22: treasure

There was nothing they could do; they had to be numb.

Because even though they still found it incredibly absurd, they currently had no other evidence to refute Lin Yang's answer.

So, they had no choice but to believe, and could only choose to believe!

The 0.1 nanometer lithography machine technology is something no country worldwide currently possesses.

Since Lin Yang said he researched it after observing Netherlands's 3 nanometer photolithography machine manufacturing book a few days ago, they could only accept this explanation!

After all, if something that doesn't exist anywhere else on the entire planet wasn't researched by him, then where could it have come from?

Therefore, this was an unsolvable matter.

And once they chose to accept this explanation, Ye Guhong and the others couldn't help but have another thought!

Lin Yang, in just a few days, after merely observing the 3 nanometer photolithography machine manufacturing book once, directly researched the 0.1 nanometer lithography machine. What an astonishing ability that was?!

This research talent in the field of scientific research had already exceeded their comprehension.

It's important to know that in the same few days, even Zhao Zizhen, the Dean of the Great Science Academy, personally led and oversaw the entire process of manufacturing the 3 nanometer photolithography machine from start to finish, yet currently had no clue how to proceed with the next step of improvement.

But Lin Yang not only improved this photolithography machine, he also improved it to such an exaggerated extent all at once.

This indicates that Lin Yang not only has the ability but also unparalleled talent!

And possessing such ability and talent is simply a treasure!

A treasure of technological civilization!

A treasure of Shangxia!

A treasure of humanity!

Suddenly, thinking of Lin Yang's still somewhat childish voice, Zhao Zizhen's heart trembled, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Excuse me, how many years have you been involved in this kind of research?"

He wanted to use this to test whether Lin Yang was truly a young man or an old man in disguise.

"Not many years, I just graduated from high school, and it was just these past few days that I happened to look at that photolithography machine manufacturing book," Lin Yang replied casually.

He didn't care about Zhao Zizhen's probing or not, because with the system's existence, no matter how much they probed, they couldn't bypass the system and learn his true identity.

However, his words instantly stunned Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong and the others who were listening to the call.

Just graduated from high school?

He's really a young man?!

A high school student, in just a few days, through a manufacturing book, researched a technological product that is at least a century ahead of the worldwide!

Zhao Zizhen and the others suddenly felt as if this world had gone awry!

Otherwise, how could such a crazy thing happen?

Zhao Zizhen's hand holding the phone had begun to tremble, and inside the Alien Management Bureau, Ye Guhong and Tang Wensheng, along with several other Person in charge, looked at each other, dumbfounded!

Even though they were all important figures who had seen a lot, at this moment, they were speechless.

This was too unreal!

Soon, Ye Guhong was the first to recover, his eyes filled with excitement.

Although it sounded incredibly absurd, like something out of a fairy tale.

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about that.

At this moment, he urgently wanted to know more about Lin Yang.

He signaled Zhao Zizhen to continue asking.

"Um, you said you just graduated from high school. If you're a graduate this year, and the holiday just started, why did you go Overseas?"

Zhao Zizhen forcibly suppressed his excitement and shock, wanting to elicit more useful information.

"Hehe, about that, you might not believe me, but I'm not very good at studying, and I can't get into a good university in the country, so I'm preparing to study abroad. So, I took advantage of the holiday to come and check out schools first..." Lin Yang said truthfully.

However, his words, heard by Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong and the others, only made them feel as if he was deliberately teasing them.

What a joke.

Someone who can research a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine in a few days, not good at studying?

"Cough, cough, you're joking. How could someone like you not be good at studying!" Zhao Zizhen didn't quite know what to say.

"I'm not joking, everything I said is true. I really am here for a study tour. Alright, I've said pretty much everything I needed to say. I need to book my ticket to Sakura quickly. Talk to you later."

Lin Yang wasn't planning to continue talking to Zhao Zizhen.

Revealing too much information at once wasn't ideal either.

Hearing that Lin Yang was really going to hang up, Zhao Zizhen immediately panicked and said at an extremely fast pace, "I can assure you that with the contributions you've made, you can choose any university in the country, and even our Great Science Academy can directly admit you exceptionally. I hope you can return to the country as soon as possible, we..."

"Beep beep..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yang hung up the phone.

Zhao Zizhen immediately gave a wry smile. It seemed he really was a young man; hanging up just like that. This impatient personality definitely couldn't be faked.

"Old Zhao, Old Zhao, open the video conference!"

Ye Guhong's voice came through the earpiece, and Zhao Zizhen instantly became serious.

A few seconds later, the encrypted video conference began.

Ye Guhong's expression was extremely serious: "Everyone heard the content of the call just now, so I won't elaborate further. What I want to say now is that no matter what, we must ensure his safety Overseas!"

"And, we must persuade him to return to the country for school the next time he calls!"

"Such a monstrous talent, if he were to study Overseas, it would simply be a loss for our entire Shangxia!!"

Ye Guhong's tone was equally solemn.

Someone who could research a 0.1 nanometer lithography machine in just a few days—such a person cannot be adequately described as merely a genius; he is a rare and outstanding individual!

The moment he heard Lin Yang say he wanted to study Overseas, Ye Guhong felt a faint pain in his chest!

This was a prominent figure of their Shangxia!

How could he study Overseas!

"Elder Ye, we understand."

Tang Wensheng and the others immediately responded.

"Sigh, could it be that studies are truly too demanding now? Even someone like him feels pressured and wants to study Overseas?"

After giving his instructions, Ye Guhong couldn't help but sigh.

Tang Wensheng and Han Zhaoyu exchanged glances and said, "Elder Ye, I think he might have a hidden reason for doing this."

Ye Guhong nodded slightly, looking at Zhao Zizhen through the video: "Old Zhao, what do you think? Do powerful researchers like you truly feel a lot of academic pressure?"

"This... I'm not sure about his situation, but it doesn't rule out one possibility, which is that he is extremely specialized in certain subjects, so his performance in liberal arts might not be ideal, leading him to think he can't get into a good university, which is why he considered studying abroad," Zhao Zizhen mused.

"Specialized in certain subjects?" Ye Guhong repeated, slowly saying, "That's not impossible, but no matter what, next time, we must tell him that all universities in the country are open to him, even if he is severely specialized in certain subjects, it doesn't matter."

"That's for sure. Didn't you hear what I was just saying? It's just that he's impatient and hung up the phone. I don't know if he heard it or not." Zhao Zizhen pouted.

Ye Guhong nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said gravely, "Let's not talk about that for now. He just said he's going to Sakura. I don't think he's doing it on a whim. Keep a close eye on the developments in Sakura these days. If there are any problems, we must ensure his safe return to the country!"

"Cough, cough, um, Elder Ye, may I ask, since we don't even know his identity yet, how can we ensure his safety?"

Tang Wensheng asked somewhat awkwardly.
