Aoki received a call from Mei Ziqing saying that the professor asked him to discuss things, so he came in a hurry. Mei Ziqing took him to the large conference room on the third floor of the experimental building. There were more than a dozen people sitting there, most of them silent.
Aoki felt the atmosphere was strange and asked Mei Ziqing what had happened.
Mei Ziqing said quietly, "these are domestic scientists signed by Lester, that is, members of the third space foundation. Today is the group meeting of the third space foundation in China."
Aoki is inexplicable. He didn't say he would join the third space foundation, an organization of the scientific community. A lazy man like him will never be subject to any organization and discipline.
"Where's the professor?" he asked.
"The professor is sorting out the materials in the office and will come in a minute," Mei Ziqing said. "Oh, by the way, the professor asked me to discuss with you and see if I can find a place to keep more cats."
Aoki said: "certainly not in the urban area. Cats can bark and have a taste when they are raised more. If you want to raise them, you have to find a place in the suburbs."
"Then please take more trouble!" said Mei Ziqing.
Aoki thought for a moment and said, "we can set aside a place in the training base of our security company. It's very remote, and it's all our own people. There's no problem with security and confidentiality. But now we can't buy cat food in supermarkets and on the Internet. Feeding is a problem."
"This is a question. Can we feed fish and meat directly without cat food? Cats can also digest a small amount of starch. Fish soup and rice dressing are also very delicious food for them. In this way, the cat raised is a cat in the traditional sense and has more research value!" Mei Ziqing said.
Aoki nodded and said, "that's OK, but it's hard to say how many stray cats you can get, and you can't take them openly."
Their whispers in the back obviously affected the scientists sitting in front. Someone turned back and asked, "Miss Mei Ziqing, who is this young man?"
Mei Ziqing said, "ah - this is Mr. Aoki."
"Where is Mr. Aoki? I haven't heard of such a young talent in the scientific community!"
"Has he signed through Lester? Miss Mei Ziqing, do you know what meeting is today? In Professor Mei's face, it's an exception for you to attend. How can you bring another young man in!"
"This..."
Mei Ziqing didn't know how to answer. Mei Tui walked into the conference room with a stack of materials.
"Ziqing has passed Lester's signature. The original file of her thinking matrix is in my office. I deciphered it myself. If you want to see it, you can see it at any time. Because I am a veteran member of the foundation, I don't list her name separately in the member list. Like all of you here, she is fully qualified to attend this meeting!"
Mei's words reassured Mei Ziqing and filled her heart with gratitude.
"As for Mr. Aoki..." Mei tried to walk to the chair in the conference room. "He is my consultant. You don't have to doubt him. If you doubt him, it's tantamount to doubting me."
"Well, since the professor says so, we naturally have nothing to say."
Mei Tuo is one of the initiators of the third space foundation and has a high position in the scientific community. She is already a leader of the foundation and a representative of Chinese scientists.
He smiled at everyone, motioned for everyone to sit, and then asked Mei Ziqing, "is the network disconnected?"
Mei Ziqing said: "all are disconnected and the electromagnetic shielding has been started. Now there is nothing here that can communicate with the outside world."
"OK, please turn off your cell phones," Mei said
Aoki took out his mobile phone and found that there was no signal.
Someone asked, "Professor Mei, don't be so mysterious!"
Mei tried to wave her hand and interrupted him: "Ziqing, pull off the switch and use the standby power supply."
Mei Ziqing said hello and went out. The professor put on his pipe in silence. When the flames of his cigarette lit up, the lights in the conference room went out. When his pipe was lit and the fire went out, the light came on again.
Everyone feels more and more mysterious. It's understandable to disconnect the network. What's the matter with power failure? Is the backup power safer?
When Mei Ziqing came back, a black-and-white cat came in with a meow. Mei Ziqing let out a cry and wanted to catch up, but she saw that the cat had jumped onto the chair next to the professor and was looking at the professor. The professor kindly picked up the cat and said, "Oh, you want to listen, too? If you want to listen, just listen."
Seeing that the professor didn't mean to drive the cat out, Mei Ziqing closed the door and sat down in her position.
Mei tried to put the cat down and said to everyone, "you know the situation now - very bad! Very bad!"
Everyone stared at him, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"I know you don't understand why I cut off the network, cut off power and block signals. I'll talk about these later. There must be a theme and order for the meeting. I'll talk about the current operation and research results of the foundation first."
In order to open the information, Mei first talked about the funds raised by the foundation and the progress of several important projects, and then said: "In the past two months, the development speed of the foundation has been faster than we expected. In addition to the amount of funds, there are 198 full members. If you count Mr. Ziqing and Mr. Aoki, you can just make up 200 people. As the world's top alliance of scientists, there are already a lot of 200 people."
Someone immediately raised an objection: "the rapid development is naturally gratifying, but it is related to the cause of human destiny. Should we be more careful! If we don't identify the membership, especially the young people without academic achievements, it will be no good to save the world by science. Once the secret is leaked, it will be too late to regret!"
His words meant something. Several people looked at Aoki and meiziqing.
Mei Xu said, "do you want to talk about the Internet disclosure and cat killing order? Well, this is the important issue to be discussed today - who is the informant and what is the purpose?"
"Is it still worth discussing? It must have been done by the insiders of the foundation. There are traitors among us!" someone said.
"Why?" Mei asked.
"Lester's last words said that in addition to the members of the foundation, some military and political dignitaries attended when you were in Copenhagen, but only our internal staff knew about the grey brain virus, and the relationship between the virus and Toxoplasma gondii had just been confirmed. It was not long before the outside world could know. So the detailed materials burst out. Who was not the internal staff?"
"Why do our people do this?" someone asked.
