I've been reborn, who still chases the school hunk?

Later, under the guidance of Academician Qian, Lu Xuanxin came to a key laboratory. "This is our current research result." Academician Qian showed a helpless expression on his face, "But we haven't found a good solution to the problem of catalysts. The formula is a big problem! And how to design and build a small fusion reactor is also a huge challenge!"

He looked at Lu Xuanxin, "If we can solve this catalyst problem... let alone fusion reactors, we might even be able to develop nuclear fusion batteries!"

When he said this, his eyes were shining with anticipation and longing, as if he had seen the beautiful blueprint for the future development of science and technology.

Lu Xuanxin also looked at the device and information in front of him, his eyes flashing with contemplation and curiosity, "Have you ever tried to heat the catalyst to induce a fusion reaction?"

She asked Academician Qian curiously, hoping to get some inspiration and enlightenment from him.

Academician Qian nodded affirmatively, "Yes! Of course! We have conducted tens of thousands of experiments on catalysts! This includes many control experiments. But the progress is still limited..."

He shook his head helplessly. "The device and catalyst you saw today are interesting things we discovered recently. Perhaps they can promote the research progress of cold nuclear fusion a little bit... Otherwise, I wouldn't have the courage to tell you that we have made some progress!"

After saying this, he showed a bitter smile, as if mocking his own "audacity".

Lu Xuanxin also felt his inner helplessness and confusion, but she did not mean to give up, "Let me take a look at your research materials!" After a little pondering, she began to look through the research materials of Academician Qian and others, hoping to find some breakthroughs or new ideas to solve the problem and promote the progress of the experiment. Both of them are top scientists, so there is no obstacle to communication, and they can even often spark ideas.

Maybe it's because they are both smart people? After chatting for a while, they actually learned a lot!

The next experimental plan and research plan were quickly determined, which made Academician Qian feel very surprised and unexpected - he did not expect that Lu Xuanxin would integrate into the experimental team so quickly and put forward many valuable suggestions and ideas!

This gives him confidence and expectations for future research.

"Let's try again!" Lu Xuanxin and Academician Qian continued to discuss the possible situations of this catalyst, as well as the next experimental plan and other issues. He returned home with a slightly tired but expectant look, "Master! Your parents just called you!"

The smart assistant Xiaozhi said, "I told them you went to the lab, and I'll tell you when you come back!" "Okay!" Lu Xuanxin nodded in response, and she walked to the sofa and sat down, "Xiaozhi, help me get through to my parents!" "Okay!" Soon Lu Changming and Fan Jialing's phone was dialed, "Mom and Dad!" Lu Xuanxin shouted with a slightly tired look on her face, but her voice revealed a breath of firmness and confidence - she knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges she encountered, as long as she persisted, she would be able to succeed! Lu Changming and Fan Jialing on the other end of the phone also heard their daughter's voice, and they all showed a smile of relief and pride on their faces - they knew that their daughter had been working hard to pursue her dreams and goals, and had achieved certain results! This made them feel very proud and happy! "Hey! Son!" Although Lu Xuanxin was a girl, Lu Changming still habitually called her "son", which seemed to have become a tacit understanding and joke between them. Every time she heard this name, Lu Xuanxin would feel a kind and warm feeling welling up in her heart - she knew that no matter where she went or what she did, her parents would always support and encourage her!

At this time, Fan Jialing noticed that her daughter Lu Xuanxin's face showed a hint of fatigue. She couldn't help but frowned slightly and said with a bit of blame:

"Xuan Xin, didn't I tell you to take good care of yourself? Scientific research can't be completed in a day or two, you have to do it slowly! If you work day and night like this, your body will collapse!"

Lu Xuanxin gently rubbed her temples. Her bright eyes were now filled with fatigue that was difficult to conceal. Seeing her daughter like this, Fan Jialing felt endless heartache and displeasure in her heart:

"Besides, your health is more important than anything else! No matter what kind of research you do, it's not as important as your health! You are the apple of your eye and your father's eye. If anything happens to you, what will we do?"

Lu Xuanxin felt a warm feeling in her heart as she listened to her mother's nagging. She smiled bitterly and replied, "Mom, don't worry, I'm in good health. I just feel a little tired recently. It may be because of the pressure from work."

To be honest, Lu Xuanxin's body is indeed very healthy. Since she started taking the mysterious white crystal, although the effect is not as significant as it was at the beginning, her body has still improved a lot. Although this improvement is slow, it is very stable, allowing her to maintain sufficient energy when dealing with heavy work. However, the "tiredness" she mentioned at this moment actually refers more to mental pressure.

"Well, then you should cherish your body even more." Fan Jialing said distressedly, tears flashing in her eyes, "No matter how important the experiment is, can it be as important as your body? Your father and I don't ask you to be rich and powerful, we just hope that you can be healthy and safe."

"I understand, Mom." Lu Xuanxin agreed with a smile, his eyes full of apology and gratitude.

At this time, Lu Changming, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Daughter, are you coming back for the New Year this year? Your mother and I miss you very much."

Lu Xuanxin looked at his father's eyes full of expectation, and his heart warmed. He smiled and replied, "Yes! Of course I will! I miss you too!"

"You didn't come back last year." Fan Jialing complained, pretending to be angry and turned her head away, "If you don't come back this year, your father and I will go directly to Beijing to find you!"

"Mom, I was really too busy with work last year." Lu Xuanxin explained, with a bit of helplessness on his face, "I was so busy that I didn't even have time to eat, let alone go home. But this year I will definitely make time to go back and spend a good New Year with you."

"As a scientist, how come you are involved in education reform? This is not within your scope of responsibility!" Fan Jialing said dissatisfiedly, frowning, "I heard that many people are against your approach and think that you are interfering beyond your authority. You better be careful and don't get yourself involved!"

Lu Xuanxin gently held her mother's hand and answered seriously: "Mom, people can't live only for their work. My current position is very important, and my decision will affect many people, even the entire country and humanity. I have to be responsible for everyone and can't just care about myself."

Hearing his daughter's words, a gleam of admiration flashed in Lu Changming's eyes. He interrupted, "Good daughter, you are ambitious! You are aware! Unlike some people who only care about their own little piece of land." As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Fan Jialing.

Fan Jialing glared at him, snorted in pretended anger, and said, "You're the only one who understands! How can I, a woman, understand the big things you men have to deal with? But I only know that my daughter cannot be harmed in any way! You have to remember this!"

Lu Changming smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying nothing more. At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Is the son-in-law back?" As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Ruo walked in. He saw Lu Xuanxin was talking to his parents on video, so he smiled and greeted them: "Hello, Mom and Dad!" Then he handed the flowers and gifts in his hand to Lu Xuanxin, "Xuanxin, this is for you."

"Ruo is here too!" Lu Changming and Fan Jialing were also very happy to see their son-in-law, with kind smiles on their faces, "Have you two eaten?"

"Not yet, Mom and Dad." Zhang Ruo replied, "Have you eaten?"

"We haven't eaten yet either." Lu Changming said with a smile, "Then you two should eat early too! Don't starve yourself." The old couple looked at each other, with a hint of hesitation on their faces. Fan Jialing asked tentatively, "If we were here, we would ask you two: When do you plan to have children? You have been married for so long, isn't it time to consider having children?" The words of the two elders were full of expectation and concern.

Lu Xuanxin and Zhang Ruo were both a little surprised by this question. They looked at each other, and Zhang Ruo hesitated and said, "Let's listen to Xuanxin on this matter..." As he said this, he looked at Lu Xuanxin with inquiry and respect in his eyes. The two elders also looked at Lu Xuanxin, waiting for her answer.

Looking at the expectant eyes of her parents and husband, Lu Xuanxin took a deep breath and said frankly: "Mom and Dad, I don't plan to have children yet. I think it's too early now, and we still want to work hard for a few more years." Her words revealed firmness and confidence, but also a bit of apology and helplessness. In fact, Lu Xuanxin didn't want children. From her technological perspective, human life expectancy is expected to be greatly extended in the future, perhaps even up to a thousand years. On such a time scale, it seems meaningless to have children now. What's more, her ambition is to explore the mysteries of the universe, uncover the truth of the Starry Sky Gate and the water droplets, and solve the mystery of the system in her body. These grand goals make her uninterested in having children.

"But you two are not children anymore. If you wait any longer, it might be too late..." Fan Jialing said worriedly, her tone revealing urgency and anxiety. "You should make plans early! We can help you take care of the children while we are still strong."

Lu Xuanxin looked at her mother's anxious face, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She smiled and held her mother's hand and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll explain it to you when I get home. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Her tone was full of comfort and apology, but also revealed a kind of firmness and confidence.

"Okay... let's see how you explain it then!" Fan Jialing grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly, but still hung up the video call helplessly. She knew her daughter's personality and pursuits, and knew that she could not change her decision. She could only hope that her daughter could come home as soon as possible and listen to her explanation and thoughts in person.

Zhang Ruo looked at Lu Xuanxin and asked, "Are you really going to tell your parents the truth?" His eyes were full of concern and inquiry. He knew Lu Xuanxin's thoughts and pursuits, and respected her decision. But he was also worried that such a decision would bring unnecessary conflicts and disputes to the family.

"Yeah!" Lu Xuanxin nodded, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, "It's time! We have been taking the off-white crystals for so long and nothing has happened, and it has brought so many benefits. I believe there will be no problem for my parents to take it! And I have checked a lot of information, and it is indeed beneficial and harmless!" At this point, she showed a confident smile, as if she had already seen a beautiful future.

"Okay!" Zhang Ruo nodded, his eyes flashing with support, "I believe in your judgment and decision. By the way," he changed the subject, "many places want to customize their educational robots after seeing the effectiveness of our education reform. Do you think this business can be done?" He asked after thinking for a moment, with a bit of anticipation and excitement in his tone.

"Of course! This is a good thing!" Lu Xuanxin answered without hesitation, her eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation. "Now America is in decline, and their conflicts have erupted since the online voting! The America of the past no longer exists! At this time, of course we should accept education orders from other countries, which will also contribute to the progress and development of the world!" When she said this, her eyes flashed with ambition, as if she had already seen herself standing on the world stage.
