Chapter 1: Clinging to a Powerful Figure
If you had a lot of scientific and technological knowledge that was ahead of modern technology, what would you do?
To establish a company and become the world's only giant enterprise?
To establish a nation overseas and become the supreme ruler of a country?
What is the ultimate goal of both?
Money and power!
Using money to enjoy a life that ordinary people cannot enjoy or even imagine.
Use power to arm yourself, so that you will not be harmed, and your enemies will be harmed.
What are the costs for both?
Time, safety, and even emotions, or perhaps humanity!
But does every effort always yield a reward?
Does sacrificing time, risking life-or-death situations, and abandoning family and friends guarantee success in one's career?
I don't think so.
Okay, so you don't build companies or countries, but selflessly dedicate your knowledge to all mankind in exchange for fame, fortune, power, and sex?
Humans don't thank Luo Ji!
So you just do nothing, make a little money, and lie around doing nothing?
Putting aside whether it's fair to those who have learned that knowledge, are you willing to accept this?
Are you content to live an ordinary life as an ordinary person?
Are you content with just making do?
Are you willing to be forgotten a hundred years from now?
"stop."
In a detention cell at the security office of the Dongda He'er Fenwei Institute of Technology, a man with a dark face interrupted Guo Yi, who was giving a passionate speech, and said in a cold voice, "I'm asking you why you drove your car into the school, not anything else!"
"I'm about to get to that point, it's you...."
"Snapped!"
The man slammed his hand on the table and stood up, shouting, "Do you even know where you are...?"
"I know, otherwise why would I force my way in?"
"..."
The man's face turned red with anger when he saw Guo Yi interrupt him so nonchalantly.
However, before the man could speak further, three middle-aged men with no obvious physical characteristics pushed open the door and walked in: "I've taken over here, thank you."
Upon seeing the three people, the man's eyes instantly softened. He immediately saluted, turned, and left, as smooth as a Dove chocolate bar.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Xici, and I am the special operations officer stationed at Harbin Institute of Technology."
After Gu Xici sat down, she opened a document and briefly read it to Guo Yi: "Guo Yi, male, nineteen years old, orphan, dropped out of junior high school due to hospitalization for illness."
After dropping out of school, he made a living by finding vulnerabilities on various vulnerability discovery platforms in the country.
After reading it aloud, Gu Xici stared intently at Guo Yi, not missing a single subtle change in his expression: "Although we only did a rough investigation, we are almost certain that you haven't been in contact with any laboratories, let alone foreigners. So, where did that material and document in your car come from?"
"I personally processed and synthesized the E-carbon steel, and I wrote the documentation."
Guo Yi looked at Gu Xici without flinching and said calmly and confidently, "After the people you send go to my house, send my equipment to Professor Zhou, a materials science expert, and ask him if I can synthesize E-carbon steel using that equipment."
Furthermore, I purchased the raw materials and equipment through legitimate online shopping platforms; you can check my purchase records.
"Don't worry, we will check all of these."
Gu Xici nodded, then changed the subject: "Why did you force your way in here?"
"Because Professor Zhou, a national-level materials science expert, has been teaching here recently, and he also has a materials laboratory here, he can conduct preliminary verification of whether the properties of E carbon steel are falsified in the shortest possible time."
Because you are here, you have the ability to block related information immediately.
Because I want to achieve it all in one go!
What does "doing it in one step" mean?
"All I need to do is barge in here with E-carbon steel and documents, and I'll have unlimited funds and resources at my disposal."
Guo Yi leaned back in his chair and said wistfully, "I'll be able to have enough to start working on with peace of mind, saving me research and development time."
I will have enough security so that I don't have to worry about being killed at any time.
I can provide for my every need, ensuring I have enough to eat, wear, and a place to live!
"Then you might need to..."
"Don't rush to refute."
Guo Yi interrupted Gu Xici and said with a smile, "Buy Professor Zhou a set of the same items and quantities as I bought, and then use the equipment I bought to process and synthesize E-carbon steel."
"..."
Gu Xici pondered for a moment, then her expression suddenly changed drastically.
Materials science is a kind of metaphysics in science; who knows what you add or do to create a new material.
Therefore, the emergence of each new material means the disappearance of a massive amount of resources.
Therefore, if the materials Guo Yi bought just met the requirements for one piece of E-carbon steel, it means that Guo Yi knew the formula for E-carbon steel before synthesizing it, rather than obtaining E-carbon steel through repeated research and experiments.
So the question is, how did Guo Yi know about the E-carbon steel formula?
There is only one explanation: Guo Yi, whose resume seems simple and clean, has a powerful force behind him that they do not know about!
That force is either a research force with complex relationships, abundant funds, and strong scientific research capabilities, or a spy force that can infiltrate top laboratories in other countries and silently steal the latest scientific research results.
Based on Guo Yi's earlier explanation of "one-step solution," Gu Xici leans towards the former. Therefore, Guo Yi was one of the core researchers within that scientific research force, and now he has betrayed that force!?
"Wait, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Gu Xici's expression was becoming increasingly serious and her gaze was becoming more and more strange, Guo Yi quickly asked, "You didn't add a lot of weird character settings to me, did you?"
Things aren't as complicated as you think..."
At this point, Guo Yi tapped his head: "I have a lot of knowledge about technological products that are ahead of current technology in my head."
E-carbon steel is among the most basic, cheapest, and simplest materials used in technological products.
Therefore, I will use E-carbon steel to prove to you that what I said is true.
In this way, I can skip over things like time and interpersonal relationships, and directly be promoted to a national treasure-level scientific researcher.
At this point, Guo Yi repeated with longing, "In this way, I won't have to worry about funding, supplies, security, secrecy, living arrangements, and other trivial matters. I can manufacture the technological products I want as quickly as possible, explore the universe, make a name for myself in history, and have my own family tree!"
After saying that, Guo Yi changed the subject, leaned back in his chair, and said lazily, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me."
With E-carbon steel around, you will definitely send people to protect my safety, and at the same time, I can rely on E-carbon steel to obtain a steady stream of funding.
"..."
Gu Xici stared at Guo Yi in silence for a while, then turned to the person next to her and said, "Fang, take him to the reception center and take good care of him."
After giving the order, Gu Xici and Guo Yi stood up to say goodbye, saying, "In the next few days, Fang will take care of your daily needs and protect your safety. Please understand."
"Um."
