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

The study door closed gently behind me.

Lin Feng locked the door and drew the heavy blackout curtains, shutting out everything from the outside world.

He sat down in that familiar wicker chair and slowly closed his eyes.

The moment the pure white space unfolds before your eyes, the flow of time switches to 1:10.

On the first day, he began his first simulated construction.

A one-to-one virtual construction site was generated in the system space—not a ground factory, but a space dock in geosynchronous orbit. A five-kilometer-diameter ring structure slowly rotated in the void, with a zero-gravity environment inside.

"Step 1: Forming the main keel."

The command was issued, and the virtual raw materials were sent into the space smelting furnace. It was a space version of the Nuwa fusion reactor, with a temperature reaching 100 million degrees Celsius, melting special alloys into a liquid metal stream.

Under precise control of the magnetic field, the metal flow poured down like a silver waterfall, cooled, stretched, and shaped in a vacuum... The 1,200-meter-long superconducting main keel was perfectly formed after 72 hours of simulation.

Error: 3 parts per million.

"Step 2: Prefabrication of hull modules."

The simulation of the ground factory is generated. Three hundred modular manufacturing workshops operate simultaneously, each responsible for building a section of the ship's hull. From armor plates to pipeline channels, from compartment partitions to equipment bases, all components are manufactured with nanometer-level precision.

Lin Feng's consciousness, like that of a god, overlooked the entire situation, adjusting every process parameter:

"In Workshop No. 3, the welding temperature is 0.5% too high, which will cause metal lattice distortion."

"Workshop 27, the cooling rate needs to be increased, otherwise the residual stress will exceed the standard."

"Workshop 158, the fiber orientation of this batch of composite materials is wrong, it has to be scrapped and started over."

Extremely strict.

Because this is a starship that will be flying in space for a hundred years, any tiny defect could turn into a disaster under extreme conditions.

On the seventh day, the ship hull modules were prefabricated.

All modules passed quality inspection and were sent into orbit by a virtual transport rocket, where they await final assembly in the space dock.

Step 3: Track assembly.

This is the most complicated part.

Assembling three hundred ship modules into a complete starship in the zero-gravity, vacuum, and intense radiation environment of space is as difficult as threading a needle in a raging storm.

Lin Feng designed twelve assembly schemes, which were verified one by one in simulations.

Option 1: Use a large robotic arm. However, the docking accuracy between modules needs to reach 0.01 mm, and the vibration of the robotic arm will compromise the accuracy.

Option 2: Magnetic levitation docking. However, control would be unstable in the strong magnetic field environment of space.

Option 3...

Until Option Seven: Telepathic docking based on quantum entanglement.

This is a cutting-edge technology in the system's manufacturing process—quantum entangled particles are implanted at the docking surface of each module. When two modules get close, the entangled particles will generate a "quantum tunneling" effect, automatically correcting positional deviations and achieving perfect docking.

Simulation results show a success rate of 99.9999%.

"This is it," Lin Feng decided.

On the thirtieth day, the simulation of the track assembly was completed.

In the virtual space, three hundred modules, as if controlled by an invisible hand, slowly approach, rotate, adjust their posture, and then... fit together seamlessly.

When the last module was in place, a complete Xuanyuan-class space carrier quietly floated in orbit.

The silver-gray hull gleamed with a cold, hard sheen under the virtual starlight, its streamlined silhouette as majestic as a prehistoric behemoth, and the sensor array on the island superstructure shimmered like compound eyes.

It's breathtakingly beautiful.

But Lin Feng knew that this was just the beginning.

Over the next three years, he will complete the installation and debugging of all internal systems within the system space.

Propulsion systems, energy systems, ecosystems, weapon systems, avionics systems, communication systems... each subsystem needs to undergo tens of thousands of tests.

On the 100th day, the propulsion system ignition test was conducted.

Four fusion thrusters activated simultaneously, ejecting a dark blue plasma plume hundreds of kilometers into the air. Simulation data showed that acceleration performance met specifications, but uneven temperature distribution in the plume would lead to uneven heating of the ship's hull.

Lin Feng optimized the magnetic field confinement parameters and redesigned the nozzle configuration.

Day 300: Closed-loop ecosystem test.

Three thousand virtual crew members entered the ship to begin a year-long period of closed-off life. Air circulation, water circulation, food production, waste disposal... all data were monitored in real time.

In the seventh month, a problem arose: the efficiency of the carbon dioxide absorption system would decrease over time.

Lin Feng introduced genetically modified super carbon-fixing microorganisms from deep-sea algae, and the problem was solved.

On the 600th day, the weapon system underwent live-fire testing.

The directed energy array locks onto a simulated target 10,000 kilometers away and penetrates it in one strike.

The electromagnetic railgun was test-fired, and the projectile reached a speed of 0.1 times the speed of light—which is beyond the scope of traditional weapons.

The quantum jammer was activated, causing all electronic devices within a radius of 100,000 kilometers to malfunction.

The gravitational wave generator... tore apart a simulated asteroid when tested at only one-thousandth of its power.

"The power is too great; a seven-layer safety lock needs to be installed," Lin Feng noted.

Day 900, the final comprehensive test.

The virtual Xuanyuan began a three-month deep space voyage simulation.

It left Earth's orbit and headed towards Mars. Along the way, it encountered simulated solar storms, micrometeor showers, and space debris belts...

All systems are running stably.

When the simulated Xuanyuan spacecraft successfully orbited Mars and released the Fuxi fighter jet to explore the planet's surface, Lin Feng knew—it was a success.

Three years in the system space, three months in the real world.

Lin Feng's consciousness slowly awoke from the deep deduction.

But in his mind, every detail of the Xuanyuan space carrier was crystal clear.

Next, it's time to build the real world.

Lin Feng stood up and stretched his body, which had become stiff from sitting for so long.

He walked to the desk and picked up the red encrypted phone.

It's early morning now.

But he knew that Old Chen was still working.

The phone rang four times before being answered.

"Lin Feng?" Old Chen's voice was tired, but still clear-headed. "So late, is something the matter?"

"Professor Chen," Lin Feng's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness, "I've decided on my new research direction."

"Oh?" Old Chen paused for a moment. "Is it still related to life sciences? The Phase II clinical trials of Qinglong Pharmaceutical are going very smoothly. If you have any new ideas..."

"No," Lin Feng interrupted him, "this time the direction is aerospace."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Spaceflight? You mean... an upgraded version of the Fuxi fighter jet? Or an expansion of the Kuafu system?"

"Neither." Lin Feng took a deep breath and said, word by word, "It's an aerospace carrier."

A deathly silence.

A full ten seconds.

Then, Old Chen's voice came through, trembling with disbelief: "You...what did you say? A...space carrier?"

"Yes," Lin Feng affirmed. "A space carrier with a length of 1,200 meters, carrying 108 Fuxi fighters, possessing deep-space navigation capabilities, and capable of independently carrying out missions for several years."

He paused, then added, "I have completed all the theoretical verification and process design. What is needed now is to gather all the experts in the national aerospace field and launch Project Xuanyuan."

I heard the sound of a chair being pushed away suddenly on the other end of the phone.

Lin Feng could hear Old Chen's heavy breathing on the other end of the phone.

Finally, the old man spoke: "What do you need?"

"Three things," Lin Feng had already decided. "First, all aerospace experts nationwide, including those retired national treasures. Second, the expansion of a base in the Northwest—I want to build a ground prefabrication plant there. Third, the highest level of security authorization and resource allocation rights."

"Project timeline?"

"Three years," Lin Feng stated, providing the results of the system's simulation. "The first year is for ground preparations. The second year is for orbital assembly. The third year is for system debugging and the maiden flight."

"Three years..." Old Chen murmured repeatedly, "Do you know that the Free Nation's space fortress project has been going on for fifteen years, and they haven't even built a model yet?"

"So they are the Free Country, and we are China," Lin Feng replied. "We have Nuwa fusion energy, Fuxi space fighters, a complete industrial system, and most importantly—we have mature theories and technologies."

That last sentence made Old Chen make up his mind.

"Alright." The old man's voice became resolute. "I'll report to the highest levels immediately. I'll give you an answer within 24 hours."

"Furthermore," Elder Chen added, "the name Xuanyuan... is very well chosen. Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese people. This starship truly deserves this name."

The call has ended.

Lin Feng put down the phone and walked to the window.
