Chapter 495: Chapter 297 The Importance at a National Level_3

After Zhang Hongtao finished speaking, his serious gaze upon Zhao Yi made him feel somehow inappropriate. The conversation had been about decent research and good dialogues, how did it suddenly escalate to the national level?

However, what the other party said made a lot of sense.

The manufacturing of this kind of plate alloy wasn’t just about creating another type of alloy material, but rather, a highly significant method in the field of materials and alloys. A new, high-end method meant a huge leap in cutting-edge products.

Though he only spoke a few simple words, they pointed directly at the crux of the matter.

These few words were of infinite value.

Such is the way of science.

Like a difficult math problem, the key to solving it may just be a simple turn of thought. Once solved, it seems like nothing, but while unsolved, the problem remains impossible.

The same goes for industrial technologies.

The difficulty of some technology might simply be summed up in a sentence. However, many researchers who have dedicated tons of time and energy can’t figure out the content of this sentence, and thus, there’s no breakthrough in technology.

Zhao Yi felt touched. He suddenly realized that Zhang Hongtao deserved respect. When faced with a major breakthrough, the first thing on Zhang’s mind was the nation and the people who helped him, not personal glory. It was indeed extraordinary.

He took a deep breath, patted Zhang Hongtao on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "I understand.

"Keep it up, Professor Zhang, you will definitely succeed!"

"Thank you!"

The two looked at each other.

Suddenly, Zhang Hongtao said, "I will update you on any progress in the research."

"When that happens, don’t bother treating me to a meal, just send a red envelope!" Zhao Yi joked.

Zhang Hongtao burst into laughter, instantly lightening the atmosphere.

Upon leaving the workspace, Zhao Yi wandered around the materials laboratory, checking out the equipment and the open research content, greeting several researchers. It was an eye-opening experience and he learned quite a bit about material science research.

By noontime, he left Aerospace University.

Zhao Yi had only spent a little time touring the material laboratory at the Aerospace University. He picked up Lin Xiaoqing at the gate of the Political and Legal University and they went out together.

Spending leisure time climbing mountains was a good choice during the weekends.

Trekking amidst lush green hills and stimulating physical exercise.

For an October day, the weather was not sweltering. They climbed to the summit of a more picturesque hill and spent the night in a nearby hotel.

The next morning, waking up to clean, fresh air and having breakfast in the beautiful outdoors lightened up the mood considerably.

Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing were walking along a path by the hotel, which led to a pond filled with goldfish.

From his bag, he took out a piece of bread, crumbled it into crumbs, and tossed them into the water, immediately drawing a large amount of fish to feed.

"Look at all the fish!"

"They’re beautiful!"

Squatting down to observe, Lin Xiaoqing turned to Zhao Yi and asked, "What are you thinking about? You’re so quiet."

"I was wondering, these big fish, are they edible?"

"...Aren’t these ornamental fish?"

Zhao Yi said, "Aside from the fact that they’re not those big-eyed goldfish, without considering the color, they’re not much different from normal fish."

"By the way, Xiaoqing."

He suddenly had a query, "Do you think, do these fishes all have the same number of scales?"

"Not sure, why don’t you count?" Lin Xiaoqing responded, covering her mouth to suppress a laugh.

On the contrary, Zhao Yi didn’t laugh but responded seriously, "The number isn’t the same."

He answered his own question.

This kind of question was enough for the "Causality Law" to provide an answer.

He asked another question, "Why didn’t they evolve to have the same number of scales?"

"..."

Zhao Yi continued to ask and answer his own run of questions, "Probably the same reason why no one knows the exact number of a person’s hair."

"The numbers are not regular, but the directions they grow are quite regular... so..."

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of the ’three-dimensional vibration waveform’ and the ’multidimensional space boundary problem’, and then squatted down in silence.

Noticing Zhao Yi deep in thought, Lin Xiaoqing quietly watched from the side. She found that Zhao Yi looked quite attractive when he was immersed in thoughts, she was even somewhat entranced by him. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

At a certain point.

Zhao Yi suddenly stood up, even lifting his leg forcefully. His face was all scrunched up.

Expectantly, Lin Xiaoqing asked, "Did you figure something out?"

"No..."

Zhao Yi limped a few steps, frustrated, "My leg fell asleep."

"..." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Although Lin Xiaoqing tried hard to keep a straight face, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
