"I have nothing else to attend to. Qiao Ze, you go ahead with your tasks, and Su, take good care of yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, Principal Chen."

"Don't mention it, don't mention it."

After exchanging a few words and seeing Qiao Ze nod, Chen Yuanzhi followed Xu Dajiang out of the office, feeling a sigh of relief in his heart.

There was no helping it; every time he came to see Qiao Ze, there was an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

Ah... Then, subconsciously, he quickened his pace.

After all, encountering the academic visitors from the Capital would be even more awkward.

...

The second group to pay a visit to Qiao Ze were indeed four academicians from the Capital.

With Dou Dou having caused a stir on campus yesterday, and with Lv Bei, a dedicated individual, lurking around for news, it was natural for them to learn upon waking up the next day that the Mathematics Research Institute had kicked off another grand project.

The general sentiment among them was speechless bewilderment.

After all, before coming from the Capital, they had already received news that three laboratories had taken on tasks issued by Dou Dou, hinting at the development of a biological supercomputer. Upon arriving at Xilin, they're now looking into some sort of wireless imperceptible charging system...

If you added the ongoing Deep Sea Autonomous Cluster System, the Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute was embarking on three mega-projects simultaneously. Moreover, each project could be described as epoch-making.

This kind of resource utilization efficiency left everyone bewildered—and the efficiency was so high that it rendered the four academicians, too familiar with the rules, speechless.

Scientific research funding for projects evaluated in the hundreds of millions was approved just like that. It's said the laboratories and research centers were all busy taking on tasks last night, with no one doubting whether the funds would indeed be available. The financial power of the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute was indeed terrifying.

Of course, project approval doesn't guarantee success.

However, given Qiao Ze's track record of success, it seemed there was a substantial hope for success.

From their perspective, they naturally looked further into the future, at least, no less far-reaching than Lv Bei's views.

Upon returning to the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, they even had a bit more respect for the place.

Even though today's reception was noticeably hasty, with nobody preparing a tea table in the small courtyard, only leaving a long table usually used for group meetings in the office.

...

"Haha, Qiao Ze, I didn't expect you to be such a warm-hearted person. Just got up this morning and I heard that your Xilin Mathematics Research Institute has made another big move, the news has spread all the way to the Capital.

Are you aiming to help expand Huaxia's industrial advantage and seize overseas markets? If this is successful this time, that would be fantastic."

Qiao Ze didn't respond to Zhang Mingrui's sentiments.

Mainly because he didn't know what to say in response.

He really didn't have such complex thoughts; as for whether Dou Dou did, that would depend on the decision tree.

It cannot be excluded that among Dou Dou's fans, some from the electric car industry had shared their hardships and suggested Dou Dou to include such a promising project in its database.

After all, if the project really went live, the biggest beneficiary would be the electric car industry.

Smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other such electronic devices would merely be an afterthought.

Fortunately, the atmosphere at the scene did not cool down due to Qiao Ze's silence.

After all, Dou Dou is omnipresent; as long as there is a small speaker connected to the internet, it can speak.

"Hey, it's not as complicated as you guys think. Actually, if I really wanted to sell products, I have even better methods to overcome man-made barriers. The kind that work instantly."

"Oh? Do tell?" Zhang Mingrui asked with interest.

It wasn't that the academicians wanted to flatter; the topic was indeed worth discussing.

"It's very simple, just tell them we won't be making cars anymore, we'll be fully dedicated to producing tanks instead. And the autonomous kind, too.

This way, there's no need to export cars; just export tanks instead. Based on my research on human history, the more tanks are sold, the lower the barriers to selling cars. Easy, right?"

When Dou Dou's innocently cheerful voice stopped, the meeting room fell into a moment of silence.

Then everyone very politely changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about engineering matters, we are mathematicians after all. "

"Right, right, Qiao Ze, and Su, we haven't congratulated you yet..."

"Yes, when are you two holding the banquet? Surely it's not too much for us old folks to ask for an invitation, right?"

"Speaking of which, Su is our honorary academician at the Mathematical Society, it would be great to have a ceremony in the Capital as well, sort of like returning to her maiden home... Haha, you agree, don't you?"

Seeing the several distinguished guests chatting amiably, Qiao Ze even began to wonder if they had come specially for stand-up comedy...

Could it be that as people age, they unconsciously lean towards becoming artists?
