Chapter 13: The Strongest Team in History

  "There are indeed such superior beings in the world, who come and go like the wind, hiding from the world and not asking about worldly affairs." Professor Li's face was full of admiration and shame. "I, Li, am too inferior, I'm afraid that for my whole life, I won't be able to catch up with them!"

  "I was also ashamed at first, thinking that Mr. Lu, who is still young, could design such a profound drawing!" Academician Zhao nodded and said: "Indeed, it's a master! Can Mr. Lu explain this drawing to me? It seems that you are also familiar with this circuit, and maybe we can overcome the local leakage problem of this circuit."

  "No problem!" Lu Xiaoqian picked up the blueprint, and Prof. Li, Academician Zhao, and Sun Wanhong all gathered around. Even Yu Qian and Bai Yanni, who had been silent until now, came over to take a look at what was going on.

  Lu Xiaoqian naturally had no fear, this circuit was designed by him and he could explain it clearly. Even the problem of loopholes in the spiral super-circulation refrigeration circuit was designed by him beforehand.

  Bai Yanni's plan was foiled, she didn't expect that Lu Xiaoqian would have such a powerful friend, and it seemed that Lu Xiaoqian was also very familiar with circuits. The value of this blueprint couldn't be something he stole or robbed from somewhere else.

  While listening to Lu Xiaoqian's professional explanation, Sun Wanming secretly recalled the names of Lu Xiaoqian's friends. To be honest, she didn't know any of them, and she hadn't paid attention to their names before. Now, Lu Xiaoqian was able to talk about this drawing with ease, it seemed that one of his friends had indeed taught him.

  Lu Xiaoqian finished explaining the blueprint in one breath, lit a cigarette on the sofa and took a few puffs, looking at the three people with a confused expression, secretly laughing in his heart. He estimated that Professor Li and Academician Zhao would not be able to solve this difficult problem he designed for a while.

  Professor Li and Academician Zhao were tightly grasping the blueprint, their faces twisted in a mixture of frustration and desperation as they pondered deeply, occasionally exclaiming "good" or letting out a sigh of helplessness. Sun Wanming's brow was also furrowed.

  "What's wrong with them?" Bai Yanni and Li Professor looked at each other in confusion.

  "It'll take them some time to understand such a simple issue, let's give it five more minutes, and things should return to normal." Lu Xiaoqian said with a faint smile after glancing at his watch.

  "Cut!" White Swallow didn't humiliate Lu Xiaoqian in front of outsiders, but rather disdainfully curled her lip.

  Five minutes later, Professor Zhao and Professor Li finally broke free from their state of desperation. The two looked at the blueprint helplessly and said: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your guidance! Unfortunately, it seems that we cannot solve this loophole in the short term. It seems that we can only use the Sea God's Son plan for production for now."

  "Huh!" Sun Wanming's gaze, still deep in thought, suddenly shifted to the coffee table, only to find that the chopsticks that were originally placed on the coffee table had vanished.

  "What's wrong with you, Wanmei?" asked Bai Yanni in confusion, while Professors Li and the other also noticed Sun Wanmei's change and rushed over.

  What was bent into the shape of six or seven chopsticks? A loophole in the circuit diagram! Sun Wanming was overjoyed and speechless. He didn't even think about when the chopstick went missing.

  "Miss Sun, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Professor Zhao looked at Sun Wanming, whose face had turned bright red with excitement.

  "I, I, I think I can fill that gap." Sun Wanming said with some shyness, after all, it takes courage to say this in front of two authorities.

  "What?!" Everyone including Lu Xiaoqian stood up and asked the same question.

  "Really, Wanmei?" asked Bai Yanni excitedly.

  "Well, I'll give it a try." Sun Wanming took a deep breath, pulled out the pen from the pen holder and began to draw on the graph paper. For half a minute, the living room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, with only the sound of the pen scratching against the paper.

  Half a minute later, Sun Wanming let out a breath and put down her pen. "Professor Li, Academician Zhao, can you help me take a look at this?"

  Professor Li's hands trembled as he took the drawings from Sun Wanming, "This! This is simply a masterpiece! A masterpiece!"

  "Awesome!" Zhao exclaimed, snatching the blueprint and slapping his thigh. "How come I didn't think of that?! It's so simple!"

  Two people studied for a while, and Academician Zhao admired: "Mr. Lu, you are really a lucky man, not only do you know Master Cang but also married the intelligent Miss Sun. Take a look at this spiral super-circulating circuit, which was actually improved by Miss Sun."

  Lu Xiaoqian nodded and walked over to take a look at the blueprint, secretly delighted in his heart. Sun Wanjing had indeed plugged up the loophole in the circuit diagram. He exclaimed with joy: "Wanjing, you're really amazing! It seems that this blueprint and the method of making bipolar devices are tailor-made for you!"

  "But? Teacher Zang doesn't know about this yet, so..." Sun Wanming asked with some worry, in her heart, Cai Bingning had already become a god-like existence.

  "Cang Beining is like a good friend to me, he has said that whoever can solve this problem will own the invention. If it weren't for you, Cang Beining, this blueprint would be useless paper. Moreover, even if the bipolar electrical component was invented, it would have no practical use. People like Cang Beining don't care about fame, they only care about whether you succeed or not. Helping him solve this problem is also helping him! Now he's not in the country, we can tell him when he gets back, it's just a matter of getting the results out as soon as possible." What Lu Xiaotian said was right, he and Cang Beining are indeed like two people who get along well.

  "Alright then." Sun Wanming couldn't suppress the joy in her heart. She had solved a problem that even the academicians couldn't, and the result was truly unexpected. Everything seemed to have turned out perfectly. Qing Shuang was safe, Lu Xiaoqian hadn't broken any laws, and she had obtained the complete set of blueprints, which would surely elevate her status. Although all this did involve a bit of luck, Sun Wanming couldn't help but think of that broken chopstick, and she definitely had to find the person responsible for it.

  Lu Xiaqian and Bai Yanni's congratulations are a given, Professor Li and Academician Zhao also beamed with joy as they congratulated Sun Wanhong. The blueprint in Sun Wanhong's hands now made her a figure at the academician level, and the two couldn't help but feel that insight was crucial. Yu Qian, who had been silent until now, also smiled and congratulated them on the birth of another scientist.

  "Mr. Lu, can a dipole really be made? Do you have a finished dipole in your hands?" Academician Zhao couldn't help but ask.

  "There isn't any for now, but making it is no problem. Unfortunately, the materials are not complete at the moment and can't be made." Lu Xiaoqian spread her hands, indicating that a skilled housewife cannot cook without rice.

  "I have an electronics lab at Soochow University, where I have all the materials needed. If something is missing, I can get it immediately." Professor Li said hastily.

  "Oh." Lu Xiaoqian smiled faintly, her expression unreadable.

  "Miss Sun! Mr. Lu! I beg of you, hire me!" Professor Li's attitude changed in an instant, "I don't need your salary, I'm willing to work for free! Just let me participate in the research and development of Spiral Super Circulation and Bipolar!" Professor Li was so moved that he shed a few tears.

  It's not Professor Li who is pretending to be busy, if he participates in the development and research of bipolarity this time, after the successful development of bipolarity, he will at least receive the second prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award. This invention is extremely important for the world, and he will definitely become a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

  Professor Li has been teaching at the school for many years, watching his old classmates and colleagues receive awards one after another, with several becoming academicians. However, he himself has been repeatedly rejected as an academician, dealing a huge blow to his self-esteem. His hometown has never produced an academician, and now that he is nearly fifty, he has attempted countless experimental topics but never succeeded; if he doesn't seize this opportunity, he's afraid he'll have no chance for the rest of his life.

  Academician Zhao took a look at Professor Li and let out a deep sigh. How could he not understand what Professor Li was thinking?

  "Go back and get the lab ready, tomorrow at 8 o'clock, bring all your postdoctoral fellow friends and students, as well as lawyers and a confidentiality agreement for each person to report to my house. And tomorrow I will teach Wanping how to make bipolar." Lu Xiaotian said calmly.

  "Ah?" Professor Li stood still on the spot, everyone stood still on the spot with a look of stupidity in their eyes staring at Lu Xiaoqian. Bipolar and spiral supercirculation can be said to be a great invention, how could it be so casual for others to participate in the research?

  The scene just now indeed stunned everyone present, and almost no one failed to understand Professor Li's feelings. It was the spirit of a researcher's dedication and exploration to research. However, people did not expect that Lu Xiaotian would easily accept Professor Li's request. After all, bipolar and spiral supercirculation were crucial, and it was almost idiotic for someone like Lu Xiaotian to agree so readily to let others participate.

  Lu Xiaoqian said impatiently: "Didn't you understand? Bring a lawyer and a confidentiality agreement to sign with Qing Shuang, bring all the PhDs you can bring!"

  "Alright! Alright!" Professor Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, boasting a little: "At least I can make ten postdoctoral researchers in electronics and returnees sign a contract to work for me!"

  "Refreshing, there are ten postdocs and returnees, oh, and two academicians." Lu Xiaotian muttered to himself, then furrowed his brow.

  "When did Qing Shuang have two academicians?" Sun Wanming was very puzzled.

  "Aren't you and Lao Li going to be in-laws soon?" Lu Xiaoqian smiled lightly.

  "I also want to join the refreshing team! I don't ask for rewards, just as long as when the award nominations come out, my participation in the design is recognized!" Upon seeing Lu Xiaoqian being so easy-going, Zhao Yuan immediately wanted to join as well.

  "Right, three academicians and ten postdoctoral researchers." Lu Xiaoqian continued to mutter to herself, her brow still furrowed.

  "Ha! I can at least bring in 200 PhD students to sign formal work contracts! At least 50 part-time postdoctoral researchers, and at least 10 part-time academicians. All of them will be here within a week."

  Lu Xiaoqian clapped his hands and looked around at the crowd, finally smiling: "Nowadays, Qing Shuang is a powerful team, with 13 academicians, 60 postdoctoral researchers, and more than 200 doctors. Not bad."

  "It's late, let's just leave it for today." Lu Xiaoqian waved his hand and went upstairs.

  "With the spiral super cycle and bipolar, plus the only team in history with thirteen academicians! Qing Shuang will become the world's largest air conditioner manufacturer!" Yu Qian, who had been silent all along, glanced at Lu Xiaoqian's back as she went upstairs and said a seemingly unrelated sentence.

  Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, then looked at the now empty staircase with a thoughtful expression, wondering what they were thinking.
