Chapter 75: A Completely Renewed Family Estate

After hearing that, Li Zhenfu rolled his eyes impatiently.

"If even this paper isn't good enough for Nature, I really can't imagine what kind of paper could get into this journal."

"Putting it that way, if they didn't publish this paper, they wouldn't have their current prestige, after all, such a journal is known for fairness."

"Not exaggerating at all, although this paper doesn't show any concrete results, it's merely some ideas and thoughts."

"Based on this paper alone, producing results would be impossible, but with its appearance, I'm certain your student must have achieved something remarkable."

"Even the results they have in hand could likely leapfrog today's battery technology by several years."

"Even I have a vague feeling that your student will probably give me, this old man, a big surprise soon!"

By the end, Li Zhenfu's face also couldn't help but show a hint of complex emotion.

Being able to become a top domestic Academician step by step, the old man naturally has his own pride, having risen from utter poverty to today.

One could say they have made countless achievements in the relevant field.

But now, upon seeing Li Mingyang's paper, the old man still can't help feeling a sense of defeat.

The old man scoffs at the idea that his lifetime of work might merely save a genius an afternoon.

In his view, even if one is a genius, what can they do? Can a genius create something from nothing?

All scientific research must be built up step by step, but after seeing Li Mingyang's paper, the old man indeed can't help doubting his earlier thoughts.

Of course, one can't outright deny that his ideas are wrong; perhaps his previous experience was insufficient, never having witnessed a true genius.

Those so-called geniuses aren't even up to Li Zhenfu's level, but now, seeing this paper, he truly feels like the preceding wave has been smashed on the shore.

Just this single paper has sparked many inspirations in the old man's mind; not exaggerating, once he digests it fully.

At least it could save him years of research in some aspect of battery technology.

But Li Mingyang? The author of this paper has only just entered university for a single semester.

Moreover, what they study isn't even in this field, although the appearance of this might just be their good luck.

But in scientific research, what matters is the result; as long as the outcome is achieved, the process isn't particularly important.

And luck is part of ability, isn't it?

Li Mingyang isn't really clear about his own school teacher's actions, and he doesn't even know he's already been eyed by a top Academician.

He's constantly thinking about poaching his teacher's corner, but Li Mingyang doesn't know about these things, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Because Li Mingyang has a clear plan for his own studies.

The only thing that could disrupt his study rhythm would be the rewards from his Heaven's Way Rewards Diligence System.

However, this system, in a sense, doesn't actually disrupt his rhythm; rather, it provides substantial assistance to his plans.

Take this high-energy battery, for example: whether he later makes drones or other flying vehicles.

In fact, this battery technology can be used; moreover, if utilized well, it can bring him heaps of funding.

With those funds, his future research could save a lot of time and effort.

Now that Li Mingyang has sent off his first paper, after returning home from break and being busy in his room all this time, he finally feels like going out for a walk.

While eating, he occasionally chats with his parents, and Li Mingyang also learns that the main construction of the old house is already finished.

It has entered the finishing stage of decoration; regarding this new home that never appeared in either his past or present life, Li Mingyang is still curious.

After all, in his previous life Li Mingyang wasn't so promising; his scholarships went straight into seven figures.

His family also lacked the funds to buy so many plots, yet they seized the era's end and built the house.

Moreover, since it's holiday season, the shop side actually has no business, so his parents aren't home.

After Li Mingyang went downstairs, he got on his mother's small tricycle and headed straight toward the old house—no, now we should call it the new house, right?

……

"Beautiful!"

Upon seeing the house's true appearance, Li Mingyang couldn't help but sigh.

The outermost is a circle of white walls and gray tiles, antiquated in look, giving a strong atmosphere.

Plus, the plot is large enough that from afar it looks like a grand, spacious courtyard.

Although the courtyard hasn't been planned yet, Li Mingyang already has some designs in mind, then comes the main building.

Unlike the old house that hugged the roadside, the new house is set back nearly 20 meters, leaving the front area as a front garden and entrance.

In the middle of the courtyard sits a typical Chinese-style compound building, not huge but not small either.

It likely covers about 200 square meters, a small two-and-a-half-story building, with indoor usable area no less than 400 square meters.

With this large courtyard, once everything is fully finished, this place will surely be an ideal spot for retirement.

Of course, if used for the business Li Mingyang mentioned earlier, such a vast plot is absolutely sufficient.

Carrying strong curiosity and a different sense of satisfaction, Li Mingyang wanders around every corner of this new house.

In his previous life, his parents tidied up this house only about ten years later, and back then the environment wasn't nearly this good.

They could only slightly alter the old house's structure, renovate it and make do; the backyard wasn't big either, just around 400 square meters.

It's nothing like now: excluding the main building, the courtyard alone conservatively estimates about 2500 square meters!

Compared to his previous life, this new home can be said to be completely renewed.

Besides that, the largest plot purchased has already been taken over by the boss who came forward, just as in his past life, preparing to invest and build a supermarket there.

And the only difference from Li Mingyang's memory is that this plot has become his own family's.

Even the rent has been settled, a 7-year contract signed directly; the other party will build the supermarket using temporary structures like color steel tile.

These costs are borne by the other party, and after subtracting them, over these seven years his family will still receive 200,000 in rent each year!
