Chapter 774: Chapter 419: Tear It Down! _2

Discussions spread throughout the school, "What’s going on with the School of Mechanical Engineering’s experiment building?"

"It seems to be the Power Engineering Laboratory, but why are there so many armed police going there? Could it be like the medical institute, where they made some major breakthrough?"

"It’s possible..."

"No matter what you guys say, I don’t believe it. Our college? Power Engineering Laboratory? A significant breakthrough?"

"I’m in there every day, and I’ll be honest with you guys. We’ve collaborated with the biology department to develop a dung beetle control technique that can make tens of thousands of dung beetles work together to provide enough power to run a car."

"This environmentally friendly power source will likely replace oil and electric power in the future and become the mainstream."

"Pfft- Dung beetles? Are you kidding me? Sure, it’s environmentally friendly, but it stinks!"

"Enslaving cute little animals? I’m going to report this to the animal protection association!"

"..."

After the news spread, various opinions arose. Some people made up ’cutting-edge technologies,’ while others claimed that the Power Engineering Laboratory was in trouble or that it would undergo an upgrade and take on national large-scale projects in the future.

And so on.

The last statement was relatively more accurate.

Many professors from the School of Mechanical Engineering began to look forward to it. Like the School of Sciences, the School of Mechanical Engineering also hoped to grow and build a large research and development center.

That way, their research and teaching environment would greatly improve.

Wang Gang held this view.

He didn’t know what exactly happened, and when he inquired about it, everyone said it was confidential. After some thought, he figured it might have something to do with ’research and development upgrades.’ Since the College of Life Sciences was building a medical center and the School of Sciences was building a Mathematical Center, it seemed normal for the School of Mechanical Engineering to build a research center as well, right?

The School of Sciences also had its discussions.

Professors and teachers from the School of Sciences were talking about the Power Laboratory, but most people didn’t know about it and came to ask Professor Zhou Li. However, Zhou Li didn’t inquire about it either, so he didn’t know what happened.

In the office, several teachers talked about it.

Hu Zhibin spoke the loudest, "I heard the School of Mechanical Engineering is going to build a research center with support from the school."

Someone immediately questioned, "That’s impossible, right? Why would building a research center require confidentiality? And why all the armed police?"

"You don’t get it."

Hu Zhibin said, "I hear that they’re building the research center to participate in developing a large-scale project, and there’s some special equipment that needs to be transported over."

"Who did you hear it from?" Zhou Li didn’t quite believe Hu Zhibin’s words.

Hu Zhibin affirmed, "I heard it when I went to the School of Mechanical Engineering. There’s some equipment coming this afternoon. I don’t know what it is, but there are lots of armed police coming to protect it. I wonder if this will continue. Does our school plan to do some important research?"

"The School of Mechanical Engineering sure is lucky!"

"I think it’s probably because our institutes are doing well. They see development at the School of Sciences and the College of Life Sciences, and I heard that higher-ups are paying special attention to our school."

After Hu Zhibin said all this, he suddenly reacted, "Right, does Zhao Yi know about this?"

"Has anyone seen Zhao Yi?"

He dashed out of the office before even finishing his sentence, intending to find Zhao Yi and ask him in detail. Coincidentally, he saw Zhao Yi at the entrance.

Zhao Yi was just about to enter.

Hu Zhibin hastily asked, "Zhao Yi, do you know what’s happening at the School of Mechanical Engineering?"

"School of Mechanical Engineering? I attended Professor Wang Gang’s lecture a few days ago, and it was pretty good."

"Forget about the lecture! You don’t know?"

Hu Zhibin was suddenly invigorated, "There are so many armed police, and they say the School of Mechanical Engineering is building a research center and transporting large-scale equipment... blah, blah, blah..." He finished saying the whole thing as they entered the small office.

Zhao Yi tidied up the documents on the side and put the laptop on the desk away.

Hu Zhibin was puzzled, "What are you doing? Packing? Are you...?"

"Oh."

Zhao Yi nodded, "These are all basic books and materials related to mechanical power, and this laptop is specifically for research in this area."

He then headed out.

Hu Zhibin asked in confusion, "Where are you going?" frёewebnoѵēl.com

"The Power Engineering Laboratory is located in the northwest corner of our campus, right? I think I’ve only been there once." Zhao Yi looked back and said, "Some equipment is being transported there, and I’m going to check it out."

Hu Zhibin stood agape for a long time before catching up and asking, "Didn’t you just say you didn’t know?"

"When did I say that?"

Zhao Yi retorted and left quickly.

Hu Zhibin stood there for a long time, thinking and eventually muttered, "He seemed...not to have said it? But he didn’t say he knew either!" He went back to the office and talked about what just happened.

"Zhao Yi knows!"

"He said there’s equipment being transported. It’s probably for research, right?"

"This matter concerns Zhao Yi, and since it’s confidential, we shouldn’t discuss it privately."

After a long rant, Hu Zhibin concluded ’we shouldn’t discuss it’ while the others in the office were holding back their laughter.

Damn mud!

Why say so much if we can’t discuss it!

Hu Zhibin ignored the people’s mocking. He continued with another topic, "I realized that Zhao Yi’s research is different from ours."

"What’s the difference?"

Zhou Li asked.

"The difference is huge." Hu Zhibin said seriously, "A while ago, I saw him reading basic books on mechanics and power engineering. Now he’s already doing research? And he even got some equipment transported by higher-ups..."
