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

For most freshmen, campus life at Harbin Institute of Technology is fresh and vibrant.

Classrooms, clubs, social gatherings, strolling through the historically rich campus... every corner is brimming with youthful energy.

However, there was one person who seemed to be completely detached from all of this.

Lin Feng.

This prodigy, who scored a perfect score and chose Harbin Institute of Technology over Tsinghua and Peking Universities, causing a sensation across the internet, vanished without a trace after the start of the semester.

He did not appear in any of the classes.

I did not participate in any freshman activities.

He was never seen in the bustling cafeteria or the public areas of the library.

His only trace was occasionally seen by the dormitory manager rushing downstairs to pick up takeout, then quickly returning to his room and closing the door tightly.

"Have you seen Lin Feng, the top student? Why isn't he in class?"

"I don't know. Is it because they're so famous that they look down on our ordinary courses?"

Are all geniuses this eccentric?

Rumors began to breed and spread on campus.

The news that "the youngest top scorer in history skipped classes upon entering university" was even posted on campus forums and social media by some nosy students, sparking another round of controversy and questioning on a small scale.

These voices naturally reached the ears of Chen Jingming, the director of the admissions office who was constantly monitoring Lin Feng's situation.

He was somewhat worried, after all, he had personally recruited Lin Feng, and it would be unreasonable and unacceptable if Lin Feng were to become arrogant and neglect his studies.

He dared not delay and immediately reported the situation to Principal Tang Guohong.

"Principal, there's been some talk outside about Lin Feng's absence from class... Do you think I should talk to him and remind him of basic discipline?" Chen Jingming asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Academician Tang Guohong, who was behind his desk, looked up from a pile of documents. Instead of showing any displeasure, he revealed a knowing smile.

He waved his hand, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"No need. Jingming, just make an explanation to the public, saying that Lin Feng is carrying out a special study program that has been specially approved by the school. Tell everyone not to make wild guesses and not to disturb him."

A special continuing education program?

Chen Jingming was startled.

He immediately realized that Lin Feng's disappearance was not a simple absence from class, but was likely related to his secret conversation with the principal last time.

"I understand, Principal. I'll take care of it right away." Chen Jingming suppressed his curiosity and shock and respectfully left the office.

Soon, a vague but clear statement released by the school's official channels quelled all the discussions.

"After verification, it has been confirmed that Lin Feng is currently in a specific training phase as part of a key talent development program at the university, and his academic arrangements are being handled by the university. We urge all students not to believe or spread rumors, and to work together to create a positive learning environment."

The moment this statement was released, the initial skepticism instantly turned into amazement and envy.

"Holy crap! A key talent development program? They start their studies right after the semester begins? Is this the treatment top students get?"

"We're still learning basic advanced mathematics, and they've already started participating in the school's secret projects?"

"The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs!"

"Alright, alright, we don't understand the world of geniuses. Let's just go to class."

Public opinion shifted instantly.

Lin Feng's privileges did not arouse resentment; on the contrary, they made his genius aura even more dazzling and mysterious.

The public's attention is always easily drawn to new things.

As university life settled into a routine and various activities came one after another, the discussions about Lin Feng gradually subsided, and he finally gained the peace he had longed for.

……

In that ordinary single dormitory room, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Lin Feng was completely immersed in his own world.

The dormitory walls were covered with sheets of paper filled with complex formulas and structural diagrams.

On the desk, several high-performance computer screens display 3D models and data streams day and night.

There were many calculation drafts scattered on the ground.

Lin Feng focused all his energy on perfecting the Fuxi theoretical system.

He aims to build a more solid and operational theoretical foundation based on the previous introductory abstract.

This is not a simple copy.

He needs to "reduce" and "adapt" the perfect design in the simulated space based on the industrial level and the progress of materials science in the real world.

Design a technological path that is likely to be implemented in the present or near future.

This is an extremely brain-intensive process, akin to redesigning a set of tools on the shoulders of giants that would allow even short people to climb to the top.

Time flew by amidst the sounds of keyboard clicks and pen scratching across paper.

Outside the window, winter is deepening.

When the first winter snow quietly covered the rooftops of the Harbin Institute of Technology buildings, Lin Feng finally stopped what he was doing.

He looked at the fully constructed theoretical framework on the screen, and the thick stack of technical documents printed next to it, enough to be bound into a book, and let out a long, satisfied sigh.

The phase of the task is complete!

This achievement, which embodies his months of hard work, still conceals Fuxi's most core and advanced technology.

However, it demonstrates theoretical depth, engineering feasibility, and disruptive design concepts.

This is enough to pave a clear and visible high-speed track to the future for China's aerospace industry!

It's time to move on to the next step.

Lin Feng did not act rashly.

He deeply understands the importance of rules.

He contacted Chen Jingming.

"Teacher Chen, I have some new learning progress that I would like to report to Principal Tang. I wonder if it would be convenient for you, Principal?" Lin Feng's tone was as calm as ever.

Chen Jingming had already realized Lin Feng's importance by now, and without any hesitation, said: "Okay, I'll contact the principal right away."

On the other end of the phone, Academician Tang Guohong listened to Chen Jingming's account almost without hesitation.

"Bring him here, now!"

It was still that simple office.

But this time, when Lin Feng followed Chen Jingming in, he could clearly feel that Academician Tang Guohong's gaze was filled with unprecedented expectation.

It was a burning passion, almost like a child anticipating a gift.

"Is it finished?"

Tang Guohong didn't even bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point, his voice carrying a barely perceptible urgency.

Lin Feng respectfully handed over the heavy file folder he was carrying with both hands.

"Principal, this is a theoretical framework and preliminary technical solution that I have further refined and improved based on my previous ideas. Please review it."

Tang Guohong practically snatched the file folder, eagerly took out the documents inside, put on his reading glasses, and immediately immersed himself in the document.

For a moment, the only sound in the office was the rustling of papers turning over.

Chen Jingming tactfully slipped out quietly and gently closed the door behind him.

He knew that the conversation that was about to begin might be at a level far beyond his authority.

Time passed second by second.

Academician Tang Guohong's expression gradually changed from serious scrutiny to solemnity, and then to barely suppressed excitement.

His fingers trembled slightly with excitement at times, and at other times he would press heavily on a key formula or design, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light.

"Great! Brilliant! So that's how it can be solved!"

"This structure... is audacious! It's simply a brilliant idea!"

He muttered to himself from time to time, completely forgetting Lin Feng's presence.

Two hours later.

Tang Guohong finally looked up from the document.

He took off his glasses and rubbed his slightly sore nose, but his eyes were frighteningly bright as he stared intently at Lin Feng, as if trying to see right through him.

"Lin Feng, are you sure... you did all of this on your own?"

His voice was hoarse from extreme excitement.

"Yes, Principal," Lin Feng replied frankly, "All the derivations and designs were done by me."

Tang Guohong took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the turbulent waves in his heart.

He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and said decisively:

"With this, I'll risk everything, even my old reputation, to secure the highest level of support for you!"

He carefully gathered all the documents, treating them as priceless treasures, and solemnly placed them into a briefcase with a combination lock.

"Lin Feng, stay at school and don't go anywhere. Keep your communication channels open."

Tang Guohong looked at Lin Feng with eyes full of expectation.

"Wait for me to return from the capital!"

After saying this, the elderly academician seemed to regain his youthful vitality, picked up his briefcase, and hurriedly left the office.

There wasn't even time to give a proper explanation.

Outside the window, the north wind howled.

But Lin Feng knew that he had personally ignited a turning point that could change the fate of the nation's space program, and that it was heading straight for the capital city, the center of power and technology in China, following the figure of that national hero!
