Lin Xian was very concerned about this issue.

After all, Xu Yiyi was still lying in the hospital, and with her constitution as a long-term vegetative state... Lin Xian was very worried about whether she could live to see the advent of the hibernation pod.

However.

Professor Xu Yun didn't seem worried at all. He chuckled and said,

"That will probably take a long, long time. Perhaps humans will [never] be able to create the kind of hibernation pod in science fiction movies that can hibernate for hundreds or thousands of years."

"But that's not a big deal. For normal people like us, we don't need that kind of hibernation pod that lets us sleep for hundreds or thousands of years. It's not like we're on a long interstellar journey, why sleep for so long?"

"Just like vegetative people like Yiyi, or many patients with advanced cancer, they only need to be able to last for ten or even dozens of years longer, waiting for medical advances."

"According to my estimation..."

Xu Yun rested his chin on his hand, watching the mice jumping up and down as he thought:

"I expect—"

"If the country invests enough, a prototype hibernation pod that reduces human life activity by 10 times could be developed within two or three years."

"In fact, a 10-fold reduction is enough. Take Yiyi as an example, she only ages by 1 year for every 10 years she sleeps in the hibernation pod. And in these 10 years, medicine will advance, and science will also advance. Maybe even more advanced hibernation pods will appear."

Lin Xian nodded.

Indeed, Professor Xu Yun was more thoughtful.

"Then Professor Xu Yun, when do you plan to announce your research results?"

"At least a week."

Xu Yun said casually,

"I still need to organize my thesis, experimental data, and so on. But the news will probably be released in the next few days."

He seemed to suddenly think of something, picked up a piece of material from the side, and handed it to Lin Xian:

"Speaking of which, during my research, I accidentally obtained a byproduct. I have already sent it to my friend at the Longguo Aerospace Research Institute, and the same results have been verified."

He took out a few pages of information for Lin Xian to read.

There were very complicated molecular formulas and various chemical structures on it, which Lin Xian couldn't understand at all.

"What is this?"

"This is a hafnium compound, a new substance. This compound can be used to create a hafnium alloy, which is highly hard, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature resistant. Perhaps it will be useful in the aerospace field."

"Lin Xian, if you don't mind... I would like to publicly publish the experimental data of this hafnium alloy. Although I don't know what its use is, it can always promote some technological development."

Lin Xian nodded, of course, he didn't mind. The influence and progress between various disciplines are mutual, and they can always promote the take-off of technology.

"Then I'll leave, Teacher Xu. I won't disturb your research. I look forward to the day your paper is published."

…

A few days later.

Triple happiness arrived.

First, the news of "Professor Xu Yun of Donghai University Overcomes Key Hibernation Problem" topped the hot search, shocking the world.

No one expected that hibernation technology, which is considered advanced technology even in science fiction novels... would achieve a breakthrough in reality so quickly!

During this time, all the headlines that could be seen were about Xu Yun:

《Longguo Aerospace Research Institute Confirms that Professor Xu Yun will Announce a New Aerospace Material in the Near Future, and the Institute has Received Samples in Advance.》

《The United States Announces the Establishment of a Top-Level Laboratory to Specially Study Hibernation Technology, Aiming to Lead the Hibernation Era.》

《The Nobel Prize Review Committee Pays Close Attention to Professor Xu Yun’s Research Results, Saying that if the Published Paper is True, it will Nominate him for the Relevant Nobel Prize.》

《A Father’s Ten Years: Telling the Story Behind Xu Yun.》

Professor Xu Yun, who has been working silently for more than ten years, has finally made it.

From a "rat crossing the street" in the scientific research community.

He jumped to become a "bright pearl" attracting worldwide attention.

Another good news.

That is, the new product launch of MX Company, and the Rhine brand launch, were a complete success.

Not only did the pre-sale of the first product, the moisturizing cream, far exceed expectations, but even the Rhine cat doll given away with the first launch gift box became a hot topic, igniting a new wave of cuteness.

Thanks to the reputation fermentation of Professor Xu Yun, this gold-lettered sign.

This dimensionality reduction strike-like moisturizing cream... Pre-sale orders have been scheduled for the first half of next year, and it seems to be out of stock. The Rhine brand became a hit and became the hottest beauty brand at the moment.

As for the third happy event...

That is, Lin Xian himself enjoyed improved treatment.

22nd floor.

Zhao Yingjun's office.

"Lin Xian, I think you have also seen the online discussions about the Rhine cat. There is unanimous praise and love. Your design is truly amazing in today's fashion circle."

"We have received many joint authorization requests, not only from domestic companies... but also many famous foreign companies want to do joint designs."

"Therefore, in order to meet the huge business needs, the Rhine cat IP development team you are in must expand its staff and functions. My current plan is to expand your team to about 30 people."

"And you, Lin Xian..."

Zhao Yingjun leaned back in her chair, folded her arms and said:

"You have independent personnel and assessment rights. The recruitment and dismissal of the entire department is entirely up to you, and the salaries, compensation and year-end assessments of the department members are all up to you."

Lin Xian felt a little surprised by this news.

If the team is expanded to 30 people, his team will be the largest department in the entire company, comparable to a small company.

Moreover, giving himself the power to recruit people, personnel disposal rights, and the power to set salaries and assessments... This is an unprecedented situation in the company.

Currently, only the three vice presidents and Zhao Yingjun have independent personnel and assessment rights. A team leader like himself has such power... Is it a bit too much?

As if seeing through Lin Xian's thoughts, Zhao Yingjun smiled and continued:

"This is also the trust and recognition of you by our management. As for your position... since you like the work related to the Rhine cat very much, just continue to be the team leader."

"But your salary and benefits will be implemented according to the standard of the vice president, and you will enjoy equity incentives every year."

This is the treatment of a vice president?

He hasn't received his first salary as a team leader yet, and he is going to receive a vice president-level salary directly?

Lin Xian felt that he was like a game character with 999 slashes in a web game advertisement. His body was flashing with golden light and constantly upgrading, and various attributes were soaring at the speed of light.

But…

Lin Xian himself knew very well.

Zhao Yingjun gave himself such great power as an exception... The main purpose was to keep himself and prevent himself from running away.

In fact, even if she didn't do these things, Lin Xian wouldn't run away.

He really likes MX Company and admires Zhao Yingjun's style.

Moreover, there is one more thing...

If he leaves MX Company, he will only get further and further away from that invitation letter from the Genius Club, from this mysterious organization hidden in the historical fog.

Therefore.

Before seeing the contents of that invitation letter, he would definitely not leave MX Company easily.

"Also, there is one more thing." Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian:

"Your new office is probably ready by the logistics department. The new office is on the 20th floor, much larger than before. You can take a look."

"There's nothing else, you can go back first."

Bang.

After walking out of Zhao Yingjun's office, the heavy password door behind him closed automatically.

Lin Xian blinked.

He had only stayed in Zhao Yingjun's office for a few minutes just now...

But after coming out, it felt as if the world outside had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The scale of the Rhine cat IP development team has expanded, becoming the largest department in the company;

He has obtained independent personnel and assessment rights, which can be called a local emperor;

In terms of salary and compensation, he also enjoys the treatment of a vice president, and there are equity incentives every year;

His private office hasn't warmed up yet, and he was directly given a larger one, and it was also equipped with a safe.

Not to mention the authorization fees and sales share of that magical chemical substance that can be expected...

"It's a bit of an exaggeration, the upgrade is too fast."

Lin Xian rubbed his neck and walked towards the elevator.

The elevator opened on the 20th floor, and Lin Xian quickly found his new office.

The area was three times larger than before, and there was an extra lounge compartment, but there was no time to put beds, clothes racks, etc. in it.

In the office area, there is a large coffee table, a long sofa, two bookcases, some green plants, a luxurious wooden desk, a new desktop computer, and a new laptop.

In all aspects, it is much more advanced than the previous office on the 17th floor.

Lin Xian spent some time moving his personal belongings from the office on the 17th floor. This huge office was considered to have some life.

Lying on the comfortable boss chair, Lin Xian closed his eyes:

"I don't have to work overtime anymore."

"Tonight, I can finally go to the dreamland... and cut open that safe!"
