has improved by leaps and bounds, and his Chinese and English have also naturally broken through to level 5. His politics has also improved by leaps and bounds these days, and his proficiency has even surpassed that of mathematics.

Chen Hui's physical fitness has also improved rapidly with continued training, and he has now reached level 5. Chen Hui feels that if he were to participate in the Olympics now, he could win championships in many events based on his physical abilities.

Now that my physics skill has been upgraded to level 5, I've finally filled the last gap and gained another free attribute point.

"Boost my memory!"

With a thought, Chen Hui allocated the free attribute points he had just acquired.

Since there was no hesitation, it means that one's judgment supports this decision, so there is no need to add any further judgment.

These days, while building weather models, Chen Hui has become increasingly aware of the importance of memory. His current memory is certainly sufficient for learning, but it's somewhat inadequate for model extrapolation and real-time calculations. To use a computer analogy, it's like he has enough disk space, but not enough RAM.

Chen Hui had been wondering before, since his level 4 memory was already sufficient to meet his needs, was there any need to further improve his memory?

It now seems that the wonderful uses of memory go far beyond rote memorization.

With a thought, the attribute panel appeared before my eyes.

[Host: Chen Hui
Insight Level 8: (8.2/9)

Judgment Level 7: (7.1/8)

Creativity Level 8: (8.5/9)

Memory Level 5: (5.6/6)

He had been in America for over a year now. It had been a difficult year, but also a rewarding one. He hadn't wasted his time.

In that year alone, he gained a total of 3 free attribute points at Princeton, and also proved the Riemann Hypothesis. Once he returns and publishes it, he will surely gain another attribute point.

Their proficiency in each subject is also improving rapidly, and it is completely different from what it was a year ago.

Now, everything is ready!
Woohoo...

At that moment, Chen Hui's phone vibrated.

When I took it out, I was surprised to find that it was a call from Li Hai.

Chen Hui was a little surprised. This kid had only contacted him on WeChat before, saying that international calls were too expensive and their friendship didn't support such high-cost calls. Why did he call him today for the first time?

"Um, Hui..."

Li Hai's hesitant voice came through the phone.

"Stop, just say what's wrong. I'm scared of you like this."

Li Hai is not usually like this. If he is like this now, it is probably not a good thing. Chen Hui interrupted him directly. Of course, Chen Hui only showed his boyish nature in front of his friends.

"I'm getting married next month, you absolutely have to come! I've reserved a spot for you as a groomsman!"

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

Chen Hui opened his mouth wide.

He knew that Li Hai's evasive answer to the phone couldn't be anything good, but he never expected it to be such a bombshell.

"No way, buddy, you're only a sophomore!"

Are you of marriageable age?

After a long while, Chen Hui was both amused and exasperated.

"Back then, my parents wanted to have a second child to circumvent the one-child policy, so they made me two years older. Although I'm only twenty this year, my ID card says I'm twenty-two, so..."

Li Hai chuckled, looking rather smug.

Chen Hui knew that the legal minimum marriage age in China was 22 for men and 20 for women. In other words, Li Hai, a sophomore, was just old enough to meet this minimum age.

But Zhang San, a notorious outlaw, once said, "If someone takes the law as their bottom line, how despicable is that person?"
"You're not going to study anymore?"

Chen Hui had even bigger doubts. He had heard of college students getting married before, but he didn’t think it was necessary.

"that……"

Li Hai became hesitant again, "Xiao Lin is pregnant..."

“It was indeed my fault, but since she’s pregnant, we can’t let her have an abortion. That would be too much of a blow to her. So we’ve decided to have the baby. We’ve both committed to each other, and no matter how many difficulties we face, we’ll face them together.”

“We’ll both take a year off from school, and I’ll go back to school with her.”

Li Haizhu recounted the whole story in a straightforward manner.

Chen Hui sighed. This wasn't a question of whether or not they could go to school. They could go back to school, but what about the children?

They're all still children; how can they face this newborn life?
Should we just hand it over to our parents?

"I know there will be many difficulties, but things have come to this point, and we can only face them bravely. I will not back down."

Li Hai understood the meaning behind Chen Hui's silence and spoke firmly.

"You need to be back at least three days before July 19th!"

After the conversation started, Li Hai completely let loose, and Chen Hui could even imagine his smug grin.

"No problem, I'll definitely come."

Chen Hui didn't think too much about it and readily agreed.

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

Looking at his phone, he didn't see any messages from Liang Peixuan. Obviously, Li Hai's first call was to him, otherwise Liang Peixuan would definitely have sent him a message to complain.

"July 19th?"

Chen Hui looked up at the distant sky and muttered to himself, "I should make it in time!"

the next day,
early morning,

Beside Carnegie Lake,
Chen Hui and Lin Xiaotang, both wearing vests, ran side by side.

Ten kilometers, in complete silence.
After stopping, Chen Hui walked slowly along the lakeside, then discreetly handed a note to Lin Xiaotang, saying, "This is the evacuation route I designed. Report it to me and follow my plan."

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance of them is comprehensive, but it's impossible to cover the entire Princeton campus with listening devices.

Lin Xiaotang had told him that this section of Carnegie Lake was a blind spot for S.H.I.E.L.D. surveillance.

"Evacuation route?"

Lin Xiaotang frowned. "We've already planned the route, so you don't need to worry about it. You just need to cooperate with our operation and follow us."

"Have you forgotten that I'm a mathematician?"

Chen Hui smiled slightly, "My forte is calculation."

She acknowledged that Chen Hui had achieved great success in mathematics and had even made remarkable progress in other disciplines, but she felt that Chen Hui should not try to take advantage of professionals like them.

This evacuation route was devised by more than a dozen of China's top experts. It was the best evacuation route based on current intelligence. Chen Hui had no such intelligence at all. What kind of evacuation route could he possibly design?

"You need to understand that this operation is not just about your safety, but also about the safety of countless collaborators. If it fails, they will all be in danger as well."

Lin Xiaotang looked at Chen Hui seriously, "So I hope you take this matter seriously, this is not a game."

"Of course I understand."

Chen Hui was also watching the news. After Michael was assassinated and Lin Xiaotang avenged him, S.H.I.E.L.D. arrested several Chinese people in Princeton. These people were most likely there to cover for Lin Xiaotang and to show S.H.I.E.L.D.

"But please believe me, based on my route and plan, we have the best chance of a safe evacuation."

Chen Hui understood that the most crucial issue in this evacuation was that he had to make the people at S.H.I.E.L.D. hesitant to kill him before he could actually escape.

Otherwise, he would have barely stepped out of his Dodge Challenger when a missile came flying at him, so what would be the point of running?
Looking at Chen Hui's determined eyes, Lin Xiaotang's resolve softened somewhat.

She had been living with Chen Hui for almost a year, and she knew him well. Even though the whole thing was absurd, she found it somewhat believable.

"I hope you're not just blindly confident!"

Ultimately, Lin Xiaotang chose to trust Chen Hui, saying, "I will pass this information back, but whether it is ultimately adopted is up to the leadership to decide."

“Tell them that I will not cooperate if they don’t take this route.”

Chen Hui said firmly, "And it has to be fast. The deployment must be completed before the deadline I give you, otherwise we don't know when the next opportunity will come."

"I'm going back for my best friend's wedding!"
