The White House.

Office of the president.

Ever since FBI chief Mueller came in, the assistant in the president's office sitting at the door of the office can hear from time to time the voice of a man who is furious behind the door.

"What do you fools eat!"

Standing in front of the president, director Mueller breathed heavily and admitted cautiously: "this is our fault We expected those people to do it, but we didn't expect them to move so fast. "

Although it's pleasant to see the loss of the Chinese people, the white house absolutely doesn't want it at this juncture.

Negotiations on the international monthly Hadron Collider are still under way. They managed to win over a group of teammates through diplomatic means, ready to put pressure on China on the issue of the budget committee, and strive for more powers beyond the budget for the national committees in charge of budget approval.

Now, however, their plans have been completely disrupted.

Because the outbreak of cyber attacks not only surprised their allies, but also made many swing neutral countries doubt whether the Americans really want to participate in this international project.

Maybe they Yankees just want to make a mess at this meeting? It's not a cooperative idea at all?

It is individuals who have such doubts.

After all, China is the challenger of American space hegemony, and the relationship between the two sides has not been very harmonious

Just then, the phone on the desk rings.

The president took a deep breath and walked over to see who called. He pressed the handsfree button directly.

When the phone was connected, director Carson's voice came immediately.

"It's me."

The president: "I know it's you. If you have something to say, hurry up!"

Although I don't feel that the president is in a good mood, it's not convenient to ask about such things.

With a little tired voice, Carson at the other end of the phone cleared his throat.

"The Chinese side is putting pressure on us. Those damned fools, I drafted a plan about the budget committee for the whole night. I just took it out on the conference table today, and it was blocked by the Internet attack thrown by the Chinese people. They are now determined to make a big fuss about this matter and plan to take it to the negotiation table for settlement. "

Taking a deep breath, he continued in a slightly dispirited tone.

"Well, we are now at an absolute disadvantage at the negotiation table. Even the neutrals who have already turned to us have expressed their serious concerns about the problems of network security and Neo terror in China."

The president couldn't help asking, "you didn't argue with those Chinese people. Is it different between cyber attacks and hadron colliders?"

"I said, but they began to plant us. They said that the predator hawk may be supported by the federal government, and they said that they have some evidence, but they need to further confirm..." At this point, director Carson paused, hesitated and said, "by the way, should not..."

Slightly stupefied, heard the meaning of this sentence, the president flatly vetoed: "how can it be! How could I approve such a stupid plan! Is it good for us to destroy the servers of several Chinese websites? You say so, Mr. Mueller. "

Being stared at by the president with murderous eyes, Mueller quickly nodded: "of course! I will never let my hands down to do such a stupid thing But just in case, I suggest we call the CIA and ask them. Maybe they will do it. "

"Now is not the time to ask who is responsible," said director Carson in a tired tone with a headache on his brow. "The situation may not be good for us. My suggestion is Make appropriate concessions before China makes full use of its problems. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether they will reconsider and whether our participation is really necessary... "

There was a momentary silence in the office.

It's as if a pin can be heard clearly when it lands on the ground.

Is there a need for participation

In the president's eyes, a bitter taste gradually emerged.

If someone had said that to him ten years ago, he would have thought that this person was joking with him and laughing with him.

There is no industrial chain in the world, which can be separated from the United States. No large-scale international scientific research project involving more than 50 countries can be organized without the United States.

But now

Someone is actually thinking about how to gently kick them out of the group?

The world must be crazy.

After about ten minutes of silence, the president went to the chair behind his desk and sat down.

The forefinger tapped lightly on the table, he said in a tired voice.

“…… You can relax other conditions as you like, and let allies' demands go for a while, but you have to make sure that we have at least three full voting seats on the budget committee, which is not to be discussed. "Whether or not the Chinese really plan to do so, he dare not gamble.

It's true that China needs the United States, but now it's clear that the United States needs China more than that

Director Carson nodded at the other end of the line, relieved.

“…… I try. "

After hanging up the phone, the president hammered his fist on the table. I don't know who he was swearing at.

"These damn fools!"

Looking at the angry president, director Mueller held his breath and dared not speak.

The United States is now at a disadvantage in the overall negotiations because of the disruption of the predatory eagle.

If Russia can't stand firm in the budget committee's negotiations, it's almost inevitable that the cunning Chinese will prevail

No, to be exact, those Siberian bears are unlikely to stand firm.

As long as the Chinese give them a little benefit, they will relax on the issue related to the vital interests of other cooperative countries. After all, they don't pay a lot of money themselves, just to gather a lively look

……

For the land boat, what happened on the Internet is just a little episode.

Whether the Falcon is supported by the White House or not, these unimportant trifles are not important at all.

The ultimate source of all IP attacks is from the United States. As long as we firmly grasp this point, China will be invincible in this public opinion battle and get enough "compensation" in the negotiations on the budget committee.

Of course, the key to the problem is that the seminar was held in Shangjing and the initiative has always been with the moon orbit construction committee.

Absolute strength is the guarantee of cooperation.

Otherwise, even if there is such a "misunderstanding", according to American habits, probably the rate will not be taken seriously at all.

These days, while taking an active part in the preparations for the construction of the moon Hadron Collider Research Center, Lu Zhou is helping director Li to select the list of the expert group for technical feasibility demonstration.

When Lu zhoucai really started to do it, he found that it was really difficult to avoid suspicion.

In software engineering, Jinling university itself is among the top five universities, even if it is relatively strong. There are two big bulls in the field of quantum computing in the software institute, one is even academician level.

It would be unfair for him to take his name off just to avoid suspicion, so after thinking twice, Lu Zhou wrote their names.

As for other experts, some of them are from Yanda and others are from Shuimu, with a total of ten people. The lineup is balanced, even with rain and dew. Then it wasn't until Lu Zhou finished that he found out that he was unconsciously thinking about something other than academic.

"People can't help themselves in the Jianghu."

Lu Zhou shook his head, but he made up his mind secretly. Next time, he won't take this trouble to himself, and then he sent this email to Director Li's mailbox.

It's done!

After doing these things, Lu Zhou stretched out and was about to get up to get some coffee.

But just then, an unread email suddenly flew into his mailbox.

Seeing the name, Lu Zhou's eyebrows are slightly raised.

Professor Wu Tianqun?

Does that mean that Cao Cao is coming?

I opened the email with curiosity, and the boat took a quick look.

As the saying goes, the shorter the word, the greater the amount of information.

There is only one sentence in the body of this email.

The research of carbon based chip has made progress!!! ]

……

(thanks to the silver League of the leader "medking"! The first silver League among the ginseng! And two at a time, so excited! When I go to my friends, thank you again!!!

It's a painful and happy thing to feel the outbreak. Although the liver hurts a little, I will try my best to stick to it! This week, keep breaking out! QAQ)
