Chapter 190: Chapter 132: Favoritism

This time, he wrote about improving geothermal heating, combining the characteristics of a new air system.

Because it focused on practicality, he found this article easy to write.

It took only two days to write the article, then he handed both articles to Bentley to take them to the city and give them to Dai Xingyan.

President Dai almost cried when she saw the manuscripts, ”You finally remembered your promise to submit!”

After skimming through the manuscripts, she was a bit surprised, ”Why didn’t he deliver it himself?”

Qu Jianlei was busy helping Flower Scorpion with the Cultivation Technique calculations, so he couldn’t do it himself.

However, Bentley didn’t say this; he stated that Jian Lei didn’t have the identity of Houjing, so he couldn’t enter the city.

”Is that all it is? I can issue him a pass!” Dai Xingyan said, indicating this wasn’t a problem.

But Bentley refused, ”If he wanted to enter the city, he could get the documents easily. He’s not interested in socializing.”

”That’s a bit troublesome then,” Dai Xingyan said, frowning in frustration, ”These two articles... I’d like to discuss them with him.”

Despite her young age, her theoretical level in machinery repair was quite high.

In similar industry associations, if one’s ability wasn’t sufficient, no amount of family Energy could win people over.

But she truly couldn’t fully understand Qu Jianlei’s thinking and felt it necessary to communicate.

”Then go to the outskirts to find him,” Bentley replied matter-of-factly, ”I think he’s a bit off track with this.”

The Ultimate Warrior is that impressive, directly causing the president of an industry association to visit personally, and even complain about low earnings.

Nevertheless, Dai Xingyan didn’t mind, ”Then I’ll make a trip. This subsidy... is indeed a bit low.”

This subsidy would be impressive even for an A-level Maintenance Master, given that many in the maintenance industry still care about reputation.

If given to a B-level Maintenance Master, they’d probably smile in their sleep.

But Jian Lei was not just a Maintenance Master; he was a Modified Warrior, so this subsidy really fell short.

Dai Xingyan, being straightforward, went to the outskirts that afternoon and found Qu Jianlei.

Her first question was about the geothermal heating transformation, ”... I feel this modification approach uses Jin Ye’s heat exchange concept?”

”Other Gathering Areas have long had similar concepts,” Qu Jianlei replied earnestly, ”They just don’t have the means to publish their articles.”

”The problem is mainly the lack of materials, the heat exchange efficiency can’t be improved, and people often freeze to death in winter.”

Dai Xingyan thought about it and then said with difficulty, ”But these materials... are expensive.”

”You should know, in their eyes, the Celestial District is considered a remote wilderness, let alone other Gathering Areas?”

”But it concerns many lives,” Qu Jianlei responded seriously, ”Regardless of cost, I feel it’s necessary to bring it up.”

Dai Xingyan stared at him for about five seconds, then sighed lightly, ”You’re... a bit strange.”

Qu Jianlei didn’t think he was strange, ”I’m just proposing concepts, not responsible for solving problems.”

”Alright,” Dai Xingyan said, not intending to argue, instead expressing a bit of regret.

”Such articles can only be submitted to relatively low-level journals, and the subsidy won’t be high.”

Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, ”I’m just doing my part, it’s mainly because the Gathering Areas below have it too tough.”

”Central City doesn’t even see them as people,” Dai Xingyan couldn’t help but vent.

Then she reined in her emotions, ”What I mainly want to ask about is the bypass thinking for this sensor... quite an impressive idea.”

”What’s so impressive about it?” Qu Jianlei shook his head nonchalantly, ”It’s just rational resource utilization.”

”It’s very practical!” Dai Xingyan gave a thumbs up, ”I guarantee you’ll make it to ’Mechanical Mysteries.’”

’Mechanical Mysteries’ is the top-tier journal, it’s a very high praise for the article.

”The main issue is the constant shortage of materials, making rational use of existing resources extremely important.”

”However, I don’t quite understand some of your bypass operation ideas... Could we discuss them?”

Qu Jianlei nodded upon hearing this, ”Maybe there’s an issue with my terminology, you know, it’s my first time writing this.”

Dai Xingyan’s eyes lit up, ”That’s not an issue, just explain it to me in detail.”

”Explain it to you in detail,” Qu Jianlei looked at her curiously, ”Do you also review manuscripts?”

”Reviewing manuscripts...” Dai Xingyan’s eyes lit up even more, ”You even know about that?”

”Of course, I’m not qualified to review, but I plan to submit your manuscript to ’Mechanical Mysteries.’”

”They are biased against manuscripts from the Gathering Areas, so I need to personally explain the ideas...”

At that moment, her eyes shone like two light bulbs, ”Believe me, I can’t let such a great manuscript be ignored!”

Chapter 132 Preference (Fourth Update)

Qu Jianlei saw Dai Xingyan’s eagerness and almost thought she intended to plagiarize his article.

However, he understood her character a bit, so he quelled his suspicions and engaged in a discussion.

Dai Xingyan’s level was indeed high; after a brief twenty-minute discussion, she fully grasped Qu Jianlei’s ideas.

Then she left, confidently saying, ”Just wait for my good news.”

Qu Jianlei and Bentley discussed it, suspecting that Dai Xingyan might also be from Central City.

Ordinary people simply couldn’t enter Central City, not to mention persuading various journals.

However, twenty days later, Dai Xingyan returned, looking dejected, ”Have you written any new articles?”

”No, can’t manage it,” Qu Jianlei replied straightforwardly, ”Ben... Terry thinks repair work is more lucrative.”
