Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 586 A casually written formula leads to an immediate invitation from the Goddess of the Big Dipper! Another top female star throws herself into his arms by West Lake.
Hu Jiangshan took out a notebook from his bag.

When attending meetings, one must bring a notebook and pen with them at all times. This is a habit that Hu Jiangshan developed in his previous life, truly showing his old-fashioned side.

Hu Jiangshan wrote and drew on it.

Xu Yun glanced at him curiously, her beautiful eyes wide open. Although she was far away and couldn't see clearly what Hu Jiangshan was writing, she was certain that he was writing a formula.

Meng Congtao and the others looked at each other, puzzled.

Is this guy surnamed Hu serious?

How could a rich kid from Hong Kong possibly write out any decent formulas?

Judging from his appearance, it would be quite an achievement if he could even write out high school physics and chemistry formulas, and besides, you don't learn much in high schools on Hong Kong Island.

Zhang Rui sat opposite Hu Jiangshan. When he saw what Hu Jiangshan had written, his eyes widened, and he showed an expression of disbelief and incredulity.

Clearly, Zhang Rui saw something that shocked him.

Logically speaking, Zhang Rui should know Hu Jiangshan best, be aware of his abilities, and naturally admire him. However, the fact that he was still so surprised when he saw what Hu Jiangshan had written shows that the formula truly seemed unbelievable to him.

Hu Jiangshan quickly finished writing, then tore off the page and handed it to Xu Yun, saying, "Engineer Xu, I think you'll need this. Take a look."

Xu Yun took the note and glanced at it.

Indeed, Xu Yun's expression changed after just one glance; her eyes widened, and her face shifted unpredictably.

When the others saw Xu Yun's reaction, they also peeked over, their expressions equally fascinating.

Some were surprised, some were deep in thought, and some had a flicker in their eyes, as if they had thought of something.

Of course, some were completely bewildered, sensing that the formula was unusual, but unable to figure out the key to it.

Meng Congtao is an example of the latter situation.

As mentioned earlier, Meng Congtao is indeed somewhat clever, but he doesn't work hard in his profession and always likes to take shortcuts.

Compared to professional skills, Meng Congtao believes that interpersonal relationships and connections are more important, and he focuses most of his attention on them.

Of course, from a certain perspective, there is nothing wrong with doing this. Meng Congtao is doing well in the research institute. However, if he wants to go further and achieve something, he must make achievements in his professional skills. Even if he can get ahead through connections, it won't last long.

For example, the formula written by Hu Jiangshan had never been seen in any paper before. At least none of the engineers and researchers present had seen it, and Meng Congtao couldn't understand it at all.

Meng Congtao's expertise is such that it's clear the formula wasn't just randomly written; it must be quite profound. That's all there is to it.

But looking at the expressions of the others, they were indeed very serious, especially Xu Yun, whose eyes revealed a hint of fanaticism, which made Meng Congtao immediately feel that something was wrong.

Could this guy surnamed Hu really be a technical expert? And someone who understands ion beam technology, even writing out the mysterious formula?

Hu Jiangshan remained calm and composed, as if what he had just written was not some powerful formula, but rather a random scribble.

This formula is indeed very powerful, as the entire Earth did not even exist at that time.

According to the official historical timeline, this formula related to ion beams will not appear for another two years, and it will greatly promote the development of ion beam technology, which can be used not only in aerospace, but also in the military.

It can be said that without this formula, China's aerospace technology, and even the aerospace technology of the entire planet, would not have developed so rapidly, and might even have stagnated for a long time.

Moreover, the formula was created by Hu Jiangshan himself in his previous life, not by any other researcher. Therefore, Hu Jiangshan's initiative in writing it out cannot be considered plagiarism or presenting a treasure.

With this incredibly brilliant formula, comparable to the Big Bang, Hu Jiangshan became a member of one of the most outstanding scientific teams on Earth.

If this continues, Hu Jiangshan might even win the Nobel Prize.

Of course, by that time the Nobel Prize was no longer as appealing. China's strength had reached the top level, surpassing that of the United States, but it had not yet fully grasped the power of discourse.

Zhang Rui gave Hu Jiangshan a thumbs up: "Boss, you're really amazing. I'm not just flattering you."

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "It's nothing, just something I did on the spur of the moment."

Zhang Rui glanced at Xu Yun and the others, and said in a low voice, "Just improvising? Those people don't think that way."

Xu Yun and the others actually started discussing it, and the scene became quite heated.

Of course, Meng Congtao seemed unable to get a word in edgewise and could only listen there like a fool.

Meng Congtao was now filled with regret. He should have known better than to pay attention to Hu Jiangshan. He never expected that the guy had such valuable insights, and that his casual writings had caused such a huge reaction.

Xu Yun is a truly capable woman; her fascination with this formula must mean she's extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Meng Congtao looked at Hu Jiangshan, and seeing his cool, arrogant, and domineering appearance, he felt a burning hatred.

That jerk! He's such an eyesore!

How should we end this today?
After a while, Xu Yun and the others finally finished their discussion, but it was clear that they were very excited, their hearts pounding and their hands trembling.

Xu Yun asked Lu Yuan, "Mr. Lu, may I ask where this formula comes from?"

"This one……"

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "That's not important. What's important is whether this formula will be useful to you."

Xu Yun waved her hand: "No, of course it's important, Mr. Hu. Did you come up with this formula?"

Meng Congtao couldn't help but say, "Xu Gong, it's impossible. How could he possibly come up with a formula? He's not a scientist, not even a researcher."

Xu Yun seemed oblivious to Meng Congtao's complaints, still caught up in her excitement. She looked at the formula again and said, "This formula is so useful! I feel it can be used for ion beam generation! It's amazing! It's simply a work of genius!"

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly, thinking that Xu Yun was quite discerning; she had determined that the formula was effective without conducting any experiments, which was truly impressive.

Xu Yun asked, "Mr. Hu, may I ask how many days you will be staying in Hangzhou?"

Hu Jiangshan paused for a moment: "Well... it's hard to say right now, what's wrong?"

I'd like to invite you to dinner!

"……what?"

Meng Congtao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The other researchers looked at each other, completely bewildered.

I've never heard of Xu Yun taking the initiative to invite a man to dinner, especially since the man wasn't a researcher or someone from the institute.

This is the goddess of the Big Dipper, when did she become so proactive?

This is absolutely outrageous! Opening the door to something so outrageous is just plain outrageous.

Not to mention others, Hu Jiangshan was also very surprised.

As mentioned earlier, Hu Jiangshan had worked with Xu Yun in his previous life and was not unfamiliar with her, but he never expected her to have this side to her.

Can Hu Jiangshan refuse Xu Yun's invitation?
That's impossible. Xu Yun is so beautiful, so cute, and so rich. There are other people present. Hu Jiangshan couldn't possibly refuse her, and he couldn't even find a reason to do so.

"Okay, we can have a meal together sometime."

Xu Yun's face lit up with joy: "Great! Tomorrow then! Yes, tomorrow! I have time tomorrow!"

"Ah, okay, okay..."

Xu Yun's behavior, expression, and emotions made Hu Jiangshan feel somewhat embarrassed. Meng Congtao, watching from the side, was so angry that his teeth were practically grinding to powder, making a clattering sound.

Soon, Xu Yun couldn't sit still any longer and said, "I'm going back to my room first. I want to get back as soon as possible to verify this. You guys can continue your conversation. I'm leaving now!"

Before she could even finish speaking, Xu Yun had already disappeared in a flash.

Goodness, she's a real tech fanatic. Xu Yun and Fang Xiaoya are the same type—definitely crazy female scientists.

The other researchers, including Meng Congtao, looked at each other, speechless.

As soon as Xu Yun left in a flurry, the others couldn't sit still any longer. After all, that formula did indeed exude a certain magic and was full of mystery. Once verified, they might discover even more.

"I'm going back too!"

"I'm leaving!"

"Let's all go back together, nobody can stay here any longer!"

So the researchers left the restaurant one after another, and Meng Congtao definitely followed. Before leaving, he looked back at Hu Jiangshan a few times, probably cursing in his heart, and probably cursing Hu Jiangshan's ancestors for eight generations.

Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui remained in the restaurant, leisurely sipping coffee and chatting in hushed tones.

Zhang Rui's respect for his boss grew stronger. He had always admired him, but now he felt it wasn't enough, far from enough.

Zhang Rui had a feeling that Hu Jiangshan's strength was unfathomable, and the abilities he had shown so far might only be the tip of the iceberg, not even reaching the very core of an elephant.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Rui went back to his room to rest. Hu Jiangshan, feeling bored, decided to take a walk outside the hotel.

Having finally made it to Hangzhou, how could I not appreciate its beautiful scenery?

Zhang Rui wasn't in the mood, or perhaps he was already quite familiar with Hangzhou, while Hu Jiangshan found the place quite novel.

In his previous life, Hu Jiangshan did come to Hangzhou quite often, but it was always for business trips, meetings, or events. His stays were always short, and he didn't even get a proper look at West Lake, Hangzhou's most famous attraction. He would just glance at it briefly before leaving.

Back then, Hu Jiangshan usually needed someone to accompany him when he went out, and he would even be accompanied by bodyguards and security personnel. His status was different then; he was a famous scientist on Earth, and the authorities were very worried that something bad might happen to him.

This time, Hu Jiangshan can finally take a quiet stroll around West Lake. It's a rare opportunity, so he has to seize it.

The hotel is not far from West Lake, but it's not exactly close either; it takes about ten minutes to walk there.

Since Hu Jiangshan wasn't in a hurry, he strolled over at a leisurely pace.

Perhaps because it's not a holiday, there weren't many people on the streets today.

Moreover, domestic tourism is not as popular this year, so many people are going abroad to travel. It is the peak season for going abroad. For example, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea are popular tourist destinations for Chinese people.

In the following years, this situation changed; outbound travel became less popular, while domestic travel gradually became more popular.

The reason is actually quite simple: the safety level of most foreign countries is declining, and Chinese people feel unsafe abroad, so they naturally don't go out.

Hu Jiangshan saw a convenience store on the road, went in and bought a bottle of iced Coke. He walked and drank the Coke as he went, and he actually felt like he had returned to his student days in his previous life.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan arrived at the West Lake.

To be fair, the scenery was alright, but not particularly stunning.

Hu Jiangshan was not disappointed; he came here mainly for the experience.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan looked at the broken bridge and then walked back.

As Hu Jiangshan passed by the dock, he wondered if he should rent a small boat and go boating. It would be a shame not to experience boating on West Lake since he had come all this way.

But rowing a boat alone doesn't seem very interesting.

Two men wouldn't work in this situation; it would be strange. It would be more interesting to find a girl.

For example, Xu Yun, or...

Just then, Hu Jiangshan saw someone walking over.

It was a girl wearing a baseball cap and a windproof shirt with a high collar that almost covered her mouth and nose.

The girl was tall and slender with long legs and a soft, graceful figure, yet her movements were very efficient.

Hu Jiangshan was a little confused. Could it be her?

Although you can't see the face, you can tell from the gait.

That's right, isn't that the big star Chen Yifei?

If it were Chen Yifei, dressing up like that, almost completely covering her face, would be perfectly normal.

Did Chen Yifei come alone?

How could that be? Zhang Xiaorou should at least come along.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan suddenly noticed that two people seemed to be hanging behind Chen Yifei, acting suspiciously. They would stop from time to time to observe Chen Yifei's movements.

That wasn't a misperception; Hu Jiangshan's intuition was quite sharp, especially in this life, where he rarely made mistakes.

It seems Chen Yifei is being targeted, while Zhang Xiaorou is likely dealing with other people.

Hu Jiangshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to the boat rental window and rented a boat, the kind with a canopy, and it wasn't a small boat.

However, such boats are usually equipped with a boatman, so that professionals can do professional work.

Chen Yifei was clearly uneasy, glancing back from time to time. The two people were still there, seemingly looking for an opportunity to approach.

However, in public, they didn't dare to act too conspicuously, since they were probably not robbers, but media reporters.

Just then, someone patted Chen Yifei on the shoulder, startling her.

Looking back, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Mr. Hu, what's wrong with you...?"

Before Chen Yifei could finish speaking, Hu Jiangshan pulled her away.

The two boarded the covered boat, and Hu Jiangshan instructed the boatman to steer it away from the shore and toward the center of West Lake.

The boat was well-designed; the interior was spacious, with a table and two cushions, making it a perfect spot for Hu Jiangshan and Chen Yifei to sit facing each other.

Chen Yifei patted her chest, looking still shaken, and said, "I was terrified! I thought I was doomed!"

Hu Jiangshan laughed: "It's not that serious, it's just two reporters."

"They... might not actually do anything crazy."

"By the way, where's your assistant?"

"She was trying to block the others, so we got separated."

"The scene is really chaotic, but thankfully I'm here, big star."
