398: Chapter 397: Bai Yannian's Urging for Marriage!
Lin Mo smiled and shook his head.
As the saying goes, every outcome is predestined.
After Chief Designer Bai Yannian's introduction, he finally understood why the research and development progress of the quantum chip project was so fast.
It was a top-tier, ready-made research team specializing in microelectronics and chip development, possessing vast national resources and research funding, and having just produced the latest breakthroughs.
Under the national summons, the entire team packed up and immediately pivoted to the quantum chip project.
They didn't even need a shakedown period; they were operating at maximum efficiency from the start.
Most importantly, there was the supporting technology for quantum chips that Lin Mo had provided, allowing them to follow the template.
How could the progress not be fast?
Under the night sky, everyone chatted as they strolled from the command center to the main entrance of the Space Force headquarters office building.
"Comrade Lin Mo," Chief Designer Bai Yannian asked with a smile, "If you aren't busy, you should attend this industry conference."
Lin Mo was about to nod, but upon hearing Chief Designer Bai Yannian's next sentence, black lines immediately appeared on his forehead.
"I am also curious," he said, "As the backbone of China, will you actually bend your waist when you meet your prospective father-in-law? Hahahaha!..."
As soon as Chief Designer Bai Yannian finished speaking, those around who were unaware of the situation felt a sudden surge of gossip. Their gazes all intentionally or unintentionally turned toward Lin Mo.
"Chief Designer Bai, spreading rumors is against the law!" Lin Mo sighed helplessly.
"I know what you all are thinking, but this isn't the way to pressure someone into marriage."
"But you know where my focus is right now..."
"Although we still have a few hundred years to prepare, with a great enemy looming, I really have no interest in romance."
Upon hearing this, Chief Designer Bai Yannian retorted irritably.
"You, you!"
"Comrade Lin Mo!"
"As expected, the name Lin has two trees in it—you refuse to believe it when people say you're a block of wood!"
"Great enemy looming, great enemy looming—you said it yourself, it will take at least three hundred years for this enemy to arrive. Are you planning on being a bachelor for three hundred years?"
"As the most outstanding genius in China's history—a talent seen once in a millennium—if you don't date or marry, are you planning to end your lineage?"
Lin Mo choked on his words.
Chief Designer Bai Yannian continued.
"Excellent genes can be passed down!"
"I'm going to give you a new perspective today!"
"You should marry Ren Xueyi this year; it's August now."
"Have a baby next year, two in three years, three in five years, eight years..."
Chief Designer Bai Yannian counted on his fingers, talking to himself.
"No..."
"There's also the possibility of twins!"
"As an expert specializing in genetic engineering, wanting to have twins is simple."
"Wait, that's not right either..."
"What was the record for multiple births in China? Was it quintuplets or sextuplets?"
"Now that everyone has been inoculated with the Azure Dragon Supplement, every woman is physically strong..."
"It's not impossible to have 'nine dragon sons'!..."
Listening to Chief Designer Bai Yannian getting more and more outrageous, Lin Mo felt black lines appear all over his forehead and interrupted him.
"Do you think this is a sow farrowing piglets? Nine children..."
"Enough!"
"I will attend tomorrow's quantum industry conference, and I will bring Ren Xueyi with me."
"There are some things I need to make clear to Ren Xueyi and Uncle Ren; I can't keep them waiting..."
Before today, Lin Mo had actually intended to formalize his relationship with Ren Xueyi.
But now, he truly had new, hidden difficulties.
The reason was mainly that, under the genetic completion and modification effects of the Azure Dragon Supplement level two and level three, he no longer belonged to the category of normal humans.
Strictly speaking, he should be called a new human of "secondary atavism."
Not to mention anything else, who among normal women could withstand an inhuman impact of half a ton?
Furthermore, because Lin Mo's body had not yet fully adapted to his super-strong bio-magnetic field, the survival rate of his sperm was extremely low. There was no possibility of reproduction for the time being.
Although the activity of his sperm would naturally return to normal after his body fully adapted to the changes.
But this time frame could be five years, ten years, or even twenty years.
In fact, for Lin Mo's current lifespan, this time was very short.
According to Lin Mo's calculations, after the genetic completion and modification from the Azure Dragon Supplement level three, his current individual life cycle had reached at least three hundred years...
"That's great!"
Upon hearing this, Chief Designer Bai Yannian, who did not know the underlying reasons, looked pleased.
