An Youyu raised her voice a little, then pulled up a thin blanket and covered her face. "Please don't ask anymore, okay?"
Lin Mo smiled knowingly, "One last question."
"Since you think I'm right, shouldn't we have a general plan for our future marriage?"
An Youyu bit her lip tightly, feeling helpless and frustrated.
She knew the conversation would end this way...
She and Lin Mo have only been dating for three months, and now they're already planning to get married?
She had always felt that the word "marriage" was very far away from her.
Now that Lin Mo suddenly wants to talk to her about marriage plans, isn't this going to kill her?
In desperation, she could only resort to her charm, her soft, sweet voice melting hearts.
"Brother, can we talk about this later?"
Chapter 741 Double Standards
"Brother, can we talk about this later?"
It has to be said that An Youyu's coquettishness was indeed effective, and Lin Mo was shocked when he heard it.
But he wasn't stupid; he'd gone to great lengths to bring up this topic, so naturally he wanted to get a reasonably good answer.
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrests of the table and chair as he pondered, "Of course we can talk later, but you have to tell me how long I'll have to wait, right?"
"Wait……"
After a silence of seven or eight seconds, An Youyu finally gave a difficult timeframe: "Let's talk about it after the New Year."
"it is good!"
After Lin Mo readily agreed, he was still a little worried and reminded her again, "Little Fish, you have to keep your word."
"I'll ask you again after the New Year. If you dare to renege on your promise then, I'll have to resort to unconventional methods."
An Youyu revealed her eyes. "Are you threatening me?"
Lin Mo once again used the same tactic against her, mimicking An Youyu's tone, "Hmm... how could it not be?"
"..."
The blanket slipped off, and An Youyu hung her head in frustration, reluctantly replying, "I won't renege on my promise."
"That's good."
For the rest of the time, neither of them spoke.
Lin Mo had his back to An Youyu, his hands clapping rapidly on the keyboard.
An Youyu was already used to the familiar rhythm.
These days, Lin Mo is like this every day. She doesn't know what Lin Mo is busy with, and she has secretly watched him a few times.
However, she only saw some extremely complex blueprints, the precision of which left her completely bewildered.
Before we knew it, it was past seven o'clock in the evening.
After An Youyu finished reading the last page of the ancient book, she closed the book, put it back in its place, and then quietly walked over to Lin Mo.
Unsurprisingly, the computer screen still displayed incomprehensible drawings.
This time, An Youyu could no longer suppress her curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Lin Mo, what are these blueprints for?"
Lin Mo's fingers didn't stop typing on the keyboard as he repeatedly modified the details in the blueprints. "The components of a machine are quite complex, so we can only conceive of them one by one. Only after we have a technology research lab and related equipment can we verify them and correct any errors."
Upon hearing this explanation, An Youyu's expression became extremely strange, and she muttered under her breath, "You research things based on ideas?"
Lin Mo stopped what he was doing, turned his chair around, and looked at An Youyu behind him, raising an eyebrow. "Is that not allowed?"
An Youyu opened her mouth, but explained hesitantly, "It's not impossible, but I remember... research relies on trial and error..."
"But there are no conditions."
Lin Mo looked helpless. "If I had a fully equipped science and technology research lab right now, I wouldn't use this kind of conceptual approach to conduct research."
"If we don't have it, we'll just make it."
"make?"
Meeting the girl's earnest gaze, Lin Mo smiled wryly, "Little Fish, do you know how much it costs to build a fully equipped science and technology research lab?"
"How many?"
"A conservative estimate would be at least 600 million, and that's just for a typical scientific research lab. If it were fully equipped, I estimate it would cost around 1 billion."
"A billion?"
An Youyu's eyes widened in surprise. "My God! It costs so much money?"
Seeing her surprise, Lin Mo smiled and nodded in confirmation, "There's nothing we can do about it. As the entertainment era flourishes, the technology sector declines. To ensure the profitability of equipment, all kinds of equipment are becoming more and more expensive."
"Raising the prices of various scientific research equipment raises the bar for scientific research, which in turn leads to fewer and fewer fresh talents in this field and a worse future. The worse the future, the more the equipment manufacturers will raise prices, creating a vicious cycle. This is why the current level of science and technology has not only failed to advance but has actually regressed."
At this point, he let out a helpless sigh, "The scientific research community is like a stagnant pool right now. To revitalize this stagnant pool, there must be external stimuli."
An Youyu listened to Lin Mo's long-winded speech without responding.
She knew nothing about scientific research, and was completely unfamiliar with the scientific research community.
However, she only knew one thing.
Lin Mo needs a technology research lab, but he doesn't have the money to build one.
No money...
You can earn it!
Her eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly took out her phone, opened WeChat, and found a picture in her chat history with Qi Bei. The picture contained Li Tang's bounty mission.
After being formulated by Qi Bei and a group of mathematics professors, the bounty missions of the Litang Academy were divided into five levels: SSS, SS, S, A, and B.
SSS grade is the highest, and B grade is the lowest.
The difficulty of bounty missions varies drastically across different levels, and the corresponding rewards also vary drastically.
B-level tasks are simply the most challenging tasks encountered in Q-level tasks, while SSS-level tasks are world-class mathematical problems, with each question in the bounty pool representing a patented technology.
These bounties are provided by the state, and the technology will belong to the state after the breakthrough.
Furthermore, to encourage mathematicians, the Xia Beilitang Bounty Pool is open to the entire nation. Regardless of your educational background or other circumstances, anyone who can solve the problems in the bounty pool can receive the corresponding reward.
Moreover, the patented technology represented by the problem will also grant you a 5% share of the profits, as well as a medal of honor.
In other words, once this technology generates profit, no matter how much money is made, the mathematician who solves the problem will receive a 5% share.
This reward system is truly a huge investment!
An Youyu didn't bother Lin Mo any further. She sat back down on the single bed in the corner, picked up the laptop from the bedside table, logged into Xia Bei's official website, and entered the Li Tang Bounty Database.
In fact, the Litang Bounty Pool has been open for several days.
In the past, An Youyu would have focused her energy on this much earlier.
But things are different now. She is not short of money, and the orphanage has been taken over by the authorities, so her desire to make money has diminished. More often, she prefers to do things she enjoys.
For example... the restoration of antiquities.
However, now that she knows Lin Mo doesn't have the money to build a technology research lab, her desire to make money has successfully returned.
For her, the best way to make money was through the bounty treasury of the Litang.
The page for the Litang Bounty Database is very simple. Various math problems are divided into five levels, and the content of the problem and the reward amount are clearly marked.
An Youyu quickly reviewed all the questions in the bounty pool and finally focused on the FTSD conjecture. This conjecture is the highest-value SSS-level problem in the Litang bounty pool, with a bounty of up to 500 million for a single mathematical conjecture!
And she had already partially deciphered this conjecture not long ago, so...
It's it!
After deciding on the target topic, An Youyu hesitated again.
The part of the FTSD conjecture that was previously solved is with Professor Qi, but he doesn't seem to believe in what she has solved. Even if she eventually solves the FTSD conjecture, what if the professor still doesn't believe her?
With this question in mind, An Youyu pondered for a long, long time before finally deciding to start with something simple and prove her abilities step by step.
This also allows others time to gradually accept the situation.
Right, that is it.
Hey, I'm so smart!
After revising the drawings, Lin Mo turned around and happened to catch the girl's silly smile. He was amused and got up to go to the bedside, waving his hand in front of her eyes.
An Youyu quickly snapped out of her daze and looked up to see Lin Mo's ambiguous smile. She hurriedly closed the laptop on her lap. "You...you're done?"
Lin Mo nodded, then asked curiously, "Little Fish, what were you laughing at just now?"
"No, it's nothing."
"Lying is not a good habit. Remember to share your happy moments. It's better for the two of us to enjoy them together than to enjoy them alone."
"It's really nothing..."
Seeing that An Youyu didn't want to talk about it, Lin Mo didn't press her further. He sat down next to her, took out his phone and glanced at the time. "Oh, it's already 8:30."
As he spoke, he opened the chat app and browsed around. When he saw that Shuangmu Entertainment's verified account hadn't been updated yet, a look of confusion appeared between his brows. "Didn't Sister Xue say she would make a move tonight? It's already this late, why hasn't there been any news yet?"
An Youyu leaned on his shoulder, looked at his phone screen, and timidly reached out her little finger to open the message board of Lin Mo's social media account.
Suddenly, a series of heated comments came into view.
[Not a single word could be uttered! That's it?]
[The fake academic genius met the real academic genius and was so scared that he didn't even dare to post anything on social media?]
[Tsk, I have to say, you're the one whose image collapsed the fastest I've ever seen. Not just you, but also that An Youyu. When Yueji Music was promoting you, didn't you say you were top students? Now that you've met the top students on the academic honor roll, you two have completely fallen silent.]
[Xia Bei's top students, in the past I would have admitted you were academic geniuses, but now... unfortunately, you've run into the academic geniuses on the Dragon and Phoenix List.]
[Lin, you academic genius, why don't you come out and say something in response?]
