Chapter 60 is not enough for tuition fees
Not to mention that Sun Fumin did not return to his hometown, the villagers of Sanmiao Village who knew him were very surprised.
Consciousness Day, December 1, 2047.
The world has regressed for 48 days, at Taiqing Mountain.
After spending half a month together, the members of the Huitian team have begun to adapt to life at the base.
The Huitian Group didn't need to worry about the progress of other work at the base; all they had to do was follow Jiang Ning's instructions from the first day and do their job as well as possible.
Jiang Ning himself rarely showed his face. He spent most of his time in the Taiqing No. 1 Courtyard. When he occasionally came out to inspect, he would only ask a few simple questions about the progress of each member. His expression was always solemn, and no one could see through the anxiety and calculations hidden in his eyes.
However, before each time the world reverses, he would appear on the basement level right on time and say to everyone, "See you tomorrow."
The next day, Su Mian had already established data sharing with eight national-level laboratories. At this moment, she was sitting at her workstation in the northeast corner of the basement, belonging to the Huitian Group. Her fingertips were flying across the keyboard, and the dense stream of data on the screen kept scrolling. The fluorescent light made her cheeks look cold and pale.
The eight laboratories are scattered throughout the country and are all top-notch scientific research sites in the world before the decline of the world.
Every research team here was once a workplace that Su Mian longed for, but now, seeing their work through remote monitoring every day, Su Mian realized that she truly regretted not having studied enough when she needed to use it.
Su Mian could understand the technical terms they were discussing if they spoke slowly, but once the discussion progressed quickly, she found herself completely unable to keep up.
Especially in the past two days, these big shots became quite impatient when they heard Su Mian occasionally ask naive questions.
This impatience deeply hurt Su Mian's pride. She didn't tell Jiang Ning, but secretly started recording the video, saving the content of these big shots' seminar to her phone, and then had Jiang Ning carry it with him when the world was about to fade away, so that it could be used as study notes.
Now she does mostly clerical work, receiving data from various research bases every day and storing it in Luoshu's super brain. The next day, when a research base needs to use this data, it sends it back.
Undeterred, she worked tirelessly, diligently carrying out her tasks while secretly learning new skills.
"Data synchronization rate 98.7%, abnormal fluctuation value controlled at around 0.3." A lab manager from Donghai came through the headset. "Xiao Su, help me find the cause..."
Su Mian nodded slightly, her fingertips paused, and she brought up an abnormal energy curve. Her brows furrowed slightly. "There's no problem here... the missing part is a change in blood flow signals..."
Compared to Su Mian's work, Zhang Jimin's preliminary work was much simpler.
The Huaxia Sleep Report, covering the 30 years from 2016 to 2046, was quickly compiled.
However, the higher up the organization goes, the more difficult it becomes to retrieve the data.
"Hello, Director Wang, this is Xiao Zhang... Could you please visit the major libraries in Kyoto again? I urgently need a copy of the 2003 China Sleep Research Report."
"Hey, Lao Qian! Yes, yes... this is Zhang Jimin. Does your sleep research institute still have sample data from 2025 to 2035...?"
"Hello Mr. Zhong, yes, yes... this is Taiqing Mountain, I am Zhang Jimin, a member of the Huitian Group. We need a global sleep research report, yes... the more detailed the data, the better... We would appreciate your help at the United Nations General Assembly..."
While Zhang Jimin was still painstakingly collecting and compiling information, Lu Xue was lost in confusion.
Jiang Ning asked her to study "milk," but she had no idea where to begin.
Fortunately, Taiqingshan also has a professional medical team with fairly complete equipment, which is mainly responsible for the health maintenance of the base staff.
Lu Xue had no choice but to seek help from this medical team. However, after repeated brain CT scans and full-body scans, and countless blood draws, no abnormalities were found.
Having no other option, Lu Xue began taking this data to animal research experts, brain cell research experts, and gene research experts across the country one by one.
Animal research experts were fine, but some big names in brain cell and gene research were initially quite angry when they heard that they were going to study a dog at this time.
However, when Academician Zhao's voice also appeared in the call, although these people did not know why they were studying a dog at this time, they all began to cooperate.
The one with the most free time was Sun Fumin. In the past half month, none of his teammates had made any progress on their work, so he was naturally bored.
They were either eating and drinking lavishly in the lobby of Taiqing Building or running off to find Political Commissar Zhou.
At first, Political Commissar Zhou didn't want to pay attention to him, but he couldn't stand that this kid kept coming to the barracks for four or five days in a row, either pestering the soldiers to learn how to use a gun or pestering the communications soldiers to understand the working principles of radar and satellites.
Finally, after being bothered by the constant harassment, Political Commissar Zhou came up with a plan: to train the kid and make him give up.
He also claimed that as long as Sun Fumin passed the training, someone would teach him these things, even how to drive a tank and pilot a fighter jet.
This excited Sun Fumin so much that he trained for only one day and was so tired on the second day that he didn't want to get out of bed.
It wasn't physical fatigue, but the psychological trauma caused by the first day of high-intensity training.
On the third day, Political Commissar Zhou was just feeling smug that he had finally gotten rid of Sun Fumin, but to his surprise, Sun Fumin came back again.
This persistence actually allowed him to persevere.
Although the world has regressed and his body can no longer be trained to be as strong as before, seven consecutive days of training still brought about a noticeable change in Sun Fumin's temperament.
This discovery greatly surprised Political Commissar Zhou.
He wasn't surprised that Sun Fumin could persevere, but rather that he suddenly realized that even if the world were to regress every day, a person's temperament could still be cultivated.
Political Commissar Zhou immediately told Academician Zhao about the discovery. Academician Zhao was also very surprised. After studying Sun Fumin for a few days, the two of them immediately began to report it to their superiors.
The most bewildered by this report was the "International Time Alliance," which was working to decipher the world's regression. This group of top scientists from various countries held several meetings to discuss it.
While arguing that this change added variables to the solution, they also specifically discussed and deduced whether "human beings" would undergo new changes under this great catastrophe.
Soon, countries also began to form experimental teams to conduct tests, specifically targeting ordinary people for research.
However, the conference also issued a stern statement prohibiting any experiments that violated taboos.
However, all countries know that such a statement can only deter honest people, not dishonest ones.
When the news reached Taiqing Mountain, Political Commissar Zhou's gaze towards Sun Fumin changed.
"Old Zhou, what kind of look is that? We had a deal, you know. For every month I persist, you'll teach me a skill."
While practicing pull-ups, Sun Fumin noticed Zhou Yunci looking at him strangely and couldn't help but remind him.
"Teach, we must teach. As long as you have the ability to learn, we will teach you everything, including airplanes and cannons."
Political Commissar Zhou waved generously, then grinned mischievously.
"But Xiao Sun, I feel like this training volume is a bit low; it might not be enough to cover the tuition fees..."
