"Oh! Shen Qi is here too." Hinako leaned forward slightly and gave a thumbs up, "I've seen your game, it's amazing~"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Shen Qi gave a relatively positive overall evaluation of Hinako.

No matter what the deep relationship between her and Maoxiong is, Hinako at least never threatened Li Ke. She even came out to mediate when Li Ke was most exhausted, and gave him some advice, giving him time to think.

"Hinako, come in." Li Ke moved aside to let the little girl in.

Shen Qi had already reacted first, and through soul communication, he asked Jilidan to carry the clay doll into the house and not show up.

Walking to the sofa, Hinako jumped up and down, then sat on the soft sofa, looking a bit like a kid playing on a trampoline.

"You guys have to be careful." Hinako warned, "The previous experimental equipment was recovered by my godfather, and there are traces of formatting and deleting data inside."

“I deleted it.”

More than half a month ago, Li Ke learned that Mao Xiong was about to come to Yuhong City, so he quickly asked Shen Qi to take the egg away first, and he stayed behind to delay and deal with the follow-up.

One of the things was to delete the records in the experimental equipment.

Regardless of the ownership of the fossilized pterosaur skeleton or who owns the final experimental results, Li Ke's experimental equipment was brought out from his own laboratory in the Deep Gray Science Museum and is essentially the property of the employer.

Maoxiong asked Li Ke to return it, and of course it had to be returned to the owner, but the research data could not be handed over, so Li Ke quickly formatted it.

After failing miserably in his quest to retrieve the fossil bones, Maoxiong tried to have someone repair the data stored in the device, but only recovered a few fragments of information that were completely unusable.

However, there are still a few more capable technicians in the Deep Gray Science Museum. They judged from the residual data that Li Ke was facing a sudden crisis and did not have time to copy the experimental data completely.

Then, the incomplete data in Li Ke’s hands can be used to question his paper.

They say that the clay dolls are not made from energy factors extracted from fossil bones, and that Li Ke’s paper description is an academic fraud. Naturally, an academic committee will investigate the full set of experimental data.

The experimental data is really incomplete, and Li Ke’s research will not be recognized by the academic circle;

If the damage is more serious, it may even be judged as academic misconduct.

"I came here today to tell you this."

Hinako stared with her big watery eyes, "If the information you have is really insufficient, you'd better not confront your godfather completely, otherwise it will cause big problems, and in serious cases, you will be ruined."

After listening to Hinako's description, Li Ke realized how sinister the trick that Maoxiong secretly planned was.

On the surface, he seemed to have surrendered and was helpless, asking other researchers from the Deep Gray Science Museum who were not involved in the Yuhong City operation to intercede for him, while secretly preparing a fatal sneak attack.

"Don't worry I have a complete and comprehensive set of data."

There was a gleam of confidence in Li Ke's eyes, which then turned into gratitude towards Shen Qi.

The reason was simple. Before the experiment started, Shen Qi had asked Duoduo to help and pay extra attention to the research data, and saved another copy.

When participating in the racing competition, Duoduo stayed in a 4Tb hard drive. Shen Qi actually prepared another spare hard drive of the same level.

When Li Ke's experiment came to an end, one hard drive was full and the other was more than half full.

If it is pure text or digital records, such a large capacity would not be needed. The key is that the experiment will generate many data charts and videos, and even mathematical models will be used, and the space occupied by these parts is astonishing.

But it is enough and it has been preserved intact.

Before taking the egg to find Meng Ai, Shen Qi specifically told Li Ke that the experimental data and experimental notes had been saved, so he didn't need to worry and just take care of his own business.

So Li Ke spent all his time destroying the data stored in the equipment. Even so, he was able to gather some fragmentary information, and the other party inferred that the experimental data saved by Li Ke in a hurry might not be comprehensive.

It's really dangerous.

"I see." Hinako nodded vigorously, "I understand."

"Hinako, why are you on my side?"

"No." Hinako stretched out her index finger and swung it playfully. "I'm not on Li Ke's side. I just hope that the Deep Gray Science Museum can continue to operate well."

Maoxiong controls the general direction of commercial operations and lets his researchers display their talents. With the original foundation of the Deep Gray Science Museum, even if it is not prosperous, it is always OK to seek progress in stability.

The problem is that Maoxiong used to be a master's student in minerals and had a genuine academic research background. However, he later realized that he couldn't make a lot of money by studying hard. It was only because he had excellent talent for capital operation that he became a millionaire.

Now he mainly wants to continue to expand his assets, while obtaining the academic achievements of other researchers to gild himself, and create an image of a successful person with strong scientific research capabilities and strong asset management.

For the majority of researchers left behind in the Dark Gray Science Museum who are willing to sell their academic knowledge to make money, Maoxiong is a good boss.

In their eyes, Li Ke seemed pedantic, old-fashioned, and a bit like a lowly person, which was completely opposite to Mao Xiong.

If there is a conflict between the two, the Dark Gray Science Museum will definitely not be able to operate properly, and Hinako does not want to see such a situation happen.

He came to remind Li Ke today, and at the same time he would bring back the information that Li Ke had complete research data to tell his godfather, so as to prevent Maoxiong from being slapped in the face after raising doubts about the academic paper.

In this way, any conflicts that might arise between the two sides in the future were invisibly reconciled by Hinako.

"Ah, I didn't expect that the Deep Gray Science Museum would have to rely on a little girl like you to maintain it."

Li Ke took out a can of his favorite coffee from the refrigerator. Hinako pouted in disgust, "This is so unpalatable. It's so unpalatable!"

"Oh, is that so...then drink mineral water?"

"I want a fruit drink—"

The overall situation-oriented demeanor suddenly changed, and Hinako kicked her legs on the sofa in protest like a disobedient and willful little girl.

Helpless, Li Ke asked Shen Qi for help.

Shen Qi seldom drinks beverages, but Duoduo at home loves to drink them. When Shen Qi temporarily lives somewhere, he will stock up some beverages at his residence.

Now the small freezer upstairs is stocked with drinks for Duoduo.

"Would you like to come upstairs with me and pick one?"

"No, I'm not going." Hinako put away her previous arrogant look, "I know a lot of your secrets in this temporary experiment, and I'm a member of the Deep Gray Science Museum, so it's not convenient for me to walk around."

"Then describe briefly what you want to drink?"

Hinako tilted her head, and seemed to be very hot, pulling at her collar repeatedly as she thought.

"Give me a sweet drink, a juice as sweet as me!"

"Row."

Looking at the cute Hinako on the sofa, Li Ke couldn't help but praise her, "Hinako is the cutest girl I have ever seen."

"Eh?" Hinako's eyes flickered, "You're not going to confess to me, are you?"

"No, no!" Li Ke, who looked a bit nerdy, blushed. "Don't, don't joke about this kind of thing."

"Hahahahaha." Hinako laughed out loud, "You're cute too."

Chapter 498 Scientific Research Conference

"Shen Qi, are you okay?"

On the phone, Xiao Chun asked with concern.

More than two months have passed since Shen Qi set out for Yuhong City to participate in the spring competition.

This is the time span that truly exceeds the limit of Shen Qi's long journey.

Xiaochun and other classmates usually sent messages to inquire about Shen Qi's situation, and they received the reply that everything was fine, but he had not returned to school for such a long time, which always made people worried.

This weekend, Xiaochun made a special phone call.

"I'm fine. I'll be back soon."

Shen Qi responded while taking out the ceremonial suit from the suitcase, which is the clothing that drivers wear when they go on stage to receive awards after getting good results.

Shen Qi was wearing the same clothes when he accepted the fossil skeleton presented by Dr. Solans.

"By the way, Chun, how is Spirit High School doing lately?"

It has been a month since the entrance season started. Shen Qi knows that the teachers and principals must be very busy. Their usual contacts are limited to daily greetings, so he is not really clear about the school's recent operations.

"Oh, it's terrible."

"How to say?"

Shen Qi remembered that Ji Xiang introduced that there were more than 80 new students enrolling this year. There were fewer students in the last two classes, but there were only about 80 to 90 students in the third year of Elf High School.

The number of students in each class fluctuates between 100 and 80, which is within a reasonable range. The only regret is that we were unable to attract students from the Orange Islands.

"That bastard island owner of Asia Island is talking bad about our Elf High School everywhere."

He first paid close attention to the limited resources of the Elf High School, hoping to promote his granddaughter, the so-called Saint of Asia Island, when Shen Qi achieved good results and received awards in the spring competition.

Shen Qi fouled and withdrew from the game, and the island owner was a little angry and embarrassed.

If her granddaughter were to go to high school on the most prosperous Little Orange Island, Fulula would not stand out from the crowd, nor would she receive the maximum amount of resources.

Nowadays, the owner of Asia Island feels that Elf High School is boring and not worthy of his granddaughter's future status. Instead, the news spreads that Elf High School is short of funds and has no successors, and is likely to close down in a few years.

To say that this is a rumor... is not really the case. The Elf High School is really facing the problems he mentioned.

Amidst the rumors, only Liugan Island was willing to speak up for Elf High School.

"Dugan Island? Do we have any acquaintances there?"

"No." Xiaochun had no idea, "Teacher Jixiang doesn't remember either..."

It should be noted that the ultimate goal of the owner of Asia Island is to build a high school on the island.

"He? He wants to build a high school?"

"Yes."

Asia Island itself has no industry and is of average size. It is inhabited by residents who follow traditional customs, so it has become the so-called traditional cultural center of the Orange Islands.

The sacrificial ceremonies and blessing ceremonies are all held on the island of Asia.

This kind of background can be regarded as having some cultural advantages, or a sense of local identity;

In terms of objective conditions, Asia Island is not big and has a good location. It is located in the northern center of the Orange Islands. After the bridge is built, it will be very convenient to come to other small islands.

The real problem is that there are not enough students, so the owner of Asia Island spread the word that the Elf High School was about to fail, and at the same time, he brought in Yangbella High School to build a branch on Asia Island, in order to take over the students of the Seven Islands in the future.

The most prosperous island in the Orange Islands is Little Orange Island, which is a unique combination of a modern city and an ancient city.

That ancient city is Yangbella.

“It’s not that easy to build a high school.”

There aren't many students in the Seven Islands, and the front islands will send their children to the main continent of Kanto if they have the conditions.

"That's true." Xiao Chun sighed, "But I think going to Asia Island is much more convenient than going to Qianhong City, and the competition is not that fierce. The Yangbella branch has been built, and our college foundation is in danger this year."

The teachers were all very anxious, and the students also wanted to use their academic performance as a propaganda counterattack, but there were really no good results to show for it.

Pokémon High School is a place for Pokémon that have nowhere to go and cannot be released into the wild, and allows students from remote areas who have no access to education to develop into Pokémon workers.

That’s all, it’s not the top, highly competitive path.

On the other hand, on Asia Island, the owner has already posted photos on social media of the materials they brought in to build the foundation for the Yangbella branch campus.

He kept making big promises, saying that Asia Island, where traditional culture is well preserved, would jointly establish an excellent university with Yangbella City with profound cultural heritage.

Whether in appearance or substance, it looks much better than Elf High School.

"It's okay, Xiaochun, I'll send you a live link, please forward it to as many people as possible later."

"Hmm? What little lady dancing...eh? Scientific research results press conference? Who is Li Ke?"

"As a student of this year's college, I am participating in an unprecedented scientific research on the revival of ancient Pokémon. Today I will announce the results of the research in advance, which can be regarded as a publicity for the school."

"W…what? Reviving an ancient Pokémon? You?"

"I have to go to the venue now. I'll leave the promotion to you, Chun!"

"Hey! Hey--Hello???"

After changing into the ceremonial suit, Shen Qi walked outside just as Li Ke opened the door and came out.

The two smiled at each other with a sudden tacit understanding.

Today is the day to feel proud and to see the sun!

Li Ke has been working hard on his paper these days and has written the latest descriptive literature and submitted it to the editorial office of the top journal in the field of fossil resurrection.

The review process of top journals is very slow, but the editor-in-chief personally called Li Ke to inquire about the situation and praised him, indicating that there would be basically no problem in publishing this descriptive paper.

The specific distribution time is still one or two months away. After receiving the notification of paper inclusion, Li Ke released the news first and held an academic press conference to let the world know who the scientific research results belong to.

Shanhai Group took the lead in publicity and created quite a lot of momentum, directly borrowing the grand forum of the paleontology research department of Yuhong University.
