I thought I was a jerk

Xue Ci didn't know when he fell asleep.

Probably when he closed his eyes and sat in the narrow seat next to the instrument.

The ventilation system in the room was still running, and the temperature that was just right when he was awake seemed a bit out of place after Xue Ci fell asleep, and the cold wind seemed to swirl into Xue Ci's collar.The bleary-eyed young man subconsciously tightened the slightly loose white robe tightly against his pale skin, but his skin was still slightly flushed by the pervasive chill.

The thick eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up helplessly in the next moment from the cold—then Xue Ci fell into a hug again.

The person holding him sighed helplessly.

"So you don't know how to take care of yourself?"

But apart from complaining, there seems to be no better way to deal with Xue Ci.

Xie Wenhan's eyes fell on Xue Ci's pale skin and bright red lips, and finally leaned over and kissed his long and dense eyelashes lightly, without waking him up.

"Go to sleep."

Xie Wenhan said.

The sound fell on my ears, almost like humming a lullaby.

So Xue Ci fell asleep under the enough warmth, soft embrace, and the green wood fragrance surrounding the young man.

When he opened his eyes again, Xue Ci was awakened by the exclusive communication equipment used in the base.

Xue Ci pressed the connect button, and it was Si Kong Yi who contacted him——Si Kong Yi has been the person he has had the closest contact with since sometime.

This is what Si Kong Yi said is also serious:

"The professor said that there is something very important to announce, and a temporary meeting will be held." Si Kongyi said, "I don't think you are in the rest area, I'm afraid you didn't see the news."

Xue Ci did not see it.

He thanked Si Kongyi, got up and prepared to tidy up before rushing over.By the way, he looked at the time again—he probably only slept for a little over two hours, but he didn't feel any mental fatigue at all, and his body didn't suffer from muscle soreness due to the wrong sleeping position. He was in an incredible state.

Xue Ci thought of something and acquiesced.

It's also strange, since there are so many abnormalities, he seems to have never noticed them before.

Xue Ci did a brief tidying up, but he didn't change his clothes a lot. He just put on a white lab coat again, and hurried to the conference room.

Xue Ci was not the last one to arrive, one of his colleagues hadn't arrived yet, and Si Kongyi seemed to be calling him.

Xue Ci sat in his usual seat, glanced around, and asked, "Zhu Wenyun hasn't arrived yet?"

Zhu Wenyun is the most low-key member of the entire research team. He is usually taciturn and has little contact with other people. He has a low sense of presence.But he was diligent and steady, and his ability was not weak. Xue Ci had a good impression of him, and paid more attention to him than the others, so he could tell at a glance that he was not there.

Even Si Kongyi checked the list one by one, only to realize that this usually low-key fellow student did not come.

"No one answered the communication." Si Kongyi said, "He is usually punctual, so I don't know what happened."

Within the scope of the base, the possibility of encountering danger is very small, but there may be no accidents.Xue Ci frowned slightly, "I will explain it to my instructor."

Before he finished speaking, several professors came in one after another outside the door.

It can be said that the professors who have taken them these days are all gathered together, with extremely excited and warm smiles on their faces, even the professors who usually look at each other with a cold face, can't help but slightly curl their lips.

Ms. Lian Hua is here!

The young researchers who were present at the scene all had doubts, what happened to make it so... mobilize the crowd?

And among the people who followed Ms. Hua, who was also at the end of the line, there was also an unexpected character.

It turned out that Zhu Wenyun was following the professors.His cheeks were a little flushed, and he had a rather shy smile on his face. He occasionally replied to some professor's words with a smile. Such a calm demeanor seemed to be mediocre for a moment, and became extremely dazzling.

After entering the meeting room, Zhu Wenyun separated from the instructors and returned to his usual seat.

Si Kongyi came back to his senses, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you with the professors? I didn't answer your call, and I thought something happened to you."

Surprisingly, Zhu Wenyun just glanced at Si Kongyi quite frivolously, without saying a word, as if what was in front of him was just a cloud of air, and then folded his arms and looked at the place where the professors were.

This attitude is so bizarre.Si Kongyi was slightly taken aback, feeling uncomfortable, frowned and said, "Zhu Wenyun, you—"

"Vice-captain." Zhu Wenyun finally responded to him, "You are the captain, not the nanny, right? Do I even have to report everything I do to you?"

Sikong Yi choked, and suddenly became angry.It was only because there were professors present and the teachers were still preparing to speak, so I endured it angrily, and glanced at him, "Let's talk about it later."

Xue Ci also frowned slightly.

Something is wrong.

The other researchers noticed the movement here, and looked over, curiously wondering what kind of leopard Zhu Wenyun had eaten, and why he was going crazy at Si Kongyi for nothing.But before they thought any deeper, Ms. Hua, the final person in charge of the "God Slaughter Project" on stage, spoke, and all the small voices calmed down.

Professor Hua's eyes were still full of unconcealable joy. Compared with her usual image, it was rare to see her overflowing with emotions like this.

"The Tushen Project has taken the most important step today," said Professor Hua. "Our researcher Zhu Wenyun discovered a critical gap in the replication chip. He showed it to us today and decided to publish the method. Let’s do research together.”

At that moment, the emotion stronger than surprise was stunned!

No one else expected that Zhu Wenyun would succeed in his research without making a sound—no wonder he looks like his nostrils are almost reaching his eyes today.

Si Kong Yi's original anger was dispelled by this news.He silently thought, Zhu Wenyun actually succeeded in his research, so...then just forgive him for his rudeness today.It is inevitable that his personality will change under the ecstasy, not to mention his contribution is so great, it seems reasonable to be arrogant.

But after the news was announced, Xue Ci was slightly startled.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wenyun also developed a method to successfully copy the chip.

This is a good thing. His ideas are still rough and immature. If they complement Zhu Wenyun's method, there may be unexpected results.

Thinking of this, Xue Ci also looked forward to it.His back was even straighter, and he waited earnestly and expectantly for Zhu Wenyun to introduce his method of success, but he didn't realize that Zhu Wenyun secretly glanced at him with a slightly complicated expression on his face.

Zhu Wenyun stepped onto the podium where the screen was controlled, and under the gazes of admiration, admiration, and anticipation, he opened the materials he had prepared.He said: "I found that the key to copying a chip is not to copy the function of the instrument, but to start from the way the chip itself is made."

Xue Ci's hand that was about to take notes stopped for a moment——

Zhu Wenyun's direction is exactly the same as his. It seems that it is difficult to achieve the effect of "11>2".However, they can also complement each other in terms of the depth and depth of their respective research.What's more, Xue Ci felt that his thinking was very rough, and Zhu Wenyun's thinking might be more detailed.

Young Master Xue is seriously preparing to take notes, so that he can repair his immature research ideas and give better feedback to the tutors.But the pen Xue Ci used to record became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely after writing a character of data, and after a long pause, a black ink dot appeared on the paper.

wrong.

Zhu Wenyun's research ideas are actually the same as his——

The same.

No, it should be said that even if the research idea is the same, the experimental process made by two people cannot be completely the same, let alone the data used in the experiment choose the same variables, and the checking and calculation ideas of each step are more perfect. It's like copying all the materials in Xue Ci's computer and bringing them out to give a speech on the spot.

Xue Ci's gaze towards Zhu Wenyun became cold.

At this level, Xue Ci will not fail to see it.

His experimental results were stolen by Zhu Wenyun first.

In fact, as long as Zhu Wenyun changes some of the small data, he can explain the past. Perhaps he coincidentally coincided with Xue Ci's thinking, the improvement method of the chip circuit, and even the final verification step.

Whoever calls the research is very rational is looking for the only correct result among the hundreds of millions of possibilities. There are no coincidences in history that two different chip scholars have developed a chip with the same performance one day apart.But Zhu Wenyun did it too recklessly, even refusing to modify the data of some random variables used for verification—it was almost as if he was afraid that Xue Ci would not see that he was plagiarizing his own results.

Xue Ci lowered his head slightly, his thick and dense eyelashes like crow's wings drooped down slightly.With such a small gesture, Xue Ci looked very fragile and dazed, at a loss, as if he was distracted.

But he did not interrupt Zhu Wenyun's speech.

When he stepped off the stage, Zhu Wenyun pursed his lips slightly, as if he was still a little disappointed.

For any chip scholar, being plagiarized research is the most infuriating thing.What's more, a genius like Xue Ci, who is arrogant and youthful, absolutely cannot stand such grievances.Zhu Wenyun thought that Xue Ci would quarrel when he was giving a speech, just to make the water even more muddy, but unexpectedly, Xue Ci endured it.

It was beyond expectations.

Zhu Wenyun's "research" was obviously very successful. After the speech, professors helped him complete it, and young researchers in the audience were also discussing freely.But no matter who it is, most of them admire Zhu Wenyun for coming up with such a wonderful research idea.

Zhu Wenyun returned to his seat and looked at Xue Ci with a smile on his face.But Xue Ci just sat on the seat, with his back straight, his legs stretched out, recording something on the paper, and he didn't talk to anyone else, looking extremely relaxed.Forced to do so, Zhu Wenyun took the initiative to speak up.

"Xue Ci."

Young Master Xue actually paid attention to him, his eyes fell over, but his expression was very cold.

"You won't be angry, are you?" Zhu Wenyun asked with concern, and he smiled, "To be honest. I heard from the professors that the person they expected to be the most likely to produce research results should be you. The result I didn't expect that you haven't researched it yet, but I found a breakthrough to solve the problem."

He seemed to ask innocently, "Is the gap quite big?"

Si Kong Yi frowned slightly when he heard it from the side.

From his point of view, Zhu Wenyun's words are true, a bit complacent, he wished his tail would stick to the sky if he had some results, and it also implied that Xue Ci would be jealous of him if he didn't produce results, which is very annoying no matter how you look at it.That is to say, Zhu Wenyun's actual performance is indeed very strong, so Si Kong Yi barely suppressed his anger, lest he couldn't hold back and beat up the "hero".

Only Xue Ci and Zhu Wenyun knew how malicious these words were.

-

I plagiarized your scientific research results, and I took your place before you and became famous, are you angry?

But Xue Ci did not burst into a rage like Zhu Wenyun thought.

He just smiled, and his facial features suddenly became thicker and more beautiful.Xue Ci was born good-looking, and when he smiled, he was even more attractive. At least Sikong Yi, who was next to him, was taken aback when he saw him smiling. Wouldn't Ci even be angry? She still had such a pretty smile.

"Don't be angry." Xue Ci said lightly, "However, many of the data obtained in the experiment are very abrupt, and they may be filled in casually. If there are mistakes or omissions, it will affect the results of the subsequent experiments. The instructor should let you verify—— You will?"

He asked with a smile.

Xue Ci's many items of data were made in "sleep".He knew it was correct, so he directly used it in the experiment. In the actual recorded data, he did not leave any derivation formula, which seemed to be a number drawn out of thin air.

Without leaving any records, it is naturally impossible to be plagiarized.

Of course, Zhu Wenyun knew that this data must be correct, otherwise, the final experiment would not be successful if it was so close.But Xue Ci's meaning is also very obvious——

You can copy the results, but can you figure out the detailed process?

You can't, but I can.

List them out one by one, even if you are the first to tell the tutor the research results, do you think the tutor will believe you, or me?

Zhu Wenyun was in a cold sweat for a moment!

He wanted to provoke Xue Ci to argue with him earlier, because he knew that all the experimental materials and processes of Xue Ci had been plagiarized by himself, and all the archived materials had been destroyed, and there was absolutely no trace of existence.The laboratory is also a highly confidential environment, and monitoring is not allowed. Xue Ci has no evidence to prove that he is the real researcher.

Xue Ci is like a clumsy clown who has been stimulated, compared to himself who has the advantage of controlling the core data and first telling all the tutors the research results.Even if he jumps out to argue now that he did the experiment, he will only be regarded as a frustrated genius, so he is extremely jealous of himself, so he comes to mess around.

When the trust was broken layer by layer, the credibility of Xue Ci's words was greatly reduced, and it was impossible to compete with himself who was now receiving special treatment and protection.

But Zhu Wenyun didn't expect that there were some problems with those data, and Xue Ci might actually be able to clarify the ownership of the experimental results.Even if Zhu Wenyun continued to quibble, those professors became suspicious...it would not be so easy to solve.

However, Zhu Wenyun discovered that since Xue Ci didn't expose him on the spot, it means that he...hasn't made the final decision yet.

Such cautiousness was originally Zhu Wenyun's most annoying character.But now he began to appreciate that Xue Ci didn't directly confront him, and gave him a moment to turn things around.

He could only pretend to be confident, and continued to deceive Xue Ci: "Don't forget, how I was selected into the base."

Zhu Wenyun said flatly: "Do you think I really can't calculate those data?"

Xue Ci seemed to be fooled by him.

He frowned and glanced at him, his lips were slightly pursed, as if he didn't want to say anything more, he turned and left.

Si Kongyi only felt that the atmosphere between the two was weird, but they were tit for tat, but he also felt that Zhu Wenyun was too arrogant, so he didn't think about other things.

Zhu Wenyun's face was composed, but he didn't know whether he could deduce the data correctly. His palms were almost covered with sweat, and his back was also sweating.When he saw Xue Ci running over and whispering something to Ms. Hua—his hairs stood on end, and his heart jumped into his throat.

He, he told Professor Hua directly?

Professor Hua slightly raised his eyebrows, and said a few words to Xue Ci.

But he never looked at himself, nor called him over, and asked some sharp questions like "who made the research results".It seems that his bluffing still worked, Xue Ci did not tell others about it for the time being.

Zhu Wenyun bit his lip and made a decision in his heart.

·

"You mean, Xue Ci can prove that it is his research result?"

the man asked casually.

"Yes, yes." Zhu Wenyun lowered his head, "He hasn't told anyone else yet. I will seize the time to thoroughly understand the research method, and when the time comes, I won't show timidity when I confront him."

The man walked over, stepped on Zhu Wenyun's research robe, and seemed to have crushed it twice unintentionally, leaving a light gray mark, and said plainly: "Idiot."

Zhu Wenyun froze and didn't dare to speak, but he also knew that the man might be scolding him.

"It seems that they really praised you so much that they forgot how much you weigh. You inferior bastard, you still want to compare with that kind of real genius?" The very faint smell of smoke came from the man's fingertips. Came, "I want to confront him... Do you think you are an idiot?"

Zhu Wenyun clenched his lips, a strong sense of humiliation swept over him, but he still responded tremblingly: "Yes, I'm an idiot."

The man didn't pay attention to him anymore, he just turned on the central optical brain under his control, and couldn't help sighing after invading the line.

"Sometimes I really wish that Xue Cineng was on our side."

"It's like an excellent talent bestowed by the gods, innocent and determined, the best martyr." The man said, "He really wants to prove himself, thinking that he can turn the world around by himself and make you pay the price. But he didn't Find out where the real crisis...is coming from."

Zhu Wenyun raised his head cautiously, and saw the content emerging from the light screen.

Then he smiled vilely, gaily.

in the laboratory.

Xue Ci checked the information in the computer immediately, and sure enough all the traces were cleared, and the emails sent to the professors yesterday also disappeared out of thin air, with a high probability of being intercepted.

Xue Ci was not angry at all, and slowly started the restoration work—after all, he remembered every step of the experimental process in his heart, and it was easy to reproduce it again.In addition, even the derivation process of various data that was not recorded in the electronic file was clearly written... This part was not plagiarized by Zhu Wenyun.

He made quite precise data reasoning, and he had ample evidence to prove that he was the real researcher.Coupled with the evidence of Xue Ci's previous achievements, even if he confronts Zhu Wenyun head-on, he will not be at a disadvantage in the slightest. It is easy to imagine the scene at that time-I am afraid that there will be many professors on his side.

In order to prove his reputation, Xue Ci has also done quite a lot of deepening of the research results, extending various possibilities.No one can do this except the real discoverer.

Zhu Wenyun can steal a skin, but not a bone.

Xue Ci has been busy for a long time to prepare these.

When he finally completed the construction of the complete research chain and was about to email the data to the professors, the records in the computer began to disappear little by little.

Xue Ci immediately started anti-tracking and anti-deciphering, but the hands and feet he had set up earlier made these struggles futile. He didn't keep anything, and soon he was faced with an empty space on the computer.

The data disappeared.

On the other side, the man who had done all this smiled almost cruelly.

He could almost imagine the broken and disbelieving expression of that proud young man at this time.Those beautiful eyes should be filled with mist and tears, but he probably can't imagine what kind of injustice and darkness he will face next.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't even hold back the "pity" in his heart, and sighed.

He admired Xue Ci very much, but Xue Ci was too much of a threat to them.

cannot stay.

Only by completely destroying him can this be stopped.

And Zhu Wenyun, with the tacit consent of the man, silently peeked at those materials.

The more he watched, the more frightened he became, his back was almost wet with sweat, and the courage he had originally planned to face Xue Ci head-to-head disappeared in thin air.

It is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not be refuted.

Fortunately, the man cut off this possibility.

Under the thick night, whether it is a man or Zhu Wenyun, the young master Xue, who should be in collapse and despair, with his eyelashes wet with tears, just leaned back on the chair easily, and even You leisurely waited for the hot water to become warm, and slowly picked it up to moisten your lips.

Xue Ci dialed the communicator in the base... If you are more careful, you can notice that he has replaced a brand new communicator.

"Ms. Hua." Xue Ci's voice was very soft, "The fish took the bait."

Ms. Hua over there seemed to have said something, and finally said: "You have worked hard."

"It's not hard." Xue Ci said, he slightly bent his lips, "You go to bed early, too."

Ms. Hua sighed: "I can't sleep now... I will continue to follow up, you wait for the news."

The communication was hung up, Xue Ci drank the last bit of warm water in the cup, and left the laboratory refreshed.

Stealing from me, right...and stealing twice.

There was still a smile on Xue Ci's lips, and the pupils in his eyes were darker than the night.
