Great Power Technology.

Chapter 253 Mountain Climbing ([-])

The simulation is not over yet, and the screen continues to jump.

Ye Zhou found that he was on a road at the moment.

Beside him was a car that had broken down, and at this moment, the sun was scorching hot in the sky.

As the flow of information slowly poured in, he gradually realized his situation.

This is 1983, and he is in Ugly Country.

This highway is the highway from Austin, Texas to New York.

What he has to do now is to go to the University of Rochester in New York to participate in the Fifth International Conference on Quantum Optics.

This conference plays a vital role in the development of quantum technology. It was at this conference that 8 students and scholars from China, who were shocked by the shocking technology, decided to jointly promote the development of quantum optics in China after returning to China. Strategies for subject development.

After that, these eight people returned to China one after another, and in the second year, they convened the first quantum optics conference in China, which is also called the "Langya Conference" in the history of quantum computing development in China.

Since then, domestic quantum optics has gradually been understood, and after falling behind the West for ten years, it has begun to catch up slowly but firmly.

It was a sowing, and he was the seed—the one that was supposed to be there, the ninth seed.

He must attend this meeting, and must use all means to absorb and digest the knowledge about quantum optics discussed at the meeting, and then bring it back to China as much as possible to promote the development of domestic disciplines.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to arrive at the conference site.

Ye Zhou took out the map from the car. From the memory flow, he already knew that he was the only one among the 8 participants who drove 2600 kilometers to the venue. The reason was self-evident.

He can't buy a plane ticket because the airline won't sell it to him.

Ye Zhou sighed and began to read the paper map seriously.

After identifying his location, he found that he was still 36 kilometers away from the next gas station.

Almost all of these 36 kilometers are no-man's land.

The only way is to put the car aside first, then walk to the gas station by yourself, and after finding a maintenance worker, tow the car back for repairs.

In this age without mobile phones, everything is so difficult.

Ye Zhou took out most of the bottle of water from the car and put it in his backpack, then set foot on the road without hesitation.

The sun was blazing, the ground was scorching hot, and the soles of his shoes even began to soften in a short time, giving off an unpleasant rubber smell.

But Ye Zhou didn't stop. He had already activated his mind programming. At this time, his physical fitness had improved qualitatively compared to when he was young, and the effect of his mind programming had also improved simultaneously.

This section of the road has always been uphill.

His mind kept flashing back to the memory fragments injected into him by this memory flow.

"Ye Zhou, take a break, it's already 12 o'clock, and you haven't rested for 16 consecutive hours."

"No, the lab is only open for so long. I'm taking a break now, and I don't know when the next time I'll be queuing up. Come on, help me adjust the position of the lens. I need to record different incident reactions. "

"At what angle?"

"30 degrees, can you read it for me?"

"Okay, leave it to me. Will you go back later?"

"I will. I have to go back. My country raised me and I want to give back to her."

"Student, the library is almost closing time, please pack up your things and leave."

"Ma'am, could you please wait a few more minutes? Please! I have to complete some key proofs today."

"You can come back tomorrow, you know, the library is open every day."

"Ma'am, there is a saying in China, '1 years is too long, just seize the day and night'. My time is too limited, and I can't waste a second."

"Well... Maybe our country would be better if our young people were like you?"

"You guys are good enough, we're not good enough."

"No, I don't agree with that, your country is climbing a mountain and we may already be on our way down."

"Professor, can you please help me to see the latest calculation draft? There is a problem with the data I got, but I can't find where the problem is."

"Ye, you shouldn't torture yourself like this, you know? Your hair has already turned gray a lot, if you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it anymore!"

"Professor, I have no choice. I'm not a smart person, so I can only spend more time."

"No, Yeh, you're a very smart guy—you're just not a genius."

"But all this field needs is genius. Isn't it?"

"No, this field does not need geniuses, what this field needs are persistent climbers. Ye, stay, I will continue to be your mentor, and I will strive for the best resources and the best treatment for you!"

"No, professor, I can't stay. You have a lot of geniuses, but my country doesn't even have a few climbers as you said."

"You know, if you want to go back, it's not that easy."

"I must try. Professor, can we discuss calculus now?"

The scenes in front of Ye Zhou kept interlacing. He could see that the body he simulated was tirelessly absorbing all the knowledge he could absorb every night and every morning.

When he first entered the Austin campus, he once went to the library to bring back a large pile of books. The number of these books was counted by hundreds, and they were stacked on his desk, even exceeding his height.

And in the past three years, he tried to squeeze every minute and every second of his time and every minute of his energy. Starting from the top book, every time he read a book, he To put a little sticker on that book.

Those labels are like climbing flags, marking the path he has traveled.

Not long ago, the last flag was finally planted on the last book, and the mountain had also been reversed from top to bottom in order.

He not only boarded, but also dumped the mountain of books.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou silently pushed the thick glasses on the bridge of his nose.

His lenses were already covered with moisture evaporated from sweat, and within a few seconds after he wiped them off a little, his eyes were completely white again.

So, he simply took off his glasses and trudged forward along the road.

After walking this road for 5 hours, Ye Zhou felt that his body temperature was rising, and even his sanity began to gradually blur.

This is a sign of hyperthermia.

If this continues, he is likely to fall down this road.

Now there is only half a bottle of water left in his hand, and he has to make a choice, whether to use the limited water to cool down his body, or continue to stay to replenish water.

Ye Zhou chose the former.

Even in a dehydrated state, he can still continue for a while, but if the brain continues to heat up, he is likely to have seizures.

Here, no one can save him.

Facts have proved that his choice is correct.

After pouring water on the top of his head three times to cool down, he finally saw the building of the gas station. Then, he exhausted the last energy squeezed out by the effect of mind programming and walked into the gas station. He drank two full liters of ice water before Finally, my body temperature returned to normal.

The salesperson on the side looked at him in surprise and asked:
"Dude, did you come here? From the Highway of Death?"

"...I don't know what the Highway of Death is."

"The direction you're coming from is that this road goes through no man's land, where a lot of people die every year because of vehicle accidents. Dude, how lucky are you, how far did your car break down? Three kilometers ? Five kilometers?"

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"No, it's 36 kilometers."

The maintenance worker at the gas station took Ye Zhou back to the road to repair the old car he rented. After 20 hours of long-distance driving, Ye Zhou arrived in New York.

When he appeared at the meeting that day, his other 8 classmates all cast surprised eyes, and then everyone looked at each other and smiled.

The picture gradually darkened, and Ye Zhou knew that this was another mountain named Qiuzhi, and he climbed to the top again.
