Chen Yuanzhi received the call at eight o'clock in the morning, and the sentence from the other end made his head spin: "Your Xi Gong University has also started a photolithography machine research project? And you're about to achieve results already?"

Look at this question...

Chen Yuanzhi didn't know whether he was still half asleep or whether the guy on the other end was the one who hadn't woken up, but instinctively he objected, "No, we're researching photolithography machines? What kind of international joke is that? Could our university handle that without support from above?" Continue your adventure at empire

"It's not some secret mission that has now been declassified? Then how do you explain the paper in 'Science'?"

"What paper?"

"Just look for yourself, the front page of the 'Science' official website. If that's the case, could it be that your university's Qiao Ze was recently invited to a research institute to help with research, and then carelessly published all their achievements?"

"What are you talking about? Qiao Ze has been working on projects at the university all this time. Did you get it wrong? Before you call, can't you..."

Before Chen Yuanzhi could finish his sentence, the beeping sound indicated another incoming call, so he quickly said, "Alright, I can't talk now, let me go check out the paper you mentioned."

After hanging up that call and answering another, it was the same question: "Chen, this isn't fair... I can understand keeping a project confidential, but not like this, right? I heard you've developed a photolithography factory and new chip technology?"

Chen Yuanzhi: "..."

First thing in the morning, all freaking enigmas.

Moreover, each one was a big shot; he couldn't afford to offend them. But then again, an ordinary person wouldn't likely have his number.

The effect was quite obvious. These nonsensical questions made him start to doubt whether he was still the president of Xi Gong University.

Or perhaps the university had started some project without his knowledge.

As for Qiao Ze, wasn't the kid's previous project about an artificial intelligence platform?

What did photolithography machines and chips have to do with it?

"Wait a minute, I don't quite understand the situation right now. Let me find out more and I'll get back to you!"

Leaving those words behind, Chen Yuanzhi walked briskly into the study, turned on his computer, and quickly located the "Science" journal's official homepage, and the paper credited to Qiao Ze.

Alright, just looking at the title was enough to baffle Chen Yuanzhi, and he immediately picked up the phone to call Zheng Luhua.

"Hello, please don't hang up, the phone you are dialling is in use..."

Chen Yuanzhi pressed the speakerphone button and placed the phone aside, then began reading the abstract.

He had only read a few sentences when the call connected.

"Hello, President Chen."

"Zheng, have you been bombarded with calls this morning too?"

"Yes, it's all inexplicable. Qiao Ze has published two papers in 'Science', and they all think we've developed a photolithography machine?"

"I am currently looking at Qiao Ze's paper, and according to the abstract, he has indeed researched a photolithography machine in his paper."

"I skimmed the paper too, look at the diagrams at the back, they look just like the real thing..."

"It's not a matter of looking real or not, it's just a paper. How could they think we've already made one?"

"I did ask about that. They said that Qiao Ze's paper provides very detailed experimental data and a complete control system."

"What?"

"It means the paper is supported by data..."

"Am I asking about that? I'm asking where did that data come from?"

"That... I'm quite curious too."

"Qiao Ze is still working on the project in Nanyuan Residential Area, right?"

"Yes, I heard Xu Dajiang saying that he was arranging two offices for the kid in the Science Building after school starts."

"Right, you have Xu Dajiang confirm this, and later we'll go ask ourselves."

"Okay!"

...

The call Xu Dajiang made to Qiao Ze was answered by Chen Yiwen.

"Hello, Qiao Ze..."

"President Xu, I am not Qiao Ze; I am Chen Yiwen."

"Chen Yiwen? Where is Qiao Ze? Why do you have his phone?"

"Oh, Qiao Ze went to the bathroom. He left his phone with me; he said he wasn't used to having a phone with him while in the toilet."

Xu Dajiang was somewhat stunned. This was the first time he heard of such a habit.

"Are you at the research team's place?"

"No, we're outside, to be precise, in the subway station. As soon as Qiao Ze is done in the toilet, we are leaving the subway."

"Subway? Why did you take Qiao Ze out?"

"Oh, isn't Su Mucheng coming back today? She told me last night, it's not good for Qiao Ze to be cooped up in the research team every day. I thought the same, so last night I convinced Qiao Ze that staying in a small room all day, working behind closed doors, can make one's thinking sluggish. Guess what?

Recently, Qiao Ze was indeed stumped by a problem, you heard me right, and he agreed to go out with me. My plan is to take him around Furong City, have lunch, and then pick up Su Mucheng from the high-speed train station."

"That... then you must take good care of Qiao Ze, don't let him out of your sight at any cost."

"I know, but I can't follow him into the bathroom, can I? By the way, President Xu, what did you need Qiao Ze for? I'll pass the message to him later."

"Then you should wait outside the toilet door... Well, Chen Yi, let me ask you, do you know Qiao Ze has published two papers in 'Science', on photolithography machines and chips?"

"Ah? Qiao Ze wrote two papers and published them in 'Science'? No idea, he didn't mention it to me."

"Then he's been at the research team every day recently, right?"

"Yes! Didn't I just tell you he's been holed up in the research team and it's not good for his health? By the way, Qiao Ze has been reading a lot about semiconductor technology lately, books, and papers. Let me tell you, I deserve some credit here..."
