Xu Yunzhi was imprisoned in her own residence, and she couldn't help but smile when she saw Nicole appear with the help of others.

"I said why bother, Professor Nicole!" Without waiting for Nicole to sit down, Xu Yunzhi said with a smile: "Things have happened, you don't have to be in such a hurry, just rest for two days!" ”

"I heard that you were locked up by them, can I not be in a hurry!" Nicole sat down, panting and said, "How so? ”

"You shouldn't have asked me this!" Xu Yunzhi raised his chin towards Rena and the others next to him, and said, "Actually, I should ask this, how can this be, what do you want to do, right?" ”

Nicole was speechless, so she could only express concern first: "They didn't do anything to you, did they?" ”

"No, they're polite," Xu Yunzhi replied, "Don't be polite, Nicole, just get straight to the point!" ”

"Alright! Then I'll get straight to the point! Nicole pondered for a moment, and said, "What do you think, and since it is necessary to calm the situation in the best and smoothest way possible, I suggest that both sides sit down and discuss how the dispute between the two sides can be resolved peacefully, what do you think?" ”

"I also want to settle the dispute peacefully," Xu Yunzhi said, "but you have already used force and killed people, and now you want to settle it peacefully?" …… You must have the conditions, right? Okay, talk about your conditions, how to solve them peacefully. ”

"We demand the dissolution of the Interim Caucus and the holding of a rehearsal election to determine the new leadership members and governing bodies!" Nicole said, "If you agree, then both sides will lay down their arms and negotiate to decide what to do next." ”

"It's useless for me to agree," Xu Yunzhi smiled: "I'm the governor, but I'm not alone, our core members are committee systems." All members of the Committee must vote by show of hands...... I said, have you been in contact with anyone else? Did they agree with your suggestion? ”

"I contacted them, but they didn't give a clear answer."

"What are you going to do if they don't say yes?" Xu Yunzhi asked, "Kill me and start a war?" ”

"It's not impossible! If you don't agree, we can only fight against the water, and the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken! Nicole said, "We will close the dungeon and declare our independence as a nation of our own." ”

"A country of its own?" Xu Yunzhi smiled: "That's all these people, do you still want to start a new stove?" ”

"I also know that this is not appropriate, but the matter has come to this, and we can't let anyone slaughter us," Nicole was also frank, but her helplessness was overflowing: "I, like you, know the state of the earthlings, but I don't look back!" ”

"Okay, I know your conditions," Xu Yunzhi saw something, so he said, "Can you let me talk to Zhang Jingyi and Tang Liqing?" ”

Nicole was about to say yes, but Rena, who was behind her, preemptively said, "No! ”

Xu Yunzhi looked at Rena and then at Nicole, and said, "It seems that your internal opinions are not unified, so okay, you discuss it first, and then talk about it after the opinions are unified, how about it?" ”

After Nicole and the others withdrew, Xu Yunzhi smiled secretly. She is a mind reader, and she has long seen that Nicole is passively involved in the coup d'état. Nicole actually disapproves of Reyna and Susan doing this, but Rena and Susan revived Nicole from the beginning. Whether it's out of pride or something else, Nicole intends to admit it.

And Nicole and Rena have different opinions, and she already knows it. Of course, she also saw that Susan and Zhu Xue'er were encouraged by Rena. These two people are young and young, and they followed Rena impulsively, but they may not necessarily follow them to the end. These should all be advantageous factors that can be used, but she still can't figure out how to use them.

"I want to see Professor Nicole," the next day, after Xu Yunzhi finished breakfast, he said to the guard outside the door, "Please report!" ”

Half an hour later, Nicole came, but not alone, Rena and Xin Xin also came.

"Hehe, I just wanted to talk to Professor Nicole Lala about learning, but I didn't expect to alarm the two of you!" Xu Yunzhi smiled and said to Rena and Xin Xin: "I'm really embarrassed! ”

"We're also idle and bored, so let's listen to the two masters' arguments!" Rena also smiled and replied, "If Professor Xu thinks we are not qualified to listen, then we ......"

"How dare you!" Xu Yunzhi said, "Please take a seat!" ”

"Then you're welcome!" Xin Xin said, and sat down: "Professor Xu invited Professor Nicole to come, I don't know what to see?" ”

"It's serious, Associate Professor Xin, I'm a prisoner, how can I come to teach? It's just that there are a few questions that I can't figure out, and I want to ask Professor Nicole to solve the puzzle, since the two of you are also here, it will be even better, you can answer them together! ”

Xu Yunzhi said, turning to Nicole: "Actually, this question was a question before you hibernated, and I always felt sorry for not asking it at the time, thinking that I didn't have a chance to ask it in this life." Now, I'd love to hear what Professor Nicole has to say. ”

"If there is anything to ask, Professor Xu just asks, I know everything!"

"Okay, then I'll ask......" Xu Yunzhi settled down and asked, "Do you think the handling of the core members' temporary committee on judging your hibernation this time is excessive?" ”

Nicole didn't expect Xu Yunzhi to ask this question, and she didn't know how to answer it for a while. In my heart, this verdict really can't be excessive. It is a project that is alive and well, and it is indeed very necessary for the current situation, for the human condition of the planet. Yellowing this project, such a punishment is appropriate.

But she can't say it too much, she knows she can't say it. Although she knew very well that Rena's intention was to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of Susan, Zhu Xue'er and others, and reviving herself was actually a kidnapping. Use her Nicole credentials as a signboard to do what she wants, and Nicole doesn't know what she wants to do.

This is Nicole's predicament, both sides are not pleased, and she can't complain if she is used.

"Xu Yunzhi, don't pretend!" Seeing that Nicole couldn't answer, Xin Xin was anxious. She doesn't have Nicole's mind, nor does she have Nicole's objective attitude, so when she was notified of forced hibernation, she broke down and resisted strongly: "I don't accept your verdict, so you use force to stuff me into the hibernation cabin, and you still think it's reasonable?" ”

"You're your problem, Associate Professor Xin!" Xu Yunzhi said with a smile: "The verdict is not based on personal feelings. According to our regulations, the actions of the four of you have endangered the survival of mankind, and it is not an exaggeration to shoot them. The reason why the hibernation verdict was made was that our committee considered it at that time, and the four were rare scientists, and it was a pity to kill them. That's why it's important to think about getting you through this period of time when you can't use your level of knowledge, so that you can make the most of your academic expertise in the future. ”

"So, or do we not appreciate it," Xin Xin sneered: "Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs?" ”

"That's true!" Xu Yunzhi did not back down: "You also bit Elizabeth, when Elizabeth had already pulled out a gun to kill you, but was stopped by me and Commander Zhang." You have to understand that if Elizabeth had killed you at that time, she would not have broken the law! ”

Xin Xin's face turned red, and she couldn't answer for a while. Seeing this, Rena hurriedly relieved her: "Professor Xu, let's get down to business." ”

"Aren't I talking about this?" Xu Yunzhi said with a smile: "I invited Professor Nicole to come just to ask if the verdict against Nicole and the others at that time was fair." ”

"I don't think there's anything to argue about that!" Rena said: "You think it is fair, we think it is unfair, it is impossible for the two sides to agree, what are you arguing about?" The crux of the matter is why you subjectively believe that so many scientific research projects should be suspended if they are out of date. ”

"I've discussed this with Professor Nicole many times before, and I don't think there's any need to discuss it anymore."

"Could it be that the project you stopped is harmful to humanity at this stage?" Or is it that the research of these projects is inherently harmful, so it should be banned? ”

"You're stealing concepts!" Xu Yunzhi smiled: "We only said that these projects are not urgently needed now, so we will suspend them for the time being." If, as you say, the research of these projects would be harmful to humanity, then it would not be a hibernation verdict! ”

"Why aren't these projects needed now?"

"Professor Nicole, please, tell you!" Xu Yunzhi was tired of Rena's nonsense and didn't want to answer anymore.

"Professor Xu, don't you think you're arbitrary?" Nicole couldn't avoid it: "Although the short-term effect of these projects is a little worse, in the long run, they will definitely be of great benefit to the development of human society." ”

"Professor Nicole," Xu Yunzhi said with a smile, "Is it necessary for you and me to repeat the old words?" ”

Nicole was speechless for a while, she and Xu Yunzhi had already argued about this kind of topic before hibernating. Although no one can convince anyone, at least they are the basic basis for understanding each other. If you have to continue this topic, you have to have a new statement, otherwise it will be a bit entangled. Nicole thinks highly of herself, so naturally she doesn't want to do this.

"You say that string theory is useless," Nicole pondered for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said excitedly, "But string theory has proven that only cosmic strings can open wormholes and realize the technology of hyperspace jumping." Although with today's science and technology, it is impossible to create a cosmic string by artificial means, but at least we have understood its principle, how can it be said that it is useless? ”

"That's where my disagreement with you lies!" Xu Yunzhi said: "String theory believes that with enough energy, a huge energy "string" can be made, making hyperspace jumps theoretically feasible. Yes, string theory seems to solve the theory of opening wormholes, and it can still be logically self-consistent, but how much does this help us? Is it possible for humans to create such a cosmic string? ”

"Not possible now, not necessarily in the future!" Nicole said, "If you don't research, it's really impossible!" ”

"Well, you said that in the future, I really can't falsify your opinion!" Xu Yunzhi smiled: "Let me give an example: a weightlifter can lift a 200-kilogram barbell, which of course requires certain skills, and there will be a certain amount of theoretical guidance, but the most basic thing is that the athlete does have this potential." If you change Nicole, no matter how good the theoretical guidance is, you will never be able to lift a 200-kilogram barbell. In other words, knowing is not the same as being able to do it, and you know how the Jones people do it! ”

Nicole was speechless, and the last meeting with the Jones people, she also participated as a technologist. Jones wisely avoided the extravagant desire to manipulate the forces of the universe in favor of studying how to protect herself and harness the power of the universe, and she admired their rationality deep down. And now, Xu Yunzhi made it clear that what you can't control, knowing how it works, she naturally can't refute it.

What is the purpose of scientific exploration, is it to solve problems, or is it exploration for the sake of exploration?

Do you do scientific research just to satisfy your curiosity?
