167. The Invisible Ceiling (Twenty-Five)
"Why did you come to the Academy of Sciences?" Although Gu Fan knew that his authority was not enough to be qualified to ask this question, in order to confirm a certain conjecture, he still asked it head-on. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Sure enough, the middle-aged man in the lead frowned, and responded in a cold tone: "This officer, I'm afraid your question is beyond the scope of what I can answer. ā
"I'm very sorry. We are currently investigating a very difficult case, and as the main person in charge of the case, I should not let go of any useful leads. A cold light flashed in Gu Fan's eyes, and he slowly took out the gun on his waist and pointed directly at the middle-aged man in the lead: "Please explain the purpose of this trip of the Academy of Sciences immediately!" ā
The middle-aged man looked at the young police chief in front of him and directly took out a gun and pointed it at his eyebrows, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he pointed at Gu Fan angrily: "This police officer, do you know what you're doing?" ā
Gu Fan's fingers touched the trigger slightly, and said lightly: "I know very well what I am doing, and I also hope that you can understand your current situation...... Now here, I'm betting on my future and your life just to get an answer! ā
"Why the hell did you come to the Academy of Sciences?"
Seeing that this policeman had become so frenzied, and that he had no weapons at hand to fight back, the middle-aged man also calmed down, knowing that it was pointless for him to resist, so he could only forcibly suppress his anger and try to say the mission of their trip in an unwavering tone:
"We came to the Academy of Sciences this time to transfer authority."
"Transfer permissions?" Gu Fan still didn't put down the gun in his hand, he was stunned when he heard the words, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"That's right. Wang Changming, the president of the Academy of Sciences, was accused of homicide, hasn't he been criminally detained by your Tiandu Police Department? The middle-aged man said angrily: "But Wang Changming, as the president of the Academy of Sciences, has the control authority of the supercomputer in the starship's main control room...... We are here to temporarily hand over authority to the next priority staff. ā
"The next priority staff...... Is it Vice President Li Mingduan? ā
"Of course. However, we are not handing over control to Vice President Li. The middle-aged man paused, and continued: "The supercomputer in the starship's main control room, the authority is divided into two parts, which are jointly held by the two top leaders of the Academy of Sciences, and only when both of them turn on the permission at the same time, can the supercomputer really start. At present, in the Academy of Sciences, the two highest authority holders are President Wang and Vice President Li. ā
"Now that Dean Wang is in custody, but Vice President Li already has a mandate in his hands, then Dean Wang's authority can only be temporarily transferred to the third priority staff."
"Who's the third-in-line staff?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little strange when he looked at Gu Fan, whose face was already very ugly, but seeing that he was still being pointed at by the muzzle of the black hole, he had to answer honestly: "Ye Chang, Academician Ye." ā
Hearing this name, Gu Fan only felt that he was suddenly in the cold winter wind, and the blood in his whole body was frozen......
ā¦ā¦
Tread - step - step - step -
On the bridge of the levitating starship, two men in white overalls walked firmly through the long corridor, one of them was still young and looked to be in his early thirties, while the other was already full of silver hair and his face was already full of ravines.
The two men, one old and one young, quickly arrived at the location of the main control room, and the two soldiers guarding next to the main control room were obviously very familiar with these two men, and they saluted at the same time, and said solemnly: "Vice President Li, Academician Ye!" ā
Ye Chang, who walked slightly forward, ignored the two, while Li Mingduan, who was slightly behind, nodded at the two soldiers and said with a smile: "It's hard." ā
"We're going to go into the control room."
"Please show your pass!"
Ye Chang and Li Mingduan handed over their passes, and after the guards checked it, they handed the passes back to the two of them, and said respectfully: "Please come in, two of you." ā
The two soldiers stationed there immediately moved out of the doorway, signaling that they could enter.
But at this time, the gray-haired Li Mingduan stopped at the door and did not walk in.
He looked at Ye Chang's back in front of him with somewhat cloudy eyes, and said with emotion: "Xiao Ye, wait a minute." ā
Ye Chang, who was about to enter the main control room, was stunned and stopped there, but did not look back.
"Have you decided? If you go in, you can't turn back. ā
At this time, Ye Chang's back was unusually straight, still facing Li Mingduan: "I never thought of turning back." ā
"Yes, yes. Xiao Ye, you are still young, it is the time when you have momentum, I look at you now, as if I saw myself decades ago. ā
"I know your ideals and understand your ambitions, even though I am dozens of years older than you, but when it comes to the firmness of my beliefs...... But it's far inferior. ā
"Xiao Ye, I'm old, and it's hard for me to bear such a heavy burden...... But I won't regret being with you in this matter. I've handed over the authority to you, and I can't go with you anymore for the rest of the way. ā
After saying this, Li Mingduan's originally tense body seemed to relax all of a sudden, and almost collapsed in front of the door of the main control room, he gasped slightly, leaned against the metal wall on the side, and stared at the back that was always upright and always firm.
The two soldiers guarding the door glanced at each other, and they couldn't quite understand what these two high-ranking scientists were communicating, and in the end they could only pretend that they hadn't heard anything, and guarded the gate diligently.
But when Ye Chang heard this, he didn't seem to realize it, he just said the word "oh" lightly, and walked into the main control room without hesitation.
Ye Chang, who walked into the main control room, did not care about the few small consoles on the edge, but walked straight to the central console in the middle of the main control room, and inserted the permission cards of himself and Vice President Li into the corresponding card slots.
"Do you want to start a supercomputer?"
"The launch request has been sent, please show permission."
"Iris Scan Certification ......"
"Scanned and authenticated."
"Check if the permissions are complete."
"Permission holders, Ye Chang, Li Mingduan."
"It has been detected that Li Mingduan's control has been handed over. Recipient Ye Chang. ā
"Permission verification complete. Get full permissions. ā
"Supercomputer Booting ......"
"Please give an order......
ā¦ā¦
Whew-Whew-Whew-
Just a few minutes later, Gu Fan and Ye Xiaoworm appeared in the bridge corridor, and they saw two soldiers guarding the door of the main control room at the end of the corridor from a distance. and Li Mingduan, who was resting in front of the door.
The two soldiers also seemed to have spotted them, picked up the electromagnetic guns in their hands, and waited: "Please show the relevant documents!" ā
"What about Ye Chang?" Gu Fan ran directly to the door of the main control room at an inhuman speed, gritting his teeth.
"He's already in." The white-haired Li Mingduan laughed miserably: "It's late, it's late!" ā
