Brazil.

When Di Wuchang woke up from the soft seats of first class, the flight was halfway there, and in an hour and a half, they would arrive in Manaus, the largest city in the Amazon rainforest.

Di Wuchang rubbed his eyes, he was tired from continuous long flights and jet lag, and just now he dreamed of his wife, a gentle Jiangnan girl, with soft skin like water, and delicate and pretty facial features.

Thanks to the magical star friendship, Di Wuchang was just in the mood to give it a try, but when they met for the first time, they fell in love with his current wife at first sight, and never left her again.

My wife is a history student, a silly-looking girl, who always burns her rice or puts the bath water in the bath when she suddenly remembers something else, causing the water in the bathtub to overflow.

Or when he was on a date, he was late because he did the wrong direction of the subway, and he came to Di Wuchang out of breath and apologized to him in a panic.

In short, the wife who has gone to graduate school, like a child who has not grown up, will always do something strange and unbelievable.

But Di Wuchang liked her very much, and the two registered their marriage soon after they met, and when his wife graduated from graduate school, they also planned to have their first child.

"Mr. Di, can I ask something?"

Wei Chen's voice interrupted Di Wuchang's memories.

As the earliest employee of Xingchen Technology stationed in Brazil, Wei Chen has been here for three years, he began to get used to wearing flip-flops and dating Brazilian women with big butts, because he ate too much barbecue and drank too much beer, his weight finally soared to more than 200 pounds, and his skin was tanned by the sun.

In short, if Wei Chen did not speak Chinese, everyone would think that he was of Japanese descent from Brazil, and there were many Japanese Brazilians in this multi-ethnic mixed country.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Di Wuchang said.

Wei Chen scratched his head, "Who are these Wen Chengling and Wen Chengfeng?" Is it worth a trip for you? The Amazon primeval rainforest, I heard that the mosquitoes over there are bigger than leeches. ”

Di Wuchang smiled, "Of course it's worth it, that is, it is inconvenient for Mr. Luo to go abroad now, otherwise, he will probably come in person." ”

Wei Chen was stunned.

Wen Chengling and Wen Chengfeng, it is actually worth Luo Jia to come to Brazil in person and go deep into the Amazon rainforest to find it, can this be ordinary people?

Definitely not!

After a pause, Di Wuchang said slowly: "In March 1978, China's first educational institution with the responsibility of cultivating geniuses, the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China, was officially established, and it was the Nobel Prize winner in physics, Mr. Lee Tsung-dao, who put forward this idea. ”

"An Ran, Cao Yuan, Xi Zilan, Fang Yuanchu, etc., many of the company's leaders are from the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China."

Wei Chen nodded again and again, "I know this, Mr. An and they all went to college at the age of twelve, which is really amazing." ”

Di Wuchang said, "Yes, I also envy Mr. An's talent, however, the record of the youngest in the history of the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China is not created by An Ran, nor by Cao Yuan, but by the brothers Wen Chengling and Wen Chengfeng, the two of them are twins, and they were only nine and a half years old when they entered the school. ”

Wei Chen showed an expression of disbelief, he felt his mouth dry, hurriedly pressed the service light, and asked the stewardess for two bottles of cold drinks, one for himself and one for Di Wuchang.

"Nine-and-a-half?" Wei Chen unscrewed the drink bottle and said, "This is unlikely, even if it is the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China, I have to finish high school, I am only in the third grade of primary school at the age of nine and a half, and the Wen brothers are in college?" ”

Di Wuchang smiled, "It's quite incredible, but with the current situation of our company, you should be able to understand that some people are born different, such as Mr. An, he and Mr. Luo are the smartest people I have ever seen in my life, and the gap between people may be much bigger than we imagined." ”

Wei Chen stopped talking, before he was sent to Brazil, his deepest feeling in the company was depression, geniuses everywhere, you have to coil the dragon, you have to lie on the stomach if you are a tiger, there are not many people in Xingchen Technology, there are many masters.

"Wen Chengling and Wen Chengfeng shouldn't be considered geniuses, they are gods." Di Wuchang said, "And their upbringing is similar to Enron's, first studying in China for a university, then going to North America for a doctorate, and then staying in North America to do research." ”

"Among them, the elder brother Wen Chengling is engaged in lasers, a tenured professor at Stanford University, and the younger brother Wen Chengfeng has studied biological genes and is a tenured professor at Harvard."

"According to the normal trajectory, sooner or later, the Wen brothers will make a name for themselves on the earth and become the top scientists who will go down in history, but unfortunately, an accident thirteen years ago changed all that."

When Wei Chen heard this, he quickly pricked up his ears, "What happened thirteen years ago?" ”

Di Wuchang looked out the window and said in a slightly regretful voice, "Thirteen years ago, the Wen brothers took their parents on a trip to Brazil, in the Amazon region. ”

"Their mother slipped into the river and was eaten by a school of piranha, and their father jumped into the water in a fit of anxiety and never came back."

"At that time, the Wen brothers were on the upper deck of the ship, and they rushed down when they heard the cry for help, but it was too late, they wanted to save their parents, but they were firmly grasped by the crew."

"There is nothing saddest in the world than this, the Wen brothers have witnessed their parents being eaten clean by a school of piranhas, listening to their screams, watching them go from two living old people to two white bones, this kind of blow is not something anyone can imagine or bear."

Wei Chen's mouth opened wide, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out the backpack he was carrying, and took out a yellowed newspaper from it.

Thirteen years ago, an article about two North American tourists who were eaten by a school of piranhas appeared on the fourth page of the newspaper.

"Mr. Di, you asked me to find this old newspaper, it turned out that it was because of the Wen brothers!" Wei Chen said excitedly, "But it says that it was two North American tourists who died. ”

"Well, that trip was to celebrate their parents getting their North American green cards according to the law of dependence, they started from North America, passed through Mexico and Colombia, all the way to the Amazon, and their destination, at the end of South America, Ushuaia, Argentina, was a trip across the Americas." Di Wuchang said, "They were holding North American passports at the time, and there was no problem with the news reporting this." ”

"And then?" Wei Chen asked anxiously.

Di Wuchang swallowed and foamed, "The Wen brothers returned to North America with the bones of their parents, and since then they have been depressed, their personalities have become withdrawn, and they no longer contact their former classmates or teachers, do not answer the phone, and do not reply to emails. ”

"Gradually, people forgot about their existence, and after another two years, they suddenly sold their houses, their stocks, everything, and disappeared from the world."

"No one knows where they went, but judging from their consistent behavior, the tragic death of their parents is a fatal blow to them, and it is very likely that they are no longer in the world."

"Time passed like this, until seven years ago, someone inadvertently turned over Wen Chengling's manuscript, which was about the study of ultraviolet light."

"As we all know, semiconductor manufacturing technology, from 1978 to the present, has undergone three generations of evolution, from ultraviolet light to deep ultraviolet light, and from deep ultraviolet light to extreme ultraviolet light, and the next generation of extreme ultraviolet light will be the end point of the lithography process, super ultraviolet light, an epoch-making process that mixes traditional lithography and laser etching."

"As the size of the chip becomes smaller and smaller, the traditional lithography technology will become more and more powerless, and the laser must be introduced into the field of lithography in order to really solve the problem and make the size of the chip one nanometer, or even one picometer."

Wei Chen felt his heart beating faster, and he suddenly realized: "And Wen Chengling is the top scientist who studies lasers!" ”

"It's more than that." Di Wuchang said lightly, "According to Wen Chengling's manuscript, the laser lithography field scheme he designed has reached 70%, which can be said to be quite mature, if it weren't for the accident of his parents, he would have subverted the semiconductor process at this moment and won the Nobel Prize in Physics." ”

Wei Chen savored Di Wuchang's words, and an indescribable complex emotion flowed in his heart.

The road to genius is not always easy, and the Wen brothers are ill-fated, if it weren't for that trip, they would have been on top of science, right?

However, there is no if in the world, and the tragedy happened like that, which is sad and sighing.

Wei Chen's whole body was slumped in the seat, he felt that his blood pressure was a little high, and he pondered that he could not eat too much barbecue in the future, and he should lose weight.

"So, when you get that the Wen brothers may be in the Amazon area, you will come immediately, because the next step for the company will be to enter the semiconductor field, and we need Wen Chengling's technology, and in this world, no matter who gets this technology, they will firmly grasp the lifeblood of the semiconductor industry." Wei Chen said.

Di Wuchang nodded, "What you said is not wrong at all, Xingchen Optics is the third department established in the company, since the first year of entrepreneurship, the optical department has been researching lithography machines, and now, it has been close to four years, but it is still one step away from real success." ”

Wei Chen frowned, "I don't really understand, Amazon is the sad place of the Wen brothers, since they have already left, why do they want to come back?" Wouldn't they be sad and sad in the face of a great river full of piranhas? ”

Di Wuchang smiled, "You underestimate the spiritual power of the Chinese people too much, the hatred of killing your father is not shared, since ancient times, we are a nation with a tradition of revenge." ”

"Revenge?" Wei Chen felt incredible, "Just two scientists who are powerless? ”

"Besides, who are they going to take revenge on? Ate their parents' piranhas? How can humans take revenge on fish? ”

Di Wuchang was silent at first, and then nodded slightly, "Based on what we know so far, although the elder brother Wen Chengling is a researcher of lasers, the younger brother Wen Chengfeng is a great biological geneticist. ”

"According to customs records, shortly after the disappearance of the Wen brothers, Brazilian customs seized a series of dangerous biological smuggling incidents, and some people smuggled China's most ferocious freshwater fish, black fish, into Brazil in large quantities."

Wei Chen was stunned again, Wen Chengling was a student biogenetic, not long after his disappearance, the most ferocious black fish in China was seized by Brazilian customs, could it be that he wanted to cultivate Huaxia black fish to kill all the piranhas in the Amazon River and engage in a biological revenge?

If this is really the case, the Wen brothers are not only scientists, but also two out-and-out ruthless people!

Wei Chen felt the hairs on his back stand on end, and he once again remembered Di Wuchang's words, according to Chinese tradition, the revenge of killing his father is not shared, this revenge will not be avenged, and he will not be a man

After a long flight, the plane finally arrived in Manaus, the largest city in the Amazon rainforest region.

Wei Chen and Di Wuchang didn't know what was ahead of them, waiting for them.
