While Lu Xixin was communicating with Chief Engineer Liu, in the large laboratory, a group of old professors and engineers were no longer as nervous and gloomy as before, and they all relaxed.
Some people started making tea, some were reading WeChat, and some were chatting.
There was even an old professor who got a folding bed out of nowhere, covered it with a small blanket and slept soundly.
The engineer on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and patted him: "Old man, let's get over it. This problem hasn't been solved yet?"
The old professor waved his hand: "Don't worry, isn't Xiao Xixin here? Let's wait until she comes over."
The old engineer was helpless: "Then you can't just do nothing. Should you wait for Xixin and let her solve it by herself?"
The old professor took it for granted and even gave the old engineer a look: "Of course we have to wait for Xiao Xin. If there is a problem that even Xiao Xin can't solve, I won't even mention it! Even if you don't eat, drink or sleep, you can't survive."
I couldn't solve it in the past few decades, so I might as well not waste my efforts and take a nap if I have time."
The old engineer choked.
Just listen to the old professor continue: "Ah, this is called self-knowledge!"
The old engineer lowered his head and thought about it:
Don’t tell me, it actually makes some sense!
So, he bumped into the old professor and said, "Hey, point over there and I'll lie down too."
Old Professor: "..." You change your face too quickly. A chameleon is not as fast as you.
Among a group of lazy old men and women, a thin and slender figure looked extremely unique and stood out from the crowd.
Xu Xiuyan sat on a large office chair, staring at the computer in front of him very seriously.
The young man's eyebrows were lowered, his expression was focused, and he had an arrogance that would put others away from thousands of miles away.
Xu Xiuyan is a computer genius. He has been a genius all the way from childhood to college. He skipped a grade in elementary school and was admitted to the Youth Class of the University of Science and Technology of China in his teens. After graduation, he was absorbed into the "Eye of the Sky" project.
He is the youngest among this group of people, he has just turned 20 years old, and he still has the sharpness and unwillingness to admit defeat of a teenager.
"Xiao Xiu, why don't you take a break?" A kind old professor felt sorry for Xu Xiuyan. Because of this problem, the little guy stayed up with them and the old people and hadn't slept well for half a month.
A good-spirited young man with big dark circles under his eyes.
Rest? Xu Xiuyan frowned slightly, with an indifferent expression: "I already have a solution to this problem and am verifying it."
"Don't worry, let's take a rest." The kind old professor didn't care at all, "Xixin will be here soon. When she arrives, we will have a meeting to discuss it."
Xu Xiuyan said nothing, but lowered his eyebrows.
A trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, as light as light smoke.
After a while, he said: "How can you place all your hopes on one person? No matter how powerful she is, she is still a human being, not a god."
The young man's voice was calm, but it contained an invisible coldness.
These days, he has heard the name Lu Xixin in his ears. Everyone is talking about how excellent, smart and powerful she is.
Xu Xiuyan disagreed.
He recognized her achievements in biology and even recognized her ability to win the Lasker Award.
However, biology and computers are two completely unrelated fields, and he does not believe that she can take care of both and reach the top level.
The kind old professor didn't understand the meaning of Xu Xiuyan's words, and still smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Xiu, Xixin is really good. You will know when you see her, and you can ask her to give you some guidance.
"
Guidance?
Xu Xiuyan frowned suddenly, with a chill in his tone that was hard to ignore: "Teacher Chi, you have so much confidence in Lu Xixin, have you ever thought about what if she can't figure it out?"
Professor Chi shook her head blankly. She really never thought that Lu Xixin would not be able to solve it.
At this time, Professor Zheng next to him suddenly laughed loudly and said in a clear tone: "Xiao Xiu is not convinced."
Xu Xiuyan was a little surprised when his thoughts were revealed, and he tilted his head.
Professor Chi finally realized that Xiao Xiu was not convinced by Qi Xixin.
She also laughed and said hello: "Young people should have the energy not to give up easily. Xiao Xiu and Xi Xin are both young geniuses. Xi Xin will come later and you two will have a competition.
.”
Other old professors and engineers were so excited by this proposal that they stopped drinking tea and sleeping. They all came up with ideas and discussed what test questions to ask and how to compete.
These lovely scientists are truly selfless, have pure and broad minds, and always have an encouraging and tolerant attitude towards their younger generations.
While everyone was discussing lively, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened.
The room fell silent for a moment, and all eyes turned to the door.
Faced with so many eyes at once, Mr. Liu, who had always been carefree and casual, couldn't hold it any longer. He was stunned for a long time before he walked in with the computer in his arms and closed the door.
"Why are you the only one?" Professor Zheng couldn't hold himself back and poked his head around to look behind Mr. Liu.
"Don't look at it." Mr. Liu waved his hand, "It's just me, Xixin is not here."
"Why aren't you here?" Even Professor Chi, who had always been slow and kind, was excited and stood up: "Didn't you tell her that we had a problem?"
Chief Engineer Liu nodded: "I told you."
"Then why didn't Asarum come?" Professor Chi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xu Xiuyan was right and even Asarum couldn't solve this problem?
Xu Xiuyan's expression at the back of the crowd remained unchanged. He was neither amused nor excited. He just pursed his lower lip slightly. Ignoring the excitement and panic of everyone, he sat alone in front of the computer, scratching on the paper with a pen, and continued to verify the previous results.
ideas.
The old professor who had been sleeping came forward, frowned, and asked Chief Engineer Liu: "Did you not explain it clearly to Xi Xin? You ask Xiao Xi Xin to come over, and we guys will talk to her carefully."
"Yes, yes." The old engineer behind him worried: "Don't let Xixin be too stressed and don't be discouraged. This problem is indeed quite difficult. Let's discuss it together."
"No, no, you misunderstood." General Engineer Liu had no choice but to walk to the nearest table, carefully put the computer in his hand on it, and opened it: "Xixin has been solved."
…
snap——
The pen in Xu Xiuyan's hand fell to the table.
Suddenly everything fell silent in the laboratory.
After a while, Professor Chi finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "I am old, deaf, and can't hear clearly. Chief engineer, please say it again."
Looking at the dull expressions of these people, Mr. Liu secretly smiled in his heart.
Fortunately, he was not the only one embarrassed.
You must know that when he and Lu Xixin were in the small laboratory just now, his reaction was stupid. He almost fell off the stool. His feet were weak for a long time and he couldn't stand up at all. He held on to the corner of the table to prevent himself from losing his composure.
.
"Solved?" He looked at Lu Xixin blankly.
Lu Xixin nodded and pushed the computer in his hand: "The method is inside."
Chief Engineer Liu was still dumbfounded: "Is it really solved?"
Lu Xixin glanced at him and said nothing.
Chief Engineer Liu patted his face and calmed himself down: "When did you solve it?" It has only been 5 hours since contacting Lu Xixin, and there are still 3 hours on the road.
When did she solve it?
Lu Xixin frowned slightly: "On the way here, I thought about it. This problem is indeed difficult. I have been thinking about it for a long time."
Chief Engineer Liu was completely stunned: "...is three hours considered a long time?"
For the first time, for the first time in his life, Mr. Liu began to doubt his own IQ. He felt that the thing on his neck could not be called a head at all, but could only be called a lump.
