Rejecting Tsinghua and Peking Universities: I Will Lead Harbin Institute of Technology to World Lead

(There is no entertainment industry or female celebrities. If you mind if there are female celebrities in the early parts of the story, you can stop reading now. Thank you for your support!!)

The deafening explosion was the final elegy.

The scorching heatwave, carrying rubble and metal fragments, was like the scythe of death, engulfing Lin Feng and his Dragon Flame Special Forces team.

My vision was filled with a blinding white light, the destructive light from the enemy's individual energy weapons.

The excruciating pain of being torn apart in an instant did not last long before consciousness sank into endless darkness.

"Technology...if only our technology were a little more advanced..."

His unwillingness became his last utterance before his consciousness faded away.

……

It felt as if I had been drifting in chaos for millions of years, or as if it had only been a moment.

Lin Feng tried with difficulty to open his eyes, but felt an immense sense of stagnation and heaviness.

He was surrounded by blurry light and shadow and noisy voices, and a strong sense of confinement enveloped him.

"It's a baby! A big, healthy boy! Congratulations, Mr. Lin!"

A joyful, unfamiliar female voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, he felt himself being carefully lifted up by a pair of warm, slightly trembling hands.

"Let me see, let me see my son..." A weak but loving female voice rang in my ears, choked with sobs.

Lin Feng tried to focus his gaze, and what came into view was a young, pale face that was filled with happiness and tears.

That was his mother, his mother in this life, Su Wenqing.

Beside him, a young man dressed in a suit with his hair neatly combed, but who was so excited that he seemed a little flustered, was grinning foolishly. That was his father, Lin Guodong.

I... was reborn?

Did it become a newborn baby?

The willpower honed by his ruthless life in his previous life allowed him to quickly suppress the turmoil in his heart and begin to calmly analyze the current situation.

Just then, a cold, mechanical, and emotionless voice, like a resounding bell, echoed deep within his mind:

[A compatible soul has been detected, 100% compatibility...]

[Binding to the technology simulation system... Binding successful!]

[Host: Lin Feng.]

[System Functions: 1. Provides a technology simulation space where the host can conduct unlimited simulated research and development based on their own knowledge. 2. Successfully replicating the simulated results in the real world will result in rewards based on the value of the results.]

system?

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

As a top special forces soldier in the Dragon Kingdom in his previous life, he had also read online novels in his spare time, so he naturally understood what the "system" meant.

This is an opportunity! And also his golden touch!

[New player gift pack has been distributed, would you like to open it?]

"Activate!" Lin Feng said without hesitation.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained:]

【1. Innate Skill: Photographic Memory (Permanent)】

2. Startup capital: RMB 100 million (funds are from a legal source and have been transferred to the host family account through legitimate channels).

[3. One-time body optimization (minor dose, to improve infant survival rate and basic potential).]

A cool breeze instantly rushed into my brain, as if giving a dusty mirror a thorough cleaning.

Suddenly, every detail of the world around me became incredibly clear and profound.

The subtle lines on the walls of the delivery room, the gazes above the masks of the medical staff, the inconspicuous crease on his father Lin Guodong's suit, the beads of sweat sliding down his mother Su Wenqing's forehead... everything, like a high-resolution photograph, was instantly imprinted deep in his memory, ready to be retrieved and reviewed at any time.

Photographic memory!

At the same time, a gentle warmth swept over his entire body, washing away the fragility of the newborn's body, making him feel energetic and greatly enhancing his control over this body.

He lay in his mother's arms, inhaling the warm scent of milk and sweat, and looking at the pure and unreserved joy on his parents' faces. An unprecedented warmth enveloped his heart, which had been hardened and frozen by the flames of war.

In this life, he has family and people to care about.

In this life, he possessed the key to changing the fate of the nation.

Those technological barriers that once caused his comrades to die on the battlefield and left the country vulnerable to others, he will break down with his own hands in this lifetime!

Technology will become his sharpest blade, cleaving a smooth path to the pinnacle of power!

……

Time flies, flowing swiftly.

Lin Feng grew up like any normal baby, but his overly clear and focused eyes, as well as the occasional contemplation that he showed, which was different from that of an infant, always surprised Su Wenqing.

When the child turned one year old, a variety of items were displayed on the carpet during the "grasping ceremony".

Seals, abacuses, pens, books, coins, toys...

Amid the expectant gazes of many relatives and friends, Lin Feng climbed steadily towards the thick book "Introduction to Mechanical Principles" that Su Wenqing had unintentionally placed in the corner without hesitation, and firmly placed his little hand on the cover.

"Wow! This child is destined to be a scientist!" the relatives exclaimed in goodwill.

Lin Guodong grinned from ear to ear, while Su Wenqing looked at her son thoughtfully.

At one and a half years old, while other children were still babbling, Lin Feng was already able to hold an illustrated encyclopedia and pronounce complex nouns clearly and accurately.

He showed an amazing interest and sensitivity to graphics and numbers.

He can quietly study the wall calendar, appliance manuals, and even the ingredient lists on medicine boxes.

Lin Guodong and Su Wenqing went from initial surprise to feeling somewhat at a loss.

They realized that their son might not just be a smart child, but a true genius beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

In order not to bury their son's talent, they began to consciously guide him and bought a lot of popular science books suitable for children.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, accepted all comers without hesitation, like an insatiable sponge, frantically absorbing all knowledge.

All text and images can be reproduced without error after being seen only once.

His photographic memory became the most powerful engine for accumulating knowledge.

One afternoon, not long after her third birthday.

In his small room filled with books, Lin Feng tried for the first time to concentrate all his consciousness and touch the faint silver light in his mind.

[Do you wish to enter the technology simulation space?]

"yes!"

With a thought, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

He was no longer the three-year-old child in the nursery, but standing in an infinitely vast, futuristic, pure white space.

The ground beneath my feet was smooth as a mirror, its material unknown. Looking up, I couldn't see the ceiling, only soft, evenly distributed light.

At the center of the space is a huge virtual operating platform that flows with the light of data.

[Technology Simulation Space. The host can use their own knowledge to generate corresponding materials and components here, conducting unlimited simulations, combinations, and research and development.]

The system prompts are concise and clear.

Lin Feng walked to the operating platform, a thought flashing through his mind.

The contents of a book he had just read, "Basic Materials Science," flashed through his mind.

Light flowed across the operating platform, and a small piece of aluminum ingot shimmering with metallic luster and a piece of transparent silicon crystal appeared out of thin air and floated above the platform.

It worked!

Lin Feng's heart began to pound with excitement.

This space is the absolute domain where he will unleash his talents and turn the wonderful ideas in his mind into reality!

He exited the space, and his consciousness returned to his body.

In those clear eyes of a three-year-old, an ambition and fire burned that were completely out of character for his age.

He toddled to the study with his short legs and found his mother, Su Wenqing, who was preparing lessons.

"Mom." He looked up, his voice childish but unusually earnest.

Su Wenqing put down her pen and gently picked up her son, asking, "What's wrong, Xiaofeng?"

"I need books." Lin Feng looked into his mother's eyes and said clearly, word by word, "Lots and lots of books. I want to read the encyclopedia, your university physics, chemistry, and math books... and books about airplanes, rockets, ships, cars... all about why they work and how they are made. I want to read them all."

Su Wenqing was completely stunned, and the arm holding her son stiffened slightly.

How can a three-year-old child so clearly and logically ask for university textbooks and professional books?

This goes far beyond the scope of "precocious".

"Xiaofeng, can...can you understand it?" Her voice trembled with disbelief.

Lin Feng didn't speak, but struggled to get down, walked to the desk, stood on tiptoe to pick up a copy of "Advanced Mathematics" textbook that Su Wenqing had opened, casually flipped to a page about calculus, fluently read a definition, and then pointed to the example next to it.

"Mom, the solution to this problem is a bit complicated. If we use another approach, it will be faster."

He wrote down another concise and elegant derivation process on the draft paper.

Su Wenqing stared at the mathematical derivation, which, though written in a childish style, was logically rigorous. He was frozen in place, speechless for a long time.

Shock, bewilderment, ecstasy... all these emotions eventually turned into tears of excitement, which slid down her cheeks.

She suddenly knelt down and hugged Lin Feng tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Okay! Okay! Mom will find you some! Dad and Mom will definitely find you the best books in the world to read!"

From that day on, Lin Feng's reputation as a "genius" was no longer just a secret within his family.

Su Wenqing and Lin Guodong mobilized all available connections—college colleagues, former classmates, friends in the publishing industry…

Boxes and stacks of books began to be moved into Lin Feng's room at an astonishing speed.

From basic popular science books to advanced professional textbooks, and even photocopies of cutting-edge domestic and international scientific journals...

Lin Feng's children's room has been completely transformed into a miniature science and technology library.

Lin Feng, meanwhile, was immersed in this ocean of knowledge, continuously channeling all the nourishment he absorbed into that magical technological simulation space, laying the first solid foundation for his grand blueprint.
