Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 328: Chapter 220: Dog food that’s enough to fill one up!_3

Dai Tianqing immediately shook his head.

Indeed, the people in the institute did envy Zhao Yi for getting a project worth hundreds of thousands, but they also understood what a "castrated" project meant. Without a tremendous stroke of luck and extraordinary circumstances, there would not be enough funding for the project. As a result, applying for such projects would lead to a halt due to insufficient funds, tarnishing one’s research track record.

Zhao Yi exchanged a few words with Dai Tianqing before going to the director’s office with Zhang Wei to apply for a second project.

Yan Xuelin found it strange that Zhao Yi’s lab completed the project so quickly. Initially, Yan thought that letting Zhao Yi apply for a "castrated" project would be good for him as a training exercise and learning experience.

After all, Zhao Yi was a heavyweight researcher in the Biomedical Research Institute’s future.

This was an investment in the future.

However, before they could think about the future, Zhao Yi had already completed the project at record speed.

Yan Xuelin didn’t know how to react, so he could only let Zhao Yi’s lab apply for another project.

Of course, it was still a "castrated" project.

...

Zhao Yi spent a morning at the Biomedical Research Institute, mainly to handle matters related to the lab’s project and help apply for some lab equipment.

Compared to other labs, Zhao Yi’s lab had a rather bleak equipment situation - they didn’t even have an ultra-high precision microscope.

However, such equipment was very expensive, and Yan Xuelin couldn’t directly approve the purchase of new equipment; after all, Zhao Yi’s lab didn’t have any formal researchers yet.

Yan’s stance was, "Let’s keep it like this for now. Once your lab has completed the next project, I’ll consider applying for the purchase of new equipment."

Yan felt that this process would take a long time.

At least two or three years, right?

It’s hard to say what would happen by that time, but as long as Zhao Yi became an official researcher and could independently lead large-scale research projects, it would be worth it for the institute to establish a well-equipped lab for him.

Yan Xuelin did approve the purchase of a few smaller pieces of equipment, costing tens of thousands in total, giving the lab’s equipment a slight upgrade.

After Zhao Yi returned, another matter came knocking on his door.

Terence Tao.

Terence called directly and expressed amazement at Zhao Yi’s three tremor waveform graph theory paper - "Your research is incredible, revealing the reasons why the three-dimensional tremor waveform graph has a more twin prime boundaries."

"I think you shouldn’t publish it; you should continue your in-depth research."

"It doesn’t matter."

Zhao Yi didn’t mind, "My research already has results; the three-dimensional tremor waveform graph is just a conjecture. Unless the Riemann Conjecture is proven, it doesn’t matter even if it’s related to twin primes."

Terence Tao laughed, "Remember the mathematicians’ conference? I told you that I was planning to research twin primes but had not yet found a breakthrough. It looks like I need to start from your three-dimensional tremor waveform graph."

Zhao Yi replied with two words, "Good luck!"

After returning to the dormitory, Zhao Yi and Terence Tao contacted each other online, and Zhao Yi learned the reason for Terence’s call -

Algorithm.

Terence had previously sent files related to digital compression technology, hoping that Zhao could provide a good algorithm to solve new digital compression technology problems.

Terence had resolved the other issues.

After hearing this, Zhao felt rather embarrassed because he hadn’t thoroughly read the file or even understood its specific content.

He had almost forgotten about the whole thing.

If Terence hadn’t called, Zhao would have had to look at the system tasks to remember it.

Oh, that’s right!

There were also system tasks!

Zhao Yi said, "I’ve been studying math lately, and now that I have some free time, I’ll take a look. You’re not in a hurry, are you?"

"Of course not. I just wanted to ask."

Terence replied, "This technology has attracted the attention of many industries. If we can work together to develop it, we can apply for a patent."

"I’m not good at computer algorithms, so I have to rely on you."

In fact.

Terence had also mentioned to his colleagues at the university that, regarding other aspects of the technology, such as the mathematical theory, he had already solved them. Still, the core algorithm’s difficulty was too high. Terence didn’t think his colleagues could handle it – only the world’s top algorithm master or a whole algorithm team might be capable.

If there were others who could provide a reliable, effective arithmetic method, Terence would naturally choose them too.

Zhao Yi also understood that Terence couldn’t do it himself - it was like a project where only one person was asked to help. If they couldn’t pull it off, all the time waiting would be wasted.

This project is quite intriguing.

If it is a technology that covers many fields and you apply for the relevant patents, it would undoubtedly be very valuable. Even if you only get a share, it would definitely be a fortune.

Money...

It’s really attractive!

...

However, Zhao Yi’s desire for money is not as high as one might think.

For example, after talking to Terence Tao, he only looked at the materials for a little while before simply closing them and going to class.

Whether it’s research, work, or anything else, it can’t interfere with enjoying college life.

Life is the most important thing.

Zhao Yi is quite principled. He thought about how he hadn’t seen Lin Xiaoqing for a long time, so he took a bus to the Political and Legal University, intending to visit her there.

Since the beginning of the semester, he had been very busy and hardly had any time to rest. He finally had some free time and felt that he should spend it with his friends, preferably inviting them to his home.

Zhao Yi didn’t inform Lin Xiaoqing in advance. He directly entered the Political and Legal University and then sent her a message, "What are you doing?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Studying."

"Studying on a Saturday? What a diligent girl! Where are you studying?"

"Library?"

"Oh?"

Zhao Yi went straight to the library, but when he arrived at the entrance, he discovered awkwardly... freeωebnovēl.c૦m

He couldn’t get in!

As he hesitated about whether to call, he saw two boys coming out, and one was saying, "Our class’s Lin Xiaoqing is really... very beautiful and amazing!"

"Zhang Minghao gave her flowers, and before he could even speak, she scared him away with a stare... "

"Did you know? Lin Xiaoqing practices Sanda. She exchanged blows with the teacher during her first class, and I saw her from the sidelines. It seemed like she was going easy on the teacher... The teacher even wanted to let her pass the course without attending classes."

"How violent! A rose with thorns made of metal!"

Zhao Yi cursed ’gossip’ under his breath, really typical of the Political and Legal University’s men... Ahem, no generalizations!

"Hey, buddy! Guys!"

Zhao Yi called out to the two, asking, "You know Lin Xiaoqing, right? Can you help me call her?"

"Why don’t you go yourself?"

"I can’t get in."

"Can’t get in?"

The boy on the left hadn’t considered that Zhao Yi was an outsider and thought Zhao Yi was Lin Xiaoqing’s suitor who was too embarrassed to enter the library...

Hahaha...

Pursuing Lin Xiaoqing? This will be fun!

The two boys exchanged glances.

One of them swiftly rushed into the library. After a few minutes, he came running out, followed by a girl with a long braid who walked out with a displeased face.

Then, she saw Zhao Yi.

Her expression changed to a sweet smile in an instant, and she ran over with her arms wide open, seemingly wanting to hug him. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she simply took his hand and asked in a very low voice, "Why are you here? You didn’t even say anything."

"Isn’t it a surprise?"

"Tsk! Boring."

Lin Xiaoqing snorted disdainfully, but the corner of her mouth turning up revealed her mood. She even subconsciously began to gently sway Zhao Yi’s hand.

Her actions and facial expressions could only be described by two words--

Acting cute!

The two boys nearby were stunned.

Wasn’t this supposed to be a show where a guy chases a girl and gets brutally rejected? How did it take a 180-degree turn and suddenly become a scene of flaunting their affection?

The most tragic part was that they had to watch from start to finish, until they felt like burping...
