The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"Just the two of us? Isn't that the same as the space ability users? That's too few. Even if this project is successfully completed, what we'll create will just be toys that nobody uses."

“There are definitely more than just you and me in the world who possess telekinesis. However, telekinesis is different from martial arts and superpowers. Even if someone awakens their telekinesis, they may not know that it is telekinesis. They may just think it is a special superpower and never tell outsiders. As for telekinesis... unless you are as close as you are when you meet, there is no way to sense it.” A hint of regret appeared on Xue Yingsong’s face.

Seeing Gu Ran fall silent, Xue Yingsong said, "Anyway, I haven't found any other psychic users in Canglong City. Even if we manage to build it, it'll probably only be useful to the two of us. If you still want to continue this project, I will definitely approve the funding for you, but only according to the requirements. I will only approve the most basic funding. Of course, even if it is successfully developed, this technology will not be promoted to the outside world. It will be sealed and unsealed when the time is right."

Gu Ran looked thoughtful and remained silent.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Xue Yingsong looked at Gu Ran. "If you do, feel free to share them."

"I was just thinking... could we reduce the difficulty of operating the mecha? If we could reduce the difficulty, we wouldn't have to limit users to psychic users, or could we artificially create a large number of 'psychic users'?" At this point, Gu Ran raised his head and looked intently at Xue Yingsong. "Principal, my dear principal, you've mastered psychic powers for so long, you don't seem to have any research on the awakening mechanism of psychic powers, do you?"

"Ahem... Mech, is that what you call that thing? It's quite fitting, the original name was a bit too long... Of course I have studied telekinesis, but my research isn't very deep because I lack samples." Xue Yingsong's eyes also became bright as he looked at Gu Ran, his implication quite clear.

"Ahem... Didn't I say we'd postpone it for now and talk about it later?" Gu Ran was a little hesitant to take the bait; he was still somewhat resistant to becoming a "guinea pig."

"In short, if you have any research findings, tell me quickly. Principal, you don't want such interesting research to end up in the trash, do you? That's not something a researcher should do."

"Alright." Xue Yingsong sighed with some regret and said, "As I said before, for psychic power to awaken, one must have neither a supernatural crystal core nor martial arts power, in other words, one must have no spiritual power at all."

"This is one of the necessary conditions for awakening telekinesis. Then, the telekinetic's will must be extremely firm, or rather, tenacious. Generally speaking, such people have very important beliefs, either to uphold something or to protect something. In short, they must possess both. And then..."

"We await our fate."

"Waiting for fate?" Gu Ran frowned slightly; he was now somewhat allergic to the idea of ​​fate.

Xue Yingsong said, "That's right. Having these two conditions is only a necessary condition for awakening mental power. However, it cannot be guaranteed that having these two conditions will definitely lead to the awakening of mental power. The awakening of mental power is entirely dependent on luck."

"Is that so?"

The conditions for awakening a telekinetic user left Gu Ran somewhat bewildered.

Luck is a very elusive thing; this isn't like drawing cards where there's a guaranteed reward.

He wants to do scientific research and develop a mecha that almost every man would like, but finding a suitable pilot for it is too difficult.

"Although it depends on luck, we can't neglect this aspect. What if we find a pattern? Then we can reduce the difficulty of operating and piloting the mechs."

Gu Ran couldn't help but ponder.

"Looks like you still haven't given up." Xue Yingsong smiled and shook his head. "You really have a lot of resilience. No wonder you awakened your psychic powers."

"I'll give you three days to think about it. Take all this information back and review it carefully. Then tell me your answer, whether you want to continue with this project or switch to another one."

......

Outside the light screen.

"Speaking of which, Gu Ran really liked Star Stone Technology back then. However, after he became the Chief Executive, he started to suppress Star Stone Technology. Was it because he was afraid that others would invent weapons like artificial mechanical exoskeletons that could threaten his power?"

Some people couldn't help but sigh.

"You've got it wrong, haven't you? Gu Ran is suppressing Star Stone Technology? He's always liked Star Stone Technology and supported many projects. For example, the energy shield that can isolate most ferocious beasts now was developed with his support, right? Although this technology was mainly used by him to build Meteor City and enhance it."

Immediately, someone refuted this.

Simply refuting the argument did not convince the other party.

“I do remember that when Gu Ran was in power, he hated Starstone Technology. He didn’t even want to apply Starstone Technology to any part of human civilization. He must have encountered something later, which is why he completely changed his mind and even hated Starstone Technology.” Another powerful figure said with certainty.

Neither side could convince the other.

Others also started discussing it, and the result of their discussion surprised everyone.

Some of them thought Gu Ran hated Starstone Technology, while others thought he really liked it.

Why are their impressions so diametrically opposed?

The powerful figures present all turned their gazes toward the women who had a close relationship with Gu Ran.

Gu Qingqing remained silent, Yudora snorted and remained silent as well, Cheng Youmeng shook her head to indicate that she did not know, and Xue Xiling frowned slightly but did not speak.

Everything fell silent.

......

Gu Ran walked through the campus of Lanxin University with her lecture notes in hand.

He felt like he was being tricked. They only told him about the good benefits at Lanxin University, but they didn't mention that new researchers had teaching duties in the first three years.

That's right, Gu Ran is going to give a lecture to this year's freshmen at Lanxin University.

What's even more frustrating is that he was only notified of this shortly before class, leaving him with almost no time to prepare.

"You're Leng Ran? The top scorer in this interview?" Gu Ran, who was about to enter the classroom, saw a disheveled middle-aged man with a thick beard who hadn't shaved in a long time walking towards her.

"What advice do you have?" Gu Ran saw that the other party did not seem to be deliberately making things difficult for him, and seemed to be simply asking a question, so he did not speak too harshly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've heard a lot of people talk about you, so I'm a bit curious about you." The middle-aged man clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute. "My name is Wu Wang. I'm very optimistic about your idea of ​​a small mobile city, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

After saying that, Wu Wang yawned and said, "Oh, sorry, Teacher Leng Ran, I'm too sleepy. I have to go back and catch up on some sleep first."

Gu Ran asked curiously, "How long has it been since Teacher Wu Wang slept?"

Wu Wang looked somewhat bewildered: "How long has it been since I last slept? I don't know. If I want to sleep, I usually just lie down and go to sleep without keeping track of the time."

Well, a 007 classic, capitalists are ecstatic.

"Go back to sleep." Seeing the sleepiness on Wu Wang's face and the dark circles under his eyes that looked like he had overindulged, Gu Ran patted his shoulder.

For Gu Ran, this was just a very ordinary meeting, but the thought that arose in his mind was, "This guy is really going all out."

Gu Ran teaches the basics of Star Stones, which is a general course. Different parts of this course are taught by different teachers.

Generally speaking, the key and difficult parts are taught by experienced teachers, while the simple and unimportant parts are taught by new researchers. New researchers are assigned teaching content that is not too difficult, which serves the purpose of training newcomers, but is also not too easy, so as not to fail to train newcomers.

As the school bell rang, Gu Ran walked into the classroom.

The classroom was already full and very crowded, with people even filling the aisles—many of them were just there to see what Gu Ran looked like.

Once the novelty wears off, they basically won't come back for the next class.

"Sit in on classes? I never thought I'd be so charming one day." Gu Ran couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"I hope what I said made their trip worthwhile."

Gu Ran placed the lecture notes on the podium and glanced at the semi-circular lecture hall.

"I believe everyone already knows who I am, but to avoid some people not knowing, I will briefly introduce myself here. My name is Leng Ran, and I will be one of your teachers for the course 'Fundamentals of Star Stone Studies' this semester."

134. Goodbye Cheng Youmeng 4k

The students from Lanxin University were indeed very curious about Gu Ran, and when they saw that Gu Ran was really so young, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Gu Ran looked even younger than them.

How did he do it? Does he really have genuine talent and skills?

This is a question many people have.

Now that they know Gu Ran's age is at least as rumored, he's unbelievably young. The next step is to see how skilled he is.

Gu Ran began writing on the blackboard.

"Starstone is the most important known energy source in the world, and it has a wide range of uses in both cultivation and scientific fields."

Gu Ran wrote down the key points while recounting the content of the lecture.

Although the blackboard was small for the classroom, and Gu Ran's handwriting was even smaller, many people sitting in the back saw the words on the blackboard as if they were tadpoles. Fortunately, most people in Canglong City practiced martial arts to some extent. Even if they didn't become experts, they could improve their eyesight to some extent by strengthening their bodies. Therefore, they could see Gu Ran's writing on the blackboard clearly.

"The earliest discovery of Star Stones dates back to the era of lord city-states. At that time, humans had not yet built main cities and were scattered into small cities, each with a lord."

"At that time, human power was very scattered. We had to face both natural disasters and beast tides, and there was no human alliance to unite all of humanity's strength."

"So at this time, humanity was extremely weak, constantly facing life and death threats, until humanity discovered the Star Stone."

Gu Ran was extremely familiar with the history of Star Stone; he could recount it fluently even without referring to the lecture notes.

These students are freshmen at Lanxin University. They may have heard about the history of Star Stone before, but this is the first time they have heard it in such detail, and they can't help but show their interest.

Most people enjoy listening to stories, especially when Gu Ran tells them quite well; they are willing to listen attentively.

"It is impossible to know who first discovered the function of star stones, but everyone should know the time, which was around 995. Why do I say around instead of completely certain? Because this year was determined by later historians after extensive research. So I added around here. It's not that I have any objection to those historians, but just out of personal rigor."

"Humans discovered that the energy contained in star stones could be absorbed by the alien crystal core, helping to strengthen the alien crystal core. Therefore, star stones quickly became known to humans in a short period of time. However, because ordinary star stones have many energy impurities, aliens would also absorb these impurities while absorbing the energy of star stones, so they had to remove these impurities periodically."

"Afterwards, in order to find star stones with fewer impurities, humanity began to expand its exploration of the wilderness. The locations of many of our current main cities were discovered during this long-lasting exploration."

"In addition to searching for natural pure star stones, humans have also begun to try to refine pure star stones themselves. This process continues to this day. We are still working hard to refine even purer star stones, but the purity that can be refined is no longer comparable to what it used to be."

"Martial arts practitioners who developed later also tried to integrate star stones into their cultivation at the first opportunity. As a result, star stones also had an excellent effect on martial arts cultivation. Thus, star stones became an indispensable strategic resource for humans to cultivate extraordinary abilities."

"There have been many wars throughout history fought over starstone veins, but most of them were just struggles between cities or even within the main city. It was not until the development of the starstone industry in modern times that the wars became larger and larger, affecting almost all the main cities of mankind."

"If you have studied history properly, you should be familiar with the war that lasted until now. This war completely changed the landscape of humankind. Two major cities disappeared, and a new major city was built, involving nearly 100 million people."

"However, the reason for this war may be different from what many people imagine. It was not because of the struggle for the Star Stone mines, but because the then-human alliance's general administration suppressed the rising Star Stone industry, wanting to keep humanity forever in the pre-industrial era."

Since it was the first lesson, and the part he was responsible for was only one of the simplest parts, Gu Ran didn't talk about anything too profound. Instead, he slowly introduced the lesson by talking about historical stories.

The effect seemed pretty good. Gu Ran glanced around and found that he had captured the attention of most students.

After writing the words on the blackboard, Gu Ran clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's start talking about the properties of starstone now. It's a high-energy substance that exists in three forms: solid, liquid, and gas..."

When Gu Ran suddenly switched to a serious lecture and stopped telling historical stories, many people sighed in disappointment.

"What's next, teacher?"
