Building a Sci-Fi Empire: Starting with Cold Nuclear Fusion

In the interview room.

After complaining, most people still frown, ponder, and try hard to recall.

Some people gave up struggling and simply waited for fifteen minutes to pass, thinking they would leave once they received their fare.

These scenes were observed by the five interviewers sitting on the interview table, and they were not surprised at all.

After all, this interview was just a formality, solely to get the senior executive's nephew hired.

Zhao Peng was the main interviewer. He glanced at the crowd below and was about to look away from his phone.

Suddenly, he noticed a young man in the second row by the window who was lying on the table with his eyes closed, seemingly preparing to take a nap.

This left Zhao Peng speechless. Although some others had given up struggling, it was still an interview, and those people weren't so rude. At least they were sitting properly and not lying down to sleep.

He unconsciously looked down and flipped through the resume.

The final comparison revealed that the sleeping young man's name was Chen Yuan.

Zhao Peng secretly thought that he would not let Chen Yuan pass the interview no matter what he said later.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He had only planned to let one person pass the interview today, so wasn't it only natural that Chen Yuan didn't pass?

After figuring things out, he stopped caring about Chen Yuan and started looking at his phone to handle some work-related matters.

Chen Yuan was not sleeping, but trying to enter the state of the strange dream he had last night.

At first, he had no clue what to do and couldn't enter the dream at all.

About two minutes later, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered that he had entered that strange dream while he was asleep last night.

When I sleep, my mind goes blank.

He wondered if he could completely empty his mind, would he be able to experience what he dreamed about last night?

With this in mind, Chen Yuan might try to clear his mind of all distractions and stop thinking about anything.

When he completely emptied his mind, his vision suddenly became bright, as if a light was shining on his eyelids.

Immediately, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Chen Yuan felt that his "consciousness" was being drawn by some kind of force and was constantly rising.

It could be a Planck second, or it could be as long as an hour.

In any instant, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.

Vast, boundless particles surge and undergo irregular motion.

done!

I did it again!

Chen Yuan was surprised that it actually worked and was momentarily excited.

He had experienced this in his dream last night and knew what to do next.

Logically, Chen Yuan should have immediately reassembled the particles into the image he wanted to see. However, his first thought was not to do so. Instead, he felt that these particles were chaotic and difficult to control. If they could be reassembled into the image he wanted, then he could control them.

The moment this thought arose, the scene before my eyes changed again, a very dramatic change.

These particles seemed to be controlled by Chen Yuan's ideas, constantly surging and converging, gradually forming a scene similar to a laboratory in a science fiction work.

And this scene was exactly what he had just been thinking!

Huh?

Can it really be controlled by my thoughts?

Chen Yuan became increasingly curious, even ignoring the fact that he was in a time-sensitive interview and continued to manipulate the chaotic and disorderly magical realm with his mind, trying to bring order to it.

The next moment, the particles surged again, forming a gigantic "computer" in this sci-fi-like laboratory.

Chen Yuan instinctively looked up and saw a virtual screen appear in front of him.

At the very top is a line of large text: Welcome to the realm of quantum spirit.

Well, this isn't the Chaotic Space introducing itself, but rather the name Chen Yuan gave to this peculiar space.

Below are rows of options.

The first one is "quantum recombination".

This name was also chosen by Chen Yuan based on the abilities he gained from his dream last night.

Below the quantum recombination option, there are seven or eight blank options.

Chen Yuan believes that in the field of quantum spirit, he will definitely not only develop this one function.

Therefore, he left several blank options so that they could be filled in directly after the product was developed.

Looking at the technologically advanced laboratory and the "supercomputer," he was extremely satisfied; this was exactly the science fiction world he envisioned.

After examining it for a while, Chen Yuan pressed the quantum recombination option.

As soon as the virtual screen flickered, more detailed information appeared, with rows of dates clearly listed.

It was as if with just a click, all his experiences from those dates would reappear.

Yes, in pursuit of order, Chen Yuan specifically had the disordered quantum recombination list the dates so that he could check them more efficiently.

The dates start from yesterday; there are no dates before that, since he only entered the quantum spirit realm yesterday.

Chen Yuan clicked on today's option.

Then, all the scenes he had experienced since waking up resurfaced once again.

With a thought, Chen Yuan fast-forwarded the scene to Xinghe Company.

The tall, imposing gatekeeper appeared before them.

His badge bears the osmanthus flower, the city flower of Suzhou.

Chen Yuan didn't waste any time and continued to fast-forward the footage.

The time period when I arrived at the first floor of the administration building.

Immediately, he saw four people sitting on the plastic chairs to the right of the entrance: three men and one woman.

One of the middle-aged men was slightly overweight, dressed in a dark blue Zhongshan suit and wearing black leather shoes.

The other two young men were dressed in a yellow hoodie, white jeans, and white sneakers, and a silver casual suit, blue jeans, and red sneakers, respectively.

The last young woman with a ponytail wore purple half-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, a straight skirt, and black stockings...

Well, the shoes were a pair of brown high heels.

And the receptionist, the ballpoint pen she was holding had a light yellow casing!

After seeing the answers to all the assessment questions, Chen Yuan withdrew from the quantum spirit field without hesitation.

He suddenly opened his eyes, then sat up straight, picked up his pen, and began to write furiously on the exam paper.

Zhao Peng was handling departmental affairs on his phone when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the young man who had been sleeping on his stomach earlier, who seemed to have sat up straight.

Driven by his curiosity, he looked up at Chen Yuan.

At this moment, Chen Yuan was full of confidence, writing the exam paper quickly, as if he already knew the answers.

Seeing this, Zhao Peng was taken aback and thought to himself, "Could it be that he wasn't sleeping when he was lying there, but was instead recalling everything he had seen since entering the company?"

When the idea first came to him, he found it somewhat ridiculous.

The questions on the exam paper are not something you can recall from memory.

Because many things simply won't attract anyone's attention.

If I didn't even follow you, how could I possibly remember it from memory?

Therefore, Zhao Peng did not believe that Chen Yuan could answer accurately, and even thought that the other party was just putting on an act.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

After Zhao Peng called for a halt, he quickly ordered his men to collect the exam papers.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely start looking at the first exam paper, but Chen Yuan's behavior just now was too eye-catching, and he remained curious.

Therefore, after receiving more than thirty test papers, Zhao Peng immediately pulled out Chen Yuan's test paper from the thick stack and began to look at it.

Of course, he was just going to glance at it casually and didn't take it too seriously, since he didn't think Chen Yuan could answer it correctly.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked at it.

Upon seeing it, Zhao Peng was stunned.

The exam paper was covered with dense, well-organized writing, as if it had been carefully arranged.

This doesn't seem like something made up.

Could it be that he really remembers?

Zhao Peng felt somewhat incredulous and couldn't believe it.

His gaze shifted slightly, becoming more serious, and he looked first at the answer to the first question—how many people were sitting on the plastic chairs in the reception hall?

The correct answer was clearly written on Chen Yuan's test paper: four people!

What?

He actually remembered a scene that no one would ever notice!

Zhao Peng's face showed astonishment, and he became increasingly incredulous.
