I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2153 - 1379: Oath Taker (Part 2)

"..."

"..."

Lin Zhuzhen finally fell silent for a moment, then smiled graciously, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for the compliment and suggestion, I will consider it."

"Dr. Lin, thank you for taking us on a tour."

Cao Jinse interjected, painting a vivid picture of Lin Zhuzhen, but when it came to Jiang Chen, it was rather ambiguous, only mentioning his name without further elaboration.

"Please follow me."

Watching the female doctor lead the way, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but exhale slightly.

"I didn’t expect we still have such talent in the country."

"With over a billion people, even if it’s one in ten thousand, you can still have ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers."

Hearing the sound by his ear, Jiang Chen was speechless, then deeply agreed.

Indeed, strength in numbers has been an unchanging truth since ancient times.

"This is our main building, a total of 50 floors, 45 above ground and 5 underground. The above-ground part is divided into research, office, and public service areas, and the underground part is used for equipment storage, data center, and security center."

Through the facial recognition system, Lin Zhuzhen led the two into the building, introducing as they walked.

"The research area is on the 20th to 40th floors, divided by research fields, including quantum computing, artificial intelligence, bioengineering, and nanomaterials laboratories. The office area is on the 10th to 19th floors, providing researchers with private offices and open collaboration spaces. The 1st to 9th floors comprise facilities such as restaurants, libraries, gyms, and medical centers, providing comprehensive life support for researchers. Besides the main building, auxiliary structures like the material preparation center, data analysis center, and experimental animal center are distributed around the park..."

Researchers in lab coats hurried in and out.

"Dr. Lin, how many people are in the park now?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"Over sixteen hundred. This way."

The three entered the elevator.

Through the transparent curtain wall rising continuously, Jiang Chen gradually took in the view of the park, including the couple of hectares of artificial lake beneath his eyes.

The shimmering inside wasn’t water but all the silver he invested.

"This is the research area."

Lin Zhuzhen naturally knew the most worthwhile area to visit.

"This is the nanomaterials laboratory, equipped with high-resolution transmission electron microscopes with magnification up to one million times, and atomic force microscopes capable of atomic-level surface morphology analysis..."

Through the glass window, researchers could be seen examining samples using electron microscopes, displaying clear hexagonal carbon atomic structures on electronic screens. On another laboratory bench, the chemical vapor deposition system was crafting new nanomaterials.

—Bioengineering laboratory.

—Artificial Intelligence Research Center.

—Quantum Computing Laboratory.

Taking a quick tour, Jiang Chen, a big spendthrift, felt very satisfied, finding the money he spent well worth it, not wasted.

"Dr. Lin, what are our requirements for recruiting researchers in the park?"

Walking on the aerial corridor made of transparent materials, Jiang Chen inquired.

"Mr. Jiang wants to work here?"

This Dr. Lin wasn’t only high in IQ but also emotionally astute, quite humorously witty.

Jiang Chen smiled, shaking his head, "I guess I’m not that lucky, probably couldn’t even pass the academic qualification checkpoint."

"What’s Mr. Jiang’s education level?"

Lin Zhuzhen asked.

"A top student at East Sea University, receiving scholarships annually during my time at school."

Only then did Cao Jinse "grandly" introduce.

Boss Jiang rarely blushed; comparisons indeed are terrifyingly embarrassing.

Look at others’ emotional intelligence, Lin Zhuzhen promptly responded, "Then Mr. Jiang working with us would definitely not be an issue."

Jiang Chen laughed, "Thanks to Dr. Lin for the compliment, but I wouldn’t want to hold you back."

"How long did Dr. Lin stay abroad?"

Jiang Chen changed the topic.

"Over a decade."

"Then Dr. Lin should be used to living abroad, why choose to return?"

"Is Mr. Jiang testing me?"

"No, just asking casually. Don’t we have many excellent talents who remain abroad?"

Lin Zhuzhen kept a natural expression, "I had it figured out when I chose to study abroad, I would definitely come back. If the country needs me, then sooner rather than later."

Jiang Chen smiled, exclaiming, "Dr. Lin truly is admirable."

The three stepped out of the aerial corridor.

"If Mr. Jiang would admire me, then Mr. Jiang ought to admire all our researchers here."

Lin Zhuzhen joked.

Jiang Chen nodded, "You’re all heroes."

Lin Zhuzhen smiled, "Mr. Jiang is flattering us, we’re just Shen Zhou people. Science knows no borders, but scientists do."

Subsequently.

Led by Lin Zhuzhen, Jiang Chen and Cao Jinse arrived at a spacious, bright, yet empty hall.

This was certainly not a research room, resembling a small auditorium like in a university, with stairs at the front of the hall and a dark red podium at the top. Behind the podium, instead of a blackboard, was a large backdrop wall adorned with a vivid image of the Big Dipper.

"This is Yanhuang Hall, a place for top-notch researchers to take their oaths upon joining. Everyone joining us first takes their oath here."

As she spoke, Lin Zhuzhen glanced at Jiang Chen, "Didn’t Mr. Jiang want to join us? You can take the oath now."

Jiang Chen smiled, shaking his head, "Not quite appropriate."

"What’s inappropriate? Since you have the intention, and Dr. Lin is willing to accommodate, why be shy?"

Cao Jinse teased.

"How about I demonstrate for Mr. Jiang?"

Taking the oath was certainly just for fun, meant to make Boss Jiang’s visit more lively, so Jiang Chen didn’t spoil the mood, nodding, "Alright, what should I do?"

"Mr. Jiang, please walk forward, onto the platform."

Jiang Chen complied, taking several steps forward, ascending the stairs.

"Do you see the two tomes above?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the podium’s surface, noticing a copy of the "Nature Journal" and another of the "Constitution," both stacked together.

"Mr. Jiang, place your left hand on the two tomes, raise your right hand, palm outward, by your head. Then I’ll say a line, and you repeat."

Jiang Chen complied.

Cao Jinse watched with interest from below.

"I solemnly swear in the name of science."

"I solemnly swear in the name of science."

"To dedicate all my wisdom to the hot land of Huaxia in this life, without changing my original aspiration due to changes in circumstance. Though overseas, my heart is always tied to Jiu Zhou’s rivers and mountains.

Not to obscure truth with self-interest, not to distort facts with bias. Experimental data writes like Bronze Tripod Inscriptions, should truthfully be inscribed with passion.

Keeping national secrets as guarding one’s pupil, not letting a bit of research crystallization fall elsewhere. Even with a sharp blade to the neck, not uttering a single key detail.

Research results should benefit all people, not let them become the personal tool of the powerful. If faced with technological misguided paths, rather lose data in the incinerator than let it harm the world.

Always maintain a thirst for knowledge, not assuming authority. Regard juniors like the waves of the Yangtze River, with no reservation in bestowing knowledge.

If facing a significant research crisis, must stand as the last line of defense with flesh and blood. The laboratory is the battlefield, the data board is the shield, the self can perish, but the scientific spark must not extinguish.

At life’s end, all private records should be destroyed, with all life’s research essence returned to the national think tank, becoming steps for successors to climb."

"With the universe as witness, under the stars and galaxies, if this oath is violated, may I be eternally stripped of my scientific qualification, and my soul never return to my home country’s rivers and mountains!"

"—The oath taker, Jiang Chen."

Whether an illusion or not, when Jiang Chen mimicingly spoke his name, it seemed as though countless different voices and countless different names echoed simultaneously, blending separately yet integrally into a surging echo that burst out of Yanhuang Hall, out of the park, and into the vast boundless universe.
