The time is eleven o'clock at night, and many office workers have gone home to sleep, but many people are still in the mood to work, and even stay up until dawn. Overtime during busy periods is the most common cause, but for the research department of a company or school, this is the norm. Individuals may not last long, but as a group, they are lit up all night long.

Mitsubishi Chemical's research institute in Tokyo looks ordinary from the outside, but the buildings are located on the land reclamation plate of Koto Ward, and many heavy chemical facilities are on the verge of it. It was late at night, and many of them had already rested, but there were still many researchers who were still working hard to overcome the tasks assigned by their superiors.

For example, in a certain third laboratory, when the hour hand was close to twelve o'clock, there was still a man with brown and black hair sitting in front of the computer, staring at the complex chemical formula on the screen.

New Hicurtis is the director of the institute, which has only one mission, which is to successfully implement efficient reverse reduction technology for petroleum products.

This is undoubtedly a difficult task, and Shinkai has spent five years since he was hired by Mitsubishi's top management. And the final cycle of this whole project is probably not much shorter than the road to the practical application of tokamak devices. The latter began in the early days of the Cold War in the last century, and has only now just achieved the most basic practical application?

The reverse reduction technology of petroleum products was only nearly 20 years ago when someone really pulled it out of the category of brain holes and began to tackle key problems seriously. Although the development of the overall scientific and technological strength of the society is conducive to the overcoming of new technologies by human beings, considering that the brains are different in different periods, the final difficulty is also different.

The role played by New Hycurtis in this whole glorious and great project should be, as stated at the heart of his paper, as a catalyst. If it is only to decompose petroleum products and return them to a mixture of various alkanes, naphthenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons, this technology has actually been realized. But if we consider the issue of efficiency, everyone will find that it is still very far from industrialization.

Today and not in the past, Curtis is still staring at the molecular structure of the catalyst to see how it can be improved. This is a liquid substance, and its application is that when the reverse reduction plant processes petroleum products accordingly, it should be used as a special additive to increase the reaction rate of the raw material very highly.

It's been five years, and it's been a great step forward to be able to turn an idea that was purely a thesis into reality. However, whether the technology should be released and left to the Mitsubishi consortium is undoubtedly a serious ......

“…… Well? ”

Curtis wasn't dazzled, and suddenly, the entire computer screen flickered.

"Something's wrong."

He frowned and patted the monitor, knowing that this outdated approach would not be of much use, but the habits of the older generation were still inherited by him.

After three shots, the screen flickered even more, as if it was broken.

No, it's not that the circuit is malfunctioning, because in the next second, a large number of windows began to appear on the screen, and they stacked up crazily!

"Could it be a hacker!?"

Curtis was immediately shocked, obviously the firewall of the institute was already very advanced, such as the mysterious person who rose up, and so arrogantly interfered with the computer he used for work, what would be the purpose!?

It will undoubtedly take some time for hackers to break in, and then it's time for countless small movie photos to appear. Curtis was a little embarrassed, because of his hard work, he hadn't been in touch with his wife and daughter for a long time, let alone a woman at all. Suddenly, there were a lot of seductive photos, especially the appearance of high school girls, which really made him a little in a trance......

"That's not right! Report to your supervisor immediately...... No, I'm the head of the research office! ”

Curtis knew what he had to do, but unplugging the cable wasn't something he could easily do right now. With the case under the table and the butt against the wall, in such a small space, even if you lie down like a cat and move the signs, the time is ......

With the last beep, the computer was hacked.

Xinhai Curtis stroked his forehead and sighed, just because he was standing in a daze and missed any opportunity.

At this time, the computer screen is completely occupied by the cover of the small movie. And this is really a weird appearance, the Tsukamoto Supervision series with a sense of realism, and it is actually the father-daughter forbidden story of "The House of Poverty, the House of the Rich". What kind of trick is this hacker playing, suddenly showing him such a thing, is it still a small movie that can't be sold!?

But in the next second, a window suddenly opened, and a line of red characters popped up.

"Good evening, Mr. New Hycurtis."

A seemingly ordinary greeting.

Curtis looked around cautiously, a cold sweat breaking out.

There is indeed a monitoring probe in his office, but because this is a highly confidential research institute, although it has not yet reached the level of using a dedicated intranet, its firewall performance is absolutely outstanding. Who is the person who not only hacked into his computer, but also directly took charge of the camera?

The next sentence should come up at the right time.

"There is no need to be surprised, the contemptible person suddenly came to visit tonight, just to skip the Mitsubishi senior management and talk to you directly."

After a moment of panic, Curtis calmed down, although it is rare for the research institute's computer to be hacked, he was also mentally prepared, but he didn't expect it to fall on his head, and it was so direct.

He tried to type, "Who are you, what are you looking for me?" ”

After a moment's pause, the other party began to reply.

"The consortium sincerely invites Xinhaisang to jump ship to come to work, and the reverse reduction technology of petroleum products is also a project that the consortium has been vigorously supporting for a long time, and it is in urgent need of talents like Xinhaisang to join. In terms of remuneration, we will first provide a salary package that is no less than that of Mitsubishi, and an equally high-end research environment. In addition, we will provide unlimited protection and support for your family's livelihood and employment. ”

It turned out to be a prying wall, but Curtis didn't immediately refuse with righteous words. This is not only because the computer and camera have fallen, but also because of the benefits proposed by the other party. Where did the new customer come from, and he actually brought his family with him, did he think that if he did this, he would be able to be moved?

But as a preliminary contact, the content of the other party's next narration seems to be quite interesting.

Curtis cautiously glanced at the camera and sat back in his chair.
