My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

Having understood the importance of this material, Lin Chen naturally didn't want it to rot in his hands.

Star Rock has high application value in both civilian and military applications.

Especially in Chen Xiaoxiao's field of aerospace engineering, it can bring about a revolutionary impact.

However, figuring out how to get it out requires careful consideration.

First of all, although the effects of Star Rock are miraculous, it is actually not difficult to prepare.

After all, this is a material invented by Teacher Tony.

This teacher, Tony, never went to college and has absolutely nothing to do with science.

However, he successfully created Star Rock, the key to which was that the technology required to create Star Rock was actually not difficult.

The process is just very complicated.

To synthesize Star Rock, a total of 21 kinds of organic and inorganic substances are needed.

These organic and inorganic substances need to be prepared through different combinations and different chemical reactions.

The four major chemical reactions—combination reaction, decomposition reaction, displacement reaction, and double displacement reaction—are almost all used.

Some steps require combining several organic compounds to obtain a new substance, and then conducting a new combination reaction.

Some steps involve decomposition reactions followed by further decomposition of the resulting new substances with other new substances.

In short, this process is like cracking a combination lock; every step must be absolutely precise. If one step is wrong, then every step will be wrong, and the whole thing will be wrong.

It's not just the steps; even the dosage for each reaction is strictly controlled. If even a little bit of a certain material is added, the entire process may be wasted.

I wonder what kind of incredible luck Tony had back then to be able to find out the recipe for Star Rock by sheer chance.

No wonder even Americans were alarmed by this formula, yet despite their best efforts, they were still unable to extract the secret of Star Rock from Tony.

Lin Chen now has the complete formula and preparation process for Star Rock, but he can't just take it out directly.

Because the recipe is so complex, there is no way to explain its origin.

Therefore, Lin Chen's plan was to use the guise of studying chemistry to first create a piece of star rock material in the laboratory.

Then, under the guise of obtaining it by chance, the Star Rock formula can be made public in a legitimate way.

This plan is perfectly reasonable and flawless.

While they were pondering, Qian Runyang had already led Lin Chen to a building.

"Lin Chen, this is our laboratory building. Because there are many dangerous chemical materials inside, you need to use an access card to enter and exit each time. Since you want to minor in chemistry, I'll have someone get you an access card in a bit."

As they were talking, Qian Runyang swiped his access card and led Lin Chen into the building.

Seeing this, Lin Chen was once again glad that he had contacted the other party first.

Otherwise, he alone wouldn't even be able to get into this building, let alone prepare star rock on his own.

Upon entering the laboratory building, the vast space is divided into different rooms, each filled with busy figures of students and professors.

Each floor of the laboratory building has different access permissions; generally, undergraduate students can only conduct experiments on the first floor.

The upper floors are for graduate students and doctoral supervisors, while further up are the private laboratories of professors, equipped with more advanced equipment.

However, none of these were problems for Lin Chen.

Although the preparation process of star rock is complex, the materials and equipment required are very common.

Don't forget, the person who invented this thing was a hairdresser named Tony, not some university professor.

He created Star Rock on his own using only a bunch of commercially available chemical equipment.

Therefore, the equipment on the first floor was sufficient for Lin Chen.

After the visit, starting the next day, Lin Chen officially began spending his days in the laboratory building, trying out various chemical experimental equipment in preparation for the formal preparation of star rock.

The birth of Star Rock always needs a suitable reason, and Lin Chen is laying a reasonable foundation for this reason.

That day, Lin Chen had just gotten up and washed up, and was about to go to the laboratory building when he saw three men with panda eyes and haggard faces push open the dormitory door.

The three animals that went to participate in the competition have returned.

"Hey! You're back! How did it go? Are you confident you'll make it to the finals?"

The three people walked in with their heads down, like zombies, and then began to climb onto the bed in a daze.

"Boss, we've been working on this for three days and three nights. We can talk about it when we wake up."

Lu Han lay down on the bed and started snoring.

Chen Hao remained completely silent, as if he were dead.

In the end, Shi Jun insisted, "There shouldn't be any problem, it's just that, boss, I used your insect hive system architecture..."

"It's alright, it's alright. I taught you so you could use it. But did you actually need that thing?"

Lin Chen didn't mind that Lu Han and the others used their own insect hive-conscious artificial intelligence technology in the competition.

Firstly, this thing was actually just a byproduct of Lin Chen's research on the T800's black technology. It might seem high-end to others, but it was actually not worth mentioning.

Secondly, YunTu has very strict restrictions on technology copyrights for this competition. All works will automatically go through the copyright process upon submission, and YunTu will guarantee that all technical patents held by the participants will be protected when they participate.

I'm not afraid of my information being stolen.

"We used it! I never expected that we would stumble upon such a suitable application scenario. Let me tell you, our topic this time is..."

As Shi Jun was speaking, he suddenly fell silent.

Lin Chen looked up at the bed and saw that, to his surprise, the person had fallen asleep while talking.

Lin Chen smiled, turned off the lights for them, and gently closed the door.

I had put in so much effort to carefully guide him, and even brought out the cutting-edge technology of the Hive Consciousness.

If they still don't win the award, they can only blame themselves for being blind.

But Lin Chen had confidence in them.

With a smile, Lin Chen continued to familiarize himself with the laboratory building.

He had recently figured out the class schedules for several classes in the Chemistry Department and planned to attend a few classes with one of them in the lab. Then, he would pretend that he accidentally created Star Rock while conducting an experiment.

This perfectly explains the origin of Star Rock.

Sigh, I really went to great lengths to bring out this cutting-edge technology.

If only I were in a novel, no matter what I did, everyone would think it was perfectly reasonable...

After that, as time went by, the news that Lin Chen had started learning chemistry gradually spread throughout the school.

The news that Lin Chen had started studying chemistry again sparked a considerable discussion on the school forum.

However, this time, most people are not optimistic about Lin Chen's cross-disciplinary learning.

The main reason is that in people's minds, mathematics is more often seen as an important tool used in chemical theoretical modeling and data analysis.

The role of mathematics is even more significant in computational chemistry, a nascent and emerging discipline.

The problem is that Lin Chen doesn't seem to be studying this time; he seems to be playing instead.

Why do you say that?

Many people in the chemistry department were surprised when they learned from this post that Lin Chen was minoring in chemistry.

Wasn't Lin Chen supposed to be minoring in chemistry? Then why have I never seen him in class?

From freshman to senior year, students from different grades and majors in the School of Chemistry went over the accounts together, but they never saw Lin Chen in each other's classes.

After some discussion, everyone realized that although Lin Chen had come, he had never attended a class in the classroom. Instead, he spent all his time in the laboratory building directly auditing everyone's lab classes and doing chemistry experiments with them.

This doesn't seem like they're seriously learning anything; it looks more like they're just having fun with chemistry experiments!
