Chapter 355: Chapter 37: Seeking Advice_3 Chapter 355: Chapter 37: Seeking Advice_3 “So, young man, let’s get the ugly talk out of the way first.

I will definitely look at your manuscript seriously, but if I point out any inaccuracies, anything illogical, or even…

flights of fancy later, don’t try to argue; I’ve been researching in this field for many years now, and though I wouldn’t dare call myself an absolute authority, if I see something that is wrong, then it must be wrong, and I hope you understand that.”

…

Lin Xian just nodded and smiled, without saying a word.

It was apparent.

Dean Gao Yan didn’t believe in his own level, he had not yet started looking at the manuscript, but he was already certain that there were problems with it.

That’s why “precautionary words” were said up front.

The message he wanted to convey was simple.

Since you were referred by Chu Shanhe, I will definitely read the manuscript seriously.

But if I point out where there are mistakes, don’t argue or debate here, just accept it honestly and give up on the project.

[Today I’m only responsible for reviewing papers, not for teaching.]

That was Dean Gao’s message.

Lin Xian understood this kind of thinking very well…

If he were in Dean Gao Yan’s position, hearing a twenty-something year old with a manuscript claiming “I want to achieve controlled nuclear fusion” would be like hearing “I want to create Ultraman.”

Not being outright kicked out was already showing enough face.

When the gap in knowledge and scholarship is too large, teaching is meaningless.

It’s like explaining to an elementary school student the problem of how many legs a chicken and a pig have together, using a simple linear equation is easy, but without the linear equation…

even a college student might not know how to make it clear to the elementary school student.

“I understand, Dean Gao,”

Lin Xian nodded and politely responded:

“Don’t worry, if there is anything wrong, I will not argue or waste any more of your time.

I naturally believe in your authority, I trust your judgment.”

Dean Gao Yan, upon hearing this, exchanged a look with Chu Shanhe and nodded affirmatively:

“You see, that’s the intelligence of the young people these days, a little poke and they get it.”

He lowered his head.

Adjusted his reading glasses.

And opened the first page of Lin Xian’s manuscript:

“Well then…

let’s begin.”

…

Dean Gao Yan took a sip from his white porcelain teacup while glancing at the first page, hummed in approval, and nodded slightly.

There was a hint of approval in his eyes:

“It seems, you have indeed done some research.”

Then.

He set down the teacup and turned to the second page of the manuscript.

After reading a few lines…

His brows furrowed slightly.

He pursed his lips.

His gaze fixed on those lines, unable to move away.

Whoosh—

He went back to the first page with puzzlement, looking at the last section.

Whoosh—

Then back to the second page, reviewing the first section.

Even more confused, he looked up at Lin Xian, then at Chu Shanhe, back and forth a few times…

before finally lowering his head to continue reading the manuscript.

This…

This turn of events left Chu Shanhe a bit baffled.

What was going on?

What did Dean Gao’s look mean just now?

Was he blaming him for bringing a complete amateur?

Or was it that Lin Xian’s work was so poor that Dean Gao didn’t even know where to start criticizing?

He turned to look at Lin Xian.

But then he noticed…

Of the three people in the room, it seemed that Lin Xian was the calmest!

This young man was sitting in his chair, swinging his leg slightly, relaxed and comfortable, unfazed by Dean Gao’s previous gaze.

He had everything under control.

“Hiss…”

Suddenly.

Dean Gao Yan made a sound of sharp intake of breath.

His frown deepened.

He rubbed the white porcelain tea jar between his hands without any intention of drinking the tea, as though he was expressing the tumult within his soul.

He was an authority.

So he could see clearly.

The first few pages of this manuscript were the holy scripture in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, many of which were the experiences and theories summarized only after the launch of China’s Artificial Sun a few months ago.

They hadn’t been made public yet and were absolute state secrets!

But the manuscript before him…

Not only did it spell out those top-secret theories, but it also streamlined and optimized them, clarifying many issues that even the Dragon Science Academy hadn’t figured out…

Although it hadn’t been experimentally verified, at least theoretically, it was coherent and also aligned with the direction of his speculation all this time!

He flipped through more pages.

And the more he read, the more dumbfounded he became!

The controlled nuclear fusion part at the beginning was still understandable and within the scope of his knowledge.

But the later parts!

What was this Cold Fusion Technology?

Dean Gao Yan felt like he was reading a martial arts novel with missing pages in the middle…

The previous page had just introduced Sweeping Leg and Double Rush Fist.

The next page jumped straight to:

“This is Zhang Sanfeng, go kill him.”

The leap was too great, wasn’t it?

Dean Gao swiped a hand across his forehead…

There was actually no sweat on his forehead at all.

But this habitual gesture was an instinct, and he couldn’t control it.

This manuscript.

How to put it.

The parts he could understand were definitely 100% correct.

The parts he couldn’t understand had not been experimentally verified, so naturally, he didn’t know whether they were correct or incorrect.

The young man had traveled all the way from the Eastern Sea to seek his advice.

And he couldn’t even give a judgment of right or wrong!

But…

According to his long experience in the field of nuclear physics…

The later parts of the manuscript, concerning the theoretical section on cold fusion, were probably correct.

Even if not correct, this direction provided very valuable ideas and clues for the current bottleneck in controlled nuclear fusion research!

This manuscript…

Was undoubtedly a true treasure!

And furthermore.

Flipping to the last page of the manuscript.

There was a complete experiment report.

All sorts of parameters, the experimental process, the experimental conditions were comprehensive, and with the current experimental equipment of the Dragon Science Academy’s nuclear physics laboratory, they could immediately conduct experimental verification!

Thump——

Dean Gao Yan slapped his palm on the desk and stood up!

His face was serious.

As if facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing this posture, Chu Shanhe…

Goodness!

He had known Dean Gao for many years, always a very good-tempered and approachable person, and he had never seen him like this!

What kind of low-grade content had Lin Xian written in this manuscript to anger such an academic authority to this degree!

It was as if he was about to slap Lin Xian across the face!

“Dean…

Dean Gao.”

Chu Shanhe smiled as he stood up:

“Calm down, sir, he’s just a young man, we should prioritize education, education is key…”

However.

Dean Gao Yan walked past him, went over to Lin Xian, grabbed his hand:

“Young man.”

His tone was trembling with excitement:

“Follow me!”
