Volume 1 Chapter 93 The World Is What We Push
Chapter Ninety-Three: The World Is What We Push
This is a fully enclosed room similar to a large classroom, with tables, chairs, benches, blackboards, windows, windows on the wall, but not real windows, some high-tech materials spell out the appearance of windows, and vividly, simulating the brightness of sunlight on the glass - An Feng, who is not a modern person, swept over at a glance and recognized which high-tech materials that make up the windows are the so-called "cold light sources" that will be listed more than ten years later.
There were twelve people in the room, sitting or standing. There were five middle-aged men and women sitting on the blackboard, and four students in the first and second rows, but they were probably senior students, so they chatted with the middle-aged men and women with a relaxed demeanor. Sitting near the entrance were three younger students, who were sitting in a daze, not communicating with anyone.
There was a slight rumble behind An Feng, and the bookshelf closed, which meant that the door was closed. When there was a cluck, a man in his forties in front of the blackboard clapped his hands and beckoned, "Okay, everyone has finally arrived, come on, let's welcome our last members." ”
An Feng let go of the suitcase, nodded implicitly to the applauding crowd, and then quietly found a seat and sat down. At this time, the man on the podium slapped loudly, stopping the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and then An Feng said: "New here, let's start with you and introduce yourself." ”
"Kane Ahn", after a pause, An Feng immediately added: "It can also be Iguazu Tonna Condon, from the United Kingdom, recommended by the Super Intelligence Club, good at martial arts, and computer technology." ”
An Feng reported two identities at once, and the people present did not blink at this, as if this was a normal phenomenon. Sure enough, the woman who introduced herself next also reported two identities.
"Ellie Suren, or Jenny Bhim, from Wyoming, recommended by the Prometheus Club, good at physics, and nautical."
The three people who introduced themselves were all sitting by the door, except for Ellie Suren, the other two were men, a black man named Henry was from South Africa, and Mario was from Spain. These three people, plus An Feng, are all new to school this year, five middle-aged men and women are everyone's teachers, and several students sitting in the front row are senior students.
The leader of the team was the middle-aged man standing in front of the blackboard named Tom - a pseudonym at first sound. But it doesn't matter, the name is just a code name.
After everyone had introduced themselves, Tom asked the four new entrants, "I beg your pardon, I want to make sure again: do you know the institute well?" Are you aware that joining the Institute of Life Sciences is purely voluntary? Are you sure that you were not coerced, coerced, or threatened by anyone, and decided to join this institute with complete autonomy? ”
The four newcomers, including An Feng, all replied in unison: "ID (we are sure)"
"Alright, you're one of us, welcome ain," Tom said with open arms.
The applause of everyone at Baba - all of them were gentle applause with the slap held high and there was no movement.
After a pause in applause, Tom tapped the table on the blackboard and continued: "It is customary for me to make an opening statement, which I say every year, and I get tired of it, but I must also say - I must say that the world is what we promote. Maybe someone wants to laugh, but it's a fact.
Sixty years ago, someone came up with a genius idea: to intersperse a private message in the transmission of computer data -- this is the earliest messenger signal, technology. The first to get along with this attention was the genius, and the first to pay attention to this new technology was the high-IQ club to which the genius belonged. So, the club decided to invest in this technology, year after year, for forty years, for forty years, and then, bang, the age of the Internet arrived. All kinds of new technologies, new services and new lives are like an avalanche, but who holds all the patents? Who owns the best technology...... Go without saying
As we all know, the age of the Internet is followed by the age of genes...... I happened to read a prediction that said that by the end of this century, the average life expectancy of human beings would reach 140 years. I think his prediction is conservative, that human life expectancy is much more than 140 years.
As we all know, knowledge needs to be accumulated. With the explosion of the Internet age, we have accumulated 40 years of research results. For the genetic era, the accumulation of knowledge is also needed, and our institute is the accumulator...... One. That's why I say that the key is in our hands at the door of the next era.
The institute was founded fifteen years ago and invests in five high-IQ clubs that also reserve lawyers, politicians, policemen, judges, actors, artists, and so on. In this way, when new technologies explode, we will have enough energy and influence enough to make people quickly embrace this era.
Let me repeat: the door to the next era, the key is in our hands. But when to open the door, firstly, depends on our efforts, and secondly, it depends on the timing of the club's choice. They are the bosses and we listen to them. This means that all employees who join must abide by a confidentiality policy and never talk about our research work to anyone. This is true even after leaving the company.
For this reason, we have set up confidentiality measures for you: first, you will be enrolled as a normal student, you must complete your homework normally, but you do not need to go to class to check attendance, the teacher will automatically give you full attendance. Your main task is to work in the graduate school, where we will give you a lot of knowledge beyond the textbook.
In this way, I am afraid that you will not have time to attend the lectures, but I believe that you have the intelligence to study those materials on your own. However, we have a minimum requirement: each person must make at least two classmates to be friends, so that at least two people can attest to your college career. For this reason, you may have to find time to find your own goals in class...... Exactly what method you use is your own business.
Second: After completing the enrollment procedures, you will be one of the few day students...... Let's be straight, you'll be staying in a family we've specially arranged, which is both your daily cover and your security guard. They will be responsible for your personal safety and monitoring after school - don't be nervous, you are still free, you are free to organize your own extracurricular life and conduct your own social activities freely. You can treat them as invisible, and their presence is just a reminder to keep your mouth shut, keep your study materials, and so on
Thirdly, when you enter the school gate, you will start the class five minutes later than the other students, which means that after five minutes, when all the students enter the classroom, you can enter the graduate school building unobtrusively, enter your classroom, and then enter the underground meter through the elevator...... The empty classrooms you leave behind will use electronic devices to simulate the classroom, and so on. You don't have to worry about that.
Okay, so let me talk about our institute, which is divided into two groups, one is the 'perfect gene profiling research group' led by Dr. Natasha, and the other is the cell research group led by me, so our research institute also has two research rooms - one is located on campus, under the ground of the Life Science Research Institute; The other is...... A nuclear submarine.
I think you're all highly intelligent people who know why you built your lab underground, or on a submarine. This is all in order to pursue a closed environment to prevent genetic contamination by external bacteria.
Let me tell you about your personal arrangement: the four new arrivals will be divided into two groups, the first year will be based on their studies in school, and by the way, they will do auxiliary work in my research group, and in the second year you will be formally divided. It should be noted that no matter which group you are in, you all have your own holidays like normal students, but I can't guarantee your schedule. And the vacation...... You must bring your own bodyguards. ”
At this point, Dr. Tom paused to digest what he had said, and then continued: "In our institute, researchers are not tenured, but each participant must be a member of the High IQ Association. Because we are pioneers, pioneering, we need a high IQ, as well as imagination.
But not everyone wants to be Prometheus, and the life of stealing fire is boring, boring, and confining - you must be under constant surveillance, and those who like freedom may not be used to it. But it doesn't matter, after four years of college, those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who are not willing to continue to live this life can leave quietly. Of course, as a former participant, the clubs may have some special arrangements for you, and I think that's what you need, because you know more about the new era than others, and when we need you, we need you to lead that era with us. ”
This partly explains why the institute has been open for 15 years and has such a small number of people.
After Tom said this, the newcomer was expressionless, but he was relieved. While it's wonderful and lucrative to be part of building a new era, it's not easy to live under close surveillance, day in and day out. Who knows how long you can endure it, if there is no exit mechanism, then, sooner or later, everyone will go crazy.
For the rest of the time, everyone greeted each other, and they were familiar with each other.
Dr. Natasha's research group came to recognize people today, and most of the members of their group were women, and the only woman among the newcomers, Eli Suren, was pulled aside by them and corroded for a moment, and An Feng was also dragged by them to test a few words. Half an hour later, everyone had gotten to know each other, Natasha's group seemed to have identified the expedition, and Dr. Tom took his leave. Later, everyone walked one by one every minute and quietly left the principal's office...... The secret room behind it.
An Feng, who left the principal's office with his suitcase, was slightly embarrassed and seemed a little arrogant. As we passed by the library building, a few students sitting on the lawn couldn't help but shout, "Hey, freshman, isn't there a dormitory?" Do you want to find someone to work with? ”
An Feng nodded at the other party amicably, and replied reservedly: "Oh, thank you, I think the dormitory conditions are a bit simple, so ...... Ahem. ”
"Have you found a rental house? Do you want me to help you? ”
This school is a bit of a yin and yang, and there are more female students, especially in the nursing class, the number of students in all grades combined, accounting for a large proportion of students, as for the neurology department and psychiatry, the majority of them are women. Therefore, several people sitting on the lawn were women, and while they were talking, two other women stood up and seemed to want to come over and help carry the luggage...... It seems that with An Feng's ...... It's not difficult to find two targets.
But now is not the right time, An Feng hurriedly raised the brochure in his hand and responded: "Thank you, I have found a house, and I have already booked a rental house."
The two women who stood up stopped, and one of them raised his hand and greeted, "My name is Kelly, a second-year neurology, which department are you in?" ”
An Feng looked around, haha, around the campus, many companions with suitcases were greeting the beautiful woman, and the Spaniard named Mario actually hugged him left and right, and the suitcase was thrown at his feet, and it was full of fallen leaves.
"Kane Ann", since this is the case, then the wisher will take the bait, An Feng greeted warmly: "Freshman of the Department of Health Sciences." ”
After such a conversation, sure enough, Kelly jumped up and walked towards An Feng, this is a young girl about nineteen years old, with short reddish-brown hair, a pure and pretty appearance, she is wearing tights, her breasts are high, and her chest is trembling and jumping when she walks. The lower body is skinny jeans, which makes the buttocks look round and straight. Pedaling Roman boots, with slender and flexible legs, a few jumped to An Feng's side, and reached out to take An Feng's suitcase unceremoniously. Pale gray eyes flashed: "I've never been to Atlantic Town before, I'll send you, where is your house on?" ”
An Feng looked down at the small note in the registration list and read out a street name in a low voice. Kelly moved her limbs and replied, "Well, it's on the edge of town, but luckily it's not big, so let's go." ”
On the lawn, the rest of the girls who didn't grab the lead talked and laughed in a low voice, looking a little stupid. Kelly happily beckoned to them, moving her long legs like a deer, and briskly led An Feng towards the edge of the town.
The four newcomers, as well as the senior students of the graduate school, were basically arranged on the outskirts of the town. It's a big town, but the United States is a country on wheels, and the houses are widely spaced apart from each other, so there's plenty of time for the two to get acquainted with each other, and by the time they reach their destination, they'll be able to hold hands, shoulder to shoulder, and affectionately call each other nicknames.
There were no other pedestrians on this section of the country road, and the landlord and his wife saw An Feng holding a woman's hand from a distance, dragging his luggage, and welcoming him out of the house early. When An Feng stood at the gate of the other party's courtyard, the landlord immediately greeted him familiarly: "Is it Mr. Kane?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
It seems that An Feng's information has been transmitted to the landlord in advance, and when the old agent spoke, his sharp eyes swept over Kelly, and he vaguely sent a questioning signal to An Feng, An Feng shook his head slightly, indicating that he could not confirm whether the other party was safe. The old agent's jaw pressed to show that he understood.
It's a family that looks normal on the outside...... Well, this old landlord is actually an eliminated or retired member of the intelligence agency, this kind of person knows too many secrets, and even if he retires, he will be disconnected from the intelligence agency. They are often arranged by the intelligence agencies in such a way that they are given a stipend to take up another profession, that they occasionally have to shelter a special witness or that they are exposed to a sensitive person. But it is also possible that they will not be enabled for the rest of their lives.
The couple are local farmers and have a land of hundreds of hectares, and they use airplanes to sow and spread pesticides, so the courtyard is large, with a hangar and an airstrip. There's also an eight-year-old boy in the house, and he's very lively and curious. An Feng lives in a large suite, he can eat and live with the old couple, but his suite is also very well-equipped, and he can cook by himself.
Put away her simple luggage, Kelly enthusiastically led An Feng to the street, purchasing daily necessities, the landlord and his wife generously lent their private car to An Feng, with a car to travel, An Feng's actions were much faster, bought all the textbooks and books, added daily necessities, and the rest of the time Kelly served as a tour guide to guide An Feng to familiarize himself with the campus and school facilities......
It's a Freemason-funded school with cheap tuition, negligible accommodation, and free meals for four years. But because of the Masonic background, except for a few fools who are the decoration and cover of the school, the rest of the people basically have double faces.
But people with dual faces know each other, never expose each other, and never reveal the clues for fools to notice – and that's the skill they had to learn in the four-year course: disguise and disguise. And seeing through other people's disguises and covers is also one of the courses of school inspection
Throughout the day, Kelly seemed lively and innocent. Almost all questions about An Feng are answered, but I don't know if this face is disguised or real.
At night, when the tense day finally ended, Kelly took the initiative to leave, her eyes shining and said, "I remember your home, hehe, remember to invite me as a guest, and I wish you a happy school career." ”
"Thank you for your help, what would I do without you", An Feng sincerely thanked.
Waiting for Kelly's figure to disappear on the path, An Feng stood in the courtyard and dialed Argyle's phone and greeted, "Argyle, send my car over." I'm here......
Argyle replied awkwardly, "Five minutes." ”
At this time, An Feng heard the sound of Suo Suo behind him, he hung up the phone calmly, and slowly turned around He saw a pair of sparkling eyes, it was the landlord's child, he was holding a Chinese textbook in his hand, and showed eight teeth at An Feng, and said with a smile: "Hi, hello, are you an agent?" ”
"No, I'm a student, an ordinary student...... How do you think I'm an agent? An Feng's eyes were deep, he glanced at the door out of his eyes, slowly walked towards the child, and asked.
The boy turned to look at his door, made a boo gesture, and said, "They don't tell me, but I know that my tenants have a problem, and they ...... These tenants are always elusive, and they all have guns on them. Hee-hee, I know what this town is, and I know what the people in this town are. You're really not an agent? Do you have a gun? ”
