Zhou Guifang directly asked Zhao Yi, "Academician Zhao, do you have any thoughts on the power aspect?"
"...No."
Zhao Yi had been listening on the side and found it all very interesting, but when it came to the power source for the anti-gravity device, he really hadn’t given it much thought.
When conducting anti-gravity experiments previously, the energy had been provided by medium-sized diesel generators. If one wasn’t enough, they’d use ten, and if ten weren’t enough, they would bring in twenty. Compared to the energy source, the experiment itself was what mattered most. As long as the experiments could be carried out, it didn’t matter how the energy was generated.
Zhou Guifang wasn’t disappointed by Zhao Yi’s ’no’; on the contrary, she was a bit excited, and jokingly said, "To think that there’s a question even Academician Zhao doesn’t understand. How rare!"
The others laughed as well.
The impression Zhao Yi had given the domestic academic community was that he seemed to know everything and was an expert in everything. Whatever area of research he engaged in, he could produce top-notch results.
Now, having developed the incredible anti-gravity technology, it seemed to surpass the current level of science by more than a hundred years. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
When they found that there were things even Zhao Yi didn’t understand, they actually found it quite amusing.
Zhao Yi just humbly nodded and didn’t take it to heart. Everyone has things they don’t understand, and there were many. He hadn’t researched nuclear issues, so it was natural that he didn’t understand nuclear reactors or nuclear power.
...
The conference continued in the afternoon.
The conference mainly discussed the application of anti-gravity technology and established some research directions.
For instance, improvements to the design of the anti-gravity devices and studies related to energy and power.
In addition, there were plans to improve research on high-energy light speed in an effort to reduce energy consumption.
And so on.
The conference identified several research directions, but no major projects were put forward. Perhaps that was because there was already an anti-gravity aircraft project team. Even if the core technology had been researched, it would still belong to the anti-gravity aircraft project team.
Even research on constructing aerial fortresses would be the work of the anti-gravity aircraft project team.
Zhao Yi couldn’t find time to relax.
The top leader had directly assigned him to explain anti-gravity technology to several technical experts. Since he wasn’t directly involved in the project, the project team’s technical personnel needed to understand the theoretical issues.
This task gave him a headache; he felt that explaining to others was even more difficult than conducting research himself.
Ruan Wenye was an example.
Ruan Wenye took longer to understand the divine cipher than it had taken to research it.
The current anti-gravity theory and the diffusion effects alone were backed by extremely complex mathematical logic, comparable to the divine ciphers.
If one were to compare, Ruan Wenye was still one of the top theoretical physicists.
The technical experts now involved in the project could all be categorized as technical or engineering personnel. Zhou Guifang was also an academician of the engineering academy. Their capability to understand complex mathematics was undoubtedly no match for Ruan Wenye.
After the afternoon conference, Zhao Yi was sighing in frustration.
He sat down with the top leader and conversed in low voices, unable to restrain his complaint, "It’s just too difficult to explain these theoretical things to others, to let others understand."
"Hahaha~"
The top leader laughed upon hearing this, "I know, it’s difficult. Not everyone has your brain, but if technology and science are to develop, it can’t be just you who understands."
"Sigh~~"
Zhao Yi continued to sigh.
The top leader patted his shoulder and said, "Don’t sigh anymore. When this project achieves results, the country won’t forget your contributions. At that time, a highest-level medal will be awarded to you."
"The Republic... Medal?" Zhao Yi said in surprise, almost reflexively.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"This."
Zhao Yi touched the back of his head. He couldn’t exactly say he was from another time and knew that the Republic Medal representing the highest contribution was about to be established.
He offered an explanation, "The highest level of medals, it ought to have a name like that, shouldn’t it?"
"Your mind is truly incomprehensible!" The top leader said with a rueful smile, "A genius, indeed! To be honest, I envy you."
Zhao Yi just smiled.
His mood was still pretty good; unexpectedly, a bit of grumbling actually earned him a promise.
Although given his contributions, obtaining the highest-level medal would have been quite normal, there was definitely the issue of age. Often, the highest honors were awarded to the elderly who had made great contributions to the country, tantamount to a lifetime affirmation.
How old was he?
To receiving the highest honors now was almost like the country granting him ’immortality’.
...
The meeting ended.
Zhao Yi returned to Yanhua University but he couldn’t relax, as every day he was besieged by several technical experts from the anti-gravity team, especially Academician Zhou Guifang, who would diligently wait for him in the small meeting room at eight every morning, often having the guards hurry Zhao Yi over, much to his annoyance.
This disrupted his normal daily routine. Normally, he would get up after eight o’clock, stroll around the campus, exercise a bit, have breakfast, and start work around ten o’clock.
Now he had to get up at seven, which he found quite depressing.
Zhao Yi only persevered for a few days before he thought of an excellent solution—
Homework!
After each day’s explanation, he would assign a ’homework’ assignment that required careful thought and study. The content of the homework was related to the lecture material, and because the difficulty of the mathematical theory was very high, even very ordinary content required a long time to complete.
After that, Zhao Yi became much freer.
Old Zhou Guifang no longer came early. Sometimes, he even arrived later than others. At over sixty years of age, it was unthinkable that he wouldn’t complete his homework before ’attending class’.
He began to look for all kinds of excuses for being late: saying he was ’getting old’, ’not feeling well’, ’going to the hospital to get medicine’, and even once claiming that Dong Lihua insisted on discussing a design issue with him, which took two hours, leading to his reluctant late arrival.
En route.
To show that he wasn’t lying, he also gave Dong Lihua a good scolding.
Zhao Yi, using the "Law of Cause and Effect," easily knew that Dong Lihua hadn’t called and merely watched Zhou Guifang ’perform’ with a smile.
The old man’s acting was indeed not bad; if one didn’t know he was making excuses, they would join him in criticizing Dong Lihua.
"Poor Dong, you got scolded from hundreds of kilometers away..."
"There’s no helping it!"
"I really can’t expose Academician Zhou for lying. If the old man gets too embarrassed and something goes wrong, that would be quite bad..."
"Alas!"
After relaxing a bit, Zhao Yi also had time to visit the medical center’s laboratory to check the progress of the neuro-transmission research and participate in related experiments.
Coming up with results for this research in a short time was too difficult. Although the research on tactile sensation had been concluded, other areas were still in the ’exploration’ process, meaning experimental trials were underway.
Zhao Yi’s suggestion was for everyone to conduct more experiments without immediately seeking a key research direction. If some discoveries were made from the experiments, they could then conduct targeted research.
This was mainly because the scope of neural research was just too vast.
Studying nerves wasn’t simply about researching how nerve signals were transmitted but also encompassed various aspects of sensory perception, the range of nerve coverage, nerve responses, the anatomy of nerve cells, and so on.
When too many fields were involved, making a choice also became very difficult.
The laboratory had just completed a major breakthrough, so there was no rush to start the next direction immediately. They simply continued with normal experimentation and neural cell research, preparing for the next phase of development.
At the same time.
Zhao Yi also started paying attention to cancer immunotherapy techniques. He was always one to follow through on his words. Saying he was interested in immunotherapy meant he would certainly learn about it and, if possible, engage in research. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
For now, he was just getting a general understanding.
Cancer-related immunotherapy was a high-end medical treatment technology, developed by various medical enterprises.
Simply put, this treatment method utilized the human immune system to combat cancer cells.
If the immune system could recognize and eliminate cancer cells, it would be possible to maximally clear cancer cells from the blood, directly suppressing and treating cancer.
The key to this technology was making the immune system recognize the cancer cells.
So how could this be done?
Zhao Yi immediately thought of ’Tianqing Protein’. ’Tianqing Protein’ could mark the AIDS virus, allowing the immune system to recognize cells containing the AIDS virus as foreign viral cells.
Could there be a simple method to directly mark cancer cells?
