Chapter Thirty-Five: They Won’t Dissect Me for Research, Will They? (Please Keep Reading)

Zhao Zizhen was stunned. His entire body went limp.

Lin Yang was actually…

Actually going to send them controlled nuclear fusion technology!

The three people listening in on the call—Ye Guhong among them—were likewise instantly shaken to the core.

This was controlled nuclear fusion technology!

They had no doubt whatsoever about Lin Yang’s words.

Since Lin Yang had personally confirmed it, there could be no mistake!

That was precisely why, at this moment, Zhao Zizhen, Ye Guhong, and the others all felt their minds buzzing and electricity coursing through their bodies.

They were completely overwhelmed.

“President Zhao? Are you all right?”

Over the phone, Lin Yang heard the sound of the receiver crashing to the floor, followed by a harsh buzzing noise and Wang Guang’s startled cry. He could not help asking tentatively.

In the duty room, Zhao Zizhen heard Lin Yang’s faint voice coming through the receiver. His body trembled, and he immediately came back to his senses. Hastily picking up the receiver again, he said repeatedly, “I’m fine, young man. I was just too excited and lost focus for a moment. I didn’t frighten you, did I?”

“No. As long as you’re all right, President Zhao. Have you cleared out the mailbox? I’m about to start transmitting the materials,” Lin Yang asked.

“Yes, yes, it’s been cleared!” Zhao Zizhen replied, barely able to contain his excitement.

“All right. I’ll begin transmitting now. There’s quite a lot of material this time, so I’ll send it in separate batches. It may take several transmissions to finish.”

Before Zhao Zizhen could respond, Lin Yang continued, “By the way, you’d better give me a dedicated cloud drive or some other channel for transferring files. Email attachments have a size limit, so sending materials that way is inconvenient. With a cloud drive, it’ll be much easier to send you other materials in the future.”

Lin Yang had wanted to mention this the last time he sent them the technology for the 0.1-nanometer lithography machine.

Using email to transmit important materials was not only troublesome but also carried certain risks.

The National Academy of Sciences surely had an official internal cloud drive or some other dedicated transfer method. Next time, he could simply package the materials and upload them there. It would be both more convenient and more secure.

Of course, he could also have the system build one, but any additional services would cost him. He did not have many national treasure points at the moment, and Lin Yang did not want to waste them.

In any case, the academy’s official internal transfer channel was bound to be secure. There was no need for him to build one himself.

Hearing this, Zhao Zizhen exchanged a glance with Ye Guhong through the video conference and immediately said, “All right, young man. We do have a dedicated internal cloud drive. How should I send you the link?”

“Just reply to my email and include the link in the message.”

“All right. I’ll reply right away!” Zhao Zizhen said as he instructed Wang Guang to send Lin Yang a reply immediately.

A few seconds later, Wang Guang gave Zhao Zizhen an okay sign.

Zhao Zizhen promptly said, “Young man, the link has been sent. Please check your inbox.”

“Got it. Then let’s leave it there for now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up,” Lin Yang said indifferently after glancing at his email.

“Please wait a moment, young man. There are a few things I’d like to discuss with you. Would you mind staying on the line for a few more minutes?”

Hearing that Lin Yang was about to hang up again, Zhao Zizhen hurriedly spoke. He was afraid Lin Yang would end the call as abruptly as he had last time.

“Oh? What is it? Go ahead, President Zhao.”

Lin Yang’s response allowed Zhao Zizhen to breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately said, “Here’s the situation. During our last conversation, you said that you were currently abroad on an academic exchange and preparing to study overseas. May I ask whether there is any possibility of your returning to continue your studies here?”

“If you have something to say, President Zhao, please speak plainly.” Lin Yang did not answer directly.

Zhao Zizhen pondered for a moment before saying solemnly, “All right, then I’ll be frank. We all hope you’ll come back to study. As for what you said last time about your grades not being ideal and your inability to attend the university of your choice, I’m going to venture that you may have a serious weakness in the sciences.”

“But that doesn’t matter. As long as you’re willing to come back, you can choose any university you like. We will also keep your identity absolutely confidential. You can rest assured of that.”

“In fact, given your abilities, you could even skip university altogether. We can directly issue you a certificate of completion and a degree from whichever university you prefer. The National Academy of Sciences would also reserve an academician position for you. I hope you’ll give it some thought.”

“Oh… I could become an academician directly?” Lin Yang said languidly.

“Of course. With your abilities and contributions, becoming an academician would be more than justified. Even if you wanted to become the academy’s president directly, that would be entirely possible!” Zhao Zizhen said earnestly.

His words amused Lin Yang. “If I became president, wouldn’t I be taking your position, President Zhao?”

“Haha, how could that be called taking my position? We’re all contributing to the country. If you’re willing, I’d gladly hand the presidency over to you and work under you. Just don’t look down on me,” Zhao Zizhen said from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it was the technology behind the 0.1-nanometer lithography machine or the controlled nuclear fusion technology now being transmitted, either one was enough to prove that Lin Yang’s abilities and strength far surpassed theirs by an astonishing margin.

He could hardly wait for Lin Yang to agree.

It was easy to imagine that if Lin Yang truly joined the National Academy of Sciences, domestic scientific research would soar under his leadership.

Lin Yang fell silent for a moment.

He could hear the sincerity in Zhao Zizhen’s words.

However, it was not yet time for him to return.

After a pause, Lin Yang replied, “President Zhao, I understand what you mean, and I appreciate your goodwill. I can tell you clearly that I will not be studying abroad. On that point, please rest assured—and please reassure the country as well.”

He knew that Zhao Zizhen must have received authorization from the authorities before making such a guarantee. Otherwise, even as president of the National Academy of Sciences, he could never have offered Lin Yang the choice of any university, let alone direct graduation and positions as academician or president.

Those words represented the authorities’ position. They were also testing his intentions.

Moreover, Lin Yang did not need to guess to know that someone was probably monitoring his current call with the country.

Therefore, those words were meant not only for Zhao Zizhen but also for the officials listening in.

After all, given the abilities he had displayed, the authorities could hardly feel at ease without a personal guarantee from him.

It was easy to understand if one put oneself in their position. If he had encountered the same situation, he would not have felt reassured either. That was why Lin Yang had given them his promise.

And that was exactly what happened. After hearing his words, Zhao Zizhen visibly relaxed and said happily, “That’s wonderful. You’ll always be welcome to come back!”

“Haha, if I did return, you wouldn’t dissect me for research, would you?” Lin Yang joked, recalling a popular online meme.

What he could not see was that the instant he said those words, Zhao Zizhen’s expression became more serious than ever before.
