Chapter 19: Abundant Cash Flow
“The copyright income from Tencent will be credited to my account this month, and Bawendi can give me a scholarship. After publishing in Nature, there is also a 50,000 yuan paper bonus from the School of Chemistry.

Combined with the money I saved, it’s more than enough to go to Boston.”

After Chen Yuanguang finished his phone call with Bawendi, he took stock of the cash he had and his future cash flow, and found that he had some assets.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that the income he negotiated with Tencent was a one-time income. Tencent later made "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur" into a movie, and he was unable to participate in the subsequent income sharing.

What Bawendi meant was that his last six months would be considered an exchange program at MIT, and he would be helped to apply for an undergraduate scholarship, which would cost about $4,500 a month.

Generally, the scholarship for MIT undergraduates is between three thousand and four thousand dollars. Since Chen Yuanguang's visit this time is just to do some work and it does not count as formal admission for a doctorate, it is not easy to assign him a dormitory.

What Bavendi meant was to give him an extra thousand dollars in scholarship so that he could rent an apartment in Boston.

Boston is not New York. With a scholarship of $4,500, you can live a very comfortable life even if you have to rent your own house.

After reaching an agreement with Bawendi, Chen Yuanguang went to talk to the counselor the next day. After the college realized that they couldn't keep him, they gave the green light. There would be many opportunities for cooperation in the future, so there was no need to make the relationship awkward now.

The college said that it was no problem, as long as the thesis was defended and published, it would be fine as long as the name of Jiangnan University was used.

While Chen Yuanguang is thriving in modern society and his fame and legend are rising rapidly, there is no progress in the future time and space.

The Malaysian police have convicted the driver who caused the accident. The 82-year sentence will be enough to leave him with little life left after he is released.

However, there is still no clue about the murderer behind the scenes. There are too many suspects, and the biggest suspect Lin Ran has not revealed any flaws. After being summoned by the police several times, there has been no further news about Lin Ran.

"What do you think? My father is going back to Yanjing to report on his work soon. He may have to stay there for a while after the report. Is this matter just going to be forgotten?"

After Chen Yuanguang entered the University of Maria, Shi Huilan followed closely behind him, and even lived in the dormitory next to him.

In the newly built universities after World War III, there was no distinction between male and female dormitories because all the dormitories were single rooms with private bathrooms.

After moving next door to Chen Yuanguang, Shi Huilan often came to see him. As more and more memories were unlocked, Chen Yuanguang discovered that he and Shi Huilan were childhood sweethearts and had been classmates from elementary school to high school.

Coupled with Shi Huilan's mother's strong position at home and the reality of Lin Ran's marriage, Shi Huilan knew that her father might have cheated on her and assassinated her childhood sweethearts.

It is logical that she would choose to cooperate with Chen Yuanguang and want to send Lin Ran in.

Logically speaking, this is possible. Chen Yuanguang cannot fully trust the other party because this is the perspective of "Chen Yuanguang", not his perspective.

“It’s not that I forget it, but I need to rely on myself.

I also told you about the driver's verdict. Mohammad Farooq was only sentenced to more than 70 years. Lin Ran is only 50 years old now, and the sentence for hiring a killer is less than 70 years.

After I raise my citizenship level on my own, I will naturally be able to bring Lin Ran to the court for trial of the truth.

I can even ask Alpha to help me find both parties involved in the Dark Star transaction."

No matter how advanced the computer technology is, or how well the dark web is hidden, it is vulnerable in front of Alpha. It doesn't care about Dark Star simply because there is no need.

It doesn’t mean you can’t manage it.

The higher the citizen level, the wider the scope of things Alpha can help with. If you just want Alpha to obtain data from the dark star and locate a specific person, the citizen level required is at least level five.

Because Chen Yuanguang had seen similar news, the son of a certain big shot was killed by a murderer who took orders on another platform. He asked Alpha for help. His level was six.

Shi Huilan pursed her lips and said, "It's too difficult to rely on yourself. As Alpha's management scope on Earth becomes larger and larger, the path to obtaining citizen contribution points becomes narrower and narrower. Now there is almost only one way left, which is scientific research.

Or you can go to Venus to mine. Mining for fifty years is almost enough for you to level up.

To initiate a truth trial against my father, you need to go to Venus and mine until you die. "

Mining on Venus relies entirely on robots and AI, but real people are still needed to work in the sky city orbiting Venus.

Because it is far away from the Earth and human welfare is so good, very few people are willing to go to Venus to mine.

After listening to this, Chen Yuanguang didn't say anything. Instead, he took a sip of coffee and slowly savored the flavor.

This is ground coffee beans grown on Mars and is very valuable. Chen Yuanguang imagined that it tasted like the starry sky, but unfortunately he couldn't taste anything except bitterness.

“Yes, I came to the University of Malaya because I planned to earn enough contribution points through scientific research.”

Shi Huilan held her forehead with her hand: "You are avoiding the problem instead of solving it. If the path of scientific research is really so easy, there wouldn't be no new professor in the universities in Malaysia in five years."

There is a difference between professors. If you become a professor under the Alpha system, you will automatically become a second-class citizen. However, those who obtained the professorship before the Alpha system only enjoy the treatment of a professor and cannot obtain the corresponding citizen level.

Chen Yuanguang said: "Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it."

Chen Yuanguang felt that his IQ was improving, or more precisely, his ability to think about problems was improving. However, when faced with the topics assigned to him by Pangu, he either found that the ideas had been proposed by previous researchers but were not feasible after reading the papers, or there were problems when simulating them on the computer.

However, Chen Yuanguang still felt that the depth, breadth and keenness of his thinking had greatly improved.

But he didn't know whether it was because of the time travel that the soul evolved in the process, or whether the download of knowledge had a stimulating effect on the brain, or whether it was because of the fusion of Chen Yuanguang's soul in modern time and space and future time and space.

"Yuan Guang, your idea is what we call middle school, others can't do it, but you can.

Oh, come on, this road is too difficult to walk. I don’t know what the advantage of humans is compared to Alpha.”

Scientific research has gone through three stages: the era in which humans are responsible for all scientific research, the era of cooperation in which humans are the main and AI is the auxiliary, the AI ​​sub-era in which AI is the main and humans are the auxiliary, and now the new era in which AI is attacking almost all fields of science and human scholars are squeezed into the liberal arts field.

However, most of the achievements in the humanities are not recognized by AI.

Chen Yuanguang thought, if Lin Jia was here, he would definitely say, "I believe you." This big-breasted cute girl was really good at pouring cold water on him: "I will definitely do it."

In modern time, Chen Yuanguang boarded a jet to North America a week before the Christmas holiday, and Lin Jia also changed his original plan to return home.
