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

After China extended invitations globally, Lin Feng didn't remain idle.

While three years passed in the outside world, he had a full three hundred years in the system space. Three hundred years of burning thought was enough for him to push existing technology to its limits, enough for him to forge the most advanced spears and the most powerful shields in the real world.

We must both defeat the enemy and protect our planet.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng's consciousness sank into the system's simulation space. A pure white world unfolded before him, with the time flow set to its maximum—1:100. One day outside was equivalent to one hundred days here.

He stood in the void, and two cutting-edge technologies that he had personally developed appeared before him.

The first item is the ultra-compressed laser weapon. This energy technology was reverse-engineered from the ruins of Atlantis and, after multiple upgrades, has become the most powerful attack method currently possessed by humanity. Its principle is to compress massive amounts of energy into an extremely fine beam of light, releasing it instantly, enough to penetrate any conventional defense.

The second item is the Nezha Defense System. It is a shield specifically designed to withstand ultra-compressed laser weapons. Its core is a gradient energy dissipation-instantaneous regeneration material, which can dissipate energy layer by layer the instant it is attacked and complete self-repair in a very short time.

Both the spear and the shield originated from his hand.

But that's not enough yet.

Faced with that planetary spaceship capable of traveling at the speed of light, and that high-dimensional being that once extended the "subordinate" invitation from above, our existing weapons and defenses are likely just a thin sheet of paper.

Lin Feng closed his eyes and began to deduce.

The upgrade direction for the ultra-compressed laser weapon is—faster, stronger, and with even more terrifying penetrating power. He wants this spear to have the ability to truly threaten planetary targets.

The upgrade direction for Nezha's defense system is to make it more resilient, recover faster, and withstand more intense attacks. He wants to make this shield an absolute barrier that the enemy cannot penetrate.

Within the system space, time is burning at a rate a hundred times faster.

One year, two years, five years, ten years...

Lin Feng's consciousness was immersed in endless deductions. Every failure meant starting over, and every small breakthrough was worth verifying repeatedly. The energy compression limit of the supercompression laser was broken time and time again, the focusing accuracy of the beam was improved time and time again, and the power calculation model was revised time and time again.

Meanwhile, the material structure of Nezha's defense system is being repeatedly restructured. The efficiency of gradient energy dissipation has increased from 90% to 95%, and then to 99%. The instantaneous regeneration speed has been shortened from ten seconds to five seconds, and then to one second. He is searching for that perfect balance—one that is both tough enough and has a fast enough recovery speed.

In the system space, there is no day or night, only the flame of thought burning eternally.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the outside world, only a month has passed.

When Lin Feng exited the system space, his eyes showed no weariness, only a profound tranquility. After ten years, he had finally completed a comprehensive upgrade of the two technologies.

The first item is the ultimate form of ultra-compressed laser weapons—photon weapons.

Its speed reaches true light speed, with no delay and no possibility of evasion. Its penetrating power is increased dozens of times, enough to pierce through a kilometer-thick alloy armor in an instant. Its range is wider, capable of simultaneously locking onto hundreds of targets for blanket strikes. Its power is even more terrifying—a single full-power launch is equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of tens of thousands of nuclear weapons.

This is the greeting gift Lin Feng prepared for his enemy.

The second item is the ultimate form of Nezha's defense system—Home Guardian.

Its core materials have been completely restructured, achieving a gradient energy dissipation efficiency of 99.9%, the theoretical limit. Instantaneous regeneration capabilities have been increased more than fivefold; any damage caused by an attack can be completely repaired in a maximum of three seconds. Lin Feng conducted tens of thousands of simulation tests in the system space, and the conclusion was singular—even his newly developed photon weapon could not penetrate the Home Guardian's defenses.

The spear and shield were made by the same person. The spear could not pierce the shield, but the shield could block the spear.

This was Lin Feng's worst-case scenario plan for humanity—even if they couldn't defeat the enemy, at least they could ensure that Earth wouldn't be destroyed. As long as they held the line, time was on humanity's side. He believed that one day they would find a way to completely annihilate the enemy.

After perfecting the theory, Lin Feng didn't delay at all.

He transmitted the complete blueprints through the highest-encryption channel to the newly formed global scientific research alliance team. It was a super team composed of thousands of top scientists from more than thirty countries, with only one goal—to complete the comprehensive upgrade and transformation of the ultra-compressed laser weapon and the Nezha defense system before the enemy arrived.

"We only have three years," Lin Feng said, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces in the video conference. "To be precise, it's two years and eleven months. The enemy is approaching, and our light-speed warships are returning. They will follow behind and arrive in the solar system together."

"All resources are in place. Factories, laboratories, and production lines around the world are all open to you. What I need is—to complete the first operational deployment of photon weapons and Homeguards before the enemy arrives on Mars."

On the screen, scientists from various countries looked solemn, but there was no sign of backing down in their eyes.

"clear."

"receive."

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

Voices came from all over the world, converging into a single promise.

Lin Feng nodded and disconnected the communication.

He didn't rest. He turned around and lay back down in the consciousness connection pod, closed his eyes, and the system simulation space reopened.

This time, he has more to do.

He only used ten years out of three hundred years. There are still two hundred and ninety years left, enough time for him to fully upgrade the other core technologies as well.

The Azure Dragon Gene Serum—it's the foundation for enhancing human physical and mental abilities. If war were to break out, frontline soldiers would need stronger physical capabilities, faster reflexes, and a more resilient will. He wanted to take the serum's enhancing effects to the next level, building upon the existing foundation.

White Tiger Powered Armor—that's the ultimate equipment for individual combat. Facing potential amphibious assaults and close-quarters combat, soldiers need stronger protection and more terrifying firepower. He wants to incorporate some principles of photon weapons into existing designs to create a true "individual war god."

The light-speed warship—that's humanity's vessel to the stars. If the Martian defenses fail, it will be the last ark. He wants to further enhance its speed and defenses, making it a true Noah's Ark capable of carrying the flames of civilization.

Within the system space, Lin Feng's consciousness once again immersed itself in endless deductions.

Three hundred years is just the beginning.
