Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

Chapter 683: Chapter 683: News About the Teacher

In Mo Jingchun’s private laboratory at Candy Science and Technology Park, although he hadn’t been there for just half a month, the lab had already undergone a significant transformation in style.

If Mo Jingchun were in the lab at this moment, he would see White constantly sparking, with sparks flying everywhere.

Compared to humans, artificial intelligence pursues perfection to a greater degree.

On an experimental platform surrounded by three Whites, a 1.2-meter-long mechanical alloy skeleton was being worked on. It utilized a brand new synthetic metal material.

And the height of 1.2 meters was also the optimal solution obtained after Zero’s simulation calculations.

Any taller... wouldn’t look cute anymore.

Indeed, in Zero’s subconscious, cuteness was placed first, a result subtly influenced by Mo Jingchun and Candy.

In the office, Mo Jingchun welcomed an unexpected guest.

Looking at a pile of specialties on the desk that couldn’t be bought on the market, Mo Jingchun said with a smile, "Qin, you came just like that, why bring so many gifts, it’s too courteous."

After taking a sip of the tea poured by Xia Xiaomin, Qin Yuzhu said unceremoniously, "No need to be polite. If you don’t want them, I can take them back."

Mo Jingchun calmly moved all the gift boxes from the desk to under the desk.

Qin Yuzhu, seeing this, pursed her lips and pretended not to notice.

If she really had to take the gifts back, it would be hard to explain.

Inside information: Qin Yuzhu knew that Mo Jingchun would become the youngest academician in the country’s history. If Mo Jingchun hadn’t stopped publishing papers in recent years, and wasn’t so young, he probably would have been elected as an academician long ago.

Of course, there are more complicated reasons involved, not something she can get involved in.

"There’s no reason to come without a problem, let alone bringing so many things. Tell me, how are you planning to fool me this time? If I remember correctly, our Candy Technology hasn’t released any new products recently."

Mo Jingchun curiously asked, "I’m just curious what caught your eye."

Qin Yuzhu ignored the earlier remark.

"White, to be precise, the higher-ups want to order a batch of multifunctional Whites."

"Cough, actually White’s combat capability is truly not as good as your combat robots."

"No, combat capability is just a bonus; this batch of Whites is intended to be transported to the Moon Base to serve the personnel living there long-term."

"They need multifunctional robots with integrated medical, combat, psychological capabilities, and more."

"White is an excellent lab assistant; many researchers in the labs speak highly of White."

"Oh..." Mo Jingchun nodded.

"Then there’s no need for you to come in person. You could have easily called me about this, and in no more than half a month, you could arrange for someone to pick them up."

"Exactly."

Mo Jingchun frowned, momentarily unable to guess Qin Yuzhu’s intentions.

In the pin-drop silent office, Xia Xiaomin sensed the atmosphere and left the room consciously.

Seeing Qin Yuzhu’s somber expression, Mo Jingchun spoke with curiosity, "You can tell me now."

Qin Yuzhu was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then let out a long sigh, delivering news that shocked Mo Jingchun and was hard for him to accept at once.

"Academician Chen is critically ill, and could pass away at any moment. He is currently receiving treatment at the military district hospital."

Mo Jingchun was momentarily stunned, feeling a slight sting in his nose. Last time they parted, Li Qianqian had told him that Professor Chen wasn’t in good health, but he hadn’t expected to hear that he was now critically ill.

"Due to certain special reasons, all news about Academician Chen is currently confidential to the outside world."

"Academician Chen wants to see you."

Mo Jingchun said, somewhat angrily, "You should have called me immediately instead of coming over to tell me in person."

After being pulled out of the president’s office by her brother, Zhou Yaling looked at him with a bewildered expression.

"I have an urgent matter that requires me to leave town for a while. Remember to pick up Candy tonight."

"Three cars are left for you."

Since he was going to visit the professor with Qin Yuzhu accompanying him, there were no significant safety concerns, and there was no need to bring bodyguards along.

Before Zhou Yaling could react, Mo Jingchun left with Qin Yuzhu without taking anything.

"What happened?" Zhou Yaling was utterly confused.

That evening, Mo Jingchun and Qin Yuzhu took a special plane and arrived in Jing City.

Although it was late at night, Jing City was brightly lit.

Without delay, the two headed straight to the military hospital.

At eleven o’clock at night, the distressed Li Qianqian sat in the hallway, staring blankly at the crescent moon in the sky.

A day ago, she had been the professor’s only research student who hadn’t graduated, and today, she officially graduated. But she couldn’t find any joy in it.

Recalling the bits and pieces of conducting research with the professor, what might seem like a dull laboratory life to others, she enjoyed the serenity and focused on her research, immersing herself in her world.

In the intensive care unit, various life support monitoring medical instruments emitted beeping sounds, while on-duty nurses and doctors stood guard around the clock.

Outside the room, armed soldiers stood on guard.

Upon hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Li Qianqian, whose heart had been hanging in suspense, was suddenly pulled back to reality.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Li Qianqian was momentarily stunned; then all kinds of grievances surged, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.

"Senior, how is the professor?"

Seeing his senior silently crying, Mo Jingchun was suddenly flustered, fearing the professor’s condition had worsened?!

After a long time, once her emotions settled, Li Qianqian sadly said, "The professor is resting now."

After a pause, Li Qianqian revealed the truth.

"The professor has about one to two hours of wakefulness per day; other times, he is actually in a state of slumber."

Li Qianqian led Mo Jingchun and Qin Yuzhu into the family rest area.

In the not-so-large rest area, it was empty.

"Where are the professor’s family members?"

Preparing to pour water, Li Qianqian turned around in shock, "You don’t know the professor has always been alone?"

"The professor... never mentioned it to me." Mo Jingchun shook his head.

Earlier, Mo Jingchun found it odd, although it was nighttime, why was Li Qianqian alone guarding here?

Without tea leaves, Li Qianqian only poured two cups of hot water.

"Since I’ve known the professor, he has always been alone, and he never talked about his past."

Feeling the warmth transmitted by the water cup, Li Qianqian reminisced, "In my memory, if the professor wasn’t teaching at school, he was taking me to various research bases for development."

Looking at Mo Jingchun, Li Qianqian earnestly said, "Ever since you got to know him, the person the professor mentioned most often was you."

The professor Chen Xihe and bald senior Li Qianqian
