Chapter 712: Seeing an Old Friend Again, the Opportunity for the Fourth Technological Explosion!

Tianyuan Academy of Sciences, whose full name is Tianyuan Territorial Science Independent Research Institute, claims to be located in the North District of Hope City in the center of the territory.

But after some observation by Sumo.

He discovered that, strictly speaking, this place did not belong to the North District.

The area where the factory is located is still bordering the urban area, but here, it is already nearly a hundred kilometers outside the urban area.

On the road sign here, Sumo saw for the first time the small town called "Pojun" where nearly 10,000 defense troops were stationed.

and the Academy of Sciences, the distance between the two is less than ten kilometers!

and Hope City, the three formed an iron triangle, protecting each other.

At this time, it was past midday, about 1:30 in the afternoon.

After checking his identity from the outer gate, Sumo went all the way inside and found out.

The Academy of Sciences was really not what he imagined. It was a rigorous institution with only scientific researchers.

Follow this road toward the inner gate. All along the way are shops open to the public, selling all kinds of goods.

Among them, there are also entertainment infrastructure such as bathhouses and massage parlors.

On the road, all kinds of people were sitting casually under the big trees on both sides of the crossroads.

Taking advantage of the cool air and chatting, it seemed quite leisurely.

Sumo listened to this picture of a life attitude that was completely different from that in the urban area for a while, with a look of surprise on his face.

"The Academy of Sciences has really loose control over these researchers. As long as each researcher completes his or her own tasks, he or she can come out to attend classes."

"Facing 50 people, one class, charging 20 points per person"

"Good guy, you can earn a thousand points in one and a half hours!"

Education is always the first means for the continuation of human civilization and the first means for ordinary people to improve their class.

After the territory permanently closed the "school".

Even though the Academy of Sciences is hundreds of kilometers away from the city, there is no shortage of parents who "hope for their children to succeed" and spend a lot of money to bring their children to attend classes in the hope of changing their lives.

"Brother, if you don't have classes, you can take Teacher Dashu's class at 35 o'clock, stay true!"

"I have Professor Yang's class here at 4 o'clock this afternoon. One class is 28 o'clock. There are still six seats. If anyone wants to buy it, we will not wait until it is late!"

"The laboratory is rented, 500 points for six hours, 1,300 points for the day, any basic instrument can be used, materials are not included"

"After-school homework is done for you, one for 5 points for beginners, one for 15 points for intermediate, and one for 100 points for advanced, all guaranteed to pass."

"Senior Researcher Han Cong's private class is for sale, 800 points per person, there is only one seat left, so hurry up if you want to buy it"

""

The further you go, the more people flow.

Practitioners derived from the education industry have also emerged one after another.

Seeing Somo alone, several agents followed him, selling sales as they walked.

Just these, Sumo was a little interested at first, but after listening for a while and getting the required information, he no longer bothered to pay attention, and just lowered his head and walked inside.

According to common sense, courses that can be promoted by intermediaries usually have more or less pitfalls.

For example, Zhou Yue had mentioned Han Cong, the so-called senior researcher, on the way here.

Although this man is very knowledgeable and specializes in energy research, his temper is extremely bad.

If you were targeted by him, no matter what you did, even if you raised your hand or blinked, you might be scolded in person.

And this is probably the reason why he can only open a small class to cut leeks.

As for other courses, with Han Cong as an example, Su Mo didn't dare to take action rashly even if he was a little tempted.

"It would be great if I could buy lessons from Lu Kuan or the Ai brothers. Then I can go in and see how his level will be eight years later."

"If it doesn't work, Zhuo Junfan can do it!"

I don’t know if it’s for the sake of protecting a few people, or for the overall honor of the territory.

In the three technological explosions that began in the Tianyuan territory, there was no mention of the person who specifically researched it, nor was it mentioned who carried it forward.

In all the propaganda, there is only one main body, and that is the Tianyuan Territory Academy of Sciences.

After Sumo inquired about it in the territory, he only found out that the current dean of the Academy of Sciences was Ji Yang, Lu Kuan's assistant and student.

As for more, there is not much detailed information at all.

"Let's take a look first. If you can buy their class, it's worth spending thousands of points!"

Somo kept going forward along the gravel road.

The big arch at the end began to get bigger and bigger, and the feeling of oppression became stronger and stronger.

When we got here, there were guards with live ammunition. The agent did not dare to catch up and could only watch helplessly as Sumo entered the place where the identity was verified.

And going further from this second gate is within the scope of the Academy of Sciences in the true sense!

The breeze blows, bringing bursts of delicious fragrance of flowers and plants.

Sumo looked up and looked around, trying to find the location of the "signboard" that Zhou Yue mentioned.

"Is this Mr. Su Youzong's first time coming to the Academy of Sciences?"

In the identity verification door just now, a woman walked out.

This woman has a pale complexion and clear eyes. She is wearing a light gray waistcoat and a pair of leggings sweatpants. She looks very sporty.

The most conspicuous thing is the small white veil on her face, which occasionally reveals some burn marks when blown by the wind.

Just like the clear and expensive Hetian jade, there is an extra impurity.

Once you see it, you will never forget it.

"Yes, this is my first time here, madam?" Sumo looked kind.

At first glance, he only noticed the appearance and clothing.

At the second glance, he realized that the woman's figure under the loose vest was not thin at all.

If you look carefully, you can still find obvious signs of muscle training in the exposed areas, as well as various scars.

Obviously not a good person.

"Oh, Mr. Su is so polite."

Looking Su Mo up and down, the woman gave a silly laugh before continuing: "My name is Qi Xiaomei. I am a specially appointed guard of our Academy of Sciences. I am usually responsible for guarding the security of our entire Academy of Sciences. Occasionally, if I see someone I like, I will Take some private jobs such as introducing tour guides."

"Tourist guide?"

"Yes, the entire Academy of Sciences covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres, and there are more than three-quarters of the place that can be visited. If Mr. Su wants to measure this place with his feet, I am afraid that he may not be able to finish it by the time the academy closes at 6 p.m."

"I can use a simple car to take you around the Academy of Sciences and appreciate the charm of scientific research here. Well, it's one forty now, and by six o'clock in the afternoon, you only need to pay me 5 transaction points." Qi Xiaomei He cupped his fists slightly and said gently.

"5 o'clock? The price is not expensive."

"But aren't you a guard? You're carrying me to do private work, and you won't be caught." He pointed at the door that was looking at this place, Sumo had something to say.

However, upon hearing Su Mo's promise, Qi Xiaomei quickly shook her head.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'll drive here first, and I'll explain it to you when we get in the car!"

She was seen running away in large strides and disappeared from Somo's sight in less than a minute.

About three or four minutes later, a unique "neng car" quickly approached from the end of the line of sight.

Call it chic.

It's because this thing is not the four-wheeled thing Sumo has always seen, but the structure of a Kanzi motorcycle.

Qi Xiaomei is sitting on the left side riding a motorcycle, and the right side is free for fighting, which is most likely where Su Mo will sit.

"Let's go, get in the car!"

With a graceful flick of the car, the Dou Zi landed right in front of Somo.

After looking around and realizing that many people were already sizing him up, Sumo simply stepped forward and sat in without doing anything else.

"Hey, it's quite comfortable?"

"Of course, I have specially renovated this place, and all the fine tiger skins are used inside." Qi Xiaomei boasted, started the car and quickly left everyone's sight, and began to drive along the path on the left.

It wasn't until she completely disappeared from the crowd's sight that her speed slowed down.

"You just wanted to ask why I, a guard, can still take on such private work, right?"

Sitting in the bucket and looking at Qi Xiaomei above, Su Mo felt a little uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiaomei didn't realize it. She seemed to have opened a chat box and started talking nonstop:

"When you came in just now, you probably heard a lot of people selling researcher courses, right? The prices should be quite high?"

"Well, there are quite a few."

"That's it. Do you think these researchers are willing to give lessons outside?" Qi Xiaomei shook her head: "Mr. Su, in our Academy of Sciences, everyone from researchers to guards to even cleaners are not paid."

"In addition to providing you with three meals a day in the courtyard, you have to earn all other income yourself."

"It's okay for us people. We don't lack food and clothing. Occasionally we can earn some money by seeing people we like taking on private jobs, but those researchers are in dire straits."

"They have to apply for a project, and the hospital will only bear 70% of the funds, and they will be responsible for the remaining 30%. If you don't have the money, I'm sorry, but you will be responsible for the consequences of not continuing the research on the project."

"besides"

"So that's it." Qi Xiaomei explained a lot in one breath. After hearing the end, Su Mo gradually understood.

On Earth, it is nothing new that the salaries of researchers in scientific research institutions are being crushed by other industries, even the entertainment industry.

The older generation of senior researchers have come from hard times and may not care about these extraneous things and are only obsessed with scientific research tasks.

But those young researchers who have been studying for more than ten or twenty years and have just entered scientific research institutions.

They are in contact with the Internet every day, so they can naturally feel this obvious deviation.

In addition, due to the confidentiality mechanism, researchers are restricted from being too closely connected with the outside world. If things continue like this, it will lead to...

The poorer you are, the less motivation you have for scientific research and the lower the efficiency of scientific research, creating a vicious cycle.

In the wasteland, the current Tianyuan Academy of Sciences has fundamentally improved this.

This is a magical place where everyone, from senior researchers to ordinary workers, will not limit their specific work content.

As long as you have enough ability, you can study better topics, have more income, and live a better life.

On the contrary, let alone research, even life will become a problem.

Of course, the reason for this phenomenon is also very simple.

The first is the transcendent living conditions. Every researcher has the safest living environment.

Here, there are nearly ten thousand people stationed in Pojun Town for protection, and there are guards like Qi Xiaomei patrolling. Even if a natural disaster strikes, the territory will protect the safety of the researchers as soon as possible.

Living here is naturally extremely safe.

The second is the various sophisticated instruments of the Academy of Sciences.

If you want to do scientific research, it is not enough to have an idea. You will definitely need a lot of experiments.

The reason why Tianyuan Academy of Sciences is famous in the whole New World is that the various magical instruments here have brought many incredible effects.

Relying on these things, it has continuously radiated the whole continent and continuously absorbed high-level talents.

"The Science and Technology Monument Tower is in front, do you want to go and take a look?"

After getting familiar with it, Qi Xiaomei also put down her previous pretentious disguise and began to be generous.

Seeing Su Mo nod, she squeezed the accelerator and the car rushed out immediately, with a terrifying speed.

But what surprised Qi Xiaomei was that.

From beginning to end, Su Mo's face remained normal, and he didn't look scared at all.

"Have you been on the battlefield?" Qi Xiaomei suddenly said.

"No, I'm just an ordinary person" Su Mo answered concisely.

He could see that Qi Xiaomei was probably retired from the battlefield and came here to be a guard because she was unwilling to rest.

Being targeted by such people, Su Mo didn't want to expose his strength and cause trouble because of some accidents.

Everything should wait until the Sun Chaser Armor is in place.

Soon, the vehicle drove through the corridor, passed through small courtyards for pedestrians to rest, and came to a small square.

Here, Su Mo saw three tall pillars about 15 meters long, with many people sitting and standing below.

There was a circle in front of the central pillar, and I don’t know what happened.

Seeing the two people coming, Su Mo was unfamiliar.

Someone squinted and shook his head: "Another one."

Others showed interest and smiled: "Another young man full of dreams is going to break his wings here."

Their voices were not suppressed, as if they were not afraid that Su Mo would be angry because of this ridicule.

"Don't mind, it's an old custom in the Academy of Sciences."

"They are all people who almost passed the examination for researchers in previous years, but failed because of more or less other reasons."

"They are very ambitious." Qi Xiaomei lowered her voice and said a few words with her head tilted.

The researcher exam is only once in everyone's life, and the selection is extremely cruel.

To enter here, you must be either a truly talented person or a scientific research expert.

In previous years, I don't know how many people came to take the exam, but only 50 people in the youth group and 30 people in the adult group were finally selected.

If you miss this exam opportunity or fail, you still want to be a researcher.

There are only two ways.

First, the external researcher mentioned by Zhou Yue can apply for a project and use instruments.

But the cost of the project must be borne by the researcher himself. The Academy of Sciences will only provide technical guidance and will not be responsible for the funds.

Second, solve any problem on the science and technology monument, as long as it can be recognized by the researcher and approved by the Academy of Sciences.

You can immediately obtain the official researcher qualification, and even increase the progress of the professional title rating due to the difficulty of the question.

"It's okay, let them talk," Qi Xiaomei introduced it very clearly.

Naturally, Su Mo couldn't quarrel with these people because of this contempt. His goal was to get the buffer alloy.

Zhou Yue has already hinted very clearly that if you want to find a researcher to establish a relationship, the best place is here.

As long as you can see the researcher who posted the question, you can chat with him. As long as the other party is short of money, the success rate is not small.

And, if the problem is not as exaggerated as imagined.

"Maybe I can try?"

After looking at the question on the first stone tablet for a while, and listening to the noise of many people around, Su Mo's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but move his feet to where the crowd gathered.

Squeezing through the outermost crowd, standing on the high platform.

He laughed at a glance.

It really matched his memory. The researcher standing in the center to issue the task at this time was no one else.

It was one of the first batch of mechanical apprentices recruited by Ai Jianfeng in the territory, named Hou Congwu.

The reason why Su Mo could remember him was that after this child became Ai Jianfeng's apprentice, he changed his name on the spot and gave himself a new name of Hou Congwen, in order to have the blessing of "metaphysics" in his studies.

At that time, this matter became a topic of conversation for many people after dinner, and Su Mo naturally heard it more than once.

But now eight years have passed, and the young boy who was ignorant at the beginning has now become a bearded uncle.

From the outside, the uncle is still the boy in Su Mo's memory, a little shabby, unkempt, always wearing the same gray-blue tattered hat, as if he has not changed it for eight years.

But in his eyes, Su Mo can see a ray of light.

That is the light that symbolizes wisdom, shining brightly!
