Chapter 944: Chapter 478 Did I Come to the Wrong Place?_3

This feeling isn’t bad.

Zhao Yi inquired about the installation of the laboratory equipment and learned that it wouldn’t be fully operational until the end of the year. He took the opportunity to visit the Biomedical Research Institute to check on the projects coming into the laboratory. Finding that they were all minor projects focused on mechanisms, he immediately lost interest.

He encountered Dai Tianqing, dressed in formal attire, and asked, "There’s no further research on Tianqing Protein?"

"It’s almost over."

Dai Tianqing said, "Our institute’s follow-up work is mainly researching the properties of Tianqing Protein. Now that the Tianqing Protein medication has hit the market, there is no point in further research."

"Fair enough."

After speaking, Zhao Yi sized up Dai Tianqing and curiously asked, "Why are you dressed so formally?"

"...Ah, this." Dai Tianqing struggled to speak for a while.

Li Ming happened to come by and said with a laugh, "Zhao Yi, didn’t you know? Old Dai went for an interview. The media is incessantly reporting on Tianqing Protein. Once they knew the name came from Dai Tianqing, reporters came to interview him to find out why. They probably wanted to hear a story."

"And then?"

"This shameless old man, Old Dai, claimed that his name was used because he contributed to the discovery of Tianqing Protein... basically, he spouted a load of shameless nonsense." Li Ming scornfully and bluntly criticized.

As Zhao Yi listened to Li Ming, he turned around only to discover that Dai Tianqing had slipped away at some point. He shook his head slightly with a sense of helplessness, "That guy really is..."

"Yeah!"

Li Ming clearly agreed.

Zhao Yi didn’t take the matter to heart, yet that very day an online post emerged, detailing ’Tianqing Protein’ in a very professional and realistic manner.

Tianqing Protein, formally known as the Tianqing Anti-HIV Protein Molecule, abbreviated as ’DTQ-HIV’, was discovered by a research team at the Biomedical Research Institute headed by Zhao Yi; he was also the initial discoverer. Under Zhao Yi’s guidance, the team conducted research on Tianqing Protein.

Therefore, the right to name the newly discovered protein rested entirely in Zhao Yi’s hands. It was due to Dai Tianqing’s suggestion—to pair Zhao Yi’s name with HIV—which led Zhao Yi to decide on the name ’Tianqing Anti-HIV Protein Molecule.’

The whole naming process was a verbal battle, a joke, and only after the name was settled did ’Tianqing Protein’ come into being.

Dai Tianqing’s name was not used because he made significant contributions to the discovery of the protein, but because no one else wanted to associate their name with HIV.

The post was incredibly detailed, even describing conversations from the time, clearly the work of an insider.

That day.

’The Origin of the Name Tianqing Protein’ shot up the online trending charts, not ranking high but certainly gaining significant attention.

Naturally, Dai Tianqing saw the trending topics and his expression turned frightfully dark, but finding out who posted was difficult; the post was made by a new account on a BBS website. The new account held no detailed information, and even the IP address used was via a proxy.

The next day, when he came to the Biomedical Research Institute, he looked at everyone with suspicion, feeling that Li Ming was the most likely suspect.

Dai Tianqing even went directly to Li Ming and demanded, "Li Ming, was it you?"

"What?"

"Was it you who posted?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Me?"

Li Ming looked completely innocent, "What are you talking about? What post? What? I’m not good with the internet."

"...Could it not be?"

After carefully observing Li Ming’s expressions and finding no faults, Dai Tianqing doubted his own judgment, "Could it be Zhao Yi? That seems impossible. Zhao Yi wouldn’t do something like that."

"Could it be Han Hui? That old witch is really cunning!"

"Or..."

The matter eventually remained an unsolved case.

...

Five days later.

Red Wind Industry finally made a move. The technical department organized a meeting, attended by several company leaders.

The technical department explained that Zhao Yi’s electric spindle design was a generation ahead of their current technology, but since the design was theoretical, it needed to be manufactured for verification. Some aspects related to manufacturing couldn’t be shown on the design drawings.

Therefore, they needed to manufacture parts according to the design and continuously make adjustments based on test results. The adjustment process required assistance and guidance from someone who understood the full spectrum of the technology.

"So, that means..."

"We need Academician Zhao?"

Zhou Haoren immediately shook his head after hearing this, "We have detailed technology, can’t we study it ourselves?"

"It would take a long time."

An old director from the technical department said, "We know the technology, but not the principles. If we encounter problems, it would be tough to solve. We must find someone who knows the principles."

This was the crux of the issue.

Just knowing how to do the technical work without understanding why it’s done that way could result in small issues becoming major troubles, especially since it wasn’t their own design. To fully understand the principles would take more time than manufacturing the product itself.

After thinking it over, Zhou Haoren wryly said, "It’s impossible to ask Academician Zhao. Even if he came, it would be for a day or two at most, which wouldn’t be enough. It seems we’ll have to carry out the subsequent testing and adjustments at Yanhua University’s mechanical experiment lab."

Soon after.

Red Wind Industry made a decision.

They sent their top technical team to Yanhua University. Upon arriving at the Laboratory of Mechanical Systems and Vibration, they started inspecting the lab’s equipment. They then swiftly ordered various pieces of equipment, some of which were delivered directly from the factories owned by their conglomerate.

The Laboratory of Mechanical Systems and Vibration underwent a major transformation.

During these days, Zhu Lin went on a business trip to Shencheng High-tech Park and left all affairs in the hands of others. When he returned and entered the lab, he was met with a bustling scene and several large pieces of machinery in the operation room. Stunned, he asked, "Is this... our Laboratory of Mechanical Systems and Vibration?"

"Did I come to the wrong place?"

"How did it change so drastically in just a few days? These people, this equipment... where did they come from?"
