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

With the endorsement of a group of big names, the Xingyan project team was officially established in just one day.

Even the research funding went through a fast track and was quickly approved in just 3 days.

The fact that Lin Chen was the project leader caused some objections when the report was submitted.

The people above initially thought it was a misspelling of the name.

Why is Lin Chen listed as the person in charge?

Lin Chen's name is not among the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

The most famous "Lin Chen" is none other than the genius student Lin Chen.

But how could a college student like him become the project leader?

In the end, it was only after several academicians went directly to the relevant departments and persuaded them with reason that Lin Chen was finally appointed as the person in charge.

This was Lin Chen's first time being in charge of a project team, and he was immediately extremely busy.

Although he obtained the formula for Star Rock this time, there is still a lot of work to be done regarding Star Rock.

First, we need to understand the specific principles behind Star Rock.

Why can mixing certain materials result in a material with superior thermal insulation properties? The underlying principles are clearly of great value to theoretical research in chemistry and materials science.

Secondly, there is the research on the large-scale production of star rock.

The original formula not only had complex processes but also low output. In order to put it into actual use, a method that could be produced on a large scale must be developed.

Finally, there were improvements to the formula.

This was proposed by an academician.

After reviewing Xingyan's recipe, he suggested that some of the ingredients in the original recipe might not actually be necessary, and that it could perhaps be simplified and improved.

That day, Lin Chen was busy when Principal Xu brought Old Wang to visit.

Old Wang was both amused and exasperated by Lin Chen's sudden transformation into a project leader in another discipline, with a group of academicians assisting him.

He didn't care at first that Lin Chen had abandoned mathematics and suddenly went to study another major.

They thought this was just a whim of Lin Chen's before he started preparing to pursue a PhD in mathematics.

After all, judging from the past, Lin Chen has always been an energetic guy who can't stay still for a single day.

Before I went to university, I was preparing for the college entrance examination while also working as an athlete.

After the college entrance exam, I spent a few more months doing art.

So this time, it was probably just a whim of Lin Chen's.

After all, Lin Chen will be starting his doctoral studies in a few months.

As for whether Lin Chen could achieve anything this time, Old Wang never thought about it.

After all, scientific research is not like sports or art, where talent alone can produce results.

But unexpectedly, he actually managed to do something?

Although it is still unknown what Lin Chen is researching in detail, the fact that so many academicians have joined the project team shows that Lin Chen's achievement this time is extraordinary.

Seeing the two people in the corridor outside through the glass window, Lin Chen handed over his work to others, walked out of the laboratory, and led Principal Xu and the others to his temporary office.

"Lin Chen, I brought Mr. Wang here today to see you. Your teacher is really worried now, afraid that you'll never come back after you give up math."

Principal Xu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately turned to Professor Wang and smiled, "Professor, my work here should only keep me busy for the next two or three months. After the start of the next semester, I will still be pursuing my doctorate under your guidance."

"As long as you don't give up on math."

Old Wang smiled and shook his head, his eyes filled with a happy smile.

"By the way, these old men you're dealing with aren't in a good mood. If you can't control them, come find me, I'll back you up!"

"No, the old gentlemen are all very good-tempered, not as terrifying as you described, Mr. Wang," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"That's good. Let's call it a day. Your project is currently classified, so let's not linger any longer."

Old Wang smiled and stood up.

Lin Chen saw the two off from the lab, and seeing that it was almost time for Chen Xiaoxiao to finish her get out of class at noon, he sent her a message.

Soon, the two met in the cafeteria.

This was the first time the two had met in person since the Xingyan project was launched.

While the two ate, Lin Chen explained the recent situation.

Of course, he only said that he had become the head of a project team, but he couldn't say what the specific project was.

"You're really amazing! So many academicians are working for you!"

Chen Xiaoxiao looked proud of her boyfriend.

"What's it like to be in charge?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly and said, "Not so good! Most of our work involves repetitive physical labor. Although those academicians are supposed to be my assistants, they are old enough to be my grandfathers, so I have to do some of the work myself."

This project is highly confidential, and we haven't been able to find any young assistants yet.

At this point, Lin Chen added in his mind: Fortunately, there was another young person in the project team besides him, otherwise he would have been exhausted.

This young man was none other than Wen Xiao, who had been unintentionally drawn into the situation.

Although she is only a junior in college.

However, because Wen Xiao participated in Lin Chen's initial preparation work, the project team specially recruited her as well.

As the person in charge, Lin Chen naturally had many things to do and couldn't spend all his time on repeating experiments.

As one of only two young people in the group, Wen Xiao naturally became the most miserable worker in the project team.

Wen Xiaolai was responsible for almost all of the experimental work.

"Then don't overwork yourself, take good care of yourself. By the way, didn't you know that Lu Han and the others applied for a postponement of their exams? The three of them are busy with company matters in Jinling, and it seems they don't plan to come back to take their final exams."

"Really? You tell me, am I amazing? They're where they are today because of me!"

Lin Chen looked on with a sigh.

Indeed, the influence of role models is enormous.

It seems that Lu Han and the others have also been inspired by his example!

"Yes, yes, you are the best!"

Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded.

After eating and chatting about some trivial matters, the two parted ways.

Soon, Lin Chen hurriedly returned to the laboratory and got busy again.

There is no distinction between day and night in the laboratory.

While Lin Chen was busy with the Xingyan project, the summer vacation had already begun quietly.

Chen Xiaoxiao returned to Donghai with Wang Heming, filled with regret.

Lin Chen was still busy in the laboratory.

But thankfully, the hard work finally bore fruit.

That day, Lin Chen was called out of the laboratory by Qian Runyang.

He led Lin Chen to the project team office next to the laboratory, where they met a middle-aged man in a sharp suit.

"This is Lin Chen."

With a smile in his eyes, Qian Runyang introduced the man to the middle-aged man beside him.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately extended his hand to Lin Chen: "I have long admired your name, Lin Chen. I am Hou Aiguo, the dean of Longke Academy."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Lin Chen quickly grasped their hand and said, "Hello, Dean Hou!"

I go!

The director of Longke Academy?

Why is he here?

Dean Hou seemed to have guessed Lin Chen's doubts, and said with a smile, "Lin Chen, I'm here today to visit. How's the project progressing?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Progress is going well. We have now basically figured out the insulation principle of Star Rock. It mainly relies on carbon foam for insulation, but because it has reached a certain balanced ratio, it has achieved the best insulation effect."

"In addition, with the help of several teachers, we have discovered many useless materials in the original formula. Once the new formula 2.0 is released, the original manufacturing costs and processes can be reduced by more than 30%, and it is only a matter of time before large-scale production is achieved."

"Good! Keep up the good work and strive to achieve results as soon as possible."

Dean Hou nodded with great satisfaction, then exchanged a glance with Qian Runyang, and they both gave each other a knowing smile.

Dean Hou then turned to Lin Chen and said, "Lin Chen, I came here today not only to check on your research progress, but also because there's something else I'd like to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Would you be interested in taking a temporary position at our Longyan Academy of Science and Technology?"

"What position?"

"A minor position... Academician."
