94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Chapter 116 Tsinghua

Lin Yu took the paper and looked at it carefully.

But what is written on paper is not the same as what Chief Hou said.

The above text describes the arrangements for Lin Yu to give lectures at Tsinghua University.

"Uncle Hou, what's this?"

"This was arranged by Academician Wang. See if you have time."

It was three days later when I came out of the military compound again.

In March, Beijing is full of springtime charm.

The poplar trees along the roadside were covered with those insect-like things that grow on the poplar branches.

When the wind blew, they fell all over the ground.

Lin Yu sat in the Santana that Chief Hou had sent.

Looking at the street scene through the car window.

The letter that Academician Wang wrote that day was still on my mind.

"I've already made arrangements for things at Tsinghua University."

"It's scheduled for March 21st."

"It's right before the school anniversary week, so you should get ready."

"Tell these people about absolute zero."

Lin Yu wanted to decline at the time, as he had a lot of things to do.

The equipment list for the fuel plant line has not yet been finalized.

The BEC laboratory on Academician Zhou's side is still under renovation.

At the steel plant, Sun Qingnian called the plant manager every day to ask when he would be going back.

but--

But Chief Hou connected him with Academician Wang's phone.

Academician Wang shut him down with just one sentence.

"Getting involved in these things is just a waste of your time; someone else has already done it for you."

"Just check it when you receive it."

"What does your research institute do?"

"Isn't it just about doing scientific research and leading a team?"

"Those students in the physics and chemistry departments of Tsinghua University are among the best in the country."

"If you don't go and give the presentation, when will the research institute ever be able to open?"

"Where are we going to find so many researchers?"

"Let go of those things and let Xiao Hou and the others take care of them."

While answering the phone, Lin Yu watched as Chief Hou nodded in agreement with a helpless expression.

Having said that, Lin Yu could only nod.

He didn't actually need it when he bought the equipment.

His academic abilities are unmatched by anyone in this group.

However, actual construction work was outside his area of ​​expertise.

When the car turned into Tsinghua University, Lin Yu checked his watch; it was just past 8 o'clock.

Many students were already riding bicycles in and out of the gate.

A schoolbag was tucked into the basket of the bicycle, and a person was riding on the back of the bicycle.

There were several young couples, with the girl sitting in the back seat and holding onto the boy's waist.

She didn't care at all that the wind was blowing her skirt up.

Lin Yu glanced at it and noticed that she was wearing leggings underneath.

Campus romances in this era are both subtle and flamboyant.

It's the kind that people from Northeast China love the most.

Be generous and open, everyone be generous and open!

"Comrade Lin, we've arrived."

The driver parked the car at the entrance of the Gongzi Hall.

As soon as Lin Yu got out of the car, he saw a middle-aged man in a gray Zhongshan suit walking quickly towards him.

The person who came in wore black-rimmed glasses and had his hair neatly combed back.

He still had a polite smile on his face.

"Comrade Lin Yu, welcome, welcome!"

"I am Liu Guangsheng, the deputy director of the Physics Department."

Lin Yu took the initiative to extend his hand, and the two shook hands.

"Old Wang had already given instructions, saying that a young expert would be speaking today about the issue of absolute zero."

"I was wondering what kind of expert he would be, I didn't expect him to be so young!"

"I never expected it—it was Comrade Lin Yu who invented lead-free oil!"

"I've heard so much about you! I've heard so much about you!"

With his previous reputation as a foundation, Liu Guangsheng did not look down on Lin Yu because of his youth.

He was Mr. Wang's student.

Although his social status is already quite high, he still needs to work hard in the academic field to reach that small group.

After shaking hands, Lin Yu smiled.

"You're too kind, Teacher Liu. I'm just here to chat with the students."

"You're too modest. If it were Comrade Lin Yu, I'm certain I could learn a lot of new things!"

Liu Guangsheng stepped aside to lead the way.

"Shall we go sit in the department office for a while?"

"The 9 o'clock lecture is still a while away."

Lin Yu nodded and followed him toward the Physics Department building.

Upon arriving at the department office, Liu Guangsheng began to introduce Tsinghua University.

What is the number of students admitted to the physics department this year? What new equipment has been acquired for the laboratory?

President Wang Dazhong attaches great importance to basic research.

Many of the graduating students have excellent grades.

Director Liu learned about Lin Yu's upcoming personal laboratory from Academician Wang.

He is now working hard to promote his students.

On the path of scientific research, following the right mentor can save a lot of time and energy.

Lin Yu listened quietly, nodding occasionally when he heard about particularly impressive talents.

As he listened, his mind wandered to other things.

He's going to talk about absolute zero today.

This is related to Bose-Einstein condensates, but it is not only related to Bose-Einstein condensates.

In this day and age, most people only think of it as a theoretical concept.

Einstein predicted its existence in 1924, and now 70 years later, no one has actually observed it.

It wasn't until almost 9 o'clock that Liu Guangsheng's voice interrupted Lin Yu's thoughts.

"Time is almost up."

"Shall we walk?"

Lin Yu then followed Liu Guangsheng.

Before long, we arrived at the entrance of a lecture hall in the physics department.

A familiar poster was still pasted on the door.

"Academic Lectures"

Title: Exploring Absolute Zero—Some Thoughts on the Fifth State of Matter

Speaker: Lin Yu (National Honorary Young Scientist)

Time: 9:00 AM, March 21

Location: Physics Department Lecture Hall.

The poster was written with a brush, the characters were neat, and the ink was not yet completely dry.

The lecture hall was an old-fashioned tiered classroom.

Lin Yu stood at the doorway and could still faintly hear the discussion inside.

"Lin Yu? Isn't that the guy who talked about gasoline on the 315 Gala?"

"It seems so. I heard he's from Beihang University, someone who works in aerospace engineering. How come he's talking about absolute zero in our physics department?"

"I don't know, but I've heard it's pretty amazing."

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little nervous listening to these discussions.

They stopped Director Liu from pushing the door open first.

He pushed open the door and went inside.

There were already seventy or eighty people in the classroom, and many more were still coming in one after another.

An old-fashioned lectern sits on the platform.

They also set up some loudspeakers.

Lin Yu walked to the front of the stage and calmed himself down.

He turned around and looked at the young faces below the stage.

Some were wearing Zhongshan suits, and some were wearing Dacron shirts.

Most of the girls had short, ear-length hair and no makeup.

The boys had buzz cuts and wore simple shirts.

But what they all had in common was curiosity in their eyes.

There was also a subtle, almost imperceptible scrutiny.

What abilities does this young man, who looks to be the same age as them, or even younger, possess?

After greeting everyone briefly, Lin Yu quietly waited for nine o'clock to arrive.

The first row of empty seats was filled with a row of elderly gentlemen with gray hair.
