Xu Le didn't know how to answer.
Two years ago, he was just an apprentice who lived in a remote mining star and repaired home appliances with a strange uncle. Although he had a strong interest and talent in mechanical repair from a young age, he also entered the top of the Federation. The mobile company is ideal in life, but when he really became a researcher at the Nutshell Mobile Company Research Institute, took the rank of civilian second lieutenant, and truly entered the core area of the federal research field, he still could not fully adapt to this role change.
Just like the proverb of the Federation, when a dream becomes a reality and comes to you, it will still be like a dream.
The Research Institute of Nutshell Motor Corporation, the three military academies and the Federal Academy of Sciences are actually in the same system. For Xu Le, this is an unfamiliar world. He is familiar with those metal lines and chip components, but he is not. Familiarize yourself with how the world works.
Hearing a hint of sarcasm and anger from Professor Shen, he fell into silence, and only then did he realize that there was no essential difference between the seemingly pure academia and the orphans in the Donglin Region.
It is also true that power is the same as the sea of stars. How can those characters who are already standing on it allow themselves such a small role to gain enough capital through the success of developing a new generation of federal mecha.
"You don't have to worry about anything. At least I'm still alive now." Looking at Xu Le who was silent, Old Professor Shen suddenly thought of himself many years ago, and said with a hard smile, "I think, whether it's the Academy of Sciences or the Research Institute , Those guys who have been away from the front line of research for a long time should not have the courage to snatch my things."
Xu Le smiled with some difficulty.
"Hurry up and get this done while I'm still alive." Old Professor Shen put on his glasses again, bowed his head to the desk, and began to tap lightly on the problems Xu Le encountered with his trembling fingers.
Xu Le stopped disturbing Old Professor Shen and walked down the metal stairs quietly.
That afternoon, he saw Old Professor Shen's opinion on the light-screen desktop. The problem that had troubled him for three hours became so transparent with just a few simple sentences. It was easy to find the intersection of breakthrough, and while secretly amazed, Xu Le also did not understand why the old professor was suddenly so willing to help himself, and the other party should clearly understand that these things involve the new generation of mechas in the Federation, but they do not The theoretical research that the old professor is most concerned about has little to do with it.
In the following days, in the quiet and undisturbed laboratory in the three buildings of the Research Institute behind the First Federal Military Academy, Professor Shen and Xu Le, two old and young eccentrics, kept going. Repeat the process of researching, designing, encountering obstacles, inquiring, consulting, and solving.
Xu Le was doing the main work, but it was Professor Shen who really pointed the way. The old professor still stayed in the office on the second floor for a long time, and seemed to be sorting out some materials, and the rest of the time was spent as a teacher for Xu Le.
After work, the relationship between Xu Le and Professor Shen quickly became familiar, and occasionally they would drink tea and sit and chat together. It's just that the content of the chat between the two must be quite boring to outsiders.
"Doing things like learning is actually going to extremes." Professor Shen sat on the stairs on the second floor with hot tea beside him, and said with a trembling voice: "After I graduated from the first academy, I directly I joined the Nutshell Research Institute as an assistant, and after I made some achievements, I entered the Academy of Sciences... I used to have many glorious moments, such as when that generation of mechas officially came off the assembly line, I was also very excited at that time."
"However, when I got older, I realized that the mission of a scientist is not to develop a machine that can kill people faster and more effectively." Professor Shen took a sip of tea and said with a sigh, "The development of science will inevitably lead to the development of weapons. More advanced, but the purpose of scientific development is not here, but at the extreme.”
"The big to the extreme is the universe, and the small to the extreme is the quantum."
Professor Shen didn't go to see Xu Le who was in a daze downstairs, and said to himself, "I'm not very good at astrophysics. The creation and destruction of the universe will eventually return to the category of philosophy, but I also learn philosophy. very poor, so in the end I aimed the direction of quantum dynamics measurable."
"I always thought that everything in the universe should always have a law to follow, or a reason to speak."
"However, at the end of my research, I discovered that very small is very large, and I still have to return to the category of philosophy... I said that my philosophy is extremely poor."
Old Professor Shen was like a child, sitting at the bottom of the first floor stairs and said with a laugh. Xu Le sat on a chair on the first floor with a smile on his face. This kind of chatting without anything else was a very interesting thing for them.
In the entire federal academic community, no one knows that the young and old in this laboratory are studying the difficult problems encountered by the latest generation of mechas in the Federation, and no one knows that their research progress has already left other people far away. in the rear.
Xu Le and Old Professor Shen have been able to drink tea and chat frequently in the past two days. It is precisely because he confirmed that the direction is correct, and it will not be long before the transformation of the new mecha electronic jet can be completed. The most difficult problem of the Federation, in front of these two people, gradually became too simple.
The reason why it is so easy is partly because Professor Shen has absolute experience and achievements in quantum measurable dynamics. Although those are only subsidiary results in the long research road, they are enough for the new generation of mecha power systems. problems and provide strong theoretical support. Those theoretical data models, which other researchers may need to study from scratch, are all ready-made things on Professor Shen's side.
As for the other part, that is Xu Le's strong learning ability and practical ability. To transform the theoretical data model into a real design process, this is a very critical part. Even an engineering department needs to spend a lot of time and perform repeated calculations in order to draw the most likely structural drawings. These days, old professor Shen gave Xu Le a lot of shocks, and Xu Le also gave this old professor countless shocks. This young researcher is like a database that gathers countless intelligences of federal engineers. For each data model, he always The matching real design can be found in the shortest time.
This kind of ability can't be explained, it can only be called talent. Old Professor Shen looked at the young guy downstairs and couldn't help laughing and thinking, what exactly is in this child's mind
In Xu Le's mind was the practical ability taught him by Uncle Feng Yu, the unrestrained design concept, and in the deepest part, there were the endless structural drawings brought to him by that black dream. To this day, he still thinks that these high-level structural drawings are the inheritance left by Uncle Feng Yu. He has no idea that this is the largest existence in the Federation, the deepest wisdom, the central computer that is located several kilometers underground in the Charter Bureau. … to awaken him, and to give him wealth.
The federal central computer has stored all the most advanced structural designs for tens of thousands of years. Although these structural designs may not be able to become reality, they can appear in the central computer, and the level is naturally extremely profound.
Under these conditions, there is no doubt that Xu Le has all the conditions to become the best engineer in the Federation, and the conditions he possesses are so unique and so unrepeatable.
From an apprentice, seeing that he will soon become the most advanced mecha in the Federation, Xu Le's mood is relaxed and happy, but he can't help but feel a little confused. He subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, but immediately thought that the old professor was looking at him upstairs. He looked up embarrassedly, only to see the eyes of old professor Shen lit up, and the two men resting on his knees A finger slowly opened...
"It's been a long time since I smoked."
Professor Shen took a nice puff of his cigarette, and unskilledly blew out a broken smoke ring. In the early years when he was addicted to the night in the laboratory, the top scientist of the Federation was also used to smoking. However, when the war between the Federation and the Empire broke out, Professor Shen worked for the Federation for 50 years. 's slogan, quit cigarettes resolutely, for a while... This has been decades.
The old and the young were sitting on the metal stairs on the second floor of the laboratory, smoking cigarettes, and talking one after another, like those bored passers-by at the entrance of the supermarket in the Capital District, except that Professor Shen was looking at them. It was all the details in the laboratory, everything here, that he pieced together bit by bit by himself.
Xu Le was looking at Professor Shen from the corner of his eye. The yellow-brown spots on the old man's face were getting darker and brighter. In the past few days, the professor's spirit was very good, but he always felt a little bad in his heart. omen.
That night, Xu Le returned to Wangdu's apartment. After washing Zou Yu's hair, he locked himself in the bedroom, lying on the bed with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling above his head in a daze. The endless pictures in his mind, as his mind mobilized, was a map of a planet full of mines and green fields in the Donglin Region.
Naturally, he thought of Uncle Feng Yu. Recently, he has been getting along with Old Professor Shen day and night, and has received many sincere compliments. Only then did he truly understand how much Uncle Feng Yu taught himself when he was teaching him how to repair home appliances in the days of repairing shops in Donglin District.
Xu Le feels that his life is very lucky. Although this life is a bit messy, since the beginning of Donglin District, he has often met some noble people. The so-called noble people are people who sincerely help him. The same is true.
The next day, he walked into the institute silently as usual, but as he walked in, his mood became weird, because the colleagues he met on the way greeted him in a very kind way. Complicated eyes looked at himself.
In front of the laboratory, he saw several officials in military uniforms, who should be the director of the technical department of the Nutshell Mobile Company. Without chip access, these officials can only wait outside the lab door.
"Second Lieutenant Xu Le?"
"Yes."
"Inform you of something..."
Xu Le's hand clenched tightly, some couldn't believe the news he heard, the breakfast in the paper bag in his hand was deformed a little by him.
This is the little yellow pancake that I brought to Professor Shen. Yesterday, the old professor said that although his teeth are not very good, he really wants to eat this.
Xiaohuang pancakes have already been bought, Professor Shen... Why did you just go
