"If I don't wake up now, I probably won't ever wake up again."
Wang Shu offered a wry smile. He never expected to faint while singing today.
Fortunately, he had woken up now. Otherwise, after midnight tonight, he would have been unable to wake up anymore.
"Quick, hand me my phone. I have one very important thing to do!"
Wang Shu glanced at the phone on the table, and with great excitement, he said to Xu Yunshang.
Although she didn't understand why Wang Shu was suddenly so agitated, did this phone hold some secret?
However, Xu Yunshang still handed the phone to Wang Shu, then sat quietly by the bed, watching him.
Having received the phone, Wang Shu dared not delay for a moment. He rapidly recalled the relevant knowledge in his mind and then completed the half-finished thesis.
Time ticked by. Wang Shu even closed his eyes several times in the process, but his survival instinct quickly brought him back, continuing to work on the thesis.
Xu Yunshang by his side dared not disturb Wang Shu. Seeing his serious expression, she could only quietly pray for his speedy recovery.
It wasn't until 11:50 PM that Wang Shu finished the thesis and quickly sent it to the Dragon Science Academy's email.
"Ding! Host has unconditionally contributed the '1nm Taotie Mobile Chip Technology' to the nation. Contribution +50!"
"Exchange for thirty days of life!"
Wang Shu said directly with his consciousness.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully extending life by 30 days."
"Contribution Points: 20"
"Lifespan: 30"
As the system's prompts flashed rapidly, Wang Shu instantly felt a warm current flow through his body, and most of his fatigue dissipated.
"Finally, I don't have to die."
Wang Shu, relieved, placed the phone on the bed and then collapsed onto it.
Wang Shu's reaction even startled Xu Yunshang.
"Are you alright?"
Xu Yunshang asked, looking at Wang Shu.
"Don't worry, I can't die now. After resting for a night, I'll be full of energy tomorrow!"
Wang Shu said with a smile, looking at the worried young girl in front of him.
"Hmph, if you don't get better soon, I won't care about you anymore."
Seeing Wang Shu's demeanor, Xu Yunshang felt much more at ease, pouting playfully.
...
"Miss, where did this patient go?"
The next morning, a nurse woke the sleeping Xu Yunshang and asked.
"The patient? Isn't he in bed?"
Xu Yunshang was puzzled. She then looked towards the hospital bed and found no sign of anyone there.
On the table beside the bed, only a small notebook remained.
"Little girl, thank you for taking care of me for so long. I have nothing to repay you with, so I'll give you these few songs. Farewell!"
Looking at the words in the notebook, Xu Yunshang's tears flowed uncontrollably.
That Wang Shu fellow must have been worried about burdening her, so he secretly ran away under the cover of night.
But his condition was still so serious. Leaving the hospital like this, what if something happened? It would be extremely dangerous.
Why was that fellow so foolish!
Xu Yunshang closed the notebook, her heart filled with worry.
...
At this moment, Wang Shu was already on his way back to Jinzhou.
Wearing a baseball cap and a mask, Wang Shu sat by the window, watching the scenery flash by, feeling much better.
He would never forget this near-death experience for the rest of his life.
Even more unforgettable was that little girl Xu Yunshang. He had never imagined that in this world, he would meet a girl so loyal and kind to him.
Even at the critical moment of his life, this girl had stayed by his bedside without leaving.
One day, he would surely make Xu Yunshang a queen-level superstar, renowned worldwide!
However, for now, he didn't even know how long he could live.
...
Beijing, Dragon Country Academy of Sciences, Network Duty Room.
Chen Mao rushed to the office early in the morning.
If it hadn't been his son's birthday yesterday, he wouldn't have gone home for anything.
So this morning, he came early to man the duty room, for fear of missing a message from that master.
However, after opening his computer and accessing the official email of the Dragon Science Academy, he scanned through a pile of emails and then suddenly discovered that the master had sent another file.
And the sending time was 11:50 PM last night!
Instantly, Chen Mao beat his chest and stamped his feet, full of regret.
He had missed another opportunity to contact the master at the earliest possible moment!
It was all his unlucky son's fault. Why did he have to celebrate a birthday? He would give him a good thrashing later!
However, despite losing an opportunity to communicate with the master, Chen Mao still took a serious look at what Wang Shu had sent.
"1nm mobile chip technology! Taotie!! What a powerful name, 1nm chip, this is precisely the blank area for Dragon Country!"
Looking at the paper, Chen Mao was overjoyed. The contents of this email today were overwhelmingly surprising.
After all, even though they had obtained the 1nm lithography machine last time, the related chip design and research had not reached the 1nm domain.
Therefore, this 1nm lithography machine, while advanced enough, could not be fully utilized.
Unexpectedly, this time, the master had even donated the chip technology!
Once this Taotie chip was manufactured, who among the foreign powers would dare to question the authenticity of the 1nm lithography machine!
After saving this confidential material to the Dragon Science Academy's database, Chen Mao edited another email back to Wang Shu.
The email mostly consisted of words of gratitude and invitations for Wang Shu to visit the Dragon Science Academy for guidance.
Although Chen Mao had sent many emails and invitation letters to Wang Shu's mailbox before, and had not received any replies, Chen Mao still made sure to rewrite each email.
Because he didn't want the master to feel he was being perfunctory.
When Chen Mao reported this latest scientific research material to Qi Junguo, Qi Junguo was also overjoyed.
Originally, it was a great achievement for the academy to possess the 1nm lithography machine, and they had even received commendations from higher authorities.
However, in the period after the lithography machine was introduced, they discovered that no technology company or chip design enterprise could design a 1nm chip.
Therefore, this 1nm lithography machine was left gathering dust in the academy, unable to exert its powerful capabilities.
Consequently, the Dragon Science Academy was once pushed to the forefront by some malicious media, questioning the authenticity of this lithography machine!
Foreign powers had also intensified their crackdown on Dragon Country's chip business. Now, many companies in Dragon Country were unable to produce chips for mobile phones and other smart devices.
It was precisely because of this series of reasons that many domestic research institutions and high-tech enterprises held considerable resentment towards the Dragon Science Academy.
