The general public is completely unaware of the true reasons behind the establishment of the天才少年班 (Genius Youth Class) by the state, nor do they know where these young geniuses go after graduation. The media deliberately avoids these questions and has never reported on them. They only come out during the annual recruitment to hype up the Genius Youth Class, making every teenager feel honored to join this group. Then, the media falls silent.

This situation, of course, is the result of instructions from certain departments.

To absorb the elite forces of the nation's youth, the state naturally needs the news media to extensively report on how great and special the Genius Youth Class is. This helps the biennial recruitment efforts achieve good results.

Once the students graduate, their destinations become a blind spot for the public. People only hear that the graduates of the Genius Youth Class are assigned jobs, but they don't know where they are assigned.

Only a few people know the answer—after graduation, these young geniuses all join the National Revitalization Plan.

The so-called National Revitalization Plan aims to significantly enhance the country's overall scientific research level through the participation of a few elite individuals. Especially in weaker fields, the state hopes to catch up with Western developed countries in a short time, or at least narrow the gap.

Of course, elite individuals can also be found through traditional teaching and selection methods, but the time cycle involved is much longer.

Calculating by the normal age of entry, it usually takes until around 21 or 22 years old for a student to graduate from university. Moreover, if a top student stays with a group of average classmates for a long time, their competitiveness will decline. A student who was originally very talented might end up being just somewhat talented, which is a loss, right?

But what if we start specialized training for exceptionally outstanding teenagers at the age of 14 or 15? This could greatly shorten the teaching cycle and quickly expand the research team. Plus, having these elite individuals study together objectively strengthens their competitive awareness, making them strive for excellence. Isn't this making them even more elite?

Based on these reasons, the state proposed the Revitalization Plan and established the Genius Youth Class according to the principle of putting people first, hoping to accelerate the country's progress in scientific research through this method.

In fact, after more than ten years of accumulation, the graduates of the Genius Youth Class have indeed achieved great success in some areas. For example, the formula mentioned by Zhang Zhongzhou was developed by a graduate of the Genius Youth Class.

This formula is related to national water conservancy projects. As is well known, the world's largest hydropower units are in China, and this formula is used in these largest hydropower units in the world. It is actually a lubricant, primarily used to reduce the high temperature and heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the power generation units, thereby extending the operating time and service life of the machines.

Currently, only China has mastered this technology, and other countries with large water conservancy facilities are extremely envious of this technology. Some countries have even resorted to special means to try to obtain this technology, which shows the importance of this technology.

As for why Zhang Zhongzhou could recognize the molecular formula just by seeing the molecular equation, it's because this achievement was developed by one of his students. He provided some assistance to this student's research back then, so he is very familiar with the chemical molecular formula of this formula.

He had the courage to use the experimental process as a test question because no one would think that such an important formula would appear in a test. Even if some people knew about it, solving this problem is not something an ordinary person can do.

This is because it involves a very rigorous experimental process, with extremely precise requirements for the timing and the amount of chemical reagents used. Otherwise, a certain country had already obtained samples of the results, but after four or five years of research, they still haven't found the manufacturing method. This shows how difficult it is to crack this achievement, especially considering that this country has the highest scientific research level in the world today!

What Zhang Zhongzhou never expected was that Chen Mo actually deduced such a complex experimental process! Even more unbelievable is that Chen Mo didn't even do the experiment! The chemical molecular formula he wrote is the standard answer!

This is why Zhang Zhongzhou was so shocked when he saw Chen Mo's answer. If it weren't for the confidentiality regulations, he might have directly asked, "Chen Mo, have you seen the chemical molecular formula of this formula before? Or have you done this experiment before?"

Professor Hu refused to let Chen Mo graduate early mainly due to confidentiality concerns. Since the work and studies of graduates involve state secrets, each graduate is required to sign a confidentiality agreement and undergo extremely strict ideological and political assessments.

If your ideological and political assessment scores are too low, you will receive very ordinary professional education. Otherwise, the state would have wasted a lot of effort in training you, only for you to be absorbed by another country due to a lack of firm will. This would be a clear waste of effort, and the state would never do such a foolish thing.

However, the overall situation is still good. Since the students of the Genius Youth Class have grown up under the red flag and have received patriotic education, there has never been a case of a student from the Genius Youth Class having ideological issues.

But everyone understands the principle of preventing small problems from becoming big ones. It's better to be prepared for the worst. Any matter must be considered comprehensively to ensure the smooth implementation of the "National Revitalization Plan."

Zhang Zhongzhou is very clear about these matters. After hearing Professor Hu's words, he felt quite sorry for Chen Mo. He believes that Chen Mo will definitely be a strong force in scientific research in the future. However, due to confidentiality concerns, Chen Mo can only be put on hold for a while. According to the tradition of the Genius Youth Class, this period is at least two years.

While Zhang Zhongzhou was feeling sorry for Chen Mo, the office door was knocked on. A woman's voice came from outside: "Teacher Zhang, I'm Tian Tian. Director Wu from the Academic Affairs Office said you were looking for me?"
