Xu Yun asked an old acquaintance to make a steel knife, and agreed to deliver it in a week. He had mentioned it when making the copy of Wheat that there were various machine tools on campus at HKUST, so it would not be troublesome to make a knife.
As long as you prepare spring steel plates yourself, you can easily obtain some weapons without using an angle grinder like a cold weapon shop.
At that time, it was even rumored that there was a talented person at HKUST who polished the rifling and other parts by himself, tinkered with a micro punch and fired Skittles in the dormitory...
I don’t know if this is true or not, but since 2005, several machine tools at HKUST that can grind tools have been sealed in the Central District.
However, considering Xu Yun's current status, it is not difficult to make a gadget.
.......
Four days later.
The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Early in the morning.
Xu Yun and his company's assistant Tang Li came to the HKUST campus and met with Tian Liangwei and another middle-aged man in his early forties.
"Xiao Xu, let me introduce you."
Tian Liangwei smiled and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, and said to Xu Yun:
"This is Researcher Chen Yunji. He is currently a researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Academy of Sciences and the founder of Cambrian in China."
Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, then quickly stretched out his hand:
"Researcher Chen, hello, my name is Xu Yun."
Chen Yunji is a middle-aged man who looks very easy-going. He is wearing a plaid shirt and his hair is messy and stuck to his forehead. Hearing this, he smiled and shook hands with Xu Yunyi:
"Dr. Xu, I have heard your name more than once. When I saw you today, you are indeed a young talent."
As the saying goes.
Everyone carries the sedan chair.
Seeing that the other party was so polite, Xu Yun responded with some polite words such as "I have heard the public's name for a long time".
Wait until the two of them finish their greetings.
Tian Liangwei coughed lightly, raised his eyelids to look at Xu Yun, and continued:
"Xiao Xu, Professor Chen and Dr. Lu Xiao are all the proud students of Academician Chen Guoliang. They can be regarded as brothers from the same school."
"It's just that Mr. Chen is now old and has difficulty moving, so he asked Professor Chen to come forward to greet Dr. Lu Xiao on his behalf."
Only then did Xu Yun feel enlightened.
So that's what happened...
He was wondering just now.
Today was the day when Lu Xiao returned to China from across the sea, so he rushed to the University of Science and Technology early in the morning to prepare to go to Xinqiao Airport with Tian Liangwei to pick up someone.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yunji suddenly appeared and almost made him misunderstand that Lu Xiao was about to be intercepted...
After all, Chen Yunji's name is quite famous in HKUST...or in the computer industry across the country.
He was admitted to the Youth Class of the University of Science and Technology at the age of 14, and entered the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the age of 19.
At the age of 24, I graduated with a Ph.D.
Then at the age of 25, he became the chief architect of the 8-core Loongson 3.
At the age of 33, he founded Zhongke Cambrian, known as the first AI chip company...
If such a big shot joins Lu Xiao's fight midway, Xu Yun really doesn't have much confidence that he can beat him.
But now, according to the hints in Tian Liangwei's words, the other party is just accepting customers on behalf of the teacher, and has no idea of "taking love with a knife".
As Tian Liangwei said.
The teacher of Chen Yunji and Lu Xiao is Academician Chen Guoliang. Although this giant in the computer field of the Republic has made great achievements, he is now 85 years old.
It is obviously inappropriate and unrealistic to ask him to pick up people at the airport like Tian Liangwei and Xu Yun.
Then a few people walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the parking lot.
At this time, there were two commercial vehicles waiting here. Tian Liangwei greeted the driver and directly led Xu Yun, Chen Yunji and Tang Li into the car.
Less than half a minute passed.
The two commercial vehicles started their engines and drove out of the gate of the University of Science and Technology.
The distance between HKUST and Luzhou Xinqiao Airport is nearly fifty kilometers, which is actually quite far.
About an hour later.
Xu Yun and others had just arrived outside the airport terminal.
Fortunately, Xinqiao Airport has only one terminal, and T2 is only under planning. It is not as complicated as Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai.
After being busy for about ten minutes, Xu Yun and his party were put into the pick-up hall.
"Dr. Lu Xiao first flew from New York to Incheon and then flew from Incheon to Luzhou. The flight number is..."
Tian Liangwei put the phone in front of him, pulled his glasses slightly down the bridge of his nose, and stared at the screen for a while:
"CA...CA9515, arrival time should be 9:55 am."
"CA9515..."
Xu Yun looked up at the big screen and quickly found the corresponding flight:
"CA9515 still has forty minutes to land. Including the time to pick up luggage, it will probably take more than an hour at the earliest."
Tian Liangwei nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Although Luzhou is developing rapidly these days, the related supporting facilities of Xinqiao Airport are really hard to describe.
Not to mention it is far from Luzhou Railway Station, and the prices of surrounding hotels are not cheap.
What's even more outrageous is that the various operations inside the airport are also quite speechless.
I don’t know if I have inherited the frugal character of the people in southern Anhui. Xinqiao Airport obviously has a row of check-in counters, but only three or four are open at a time. They are still used by a bunch of airlines.
The security check and pick-up procedures were also extremely congested, and luggage was stuck on the security conveyor belt.
Normally, it takes less than half an hour to pick up a checked baggage, which means you are possessed by the European Emperor...
As an important part of the world-class airport cluster in the Yangtze River Delta, Xinqiao Airport is indeed a bit sorry for the word "international" in its name.
as expected.
After CA9515 shows landing.
Xu Yun and others waited for more than an hour. Several young people, including Xu Yun, took turns holding up several signs. Only then did two figures, one large and one small, dragging suitcases slowly appear at the exit.
The man on the left is about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a silver slim-fitting suit, with a strong build and a Chinese character face.
He has a wisp of beard on his face and a high nose bridge, which makes him look quite upright.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The other smaller figure is a cute little girl of four or five years old.
The little girl was wearing a white dress, with a red bag hanging diagonally on her shoulders, and a...well...green hat on her head.
This pair looks very recognizable, not to mention that Xu Yun and the others have already seen Lu Xiao's photos.
So the moment the two appeared, Xu Yun recognized each other's identity...
That man is Lu Xiao whom he wants to pick up!
But before he could speak, Chen Yunji on the side waved his hand excitedly:
"Senior brother! Senior brother!! Here!!"
The man in the distance was still looking for the pick-up sign. Hearing this, he immediately locked his position. When he saw Chen Yunji, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He whispered to the little girl and walked quickly towards the area where everyone was.
When Xu Yun and others were only five or six meters away.
Lu Xiao left the suitcase and the little girl behind without hesitation, rushed to Chen Yunji's side, and patted him heavily on the shoulder:
"Long time no see, Junior Brother Chen."
The little girl on the side looked at her empty left hand, then at the suitcase next to her that was taller than herself, and a question mark popped up in her eyes:
Rake?
But soon.
The man then thought of the little Lolita a few meters away, held her hand again, and dragged his suitcase to Chen Yunji.
After the two senior brothers finished their greetings.
Chen Yunji took the initiative to move aside, giving the front to Tian Liangwei and Xu Yun, and introduced:
"Brother, let me introduce to you. This is Tian Liangwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and currently the dean of the School of Life Medicine of the University of Science and Technology of China. He is also one of the executive directors of Huadun Biotech."
"The person next to him is Xu Yun, Dr. Xu, the immortal chairman of Huadun Biotech."
"Dean Tian, Dr. Xu, this is my senior brother, Lu Xiao."
Wait until Chen Yunji finishes his introduction.
Lu Xiao's face was filled with enthusiasm, she reached out her hand and said politely:
"Dean Tian, Dr. Xu, I have long admired your name."
The other party's posture was very low. Tian Liangwei and Xu Yun naturally did not put on airs, and shook hands with him politely:
"Welcome home, Dr. Lu."
Although Lu Xiao's joining Huadun Biotech is a "transaction" led by HKUST, both parties need to adapt to the adjustment, and there is still a long way to go.
Judging from the current situation, the attitudes of both parties should be relatively positive.
Then Lu Xiao touched the head of the little girl next to him, with a hint of kindness in his eyes:
"As for this...she is my daughter, Lu Wenjia. She is five years old this year. Her English name is Nico."
Xu Yun and Tian Liangwei also smiled and said hello to Lu Wenjia.
The University of Science and Technology had communicated relevant information before Lu Xiao arrived, and knew that Lu Xiao only brought his daughter with him when he returned to China this time. Unlike his achievements in scientific research, Lu Xiao's marriage was relatively complicated.
Lu Xiao, who is now 43 years old, got married when she was approaching 40 because she was busy with her career. She is a typical middle-aged girl.
After marriage, due to emotional reasons, he and his wife went through the divorce procedures last year, and at the same time took the initiative to obtain custody of their daughter.
Currently, Lu Xiao's wife is also working as a senior executive in a domestic company, but her location is far away in Pengcheng, thousands of kilometers away from Luzhou.
Xu Yun is not easy to comment on this kind of emotional problem between husband and wife. He can only say that every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite.
Lu Wenjia's tutor was obviously very good. After Lu Xiao finished speaking, she said hello sweetly, including everyone's surnames in the greeting:
Then everyone chatted for a while and exchanged some polite words such as "Have you eaten yet?" "Have you eaten on the plane?"
Tian Liangwei then asked the two young men accompanying him to take the suitcases and walk towards the parking lot.
At this point.
The two business cars prepared by the University of Science and Technology and the assistant Tang Li were put to use - the two entourages took suitcases with Tang Li and Lu Wenjia in one of the cars, while Xu Yun and others took the other car.
You can talk about things without feeling crowded at all.
Woo da da——
After everyone was seated, the commercial vehicle quickly started to move.
After departure.
Tian Liangwei in the car handed Lu Xiao a bottle of mineral water and said meaningfully:
"Xiao Lu, can you breathe a sigh of relief now?"
At this time, the people in the car were all his own people, so Lu Xiao was not so defensive when he spoke. He took the mineral water and took a big gulp.
Then he licked the corner of his mouth and said with emotion:
"Yes, I finally came back alive."
"Academician Tian, to tell you the truth, after I agreed to HKUST's 'transaction' plan, I didn't sleep well all night because I was worried that something would happen at some point."
Hear this.
Xu Yun and Chen Yunji on the side also had a trace of heaviness on their faces.
What Lu Xiao said was not a case of persecution paranoia, but a concern based on precedent.
In the past few decades, countless well-known Chinese scientists have unfortunately died in other countries on the eve of their return to China.
The most famous one is Mr. Zhang Shousheng.
1978.
China resumed its college entrance examination. Mr. Zhang Shousheng, who was only 15 years old, signed up for the exam right after graduating from junior high school and was admitted to Fudan University.
After studying at Fudan University for two years in 1980.
Zhang Shousheng went to study abroad.
After several twists and turns, he joined his mentor Yang Lao to engage in research in high-energy physics.
Wait until 2017.
Mr. Zhang Shousheng is already a tenured professor in the Department of Physics, Department of Electronic Engineering and Department of Applied Physics at Stanford University. He has been doing research in the fields of topological insulators, quantum spin Hall effect, spin electronics, high-temperature superconductivity and other fields.
The quantum spin Hall effect proposed by the research team he led in 2006 was named one of the "Top Ten Important Scientific Breakthroughs in the World" in 2007 by Science.
He was also hailed as "the first Chinese scientist most likely to win the Nobel Prize".
April 2017.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Warwick President Yu personally drove Zhang Shoucheng away. This was also the first public contact between the two parties.
September 18.
Zhang Shoucheng won the European Physics Prize. The incremental results of the spin Hall effect mastered by his team are recognized to bring about changes in the world's chips.
On November 28, 2018, his team just announced that it had achieved a phased breakthrough in 5G chips.
November 30, 2018.
Ms. Huawei Meng and Zhang Shoucheng attended a dinner together in Argentina.
The day after the dinner, Zhang Shousheng "jumped off the building" and died.
On the same day, Ms. Meng was arrested.
Then December 3, 2018.
A fire broke out at the Dutch ASML company, which manufactures the world's most advanced lithography machines, and a US$120 million EUV lithography machine ordered by China was destroyed.
A few more days passed.
The cause of death of Mr. Zhang Shousheng was determined to be a case of Yuyu disease, and the case was hastily closed.
Another very famous one is Mr. Ren Wei.
Ren Wei was born in 1982 and is a native of Qiannan. He won first place in the Municipal Mathematical Olympiad competition in Shanghai when he was 5 years old.
1997.
Ren Wei was 15 years old and was admitted to three Ivy League universities at the same time.
Because of his talent in mathematics and the guidance of famous teachers, Ren Wei published more than a dozen papers in authoritative international journals during his Ph.D.
The unique algorithms he developed in computers have great application prospects in the military field.
Early November 2008.
Ren Wei said he wanted to return to China to work and bought a plane ticket.
On the 16th of the same month.
Ren Wei's body was found next to the Rockfield Auditorium, the tallest building in the school.
In addition to Mr. Ren Wei and Mr. Zhang Shousheng, there are too many related examples.
For example, 8:40 on April 21, 2019.
A series of KB attacks occurred in six hotels including the Kingsbury Hotel in Sri Lanka, causing heavy casualties.
It's quite 'accidental'.
At that time, Li Jian and Pan Wenliang, senior engineers of the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Li Dawei, an assistant researcher at the First Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and Wang Liwei, a doctoral candidate, unfortunately died in the incident.
The deaths of these experts almost brought two major scientific research missions in the Indian Ocean and South China Sea to a standstill.
What's puzzling is that.
The NTJ responsible for this incident is just a newly emerged and unknown radical organization.
But how it was able to carefully organize such a large-scale KB attack, the large amount of funds required, and where the arms came from are still unsolved mysteries.
Ends November 26, 2022.
The Chinese scientists who died across the sea and were made public include:
Ren Wei, Xiao Xiang, Zhao Yongfang, Zhang Shousheng, Liu Bing, Wang Peidong, Chen Zhijun, Cheng Zhihong, Li Ying, Li Yuchong and three other characters who are too sensitive to write about.
Without exception, they all died on the eve of their return home.
...
Now luckily.
With some exchange of interests, Lu Xiao successfully returned to the embrace of her motherland.
Think of this.
Xu Yun couldn't help but sigh and stretched out his hand again:
"Dr. Lu, welcome home."
The same four words.
Said in different contexts, the meaning is completely different...
