114: Chapter 114 The Chinese Academy of Sciences is shocked

"This is the place?"

Soon, a look of confusion appeared on Elder Jiang's face.

Everyone had thought it would be some kind of laboratory.

They never expected it to actually be a Courtyard House!

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of the many Academicians gradually became rather grim.

Elder Jiang said sarcastically:

"Director Long, the chips design you told me about, the one that might result in an earth-shattering creation—it didn't come from here, did it?"

"How could it come out? By relying on his own imagination?"

These words were harsher than being doused with cold water.

Long Anyou's mouth twitched slightly.

However, he didn't waste words, as he himself wasn't entirely sure what that fellow Lin Heng was thinking.

He actually chose to trust Lin Heng back then.

"Let's go in and take a look, and we'll know."

Director Long snorted coldly.

He, a dignified member of the State Security, was being held in check by a few old guys who tinkered with inventions. If this got out, his reputation would be completely ruined.

"Director, there's no one..."

Soon, a member of the Longan Bureau retreated and reported to Director Long.

Huh?

Director Long's eyebrows lifted slightly.

Didn't Lin Heng say he would be waiting for him? Why was he alone, and where was Lin Heng?

Seeing this, Elder Jiang immediately grasped the general situation.

He chuckled.

"Director Long, the University Student you introduced to me—he didn't run off, did he?"

"Heh, I didn't expect that even your Longan Bureau has people you can't keep track of?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the color on Director Long's face became even uglier.

However, on the other side.

The Academicians gathered because of Elder Jiang suddenly discovered a problem.

They stared wide-eyed at Elder Jiang.

"Elder Jiang, what did you just say? A University Student? Is that true?"

"Why didn't you tell us about this before?"

"What kind of chips can a University Student create? He probably doesn't even understand 8868, yet he dares to boast about manufacturing chips? Isn't that just messing around!"

"Exactly, Elder Jiang, you can't just drag us all here just to vent your anger, can you?"

"Elder Jiang, this is your fault; you're being quite unkind!"

"I have busy people in my laboratory; I don't have this kind of free time. Elder Jiang, if you keep this up, I won't come out next time you call!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone started grumbling at Elder Jiang.

However, Elder Jiang just snorted coldly.

"How is this my problem? It's clearly Director Long's problem! He said he could present us with an earth-shattering creation, so I thought of you all and asked you to come witness it."

The others' mouths twitched slightly upon hearing this.

This guy definitely just wanted to vent his anger; he purely wanted to watch a joke unfold.

If a University Student could produce chips, they would eat the lithography machine!

Everyone felt depressed.

But since they had come, there was no way they could just turn around and leave, so they could only wait and see what happened.

"Perhaps Lin Heng has something to deal with. Let's go in first."

"He called me before and said we could enter freely."

At this point, Director Long could only adopt a 'broken pot, broken fall' attitude (make the best of a bad situation).

There was no choice. Having come this far, thinking about retreating was naturally impossible.

"Heh, I'd like to see what kind of ideas a University Student can come up with."

Elder Jiang chuckled upon hearing this.

Forget a University Student; even they, old monsters immersed in various specialties for decades, wouldn't dare claim they could truly produce a chip!

What qualifications did a University Student have?

Only an ignorant University Student would be so reckless as to speak such arrogant words, like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger.

He clasped his hands behind his back and walked directly into the Courtyard House.

At the same time, his voice drifted back:

"University Students nowadays are getting more and more arrogant. They must have learned too little professional knowledge and don't appreciate the wisdom of their predecessors. They're not even as good as high school students!"

"When I get back, I'll report to the leadership. We should increase the intensity and depth [of education] so those ignorant University Students can properly recognize their own shortcomings."

Seeing Elder Jiang walk in, the others saw no reason to linger outside. Thus, regardless of whether they felt comfortable or not, they all walked in.

Director Long and the others also shook their heads slightly and entered together.

Elder Jiang walked at the very front, sensing the vast area covered by the Courtyard House, and felt a small jolt of shock internally.

He pursed his lips, "I didn't expect that University Student to have such high standards; the place he lives in is quite nice."

Everyone knew that in Dragon Capital, the most expensive thing was a Courtyard House.

In this place where every inch of land was precious, occupying such a large Courtyard House showed just how substantial Lin Heng's capital was!

Just this Courtyard House... it probably cost a small fortune (a small target).

"Hmph! I want to see what earth-shattering thing this guy can produce!"

Elder Jiang snorted coldly, glanced sideways at the main hall ahead, and without much thought, quickly walked inside.

The others, sensing the simple luxury within, were also slightly shocked and began gauging the dimensions of the place.

And suddenly!

A gasp rang out.

Huh!?

Everyone hurriedly looked toward the main hall.

The sound had come from there.

And that was exactly where Elder Jiang was located.

"What happened?"

Director Long and the others walking behind immediately tensed up and looked upward.

They didn't overthink it and immediately quickened their pace.

The people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences also reacted quickly and hurried toward the main hall along with the people from the Longan Bureau, their faces filled with worry.

...

When they arrived in the main hall, they found Elder Jiang seemingly having fallen to the ground, lying amidst a pile of white papers covered in writing, fumbling around.

"Elder Jiang, are you alright... Huh!?"

Just as everyone was about to inquire about Elder Jiang's safety, their gazes quickly shifted from him to the documents beside him.

Upon noticing the text written on them, they were all dumbfounded...

"Holy crap!!!"

Afterward, just like Elder Jiang, they immediately threw themselves onto the ground and began observing closely.

And later, after slightly comprehending what was written, they only felt their hearts pounding.

What was written there, needless to say...

chips!

It was the entire theory and manufacturing process for chips...

There were even blueprints for the lithography machine!

For a moment, everyone held their breath, afraid to miss a single word. Some even nearly fainted because of it.

Director Long and the others, being laymen, didn't understand.

They frowned slightly.

"What are these people doing? Collectively kneeling in worship? Prostrating themselves?"

How much respect did this warrant?

However, upon seeing this scene, Director Long secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he became inwardly proud.
