Chapter 2328: Chapter 2330: Miraculous Deduction
Feng Jun didn’t let the container truck into the mountain gate—it wouldn’t be allowed in the future either, as too many changes are difficult to control.
He actively walked out, and after boarding the container truck, he was a little shocked, "So much... equipment?"
A whole container full of bottles and jars, not only with various elements from the periodic table, but also many synthesized materials—which were already rare, and he had to consider covering his tracks to prevent reverse engineering of their synthesis process.
Don’t think that only Huaxia has reverse engineering, all countries understand this trick, and the scientific research ship that exploded near Malacca by Mai Nation recently fully demonstrates this point.
However, Feng Jun did not expect that this guy would actually bring so much equipment over.
This scholar was quite straightforward, "I’m versed in Yi Numerology and Liu Yao, and when deducing, it’s never a bad thing to be more prepared."
Feng Jun wasn’t very convinced by this: Probably it’s still Beauty Lin who reminded you, right? After all, she also knows my working methods.
But for such matters, seeing through without saying anything is fine, even if Beauty Lin caused him a bit of confusion, it seems that the existence of her and her group is still more beneficial than harmful to him at present.
So he spent an entire day deducing, and it’s truly not an easy task.
The key to synthesized materials is not limited to the ratio of basic materials; temperature, pressure, humidity, and even the size of particles are all quite important, especially since various parameters might change during the synthesis process.
In short, Feng Jun used up the charge of over eighty mobile phones to get the deducing results, taking almost half a day.
Because he prevented others from watching during the deduction, it wasn’t until nightfall that he came out of the container, handed a USB drive to the other party, and said in a weary voice, "It’s all in here, with two versions, military and civilian."
"Two versions?" The prestigious scholar was genuinely shocked; if the other party could deduce half of it in a mere day, he would already live up to the reputation of "metaphysics." If completed within three days, he’d be a master of metaphysics.
But now, not only did he finish it in a day, there are two versions... is this the true power of metaphysics?
"The synthesis processes for the two versions have significant differences," Feng Jun waved his hand, looking exhausted, "Take a look yourself, I’m dead tired and need to go back to rest... Remember your promise to me."
After saying that, he got into the car next to him without looking back and drove back to Luohua Manor in a flash.
After the results were out, Beauty Lin immediately found out. She was quite curious and wanted to understand the specifics.
But her request was mercilessly rejected by the scholar, "There’s no problem with you knowing other things, but this result involves confidentiality and patent issues... Director Lin, please be understanding."
"But you can’t just leave," Beauty Lin wasn’t too happy inside but didn’t force the other party; she merely stated, "When you needed us, you promised so much, and now you back out... can’t you fulfill some of it?"
The scholar was anxious and said he must return immediately to supervise the tests, "Would I dare to renege on my promises to you?"
"Have your assistant conduct the tests," Beauty Lin straightened her face and spoke earnestly, "I’m officially informing you now; we may not need to know the details, but we must know the results first-hand."
"Is that really necessary?" The scholar couldn’t help but complain, "Our unit is so large; do we really need that much sponsorship?"
"You’ve got it wrong," Beauty Lin sternly said, "We must keep jokes appropriate; this has nothing to do with sponsorship. You’re concerned about test results and patents; we’re concerned about the overall assessment of President Feng’s capabilities. Got it?"
"Understood," the scholar immediately apologized upon hearing this, "Sorry, I didn’t think it through enough. Mainly, I didn’t want to leak the progress. Since you have this consideration, I’ll arrange for them to test as soon as possible."
As a research project leader, he surely had comprehensive considerations for controlling external publicity, but when faced with reasons like "national security," he couldn’t refuse.
Then he opened the USB drive to take a look, and after checking for a while, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "This really is... metaphysics."
While exclaiming, he copied a version of the USB and handed it to a young person beside him, "This material is crucial; take it back overnight. I’ll call them to prepare for an all-night experiment."
It seems the material is indeed important, not even daring to send it over the network, and seeing this, Beauty Lin offered, "Since it’s so important, I should arrange for two people to escort it."
The scholar glanced at her, hesitated a bit, and asked, "Is that appropriate?"
He hoped she could send someone to escort them, but he knew too well that these people were beyond his control.
"With just your achievement, of course, it’s not appropriate," Beauty Lin responded frankly, "But since it involves President Feng, it’s only natural for me to arrange for someone to help. Don’t worry; his importance is beyond your imagination."
"I absolutely acknowledge that," the scholar nodded, showing no imbalance.
After arranging for someone to leave with the material, he expressed again, "President Feng is truly amazing. He tackled it from two aspects, assisting me in completing the project deducing."
"Military and civilian, right?" Beauty Lin asked curiously, "What’s specifically impressive about it?"
"Not two types, but two aspects!" The scholar corrected her statement earnestly, "The material ratios are similar, but the processing methods differ greatly. The key is, he used two different catalyst series."
Although Beauty Lin wasn’t from a related professional background, she was taken aback upon hearing this, "Two different... catalyst series?"
"That’s right," the scholar nodded with slight excitement. Though many aspects of his project couldn’t be revealed, describing certain phenomena wasn’t restricted. He was pleased that this lady could understand a little of what he said.
"Different catalyst series, of course, are different ideas. In fact, I originally thought being able to deduce the synthesis process would be good enough, but who would’ve imagined he’d deduce the corresponding catalysts..."
"One moment please," Beauty Lin had to interrupt his excited explanation, "Based on my understanding, getting two reactions quickly with top materials scientists handling it is impossible, right?"
"Of course, it’s impossible!" The scholar, already an expert in the field, confirmed emphatically, "With good luck, one might find a direction... and that’d need quite good luck, which I don’t have."
"So," Beauty Lin interrupted him again, "The credit goes to President Feng’s deducing ability."
"That’s right; he’s an outstanding metaphysics master... Even if the experiment temporarily fails, I’d still think so," the scholar’s face was filled with admiration, "He’s merely a humanities monk, how could he understand materials science? Yet, the solutions he provided are clear and distinct."
He actually wanted to explain how brilliant Feng Jun’s proposal was, but unfortunately, it’s not just a matter of confidentiality—its intricacies could not be comprehended by non-industry experts, even if they were significantly skilled.
Yet, more regrettably, Beauty Lin showed not an ounce of interest in understanding but grabbed her mobile phone and turned away, "In that case, I need to report the situation again."
What are you... the scholar almost choked seeing her reaction, "I say, what exactly are you concerned about?"
Beauty Lin replied without looking back, "My focus is different from yours; didn’t you realize it yet?"
The manufacture of new materials isn’t that fast; even though the assistant returned by midnight the same day, it wasn’t until noon on the third day that a final result was achieved.
As Feng Jun deduced, they successfully developed two materials, entirely different in approach, with identical components but differing properties.
The scholar was presently detained in the Cultural Town, and the sponsorship he promised had already been delivered, but Beauty Lin wouldn’t let him leave, insisting on knowing the test results first-hand.
Yet when the scholar left, he did so smiling—the process was not of importance; what mattered was the project’s breakthrough progress, with only the finishing touches remaining.
However, just as he was about to leave, Beauty Lin solemnly spoke again, "As you leave, I must emphasize one thing."
"No need to say it, I understand," the scholar, in a good mood, even answered promptly, "Remembering the promise to Luohua; don’t worry, no matter who I offend, I wouldn’t dare to disregard President Feng’s words... Yet, material commercialization still requires a process."
"Alright, you’re correct, but this is another priority," Beauty Lin couldn’t help but smile wryly, then she composed herself again, "I must advise you to forget ever coming to Zhengyang, to Luohua... Do you understand?"
"This..." The scholar was at first stunned, then nodded in realization, but eventually, not content, asked, "Yet... is it appropriate for President Feng’s talent to be buried like this? He could actually help many people."
"Do you think I want this?" Beauty Lin sighed softly, answering helplessly, "But you understand too little about him; you don’t even know where his true importance lies."
However, the scholar didn’t get angry at these words; it seemed normal to him. After all, he had only come to Luohua sporadically, how could his understanding of Feng Jun compare to those closely protecting him?
As a scientific researcher, he was very well aware of how terrifyingly beneficial unleashing Feng Jun’s capability could be.
In other words, concealing such ability would result in a massive waste.
He glanced at a not-so-distant Cancer Care Center and tentatively asked, "Is it in... cancer treatment?"
