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

【Ding! 】

A crisp notification sound rang out deep within Lin Feng's consciousness.

[A host-led, host-developed microsystem for the bio-modification of natural satellites has been successfully manufactured and validated in the real world.]

[Project rewards are now being distributed...]

[Reward 1: Increased space-time flow rate.]

[Description: The system's simulated spatial time flow ratio has been permanently increased from 1:10 to 1:100. That is, one day in reality is equivalent to one hundred days in the simulated space.]

The data stream visually illustrates the changes: the dotted line representing the timeline suddenly became ten times denser! This means that Lin Feng will have ten times more time resources available for theoretical deductions, technical breakthroughs, and complex simulations within the system space! What is a short week outside is equivalent to nearly two years of dedicated research for him; what is a month outside is equivalent to more than eight long years.

[Reward 2: System simulation space optimization solution library unlocked.]

[Description: When the host encounters a bottleneck and is at a loss in core technology research and development, the system can intelligently generate up to nine different technical paths or optimization solutions for the host's reference based on the current research objectives and existing data.]

Nine beams of light, each a different color and representing different possible paths, floated like stars in the system space. This didn't provide a direct answer, but rather offered nine distinct signposts—all potentially leading to success—when researchers needed them most, greatly broadening their thinking and reducing the risk of getting stuck in a dead end due to fixed mindsets.

Lin Feng's consciousness sensed these two brand-new rewards, his heart surging with emotion. Time! For scientific research, especially pioneering research like his that leads civilization forward, the most precious resource is time. The 1:100 flow rate ratio gives him even more confidence to challenge those cutting-edge theories that would require decades, or even generations, to complete.

"System, this upgrade has come at just the right time," Lin Feng thought to himself. The zombie virus crisis spurred the creation of "Future," the dream of a lunar home was realized with "Guanghan," and what's to come—whether it's "Wukong" protecting their home, "Baihu" exploring the galaxy, or even more distant deep-space travel and interstellar migration—all require massive amounts of groundbreaking theoretical innovation as a foundation. These two rewards are undoubtedly a timely help, and even more so, a powerful boost!

He could almost see it all unfolding: with time accelerated a hundredfold, groundbreaking technological theories were rapidly perfected; and with crucial "solution hints" at critical moments, seemingly insurmountable scientific barriers were being broken down one by one. Chinese technology would iterate at an unprecedented pace, not only leading the world but also rapidly acquiring the potential to venture into deep space, explore the Milky Way, and even search for extraterrestrial civilizations and achieve truly large-scale space colonization!

As the turmoil in his mind subsided, Lin Feng turned his attention back to reality.

The success of the Guanghan Base marked a significant milestone in the immigration plan and provided China with a valuable strategic buffer and a period for resource accumulation. However, Lin Feng's efforts did not stop there. In the six months following the system notification, he devoted most of his energy to the Northwest Base, leading the final push on the two major strategic projects, Wukong and Baihu.

With the new time advantage gained from the system space, he is quicker in thinking and more thorough in considering real-world R&D problems, often able to pinpoint the key issues incisively.

Northwest Base, inside the massive final assembly plant.

The first phase of the core module of the "Wukong Space-Based Weapon Platform" has completed ground assembly and testing. It is not a simple weapon station, but a behemoth with a cruciform main structure, a huge fusion reactor energy compartment at the center, and four arms carrying different functional modules. Although it is only the first phase of the module, its size far exceeds that of the Xuanyuan-class space carrier, resembling a floating steel mountain.

At this moment, it is undergoing its final full-system ground simulation and commissioning. The superconducting energy circuits hum, the cooling system operates efficiently, and the massive directed energy turret is conducting a low-power firing test, targeting a specially made ultra-high-temperature target one kilometer away. The beam flashes, and the center of the target melts through instantly, leaving the edges clean.

"Energy transmission efficiency is 99.2%, exceeding the design target by 0.7%!"

"The beam focusing accuracy has reached 98.5% of the theoretical value!"

"The platform structure exhibits perfect stability under simulated orbital microgravity and launch stress!"

A series of good news came from the testing team. The chief engineer excitedly reported to Lin Feng: "President Lin, all ground tests for the core module of Wukong Phase I have passed! We can enter the orbital assembly phase at any time!"

This means that the transformation of Wukong from theory to reality has been successful. The next step is to disassemble it into modules suitable for heavy-lift rocket launches, send them into low Earth orbit, and then perform the final assembly, activation, and deployment in space. That will be the moment when the Eye of Divine Punishment, hanging in the heavens, truly opens.

At another highly confidential testing site, the White Tiger Power Armor project has also entered the final stage of human-machine integration testing.

Unlike Wukong's immense size, Baihu pursues ultimate leanness and power. On the testing ground, three streamlined, silver-white armored vehicles stand silently, their lines brimming with explosive power, and faint blue energy streams flowing through their joints. A special forces soldier, selected from across the entire army and possessing top-tier physical fitness and reflexes, takes a deep breath and walks towards one of the vehicles.

With the assistance of technicians, he entered the armored vehicle. The hatch closed, and the neural connection system activated automatically.

At first, the armor remained motionless. A few seconds later, the helmet visor suddenly flashed an icy blue light. Then, the armor raised its arm, the movement slightly awkward, but quickly becoming fluid and natural. It began to walk, from slow to fast, and finally, with a sudden sprint, it covered dozens of meters in an instant, creating a gust of wind! Immediately afterwards, the miniature vector thrusters on the back of the armor briefly ignited, enabling it to complete a short, low-altitude jump and a precise turn.

"Neural signal delay of 0.003 seconds! Reaching the theoretical limit of the human-machine integration principle!"

"Basic strength enhancement test: Lifting a five-ton weight with stable movement!"

"In mobility tests, it achieved a 100-meter sprint time of 3.1 seconds and demonstrated perfect overload handling during emergency stops and steering!"

"Life support systems, detection systems, and communication systems are all online and functioning normally!"

Inside the armor, the special forces soldier's voice, brimming with barely suppressed excitement and awe, came through the speaker: "Report! It feels...it feels like my own body has been enhanced a hundredfold! Vision, strength, speed...unbelievable!"

At the test site, the materials scientists, energy experts, and AI engineers involved in the White Tiger project exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with pride. This is not just a suit of armor; it is a revolution in individual combat capabilities, the prototype of future space warriors. Once the final extreme environment adaptability tests and weapon system integration are completed, the White Tiger will be officially finalized, becoming another invincible weapon in China's hands.

Lin Feng stood in the command center between the two test sites, looking at Wukong's test data and Baihu's agile figure on the big screen, his gaze calm and profound.
