Chapter 589: Found X!
Xue Xi and Yu Da walked out. When they went downstairs, Yu Da had yet to recover from the shock.
The three great figures were actually s.n.a.t.c.hing Sister Xi…
Ever since the club was disbanded, Yu Da and the rest had automatically joined the Roaring Flame Society. Hence, they addressed her as Sister Xi instead of the president.
When the elevator was too slow to arrive, the two of them decided to take the stairs.
At the next step, Yu Da could not help but glance at Sister Xi. Xue Xi suddenly stopped on a step and said coldly, “What are you looking at?”
Yu Da: “…Sister Xi, do you know what a light source is?”
Xue Xi nodded. “According to the computer teacher, it should be a machine that produces chips.”
Yu Da: “…”
The corners of his lips twitched. “Sister Xi, do you know that China hasn’t mastered this technology yet?”
Xue Xi was confused. “So?”
Yu Da said, “The Light Source Machine is actually particular about precision. Our country can only be precise up to 14 nanometers, but overseas, it has already reached 6 nanometers. If we want to forcefully take over the foreign market, we have to be more precise. However, do you know that there are only two countries overseas that have grasped this technology? One is Country H and the other is Country R. However, the technology that these two countries have mastered is only successfully developed with the help of several countries. And this technological development overseas has always excluded China. If you want to study the Light Source Machine, there’ll be only yourself to compete against the other countries. It’s almost impossible.”
When he heard Director Liu’s words, Yu Da knew that the professors were fooling Sister Xi. In order to not let Sister Xi be cheated, he decided to warn her.
However, the moment he said this, he saw Xue Xi still staring at him. “And then?”
Yu Da: “?”
Then, Sister Xi, shouldn’t you be questioning the professors why they lied to you? Looking at your att.i.tude, could it be…
Yu Da was shocked. “Sister Xi, don’t tell me you still want to study this?”
Xue Xi was confused. “Why not?”
Yu Da: “…”
Yu Da stuttered, “B-But… That’s impossible.”
Xue Xi: “If foreign countries can do it, why can’t China?”
Yu Da: “!!!”
He frowned. “But we have a 99.9% chance of failure. Since that’s the case, why should we still try?”
Xue Xi turned around and continued walking. “Perhaps right now, some of our technologies are indeed inferior to those overseas, but I believe that after our efforts, this gap will shrink. The research and development itself is meaningful.”
The attempt at development itself was meaningful.
This sentence made Yu Da stop in his tracks.
He looked at the girl walking in front.
The girl’s footsteps were light and her back was thin. Her long red hair was draped behind her, but her back was straight as though she was confident in everything she did.
Yu Da was suddenly filled with fighting spirit. He took a step forward and said, “Sister Xi, I’m willing to join this project.”
Xue Xi nodded. “In that case, you’ll be in charge of recruiting.”
Yu Da: “?”
If a research project was to be established, other than money, it also needed talents.
It was impossible for Xue Xi to undertake such a huge project alone. What she needed were the top students from each major.
Math, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science…
However, Yu Da was willing to join because of Xue Xi.
As for the rest, most of them hoped to study a project that was easy to achieve. With their experience in scientific research, they would be able to do well in their jobs in the future.
Who would be willing to partic.i.p.ate in this? It was obvious that it was impossible.
Yu Da felt a headache coming.
When he returned to the dormitory and thought of Xue Xi’s words, he could only bite the bullet and post the recruitment notice on the school intranet.
As soon as this project was introduced, there were indeed ugly comments below:
“…”
“The initiator, Xue Xi? Is this Xue Xi the Sister Xi I know? Has Sister Xi been cheated? Why did she suddenly start a research and development project?”
“I’ve always been proud because I’m a student of Huaxia University. However, when I saw this project, I have to say that I still have a guilty conscience. There are so many top-notch researchers in China who have never developed something. How can our school possibly develop something that the technicians of several foreign countries have developed together? However, I still have to say that Sister Xi’s research and development spirit is admirable!”
“I’m impressed by Sister Xi. She actually dares to challenge this, but I’m afraid that unless she delays time, she won’t be able to develop it in the end.”
…
There were many comments. Yu Da believed that if it were not for the fact that the initiator was Xue Xi, many people would definitely be bas.h.i.+ng him for being arrogant and having a screw loose.
This thread was uploaded for a day and there were more than a thousand comments. Although the tone of the comments was alright, no one left a useful comment.
Yu Da rubbed his face and saw Xue Xi’s message: “The project has been finalized. Inform everyone. See you on the third floor of the laboratory, the day after tomorrow.”
Yu Da: “…”
He was everyone.
…
…
With Old Liu around, Xue Xi’s project application was approved very quickly. The starting capital was 500,000 yuan. If there were any needs in the future, they would have to add more.
Xue Xi had no concept of money. After informing Yu Da, she continued to look at her phone.
Beside her, Xie Yingying and Li Zixia could not help but say, “Sister Xi, not many people will partic.i.p.ate in this. Why don’t the two of us go make up the numbers for you?”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Just as she replied, her phone rang. When she picked it up, she realized that it was Zheng Zhi. “Xue Xi, don’t think that I can’t find you just because you don’t want Jing Fei to tell me your phone number.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Zheng Zhi’s voice was stern. “Let me tell you, after school tonight, you must report to the special department. There are many things in the internet department that require you to do odd jobs! Also, have you not found X yet? I knew that you were unreliable. Let me tell you, if you can’t find X, get lost!”
Xue Xi: “…I’ve found them.”
Zheng Zhi’s tone instantly turned solemn. “Who is it?”
“…”
