After giving the order to recover the meteorite, Wu Lao turned back to Professor Chu and Lin Hai and said, "You two have stayed up all night, can you still hold on now?" ”

"No problem!" Lao Chu nodded and agreed, "I can still hold on, and when it doesn't work, I'll say it directly." ”

"That's good." Wu Lao nodded, "Take the meteorite and follow me to the headquarters, people from other places can't come back in a short time, you two can rest for a while when you get to the place." ”

"Okay." Professor Chu and Lin Hai agreed, closed the box that had been fused with the meteorite, and then put it into a plastic suitcase, and followed Wu Lao to the headquarters by car.

Wu Lao informed the staff of the headquarters on the way, and after arriving at the place, the three of them drove directly into the compound, and under the guidance of the staff, entered an arranged internal conference room.

After entering the internal conference room of the headquarters and sitting down, Professor Chu and Lin Hai, who were already tired, handed over the box containing the meteorite to Wu Lao, and the two fell asleep directly on the conference table.

Wu Lao carefully opened the box, looked at this special meteorite, and analyzed the current situation with a frown.

Up to now, Wu Lao is still a little conservative, so he has not directly informed the other people in charge of the entire big project, nor has he informed the real top of the entire country.

After seeing other meteorites and other people who have come into contact with meteorites, Wu Lao will report it to the decision-makers of this country after confirming that the characteristics of the meteorites are real from different people.

Therefore, Wu Lao didn't even tell them the truth now, even the people in the headquarters, but just said that he was going to borrow a high-level confidential conference room temporarily.

The air in the conference room was exceptionally quiet, only the intermittent snoring of Lin Hai and Professor Chu kept echoing around.

Half an hour later, Mr. Wu's phone rang.

Wu Lao glanced at it, he was the person in charge of meteorite recovery, and he picked it up without hesitation:

"How's it going? Have all the meteorites been recovered? Where have you been? ”

The voice of the person in charge was a little unnatural: "Report to Mr. Wu, yesterday we got eight relatively intact meteorites, all of which were distributed, and so far, except for one from Professor Chu's side, we have recovered six of the other seven......"

At this point, the voice of the person in charge became a little hesitant.

When Wu Lao heard the tone of the person in charge, he couldn't help but start worrying: "Don't talk about it, if you have something to say!" What happened to the last piece? ”

The person in charge said very carefully: "The last piece...... It was supposed to be assigned to the Imperial Capital No. 46 laboratory, but after we passed, the scientists there said that the meteorite was not with them.

"When we distributed the meteorites last night, their laboratory was closed, so the graduate students who came to us to collect the meteorite, after getting the meteorite, did not return to the laboratory, but went directly to their residence.

But until now, the graduate student has not returned to the lab, and the phone has not been able to get through, so I have now arranged for two people to go to the graduate student's residence to find it.

"Am I waiting here now, finding all the meteorites and going to the headquarters, or am I going to go first with the meteorites that I already have in hand?"

Wu Lao ordered without hesitation: "Bring it back first, and notify me as soon as there is news over there." ”

"Understood." The person in charge said yes and hung up the phone.

After another half an hour, the person in charge of retrieving the meteorite, together with his own men, arrived at the headquarters with six meteorites and four scientific researchers.

The person in charge first reported the current situation to Wu Lao.

A total of eight meteorites were distributed to the imperial capital and eight surrounding laboratories yesterday.

When the meteorite was distributed yesterday, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the people returned to the office with the meteorite, and the time was even later.

The vast majority of laboratory leaders have long lost interest and enthusiasm for this project, and have long been completely unexpected, and they have regarded it as routine work.

So after going back last night, most of the people casually left the meteorite in the laboratory first, waiting for work this morning to go to work and then go to the test.

And early this morning, Wu Lao arranged for someone to go to their laboratory to recover the meteorite, and most people didn't have time to see the meteorite.

Therefore, up to now, counting Professor Chu and Lin Hai, there are only three groups of people, three old professors, with five students, a total of eight people, who have discovered the characteristics of meteorites.

Wu Lao asked each group of people a brief question, and confirmed that the characteristics they found were all the same, the same as what Lao Chu told him.

After briefly appeasing them, Wu Lao immediately turned around, took the person in charge of recovering the meteorite, went to the small office next to him, locked the door, and asked:

"Now there are seven meteorites here, how is the eighth?"

The person in charge said with a bitter face: "Mr. Wu, that kid, ran away with a meteorite." ”

"Ran!" Wu Lao was taken aback, "What do you mean......"

The person in charge nodded and said: "Our people, after arriving at his residence, found that the scene was in a mess, and it was obvious that the people left in a hurry."

"After I felt that something was wrong, I immediately contacted the public security and customs, checked the entry and exit records, and then found out that he left Donghua for America on a flight at 4 o'clock in the morning today."

"Bastard! Scum! After hearing this, Wu Lao couldn't control his emotions anymore, this matter was really bad.

However, as a weathered veteran, Wu Lao knew very well in his heart that it would be useless to be angry now, and what he needed to do now was how to deal with the aftermath.

Wu Lao quickly controlled his emotions, glanced at the time, frowned and said:

"It's 10 a.m., and it's 4 a.m., and no matter which city you're going to in America, the flight hasn't landed yet, so why don't you order the airline to get the plane back...... Forehead ......"

When Wu Lao said this, he immediately understood: "Since you didn't do this, does it mean that this beast went to the surrounding countries first, and then went to America?" ”

The person in charge sighed helplessly: "Yes, he has a visa for Neon and America, flies to Neon on our plane, and then changes to Neon's plane to fly to America." ”

After hearing this, Wu Lao clenched his fists vigorously: "Go to Neon first, and then take the neon plane to America, the neon plane is not under our direct control."

"With our relationship with Neon, if we ask Neon's plane to return, they will most likely not do it.

"And for us to suddenly make such a special request, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of neon.

"So even if they follow our request to return home, they will definitely return to Neon Land first, and they will definitely check that kid's bags before us, and they will almost certainly discover the characteristics of the meteorite."

"Moreover, this kid probably had been in contact with the American side before he left.

"He should have received all kinds of promises from America, and the connector over there should have been waiting for him at the airport, otherwise he wouldn't have abandoned everything in Donghua and ran away directly.

"His itinerary is very well arranged by the American side, for Neon, our return requirements, and America's requirements for not allowing to return, Neon will definitely implement America's.

"Even, we can maliciously speculate that this kid may have been America's spy in the first place.

"Now if you don't want the meteorite to fall into the hands of America, there is only one last way left......"
