Xiang Zidan's suggestion was reasonable, and Xu Yunzhi knew that he couldn't keep Nicole and the others, so he held a meeting of core members. The core members were called and all came to the conference room, including Liang Jingjing, because she was the project leader.

The first decision of the core members was to temporarily detain Nicole and the other parties. Elizabeth took the order and detained Nicole and three others.

"Why are you holding us?" Nicole, who was the first to be brought to the conference room, asked as soon as she entered the door before she could take her seat.

"Don't be nervous," Tang Liqing said, "Professor Nicole, since it has happened, we have to figure out what is going on, it's just a routine." ”

At the beginning of the inquiry, Xu Yunzhi first asked: "Professor Nicole, who did the last few experiments?" ”

"We're all participating!" Nicole said, "In order to speed things up, the four of us took turns experimenting to increase efficiency. ”

"Did Vice Dean Liang tell you beforehand that the experimental materials for this experiment are very valuable and must be kept with them?" Zhang Jingyi asked.

"Yes," Nicole replied, "but we were so bent on speeding up the progress that we forgot about it." ”

"None of the four of you thought of it?" Xiang Zidan asked suddenly.

Nicole was stunned for a moment, then said, "No! This is our negligence, which I have already explained to Professor Xu! ”

"You're lying, Professor Nicole!" Xiang Zidan said: "Actually, at that time, researcher Wang Yifang said that the research materials were used up too much and should be stopped, but the rest of you disagreed!" ”

"You talk nonsense, it's nothing!" Nicole denied it.

"You also said," Xu Yunzhi said, "It is the responsibility of Vice President Liang to provide research materials, and if there are no research materials, this responsibility should be borne by Vice President Liang!" ”

"It's true!" Nicole emphasized: "There's nothing wrong with this division of responsibilities! ”

"But Associate Professor Xin Xin also said that it is best to use it up, so as not to let you always engage in this kind of low-level research!" Xiang Zidan was naturally not like Xu Yunzhi, and directly said their intentions: "That is to say, some of you have thought of it, but you don't care, and you can even say that you did it on purpose!" ”

Nicole looked at Xiang Zidan in surprise, she didn't understand how Xiang Zidan was on the scene, and she was even clear about their private discussions.

"So, it is certain that you have deliberately used up the research materials for your own personal purposes, so that this research cannot be continued, so that you can go back to your theoretical research!"

Nicole's eyes widened, she didn't understand, she thought that someone among the four of them had made a small report.

"Don't be surprised, Professor Nicole!" Xu Yunzhi looked at Nicole with pity and said, "Xiang Zidan and I have already learned the Jones mind-reading technique!" ”

"Can you read minds? ……”

"Yes!" Xu Yunzhi replied, she sighed deeply and said, "You should know that this research material, that is, a piece of skin, was cut off from Colonel Shu's arm. Jones's body protection materials are not only radiation-proof, but also stealthy, and have a certain ability to resist blows, and will grow on its own. If it can be studied, the viability of human beings on our planet will be raised to a higher level. Now this opportunity has been ruined because of your selfishness! ”

Nicole was escorted away, and the core members were silent, and they were more or less depressed in their hearts. You say that the situation of mankind is miserable enough, but as a result, there are still people who only care about their own interests and ignore the future of all mankind.

"Hell yes!" In the silence, Elizabeth was the first to break the silence: "I thought that in the near future, no matter where we run, we will no longer need to wear thick protective clothing." Now it seems that it is empty again! ”

"What are you going to do with them?" Tang Liqing asked Xu Yunzhi.

Xu Yunzhi lowered his head, not knowing what to say. With Nicole's behavior, shoot them, and probably not many people will have an opinion, but can they do this?

As a scientist, Xu Yunzhi knows that for now, the study of scientific theories is indeed not the most urgent. There is no direct equivalence between theory and practice, as long as there is a fulcrum and a lever long enough, Archimedes can pry up the earth, what a correct theory!

But for the current earthlings, this correct theory is useless.

But what about the future? The development of human society is inseparable from the development of science and technology, and the development of science and technology is naturally inseparable from the study of scientific theories. What is not tight now does not mean that it will not be important in the future.

But it's certainly not appropriate to let Nicole and them go. If they do this and nothing else, then there are no rules. Without rules, how can it be a circle?

"I'll see the shooting!" Elizabeth said: "Looking at their unconvinced appearance, it is useless to keep them, it is just a waste of resources!" ”

"With what they did, it wasn't wrong to be shot," Ms. Zhang said, "but I always felt that it was inappropriate." ”

As for why it's not suitable, she can't say. Maybe there are too few people on earth, and killing people again makes people palpitate? Or are these people scientists after all, and it would be a pity to kill them?

"Why don't we make a decision for the time being," Ouyang Xiaoyue saw that Xu Yunzhi was very embarrassed, so she said, "How about discussing it in a few days?" ”

"No, we don't have any more time to waste," Tang Liqing said, "Besides, if we detain them, we have to send two people to guard them." And it's just closed, in case they get angry with someone, it will cause trouble. ”

"Sister Tang is right," Zhang Jingyi said: "These people are also considered veterans in the Academy of Sciences, and their words have a certain influence. If they are disgruntled and want to make trouble, it will still have a certain adverse effect, and it is better to deal with it in time. ”

"How do you deal with that?" Xu Yunzhi said: "Since the Jones people left, it has been more than ten years, and we haven't killed anyone again. ”

"You can not kill," Zhang Jingyi suddenly thought of the fact that the Jones people sent Samantha and Jones Moon into the hibernation cabin and let them hibernate: "I know that Sister Yun cherishes talents and is unwilling to kill four scientists at once." But the profession of these four scientists is really not what we need at present. I see, let them hibernate! ”

"This is indeed possible," Tang Liqing immediately agreed: "We won't kill them, but let them hibernate for a few years, and then wake them up when the situation changes, so that there is no need to kill people, and we can temporarily avoid the disadvantages of others being led astray by them." ”

With the exception of Elizabeth, everyone else agreed to this compromise. Elizabeth felt that Nicole was in her early fifties, long past the golden age of scientific research and results, and it was useless to keep her. But everyone disagreed with her, and she had to give up.

"Okay, since it's decided, let's notify them and settle this matter as soon as possible."

After receiving the notice, Nicole asked to meet Xu Yunzhi, and Xu Yunzhi agreed. For the sake of prudence, Xu Yunzhi, Zhang Jingyi, and Xiang Zidan went together.

"Can't you change it?" As soon as she saw Xu Yunzhi and the other three, Nicole asked bluntly.

"Yes!" Xu Yunzhi said: "I can only express regret. But that's good, for all of you, everything you're doing now is low-grade work, and it doesn't match your abilities and talents. Perhaps, in a few years, the situation will change, and theoretical research will definitely be liberalized, and then you will be like a fish in water when you come out again. ”

"How long do you want us to hibernate?" Nicole was silent for a moment and asked, "What about security?" ”

"This technology is very mature, General Yi Qianya hibernated back then, you know!" Xu Yunzhi said: "We tentatively set your hibernation time for fifty years, and the specific time may depend on the development of the situation. ”

Nicole didn't say anything more, she asked Xu Yunzhi instead, do you really think those theories have no future?

"I think so," Xu Yunzhi said, "maybe in the future you will have a chance to prove me wrong, but at least from the current situation, my point of view is tenable." ”

"How so?"

"Vice President Liang has a point of view, she believes that the 20th century was a great era, when scientific theories exploded, giving rise to the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics...... But it was also a fatal era, and it seemed that the direction of scientific theory began to take a detour at that time. ”

"What is the wrong way?" At the beginning, on the topic of scientific theories, Nicole's eyes lit up, which made Xu Yunzhi look very emotional.

"In that century, the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics appeared, and science and technology developed rapidly, and soon entered the electronic age and then the information age, but after that, the theoretical research of fundamental physics actually fell into a state of stagnation......"

"Fallacy!" Nicole laughed: "A lot of high-tech products appeared in that era, such as computers, mobile phones, and quantum colliders. And space technology, what satellites, space shuttles, space stations, etc...... It seems that Vice President Liang is indeed a halfway monk! ”

"I agree with her!" Xu Yunzhi said: "That's right, that era did seem to be advancing by leaps and bounds, and there were many refreshing technological development products. But I have to say that those are only developments in the practical application of these theories, that is, horizontally. However, theoretical research is only a tinkering with the original theory, and there is no breakthrough development. ”

"Is quantum theory and superstring theory so unbearable?"

"If you don't have personal likes and dislikes," Xu Yunzhi said with a smile, "Professor Nicole also knows that string theory is sure that it takes at least 10 dimensions to establish a theoretical framework that makes gravity and quantum mechanics compatible with each other." So far, no one can answer where the 11-dimensional space-time is, let alone establish the theoretical framework of superstring theory in the 11-dimensional space-time! …… In fact, Professor Nicole knows very well that some of the science and technology books of that era, students of our time are still learning, and basically nothing new has been added...... If it wasn't for the crooked path, how could this be? ”
