Rebirth: All Patents, Cutting off the European and American Tech Tree

Not everyone reads newspapers or news regularly.

And not everyone cares about relatively niche figures in the mathematics world.

But what if they are fellow students preparing for the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao)?

Nearly 4 million Gaokao students.

At least half have seen Chen Hao's news!

"Chen... Chen..."

The chubby boy pointed at Chen Hao, his hand trembling uncontrollably.

"It's you! The... the guru?!" the dark, skinny boy exclaimed.

Only the refined boy, though surprise flashed in his eyes, didn't get too excited.

Coming back to his senses, he even frowned slightly.

Suddenly!

The chubby guy ran to rummage through the cabinets.

He quickly found a camera and stuffed it into the skinny boy's hands: "Quick... help me take a photo with Brother Hao!"

After speaking.

He leaned on Chen Hao's shoulder like a little bird.

It's just that this bird...

Is a bit fat!

Brother Hao?

Chen Hao was dumbfounded: "Aren't I the fourth oldest?"

The genius who solved the Sunflower Conjecture!

A mathematics guru!

A shoo-in for the Fields Medal!

To ordinary college students, Chen Hao isn't even a student, but a master.

Even.

More awesome than a professor in the Mathematics Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University!

"If he's the boss, what about me?"

The refined boy was unhappy.

His family was well-off, and he grew up spoiled, always competing to be number one in everything.

Including the ranking in the dormitory.

If ranked by age, he was younger than the other two.

Unable to bear being ranked last, he proposed that whoever arrived at the dormitory first would be the boss—thus, he became the boss.

Now.

Those two guys are bowing down to Chen Hao.

"Brother Hao is a guru, if he doesn't become the boss, who will?" the chubby boy said enthusiastically, but with a fiery temper.

"Brother Hao!"

The dark, skinny boy introduced himself to Chen Hao with a smile: "My name is Bai Tong, and I'm from Guangdong!"

"I'm from Su Province," Chen Hao chuckled.

He looks like a black charcoal ball, but his name is Bai Tong (White Tong).

Where's the white?

"Sun Yue, from Hebei!" the chubby boy laughed.

"Pfft!"

This time Chen Hao really couldn't hold back.

He remembered that fat guy from the later generations, famous in the crosstalk world—and he had a few similarities.

"What's wrong?" the chubby boy asked, puzzled.

"Nothing..." Chen Hao shook his head.

"Brother Hao, why didn't you bring any luggage?" Bai Tong asked.

"Too much trouble, I'll buy some later."

"Brother Hao, I'll go with you?" Sun Yue immediately volunteered.

"Me too, let's go!" Bai Tong chuckled.

The two roommates were very enthusiastic.

Only...

Chen Hao had long noticed the refined boy's displeasure.

However, he didn't care.

If people respect me one foot, I'll respect them ten feet.

Do I have to accommodate even the attitudes of strangers in this new life? Isn't that too tiring?

He wants an unrestrained life.

Instead of offering a warm face to a cold shoulder!

...

An hour later.

With Sun Yue and Bai Tong's help, all kinds of daily necessities were bought and sent back to the dormitory.

Needless to say.

Chen Hao treated them to lunch.

At a food stall outside the school, they ate their fill for only 50 yuan.

"Brother Hao, is there anything else you need? Just tell us!" Sun Yue said, his mouth full of oil.

"Yeah, yeah, just say it," Bai Tong nodded.

"That's all," Chen Hao smiled, took out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, and stuffed them to the two: "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'll take my leave first."

"Brother Hao, I don't smoke," Bai Tong quickly said.

"Zhonghua cigarettes!"

The chubby boy took Bai Tong's pack as well.

You don't smoke?

I'll smoke them!

Watching Chen Hao's back, the chubby boy was especially happy: "As expected of Brother Hao, so generous, tsk tsk... A great mathematician is just on another level!"

"Old Two (the refined boy) doesn't get along with Brother Hao, how will they get along in the future?" Bai Tong was a little worried.

Chen Hao was recognized as the big brother by the two.

The refined boy can only be ranked second.

"Just him?"

The chubby boy said with some disdain: "If he wants to play with us, he plays, if he doesn't want to play, he can get lost—always wanting to compete for first place, without even looking at his own skills, I can't stand him!"

"Not to mention skills, just in terms of character, he can't compare to Brother Hao."

On the other side.

After Chen Hao separated from the two, he walked a good distance before dialing a number.

Soon, a Mercedes-Benz slowly drove up.

"Sister Ya,"

Chen Hao handed over the keys: "I live in the staff residential area, the specific building is written on the keys, please get some daily necessities for me, thank you."

"This is my job," Meng Ya took the keys.

"I'm taking the car, I have something to do."

"Okay!"

Meng Ya handed over the car keys.

The Mercedes-Benz drove towards a five-star hotel.

He was going to see General Wang.

He had promised that after finding the elites on the list, he would help establish secret research centers in several cutting-edge fields.

...

A certain five-star hotel.

Executive suite.

"This is too much!"

An old man said with a gloomy face, bursting with anger: "What does this mean?! We arrived the day before yesterday, yesterday we waited from afternoon until night, and now there's still no news—what do they think we are?!"

"That's right! Trying to act high and mighty with us? What a joke!"

"They don't even know who they are anymore!"

The other old men were also very angry.

This time, more than fifty people came in total.

These old men were the most famous and had the highest status in different fields.

Who would dare to be so disrespectful?

Knock, knock, knock!

A knock sounded on the door.

"Leaders, General Wang invites you to come over, saying that the meeting can begin."

"He's here?"

One of the old men stood up abruptly, his face full of anger: "I want to see who this is, let's go!"

In a short while.

More than fifty people gathered in the conference room.

For safety reasons, not only was the hotel booked, but hotel staff were not allowed to enter certain areas, such as this conference room.

Everyone had just arrived when General Wang walked in, with two people in tow.

One was an assistant.

The other...

Was Chen Hao.

"General Wang, where is the person?!"

The angriest old man's face became even more unsightly: "What does this mean? Still not coming? Still playing us for fools?!"

"Old Yun, let me introduce you, this is Chen Hao," General Wang said with a smile.

Whoosh!

Streams of gazes locked onto Chen Hao.

First was confusion.

Then great anger.

Judging from General Wang's meaning, this little fellow was... the person they were supposed to meet?

They were all elites in their respective fields, gathered here from all over the country, just to see a snot-nosed kid?

"Little Wang! What are you up to?!"

Another old man roared, pointing at Chen Hao and shouting: "The higher-ups called us here just to see this little brat? Are you kidding me?!"

General Wang was greatly alarmed.

Just as he was about to explain, Chen Hao spoke first: "General Wang really made a mistake."

"Ah?" General Wang was puzzled.

"The list I gave only had a dozen or so people, how could... so many people come?"

"It's not..."

General Wang hurriedly explained: "It's like this!"

For example, Pan Wei was on Chen Hao's list, and Pan Wei was involved in quantum technology, so they simply invited some domestic experts in the quantum field.

The higher-ups did this with good intentions, thinking that there is strength in numbers.

"General Wang, please send the others back," Chen Hao said.

This sentence.

Instantly ignited the powder keg!
