Chapter 3346 This is our Taegukgi!
Two days later.
Professor Adam's office!
A well-dressed little old man followed William into the office, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open.
Adam was reading a book when he heard the sound. He put the book down and saw William push the door open and enter, followed by a short man.
After quickly glancing at William, who was leading the group, Professor Adam turned his attention to the people behind him.
My first impression was that this person was not good-looking, and my second impression was that he should be a Japanese person, not a Korean person.
However, the fact is that this person is from South Korea.
"Professor, this is Professor Choi Min-ho, from Incheon University in South Goguryeo. He is a very authoritative expert professor with a very thorough understanding of Han culture, and he is the one I specially invited to cooperate with you this time."
William introduced the situation with a smile, and Adam got up and walked over.
Seeing this, William smiled and quickly stepped aside, revealing Choi Min-ho behind him.
Choi Min-ho was short and thin, and looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He wore large glasses, and his small eyes gleamed behind them, but his face wore a fawning smile.
He came to Britain with a special purpose.
Before he set off, relevant personnel from the government departments specifically approached him, saying that this was a very important operation, and if they could cooperate well, their country could establish connections with Britain and thus gain Britain's favor.
For him, this could also lead to great success.
It should be noted that there are not many people in China who study Chinese literature. In addition, the campaign to abolish Chinese characters that began in the 1970s put those who make a living from studying Chinese literature at risk of unemployment.
In addition, their domestic economic development has stagnated in recent years.
First, two outbreaks of disease cast a shadow over their economy.
Subsequently, China in the south rapidly rose to prominence, and a large number of economic products entered the country through trade, thereby squeezing the domestic market and preventing the effective development of national industries.
Comparison leads to hurt.
In recent years, comparisons with China have rapidly increased the sense of inferiority among the Chinese people.
Therefore, his purpose in coming here this time is to fully cooperate, while also shouldering the honor of the nation.
After Principal William finished his introduction, Professor Adam walked over and said casually, "Hello, Mr. Choi Min-ho!"
Choi Min-ho extended his hand warmly, bowed deeply, and smiled obsequiously. "Hello, Professor Adam, I've heard so much about you. Many people in our area admire you greatly. Our school would very much like you to give a lecture."
"Of course, I personally have great respect for you. As an expert in the field of computer science, you are truly admirable."
Professor Adam remained noncommittal to Choi Min-ho's compliments, thinking that a small country was not worth his time.
However, considering the work ahead, he still smiled and nodded modestly.
In Choi Min-ho's eyes, this was approval and recognition.
The smile on her lips was impossible to suppress.
Adam finally looked at William, who understood and then said to Choi Min-ho, "Professor Choi Min-ho, you and Professor Adam will be working together from now on. I wish you a pleasant collaboration."
Choi Min-ho quickly turned around and bowed to Principal William again, saying, "Thank you very much, Mr. William, for giving me this opportunity."
"I will fully cooperate with Professor Adam, please rest assured."
Professor Adam was very pleased to see this. At least the person who came was not arrogant, but obedient. If he could also improve his abilities, that would be the best.
Principal William nodded to Professor Adam, then turned and left the office.
With only two people left in the room, Professor Adam closed the book on the table and then looked at Choi Min-ho. "Mr. Choi, I don't know if you understand the purpose of my visit, but I want to make it clear that I need someone who understands Chinese culture and literature."
"If you can't meet my requirements, then I'm sorry, I won't waste a plane ticket."
Choi Min-ho's expression turned serious, and he bowed again, saying, "Professor Adam, please rest assured!"
“I have 30 years of experience in Chinese language and cultural studies.”
"I wouldn't dare say I'm the best researcher in the country, but I dare say I know more than most Chinese people."
Professor Adam's eyes lit up. He then went to the table, picked up his book, and handed it to Choi Min-ho. "So, take a look at this book."
Choi Min-ho took the book with both hands, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the four large characters on it. He then said, "Sir, this is a book compiled during the Ming Dynasty of China. It is an extremely valuable encyclopedia."
Upon hearing this, Professor Adam gave a soft "hmm" and smiled, indicating that the person in front of him was quite capable.
Choi Min-ho then carefully opened the book, his gaze sharpening before he exclaimed with delight, "Sir, this is a book about agriculture. It introduces some of their industrial and agricultural tools, as well as their sowing methods. Of course, it's just a summary, but it was absolutely ahead of its time."
"If you do some research, you'll find that they had a splendid culture in the past."
"Unfortunately, they have now lost the inheritance of these cultural traditions."
"On the contrary, our country possesses this knowledge and has even developed its own unique culture."
"It can be said that in the study of Han culture, our great Goguryeo is the most authoritative."
At this point, Choi Min-ho's expression became devout and confident.
Adam looked on with suspicion; this was quite different from what he knew.
However, there is some truth to what Choi Min-ho said.
Because he discovered the contents of this through his own research.
He walked up to him and patted Choi Min-ho on the shoulder with great satisfaction, saying, "Well then, you'll probably be staying here for the rest of the time. I hope you can complete the task assigned to you."
Choi Min-ho smiled and said, "Sir, I'm here to serve you."
After saying this, Professor Adam's smile widened. "Then let's go, I'll show you around our work."
The two left the office side by side and soon arrived at the research institute.
Looking at the group of blond-haired, blue-eyed people of all colors and nationalities around him, Choi Min-ho's face lit up with an excited smile. The whole world was here, and being able to participate in this kind of project meant that he would definitely receive high praise from the country and gain his own honor when he returned. At this moment, honor, money, and power were all beckoning to him.
When Professor Adam led him to an experimental table and pointed to the computer chips on it, he said, "We are studying Chinese computers here."
"This Sun75 computer was disassembled by us after a lot of effort. This is the computer's processor. We have been trying to figure out how this processor works, but we have tried many times and still can't find the right way or the trick."
“Our colleagues believe that the layout of this processor, especially the number of transistors used, exceeds 30,000, and the key is that some of them are arranged in a very complicated and chaotic order.”
"If we can't figure out these arrangements, it will be very difficult for us to study them."
"So, take a look, what's the difference?" After Adam finished speaking, Choi Min-ho stepped forward, his eyes full of suspicion.
I felt a little uneasy.
If we can't accomplish it, wouldn't that be making a boastful claim?
At this moment, he roused himself and came to the front, looking at the processor on the table in front of him and examining it carefully.
Everyone around turned to look, and all was silent.
Choi Min-ho stood still, his gaze sweeping around, even changing angles as he looked at the scene.
Adam wasn't in a hurry; he just waited quietly.
About half an hour later, Choi Min-ho's small eyes suddenly shrank, "Damn it, this is our Taegukgi!"
"This, this is our Taegukgi!"
After he finished speaking, there was complete silence.
Then, Professor Adam grabbed Choi Min-ho's hand and said, "What did you say? Explain yourself clearly."
Choi Min-ho snapped out of his daze, then pointed at the patterned decorations above, his gaze hardening. "Professor Adam."
"These guys actually plagiarized our country's great ideas."
"We must get an answer from them about this. This is an insult to our country; this is shameless plagiarism."
As the words fell, everyone around looked puzzled.
What does this mean? Why are we bringing up their country? Isn't this a Chinese computer?
Also, they know about the Taegukgi, but they can't see anything related to the things on it no matter how they look at them.
Adam, standing nearby, was equally shocked. He took one last look at the pattern on the computer chip, then turned to the excited Choi Min-ho and asked solemnly, "Mr. Choi, you just said you recognize this thing?"
"Yes, I know him!"
Choi Min-ho spoke earnestly, his face showing a hint of anger.
As they spoke, Adam looked directly into the other person's eyes, a surge of excitement welling up inside him.
If the other person really understands these things, does that mean they can find what they want from these patterns?
Choi Min-ho snapped out of his daze, raised his palm and pressed it directly onto the chip, then forcefully traced each line one by one. Finally, he looked up at Professor Adam and said, "Professor Adam, look! Here, here, and here, this is the pattern on our national flag!"
"We know this thing all too well."
Choi Min-ho spoke excitedly, and then picked up a pen and paper and began to draw the pattern of the Taegeukgi on it.
The crowd gathered around, their eyes fixed on the short old man.
Everyone was also losing their composure over this computer. They had been trying to figure it out for so many days, but every time they got to the crucial part, various problems would arise, making it impossible for them to arrange the chips in order. This prevented them from coming up with a better solution.
Now, an old man tells them that they can solve this problem, that it belongs to them, so everyone's hearts are in their throats, filled with curiosity.
Professor Adam stood right next to Choi Min-ho and watched as the other man drew the Bagua diagram. Before Choi could speak, Professor Adam picked it up and compared it to the real thing. "It's not right."
"Your Taegukgi only has half of it! It's missing here, and it's missing here too!"
Professor Adam noticed the difference, but Choi Min-ho confidently stated, "Professor Adam, this is natural."
"If you understand our culture, you will know that our Tai Chi symbol was originally an eight-trigram symbol. Later, four of them were removed, leaving the four trigrams: Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li, which respectively represent heaven, earth, water, and fire."
Seeing that Choi Min-ho was about to start lecturing, Adam quickly interrupted, "I have no interest in your Taegukgi, nor do I care whose Bagua or Sigua it is."
"I just want to know if you understand this pattern and if you can decipher it."
Choi Min-ho swallowed to moisten his throat, glanced one last time at the computer on the table, and then said confidently, "Mr. Adam, this is a Bagua formation."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this Bagua formation is divided into eight gates, namely Rest and Life."
"This is no problem for me at all."
Seeing Choi Min-ho's confident demeanor, Professor Adam's face flushed instantly, and his eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at the other man.
After so many days, finally some good news!
After being reminded by the other person, he seemed to have seen such a Bagua diagram in that book, and now it seems that it really is true.
In his excitement, Professor Adam grabbed Choi Min-ho's shoulder and said forcefully, "Mr. Choi, please tell me, you must know this gossip, right?"
Choi Min-ho nodded vigorously, then said in a confident tone, "Professor Adam, I'm very familiar with this. I could draw it for you even with my eyes closed."
Then, Choi Min-ho walked to the side, pointed to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) and said, "The Bagua is divided into Qian (Heaven) and Kun (Earth)..."
As he spoke, Choi Min-ho gestured with the pictures on the screen.
Professor Adam was relieved to see that the other party's words were logical and reasonable.
The other party was indeed quite skilled, and I was also full of confidence for the research to come.
Remembering that the other person had just arrived, Professor Adam patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Cui, we may need your help next."
Choi Min-ho realized what was happening, his face lit up with joy, and he bowed deeply, saying, "It is my honor to serve you."
Adam was pleased with the other party's attitude and finally said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a British feast."
"How's the roast beef?"
"How about Windsor pheasant? It tastes great, and it's absolutely delicious with scones."
Upon hearing this, Choi Min-ho was very excited.
I've finally completed my superior's mission. Thinking about how I'll have beautiful women, money, and power when I get back, I can't contain my excitement.
Thinking of this, he excitedly said, "Please give your orders, I will definitely be able to complete the mission. Please believe me, the culture of modern China is most purely descended from that of the Southern Goguryeo."
"And I am absolutely the most authoritative researcher."
"Sir, please believe me, I can definitely do it."
Choi Min-ho continued speaking, and Professor Adam happily pulled him by the shoulder and led him outside, saying, "Don't worry, I believe you."
"I have even more faith in our bright future."
Choi Min-ho nodded vigorously, "Thank you for your trust, I will definitely do my best."
The two men, one tall and one short, walked out, and the crowd behind them cheered, as if victory was just around the corner.
