Chapter 258 - 258 Do you want to conquer superconductivity?
Chapter 258 Do you want to conquer superconductivity?
"Uh..."
Seeing the change in Ye Xian's emotions, Ning Xi panicked, "Auntie, I'll try my best, okay? This matter... requires Dad's consent."
"As long as you're willing."
Hearing Ning Xi express her stance, the disappointment on Ye Xian's face was instantly replaced by a smile. The speed of her change in expression left Ning Xi utterly stunned.
Had she been tricked?
It seemed like it...
But the other party was Ye Fan's mother, so she couldn't say anything. She could only force a smile and nod.
In his heart, Ye Fan gave his mother another thumbs-up.
With a mother like this, how could he not win Ning Xi over?
After chatting for about five minutes, Ning Xi used studying as an excuse to take the initiative to end the video call.
Before the call ended, the phone returned to Ye Fan's hands, but the next words made him feel utterly helpless.
"You take care of Ning Xi's father."
"Mom, you make it sound so easy..."
"Beep... beep beep..."
Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, the call was already disconnected. His expression was quite something.
So just now, it wasn't a discussion, but an announcement!
Thinking about Ning Xiangtian's attitude, Ye Fan felt a headache coming on. But for the sake of his mother—of course, mainly for his own happiness—no matter how difficult it was, he had to bite the bullet and go for it.
Ning Xi pouted, her eyes filled with grievance. "This isn't even settled yet, so why did you already tell Auntie? What if I can't go in the end?"
"Ahem!"
Ye Fan put away his phone and said seriously, "There's no 'what if.' Didn't Sister Lan say last time that as long as both of us make it into the Genius Ranking, she'll agree to let you visit Linhai?"
"But your bet with my dad isn't even... mmph~"
Before Ning Xi could finish speaking, Ye Fan covered her mouth. He smiled and asked, "Xiao Xi, why don't I remember any bet?"
"..."
Ning Xi was completely defeated by Ye Fan's shamelessness. Gritting her teeth, she bit Ye Fan's hand.
Ye Fan yelped in pain and let go. Before he could say anything, Ning Xi had already turned and run into the courtyard. He quickly followed.
In the living room.
The moment he saw Ning Xiangtian, Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace, getting ahead of Ning Xi and walking to the sofa with a big smile. "Good morning, Uncle."
"Mm."
As usual, Ning Xiangtian's attitude was neither warm nor cold.
Ye Fan didn't mind at all—he was already used to Ning Xiangtian's demeanor. If Ning Xiangtian suddenly treated him with enthusiasm, he would probably feel uneasy.
Ning Xi walked to Ye Fan's side and secretly tugged at his shirt while glancing toward the corridor leading to the study. Her meaning was quite obvious.
Ye Fan subtly shook his head and whispered, "Xiao Xi, you go to the study first. I want to talk with Uncle."
"Don't mess around!"
Ning Xi glanced at her father, who was working, and whispered a reminder.
Ye Fan talking with her father?
It was definitely about going to Linhai during the summer. She knew her father well—he would never agree. No matter how well Ye Fan spoke, it wouldn't work.
More importantly, she was worried their conversation wouldn't go well, making things worse.
Ye Fan guessed her concerns and smiled. "Don't worry, it's not about that. I have something serious to discuss with Uncle. You go to the study first. Be good."
As he spoke, he habitually reached out to pat her head. But as soon as he raised his hand, he received a murderous glare.
"Ahem—"
Ye Fan's hand froze in midair before he scratched his head and shamelessly said, "Uncle, doesn't my outfit today fit particularly well? Coincidentally, this store is having a sale. If you like it, I can recommend it to you."
"..."
"..."
Extreme social confidence.
Confirmed.
Ning Xi covered her face with both hands, unable to watch. But at least she was no longer worried.
Although she was curious about what Ye Fan wanted to discuss with her father, she knew now wasn't the time to ask. So she simply turned and went to the study alone.
Ning Xiangtian raised an eyebrow, exuding an authoritative aura like waves of a torrential flood. The atmosphere in the spacious living room suddenly became tense.
"It was just a joke, just a joke."
Ye Fan smiled slightly and sat across from Ning Xiangtian, his expression unchanged.
Ning Xiangtian's face darkened. Impatiently, he asked, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm busy."
Ye Fan straightened his posture, his smile disappearing as he said seriously, "Uncle, your company has recently acquired many technology teams, right? There should be a lab for material research."
"Why are you asking about this?"
Ning Xiangtian responded indifferently while continuing to work.
"Ahem—"
Noticing his attitude, Ye Fan knew he had to bring out the big guns. Otherwise, Ning Xiangtian wouldn't take this seriously at all. He gathered his thoughts and said, "Uncle, do you know the Academic Exchange Network?"
"Mm."
Ning Xiangtian acknowledged it with a bland response, his eyes still focused on the news on his tablet. His attitude was completely dismissive.
Ye Fan continued, "Then does Uncle know what's ranked first on the Academic Exchange Network's bounty board?"
Ning Xiangtian's scrolling finger paused. Raising an eyebrow, he said, "The Superconducting Era?"
"Exactly!"
Seeing that Ning Xiangtian could instantly name the Superconducting Era, Ye Fan felt relieved—this would make explaining much easier. He nodded and said, "Yes, the Superconducting Era. I'm very interested in the field of energy transmission. I've read tons of materials and done a lot of theoretical research, but unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to put it into practice."
Actually, he wasn't interested in energy transmission at all—he was interested in the Superconducting Era's bounty.
But of course, he had to make it sound good.
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Ning Xiangtian immediately understood his meaning. He set down his tablet and looked directly at Ye Fan. "What, you want to crack superconductivity?"
Of course, he knew about the Superconducting Era. When the Science Academy posted this bounty on the Academic Exchange Network, it caused quite a stir.
Even during meetings with several business tycoons, they had discussed the Superconducting Era.
However, from a businessman's perspective, what they valued wasn't the measly eighty-million-yuan bounty, but the immense value of the technology itself.
Eighty million might be an astronomical figure for ordinary people, something they could never earn in a lifetime, but for top capitalists like them, it was just pocket change.
After discussion, they all reached the same conclusion.
If superconducting technology were to be developed, its technological value could only be described as terrifying.
It would be beyond estimation.
Some investors had even tried to tackle it, pouring in billions and assembling a massive research team of nearly a thousand people—only to fail spectacularly.
And now, Ye Fan, a high school senior, wanted to crack the Superconducting Era?
Heh—
