Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

6: The entire internet is searching for this ”mysterious person”—who exactly is he?”School forum?”

Lu Chen held his phone, his brows slightly furrowed.

On the other end of the line, Wang Peng’s voice was as rapid as a machine gun, laced with a hint of inexplicable excitement.

”Yeah! Go check it out! That pinned post is about to explode!”

”Looking for me?”

”I don’t know if they’re looking for you, but... it’s too damn coincidental! You’ll know when you see it yourself!”

Beep, beep, beep... Wang Peng hung up the phone in a rush.

Lu Chen, half-believing, half-doubting, clicked open the school forum APP, which he had almost forgotten and whose icon was covered in a layer of dust.

As soon as he entered the No. 17 High School forum, a bold, red, pinned post seared into his eyes like a hot iron!

The post’s title was simple and direct—[Searching! Jinghai City’s True Physics Genius!]

The poster’s ID was ”Truth Seeker,” with a completely black avatar and no information.

But what truly made Lu Chen’s pupils contract was the content of the post!

The post contained no lengthy discussions, only a few seemingly unrelated questions.

[Question 1: How do you view the unconventional performance of the ’quantum spin Hall effect’ in the Y-Ba-Cu-O (yttrium barium copper oxide) system?]

[Question 2: Discuss the stability construction scheme for the edge states of ’topological insulators’ under standard atmospheric pressure.]

[Question 3: ...]

A total of five questions, each profoundly complex. Let alone high school students, even Doctoral Students from Jinghai University’s physics department would be stumped by these!

To outsiders, these questions were just a bunch of meaningless gibberish.

But to Lu Chen—

This was practically Morse code being tapped out on his face!

Because these five questions precisely corresponded to the deliberately left ”flaws” in his paper that could spark controversy!

Each question was like a scalpel, precisely dissecting the core of the paper, yet cleverly avoiding all critical technical details!

How was this searching for a physics genius?

This was clearly an incredibly precise ”shout across the void” directed at him!

Below the post, hundreds of replies had already piled up, diverse and full of students’ lively banter and teasing.

”First! What’s theOP talking about? Can a class representative come out and explain?”

”Explain what? I know every word, but I don’t understand them when they’re together. Let’s give up, we don’t understand the world of academic elites.”

”I bet five cents this post was made by our physics teacher, Bald Ma, trying to see if any of us are secretly studying university courses!”

”Upstairs, your scope is too small! Maybe it’s a hidden janitor monk in our school, about to emerge and unify the martial arts world!”

Wang Peng’s reply was also among them, standing out conspicuously.

”Holy crap! My brother was just bragging about something similar a few days ago, could it be him? @everyone”

A bunch of people replied to him below.

”@Wang Peng, who’s your brother? Anyone can brag, I can say I can hand-make an atomic bomb!”

”Exactly, don’t try to piggyback on the popularity here!”

Lu Chen looked at these lively replies, but a storm raged in his heart.

He had anticipated that the country would look for him, but he never expected their actions to be so swift! So precise! And even... so unconventional!

Instead of searching within the scientific community, they posted a ”missing person notice” on an ordinary high school forum?

What kind of operation was this?

Lu Chen’s brain raced, and he instantly understood the crux of the matter.

They were conducting a ”saturation” screening!

Clearly, they couldn’t pinpoint his location through technical means. So, they did the opposite and started from the ”content” itself!

The person who could write that paper definitely couldn’t be an Academician in their seventies or eighties. Because that kind of thinking, that kind of subversive concept, was full of the unique sharpness and vigor of a young person!

Therefore, the other party had narrowed down their target group to ”young people”!

Universities, high schools, even middle schools!

They must have posted similar information in online communities across all universities and middle schools nationwide!

Using this seemingly clumsiest, yet most efficient, method for broad-area screening!

As long as the ”mysterious person” saw this post, they would definitely understand that it was looking for them!

”What a grand scheme...”
