Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 580: 230, this is not quite like the scientist I had in mind!_1 Chapter 580: 230, this is not quite like the scientist I had in mind!_1 The scene in the grand conference room was indeed very difficult to comprehend.

The people sitting around were mostly over fifty years old, with a considerable number even in their sixties or seventies.

At a glance, it looked like a convention for elderly health supplements.

However, the person standing at the foremost position was a young man who appeared to be just over thirty, brimming with energy and vigor.

Any casual photo taken from any angle would definitely create an immense contrast.

Especially since the eyes of these middle-aged and elderly folks were filled with admiration, and even worship when looking at Lin Mo, which only added to the awkward atmosphere.

At that moment,

the top technical experts in the field of Grand Xia’s engine technology, upon hearing that Lin Mo finally allowed questions, all became as eager and enthusiastic as elementary school students.

…

“I’ll ask first!”

“Let me do it!!”

“Teacher Lin, please let me ask my question first!”

“My question is rather simple, no matter what, you must let me ask first!”

“Everyone calm down, even if we are to ask questions, we should have an order, and if we simply argue over this, maybe we won’t come to a conclusion even after a day and a night.

I suggest this: let’s go by age, the oldest can ask first, what do you all think?”

Among us, you’re the oldest, so basically, you just want to ask first.”

“No way, absolutely not, I suggest the youngest asks first.

We, who are in our forties, are the backbone of our research, and you older predecessors should let us ask first!”

“The old ask first!”

“The young ask first!”

In the grand conference room, everyone’s words clashed with one another, and nobody was willing to give way.

The atmosphere gradually turned into what seemed like a quarrel, quite lively indeed.

Lin Mo had never experienced such a scene and felt at a loss.

He wanted to say something to regain control, but he realized no one was listening to him anymore.

The arguments between everyone grew fiercer, and even the most antiquated grievances were dug up and aired out.

Even the schools they had attended were used as ammunition for the argument.

Utterly chaotic!

Liu Limin looked around at the people, sighed helplessly and waved his hand at Lin Mo, who was at the podium, saying, “Comrade Lin Mo, put on the headphones.”

He pointed to the Bluetooth headphones in his own hands and then to those lying next to Lin Mo at the podium.

Lin Mo got the hint, picked up the headphones and put them on his left ear.

Liu Limin’s voice followed: “Comrade Lin Mo, sorry to have put you on the spot.”

“That’s just how intellectuals are.

It’s easy for them to start arguing over some issues.”

“It’s also because everyone’s been living in the secluded environment of the military factory for a long time.

Arguing also serves as a way to stay physically active.”

A bead of cold sweat was about to fall from Lin Mo’s forehead.

He had just begun to favor the environment of the military factory and even fantasized that even if he stayed here for a while, it would be quite a good thing, but he never expected reality to hit him hard so fast.

Boy,

this place is indeed quite messy.

Lin Mo took a deep breath to calm himself, lowered his voice and asked, “Elder Liu, what do you think we should do in this situation?”

“These old gentlemen haven’t slept all night.

If they keep arguing like this, if someone can’t control their blood pressure, that could indeed become a serious problem.”

The last thing the elderly need is to get overly agitated – Lin Mo’s grandfather was a testament to that, having been prone to losing his temper and living an unstable emotional life, which led to various illnesses in his old age and a not so happy final chapter in life.

“No worries, they are not the delicate college students out in society.

They are used to arguing and heated discussions,” reassured Liu Limin, not overly concerned about the matters at hand.

He lowered his voice and reminded, “But you’ll need to avoid open-ended questions in the future.

Even for asking questions, you must address people directly by name.”

“Just like a teacher calling roll in class!”

“Old kids, old kids…

you can’t treat them like young people, just treat them as kids, that’ll do.”

Could that really work?

Lin Mo was half-convinced by Liu Limin’s words, as he had never gone through such a scenario before.

Given the current situation, however, it was like beating a dead horse into running – may as well try.

Since he had nothing to lose, it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot.

He looked around the room, took a deep breath, pressed the amplifier on the podium and said, “Uh…

could I please have everyone quiet down.”

“If you really want to argue, you go ahead.

I’ll go rest for a bit, and when you’re done, I’ll come back and we’ll continue this discussion.

Honestly, after sitting on a flight all day, I am indeed quite tired!”

Lin Mo didn’t waste words with them.

After saying his piece, he turned around and was ready to head down from the podium.

This was his contingency plan.

If everyone stopped arguing, then Lin Mo would continue addressing their queries, but if they really didn’t want to halt their debate, then he would definitely leave the meeting room.

He had realized by now that high-caliber scientists were nothing like he had imagined.

A significant number among these bigshots seemed to carry symptoms of obsession, like barrels of gunpowder that could explode with even the slightest provocation.

And when the experts on site saw that Lin Mo was truly about to leave, their expressions one by one became tense.

They had waited an entire night just to get answers to the questions in their minds from Lin Mo.

If he truly left, they feared that they wouldn’t be able to get a good day’s rest.
