With the outbreak of science and technology and the productivity has far exceeded the basic material needs of mankind, Nie Yun naturally hopes to invest the remaining resources in scientific and technological research and development as much as possible.
In the interstellar age, science and technology is the only way to become a god!
However, every elite scientist who has undergone "brain strengthening" consumes a terrible astronomical number of resources in the state of flying himself!
Raising a group of such elite scientists is like raising a group of uncles.
All reasonable or unreasonable requirements they apply for should be met as much as possible, funds should be allocated in time, and damaged public property should be reimbursed at public expense
They are responsible for flying dreams, and Nie Yun is responsible for paying for dreams!
For every such uncle, Nie Yun can clearly feel the suffocation of his dream
Therefore, the participation of Lawrence and Carl is not only the need of a sharp increase in scientific research projects, but also the intuitive embodiment of Nie Yun's gradual improvement of his own strength and his mastery of more rich resources.
During this time, countless scientific and technological items have been quietly swallowed up by Gemini and Woolf Empire, bringing hundreds of scientific and technological sub projects to Nie Yun.
Some of them can be made public. Nie Yun has put them into the virtual world of the science and technology tree for scientists with corresponding permissions to analyze.
There are also technologies that can not be disclosed for the time being, but Nie Yun urgently needs, such as "wormhole expansion technology", which he inputs into the database of the cloud Research Institute for internal digestion.
……
"This thing... My God!" Carl looked at the structural drawing of the "wormhole expansion device" in front of him.
It can be seen from the three-dimensional image that the appearance of the device is like a sundial, just like the wormhole expansion device of the Locke consortium.
Although Carl cannot be completely sure that this thing is indeed a "wormhole expansion device" based on this drawing alone, Carl instinctively acquiesced to its authenticity because of the strength and omnipotence of his boss.
Whether it is "Hades type I destruction bomb" or "wormhole expansion device", this unreserved trust and strong confidence make Carl more firm in his mind.
He reluctantly closed the drawing in front of him, and then immediately made a personal request to zhinao as an associate member of the "cloud Research Institute", so he chose to go offline.
Taking off his virtual helmet, Carl put on his coat, put on a gentleman's hat, took a deep breath and walked out of his manor.
As soon as the door opened, there was a sea of tulip flowers in full bloom, swaying in the evening sun.
Carl is located in a remote town in Europe. Even today when the ghost captain's black technology is disordered, it retains the original European classical town style like the middle ages.
After a sea of flowers, passing a windmill and passing some deserted streets, Carl entered a small tavern in the center of the town.
When the wooden door was opened, the roaring voices rushed to my face.
Different from the desolation outside, the tavern is very lively. It seems that the people of the whole town gather here, and all kinds of vulgar talking and laughter are like another world.
Carl glanced at the bar, ordered a cocktail from the bartender, and then walked to an insignificant table in the corner.
There was already a man in a long windbreaker, with a scratchy beard, a bad nose and heavy bags under his eyes. He was drinking himself with a glass of whisky.
He is a regular guest of this tavern. He has been drinking two drinks in this tavern almost every day for half a year, and he always sits in this seat.
When the man saw Carl coming towards him with a glass of wine, his turbid eyes immediately emitted a trace of light.
He quietly pressed the pen on his chest until a slight vibration came from the pen, suggesting that there were no suspicious electronic devices around him. The man relaxed a little.
He picked up his glass and grinned at Carl who had just sat down. "Mr. Carl, compared with a light cocktail, I think you can change a glass of whisky next time. It can make you feel young again!"
"Thank you! But you know, I'm not here to drink," Carl shook his head.
"Oh, of course! Then, dear Mr. Carl, what good news have you brought back for our country this time?"
"I'm not bringing good news this time, but two!" said Carl flatly.
"The first good news is that Captain ghost has almost no defense against me. I have obtained some scientific and technological details of two major scientific research projects."
"Oh?" the man was suddenly excited. Unexpectedly, Carl had just entered the cloud Research Institute.
"What about the second good news?" he asked hastily.
"The second good news is that from today on, you don't have to pretend to be an alcoholic every day."
Carl's words stunned the man and suddenly gave birth to a bad feeling in his heart. "What do you mean, Mr. Carl?"
Carl did not answer positively, but pointed to the whisky in front of him with a serious face, "wine is good wine. Unfortunately, sometimes such strong wine is easy to make people lose their mind.
As a scientist, I understand that only a clear mind can keep people sane and make the most correct choice! "
When the man heard Carl's words, he didn't know what his so-called correct choice was, and his face immediately looked ugly.
"Damn it! You betrayed your country!" he yelled angrily and put his hand into his arms.
"I advise you not to make any drastic moves. I have applied to zhinao for the internal employee welfare of the scientific research institute. My family immigrated to the third Crescent City. The ship that wants to pick me up has arrived over the town.
I didn't tell on you, but if I had an accident here, do you think you can escape? "Carl calmly said the" back road "he had arranged for himself.
"Do you think I will care about life and death if I take this task and confront that person? Unlike you, I am willing to give everything for my country!" the man said sarcastically.
Carl sighed helplessly, "don't think I'm doing this for myself. You're too naive to understand the terrible part of that person. Even if the technology he mastered is given to you in vain, it's not what you can bear at present!
You don't know anything at all. Do you know the maximum "threat elimination plan"? Do you know the tragedy on Pluto? Do you know that the brain can develop to do private placement by itself??
No! You know nothing about power! "
The man was stunned by Carl's words. For a moment, he didn't know how to refute.
"In fact, we can use more peaceful development means. Cloud research institutes prohibit high-risk technology disclosure, but do not prohibit normal academic exchanges. The knowledge I have learned can be taught to my students, who are the real future of science.
And killing me will do you no good, and you will even be retaliated by the ghost captain. "
Carl is not stupid. He has long analyzed his current situation. Under the deterrence of the ghost captain, his personal safety can at least be guaranteed. This is the real reason why he dares to have a direct showdown today.
"Ha ha! Well, I admit what you said is very reasonable..." the man smiled dejectedly and seemed to have given up.
Carl was relieved that things didn't make a big deal. It would be the best end for both sides to reconcile in this secret way.
But the next moment, to his surprise, the eyes of the agent opposite suddenly became blood red, revealing a frenzy.
"Although what you said is very reasonable, I'm sorry. I still like whisky, and I hate people telling me big truth!"
With that, the man took out an exquisite small pistol with a grim smile and pulled the trigger in Carl's incredible eyes.
"Bang!" a spark burst from the muzzle of the gun.
Carl looked at all this in horror. He didn't understand why the other party would suddenly make such a crazy move of harming others and not benefiting himself, and might get himself into big trouble.
I'm a scholar who meets a soldier. I have no place to reason?
What happened to his bad luck when he met a crazy agent who drank too much? Or do the guys in the intelligence department think "you can't get what I can't get"?
Scientific research workers are really not suitable for espionage... Inexperienced people naturally kill people!
He was stunned by countless thoughts.
"Eh? The last moment of my life... Seems a little long? Has the bullet been flying for a while?"
Then his eyes widened.
In front of him, a yellow orange bullet was quietly floating in the center of his eyebrow less than five centimeters, unable to enter inch by inch!
"This..." not only Carl, but also the agent who fired the gun stared at the scene in front of him.
The bullet was like hitting an invisible wall. After losing all its kinetic energy, it happened to fall into the cocktail glass in front of Carl, making a "Ding" sound.
What's more frightening is that the shot he just shot didn't cause any screams from the guests around him! This is not normal!
Stiff turned his head, and the man's pupil shrank suddenly.
I saw a young man wearing a "scream version" mask sitting strangely between himself and Carl, holding his chin and listening to their conversation with great interest.
He swore that there were only him and Carl here just now, and this strange guy seemed to pop out of the air!
Not only that, the corner where the three people are located is like isolated from the world. The surrounding drinkers are unaware of what has just happened!
The lively and noisy outside world, on the contrary, sets off the dead silence of this small piece of heaven and earth.
This very strange scene turned the agent's face pale.
You know nothing about power
Carl's words suddenly came into his mind again, but this time it was full of irony and cruelty
