Chapter 424: Trapped

Lin then began in the Great Lakes region and made a detour southeast to sweep away invasive species, along the river, in a large circle across the United States, and finally in Minnesota.

With the cooperation of the local agricultural department, the clean-up work went very smoothly and took only about three months.

White House, Office of the President.

“…… Anyway, until now, we still don't know anything about the secrets of Vientiane, right?" Trump asked, looking at FBI Director Christopher Wray, who was standing in front of him.

Ray nodded slightly: "That's true." ”

"They were very well guarded, and we didn't have any more detailed information...... Although we had stumbled upon two discarded foam boxes, it was very strange that after a week of meticulous testing, our technicians did not find any valuable clues from them. ”

Trump frowned: "Foam box?"

"Yes, two very thick foam boxes, which in themselves don't seem to be anything special. However, it is a container for "reagents", and we think we may be able to find some clues from it. Ray said.

"Judging from the available data, the "reagent" releases a large amount of white smoke when it comes into contact with the air, which can quickly kill invasive species such as silver carp, but there is no obvious harm to the human body, and it will disappear in a very short time, and it may be very volatile, and it may also react with the air......

How could the FBI people have thought that their so-called "reagents" are nothing more than a pile of solid nitrogen? And after this solid nitrogen is vaporized, it is the most common nitrogen in the air, which is everywhere and grabs a handful.

Ray continued: "In terms of effect, we believe that the 'reagent' must have an effect on the genes of the organism. However, it is still uncertain whether Vientiane has mastered the powerful, mature genetic technology that can precisely target the human race. ”

When Trump heard this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly: "What a mysterious and troublesome guy...... The same is true of the fermion vertical traction instrument, in the past year, except for a few painless papers, nothing has been obtained, and a lot of money has been spent. ”

"I wonder if Huaxia has a relationship with aliens. ”

After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, we finally got rid of the Asian carp." For the time being, you can get busy. ”

Christopher Ray did not leave immediately, but his face was a little hesitant.

"What, is there anything else?" Trump asked.

"Mr. President, this may be a little inappropriate, but I think I need to remind you...... Although it is not possible to confirm the research progress of the Huaxia Singularity Research Institute for the time being, the quantum annealing computer of D-AVE is of extraordinary significance, and I do not recommend selling it to Huaxia. ”

Trump was silent for a while, and then nodded slightly noncommittally: "I know." ”

……

A few weeks later, when the U.S. government paid Vientiane $38 billion, Lin Han was told by a White House aide that the delivery of the two D-AVE quantum annealing computers ordered by the Singularity Research Institute had been delayed for "undisclosed reasons."

Vientiane can cancel the booking and receive cash compensation, or it is also possible to make a "temporarily uncertain waiting".

The White House staff said a lot, in short, in one sentence: the quantum annealer you want is gone, so why don't you love it.

Lin Han also understood that he was probably cheated.

When he negotiated with Trump, he agreed that the United States would allow Vientiane to buy two quantum annealing computers in addition to paying $38 billion.

Quantum annealing computer is the highest level that quantum computers can achieve at this stage, and its significance is self-evident, and it is also an extremely strict embargoed product against China.

Due to its peculiarity, the relevant agreement is not clearly written. But Lin Han still didn't expect that Trump would not only say "ok" and "no", but also be unambiguous when it came to the account, and now in this situation, he just doesn't plan to give it anyway.

Although 38 billion US dollars was already a bloody gain, Lin Han couldn't help but be a little annoyed when the quantum annealing machine that was about to arrive suddenly flew away.

Of course, he also knows that the reputation of the world's number one hooligan is not in vain, and since the US imperialists do not want to give it, Vientiane has no other way but to admit it.

With a smile on his face, Lin Han returned to the room and stood in front of the balcony in contemplation.

Since Trump took office, although his words and deeds have been controversial, it must be said that as the president of the United States, he has done a pretty good job, which can be seen from the soaring US stock market.

And compared with just coming to power, with the rise of the U.S. economy, Trump's image and reputation have changed greatly.

The United States is a politically correct place, where no matter what you think in your heart, you have to show respect for women, respect for blacks, respect for Indians, respect for homosexuals, respect for transgender people...... The appearance of kindness and integrity.

Anyone who accidentally says something racist or sexist will face very serious consequences, and there are not a few people who lose their jobs for this.

The existence of the previous black president has made the politically correct atmosphere in the United States almost to the point of deformity.

For example, there is a joke about "who is the best in the United States?" and the answer is "Indian and African-American transgender lesbians......

As soon as anyone utters a half-discriminatory remark, the people around them will immediately jump up and shout, "Oh my God, you are actually discriminating", as if they had seen a living ghost.

And Trump is just an upright boy, who never beats around the bush when he speaks, likes to talk about interests, and is good at calculation.

His supporters are often the broad masses of the people who are disgusted with political correctness, but dare not speak out, until Trump appeared and silently expressed his heart with his votes.

So at the beginning, what people saw was all kinds of condemnation of Trump, and the media was making news every day and criticizing all kinds of fiercely.

However, with Trump's actions, the U.S. stock market has risen all the way, the unemployment rate has continued to fall, the economy has improved across the board, and his supporters have finally stood up and dared to slap their faces.

In the face of a tangible economic upswing, the White Left has nothing to say, although they are disgusted with Trump.

Coupled with the "post-autumn reckoning" of the media after taking office, it is natural that Trump's image has improved significantly recently.

Now, Trump has one year left in his first term, and he has made it clear that he wants to be re-elected.

There is no doubt that a good president of the United States will not be a good friend of the Chinese people.

So Lin Han couldn't help but think, it seems that in the next year, he should do something.
