Chapter 662: Extra 13

"Knock, knock, knock."
A crisp knock suddenly rang out, instantly interrupting the violent killing intent churning in Su Yun's mind.
He took a deep breath, and when he lifted his eyelids again, his eyes had regained their usual calm and gentleness.
"Come in."
"Team Leader!" A researcher respectfully pushed open the door, carrying a thick stack of documents.
"This is the project report, completely corrected according to the loopholes you pointed out earlier!"
"Oh, put it here. Thank you for your hard work." Su Yun nodded slightly.
"And also!" The researcher looked at Su Yun with fervent admiration.
"The heads of the other project teams just said in the group chat that they're coming over as a group later to thank you in person!"
"Thank you? There's no need for that..." Su Yun frowned.
"Oh, team leader, don't be so modest!" The researcher exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.
"Those hellish problems that had been stumping all the teams for almost half a year, you solved them with just one glance!
You have no idea, those usually arrogant experts, when they saw those few lines of derivation formulas you casually scribbled next to the rectification report, it was like a blind man suddenly regaining his sight—they were all so excited they burst into tears on the spot!
You didn't see that scene, it was fucking shocking!"
Several months had passed since Su Yun parachuted into the Gaia Center.
During this time, Su Yun didn't rush to build his own team for development. Instead, like a max-level character returning to the starting area, he thoroughly reviewed and "approved" all the dead-end projects that were holding up the various teams at the Gaia Center.
With his brain, whose computing power rivaled that of a quantum computer, he effortlessly cracked the technical bottlenecks that had held others back for half a year, or even years, like playing Minesweeper.
"Thanks to your godlike performance, team leader, the project progress at the Gaia Center has increased more than fivefold!
Without your guidance, those experts would still be stuck in the mud!"
The researcher's flattery was deafening and completely heartfelt.
But Su Yun remained unmoved. He knew very well that he wasn't here to be a babysitter for these ordinary people.
"Those were just warm-ups. Now that we've cleaned up the mess from the beginning, it's time to launch our team's independent projects.
Is everyone ready?"
The researcher jumped to attention, eyes gleaming:
"No problem! Team leader! We've been itching for this lately, everyone's like a loaded gun, ready to charge into battle for you!
Just give the order, and we'll go through fire and water, sleeves rolled up, and get to work!"
"Very good." Su Yun nodded, then dropped a bombshell in the most calm tone:
"Then, I plan to launch a multi-pronged attack, starting with three strategic projects, advancing them simultaneously.
You guys have the capacity to handle the pressure, right?"
"...Huh?"
The researcher's fervor froze instantly, his previously enthusiastic tone splitting into a scream like a chicken being choked:
"...What? Team leader, you mean...three strategic projects, running at the same time?"
"Hmm. This is just the initial minimum."
Su Yun, seemingly oblivious to the other person's near-explosive expression, continued explaining,
"To be honest, I currently have over twenty projects in my head that I've conceived and are ready to implement at any time.
But considering your brain capacity and liver function might not be able to handle it, it's unrealistic to launch them all at once.
So I've decided to start with three simple ones, proceeding step by step."
The researcher, who was just a moment ago yelling about charging forward, now looked as if he'd swallowed a toad whole.
Three simple ones.
Proceeding step by step.
Is this even human?!
If anyone else had said this, he would have spat a mouthful of coffee in their face, but it was Su Yun!
Everyone in the center knew that Su Yun, this handsome, stern workaholic, had no concept of "joking."
He said that starting three projects simultaneously meant it really was a case of "work them all to the bone, as long as you don't die from overwork!"
"Then...which three should we do first?" The researcher swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
Su Yun pulled a long list from his drawer and handed it to him:
"Send this list of 20 potential projects to headquarters via encrypted channel."
"To headquarters?"
"Yes. Such an important matter must be personally selected by the...Chairman."
Su Yun's eyes suddenly became incredibly devout.
"Whatever he chooses, we'll immediately pour all our manpower and resources into it, and work like crazy to build it!"
The researcher was completely dumbfounded.
Usually, the Gaia Center decides on projects internally and submits them for funding approval.
How can you let the incredibly busy chairman choose research topics like this?
You know, exploring uncharted territory in scientific research is most dangerous when outsiders instruct insiders, especially since "prioritizing" research projects is an extremely profound subject.
It's not just about calculating the probability of a technological breakthrough, but also predicting its chain reactions and historical trajectory.
Even the top think tanks wouldn't dare make a definitive conclusion on this; it would take three days and three nights of heated debate with the most brilliant experts to reach a conclusion.
And now, they're asking the chairman, busy reviewing financial statements in his business building, to look at this scribbled mess of quantum mechanics, genetic engineering, and astrophysics, and even to decide on the research and development project?
It's like asking a butcher to direct brain surgery—pure absurdity!
However, in Su Yun's near-divine wisdom, this was the most logical explanation.
Mortal wisdom is, after all, limited; even he himself could only see a partial future.
But his father was completely different!
In Su Yun's almost pathologically worshipful understanding, his father's intuition was always absolutely correct!
No computing power in this world could surpass his father's choices.
Even what seems like the ramblings of a madman will ultimately be proven to be a grand, futuristic plan!
Father's decisions are the absolute truth of this universe!
It is divine revelation! It is a divine oracle!
