Chapter 316
The discussion grew increasingly heated.Every academician proposed methods from their respective fields to detect and verify the possibility of luck transfer.
Rong Yu took notes earnestly, a clear experimental plan gradually forming in her mind.
"Wait," Yun Xiaoyuan frowned, "Xiao Yu, are you saying that in the movie, there's a person who always has explosive good luck, while at the same time, the people who come into contact with her suffer misfortune?"
Rong Yu nodded. "Moreover, the people whose luck she steals all have social ties to her. They are either blood relatives or adoring fans."
"That sounds exactly like..." Yun Xiaoyuan exchanged a glance with the others, "A localized quantum tunneling effect superimposed with a process of entropy reduction."
Rong Yu sat up straight. "Could you elaborate?"
Yun Xiaoyuan said, "If there really is this ability to transfer another person's luck, regardless of the nature of this ability, it must follow basic physical laws. Based on today's discussion, we could even design an experiment to detect and verify this phenomenon."
"Start with quantum fluctuation monitoring," Academician Zhai pondered. "If there is an energy transfer, the quantum entangled state will definitely leave a trace."
Liu Jinyue added, "Simultaneously monitor microenvironmental temperature changes and entropy flow. This is an inevitable requirement of energy conservation."
Min Shenyan raised his hand. "Wait a minute. Listening to you all, why does it sound like you're actually going to conduct an experiment?"
"Isn't this topic very interesting?" Yun Xiaoyuan said with a smile. "Since we have an idea, let's do it. Xiao Yu, the Beijing Quantum Research Center just received a new batch of German-made quantum state sensitive detectors. Their sensitivity is a thousand times that of conventional equipment. If you want to research this further, I can put in a word there and arrange a private laboratory for you."
Rong Yu immediately nodded. "Thank you, Professor."
The dinner gradually drew to a close.
When Rong Yu went to pay, the waiter informed her that the bill had already been settled.
She was just about to thank Yun Xiaoyuan.
Min Shenyan hurriedly said, "It was me, I paid the bill. Xiao Yu, the men of our Min family all have manners; we couldn't possibly let a woman pay. I am like this, and my son, Min Jianshen, is the same. By the way, have you two met up recently?"
Rong Yu covered her face.
Why was he still dwelling on this?
She coughed and said softly, "Um, Academician Min, I already have a boyfriend. I'm sorry."
"What?"
Min Shenyan was stunned.
She couldn't be his student, and she couldn't be his daughter-in-law either. Had his plans completely fallen through just like that?
"No, I mean, Xiao Yu..." He swallowed and said, "You are at most nineteen this year. At such a young age, why are you talking about boyfriends? You should be studying hard..."
"Oh, shut up." Yun Xiaoyuan rolled her eyes inelegantly. "Last year, you arranged a blind date for Xiao Yu when she was only eighteen. Do you think that was glorious?"
Min Shenyan successfully shut up.
As the group walked outside, Academician Zhai saw a familiar car parked by the road and smiled. "My daughter is here to pick me up. This child is facing graduation and is busy with her projects, yet she still made time to pick me up. I'll take my leave first."
The other academicians expressed their envy of her having such a caring daughter.
Just as Academician Zhai walked over, the car door opened. Besides her daughter, Zhai Weitong, a young man also stepped out of the car, respectfully opening the door for her.
"Mom, let me introduce you," Zhai Weitong said. "This is Duan Fei, a freshman in the Tianxingjian class this year. He is currently assisting me with my project."
Duan Fei stepped forward. "Hello, Academician Zhai. My name is Duan Fei."
Academician Zhai looked him up and down, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Zhai Weitong took a step forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Duan Fei. "Mom, aren't you planning to take on another student? I think Duan Fei is very good. He participated in many major projects during high school and published heavyweight papers. He is currently the class monitor of the Tianxingjian class and is the top student in his class."
"I understand," Academician Zhai said with a faint expression. "I will consider it and give a reply later."
She got straight into the car.
Zhai Weitong whispered to Duan Fei, "My mom just looks cold on the outside but is warm on the inside. Don't worry, this will definitely work out."
She followed and got into the car.
The car started moving, and only when Duan Fei's figure could no longer be seen did Zhai Weitong withdraw her gaze.
Academician Zhai said indifferently, "That male student is not suitable."
Zhai Weitong frowned. "Mom, you haven't even looked at Duan Fei's file. How do you know he's not suitable? Didn't you teach me not to judge and reject someone based on their appearance?"
"Your relationship with him goes beyond that of mere classmates, doesn't it?" Seeing her daughter blush, Academician Zhai knew she had guessed right. She sighed, "That boy has too many hidden motives. He is neither suitable to be your boyfriend nor to be my student."
Zhai Weitong bit her lip. "Mom, this is prejudice. Just because my relationship with him is out of the ordinary, you've developed a severe bias against him!"
"Whether it is prejudice or not, time will tell." Academician Zhai shook her head. "I won't stop you from dating. After all, you are grown up and should learn how to see men for who they really are."
The car sped away.
Duan Fei waited anxiously for news. Half an hour later, Zhai Weitong sent a WeChat message.
"My mom has a major project to participate in next, so she doesn't have time to take on students for now. But it's okay, I can recommend you to another academician."
Duan Fei's face immediately turned a bit ugly.
He had made ample preparations for tonight's meeting, yet unexpectedly, he was still rejected.
When he was in high school, many professors competed to take him as a student, but he rejected them all. He wanted to be the student of an academician, not a mere professor.
However, upon entering university, he realized that becoming an academician's student was incredibly difficult.
Because academicians rarely appeared on campus, it was hard to even meet them once...
As he was pondering, his phone vibrated. He glanced at it and saw it was Zhou Shiyu. A faint look of disgust immediately appeared on his face, and he hung up directly.
Just after he hung up, the phone rang again.
He answered with a look of impatience. "I'm very busy right now. What exactly do you want?"
"I..." Zhou Shiyu choked up. It took her a long while to find her voice. "I'm at the gate of Huaqing University. I bought a gift for you. Hurry up and come out to get it."
Duan Fei originally wanted to say he didn't need it.
But when his gaze fell upon his expensive wristwatch, he pursed his lips and said, "Wait for me for twenty minutes."
Rong Yu was driven back to school by her professor.
As soon as she got out of the car and walked to the school gate, she saw Zhou Shiyu.
Zhou Shiyu, dressed in a fiery red miniskirt, was leaning against a brand-new sports car, toying with a bunch of keys in her hand.
Rong Yu walked over. "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Shiyu smiled shyly. "Waiting for my boyfriend. Miss Rong, quickly help me take a look. What do you think of this car? Will a guy like it?"
