The truth comes out, I'm your cheat
Chapter 624 The truth comes out, I'm your cheat (4000 words)
"Please concentrate." Xinbao's voice carried a gentle urging.
Hehe, this is the first time it has ever been a teacher to someone else after following Xiaohe for so long!
Novel and fun.
"The assessment includes: fundamentals of crystallography, materials thermodynamics, an introduction to superconductivity theory, and a practical simulation. The time limit is four hours. Your assessment score will determine your role in the project. Let's begin."
On the screen, the image of wheat gradually faded away, replaced by a series of test questions, progressing from basic concepts to cutting-edge deductions.
Those scholars who once worked diligently at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Metal Research, and the Institute of Plasma Physics are now engrossed in their work in front of their screens, their fingers tapping on the keyboards, and fine beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads.
When Zhang Zhihe finished the third major question, he looked up and looked around.
He saw Wang Jianguo frowning as he calculated a complex phase diagram, while Ma Dongmei was rapidly working out a set of formulas on a draft paper.
Everyone's expressions changed from initial confusion and doubt to focus and even excitement.
The exam questions were very novel; they had never seen this type of question before.
They vaguely realized that this project was far more than just developing a new material.
The security personnel at the entrance to the work area stared at the Longyin display screen, remaining silent for a long time.
They were already shocked, but they never expected that the shock brought to them by the Changhong Group Research Institute would go far beyond that!
"That computer... it creates its own questions and grades them itself?!" The young team member's voice tightened.
Team leader Lao Liu swallowed hard, pointed to a corner of the screen, and said with a somber tone, "Look at machine number three. That old professor who does crystallography just got a question wrong, and the screen immediately popped up a prompt animation. It used a 3D animation to demonstrate the correct lattice arrangement..."
The young team members were in a daze. The Dragon Roar LCD screen was already terrifying enough, but this artificial intelligence that called itself Xinbao Wheat was completely beyond their cognitive boundaries.
"No, we can't wait any longer. I have to report to my superiors immediately." Old Liu grabbed the internal phone, dialed two numbers, and then slammed it down.
"what happened?"
“All the electronic devices in this building…” Old Liu glanced at the flashing signal jammer in the corner, “If that smart device can connect to any system, will the phone still be safe?”
The young team member gasped.
Old Liu put on his coat and opened the door: "I'll go to the security office myself. You stay here and record everyone who comes in or out."
The night was as dark as ink, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
The building of the Materials Research Center is like a piece of glowing amber embedded deep in the factory area, and the lights in the third-floor work area are as bright as day.
The sounds of keyboard typing, occasional whispers, and the rustling of flipping through draft paper mingled together as more than thirty figures hunched over their screens, oblivious to the fact that it was already pitch black outside.
Three hours and twenty-nine minutes later, the last researcher submitted his answer sheet.
The wheat image on the screen lit up again, with the ears of wheat swaying gently.
In less than a minute, everyone's personal analysis report popped up on their screens simultaneously.
Zhang Zhihe's eyes widened.
His report was seven pages long, listing not only the scores for each question, but also providing a detailed analysis of his blind spots in superconductivity theory, his habitual biases in experimental operations, and even pointing out that a certain part of the data processing in a paper he published five years ago was not rigorous enough.
[It is recommended to re-examine the conclusions reached at that time.]
"This...how is this possible?" His voice trembled.
Wang Jianguo's report was more specific. His casting experience was systematically identified as an "advantage," but his theoretical depth was insufficient. It was recommended that he be assigned to the process scale-up group and take three additional courses. The report even recommended a learning order and daily time allocation.
Ma Dongmei stared at the screen, her lips slightly parted.
The system not only provided the standard answer to the essay question about magnetic flux pinning that she answered incorrectly, but also used animation to simulate the trajectory of the magnetic flux lines around the defect.
What she couldn't intuitively understand even after three years of doctoral studies suddenly became clear to her, like something that Teacher Xinbao had forcefully imparted to her!
"Everyone, please be quiet." Lin Xiaohe's voice came from the front. "The assessment assignments have been finalized. Zhang Zhihe, Basic Theory Group, responsible for mechanism verification; Wang Jianguo, Process Group, responsible for strip preparation; Ma Dongmei, Cryogenic Systems Group..."
Those whose names were called nodded instinctively, and no one raised any objections.
The report's analytical depth, breadth of knowledge, and targeted recommendations far exceeded the capabilities of any human mentor.
They were completely convinced, even with a hint of awe.
Everyone had only one thought in their minds: their ancestors had accumulated good karma, and they had been chosen to participate in the country's most, most, most, most core secret project in this lifetime. As long as they could succeed, they would be able to offer the first incense at their ancestors' ancestral rites in the future!
Thank you, Director, and thank you, Motherland, for giving them this opportunity!
After the allocation was completed, everyone received a piece of equipment the size of a palm.
The phone has a black body and a smooth LCD screen on the front. A light touch of a finger illuminates the screen, displaying incredibly vibrant colors.
"LCD smartphones, assembled by Changhong itself." The engineer in charge of distribution spoke casually, as if handing out calculators. "Currently, they can only make internal calls, and they have Stardust Wheat's mobile app installed. Everyone's study plans, reference materials, and stage exams are all on it. The data is synchronized to the research institute center in real time, and it will automatically issue a warning if you fall behind in progress."
Ma Dongmei carefully turned the phone over; the back was engraved with the silver logo of Longyin.
She tried pressing the button on the side, and the screen lit up, with the Stardust Wheat icon lying quietly on the home screen.
She clicked on "Today's Learning Tasks," which had already generated a study plan from 8 PM to 11 PM based on the results of the previous assessment, and even included a 15-minute break reminder.
The group exchanged bewildered glances. LCD monitors, AI-powered assessments, smartphones, real-time data systems.
My goodness! While they wouldn't even dare to dream of these things, Changhong Group actually managed to create them quietly!
"Hey! No wonder Changhong Group was able to transform from a small factory into a large conglomerate. They have... technical support behind them!"
"This is truly a grand scheme. That's how commercial technology research and development works; you have to put it into the market to keep improving. Look at this LCD screen—it can be as big or as small as you want!"
"I understand. This is called 'great seclusion in plain sight.' Western countries would never have thought of this. Brilliant! This move is truly ingenious; it even fooled the directors of the three major institutes."
Zhang Zhihe knew what was going on. He was old and his thinking and reaction speed had slowed down, but he was senior and the director couldn't deal with him, so he sent him to the frontier, which the director considered to be his territory.
Little did they know, this frontier was the true frontier, the end of all science on the planet Earth!
Zhang Zhihe's hands trembled uncontrollably as he secretly vowed that even if he only slept for an hour a day, he would stay in the project team and contribute his efforts.
Ma Dongmei shares the same view. She has a long life ahead of her, and with a top professor like Teacher Xinbao guiding her, she firmly believes she can achieve great things in this field.
Of the more than 30 scholars who were transferred, none of them questioned Lin Xiaohe anymore.
The assertions that "it's impossible to produce room-temperature superconducting materials within a year" seem utterly powerless in the face of these groundbreaking scientific research tools. Four days later.
In the conference room of the Central Security Bureau, Lao Liu's report was discussed repeatedly for two whole days.
The director personally reviewed Lin Xiaohe's file.
Aside from investing in Putin, he has no overseas background.
However, Putin's affair caused quite a stir at the time, and the security service conducted an in-depth investigation into the relationship between the two but found nothing unusual.
"It's too smooth," the director frowned. "And too easy. If we had made even one wrong step, we wouldn't have achieved what we have today."
“But we can’t find anything wrong.” The intelligence chief spread his hands. “Everything about her past is documented, with both witness testimonies and physical evidence.”
The director frowned: "What about that AI called Xinbao? And what about those LCD screens and smartphones? Changhong, a TV factory, can produce these things? Even if they have cooperation with Harbin Institute of Technology High-Tech Park, what kind of technical support can they get? Can they hide it from others, and can they hide it from us?"
Chief of Intelligence: "The source of the technology is unknown. However, according to our surveillance, Lin Xiaohe has no record of contact with any foreign forces."
The director remained silent for a long time before saying, "I'll go to the provincial capital myself and see for myself."
He stood up. "Don't notify anyone. Just go straight in when you get there."
Two black sedans silently slid into the Changhong factory area without honking their horns or registering.
The research center's gray-white building appeared austere in the morning mist, with its one-way glass reflecting the leaden-gray sunlight.
After listening to the detailed report from the security officer stationed at the research institute and touring the institute again, the director notified Lin Xiaohe to arrange a meeting in a windowless reception room.
The walls are gray, there is a chair on each side of a long table, and there is only a cup of steaming tea on the table.
When Lin Xiaohe pushed the door open and came in, the director did not get up, but only raised his chin to indicate that she should sit down.
A silence lasted for more than ten seconds, with only the low hum of the air conditioner in the conference room.
The director opened a manila folder, then closed it again, his gaze fixed on Lin Xiaohe's face like a nail: "Who gave you these technologies? Don't say you developed them yourself, I don't believe it. And don't use the excuse of buying them from foreign intelligence groups."
His voice was deep and authoritative: "Comrade Lin Xiaohe, we believe in your loyalty, and we also hope that you will not betray the organization's trust. Let's be honest with each other, okay?"
Lin Xiaohe sat on the table, looking at the director with great attention.
This was the most important person she had ever met, the one closest to the core leadership.
One Heart Treasure was enough to blast him out.
Lin Xiaohe remained calm and composed. From the moment she made up her mind to bring Xinbao into the world, she had anticipated this situation.
"I'm being very honest, but I'm afraid you won't believe me."
The director softened his expression and coaxed, "Of course we believe you. Everything you've done is for the good of the country and the people."
Lin Xiaohe spread her hands: "It's a cheat code for you guys."
Director...
Chief of Intelligence...
Stunned, incredulous, ashamed, angry!
Having worked in this field for so many years, the director has seen people who vehemently deny everything, tell endless lies, and spout nonsense. He thought he would never hear any more outrageous reasons.
Today was truly an eye-opening experience, like a small knife pulling a big hole!
"Ha!" the director roared. "Comrade Lin Xiaohe, please correct your attitude."
Lin Xiaohe didn't even blink, ignoring the director's anger: "Whether you believe it or not, all I can say is that in the next few decades, the world will change at an extremely rapid pace, in a way you can't understand, in a way that is even more brutal than the Cold War, as nations vie for their destiny."
"I know what you were thinking. You wanted to bide your time, spending decades building a global presence. If nothing unexpected happened, you would have succeeded, and your national economy would have taken off. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened."
Reason told the two leaders that what Lin Xiaohe said was simply a fantasy.
But Lin Xiaohe's attitude was so certain, as if it were the truth.
The director took a few quick breaths, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his collar with his right hand, and tried to remain calm as he said, "An accident? Who's the accident? You?"
Or... should we resolve this unexpected situation?
Lin Xiaohe saw through what the director was thinking, but didn't care: "It's not just me, there were also unexpected events in the United States."
The two leaders felt a chill run down their spines and exchanged a knowing glance: "You mean, there's someone like you in America who can conjure up high technology out of thin air?"
"Perhaps. Who knows which path it will lead America down? Don't worry, I hope East Korea becomes the world's number one power."
The meeting room door opened again.
The two leaders watched Lin Xiaohe leave until she could no longer see her figure before they spoke.
"Director, do you believe it?"
The director was speechless: "Do you think I'm senile?"
He rubbed his chin, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in his eyes: "It seems Comrade Lin Xiaohe is hiding a big secret, preferring to say such nonsensical things to keep it from us."
The head of the intelligence department nodded in agreement: "She acts so convincingly, with such conviction, I almost believed her."
The director scratched his head in frustration: "Forget it, since she won't tell us, let's not force her anymore. We just need to strengthen the security of the research institute and Lin Xiaohe. Honestly, these young people nowadays, their minds work so fast, and they can come up with lies so easily."
Meanwhile, Xinbao secretly complained to Lin Xiaohe, "Xiaohe, those two don't believe you."
Lin Xiaohe chuckled: "Let them be, as long as it doesn't interfere with our plans."
Lin Xiaohe looked up at the sky, but the colorful glow of the sunset had disappeared.
Where did that little mouse go? It's so hard to guess.
They've got a cheat code! They've given our motherland a huge cheat code!
