On this day,

Xu Mang is preparing his luggage, according to the plan arranged before, he will go to the capital to stay for a while, Xu Mang does not feel anything about the so-called stay for a while, but Yang Xiaoman is quite sad.

"Stupid..."

"What if I miss you?" Yang Xiaoman helped Xu Mang sort out his clothes and pants, turned his head and said sadly, "Can you not go?"

“...”

"What do you want?" Xu Mang's face was black, and he said helplessly: "It's not that I won't come back, so what... The plane from the magic capital to the capital is only two hours, and if there is more time, I will fly over. ”

"Hmm..."

"Don't stay in the capital for too long. Yang Xiaoman's handsome little face flushed with a flush, and she squeaked and said: "After all, another shy and beautiful wife is waiting for you at home, if you don't come back for too long, she will run away..."

Xu Mang: Embarrassed

I...

Shame on you!

You're a violent and ashamed...

"Oh..."Xu Mang nodded, trying to pretend to have a bitter expression: "Don't worry... I'll definitely hurry up and come back, in fact, I'm also very bored there, and I'm very uncomfortable without you around. ”

Xiao Man pouted and looked at Xu Mang seriously: "Okay... Don't pretend, I see you're about to cry with joy, idiot... Come back early, or I'll fly over and take you straight away. ”

At this moment,

Xu Mang finally couldn't help but show the happiest smile, it's been two years... For two whole years, I have been staying with Xiaoman for the past two years, and I am almost worse than death, and now I am about to usher in the days of separation between the two places, not to mention... The mood is very exciting.

Yang Xiaoman: (* ̄〈 ̄)

Bastard!

I smiled so brightly.

suddenly

Xu Mang's mobile phone rang, and he glanced at the caller, it was Brother Chuan Xiao, probably to ask if he had set off.

"Hello?"

"Brother Chuanxiao... I'll be here right away. Xu Mang said with a smile: "The luggage is also ready, and by the way, I am ready to live for a long time, don't worry... This is a spirit that is not afraid of hardships and difficulties. ”

“...”

"Xu Mang... I'm sorry, but I'll give you a short notice and postpone it for fifteen days. Brother Chuan Xiao said: "I just received a notice from the other party, it seems that something has happened, and you will report it in two weeks, that is, in low October or early November." ”

I...

This...

Postponed?

Xu Mang heard Brother Chuan Xiao's words, and looked at the ceiling with a confused expression, he was happy for so long, but he was told that you were happy too early... It's over, it's over.

Hang up the phone,

Xu Mang glanced at the curious Xiao Man, for a while he didn't know how to explain to the violent airport, but it was certain that it was useless to explain himself, and he would definitely be bullied to death by her at night.

"What's wrong?"

"Originally, I was still smiling, but now why do I suddenly look tragic?" Yang Xiaoman said with a smile: "Oh... Isn't it postponed? You said you don't deserve it, you me off, and you couldn't get out, and you came back to me, hehe..."

Xu Mang shrank his head, carefully hugged Xiao Man into his arms, leaned into her ear, and said, "Xiao Man... I'm afraid you don't know, in fact, I deliberately postponed it for a few days, you taste, you taste, I haven't done it for you?"

Although it is very angry,

However, being hugged like this instantly dissipated a lot, but Xu Mang's nonsense did not convince Xiao Man, and he pouted and said angrily: "I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe in the man's broken mouth, you are not as good as a liar, and you used to deceive my feelings." ”

"And now?"

"Finally got your hands on it... Even feelings are not deceived. Yang Xiaoman glared at Xu Mang: "Stupid? I think you're a scumbag... If it weren't for my strength, I guess you'd be fruitful outside, right?"

"What do you think?"

"I'm a very single-minded man. Xu Mang said helplessly: "Okay, okay... Yesterday I bought some Merlin luncheon meat, how about I fry two cans of Merlin luncheon meat?"

"Merlin?"

"Okay, okay!" Yang Xiaoman nodded and said seriously: "Fry me two more poached eggs, it's not me bragging... You can eat two bowls of rice at noon. ”

...

Afternoon

Xu Mang returned to his usual life mode, lying motionless on the sofa, he was supposed to set off tomorrow, but a phone call disrupted all the plans, or... Let's get some wire metamaterials, right?

There is already an overall framework, as long as you follow this framework, it will be almost the same.

"Hello?"

"Director Liu... Hehe, guess who I am?" Xu Mang grinned and held his mobile phone, with the two big words 'slut' written on his forehead, and said: "There is a reward for guessing correctly, if you don't guess correctly... There are rewards too!"

“...”

"Xu Mang?"

"What do you want to do?" Liu Guofang asked helplessly, "You... Aren't you going to the capital tomorrow? Everything is ready?"

"It's postponed. ”

"By the end of October or the beginning of November. Xu Mang said seriously: "Director Liu... I have a matter that you need to help me with, can you find some high-achieving students in the Department of Materials, I have a research topic that I need them to help me complete. ”

"Huh?"

"Is it some wire metamaterial?" asked Director Liu.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"The overall framework of this material has been completed, and the rest is a matter of time, of course, the difficulty is not small, just for the students of the materials department to practice their hands. Xu Mang smiled: "Director Liu... How?"

Director Liu was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "It's very good, just to accumulate some metamaterial technology for the department, I'll prepare it, and by the way, you can also come over and explain some details clearly." ”

"Good!"

syllable

hang up

Xu Mang let out a long breath, this problem has been solved, and there is no need to do it yourself.

"Ugh..."

"Suddenly... Life has lost momentum!" Xu Mang lay on the sofa and looked at the ceiling above his head, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is good to be a salted fish without dreams, this society has become a little vain, so vain that only interests remain.

It is said that people have to work hard, but... Sometimes most of the effort is in vain.

Then

Xu Mang thought of a topic he had experienced before, people... Why live?

before

Xu Mang feels that people live for dreams, but now that he has been honing in society for two years, his senses have changed dramatically, people just live for the sake of living, after all, they have come here, so let's live.

Then

The phone rings,

Xu Mang saw a familiar and unfamiliar number, as if it was called by the person surnamed He.

"Professor Xu?"

"Are you at Fuda?" He Fang asked respectfully.

"Me?"

"I'm at home... What's wrong?" Xu Mang looked confused.

"I've already gotten off the plane and I'm on my way to Fuda, can you meet?" He Fang asked.

Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, this sudden meeting was unguardable, but people came all the way over, maybe there was something urgent, so he simply said: "Okay... When you go to the XXX campus, you can go to the gate and talk to the security guards. ”

"Good!"

"Thank you. ”

Facing He Fang, who suddenly arrived, Xu Mang didn't think much about it, got up and went to Fuda.

Long

Fuda,

Department of Physics Building,

Office of the Deputy Director.

Xu Mang looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite, and asked curiously, "Researcher He... Do you have anything to do with me? I've come all this way, and there's anything I can't say on the phone?"

"Ahem..."

"There was something that couldn't be solved on the phone. He Fang said seriously: "Professor Xu... Director Xu, in fact, I came here this time, mainly to talk to you about the PPT I sent before, and you said that this device can solve any metamaterial design problems in one second. ”

"That's right!"

"Is there any problem?" Xu Mang nodded.

He Fang glanced at Xu Mang and hurriedly asked, "This device... Isn't it already out?"

"Hmm!"

"I just researched it some time ago. Xu Mang said indifferently: "But it's not perfect, so it is not disclosed, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to continuously optimize to achieve the effect I want." ”

"This..."

"With such a large project, I chose not to make it public... In case the above is checked, Director Xu... There will be a lot of risk. He Fang said.

"How?"

"Do you still want to arrest me and put me in jail?" Xu Mang said disapprerovingly: "Who dares to arrest me?"

“...”

Who will arrest Professor Xu and go to jail?

I'm afraid no one would dare.

At this point, He Fang can pack a ticket, even if he takes the private embezzlement of research funds as the breakthrough direction, you must know that Professor Xu Mang's family background is not ordinary, and it is really unnecessary to swallow one or two hundred million, and he can just take a research result to the point where it cannot be measured by money.

"Director Xu?"

"Did the single-layer tin atomic composite material be made with that equipment?" He Fang asked cautiously.

"Yes!"

"You... What exactly do you want to ask?" Xu Mang said confusedly: "Let's get straight to the point, time is limited... I also have to go home and cook for my wife. ”

He Fang: ???

Such a big scientist even has to go home to cook for his wife?

"Ahem. ”

"Director Xu... I'd like to put your device to the test. He Fang said seriously: "To be honest... I still can't accept that solving metamaterial design problems for a second has changed the worldview for me, and I want to prove the truth for myself. ”

Xu Mang looked at He Fang, and instantly had a good impression of this middle-aged man, this request is not too much at all, Xu Mang especially appreciates this kind of practice of breaking the casserole and asking the end, engaging in scientific research... It should be like this, keep exploring, keep exploring, in order to keep improving.

"Yes!"

"But I still want to ask. Xu Mang asked solemnly, "You... Are you really ready to go to the world of the future?"
