The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Liaoning Province, Governor's Office.

The red telephone on the table suddenly rang.

This is the phone number that the provincial governor least wants to answer.

Because when it makes a sound, it's never a small matter.

The provincial governor took a deep breath, put down the documents in his hand, sat up straight, and subconsciously adjusted his collar.

He hadn't done this for many years, because at his current level, he rarely needed to adjust his collar for phone calls.

"Hello, this is..."

A few seconds later, the provincial governor's expression turned serious, and he straightened his back even more.

"Yes, yes, I understand!"

"Don't worry, there are already regular patrols around Ji Bai's residence..."

"Yes, upgrade to the highest security level immediately!"

"I'll immediately deploy special police and bomb disposal units to provide defense!"

"What? The garrison is going to be deployed too?"

"Okay! I'll contact the provincial military command immediately to coordinate!"

"Understood, I'll make sure everything goes perfectly!"

After hanging up the phone, the provincial governor leaned back in his chair, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart still pounding.

Good guy.

Ji Bai has really stirred up a hornet's nest!

Superconductivity at room temperature?

Even someone like him who doesn't understand technology well understands the meaning of those four words.

And judging from what they've said, Ji Bai really managed to make this thing?

Immediately afterwards, the provincial governor smiled.

it is good!

OK!

He had defied all opposition and approved 20 million yuan in funding for Ji Bai.

Some people in the district slammed their fists on the table, some in the city wrote reports questioning him, and some in the province subtly reminded him to "pay attention to procedures," "pay attention to risks," and "pay attention to the impact."

He withstood all the pressure.

But to be honest, at the moment of signing, the provincial governor was thinking: This kid is a talent. Even if he doesn't succeed in scientific research, the 20 million yuan will give him peace of mind and let him know that his hometown has not treated him unfairly.

He never imagined that he could recoup his investment of 20 million.

I never imagined that those 20 million could become something extraordinary.

As for the 2% patent share promised by Ji Bai, the provincial governor treated it as a joke.

But you're saying this is only 2% of the room-temperature superconducting patent?

That's different!

Moreover, it's not just about the future benefits from patents.

The entire industry chain needs to be restructured, right?

Where should the production base for superconducting materials be located?

Where is the manufacturing plant for superconducting cables located?

Where will the research and development center for superconducting equipment be located?

Liaoning Province is an old industrial base with a strong foundation in machine tools, metallurgy, equipment manufacturing, and military industry support.

Transforming directly from a heavy industrial base into a global superconducting industry base, right, my friend?

Wouldn't that increase GDP?

The provincial governor thought of many things in an instant, but it was only for a moment.

Then, taking a deep breath, I temporarily put aside the grand blueprints in my mind about industrial chains, GDP, and the global superconducting center, and picked up the white landline phone on the table again.

"An emergency video conference has been convened with the Provincial Public Security Department, the Provincial Fire Brigade, and the Provincial Armed Police Corps!"

Ten minutes later, four screens lit up simultaneously on the large screen in Conference Room 1.

The provincial governor made no small talk or opening remarks; his first words immediately made everyone sit up straight.

"Following the notification from above, Ji Bai, an important scientific research talent in our province, completed a major global scientific research achievement at 4 pm today at the Ji Bai Research Institute next to Fucheng No. 99 Middle School."

"Superconductivity at room temperature and pressure!"

"Currently, all the world's top superconducting laboratories are paying close attention to Comrade Ji Bai. His technical data, experimental samples, and even his personal safety are all under the highest level of security!"

"Now, all units, listen up!"

The sound of chairs being moved could be heard in unison in the video, and everyone stood up at the same time.

……

The order was issued quickly.

The entire security system of Liaoning Province sprang into action instantly, with astonishing efficiency.

The city's special police detachment's armored vehicles, sirens blaring, rushed towards Fucheng. Fully armed special police officers, carrying live ammunition, completely surrounded the three streets surrounding the Ji Bai Research Institute. Even a fly flying in had to register its ID card.

The Armed Police detachment set up two sentry posts around the factory, with 24-hour shifts and patrol routes accurate to the meter.

The fire brigade's high-performance fire trucks were parked directly at the entrance of the research institute. The firefighters stood by, with all equipment unpacked, just in case anything went wrong.

The most outrageous example is the military base near Fucheng, where a fully armed armored infantry company was deployed!

Armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles lined up in a row, armed to the teeth, creating an imposing presence.

The elderly people strolling along the roadside were stunned, stopping to discuss the scene.

"What's going on? What serious incident happened?"

"I don't know, there were SWAT officers, soldiers, and armored vehicles involved!"

"My goodness, a research institute is making such a big fuss? What are they researching in there?"

"Could it be a virus?"

"What?! Then hurry to the supermarket and stock up on food and salt!"

……

Fucheng, the Prefect's Office.

After hanging up the phone with the provincial governor, Prefect Liu leaned back in his chair, looked up at the fluorescent light on the ceiling, and stared blankly for a full five seconds.

Then the corners of his mouth started to turn up, first slightly, then higher and higher, until finally he burst into an uncontrollable laugh.

How can I put it? This feeling is hard to describe in words.

If we had to find a point of reference, it would probably be similar to the moment when Principal Wang received the phone call saying that Ji Bai was the top scorer in the city.

You need to improve!

I'm about to make progress!

Prefect Liu nearly jumped up from his chair.

Don't forget, the city government also supported Ji Bai with 1.2 million yuan, giving him a 1.2% stake.

To be honest, when the city squeezed out this money, there were people who wentssiped.

Old Zhang from the Finance Bureau complained to him three times in private, saying that it was ridiculous for a high school student to need so much money for scientific research.

it's good now.

What is 1.2% of the room-temperature superconducting patent?

Prefect Liu couldn't calculate it, but his intuition told him that this revenue would far exceed the original fiscal expenditure of twelve million.

What excites him even more is the issue of future industrial layout.

Fucheng will become the world's superconductivity capital in the future, right?

Prefect Liu glanced out the window, his gaze sweeping over the low skyline of Fucheng and heading towards Shencheng.

Who will be number one in the future is uncertain!

……

If the provincial and municipal levels are like this, the county level is even more overjoyed.

Magistrate Ma hung up the phone, his hands trembling.

The county government initially scraped together eight million yuan, which represented a 0.8% stake.

Originally, it was just about supporting local talents and showing some hospitality, but now it's turned into them directly clinging to a powerful patron.

County Chief Ma has already started planning. With this revenue as a foundation, the county's education, healthcare, and infrastructure can all be significantly improved!

In the future, when comparing our economy with other counties, we can simply slam the superconducting industry on the table, and everyone else will have to step aside.

Top 100 Counties?

I'm in a league of my own!

……

Everyone is happy.

Only Principal Wang was somewhat conflicted.

The credit is truly immense!

No one could have imagined that a high school could own 0.1% of the shares in a room-temperature superconductor.

But even the greatest achievement can only take him one more step forward.

But the problem is...

Is it progress... or should I stay at the school as principal and become Ji Bai's neighbor?

It's so hard to choose!
