Autistic genius, a flourishing era of scientific research

July 20th in the Gregorian calendar is exactly May 30th in the lunar calendar, which means it passes right at the end of May. In two days it will be the Great Heat, and the weather will naturally become hotter.

Jiang Yan and his team set off on this day to Country X, the host country of this international competition.

Country X is located in Central Europe and has a mostly temperate continental climate. Its summers are not as hot as in China, but when the temperature is high, it is no less hot than in China.

The Danube River rushes out from the Western Gorge, passing through layers of mountains and plateaus, tumbling down the rocks, overlooking the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and its waves are endless.

This river, which flows through the most countries in the world and is as beautiful as its name, passes through the capital of Country X, known as the "Pearl of the Danube".

After a day's journey, when they arrived in Country X, both Jiang Yan and the other members of the competition team were obviously exhausted from the journey and looked listless, like wilted eggplants.

The Xia team was the last to arrive in Country X, and the envoy from the Xia embassy in Country X came specially to pick them up.

As a country in the socialist camp, the Workers' Party Government of Country X also arranged people to wait for them here warmly.

They even specially arranged for merchants who had learned the Xia language and had gone to Xia State to do business and made some progress after hearing the news two years ago to act as mediators.

The businessman's name was Joseph Ander. He was dressed very formally in a double-breasted suit. As soon as he met the competing team, he greeted them enthusiastically in fluent Xia language. Although his accent had some foreign accent, it was obvious that Joseph's Xia language was very good.

The Workers' Party Headquarters obviously took into consideration the fatigue of the participating teams from the journey and arranged vehicles to pick them up and take them to the accommodation for the competition teams.

As both are socialist countries, there are obviously more vehicles traveling on the streets of Country X than in China, and people's clothes are more colorful. You can also catch a glimpse of some fashionable clothing that has just become popular in China, which has obviously become commonplace here.

I believe that the clothing style here will soon spread to Xia Country.

The teacher leading the competition team this time is Shao Jiangyu, who happens to be a professor at Yulin University. He has simple and capable short hair, wears a pair of square-framed glasses, and has a strong intellectual air.

She was also wearing formal attire, but it didn't look as thick as Joseph's. Shao Jiangyu was wearing a military green Mao suit, which was light and breathable.

In addition to Shao Jiangyu, the university professor who leads the team, there are two other translators in the team. They accompany Shao Jiangyu to communicate with the embassy envoys here and are responsible for properly arranging matters other than this competition.

In fact, Shao Jiangyu was not familiar with these two people at all. She only knew that these two people were not the translators that their mathematics society originally wanted to find.

These two people were arranged by the military.

Although he was a little surprised that the country attached so much importance to this international competition and even sent military personnel to protect them on their way to Country X, Shao Jiangyu still accepted it calmly.

In the car, the officials from Country X enthusiastically talked about their country, introduced its customs and culture, etc. Seeing that it was still early, they specifically asked the six participating students in the car whether they wanted to go directly to the rest area or stay in the car and let them take everyone for a tour and a brief visit to their country's capital.

Officials from Country X said that the Midsummer Festival in their country had just passed, and if you went to some streets you might still see traces of the bustling Midsummer Festival.

The journey was indeed tiring, but young people always have endless energy. After getting rid of the boring and drowsy journey, the moment they set foot on the land of Country X, several young men in the team were attracted by the unique styles of architecture and street scenes in Country X. Everything they saw was new.

Upon hearing the officials' proposal, they first looked at the team leader, Shao Jiangyu. Shao Jiangyu was not only the team leader, but also the main teacher who trained them in competition exercises after they arrived in Sijiu City. He had great confidence in their abilities.

Jiang Yan, Xia Fei, Liming and Xu Weiran's math abilities were impeccable. Sometimes Shao Jiangyu even felt that they didn't need her as a teacher at all.

The other two, Zhao Xian and Zhao Xin, are also rare talents with strong learning abilities. Especially during the past week of studying with Xia Fei and the others, their progress is visible to the naked eye.

She has lived for so many years, and to be honest, this is the first time she has met so many talented people, all gathered together.

There was no pressure in the competition. If they wanted to have some fun, Shao Jiangyu would not spoil the fun for his students. He looked at them and said:

"Our country and Country X have always pursued democracy, and I won't have the final say. You guys can vote on whether you want to go shopping first or go back and rest."

While speaking, Shao Jiangyu glanced at Jiang Yan.

After getting on the bus, Jiang Yan closed her eyes and rested as usual. She and two translators sat in the back row, and the six students participating in the competition sat in the front two rows.

Jiang Yan was in the middle row, sitting between Li Ming and Xia Fei.

Sitting in the front row were the twins Zhao Xian and Zhao Xin, Xu Weiran, and a businessman named Joseph who squeezed in next to them.

An official from Country X was sitting in the passenger seat. As for the people from the embassy, ​​although they also wanted to sit in the same car with people from their own country, unfortunately the car was too small to accommodate them.

If Joseph hadn't been the translator from Country X, they probably wouldn't have wanted him to get on the bus.

Although there was not much room on the bus, Joseph was obviously very happy to be able to translate for them this time. He enthusiastically introduced the various attractions in the capital, hoping that they would spend more time in the capital and that they would like this city.

After hearing Shao Jiangyu's words, the five people in the car except Jiang Yan started to vote excitedly. Obviously, they were full of energy now and all voted in favor, indicating that they wanted to travel around the city in the car.

They arrived late, and they have a competition tomorrow. After the competition and the results are out, they will leave Country X. The schedule is very tight, mostly for their safety.

So everyone felt that if they didn’t play today, they probably wouldn’t have another chance to play.

Several people were in high spirits, and Joseph, the official and businessman from Country X, was also very happy to see this. They had obviously arranged a route for the Xia Country team to tour in the early morning. They didn't arrange any special itinerary, just taking them around the capital.

Every time they arrived at a scenic spot, he would ask them if they wanted to get off the bus to take a look. There were relatively many people in these places, so even if they wanted to take a look, he would not take them in depth. Instead, Joseph would speak with an accent, imitating the storytelling of a Xia country tape recorder, and tell the local characteristics and historical stories in a rhythmic manner.

There may also be some romantic love stories mixed in.

Jiang Yan did not participate in the voting. These buildings did not seem particularly novel to her, but when everyone got off the bus, Jiang Yan still got off with them.

After all, she needed to get to know the country, and it would be fine to start with the various attractions in the capital.

In the interstellar age, many continents on this planet have undergone tremendous changes and no traces of their original history have been preserved. However, there are videos that have been used to restore the various countries and continental regions through residual image data from ancient times.

But that is something that historians need to pay attention to. Jiang Yan has not paid much attention to it, so naturally he doesn't know what it looks like.

Obviously, this journey lived up to everyone's expectations. Different from the classical atmosphere of the Eastern Xia Kingdom, the spires and round towers, murals and sculptures, and unique Gothic and Baroque elements demonstrate the civilization and glory of the city, or perhaps the development and changes in the course of history, writing the era into the city's style of perfect fusion of simplicity and refinement.

Joseph's stories also revealed a lot of information that Jiang Yan wanted to know, such as information on economy, politics, history, architecture, etc.

Although this information was mixed in with Joseph's vivid and interesting story and did not go into any deeper details, it was enough for Jiang Yan to simply judge the situation of this country by connecting these information together and using his own experience with many forces and small planets in the interstellar era.

It may not be completely accurate, but it is enough to be almost certain.

After this trip to the capital, the five people in the team who wanted to see something new and exciting were all satisfied, and Jiang Yan was also quite satisfied with what she had gained today.

After strolling around for the whole morning, it was getting a little late, so the few of them excitedly returned home and prepared to have dinner.

Someone has arranged this, so the six of them don't have to worry about it.

The competing teams were gathered in a large hotel. After all, they had come from afar and had been strolling around for the entire morning. Although it was new, they had lost their excitement. Now they felt tired again and looked a little listless. The plainclothes officers who had arrived in Country X in advance were among the crowds near the street. They were dressed just like the people on the street. Among them were some people Jiang Yan and the others were familiar with. Although they were disguised, they had seen their disguises before going abroad, so they could recognize them just by looking around.

Especially Si Cizhan and Jiang Xiaowen, who were wearing jackets and chatting aimlessly with people on the street.

To put it in a common saying, they were too familiar with these two people. As long as they were not disguised as old people, they could tell what they were from their backs.

In order to enable them to accurately find the troops abroad and avoid having nowhere to seek help when encountering difficulties, Si Cizhan specially arranged for them to meet several disguised soldiers in the plan.

They all have their own foreign identities.

When they first set foot on this strange land, they were curious and excited, but also a little scared.

After all, they were unfamiliar with the place, and they met the fellow villager in Yuanjiang Commune that day. They left in a hurry, and Jiang Xiaowen did not tell them about the follow-up, so it was not clear whether he was okay or not.

Now that I've had a quick run around and there are familiar people around me, the worry and fear in my heart are gone.

When they arrived at the hotel entrance, several people got out of the car quickly and stood on the street waiting for others.

They could only partially understand the foreign language spoken by these people, but it didn't matter because there were people around who could understand and would translate for them.

The streets were bustling and everything seemed normal, but only Si Cizhan and Jiang Xiaowen, who were guarding them, knew how serious the situation was.

As early as when Jiang Yan and his friends were taking a tour in the morning, the Qitian Spear and the personnel arranged by the National Security Bureau who were responsible for protecting them discovered something was wrong.

Someone had secretly planted scouts in Country X, even before they left, and it was very likely that the arrangements had been made a day or two after the trip to Yuanjiang Commune.

They were unable to get more information from the man, but they were certain that he was an enemy spy and the information of the scientific research team had been leaked.

In addition, they also captured a new spy from the men's line and handed him over to the National Security Bureau for interrogation.

What is more important for them is to prepare for protection operations here.

No one expected that as soon as the scientific research team set foot on the territory of Country X, these people would start to move.

Although they arrived in this country in advance and contacted the embassy to try to identify these potential dangers, it was not their own country after all, and they were unable to do their best in all aspects. They also could not let people know that Xia's special forces had entered Country X, otherwise it would be unacceptable no matter what.

Therefore, their actions can only be carried out secretly away from people from all parties, and this mission has many restrictions.

But as long as these people started to move, they would be able to discover them, so this morning, the people from Qitianzhiqiang also captured many people quietly.

In order to ensure the safety of the scientific research team, they entered the country in batches while Jiang Yan and his team were undergoing competition training.

Due to the development of tourism, there are quite a lot of people from other countries entering and leaving Country X every day, and it is very easy for them to sneak in.

Almost a team is arranged every day, and the players from Qitianzhiqiang and Guoan are all broken up and arranged in this way.

Now Si Cizhan is in charge of all the mobilization.

At this time, Si Ci Zhan was standing by and chatting with Jiang Xiaowen, who was also in disguise, in a foreign language, while at the same time transmitting messages to the people around him through spatial force.

He couldn't help but thank Jiang Yan and the others in his heart for their in-depth exploration of spatial force. In addition to directly transmitting information to others through the spatial force of command ability, Jiang Yan had also figured out a way to use spatial force to explore the surrounding situation before him.

Although Si Ci Zhan was also studying this aspect, he had only vaguely found the threshold and had not yet taken that step. Jiang Yan's guidance was extremely timely for him.

Because of his strong spatial force, he can detect a longer range, so he can determine who is in trouble faster than others, and then arrange for people to get close and be ready to control the other party at any time.

"I brought some candy. Would you like to have one first?" Zhao Xin and Zhao Xian especially liked to squeeze Xia Fei and the others aside and take the seat next to Jiang Yan.

As soon as they got off the car, the two of them came over. They naturally felt tired, and they thought Jiang Yan must be about the same as them. Moreover, after playing for a whole morning, she was also hungry. Zhao Xin took out some candies from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Yan.

"I have some too!" Zhao Xian said as he took out a few.

The two people were holding different kinds of candies, soft candies, hard candies, and candies with fillings, all in various flavors, which could be identified by the sugar coating.

"Don't bother. Yan—Jiang Yan never eats snacks much. You two have some, and I have some too. She usually gives them to Lu Qinghuan."
