Chapter 54: The Trial

Over there, Lu Menglin and Uncle Ji Hu had already joined forces, and the two chatted while drinking.

Uncle Ji Hu's face was full of gratitude, but he refused to say anything, because he knew very well that he was not thankful for his great kindness, this little Lu brother gave face like this, no matter how good he said it, it was in vain, and this big favor must find a way to return it to him.

Lu Menglin naturally didn't mention what happened just now, anyway, his attitude was already very clear.

I don't know what grievances you had before, anyway, seeing is believing me, and the birdman just now wanted to drive me out of the guest seat, so I don't want to give him face.

After the reception, Lu Menglin returned to the room.

However, Uncle Jihu didn't come back, and I don't know who to find to communicate with business.

Lu Menglin reclined on the bed to rest, but what he thought was that he would wait for the exchange at the branch venue tomorrow to be finished, and then he would have to do it.

In addition to a few pieces of clothing, there was also a very important document in his bag, that is, the one copied from the safe of Wang Shaoxiao's house.

Lu Menglin came to the capital this time, ostensibly to attend the annual meeting, but in fact, he wanted to find a way here, hand over the materials to the Commission for Discipline Inspection or the National Textile Bureau, and take a top-down path to bring down Zhao Yuanchao.

It seems that Uncle Ji Hu has been in the capital for a long time, maybe he knows how to operate this kind of thing, so he just wait for him to come back and ask.

How do you know this, so I waited until midnight, Lu Menglin didn't wait for Uncle Jihu, and people in this era didn't leave calls with each other, so they had to sleep first.

Early the next morning, Lu Menglin finished washing up and appeared at the conference venue on time, ready to participate in the exchange and interaction between authors and readers.

According to the newly received sub-venue process, he was arranged in the first sub-venue, and the speaking time was 10:30 a.m.

Next, I would like to invite Mr. Lu Menglin, a cutting-edge writer, to the stage, and he will communicate with you on his work "Antimatter War". With the invitation of the host of the branch venue, Lu Menglin calmly stood on the stage.

The audience collectively screamed in amazement, marveling at the author's age, or rather his appearance, because he looked so young.

Many readers were unable to enter the annual meeting yesterday and could only enter the semi-open branch venue, and they were naturally surprised when they saw Lu Menglin.

Readers, who had already been surprised once yesterday, patiently explained the background of the teenage author to those around them.

Lu Menglin stood on the podium and briefly expounded the creative ideas, including the synopsis of the story, as well as some scientific speculations about antimatter.

The readers in the audience listened very carefully, and they all looked at the teenagers on the stage with admiration.

Because he is really good, at this age, he can actually write such a good article, not only the expression of scientific concepts, but also the exploration of human nature, the characters are full, and the story structure is quite complete.

In addition to nearly 100 readers present, some science fiction authors also participated in the exchange, and everyone was also impressed by the brilliance of Lu Menglin's thoughts.

The atmosphere of the scene is becoming more and more relaxed and harmonious.

In fact, this kind of exchange has always been friendly, and it is a good opportunity for the author to gather die-hard fans.

As the saying goes, it's better to be famous than to meet, and only when you really see the author and hear the ideas he tells in person, it will be easier to appreciate and love each other.

Of course, the appearance and temperament of most authors are very far from what readers imagine, so readers have always been very tolerant of this, and Lu Menglin is obviously not among them.

Whether it was his youthful handsomeness or his ideological brilliance, he was deeply attracted to everyone present.

Whether it is readers who love science fiction or those authors who have a strong personal will, they are all impressed by the aura of wisdom that Lu Menglin has.

Before I knew it, it was time for the question session of the exchange meeting.

When the host proposed that everyone on the spot could ask Lu Menglin questions freely, the audience immediately raised many arms.

At this moment, someone stood up directly, clutched a microphone that came from nowhere and asked, "Lu Menglin, do you dare to answer my question?"

The audience was in an uproar, and everyone turned around one after another, and saw a man wearing a Tang costume, a bright head, and pigtails.

Lu Menglin raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was really this guy again, it was simply a ghost!

Naturally, it was Master Xiao Wang who spoke, this person relied on his own fame, and the circle had been mixed, and he didn't care about the occasion at all, so it seemed that he should be prepared.

In fact, many people in the circle are reluctant to provoke him, that is, because of his temper, like a poisonous snake, he will not let go of his mouth, and he has to make his opponent stink.

The vast majority of the readers around did not know Master Xiao Wang, but felt that the scene in front of them was very dramatic.

And insiders are afraid of Master Xiao Wang's viciousness, and in such a public occasion, it is not easy to stop it directly, so they can only rely on Lu Menglin to deal with it himself.

Lu Menglin looked at the guy with an arrogant face, but there was an awe-inspiring meaning in his chest.

"Ask whatever you want!"

Master Xiao Wang laughed twice and said, "I have also read your "Anti-Matter War", and it is indeed well written! However, I doubt that you wrote it yourself!"

"I heard that you are only in your second year of high school, but a high school student who didn't even go to college can write this kind of hard science fiction, and you have a lot of academic theories about antimatter. I'm sure a lot of readers here have questions, so what I want to ask is, was this novel really written by you?"

Master Wang's accusation can be said to be quite serious, and if he doesn't answer well, it is very likely that he will bury a promising young author.

And for him, it is obviously irresponsible to ask this question, even questioning. He elevated himself to the position of representing the reader, and easily stood on the highest point of morality.

Lu Menglin shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Do you want me to prove by myself that this novel is my original next?"

His self-deprecating answer immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Master Xiao Wang came prepared, of course, he would not be perfunctory by a few casual words, straightened his waist, and said: "You don't need to prove it yourself, I specially invited a friend, he is an expert specializing in nuclear physics, and he is currently working at the Kunming Institute of Physics. He will ask you a few general knowledge questions about antimatter, and as long as you can answer them and prove that you have some knowledge of antimatter, then you will prove that you are the author of this article. ”

If you can't answer this basic question, then you are not the author of the novel, but someone else. ”

As soon as Master Xiao Wang's words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Who would have thought that he would invite a scientific researcher specializing in antimatter to be present to verify whether Lu Menglin really understands antimatter science.

This proposal may sound like nothing wrong, but when you think about it, it feels quite wrong!

Lu Menglin is the author of science fiction novels, and you let scientific researchers test the scientific knowledge of the novelists, isn't this nonsense?

The audience immediately shouted, "This is not fair! Writing novels relies on imagination, not experiments! Isn't this embarrassing!"

But immediately someone shouted: "To write science fiction novels, you should know at least the most basic scientific knowledge and concepts." ”

Master Xiao Wang said: "Don't worry, we will ask him some basic concepts, and try not to exceed the high school level." ”

As he said this, there was another round of boos.

High school physics doesn't know what antimatter is, after all, it's still embarrassing for others!

However, this moment of contradiction and conflict is what many people want to see. If you want to be a teenager and become famous, you have to stand the test.

Lu Menglin was expressionless and nodded silently.

Master Xiao Wang called triumphantly: "Researcher Sun, please ask questions!"

A lanky, short man sitting to his left stood up and took the microphone from Master Wang's hand.

His name is Sun Bin, to be precise, he is a bitter experimental dog, working at the Kunming Institute of Physics, this time he accompanied the teacher to Beijing to negotiate the purchase of instruments from foreign businessmen.

He and this Master Wang are high school classmates, and they have always been very jealous of the glamour and income of these writers, and now that he finally has the opportunity to step on people, he is naturally on the side of Master Xiao Wang.

"Wait a minute, if I prove that this article was indeed written by me, then should you apologize to me in public!" Lu Menglin frowned lightly and asked seriously.

Sun Bin frowned, as soon as he saw this kid on the stage, he felt very unhappy.

This kid is only in his second year of high school, so he can stand on the stage and enjoy the popularity of everyone, Lao Tzu has read all his life, and now he is still a poor experimental dog, and he is called by the professor every day, why?

Master Xiao Wang smiled confidently: "Of course! If you can prove yourself, we should apologize!"

He really felt that this Lu Menglin was most likely a writer packaged by Ji Hu, just a sophomore in high school, how could he write novels, even if he could write, it was absolutely impossible to understand the cutting-edge science of antimatter.

In order to be admitted to college, high school students in this era have a clear distinction between liberal arts and sciences, and it is absolutely impossible for so-called generalists to appear.

And even if this kid is really a generalist, it is absolutely impossible to beat Sun Bin who has been experimenting in the research institute professionally, he has already greeted Sun Bin, no matter what, he must make the other party ugly.

"Then you ask!" Lu Menglin said lightly.

Sun Bin cheered up and said with a smile: "I have read the novel you wrote, in which the description of the characteristics of antimatter is quite complete, I believe that those who can write this article definitely know more than just the concept of antimatter." ”

"In your article, it is mentioned that when antiparticles and particles collide at high energy and annihilate and cancel, a huge amount of energy can be released, and this energy can be calculated by the E=MC2 mass energy formula, and the release rate of this energy is much higher than that of nuclear bombs and neutron bombs, so it is used in future wars. ”

"My question, then, is why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe that we have observed, and since they were born together, theoretically the same amount should be the same. Why is that?"
