After nine o'clock in the morning, the entire USTC entered a completely different atmosphere than usual.
University of Science and Technology of China, South Campus, Guo Moruo Square.
In the southeast area of the square, a group of staff members were gathering in front of a tripod, doing the final debugging of the equipment.
This group of personnel, both male and female, all had interview passes hanging on their chests, and the word "Red Star" was printed on their work uniforms.
A few minutes later.
One of the tall men, who looked like a photographer, stood up from the ground, turned the screws, and asked the person next to him:
"Hey, boss, do you think the University of Science and Technology will roll out such a big show this time, will it overturn later?"
The leader he spoke of was a fair and chubby little man named Zheng. He was a supervisor of the Red Star News Department and the leader of their trip.
After hearing the words, he pondered for a moment and said:
"It's hard to say. Although based on what we and Bayer have learned, this matter is probably false. But looking at Director Lin's appearance yesterday, it seems that HKUST is quite confident. Maybe there is something we don't know.
What about black technology?”
This group of people from Red Star News arrived in Luzhou the afternoon before yesterday. Last night, the University of Science and Technology organized a meeting, and one of the directors named Lin came forward to entertain everyone.
However, although Director Lin's attitude was very enthusiastic, he did not give many hints during the dinner, and the dishes were very ordinary.
It looked like everyone was eating and drinking well, and there was no such thing as a gag order.
This kind of confidence left Director Zheng and others scratching their heads, and at the same time, they gradually began to look forward to today's live broadcast.
Then Manager Zheng didn't know what he thought of, he sighed softly and said:
"I just hope that HKUST will not be trying to make a fool of itself. The current public opinion environment on scientific research in China is bad enough. It would be terrible if even HKUST were overturned!"
The tall man on the side also nodded with concern when he heard this.
Starting about seven or eight years ago, with the development of the Internet, domestic discussions on various scientific research news have gradually increased.
There are also endless sources of black material, whether true or false.
For example, academicians of Baijiu, Goddess Yan, etc., who are familiar to melon-eaters, and the matter of Dr. Zhai.
But actually.
The relationships between the characters involved behind many things are far from simple as they appear on the surface.
For example, Han Chunyu in 2016, or the grievances between Shi's family and the country - especially the latter, this is actually a confusing matter.
Mr. Shi has been being hacked by Fang Zuzi. Logically speaking, the people being hacked by this person should all be outstanding scholars in China, right?
But in China, Mr. Shi, Grandma Tu and Mr. Yao have never dealt with them very well.
Moreover, their disagreement is not only a dispute over academic achievements, but also a conflict in other aspects.
Therefore, behind many news, there are actually complex relationships similar to those under the iceberg, which are not necessarily black and white.
But the problem is that public opinion doesn't care about the secrets behind you. All the public opinion sees is all kinds of true and false dirt.
At the same time, with the support of some true stories that occasionally broke out, the entire public opinion trend completely changed to denounce domestic scientific research and universities.
How outrageous are some current trends? There was news in 2020 that Ludong University established a company in 2007. It had been 13 years since then, and the stock price had risen by 20%.
At the beginning, Lu Da was criticized for cashing out and running away. Lu Da quickly made a bitter statement, saying that I had never cashed out in the past ten years.
So the wind changed the next day, and it turned out that Penglu University had been doing nothing for more than ten years, but had made no achievements in the company.
Lu Da came out again and explained that we are a company in a small field. It is actually good not to lose money every year. We have not needed to subsidize it for several years.
Upon seeing this, those trolls immediately changed their words and said that the state subsidy of Lu University was canceled because of lack of results.
Who are you going to talk to to explain this matter?
Therefore, as a relatively conscientious media person, Director Zheng does have hidden worries in his heart:
What should we do if HKUST really overturns?
By then, I am afraid that it will not only be the University of Science and Technology that will be ridiculed, but it will also inevitably trigger another round of verbal attacks on the scientific research level of universities in the local area!
Just when Director Zheng was worried, several staff members from the University of Science and Technology suddenly came not far away. The leader was Director Lin whom he had met yesterday.
After arriving at the station of Red Star News, Director Lin glanced at the fixed tripod and asked Director Zheng:
"Director Zheng, have your equipment been debugged? As required, you will evacuate the site within twenty minutes."
Manager Zheng nodded when he heard this, pointed to the cables connected on the ground and said:
"The transmission cables have been connected, and the anti-bite coating provided by the University of Science and Technology has been applied. Now we just need to focus the final lens. It should be done within ten minutes. I guarantee it will be done within ten minutes."
“What about the drones?”
"The drones are no problem. This time we brought six drones, which can be rotated to continue the live broadcast."
Director Lin listened quietly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Then he suddenly thought of something, pointed to a few banners not far away, and said in a low voice:
"By the way, Director Zheng, please help the technical guy and try to take pictures of those banners.
That is our own industry at the University of Science and Technology, and we can gain more or less traffic."
Manager Zheng’s eyes lingered on several banners that read ‘iFlytek/Guodun Quantum/Luzhou High-tech Zone congratulates HKUST on its success in eradicating cockroaches!’ and he patted his chest knowingly:
"Director Lin, don't worry, we will ensure that everything is implemented in place!"
Director Lin nodded slightly, then shook the syringe in his hand towards him:
"In that case, Director Zheng has to worry about it. Time is tight. I have to take people to apply insecticide first. Let's have a nice drink after we're done!"
Director Zheng also responded politely. After waiting for Director Lin and others to leave, he exhaled with a complicated mood and turned around to start his own task.
Another ten minutes passed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Manager Zheng and others completed the equipment debugging and evacuated the site one after another.
And not far from them.
Director Lin also led several security personnel to set up a cordon and began to wipe the glue bait in his hands towards several 11-meter whiteboards.
Similar situations also occurred in the sports fields, basketball courts and Spectacle Lake in the South District. Except for staff of HKUST, no students could be seen in the relevant areas.
If you expand your sight further, you can see that there are few people inside the campus at this time, and some buildings have even temporarily blocked their entrances and exits.
There are also many fire trucks parked on the campus to provide backup for some uncontrollable situations.
Above the sky, there are more than a dozen drones conducting flight tests at this time, and the atmosphere can even be said to be a bit...
Kill!
At the same time, for this live broadcast of cockroach disinfecting, USTC also specially set up a temporary headquarters.
The headquarters is located in the first teaching building in the East District, between Guo Moruo Square and Spectacle Lake.
The temporary headquarters was originally a multimedia office. At this moment, a dozen people, including Tian Liangwei, gathered here.
Xu Yun sat next to Tian Liangwei, his expression slightly solemn.
After all, this disinfecting involves cockroaches lurking in dark corners. There are too many uncertainties. Even Xu Yun cannot guarantee whether there will be any mistakes.
The person in charge of dispatching the disinfecting area today is Director Guan of the Security Department of the University of Science and Technology, the same retired special forces soldier who led Xu Yun into Building 14 to collect the cockroach corpses.
Since more than an hour ago, he has been exchanging information with various departments.
A few minutes passed.
Director Guan seems to have received some news.
I saw him put down his communication equipment and walked straight to Tian Liangwei:
"Director Tian, all media units have debugged their equipment. Except for some reporters wearing protective clothing, the rest of the staff have been evacuated to safe locations. Do you want to proceed to the next step?"
When Tian Liangwei heard this, he turned his head and looked at Xu Yun, and nodded heavily:
