In the cafeteria, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected that some formulas he had casually derived in his notebook would attract an Old Academician to stop and observe.
He even sat down to discuss them with him.
When he first chose the research institute as his setting and got the role of a scientist, the system gave him experience information.
"Ding! Detecting the host's upcoming role as 'Scientist'. Congratulations, host, on becoming a true scientist."
"Congratulations, host, on activating the 'Clairvoyance' attribute."
He had activated the 'Clairvoyance' attribute.
This attribute was quite astonishing.
During the morning meeting, Chen Feng listened to an Old Professor giving a report on some related technologies and information for atmospheric environmental governance.
As he listened, Chen Feng's 'Clairvoyance' attribute activated.
As a result, he comprehended a technology called 'Chaos Effect' from the Old Professor's report, and from this, a series of complete projects subsequently emerged.
It was Chen Feng's first time experiencing this feeling, and he was captivated.
All morning, he had been deriving formulas for the Chaos Effect in his notebook, using the 'Clairvoyance' attribute to simplify a core formula.
As long as the simplification was successful and he had this formula, he could create an atmospheric turbulence influencing device.
At lunchtime, Chen Feng had completely forgotten the show's rules, fully immersing himself in the engrossing development process.
He never imagined that what he was doing in his notebook would attract the passing Old Academician.
...
On both sides of the dining table, Fang Chengmin and Chen Feng chatted briefly.
He didn't know Chen Feng and never watched variety shows.
However, when he passed by, he noticed Chen Feng diligently deriving formulas in his notebook. Fang Chengmin was initially quite pleased, seeing such a young researcher working hard even during mealtime, which was commendable.
So, he couldn't help but take a second look.
When he clearly saw what Chen Feng was deriving in his notebook, he was immediately captivated.
Chen Feng was deriving something in quantum mechanics, and it was quite profound.
Fang Chengmin was a senior Old Academician with a very rich breadth of knowledge, so he couldn't help but stop and observe for a while.
The more he looked, the more astonished he became.
All the formulas Chen Feng used were from quantum mechanics, and the equations he was deriving were similar to chaos theory equations.
This discovery sparked his intense interest.
It's important to know that chaos theory, even within quantum mechanics, is extremely abstruse and difficult to understand.
Hardly anyone ventures into this field because it's so hard to master.
To understand chaos theory, you must not only be proficient in quantum physics but also in mathematics; neither can be lacking.
Clearly, this young man possessed both.
So, Fang Chengmin sat down.
His sitting down startled everyone else accompanying him, especially Director Jiang Lin.
Because Chen Feng looked like a young man under thirty.
Such a young researcher in the institute was probably only an assistant researcher. What could he have written to attract an Academician?
Jiang Lin didn't know Chen Feng either.
These older generation scientific researchers were almost all immersed daily in the ocean of scientific research.
Even if they watched TV or went online, they only read the news and that was it.
No one paid attention to variety shows.
Therefore, no one recognized Chen Feng.
Coupled with Fang Chengmin proactively sitting down and even chatting with Chen Feng, the surrounding entourage exchanged bewildered glances.
...
After Fang Chengmin sat down, Chen Feng suddenly snapped back to reality.
He looked up, then at the group of people beside them.
He didn't recognize any of them.
Chen Feng secretly wondered, "What are these people doing? Institute leaders? Have they discovered my identity?"
If his identity was exposed too early, the challenge would fail.
As he was pondering, Fang Chengmin opposite him spoke first: "Hello, young man. May I ask what kind of formulas you are deriving in your notebook?"
"Hello."
Chen Feng nodded.
Although he didn't know who the other person was, he could tell from the respectful attitude of the people accompanying him that this Old Man was certainly not ordinary.
So, Chen Feng, fully embodying the role of a scientist, cautiously said, "I am deriving formulas for chaotic physics."
"Chaotic physics?" Fang Chengmin's eyes lit up, knowing he hadn't been mistaken.
He asked again, "Young man, what project is this for?"
"Oh, it's not for a project yet," Chen Feng smiled faintly. "It's an idea I've been pondering myself, about a device for managing atmospheric turbulence."
"Oh? Managing atmospheric turbulence?" Fang Chengmin's eyes brightened even more.
It's well known that Global warming and environmental degradation are common problems facing all of humanity.
Some catastrophic challenges are imminent.
For example, the continuously rising Global average temperature is causing the accelerated melting of glaciers in the North and South Poles.
The most direct consequence of glacial melting is the continuous rise in sea levels, and ancient viruses frozen for hundreds of millions of years beneath polar glaciers may face the crisis of breaking free.
At the same time, secondary disasters are constantly occurring worldwide.
Atmospheric environmental governance should have been prioritized long ago.
However, the means of governance is a difficult problem.
To this day, no effective means have been proposed by countries worldwide, including the Western Eagle Country.
Therefore, when Fang Chengmin heard that Chen Feng's idea was about managing atmospheric turbulence, and also utilized the Chaos Effect technology, it made him even more interested.
Unheard of. What idea did this young man come up with? Perhaps it's an innovation.
So, Fang Chengmin sincerely asked, "Young man, could you tell me your idea? What means do you intend to use to manage atmospheric turbulence?"
"Uh..." Chen Feng hesitated.
This was a standard reaction for a researcher, as he didn't yet know the other person's identity, so how could he casually share his innovative idea with an outsider?
At this moment, Director Jiang Lin, who was beside them, suddenly spoke, "Which department are you a researcher in? It's fine, go ahead and speak. The person opposite you is Academician Fang Chengmin, an Academician of the National Academy of Sciences."
Chen Feng was startled. An Academician? Holy cow!
An Academician was sitting right across from him.
Chen Feng felt both amused and exasperated.
Alright then.
To make the portrayal more realistic, the rules required him to communicate and interact with others.
So, Chen Feng no longer hesitated, but respectfully said, "Academician Fang, my idea is not quite mature. If you wish to hear it, then I will explain. Please offer your guidance."
"Haha, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Fang Chengmin quickly waved his hand.
This was the truth.
Although Academicians possess extensive knowledge, they are not omniscient.
Fang Chengmin was not an expert in the field of quantum physics, and he couldn't possibly know everything.
Any talk of guidance was merely polite conversation.
At this point, Chen Feng no longer hesitated and began to speak fluently: "Academician Fang, my idea stems from the influence of the Chaos Effect on atmospheric turbulence."
"As is well known, the Global atmospheric turbulence system is also a chaotic system model."
"This argument was already proven when the 'Butterfly Effect' was first proposed."
"So, if I can create a device, can I not use the Chaos Effect to influence atmospheric turbulence?"
"For example, if I activate the device in the laboratory, causing a tiny disturbance within the atmospheric turbulence, could it then trigger a Thunder Storm in the arid Northwest desert region?"
"Or, could it prevent the formation of super typhoons in the Southern Sea?"
"Or, could it improve Global temperatures, lower the average temperature, and slow down the rate of polar glacier melting?"
"Through my calculations, this objective should be achievable."
"I use an ultra-high-power pulsed laser as a key, allowing the laser to be projected into the atmospheric turbulence in a specified manner and intensity, causing a disturbance."
"As long as my model and analytical formulas are correct, the atmospheric disturbance generated by the laser will definitely create intense weather activity in the target area, such as a Thunder Storm and hurricane-force rain."
"Academician Fang, this is my idea."
Opposite him, Fang Chengmin's face was filled with shock.
This idea was simply too far ahead of its time...
