Groom Lake Project Experimental Base.
In a luxurious office in the central office building, Clotte James was humming an unknown country song, with his legs folded together on the corner of the table, and the toes of his right foot were shaking.
The office door opened.
Empoli-Cubo opened the door and walked in. When he saw James's appearance, he couldn't help but raise his lips and said, "What are you looking at? Why don't you answer the phone?"
"Are you busy watching the news? There is indeed a lot of news about you on the Internet. Congratulations on you really becoming famous this time."
Kubo's tone was a little sour.
James continued to stare at the phone screen without even raising his head, "Of course not, what's the news? I'm chatting with a few beauties."
"Beauty? How many?"
Cooper didn't understand the meaning of the words. He simply moved over and scanned his face on the phone screen, and found that there were more than a dozen unread messages in the message list of James' communication software.
The messages were generally along the lines of, "Are scientists busy?"
"How did you come up with that?"
"I read your news, you are really an interesting person."
"Can we get to know each other?"
James ignored Cooper at all. He replied patiently one after another, including one sentence that said, "I'm in the laboratory. I'm sorry that I can't reply immediately, but this is my job."
Cooper was stunned.
He asked blankly, "Is this what you're busy with?"
"yes."
James continued to be busy, "In the past few days, many women have added me as friends, and chatting with them is a relaxing and pleasant thing."
"There are a few beauties who want to meet me."
"But, alas~~"
He let out a long sigh, "This place is so remote that it's hard for me to leave, so I can only arrange the date during the holiday next week."
Kubo didn't know what to say for a while. It took him a long time to say with jealousy, "I finally know why so many nerdy scientists admire you..."
"You have become these people's idol!"
He shook his head as he spoke and became much more serious, "Krot, I think it's time to discuss the next research plan."
"Next step? What are your plans?"
"So I'm asking you."
After Cooper finished speaking, he noticed that James continued to stare at him, and said helplessly, "Okay, this is what I think. We have discovered annihilation rays, and we can continue to study in this direction."
James pursed his lips hard and commented, "I suggest you see a doctor, a psychiatrist, or a brain department."
"I can understand that you are insulting me?"
"Yes, you understand, it means there is nothing wrong with your brain." James said, "You know the properties of annihilation rays, igniting nuclear reactions, destroying electronic systems, etc., do you think things of this nature should be
Are we doing research?”
Kubo pursed his lips and said nothing.
James continued, "You have thought of it, right? That is a matter of the military and has nothing to do with us. Even if we conduct in-depth research, the technology will definitely be taken away by the military in the end."
"So in the end we spent a lot of money and got nothing."
Cooper thought about it carefully and agreed, "Korot, your idea is indeed different, but if we don't do research on annihilation rays, what else can we do?"
"Wait."
James put his cell phone down and stood up, "There is a saying among flower growers, the more you do, the more you will make mistakes, the less you do, the less you will make mistakes. At least for you, discovering annihilation rays is a great success."
"You don't have to worry about being fired in a short period of time."
"We don't know how to continue research, so we just wait and maintain it like this. It won't cost much money anyway."
"That way we won't make any mistakes."
"But……"
Cooper was about to say something when he was interrupted by James, "I know you want to say that you should take the initiative to do experiments, but you don't have a clear next step, right? Our foundation only has some uncertain properties.
New superconducting materials.”
"However, you must know that studying the anti-gravity properties of these materials will cost a lot of money."
"That's how Shapley got fired."
"So we don't need to do anything now because we have achieved short-term success. As for the long-term... does it make sense to think about that long-term?"
"We just have to wait."
Kubo asked in confusion, "What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for the military's actions, waiting for the White House's actions, they will definitely pay attention to annihilation rays, and they will definitely pay attention to nuclear fusion research based on it. Also, we are also waiting for the trends of Wang Hao's team, such as some new results
."
"If one day, Wang Hao's team suddenly releases results, we can do research along the direction and no one will say anything."
James said it very seriously.
Cooper asked depressingly, "Isn't this too passive? We can never develop new technologies or make new discoveries. We can only do research in the direction of others. When will we achieve technological transcendence?"
"Hahaha~~~"
James suddenly laughed, and it took him a long time to point at Cooper and say, "So I say you should see a doctor. You don't think you are better than Wang Hao just because you are a person in charge, do you?"
"Technological catch-up? Stop being ridiculous!"
"Shapley thinks so, and so does Nolan, but what's the result? You saw it, do you dare to say that you are better than them all?"
"Empoli, you have to see yourself clearly."
"You are just a semi-administrator. You are not a super scientific genius, and you cannot find the direction on your own. Can you do what so many top scholars have failed to do? You can dream!"
A lot of heart-wrenching words rang in my ears.
Cooper left the office depressed. He felt very uncomfortable, but he had to admit that what James said was right.
James didn't look at his phone anymore, but let out a long sigh.
He is enjoying his life lately.
He became a well-known star scientist, and many beautiful women took the initiative to contact him and have private dates.
But in fact, he also hopes to participate in high-end experimental research and gain access to the most advanced annihilation field technology.
Unfortunately, there was no chance.
James couldn't help but think of Paul Phil Jones, "I really envy that guy, he made the right decision."
"Many years ago, I went to see Wang Hao at a flower grower? Who would have thought?"
He sighed and shook his head.
…
Xihai University, faculty cafeteria.
Paul Phil-Jones was having dinner with Zhang Zhiqiang, Luo Dayong and others. He was also talking about the recent news and the star scientist Clot James, "That guy was able to discover f-rays. It's amazing."
"I rarely hear you praise others." Zhang Zhiqiang said with some surprise.
Luo Dayong nodded accordingly.
"That guy is indeed a genius." Paul Phil-Jones said with certainty.
"Do you know each other?"
"We are classmates and colleagues." Paul Phil-Jones' words shocked both Luo Dayong and Zhang Zhiqiang.
They didn't expect that the international 'star scientist' who discovered F-rays could actually be associated with Paul Phil-Jones.
Paul Phil-Jones continued, "He is indeed a genius, but his brain is always used in strange places. I even think he is just a puppet controlled by the reproductive system."
"How to say?"
To be continued...
