Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

The ink and writing on it are visible, as if something has been recorded.

Yang Jianguo's heart skipped a beat. 'Could this be Tesla's secret research manuscripts?'

"I'd like to trade this for something with you."

"Okay." Yang Jianguo nodded in agreement.

The other person was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to take a look at what it is?"

"No need to look at it. If the old man is keeping it so carefully, it must be a good thing."

The old man lowered his head in embarrassment and said after a long while, "Actually, this thing was stolen from a foreigner's bag by my master back then. I don't know what it is, but he said it was a treasure and told me to keep it."

In the future, if we can find someone with a conscience and technical skills, we'll send this thing there.

The old man left, carrying the three-colored duffel bag given to him by Yang Jianguo, filled with food, drink and other necessities, and with 500 yuan in his pocket, he was content to go home.

After years of wandering, penniless, I was too ashamed to go back.

This year, I can finally go home and visit my family.

Looking at the oil paper package on the table, with a square piece of letter paper inside, Yang Jianguo moved the clay stove a little, carefully picked up the letter paper, and tentatively shook it.

It wasn't crispy, and no crumbs fell off.

It was still a little hard to the touch, so Yang Jianguo didn't rush to open it. He held it above the clay stove, about 50 or 60 centimeters away from the steam, letting the steam soften the letter in his hand.

When it became slightly soft, Yang Jianguo quickly removed it and carefully unfolded the letter.

The first thing to do after laying out the paper is to record all the text.

The eyes are like a scanner, clearly imprinting every word, annotation, punctuation mark, and correction into the brain.

Only then did Yang Jianguo begin to consider the meaning of these words.

His calm eyes gradually widened, his expression shifting between bewilderment, surprise, excitement, and panic.

Finally, he slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

'It's confirmed, this Tesla, like myself, definitely has a cheat code.'

After reading what was on the paper, Yang Jianguo was absolutely certain that this person was cheating.

Otherwise, it's really hard to explain how he could have developed such technology in that era, based solely on imagination.

There have been reports that he can 'conjure machines from his imagination'.

Coincidentally, Yang Jianguo can also build 3D models in his mind.

I initially thought the reporter was just making things up to add an air of mystery to Tesla.

Now it seems that he might actually possess some special ability to distort and deceive his brain's neural pathways regarding vision.

Then, he brought the 'mechanical manifestation' before him and allowed himself to freely construct and disassemble it into a finished product.

Chapter 871 Creating a gimmick? Tang Li

"anti-gravity?"

Upon hearing the new topic he mentioned, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

No, Yang Jianguo, you are indeed at the forefront of international standards in electrical engineering and materials science, and are a top expert in the industry.

But you can't suddenly switch fields and go into theoretical physics.

Yes, those who work in applications can't compare to those who work in theory. They're naturally superior because of their ideas and brains, while we're just oxen and horses doing the work.

But what the country lacks right now is cattle and horses; no matter how good the theory is, it's useless without a solid foundation.

Besides, you've gone off to study theory.

What to do with all those projects I have, what kind of mess are they? Who should I hand them over to, and who is capable of handling them?

"What I mean is that we should first establish a research project, attract talent, and then conduct research gradually. This project may take 20 to 30 years to advance, and we can't expect results right now."

"As for me, I will continue my work." Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Yang Jianguo announced new information: "In addition, I will be in charge of a new research and development project, maglev."

-

Monster, you still say you're not after fame and fortune?

“Jianguo, the world of fame and fortune is a mess. We should just focus on doing research. Let those with formal academic backgrounds handle academic matters. Let’s not get involved.”

He tried to persuade the young master, fearing that he might lose his true self because of fame, and that they had finally achieved such a great situation.

Although he received fewer honors.

Within the organization, we have never been shortchanged in terms of treatment and honors. You used to say that some things always have to be done by someone.

“I’m telling you, what nonsense are you thinking? I’m really going to do this.”

"Are you really going to do it? Not just for fame or publicity stunts."

Yang Jianguo was so angry he laughed. "When have you ever seen me do anything like this?"

After hearing what he said, Xiang Shaodong realized what was going on.

Yes!

After working for most of his life, when did he become a boastful and impractical academic?

He's always been a doer, so why are you starting to doubt him?

"Jianguo, this project is really impressive!"

But after thinking it through, Xiang Shaodong was even more confused.

He had absolutely no idea about antigravity, a technology that only existed in science fiction and imagination.

It sounds like a daydream, it just doesn't feel real!

At this point, even the concept of antigravity is vague and lacks a clear logical framework.

You say you want to study it, but what are you going to use to study it?!

Being one step ahead is genius, two steps ahead is prodigy, three steps ahead—

That's a nerve.

"What monster? Don't worry about this. I have my own plans."

Yang Jianguo only briefly mentioned this matter at the meeting and made a record of it, but he already had a plan in mind regarding the specific research and personnel allocation.

With those manuscripts, Yang Jianguo was confident that he could make a breakthrough in magnetic levitation technology in the short term, directly enter the field of practical application, and gradually make it available to the public.

As for antigravity...

As he said before, it's a long-term project. If he can see a breakthrough in it before he closes his eyes, then his life will have been worthwhile.

"Tongwei, dinner's ready."

In the family compound of the directly affiliated government agency, Zhiyi cooked the meal and called out to the outside from the window.

"coming."

"Mom, we're here."

Qi Tongwei and his beloved daughter chased each other as they ran in.

"Look, you've only been out for a few minutes and you're already covered in dust and dirt."

Zhiyi patted the small twig stuck to Mengjie's shoulder and urged her to wash it off quickly.

"look."

Meng Jie didn't rush to wash it. Instead, she opened the hem of her clothes, which she had been holding in her arms, as if presenting a treasure. Inside were a bunch of small, dark fruits with thin, translucent skins.

"what is this?"

Zhiyi curiously picked one up, rubbed it between her fingers, and asked, "Can I eat it?"

"It's edible, it's delicious!" Meng Jie laughed happily. "My dad says it's called a crabapple."

Zhiyi took a bite, and the slightly astringent taste was immediately overwhelmed by the sweetness, followed by a slight sourness.

"Mmm, really good, delicious."

Zhiyi nodded repeatedly, and then took several more.

Seeing this, Meng Jie joked, "Why are you acting like a child? I haven't even had a chance to eat yet!"

"You haven't eaten. Your mouth is all black, and you still haven't eaten."

Hearing her say that, Meng Jie wiped her mouth guiltily, chuckled dryly, put the pear on the table, and ran to the bathroom like the wind to brush her teeth and wash her face.

When she returned after washing up, her parents were already sitting at the table waiting for her, and there were only a few pears left of the fruit she had brought back.

"I like them. I'll ask someone to pick more later. Today I only picked the ones that I could reach at the bottom. The ones at the top are even tastier."

"Your yard is very nice, and there's even fruit for people to eat."

Thinking about the empty space beside her yard, Zhiyi thought, 'When I get back, I'll ask Mom to plant more fruit trees. That way, we can have fresh fruit to eat all year round. Wouldn't that be wonderful?'

"Someone brought it from their hometown to plant, just to try it out, and unexpectedly it actually grew."

Pear trees are very common in the countryside, so it's only because Zhiyi has never lived in the countryside that she finds them so rare.

Like Qi Tongwei, when he was a child, there was no food to eat and he was so hungry that he would go up the mountain to find all kinds of wild fruits and dig wild vegetables.

I'm already tired of eating it.

Now, eating another one would only remind him of how hard he had suffered back then.

"That's good too." Zhiyi thought for a moment and asked, "When you leave, can you bring me one? I'll ask my mom to plant one too."

"Sure, why not?"

Qi Tongwei's smile was forced. The thought of being separated from his wife and children in just a few days made him anything but happy.

"Zhiyi".

"Ah."

Qi Tongwei remained silent for a moment, then told Zhiyi to put down the fruit she was holding. "You want to talk about moving again?"

"Yes."

Despite discussing it many times, she still refused, but Qi Tongwei still wanted her to move in with him and her daughter.

First of all, their research institute has a branch in Handong.

To say that it wouldn't interfere with her work at all would be nonsense, but she can adjust after she comes over and gets used to it.

Secondly, my children will soon be going abroad, and I won't be able to stay with them for many more years.

Qi Tongwei also wanted to spend more time with his daughter and give her more fatherly love in the limited time he had.

Zhiyi could understand his feelings, but she could better carry out her work in the capital.

Working with teachers allows us to access more resources, firsthand information, and the most advanced equipment. We can also discuss with leading colleagues around the world, ensuring we stay at the forefront of this field.

If she were to come to Handong, the information she gathers would be outdated, and the equipment and instruments she uses would not be as readily available.

Most importantly, it's no longer possible to communicate and learn from teachers and tech experts from all over the world as easily as it is now.

Chapter 872 Someone always has to sacrifice, where did this wild chicken come from?

"I agreed."

"real."

Upon hearing her agreement, the first person to get excited was not Qi Tongwei, but rather Meng Jie, who was quietly eating nearby.

The girl's face beamed with joy, revealing just how happy she was. It was a heartfelt celebration, as if she wanted to jump up and spin around the table.

Mom and Dad, we're finally together again!

"Yes, it's true. From now on, we'll live with Dad."

Zhiyi smiled and nodded, even more convinced that she had made the right decision.

This decision was made after much deliberation.
