Lin Xuan replied: "Based on the timeline, you should have figured it out by now. If you still hadn't after another couple of days, I'd have to say I overestimated your intelligence."
"Follow the original plan and submit this technology to the state."
He had more than enough money.
Besides, by handing this project over to the state, he, along with the Su and Jiang families, would gain a powerful backer.
However, he figured the state wouldn't let him lose out on this either.
Projects of this magnitude were better off not kept in private hands.
"Okay." Wang Dahe nodded.
Wang Dahe hung up the phone.
Luo Yuan remarked emotionally: "Dahe, I feel like Lin Xuan is a god. He's just too incredible. It seems like he can succeed at anything he does."
He believed Lin Xuan was born to stand at the top.
Wang Dahe nodded. "Exactly. I feel the same way. Xuanzi is truly amazing. Good thing he's my brother."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be living such a good life now.
As they chatted, they unconsciously arrived at the principal's office.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Wang Dahe knocked on the principal's office door.
The principal was sipping tea.
He smiled warmly as he looked at the invitation Lin Xuan had sent, placed on his desk.
Wonderful, just wonderful.
Lin Xuan and Miss Su were finally getting married!
They were a perfect match, and at last, they had reached this step of tying the knot.
Hearing the knock, he set down his teacup.
"Come in."
The principal called out.
Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan pushed open the door and entered.
Both were Lin Xuan's close friends, and their subsequent academic performance had placed them among the top in the computer science program.
The principal remembered them very well.
"Ah, it's Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan," the principal said warmly. "What brings you here to see me?"
Wang Dahe walked up to the principal's desk.
He smiled and said: "Principal, I'm here to bring you some good news."
The chip and lithography machine project had only taken a few months.
And the research involved not just the chips, but also the lithography machines.
The principal didn't think about chips.
"Oh?" the principal asked with interest. "What good news?"
Wang Dahe replied: "Principal, we've successfully developed the chip."
"What?"
The principal had been sipping tea, but upon hearing Wang Dahe's words, he spat it out.
"What did you just say? You're telling me your project team has developed the chip?"
"Exactly."
Wang Dahe took out a very small object.
He showed it to the principal.
"Principal, this is the chip we developed. Its performance and precision are many times better than any existing chip in the world."
The principal took the chip with trembling hands.
He held it carefully.
"Th-this... is it real?"
the principal asked, hardly believing it. "You've really developed it?"
Wang Dahe smiled and nodded.
The principal's voice shook with excitement. "This is so incredible I can hardly believe it. A group of students, in just a few months, has cracked a technology that other countries have monopolized?"
Once this project was announced, it would rock the entire world.
And because it was developed by students from their school, Shangqing University's reputation would soar worldwide.
It was even possible for Shangqing University to become one of the top universities in the world.
Wang Dahe said: "Principal, you know Xuanzi's abilities. With him involved, nothing is impossible."
"Wonderful, wonderful."
Tears shimmered in the principal's eyes.
"Lin Xuan truly is the treasure of our school."
Good thing he had believed in Lin Xuan unconditionally back then.
Otherwise, such an incredible chip project would never have been born at their school.
"Oh, by the way, has Lin Xuan mentioned what to do with the chip now that it's been developed?"
Wang Dahe said: "He plans to submit it to the state."
"Excellent."
the principal said with a smile. "They say businessmen value profit. This chip project could have brought him trillions in profits, yet Lin Xuan still chooses to submit it to the state."
"Though he is a businessman, he has the nation in his heart."
"Good, submit it."
That afternoon.
The principal led Wang Dahe, Luo Yuan, and a few other members of the chip project team to the department responsible for economic affairs.
The director asked: "Principal Chen, what brings you here today?"
The principal handed him the chip.
"Take a look at this."
The director examined it. "Is this a chip?"
"Exactly." The principal nodded.
The deputy director, who had some knowledge of chips, frowned as he took it.
"As I recall, no existing chip in the world looks like this." He was puzzled.
The principal explained with a smile: "That's because this chip was developed by Shangqing University."
The director remembered the uproar that had sparked online earlier.
Lin Xuan was leading members from Shangqing University, as well as from the Su Corporation and Tianmu Group, in researching chip technology.
He couldn't help but ask, "Was this developed by Lin Xuan's project team?"
"That's right."
The university president nodded with a smile and said, "It was his team that developed it."
The leader had assumed the chip would be relatively low-end.
But even so, it was still an impressive achievement.
"Not bad, not bad."
The leader nodded approvingly. "This Lin Xuan is truly accomplished at such a young age. I remember he's only twenty-four. To have achieved this much at twenty-four—it's hard to imagine what earth-shattering feats he'll accomplish in the future."
They never expected that their nation would produce such a talent.
The university president said with a smile, "Leader, why don't we let the project team leader introduce this chip to you?"
"Sure."
Everyone present listened attentively.
"What?"
The deputy leader stood up in excitement. "This powerful? It's the most advanced and sophisticated chip in the world?"
"Is this data real?"
"Absolutely true." Wang Dahe nodded.
"You can have it tested."
Although the deputy leader was willing to believe that the chip really had such performance, he still found it hard to believe.
Had Shangqing University really managed to develop a chip?
And incidentally, also developed a lithography machine?
And what they had developed was the best chip in the world?
Could something like this really happen in their country?

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
