Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 824 - 280: Come to My Place_2

"Let me tell you guys, don’t underestimate this conference trip. I figure next year’s Nobel Prize in Physics, the representatives attending this conference will definitely be eligible for consideration."

Qiao Yu started painting pie in the sky again, though you couldn’t say it was entirely a pie in the sky.

The communication mechanism of the Space-based Defense System falls within the scope of quantum communications, and many theories involved are breakthroughs in quantum physics, which the academic community will surely recognize.

Even if Zheng Zefeng’s main focus is mathematics, many aspects of communication overlap between the two fields.

Even if the Nobel Prize isn’t attainable, just making an appearance might still allow for a shot at next year’s Abel Prize...

The hearts of the three were now aflame with enthusiasm.

After all, if after four years of hard work they could actually snatch a Nobel Prize first, it would be quite something.

"Well, if we really go to the United Nations to give a report, we can’t possibly tell the whole truth, right?"

"Haha, it’s just a formality to show off. The report is already prepared. Just go up there and read it. There might be questions from experts, and you can answer them using prepared templates.

Overall, when it comes to theoretical questions, say whatever you want. As for those engineering details requiring confidentiality, you can’t really explain much of it anyway. What are you afraid of? It’s just about boosting your reputation."

Qiao Yu explained.

From the passenger seat, Zheng Xiweng couldn’t help but roll his eyes again.

Over the years, he had seen Qiao Yu painting plenty of grand pictures for the professors, but this was the first time it was painted so specifically.

It’s just a United Nations meeting, and not even an academic one, bringing up the Nobel even; what left him speechless was that the professors actually believed it.

Did they really think Qiao Yu was omnipotent or what?

...

Regarding Qiao Yu’s ability to paint grand pictures, Zheng Xiweng always admired it.

Though you can’t say it’s entirely grandiose.

These years, the professors in their project team received various commendations from time to time as well.

Most were domestic commendations and awards, but the bonuses were indeed valuable.

However, it’s true there weren’t many opportunities to go abroad for exchanges.

You can see that from how the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center added dedicated armed police posts.

Exiting requires foreign affairs approval. Before the Sky Shield exercise was complete, obtaining foreign affairs approval for these professors was nearly impossible.

In this sense, it’s indeed true to say going to the United Nations for these professors can be considered a great opportunity for foreign exchange. Zheng Xiweng was almost certain that they’d be acclaimed once out there.

Though the Sky Shield exercise had just ended not long ago, Zheng Xiweng knew very well that many people outside were nearly going crazy.

If there was even a slight chance to obtain information about the Space-based Deterrence project, they wouldn’t give up.

As for how Zheng Xiweng knew this...

Intelligence work was originally one of the most critical components of security work.

According to his information, within less than two hours of the Sky Shield 2031 exercise succeeding flawlessly, the chief designer of the Space-based Defense project, Yu Yanjiang, and Qiao Yu, who hosted this project, were offered massive bonuses, and the intent was even to get them alive.

Although this is practically an impossible task, the opponent was willing to offer so much money; it’s enough to prove they were indeed eager.

After all, the bounty offered through such unofficial channels requires a deposit based on the bounty amount.

So, even if Qiao Yu really wanted to step out this time, it’s incredibly unlikely. This opportunity left to others...

Well, just listen to it.

The current trouble for Zheng Xiweng was that, for safety reasons, even their internal team had to undergo another round of scrutiny.

He had already begun looking forward to the day when the Quantum Simulation Computer is released to see what the scene would be like.

Double kill!

...

The plan was finalized in the car, and upon returning to Yanbei University, Xia Keke was already waiting at the entrance of the International Mathematics Center.

They had arranged it beforehand.

Just as Qiao Yu said during an interview, research needs to be done, and love needs to be pursued.

Especially now, as Xia Keke had graduated from university, both were already 23 years old, and neither side’s families were too concerned about them.

Even if a baby really appeared, given their current situation, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

The graduate management regulations of Yanbei University had already taken such situations into account; they only need to submit the materials according to the regulations, and then they can take a year off.

The mentor and the school surely wouldn’t hinder this, let alone Qiao Yu’s child.

Put it this way, many academic and cross-disciplinary big shots even hoped Qiao Yu would quickly get married and have children, then focus his main energy on scientific research.

After all, in the eyes of the older generation, men often become more responsible after getting married and having children. In layman terms, they’re easier to handle.

Previously, because Xia Keke was still in university and both hadn’t reached the legal marriage age, it wasn’t easy to discuss this. But now that Xia Keke graduated and they met the legal marriage age, this matter could be brought to the table.

Indeed, when someone reaches a certain level of awesomeness, even personal marriage becomes a significant affair. Qiao Yu and Xia Keke were childhood sweethearts, innocent playmates.

Otherwise, who knows how many well-bred girls Qiao Yu might "accidentally" meet, leading to passive blind dates.

To put it this way, right now, if Xia Keke truly had a baby, as long as the baby is healthy, it would be hard for these two youngsters not to keep it.

Of course, Zheng Xiweng was perfectly aware of these situations, so when Qiao Yu and Xia Keke went on a date, he chose not to be an eyesore.

Anyway, using covert posts within the campus is the same. He remotely controls and commands; for months, it’s been like this.

Seeing two pairs of young people in the team appeared to start turning fake into reality.

No choice, young people always pick places to date that singles would be embarrassed to go alone, so the covert operators had to be professional and could only let young members of the team pose as couples to accompany them.

Over time, sparks may inevitably fly. However, Zheng Xiweng has always held a welcoming attitude about this. They’re all young and single, so if they really became couples, it wouldn’t matter. Just adjust their roles within the team, as hands are always needed for internal work.

Today was no different.

When getting out of the car, Qiao Yu greeted Zheng Xiweng and then walked hand in hand with Xia Keke towards the direction of Weiming Lake.

"Brother Yu, you’re amazing! You’re on the central media again today. Honestly, I can’t even count how many times you’ve been on there!"

Just stepping around the corner and out of everyone’s sight, Xia Keke praised.

There was a bit of flattery, but obviously, Qiao Yu didn’t take it that way, as it was unnecessary, so he gladly accepted it.

After all, since childhood, Xia Keke had always admired him like this.

"The big picture? It’s just a few minutes on central media, just a brief interview. That’s nothing unusual! Let me tell you, give it two more months, and I’ll take you to an event so you can be on TV too."

Qiao Yu said boastfully. Yes, they chatted like this since they were kids.

Only back then it was about spicy strips and toys, now it’s TV appearances.

"I know, you’re talking about the Tai Chi series computer launch, right?"

Indeed, that’s it.

The Sky Shield exercise was a classified project, so bringing people wasn’t possible. But the launch event for the Quantum Simulation Computer won’t have these problems.

Qiao Yu planned to bring Qiao Xi, Tian Yanzhen, Elder Yuan, and Xia Keke to the scene.

"Did you really guess that? Not bad, Kekou, if you continue to get smarter, I’m going to have a lot of pressure."

"Haha... Wait, Brother Yu, are you calling me dumb?"

"Don’t be silly, if you were really dumb, how could you have known to cling to me since you were little?"

Xia Keke: "..."

...

The little love talk between young couples is always much the same.

Not to mention, a lot of times, it’s not just words. And coincidentally, Qiao Yu was quite handy too, and so time flew by quickly...

"Ah, I thought I’d have some leisure time to spend with you after the Sky Shield exercise, but then came a bunch of things related to the quantum simulation computer..."

"It’s alright; just talk to me after you finish your work."

"Who said it’s alright? It’s really irritating, alright..."

"Yeah, just blame it on Microsoft, as you said. So stop being annoyed, just let Microsoft be more annoyed in the future."

"Actually, there is a way to relieve my annoyance."

"What way?"

"Tonight, don’t go back. Come to my place."

"Ah?"
