When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 311: Memory Palace, People from Peking University and Tsinghua University

After saying goodbye to Mr. Yu, Wang Donglai prepared to leave the Great Hall.

For others, this is a good opportunity to make connections, but Wang Donglai doesn't care.

He had this idea in the first place. If Liao Ke and Mr. Yu had not stopped him for a talk, Wang Donglai would have left long ago.

After returning to the hotel, Wang Donglai couldn't wait to open the system panel.

He was extremely curious about this sudden mission.

[Main Quest: The Dawn of Human Civilization! ]

[Task requirements: Players are requested to promote the progress of human civilization with their own strength! ]

[Task reward: unknown! 】

After reading the system task requirements in detail, Wang Donglai's eyes suddenly became profound.

"The dawn of human civilization?"

"And you still want to promote the progress of human civilization by your own strength?"

Muttering to himself, Wang Donglai kept thinking about the principle behind this task.

Why did such a task pop up in the system when I met Mr. Yu?

When I met Mr. Yang before, there was no mission.

So, if I meet Yuan Shennong again, will there be any mission?

This question may seem insignificant, but if it is clarified, Wang Donglai will have a deeper understanding of the system's operating mechanism.

However, after thinking for a while, Wang Donglai still had no clue.

There are too few sample cases to find any regularity.

We can only wait until later and do a few more experiments before we can summarize the rules.

Putting this issue aside, Wang Donglai turned his attention to another issue.

Promote the progress of human civilization?

This concept is a bit too broad. What does it mean to promote the progress of human civilization? The scope is really too large.

As Wang Donglai was thinking this, the system sent out another message.

Technologies that promote the improvement of human productivity and production relations fall into the category of promoting the progress of human civilization.

After thinking about this sentence carefully in his heart, Wang Donglai's expression changed slightly.

At the same time, I also had a general idea of ​​how to complete this task.

……

In the evening, at seven o'clock.

The TV showed images of the science awards conference held during the day.

Along with the broadcast by CCTV, people all over the country knew about the convening of the Science Conference.

However, more people focused their attention on Mr. Yu and the 5 million reward.

Only some people who know and pay attention to Wang Donglai thought of trying to find Wang Donglai's image on TV.

However, in a hall that can accommodate thousands of people, a quick scan of the camera would reveal many people entering the country, and it would be difficult to determine how many people were there in a flash.

In addition, Wang Donglai was sitting in the back row, which was not a good position, so it was naturally difficult to find him on the TV camera.

Anshui County, Siping Town, Wangjia Village.

When the news ended, fireworks shot up into the sky.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The colorful flowers bloom in the night sky, extremely gorgeous.

It was Wang Yanxing who was standing in his own yard, lighting the fireworks, and watching the fireworks bloom in the sky with a smile on his face.

In fact, Wang Yanxing knew it when Wang Donglai won the award.

At that time, even leaders from the county and town came to express their congratulations.

Some people even prepared to set off firecrackers to celebrate, but were stopped by Wang Yanxing.

In rural areas, firecrackers are usually set off whenever something happens, such as going to school, getting married, having a baby, buying a car, etc.

If it were in the past, Wang Yanxing would not have stopped it. Instead, he would have felt happy and proud.

However, as Wang Donglai's achievements grew, Wang Yanxing's mentality changed a lot, so he refused to make mistakes and tactfully rejected the requests of his leaders.

But at this moment, when he actually saw the footage of the Science and Technology Awards Conference on the news and knew that his son was in such a grand meeting, Wang Yanxing couldn't help but take out the fireworks and set them off.

"Why don't we go to Tangdu for the New Year this year?"

After setting off the fireworks, Wang Yanxing looked at Cao Shuxian and said.

Cao Shuxian nodded and said, "Well, let's stay outside more often in the future. It's not good for Donglai to stay in his hometown."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yanxing just sighed softly, but did not refute.

……

At this time, Wang Donglai was chatting with Liao Ke.

Liao Ke came very quickly. He had just made an appointment during the day, and in the evening he brought a middle-aged man with an iron-blooded aura.

"Professor Wang, this is Director Li."

Liao Ke just gave a brief introduction without even saying his name.

Logically speaking, this is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty and contrary to social etiquette.

But Wang Donglai didn't care, because he could see that Liao Ke was a little restrained when facing Director Li.

A soldier who was awarded a gold branch and a gold star was a little restrained when facing another person.

Wang Donglai knew very well what this meant.

"Chief Engineer Liao, Director Li!"

Wang Donglai didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and greeted him.

"Professor Wang, I hope you don't mind my intrusion." When Director Li was not smiling, he looked quite solemn and majestic, but when he started to speak, he became gentle and elegant, revealing his Confucian temperament.

"Director Li, you are too polite. I trust Chief Engineer Liao!"

Wang Donglai answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

At this time, Liao Ke finally spoke: "Professor Wang, Director Li and I came here this time because we have a problem and would like to get some help from you, the drone expert."

"We have paid attention to Galaxy Technology's drone technology, and we also know that most of the technology and design ideas come from Professor Wang, so when we encountered the problem this time, we thought of you first."

"Master Liao, thank you for your compliment. I don't know what the problem is, but if I can help, I will definitely help."

Wang Donglai didn't even think about it and agreed directly, appearing to be extremely straightforward.

"Okay, I was right. We want to design a large drone equipped with lithium-sulfur batteries. Here are some detailed requirements for the altitude, flight speed, and multi-functional modules. Professor Wang, can you take a look? If we want to complete such a drone, how much will it cost?"

As he spoke, Liao Ke subconsciously glanced at Director Li, then took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Wang Donglai.

Wang Donglai pretended that he didn't notice Liao Ke's reaction, took the document and started reading it. After a moment, he said, "The cost of the first model should be around 8,350, the cost of the second model is around 15,700, the cost of the third model is around 36,800, and the cost of the fourth model is around 56,000."

The cost budget given by Wang Donglai also surprised Liao Ke and Director Li.

After a brief surprise, Director Li looked at Wang Donglai, whose face was calm and revealed strong confidence, and suddenly laughed.

"Professor Wang, I have a confidential project about drones. Are you interested?"

After hearing what Director Li said, not only Wang Donglai was stunned, but Liao Ke was also a little surprised.

Wang Donglai reacted quickly. When they met, he could tell from Liao Ke's reaction that Director Li's identity was extraordinary. When he heard what Director Li said, he became more certain of his guess.

So, regarding this confidential project, Wang Donglai thought quickly in his mind and came up with a rough guess.

"A confidential drone project. I think I should have guessed what type of project Director Li is talking about."

Wang Donglai did not directly answer whether he was interested or not, but said that he might have guessed the type of confidential project.

Director Li said with great interest: "Then how about this, let's learn from the ancients and write a word each and see if we are right or wrong?"

"Okay!" Wang Donglai agreed.

Soon, they each wrote a word and opened the pages at the same time.

I only saw Wang Donglai write the word "army", while Director Li wrote the word "war".

Although it was not one word, after seeing the two words, the three people present laughed.

Director Li's smile became more sincere, and he continued, "How about it? Does Professor Wang have any ideas?"

In fact, Wang Donglai had already made a decision in his mind after he guessed it.

If Director Li had invited him earlier, he would probably have accepted it, but he had to ask for it at this time.

So, Wang Donglai pretended to think for a while before saying with a little regret: "Thank you Director Li for your kindness. I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this confidential project in the next year."

In fact, after Director Li invited Wang Donglai, he felt a little regretful and thought he had been a little impulsive.

But this emotion did not last long before he heard Wang Donglai's refusal, and the slight regret immediately turned into confusion and surprise.

As long as Wang Donglai is not a fool, he can roughly guess his identity.

Moreover, Wang Donglai had already guessed the type of confidential project, but still chose to refuse.

For other scientific research workers, such a project is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You should know that this project is personally handled by the national team.

Without some hard power, it is impossible to enter.

The reason why Director Li chose Wang Donglai is because Wang Donglai has proven himself in the field of mathematics, and no one will have any objection if he joins.

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t be so easy.

"Too busy to handle everything? Could it be that Professor Wang is planning to tackle a few more difficult math problems this year?"

Director Li thought about it and came up with this possibility, then asked about it.

Wang Donglai shook his head and said, "Not really."

"Oh, then what does Professor Wang plan to research?" Director Li asked again, intending to get to the bottom of the matter.

Hearing Director Li's question, Wang Donglai thought for a moment and said, "Semiconductor!"

Director Li's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized and said, "Well, I almost forgot that Professor Wang has made great achievements in the Internet field. It is indeed a good choice for him to settle down in the semiconductor industry now."

Liao Ke was watching the conversation between Director Li and Wang Donglai. When he heard this, he knew it was his turn to speak, so he smiled and said, "Director Li, Professor Wang's artificial intelligence medical auxiliary diagnosis system won the second prize of the Progress Award. He is so young, so it is natural for him to want to do more in-depth research. It is normal to have such an idea."

Upon hearing this, Director Li nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Liao Ke took the initiative to talk to Wang Donglai again.

During the conversation, Liao Ke also revealed his true purpose.

It turned out that Galaxy Technology was required to build a drone with special performance, which had very high requirements.

After hearing Liao Ke’s requirements for this drone, Wang Donglai had only one thought in his mind.

"It's clearly just a weapon, but they say it's used to support logistics. That's really my style!"

I complained silently in my heart.

As for Rabbit's style, after it was revealed by later generations, Wang Donglai still had some understanding of it.

Although he complained in his heart, Wang Donglai did not show it on the surface and agreed calmly.

After the conversation, Liao Ke and Director Li left.

Wang Donglai leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and thought.

At the same time, memories of past lives flashed rapidly through his mind.

After obtaining the [Memory Palace], the greatest benefit to Wang Donglai was that through this skill, he could directly transform his memories of his past life into books, recording them in detail in his mind.

Among the books that were transformed from these memories, there were news that he had seen briefly, as well as some news reports that he had accidentally seen while browsing his phone, and so on.

If it weren't for the magical skill of [Memory Palace], these messy and huge memories would be completely useless garbage.

But as the saying goes, garbage is just a resource in the wrong place.

After these junk memories were turned into books, Wang Donglai was able to find the useful information he needed in them anytime and anywhere, avoiding the needle-in-a-haystack search.

Soon, Wang Donglai found the information he needed.

2016, South China Sea!
As soon as this key information came out, Wang Donglai was shocked.

He didn't know about this incident at that time, and even not many people in the country knew about it.

It was not until after 2021 that some news slowly began to spread.

No one has refuted the rumor, and no official has given a response.

But sometimes, there is no denial, no admission, and this attitude proves something.

After revisiting the entire incident in his mind, Wang Donglai immediately made a decision.

"It seems that we still need to devote some energy to drones."

Wang Donglai muttered to himself.

……

The National Awards Conference came to an end, and many scholars and professors who came to the capital also left the capital one after another.

When Wang Donglai was about to return to Tangdu, he was approached by people from Peking University and Tsinghua University.

The person who came from Peking University and Tsinghua University was a vice president, and so was the vice president from Peking University.

It was not known whether it was a coincidence or an appointment, but the two of them found Wang Donglai together.

As soon as they met, the two of them greeted Wang Donglai enthusiastically.

We talked about everything from study to life to academics, and it can be said that we had a very pleasant chat.

In the end, Wang Donglai became a little impatient and took the initiative to ask the two about their purpose.

Then, we knew the purpose of the two men finding Wang Donglai.

It turned out to be...
