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

In a large compound in Beijing, a high-level closed-door meeting is being held quietly.

The long table was filled with key officials from the Science and Technology Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the military, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The senior leader presiding over the meeting tapped his fingertips lightly on the table and got straight to the point: "Two things: First, the military application layout of room-temperature superconductivity; second, the matter of Ji Bai's appearance."

As soon as the words were spoken, the military representative was the first to speak, his tone filled with barely concealed excitement: "We've conducted preliminary assessments, and the militarization of room-temperature superconductivity would bring about a revolutionary change!"

"Shipborne electromagnetic railguns can triple the range, directly breaking through existing limits in muzzle energy, halving the size of shipboard all-electric propulsion systems while doubling their power, and solving all bottlenecks in the electromagnetic catapults and high-energy weapons deployment on next-generation aircraft carriers!"

"There are also superconducting anti-submarine warfare and superconducting magnetohydrodynamic submarines. Once these are deployed, our underwater advantage will be significantly greater than that of other submarines."

"That's not all."

Another military technical official added, "After being modified with superconducting components, the phased array radar of the air defense system can have its detection range and multi-target tracking capabilities increased several times over!"

"Even strategic-level superconducting energy storage and electromagnetic launch devices are no longer just concept drawings!"

"To put it bluntly, the implementation of this system is like giving our national defense system a complete overhaul."

Everyone nodded, their eyes shining.

Who would have thought that the research results of a nineteen-year-old boy could push forward the country's military research and development by two or three decades?

The other attendees also excitedly shared their ideas.

Finally, the leader presiding over the meeting slammed his hand on the table: "Weaponization is definitely necessary, but it must be done secretly!"

"A separate project, top secret, with a dedicated person in charge, progressing steadily!"

A hammer is fixed.

Next, we move on to the second topic.

The issue of Ji Bai's public appearance.

Originally, the bigwigs did not intend to interfere with the boy's life, but due to the influence of various international forces, they sometimes had no choice but to act.

A person from the foreign affairs department smiled wryly: "The public opinion outside is out of control now. All sorts of conspiracy theories are flying around. Some say that Ji Bai is seriously injured and will die. Some say that we are hiding a genius to develop weapons. Others are clamoring to divide the patent inheritance."

"If we don't respond, it will make us look guilty and put us at a disadvantage diplomatically."

"I think I should make an appearance."

The person from the Science and Technology Commission chimed in: "Ji Bai was never actually sidelined, so there's no need to hide him. If he shows up openly, the rumors will fall apart on their own, and it will also boost public morale and give those foreign forces a slap in the face."

"Agreed!"

"agree!"

After some discussion, everyone quickly reached a consensus.

"OK."

The leader presiding over the meeting finally made the decision: "First, the military's superconducting weaponization project should be launched immediately in secret, with no expense spared, and all efforts should be made to overcome the challenges."

"Second, inform Fucheng and ask Ji Bai what he thinks. If it's convenient, he can make a public appearance. It doesn't need to be too complicated. Just show your face and say a few words."

The meeting ended, and everyone filed out.

A woman with an elegant demeanor, dressed in a dark formal suit, walked steadily through the crowd.

As soon as I stepped out of the conference room, my short-haired secretary, Sister Chen, who was waiting outside, immediately came to greet me.

"Boss, Lanlan just called."

"What is it?" The woman didn't stop walking, her tone indifferent.

"Lanlan asked... if Ji Bai had really gotten into trouble. She seemed... a little worried about the rumors online."

The woman paused slightly, then a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Even daughters worry about men?

To be honest, Ye Lan is not young anymore. Over the years, she has introduced many outstanding young people to men from well-to-do families, promising young academic elites, and several third-generation revolutionaries whom she has personally screened.

As a result, the girl didn't like any of them, saying either "we don't have anything in common" or "it's too boring," which made her wonder if her daughter was planning to spend her whole life with a microphone.

But if it's that boy...

He has an innocent background, is an orphan, comes from a simple family, has no overseas connections, and has no complicated conflicts of interest.

Not to mention his extraordinary talent.

As for his future, even someone at her level couldn't see where the young man's ceiling was.

If his daughter really falls for him, it would be a match made in heaven!

Although her daughter was several years older than the other man, according to the information she had, the young man did not seem to mind the age difference.

They even... prefer older women!

This may be related to the boy's background; he lacked maternal love.

Besides, so what if I'm old?

She's the daughter of the Ye and Qin families; whoever she takes a fancy to is lucky!

This marriage is not something that can't be considered.

"I see."

The woman pulled herself out of her thoughts and continued walking forward, her tone calm and even.

Following behind, Sister Chen keenly noticed that the boss's aura had softened considerably, clearly indicating that he was in a very good mood.

……

In the living room of an old, dilapidated apartment in Fucheng.

"Okay, okay, stop crying, or the parts will get wet."

Ji Bai squatted on the ground, pressing Jiao Jiao's dislocated arm back into place.

Testing, of course, must be done in various extreme environments.

Ji Bai hadn't expected that his master-level fighting technique was so powerful.

The process was... a little violent.

"Isn't my apology enough?"

"I didn't expect this stuff to dry so easily."

"I'll get you a better one later."

"Waaah... Master, do you keep your word?"

Jiaojiao's eyes were red, her voice was soft and slightly choked, and she acted just like a real person.

"You have to keep your word."

With a soft click, the last part was put back in place.

Ji Bai clapped his hands, stood up, looked around twice, and was very satisfied.

"A few more upgrades and it should reach... oh?"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Clang clang."

"They're here."

Ji Bai casually agreed, then turned to his wife and whispered, "Go back and lie down."

"Hmm!"

A figure nimbly slipped under the bed, its limbs folded in an ergonomically unnatural way, precisely wedging into the large box. The lid closed automatically, as if nothing had happened.

"pretty."

Ji Bai raised an eyebrow; the storage function alone was worth the price.

The old glue was great in every way, except that it was too much trouble to get it out every time.

Now it's all done with just a few words.

I opened the door, and sure enough, it was Secretary Li standing outside.

Secretary Li glanced up and saw that Ji Bai had faint dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating that he had been working late into the night.

His heart clenched instantly, filled with both heartache and admiration.

"Ji Bai, you must be exhausted these past few days?"

"It's alright."

Ji Bai yawned, nonchalantly: "It's... a bittersweet experience."

Secretary Li nodded emphatically, filled with deep respect.

Look at this level of awareness!

He works tirelessly on scientific research, finding joy even in hardship; no wonder he was able to achieve room-temperature superconductivity at such a young age.

Secretary Li didn't dare to delay Ji Bai any longer and got straight to the point: "It's like this, you said last time you'd show up in a couple of days, but it's been three days now. Do you think it's convenient for you now?"

Ji Bai's eyebrows twitched.

"Can't wait any longer?"

Secretary Li said somewhat awkwardly, "It's not that we're in a hurry, it's that the foreigners are."

"You have no idea, online it's almost like you've passed your seventh day memorial!"

"If they don't show up soon, the higher-ups are worried that those guys will cause some trouble again."

"Alright."

Ji Bai stretched his body: "Let me pack up. By the way, is everything ready at the research institute?"

"Alright, alright!"

Secretary Li nodded hurriedly: "All the laboratories have been renovated to the highest standards, and all the equipment is in place! Your private rest area and living area are also ready and at your convenience."

"Okay! Then I'll head over to the research institute later."

"Okay, is there anything we need to prepare?"

"Just get the internet ready."

"The internet? You want it?"

"live streaming!"

"live streaming?"

"Yes!"

Aren't the foreigners eager for me to show my face?

Alright

Then don't cry later!
