Chapter 9, Sun Weixing
Well, I still have a group of old colleagues and friends, all retired professors and scientists from various places. Tonight, I will call them to share the good news that the anti-gravity institution is about to be realized. Perhaps they will be as interested as I am
In fact, it would be more accurate to say that Kele is impressive rather than Li Yi being well-versed. This little fellow has already stored a vast amount of knowledge in its memory, and in addition, it can connect to the Star Network to search for the information it needs at any time
In the machinery factory, the majority of the workers are robust and unrefined, their work is beyond reproach, yet their connections are significantly lacking. Attracting this group of seasoned experts from the scientific community would greatly benefit the development of the machinery factory
However, what Professor Sun envisions is the well-being of the nation and the world, utilizing anti-gravity technology to elevate the technological level of Earth and benefit all of humanity. In this regard, it is evident that Li Yi and his peers are indeed at a different level of thought compared to Professor Sun.
Zhao Kaishan and the Qin brothers both looked at Li Yi, as this anti-gravity device was presented by Li Yi, and the final decision must be made by him
"Li Yi, this is my mentor from when I was pursuing my doctoral degree, Professor Sun Weixing. He was very excited to see your design drawings and insisted on meeting you in person. I couldn't stop him," Qin Yunbao said to Li Yi.
As night fell, Mr. Zhao hosted a dinner for Professor Sun and then promptly escorted him back to the hotel to rest. After a long day of travel, Professor Sun was already quite fatigued
Li Yi understood very well that at Professor Sun's age, what he truly desired was a reputation. The title of Chief Scientific Advisor was far more important to him than wealth. Moreover, the anti-gravity project was a passion of Professor Sun's. For a scientist, engaging in work that one loves is more valuable than anything else.
Li Yi seemed to sense that a large wave of old monsters from the scientific community was slowly approaching
Li Yi was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and said: "Elder, we would be more than happy to have you stay, so there is no need to say 'please'"
"Good! Good! Good!" Sun Weixing exclaimed three times in succession, filled with excitement
Good! Sun Weixing said in a deep voice: "Anyway, I have already retired from school, and I have nothing to do on ordinary days. Being able to witness the creation of the anti-gravity device with my own eyes, even if I were to die, I would have no regrets."
However, I would like to ask you to promise me that in the future, I will be allowed to apply this anti-gravity mechanism to other research. After all, anti-gravity shoes are merely one application of this remarkable magnetic field. I hope that in the near future, high-speed power boats, cars, and airplanes can all be equipped with this anti-gravity device, thereby promoting this technology to greater heights
I hereby formally invite you to join our machinery factory reconstruction plan, appointing you as the Chief Scientific Advisor of the machinery factory
"So it is Professor Sun, please have a seat here, I will make you some tea," Li Yi said with a slight smile
Professor Sun, despite his advanced age, still retains the scholarly spirit of his youth. Upon hearing this, Li Yi, Zhao Kaishan, and the Qin brothers all felt a sense of shame. Li Yi was contemplating ways to earn some money, while Zhao Kaishan and the Qin brothers aimed to restore the former prosperity of the machinery factory, providing a meal for the workers. Their intentions were quite simple.
What Li Yi needs to do is actually very simple, just convey the message from the cola and then restate it.
This world is still inclined to believe in authority. Sun Weixing's words not only benefit production but can also serve as a spokesperson for anti-gravity shoes. Even if he applies for a patent with the Ministry of Science and Technology, his reputation is quite advantageous, and everyone is eager to obtain it.
This situation not only surprised Professor Sun, but also greatly astonished Qin Yunbao, who has known Li Yi since childhood. He had always heard that Li Yi did not perform well academically, so how could he have suddenly become so formidable?
Sun Weixing is a research professor, and the questions he poses can certainly be described as challenging; however, Li Yi responds with composure and fluency.
The knowledge and character of the old professors are undoubtedly commendable. Many of their students now hold important positions, representing an invaluable social resource
Old Master Zhao exclaimed, "Professor Sun, our machinery factory has a weak foundation and many skilled workers, but the only one who truly understands development and research is Qin Yunbao. If you are willing to stay, it would be a tremendous help to us! I wholeheartedly support this!"
It is important to note that Sun Weixing is the mentor of Qin Yunbao. He poses many questions that even Qin Yunbao cannot answer. How is it that Li Yi, who studies martial arts, is so well-versed in electromagnetic physics?
Professor Sun has a very high regard for the design of this anti-gravity mechanism, which further enhances the confidence of Qin Xu, Zhao Kaishan, and their team in producing the anti-gravity shoes
"How did you solve the issue of magnetic field shielding?" Professor Sun asked curiously. "Not only the Earth's magnetic field, but many electronic devices, such as computers, mobile phones, and shortwave radio signals, can also affect the stability of the anti-gravity mechanism"
The so-called tea brewing is nothing more than a bag of Lipton black tea. Fortunately, the advanced tactical school awarded Li Yi a bonus, and he used this money to purchase many essential supplies. Recently, life has become less difficult.
Li Yidao: "It's quite simple. I plan to use physical shielding, as the final product will be a type of anti-gravity shoe, and the anti-gravity mechanism is concealed within the sole. It will suffice to lay a layer of shielding metal around the perimeter of the anti-gravity mechanism."
Sun Weixing is a top scientist who was elected to the Academy of Sciences during the old era, with both academic and social status firmly established. His willingness to join would only benefit the machinery factory, as the introduction of anti-gravity shoes from his mouth would naturally carry more weight than that of Zhao Kaishan or Qin Yunbao.
In addition to being able to speak, Kele possesses a unique skill of transmitting sound through bone vibrations directly to Li Yi's eardrum, allowing others to be unaware of what Kele is saying to Li Yi
Perhaps fearing that Li Yi and the others would become suspicious, Sun Weixing waved his hand and said, "At this point in my life, I no longer seek fame or fortune; I only hope that this continent does not end up like America and Australia, occupied by mutated creatures, allowing children to grow up without fear"
Li Yi smiled and said to Professor Sun: "Elder, your wish is also our wish. To be honest, when America fell, my father and mother were in North America, and those mutated beasts have been my lifelong enemies!"
However, this method of transmitting sound through bone is quite peculiar, causing Li Yi to feel a slight tingling sensation in his arms
The last thing. In the hotel room, Professor Sun said to Li Yi with great seriousness: "I want to stay here and witness how this anti-gravity device is made and how it changes the world! Please make sure to promise me."
In the future, I can work for you for free without any attribution for all research outcomes, as long as you are willing to allow me to continue expanding research based on these results
Zhao Kaishan and Qin Xu, upon hearing that Professor Sun Weixing had arrived in Jinan, also came to Li Yi's home, where the group engaged in a lively discussion together
They are indeed a group of old enthusiasts obsessed with science, each a top elite in their respective fields, with disciples spread across the globe. If we could have them contribute their remaining energy, it would truly be remarkable
Sun Weixing has not yet assumed office, but he has already started considering matters for the machinery factory, proposing to recruit a group of retired professors as consultants. This suggestion is truly excellent.
Professor Sun appears to be nearly seventy years old, yet his demeanor remains as excited as that of a child, full of vitality. He does not mind the simplicity of Li Yi's hospitality and, as soon as he sits down, inquires about the status of the anti-gravity device.
Qin Yunbao did not return from Nanjing alone; he brought back an elderly scholar with gray hair and glasses. Upon arriving at Li Yi's home, the old man immediately took hold of Li Yi's hand and began to scrutinize him from top to bottom.
Sun Weixing obtained the answer he had long desired, appearing quite satisfied. He couldn't help but sigh over Li Yi's identity, considering him a prodigy in the field of technology, and it was truly a pity that he had chosen to pursue martial arts instead.
