Chapter 290: House Arrest
The island nation of Kyoto is an international metropolis that has long been developed, with skyscrapers and a lot of traffic. Updates are fast and ad-free.
Sitting in the back of the taxi, Zhou quietly looked out the window, the prosperity of the city does not seem to be prosperous, compared with Ninghang, it is just like that, almost.
Huaxia is really strong.
Zhou An remembered that when he looked at the information before leaving, he accidentally glanced at it, and the current housing prices in Kyoto City are not a little worse than those in the first-tier cities in China.
Thirty years in Haidong, thirty years in Haixi.
The place he is going to now is an apartment near Kyoto University.
Zheng Qiusheng lived there.
Zheng Qiusheng arrived a few days earlier than himself, and Zhou An had already installed a fly-eye invisible camera on him before, recording everything he had experienced in its entirety.
After coming to the island country, Zheng Qiusheng received extremely high-standard treatment at the first time - a letter of appointment from Kyoto University and the honorary title of tenured professor.
For an academic, this is one of the highest achievements in the professional field, after all, Kyoto University is also ranked among the top international universities in the Ivy League of Universities.
Moreover, the island countries' respect for scientific researchers, as well as their economic preferential treatment, are really more than a little bit stronger than those in China.
Zheng Qiusheng accepted.
He didn't hesitate to accept it.
The reason is not only the preferential treatment in all aspects, but also the important reason is that the person who came to issue the letter of appointment and the honorary certificate was his daughter and her daughter's boyfriend.
Zheng Qiusheng's daughter, Zheng Yixiao, is now a student at Kyoto University.
His daughter's boyfriend, Chihiro Kitano, is the youngest Ph.D. in biology at Kyoto University.
Seem...... Everything looks wonderful.
Zheng Qiusheng himself has been studying in the island country for many years, and now he can have the current ending, which is not an unacceptable result for himself.
It can even be said that it is a pretty good ending.
It's all about eating, where is it different?
If you can eat lobster and abalone, why should you eat salty porridge and greens?
But soon, Zheng Qiusheng sensed that something was wrong.
Daughter Zheng Yixiao and son-in-law Chihiro Kitano showed an extremely strong desire in academics, constantly knocking on their previous research results.
What are the results of those studies...... It is the deepest secret in Zheng Qiusheng's heart, and it is also the reason why he returned to China a few years ago.
He knew very well that once the results of those studies were exposed, they would cause an uproar around the world, which was tantamount to a Pandora's box, and no one knew what would happen.
A scientist's final professional ethics and bottom line tell him that those achievements, speculations and theories, even his own daughter, cannot be revealed.
Therefore, after letting his daughter and prospective son-in-law tempt, even tempt and threaten, but still did not get a satisfactory answer, Zheng Qiusheng was put under house arrest.
Zheng Qiusheng was placed under house arrest in the basement of an apartment at Kyoto University.
It can be seen that this place has been carefully renovated, as if it is a cage specially prepared for high-level intellectuals.
It's a nice underground space.
In addition to not being able to go out and communicate with the outside world, there is a library, a gym, a café, a billiards bar, and even an astronomical telescope, where you can take a look at the starry sky underground and imagine freedom for a while.
This is all that happened to Zheng Qiusheng after his arrival.
The purpose of Zhou An's current visit is to meet him.
To be honest, Zheng Qiusheng's treatment made Zhou An feel a little surprised.
In China, Zhou An knew that Zheng Qiusheng was a very famous scholar, but he really didn't expect that the research results that Zheng Qiusheng mastered would make the island countries pay so much attention to it.
After getting out of the taxi and arriving at the periphery of the apartment, Zhou An walked around the apartment and found that the guards here were extremely strict, there were several hidden posts outside the door, and there were infrared cameras in the secret places, which can be said to be quite strict defense measures, even if it was a mosquito, it was difficult to fly in.
However, this is not a big problem for Zhou An.
Wearing Superman's underwear, he turned on the stealth function, as if he was in a no-man's land, and followed the ventilation duct of the apartment directly to the basement.
Now.
In the underground space, Zheng Qiusheng was sitting in front of his desk, meticulously writing.
Zhou An walked behind him silently, and saw the words on the white paper, and there was only one word throughout the whole article - quiet.
Zhou An couldn't help but smile.
Probably, this Professor Zheng is also in turmoil at this time, so he needs to rely on this method to soothe his emotions.
Carefully inspected in the basement, several cameras were skillfully handled.
With his technical means, it is not easy to deal with this, and even the monitoring system will not find any clues.
Then, Zhou An appeared in the room.
"Mr. Zheng. ”
Zhou An looked at him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, Zheng Qiusheng was taken aback, his arm trembled, and a drop of thick ink suddenly sprinkled on the paper, fainting a large lump of ink.
"You!"
"How did you get in?"
When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly put down the brush and said with some excitement and some doubts.
Zhou An shook his head.
"Now is not the time to discuss this, you just need to know that I can get you out. Moreover, only I can get you out. ”
Zheng Qiusheng was silent for a moment, and looked at Zhou An with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
"I have some questions for you. ”
Zhou An looked at him expressionlessly, and asked without refusal: "What are your research results?
Zheng Qiusheng's body trembled slightly, and the emotions in his eyes became more complicated.
He lowered his head and didn't look at Zhou An, his hands were on the table, looking a little nervous.
He didn't expect Zhou An to be so direct.
You must know that he is not only wary of the island government, but also the Huaxia government.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces.
Science and technology are also the first destructive force.
If the government gets the results of their own research, no one knows what the politicians will decide.
"I know it's hard for you to say that, after all, you haven't even told your own daughter. ”
"In this way, we can start simpler. ”
"First of all, what are the main aspects of your research? I won't ask you about the specific experimental data, or the formula, or anything like that. ”
Zhou An's voice slowed down a little.
The questioning should be done little by little, especially when dealing with intellectuals like Zheng Qiusheng, who are all cultural people, after all, they are still reasonable, and they must be heart-to-heart.
Hearing Zhou An's words, Zheng Qiusheng hesitated, sighed deeply, and said in a low voice: "That is my research result for more than ten years, which can be said to be a major discovery, or a huge failure. As for myself, I don't even know if this research should continue because ...... It could change the fate of humanity as a whole. ”
Well?
Zhou An came to be interested.
At this moment, Zhou An couldn't help but think of the huge, hideous and terrifying mouse he had seen in Zheng Qiusheng's house.
Does that mouse have anything to do with his experiments?
Zhou quietly looked at him and waited patiently for the following.
