Standing in front of the station is one of Akihabara's new landmarks, UPX.
In the lobby on the 4th floor, preparations have been made for the ATF and Akihabara Technology Forum speeches since the morning.
In cooperation with research facilities of multiple universities, seminars and symposiums are held here from time to time.
Dengeki University, where Lin Xiao is a student, is also involved as part of the industry-university cooperation function. Students from related research groups must also participate in these seminars and submit reports to their instructors.
If you don't do this, you won't get credit.
In this lecture, I participated as an assistant to Professor Tsuzaki, one of the speakers.
Lin Xiao is currently staying at the front desk in the public hall, holding a list to record the attendance of students participating in the seminar.
It was still some time before the seminar started, and there were only a few people in the hall. None of the students on the list had come yet.
It’s really free, all I can do is wait here.
For my previous self, it was unimaginable to be so diligent. The reason why I show myself like this is because I have a new goal in life.
Victor University, this is his current goal. Yamazaki is conducting joint research with this university and has a wide network of contacts. If he can be his assistant, it should be the first step towards his goal.
Use your own insufficient brain cells to think like this.
Moreover, this lecture will be followed by a seminar at Victor University in the summer.
Of course Lin Xiao is also very concerned about this matter, Xia Tian?
Suddenly, her figure flashed in my mind.
The reason why I want to go to Victor University is because I want to learn what Chris wants to do and continue it myself.
Of course, I am not a genius like Chris, so I will not say that I want to inherit all her research without knowing it.
But for me, at least 10%, if I can do it, I really can cheer myself up.
Thinking this, he smiled bitterly, and a voice sounded in the hall.
That one over there.
He raised his head and saw a girl coming from the direction of the elevator.
Overall, her height and physique are small, and she feels very little about everything. Only after going through puberty can she develop the unique charm of girls, so she shouldn't be an elementary school student.
Probably a middle school student?
She obviously has such a cute face, but this girl looks a little rustic.
The messy hair is messily draped on the back.
The same goes for the clothes. Even I can tell at a glance that there is no taste at all.
"Excuse me, where is the staff room?"
"Well, this is the seminar venue."
This is obviously not suitable for female middle school students. I guess I went to the wrong place.
"I know this kind of thing. It only takes a few times for me to repeat it."
"Ah, no, this is the first time I tell you this."
"But to me you are already the fourth one, all the way to this place."
The domineering girl took out a card from her arms.
This is the guest card issued to the participants of this lecture. The name and affiliation are printed on the front in Japanese and English.
well?
University of Victoria, Institute of Science.
This girl?
After comparing the cases and cards in front of me, I finally remembered.
"Ah, that's what happened. Where did you leave this card? You picked it up."
"This is the fourth time I've said this." The girl looked bored and raised another card to show Lin Xiao.
This is a card with a photo.
"well?"
I don’t know when I saw Krishna’s card in another world with the same design as this one.
The photo printed on the ID card is undoubtedly the girl in front of me.
"It's pronounced Hiyasada Maho, because no one can pronounce it well, no matter whether it's Chinese or Roman characters, so I'll make it clear to you."
"Um, a middle school student from Victor University?"
"Please talk nonsense at night. Why are there middle school students in the university?"
"This, this is also the case, does that mean he skipped a grade?" Lin Xiao said.
Skipping a grade is common, and Chris graduated from college at the age of 17.
Even if you say that such a young child is a graduate student.
"Let me confirm something with you first. You must be a little shocked now."
"For such a young child, you can't believe it?"
"Are you saying that you are so powerful at your age?"
"Ah, ah haha."
That's right.
"Look carefully at this. Maho pointed at a part of the ID card with his slender fingers. It's 1 year old."
"So I am an amazing adult woman, not a middle school student or an elementary school student."
As he spoke, he puffed up his chest.
Although it can't be said to be great at all, it looks like he is emphasizing that he is great.
"What does this face mean?"
"No! Sorry, I apologize."
I can't believe he is younger than me.
If I introduce it to Kiriko, he will probably talk about this legal loli and be ready to make a move.
Forget it, no matter where you go, you will be treated like this.
Well, I guess so.
"What did you say?"
"Ah no, it's nothing."
Speaking of which, the Brain Research Institute.
So this kid, or this woman might know Chris.
I resisted the urge to ask and checked the booklet recording the meeting again.
The lecture at Victor University was the last lecture today, also known as the finale.
Is Maho going to give a speech this time? It’s like Chris taking the stage during the summer speech.
No wait, that's not the case. Without this incident, Chris didn't give a speech in the summer at all. It was in another world line.
In this world that is everywhere now, before her speech in the summer.
"Are you going to take the stage today?"
"No, I'm here as an assistant, and I'm also responsible for translating."
Looking at the booklet again, it was written in the lecturer column that Alex's name, position was Victor's professor, and the theme was artificial intelligence revolution, which was a bit interesting.
"If you have time, I'd like to hear your words."
"Please accompany me."
"Ah, do you want to go to the office?"
Lin Xiao led her to the elevator and pointed out the location of the office.
"Thanks."
There was no reason to continue to pester her, so he nodded and returned to his place.
At this moment, the elevator door opened and a woman walked in.
The moment he recognized this woman's face, all the hairs on Lin Xiao's body stood up.
It turned out to be Mengyu, Lin Xiao tried his best to control himself from shouting out.
Calm down, this is another world line, Mengyu will not kill Mayu
The pupils behind the glasses were still lifeless, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
In order not to be seen through, Lin Xiao hurriedly looked away.
Mengyu tilted her head, but soon lost interest in Lin Xiao and walked towards Mahon.
"that?"
"Ah, you are from the magazine, right?" Maho said.
‘Interview as agreed.’
I don't know if I should say it's the same as before, or if I should say it's the same with this headphone cable, Mengyu can still only speak in a vague voice.
Professor Alex hasn't arrived yet, so he might ask you to wait a moment, Maho said.
"OK."
"Before the professor comes, would you like me to explain the outline of the system?"
"sorry to bother you."
After the two of them finished speaking, they walked away together and disappeared from Lin Xiao's sight.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, I took deep breaths repeatedly. Although I wanted to calm down, my heartbeat was hard to calm down.
Mengyu, is it you again?
It feels like an inner trauma is hindering me, an annoying feeling.
All the travel routes through Akihabara were attacked and suspended, and at night, it was like being shrouded in ominous clouds, just like that time.
You want to be here....
Or is it just that I think too much? Now Meng Yu is no longer a SERN person, but an ordinary person, not even Meng Yu.
We have nothing to do with SERN anymore. There is no way SERN is watching us.
Lin Xiao took another deep breath, took out the tranquilizer from his pocket, and drank it into his stomach with the mineral water he bought earlier.
It takes about 15 minutes for the drug to take effect, and this period of time should be very difficult.
With a self-deprecating smile on his face, he sat on the chair at the front desk.
On the front desk, there are brochures and flyers distributed to seminar participants, as well as folded flyers of information.
At this time, a text message came on the phone.
It was Zhenyu, so I sent a few text messages to her.
I couldn't help but look at the cover of the brochure. It seemed to be some kind of paper. It was a brochure distributed by the Yamazaki Hands-on Research Institute.
Chinese style paper, the paper that the man is publishing.
It records the theory about the practical use of time machines.
On that fateful July 8, Zhongti snatched the paper from his biological daughter and took it away.
They also know about this matter, only Zi Zi and Zhong Ti know about it.
I tried to flip through the brochure and briefly introduced the many suspected sciences and pseudosciences after World O. It can be regarded as an anecdote for the time being.
As the most advanced part of this department, the Chinese-style thesis appeared magnificently in the second half, Yamazaki concluded.
In short, Dr. Zhongti’s time machine theory has not been recognized by the public society at all.
He wanted to gain status, authority and fame at the expense of his own daughter, but this man got none of them.
Moreover, judging from the rumors, he seemed to have been placed under house arrest by the people at the research facility after the paper was published. I heard that he thought he was being treated very well, which is even more ridiculous.
For a period of time, he was reported and interviewed by many magazines, and he was also obsessed with it. Ironically, the paper was too correct and revolutionary.
Because of the fear that this paper would be leaked, controls were implemented.
Nevertheless, while sleeping, the question-and-answer battle over the paper began.
John said this about the time traveler from Bird 06, so it should be right.
The world will enter a war.
It's useless to think so much, just rest for a while.
After that, a few hours passed and the speech went on smoothly.
After Professor Yamazaki's seminar, students from Dengeki University went there and came back here again to kill time.
Lin Xiao also wants to listen to the lecture at Victor University.
Lin Xiao thought it was still early, so on the way to the venue, he happened to see Maho coming out of the staff room.
And a tall man, that person is Alexis.
Although I didn't want to eavesdrop, I saw the two people walking and talking with serious expressions and couldn't help but listen to the conversation.
The conversation was naturally in fluent English, so I didn't understand it very well, but judging from the tone of the conversation, I could tell that it was not an easy topic.
By the way, I seemed to have heard the word Chris in the conversation just now, and I really hate my poor English skills.
If I had known this earlier, I would have studied hard.
During this conversation, the two walked into the speaker's preparation room next to the UPX Theater.
Lin Xiao compiled the fragments of information that he had finally heard.
To be honest, there are many things.
There was a fire in Chris's house?
There was also the matter of stopping the investigation. Lin Xiao was very concerned when hearing these suspicious words.
When I was in a state of confusion, it was time for the speech to begin.
I had no choice but to enter the theater.
Although it can be roughly inferred based on the flow of people entering the theater just now.
The atmosphere in the theater was quite high, as college students were trying to earn credits for their livelihood or graduation, and listening to the future seminars, there was obviously a different atmosphere.
Audiences interested in cutting-edge science, as well as researchers, almost filled the entire venue.
This may be because researchers from Victor University have recently published papers in a series of magazines and have suddenly become the focus of attention.
Find a seat and sit.
With this in mind, Lin Xiao found an empty seat and sat down.
But seeing the person next to him, Lin Xiao couldn't help but shout out.
It's you again. Mengyu didn't talk to the people around her at all, and just kept typing on the mobile phone on her lap.
It seems that she is still the same as before. Who is she communicating with?
Unexpectedly, he left here as if transferred and looked for another empty seat. Almost at the same time as he sat down, Professor Alex appeared on the podium.
There was a burst of warm applause, but when the petite girl appeared next, the applause turned into whispers.
For Maho, this reaction was more expected, and she stood next to the professor with a judgmental expression.
Rather, the way the professor looked around the theater with the microphone in hand, he looked quite experienced.
Alex started his speech in English, and after the professor signaled, Maho also started to translate appropriately at the same time.
"Thank you all for hosting my seminar today. I am Alex, a research professor at Victor University, majoring in artificial intelligence theory."
"Then I am your assistant Maho, please give me your advice."
There was a commotion in the audience, the same reaction as when Lin Xiao met her for the first time.
But it's normal to have such a reaction.
"So, without further ado, let me introduce to you some of our latest research." Maho said.
"Although the theme this time is the artificial intelligence revolution, the system we will exercise next will exceed your imagination."
Ariax stood in front of the prepared laptop on the stage and started operating it.
"This computer is connected to a supercomputer from the Institute of Computer Integration."
Maho said.
"I'm sorry, because it is still under development and the program is very lacking in aesthetics and will overflow the screen."
"I would be embarrassed to be seen with such a cheap program. If any of you are engineers, you will definitely understand."
Some people understood the professor's joke, and the audience laughed.
"During the launch, let me explain the concept."
Hu Zongxian also set up another projector on the podium, which projected the concept map on the screen.
On the drawings, there are also various text translations for the general audience to understand. (To be continued)
