7: Chapter 7 The Shock of the Iceberg Female PhD! Who exactly are you?

"What? Let him come and invite me?"

Inside the National Key Laboratory of Quantum Information at the Dragon Country Academy of Sciences.

Qin Zihan looked at her flushed and agitated deputy, Sun Bo, a thick sense of disgust and impatience surfacing on her cold face.

"Sun Bo, have you lost your mind?"

"I sent you to report our project's predicament to the higher-ups and secure more computing resources. Now you run back and tell me some layman who appeared out of nowhere solved our problem in an hour?"

"And he had the audacity to say I should personally go and invite him?"

"Do you think I look like a fool?"

Qin Zihan's voice was like the liquid nitrogen at minus two hundred degrees in the lab, piercingly cold.

She hadn't closed her eyes for three consecutive days.

That damned theoretical model was like an invisible wall, firmly blocking her path forward.

The entire team's morale had dropped to its lowest point.

Now, her most trusted deputy had actually run back to tell her such a fairy tale!

"No! Team Leader, let me explain!"

Sun Bo was sweating profusely in his anxiety. He pointed at the three giant whiteboards behind him that were being carefully pushed in by several special security personnel, speaking rapidly:

"It's him! It's that young man named Lin Yun! He really solved it! He didn't use a supercomputer; he just used a pen, and in less than an hour, he... he derived all of this!"

"Look! This... this is practically a divine revelation!"

Qin Zihan looked in the direction he was pointing.

Three giant whiteboards were carefully covered with anti-static shrouds.

She frowned, the suspicion in her eyes deepening.

Playing tricks.

"Uncover them."

She commanded coldly.

"Yes!"

As the covers were removed, the densely packed formulas, as cryptic as a heavenly book, were instantly presented before Qin Zihan's eyes.

Her gaze merely swept over them casually.

The next second.

Qin Zihan's entire body suddenly stiffened!

Her eyes, which were usually as calm as an ancient well and seemed indifferent to everything, suddenly contracted to the size of pinpricks!

As one of the top quantum physicists in Dragon Country, she could see the weight of these formulas with just one glance!

[...Introducing a modified quantum field theory path integral method...]

Her breathing stopped instantly.

She had also tried this line of thought before, but because she couldn't solve the convergence problem of one of the key operators, she eventually gave up.

But on the whiteboard, that man named Lin Yun had used an extremely exquisite and bizarre mathematical technique she had never seen or even imagined to easily bypass that "dead knot"!

It was like a martial arts master facing an indestructible city wall. While everyone else was thinking of ways to smash through the wall,

He had simply opened an Anywhere Door on the wall and strolled right through!

"This... how is this possible..."

Qin Zihan's body moved toward the whiteboards uncontrollably.

Her eyes were fixed on those formulas, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, unable to move away for even a moment.

The more she looked, the more shocked her mind became!

The more she looked, the paler her face grew!

When her gaze fell upon the correction term regarding the "Bell Inequality."

Thump!

Qin Zihan felt a roar in her brain; the world spun, her legs went weak, and she nearly fell to the ground!

Fortunately, Sun Bo, who was nearby, was quick-eyed and steady-handed, catching her just in time.

"Team Leader! Are you okay!"

Qin Zihan ignored him. She pushed Sun Bo away and stroked the cold whiteboard with trembling hands, as if she were touching a sacred piece of art.

Her lips were quivering, her eyes were bloodshot, and she seemed to have fallen into a state of frenzy.

"Wrong... everything is wrong..."

"From the very beginning, our foundation was wrong..."

"Hahaha... so that's how it is... so that's how it is!"

She was both crying and laughing, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

It was the accumulation of half a year's pressure, depression, and frustration being completely shattered in an instant, mixed with the ecstasy of seeing the truth and the remorse for her own ignorance—a complex storm of emotions!

The other researchers in the lab were all scared witless.

They had never seen their team leader, this woman who was always as calm and rational as an iceberg, lose her composure like this!

"He... he is right..."

Qin Zihan looked up, her bloodshot eyes staring intently at Sun Bo as she asked in a raspy voice:

"This person... the person who wrote all of this..."

"Who exactly is he?!"

The question seemed to drain all the strength from her body.

She wasn't asking for a name.

She was asking what kind of existence could possess such wisdom that surpassed human understanding!

This was no longer in the realm of genius.

This was a monster!

A god!

Sun Bo swallowed hard and was about to answer.

Just then.

The heavy alloy door of the laboratory was slowly pushed open from the outside.

A lean old man with an extraordinary temperament walked in, surrounded by a group of people.

Beside him stood a young man with a tall posture and a calm face.

It was Lin Yun.

Elder Chen looked at the seemingly crazed Qin Zihan, a flash of understanding and satisfaction in his eyes.

He knew that Lin Yun's "betrothal gift" had completely crushed all the pride and defenses of this favored daughter of heaven.

"Comrade Qin Zihan."

Elder Chen spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful.

"It seems you have already seen the answer."

Qin Zihan snapped her head around, her gaze instantly locking onto Lin Yun beside Elder Chen.

The young man was looking at her with a calm, even slightly scrutinizing gaze.

It was as if the earth-shattering theories on those three whiteboards were truly just casual doodles to him.

It's him!

It's really him!

Qin Zihan's heart felt as if it were being squeezed hard by an invisible hand!

"Let me introduce you."

Elder Chen's voice rang out again, breaking the eerie silence in the lab.

"This is the one who derived all of this, Comrade Lin Yun."

"We are here today to discuss a... top-secret plan that concerns the future of the nation and the direction of human civilization."

Elder Chen paused, his deep gaze scanning back and forth between Lin Yun and Qin Zihan, and finally, in an unquestionable tone, he spoke those earth-shattering words.

"And the first step of this plan requires your full cooperation."

"Comrade Qin Zihan, the organization hopes that you and Comrade Lin Yun..."

"Will form a family."
