Earth, Federal Academy of Sciences.

It has been a full year since Meng Lin was transferred from Pluto Base to the branch of the Federal Academy of Sciences, and during this year, he quickly became familiar with his new job under Tang Wei's care, and at the same time made great achievements in several latest projects.

Tian Lao, the president of the Federal Academy of Sciences, is about to step down from his position as president, although with his current physical condition, it is no problem to continue to hold this position, but this time the resignation is proposed by Tian Lao himself, according to his words, he has been a vegetarian for so many years, with the continuous development of the Federal Academy of Sciences, his task as the dean has also been completed, the future belongs to young people, belongs to those more forward-looking young scientists, for the future of the Federal Academy of Sciences, it is natural for him to step down.

In fact, in addition to this reason, Tian Lao has sat in the position of dean for so many years, and it can be said that he has almost laid the foundation of the entire Federal Academy of Sciences. Although Tian Lao has always said that he is not so tall, the key to the development of the Federal Academy of Sciences is the efforts of all scientists and scientific researchers, as well as the credit of Su Yichen, who left the earth for the depths of the universe a long time ago, and he is just at the right time as the dean. In addition, the dean's work over the years has also made him a little exhausted and mentally feeling a little powerless, so it is a good choice for him to take the initiative to retire at this time, both for the Academy of Sciences and for himself.

After Tian Lao leaves office, the successor to the post of president of the Federal Academy of Sciences will be selected by the committee among several candidates, among which the loudest is Tang Wei's old friend Dr. Elena, but Dr. Elena herself does not seem to be very interested in this proposal, and has been busy with her research on a topic these days, but according to the rumors revealed within the committee, Dr. Elena's replacement as dean is almost real news.

This time, Meng Lin came to the headquarters of the Federal Academy of Sciences to participate in a topic discussion meeting on behalf of the branch, which happened to be closely related to the project that Meng Lin is currently responsible for. So Tang Wei handed over this participation quota to Meng Lin.

The headquarters of the Federal Academy of Sciences, this place Meng Lin is both familiar and unfamiliar, saying that it is familiar because this place was the northwest base of China before, and Meng Lin had worked on this land with Su Yichen many years ago, and it can be said that this place has left the most profound memories in his life.

It's strange because the current headquarters of the Federal Academy of Sciences is completely different from the northwest base of the past. As far as the eye can see, there is no trace of the past at all. After so many years of construction and expansion, the area of the entire Federal Academy of Sciences has far exceeded the scale of the northwest base of that year, and except for the outline of the underground part is still partially maintained, all the buildings were re-planned and built later, and even the desert that was unobstructed in the early years not far away has now become an oasis. It's like being in Gangnam.

The topic discussion meeting began in the afternoon of Meng Lin's arrival, and the whole meeting lasted for three days, during which Meng Lin gained a lot, and through mutual discussion with many outstanding scientists and scientific research workers, it opened another breakthrough for their respective research projects, which made Meng Lin very happy.

Moreover, this kind of purely academic topic discussion meeting is also the favorite of those who are engaged in scientific research, and everyone can freely express their ideas together. Hypotheses are put forward in a whimsical manner, or debated and discussed in a-for-tat manner. After the meeting. No matter how much the arguments were in the meeting, the scientists parted like reluctant old friends, and agreed to continue to communicate through the Internet after returning to continue their judgments and speculations on the direction of research.

Today was the end of the meeting, and Meng Lin did not return to the branch as they did, but continued to stay at the Federal Academy of Sciences for an extra day. It's not that he's not busy with his work. Because before he came, Tang Wei had asked him to help bring a gift to Dr. Elena, but after several days of continuous meetings, Meng Lin couldn't get out at all, and after the meeting, he contacted Dr. Elena's assistant, and her assistant told Meng Lin that Dr. Elena's work in the laboratory today. I definitely didn't have time to receive him, so I made an appointment to meet tomorrow at noon. Therefore, Meng Lin had to stay for an extra day for the time being, and wait until noon tomorrow to hand over the gift to Dr. Yelena before returning to the branch.

After the establishment of the Earth Alliance, the time zones of each region were readjusted, and the original northwest region was based on the central time, but in view of the difference in time zones, it often brings a lot of inconvenience, for example, at night, it is already dark in eastern China, and the sun in the northwest region still does not set. Now, the readjustment of the time zone has made the situation much better, although the night in the northwest is still later, but at least it has given people a lot of convenience in their living habits.

At six o'clock in the evening local time, after Meng Lin saw off the last colleague who left, he looked at the time and touched his slightly hungry stomach, and actually felt a little hungry. Because the meeting had ended, and the meals arranged by the meeting were gone, Meng Lin had to solve the problem of eating by himself. In fact, this is not a big problem for the Federal Academy of Sciences, because the Federal Academy of Sciences has a complete canteen organization, and according to the huge division of the Academy of Sciences, there are a total of nine canteens of different sizes, and Meng Lin only needs to directly find a canteen with the identity card of his Academy of Sciences.

happened to be free, Meng Lin was not in a hurry to find the cafeteria first, but walked slowly in the Federal Academy of Sciences, he planned to take a good look at this place where he had worked and lived. Walking out of a half area, still not finding the scenery he was once familiar with, Meng Lin sighed a little disappointed, at this time he felt a little hungry again, and asked someone about the location of the canteen in this area, Meng Lin walked along the road.

Not long after, he came to a canteen, each canteen has a slightly different appearance, don't look at it is just a canteen, but its construction design is designed by several of the most famous designers of the Academy of Sciences, and the construction is supervised by the architectural experts of the Academy of Sciences.

This is almost unimaginable elsewhere, but it is a common occurrence here. You must know that the most important thing in the Federal Academy of Sciences is the spire of people from all walks of life, among the people who come and go within the Academy of Sciences, just pull out a person who either has a doctor's degree or a professor's title, and the most unfortunate is also an associate professor or a double master's degree, "Scholars have many dogs, doctors walk all over the ground" This joke has long become a self-deprecation of the Federal Academy of Sciences, not to mention these canteens, even some toilets are from the hands of famous people, those boring designers in their spare time, Why should architects directly practice the architecture around them and the buildings they work on?
