I am just an ordinary person! Why do you like me?

The other side of Y City.

The headquarters laboratory of Star Technology.

Yi Xingchen walked through the long corridor, passing by one transparent track after another surrounded by bulletproof glass.

These transparent tracks not only ensure the safety of the laboratory, but they actually serve a more important purpose.

With every step Yi Xingchen took, the holographic projections on both sides of him would present the project progress before his eyes.

At this time, a line of words projected in front of Yi Xingchen showed: Progress of human life virtualization experiment - 56%.

The entire transparent track is completely hollow, supported only by load-bearing columns. There is a huge scientific research laboratory underneath, and in the center of the laboratory is a giant computer that is tens of meters high.

Hundreds of researchers are in the lab, some are typing code, some are testing experimental data...

Yi Xingchen listened to the virtual device beside him reporting the detailed progress of the current human life virtual technology project.

Virtual equipment: "The current scientific and technological virtual technology has reached 56% progress. It is estimated that within two months, a new supercomputer can be produced. The computing power of the new generation of computers is faster than the previous generation, and the speed can be increased by at least 50%."

Yi Xingchen was different from the smiling face he always had at school, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze. Here he seemed to have changed his face, perhaps because he was facing a robot without any emotions, so he didn't need to waste any emotional disguise.

Yi Xingchen nodded indifferently and said, "Okay, I hope to see the results as soon as possible. This computer is very important to us."

The virtual device can simulate all normal human reactions. It nodded, and then followed Yi Xingchen step by step forward.

Yi Xingchen also came to the laboratory downstairs, and all the researchers were not surprised to see Yi Xingchen coming.

When Professor Bi, the chief director of the laboratory, saw Yi Xingchen coming, his eyes lit up and he raised his hand to call Yi Xingchen over.

"Xingchen, you're finally here. This lab can't do without you for a day."

Yi Xingchen had a faint smile on his face. Professor Bi was also familiar with Yi Xingchen's silence in the laboratory. He took Yi Xingchen to the side of the laboratory, passed through a corridor, and came to another laboratory.

The suspended metal ball recognized Professor Bi's iris and then opened the door.

What is presented inside is a science fiction world that countless ordinary people outside may never be able to experience in their lifetime.

The entire space is still made of fully transparent bulletproof glass, but the environment outside the space is unimaginable——

It's a whole field of stars.

This is the MEL-probe launched by Star Technology and the Ministry of Defense of the Sky Nation outside an unknown star region.

At this time, the scene projected outside the space is processed by a giant computer and converted into a visualized scene that is presented outside the glass.

Yi Xingchen was standing at the innermost end of the laboratory, where the MEL-detector's operating instrument was located. Hundreds of buttons could control the movement of the MEL-detector.

However, the computing power of current computers is still too slow, resulting in that even if the MEL-detector is moved, it will take more than a month for the MEL-detector to respond before receiving the instructions.

This is already the fastest speed among the ever-changing computers, but with a new generation of computers, the response time of the MEL-detector can be shortened by half again, greatly increasing their exploration progress in the star field.

Yi Xingchen smiled and nodded. Dr. Bi looked at Yi Xingchen, who was still a high school student.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that true genius knows no age. Yi Xingchen showed strong mathematical calculation ability when he was a child. It seemed that he didn't need to study much and he was able to understand the conditions for the establishment of each formula. Now he can even participate in the senior management of Xingchen Technology Laboratory and calculate data with them.

If Yi Hongwen and Ye Jingxian had not hoped that Yi Xingchen would have a normal growth trajectory, Yi Xingchen might not have been studying at Masoorie High School now, but would have come to the laboratory to study with him.

What a terrible future!

Professor Bi is already over 50 years old and has very little hair left, with only a few strands of silver-white hair on his shiny forehead.

Professor Bi smiled as he looked at Yi Xingchen at the operating table.

He just moved a few buttons randomly and then did nothing else.

Professor Bi didn't say much. He had doubted Yi Xingchen's ability before, but when Yi Xingchen took out a few sheets of paper with written calculation formulas, he fell silent after reading them.

He then handed over the main operation of the operating instrument to Yi Xingchen, and he mainly assisted Yi Xingchen in doing some other preparatory work.

For example, the succession of supercomputers.

...

After leaving the laboratory base, Yi Xingchen saw the blue sky outside the house and inexplicably felt as if he had come to another world.

Yi Xingchen was sitting in the car when suddenly the cell phone in his pocket rang.

There are separate signal jammers in the laboratory, so you can only receive information shortly after coming out.

Yi Xingchen clicked on it and found out that it was the deputy monitor Zhao Hua who sent the program their class would perform at venue No. 2 to the group.

Watching the video of Shi Chenchen and Bai Chulan dancing the home dance on the stage, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, as if he had returned to the day of the 100th anniversary celebration of the school.

It clearly happened just yesterday, but he felt as if it had been a long time.

Yi Xingchen couldn't help but be distracted while listening to Shi Chenchen singing the song that he had collected and played many times in his favorite songs.

It seems like I've heard this song somewhere before.

It's like a song from a dream.

Looking at the cheering atmosphere in the audience, Yi Xingchen could imagine that the scene must have been great, but unfortunately he was trapped in Venue No. 1 and couldn't go to watch it.

He stared blankly at Shi Chenchen performing on the stage, and finally the screen went dark.

The video is over.

Yi Xingchen couldn't help but click on the video and play it again.

After looping several times, Yi Xingchen exited the video interface, looked at Shi Chenchen's reply in the class group, and couldn't help but clicked on her avatar.

Her profile picture was a screenshot of the male and female protagonists of an animated film. She and her classmates went to the cinema to watch it in their spare time.

Yi Xingchen looked at the friend-adding message on the side. Before he could react, a new interface popped up on the phone screen.

[You have sent a friend request, waiting for approval]

Yi Xingchen looked at the friend request and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Yi Xingchen looked at the friend request, tilted his head and pondered, feeling that he seemed a little too deliberate.

then--

Yi Xingchen added all the classmates in the class who had not been added as friends before.
