2: You'd better be in trouble

For some reason, Wang Guang's hands trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.

He moved the mouse to the email, took several deep breaths, and then, suppressing his excitement, clicked on the email.

The next moment, what met his eyes were the large characters: “photolithography machine Manufacturing Manual.”

This immediately filled Wang Guang with disappointment.

“It’s a prank, after all!”

He sighed, unable to tell if it was relief or disappointment.

It was well known that if this manual truly came from Netherlands, it would be impossible for it to be in chinese.

The Overseas people's documents should all be in foreign languages.

He instinctively prepared to close the email.

However, just as the mouse was about to close the email page, a densely packed line of small foreign characters suddenly appeared within Wang Guang's line of sight!

“This is…”

Wang Guang's hand movements paused, and he immediately leaned closer to the computer screen.

A moment later, a look of shock appeared in Wang Guang's eyes.

Because those densely packed small foreign characters were the foreign language translation of the photolithography machine manufacturing manual!

Moreover, the grammar was extremely correct and meticulous!

“This is actually a bilingual version?”

Wang Guang suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to read the text below.

The more he read, the more alarmed he became.

Because, after only reading half a page, there was some content he already completely couldn't understand.

Especially when he saw the first three-dimensional image, the shock in Wang Guang's heart reached its peak!

Complex formulas, profound principles, and such precise image captions!

All of this indicated that this manual was very likely real!

And the sender had even specifically translated it before sending it!

And it was an extremely meticulous translation!

The level of this translation was at least that of an Academician.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to translate those technical terms, which even he found headache-inducing, with such precision!

Swish, swish, swish!

Wang Guang began to rapidly scroll the mouse; although he had completely stopped understanding from the latter half of the first page, he still scrolled all the way to the end of the document!

After confirming that the entire document was a bilingual version of the manual, Wang Guang's entire body trembled with excitement in an instant, and his cheeks flushed!

Especially since, following the bilingual document, there was also an original, untranslated, purely foreign language manual attached!

This made Wang Guang completely unable to sit still!

Even if he couldn't understand the later content, just from the content he could recognize, such professional and precise knowledge, even if it wasn't about the photolithography machine, was absolutely something of immense importance.

He glanced at the time; it was already 1:30 AM.

But he didn't hesitate, took out his phone, and quickly dialed a number.

“Teacher, I received a special email. Please come over immediately!”

“What email? Can't it wait until tomorrow? What time is it? Or you can forward it to me!”

A somewhat sleepy middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

“No, Teacher, please, you must come immediately! I cannot forward it, nor can I wait until tomorrow. Please, you must arrive at the Academy as quickly as possible!”

“Must!”

Wang Guang's voice was trembling.

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, seeming to understand something, then said in a deep voice: “Alright, Xiao Guang, I will arrive within ten minutes!”

Hearing this, Wang Guang instantly slumped into his chair as if all the strength had been drained from his body, yet his eyes were wide open, staring unblinkingly at the computer screen!

As if this was something more important than his Life.

Time passed, bit by bit.

Ten minutes felt like ten days to Wang Guang.

He couldn't help but check the time every few seconds.

Finally, there was a rapid knock on the door of the duty room.

“Xiao Guang, it’s me!”

Wang Guang instantly jumped from his chair and quickly opened the door.

The person who entered was a somewhat plump middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties.

It was none other than Zhao Zizhen, an Academician and director of the Great Science Academy!

As soon as Zhao Zizhen entered, he frowned and asked: “What on earth happened that you called me in the middle of the night and insisted I come over?”

Wang Guang pointed to the email document on the screen and whispered: “Teacher, please see for yourself. I dare not confirm it!”

“What is this? photolithography machine manufacturing manual? And it's illustrated?”

When Zhao Zizhen saw the title, his frown deepened, and he said with some displeasure: “I say, Xiao Guang, are you making me come here in the middle of the night to see some prank?”

Wang Guang didn't answer, and Zhao Zizhen's words, following his gaze downwards, abruptly stopped!

Then, Zhao Zizhen's entire body couldn't help but tremble!

“This, this is…”

“Impossible!”

“How is this possible?”

“This is actually a manufacturing manual for a photolithography machine??!”

“These formulas, these principles…”

Zhao Zizhen muttered unconsciously while rapidly scrolling the mouse to view the document.

His hands were also trembling!

A full five minutes!

Only then did Zhao Zizhen force himself to stop, then turned around, his voice trembling as he stared at Wang Guang and asked: “This, who sent this?”

Wang Guang immediately recounted the details of the phone call he had just received.

Zhao Zizhen's eyes widened even further: “What? You mean you received a mysterious call from Overseas, and the other party said they would send the photolithography machine manual, and then they actually sent it?”

“Yes, Teacher!” Wang Guang nodded frantically, “Your student is lacking in knowledge and only understands a little. Is this… is this real?”

Zhao Zizhen looked at the document again with a complex expression, but did not answer Wang Guang's question. Instead, he suddenly became extremely serious and admonished: “Xiao Guang, what happened tonight must not be revealed in the slightest!”

As he spoke, Zhao Zizhen turned and looked at a red button in the duty room. After a moment of consideration, he decisively pressed it!

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Within the entire Great Science Academy, a piercing alarm instantly blared.

Outside the duty room door, a security door slowly descended, sealing off the entire duty room!

Even the main entrance was similarly sealed by another security lock.

“What happened?”

“Who triggered the Level 3 alert?”

“Who is on duty tonight?”

Other staff members in the Academy who were working overtime or on night duty all rushed out in shock, staring at the security door that had descended over the main entrance, completely stunned!

Because this meant that a major security incident had occurred in the Academy, and from the moment the security door dropped, no one was allowed to enter or exit freely!

Otherwise, they would be charged with treason!

“Teacher, what are you…”

Wang Guang was also stunned.

Zhao Zizhen still did not answer him, but instead took out his phone and began dialing numbers one by one.

Soon, several Old Academicians also arrived at the duty room.

None of them looked very pleased.

One of the Academicians, who looked to be around the same age as Zhao Zizhen, even said directly:

“Old Zhao, you’re making such a fuss in the middle of the night, calling us all here, not even letting us sleep, and even activating a Level 3 security alert. You’d better have something extremely important!”

Zhao Zizhen ignored him, instead pointing to the document on the screen and saying with extreme gravity: “Gentlemen, I apologize for disturbing you late at night, but this matter is urgent. Please help me verify whether this is indeed true?”

Everyone immediately looked at the document.

Then, after they had each reviewed the document, every person's face began to flush!
