Chapter 55: Frank's Conversation

After Commander Chris and Dean Watt and the others left Super Lab 1.

"Andrey, you guys did a great job, I didn't expect to make an important discovery so soon." Frank said complimentingly.

"Looks like we're in luck!" At this time, Andrei was in a good mood.

"Andrey, Philip, the task of further research to determine the structure of dark matter in meteorites is entrusted to you." Frank's eyes rolled, as if he had an idea in his heart, and then continued, "Amanda, Durunik, and Yuan Chen, the three of you continue to study the topic of ancient life in meteorites, and if necessary, you can go to the Institute of Biology and Biochemistry to apply for technical assistance. “

"Shouldn't the focus of our work now be to pursue victory and do our best to complete the research of dark matter" Amanda listened to Frank's work assignment, her face was full of disappointment and doubt, if there is something to be achieved in the further research of dark matter, this is enough to go down in the history of science.

"No, Amanda, it's enough to have Andre and Philip for the time being. When Einstein proposed the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, the entire scientific community did not know what their specific application value was, and it was not until decades later that their great scientific significance gradually became apparent. The study of dark matter is undoubtedly important, and the discovery of dark matter will allow us to further understand the universe. But at present, we do not yet know what the direct application value of dark matter or dark energy is, and it will definitely be a long scientific process. Frank interrupted Amanda's plea.

"Our more urgent task at the moment is to find clues to ancient extraterrestrial life as soon as possible! For some reason, the top leaders of the IEA have been keeping an eye on the progress of this work. Frank continued, adding, "So, I want you to take it seriously! ”

"Understood, Frank."

"Come on, guys." With that, Frank turned and left.

Then, as if thinking of something again, Frank turned his head and said, "Hey, Chinese lad, keep up with me, I want to talk to you." ”

Yuan Haochen didn't think much about it, and in the puzzled eyes of everyone, he followed out.

As in the previous situation, Frank, the leader of the scientific research team, walked in front like a fly, and Yuan Haochen followed closely behind.

Along the way, Frank didn't look back as usual, and didn't say a word.

It wasn't until the two of them entered Frank's office that he glanced at Yuan Haochen and motioned for him to sit down.

Frank then instructed his assistant secretary to grind two cups of Americano.

"Young man, taste it." Frank said as he took a sip from the glass in front of him.

"Thank you, Frank." Yuan Haochen also picked up a cup and tasted it.

Americano is one of the most common types of black coffee made with a filter coffee pot.

Because the extraction time is relatively long, the coffee ~ has a high content and a particularly bitter taste.

"How's it taste?" Frank glanced at Hara Hao Chen meaningfully.

"Bitter, much like the strong tea I drink in China." Yuan Haochen looked at the blackened liquid in the cup, and seemed to recall some past experiences.

"Well, you Chinese don't add milk and sugar when you taste tea, which reminds me of Richard. King. Frank continued thoughtfully, "I think it's a good habit. “

"Thank you, Mr. Frank, for sharing." Of course, Yuan Haochen understood the overtone of Frank's words.

"Dean Watt and I both know that you were inspired by the discovery of dark matter." Frank smiled and nodded, then continued to say straight to the point, "Do you feel sorry for not being able to continue to participate in dark matter research?" ”

"Of course, there are some, but Mr. Frank has explained it in Lab 1 just now, and I agree with it."

Of course, Yuan Haochen was not saying things against his will, but he had always had a clear goal.

"Strictly speaking, the scientific community is also a place of seniority, and Andrei is your project team leader, even if he just talks about it and does not actually participate in the work, the final scientific research results also belong to him." Frank said meaningfully.

"Understood, the boss is the biggest." Yuan Haochen is no longer a simple college student in the laboratory, of course he knows this.

"Haha, then I have to thank you too, young man." Frank, who is also the "boss", said with a blunt smile.

"Very good, you are better than I thought, forbearing, calm, low-key and not lacking in mental skills." Frank took a sip of American coffee and continued, "No wonder even Dean Watt finds you interesting. ”

"Dean Watt" Speaking of this, Yuan Haochen remembered Watt's sharp eyes in the dean's office like a falcon on the top of the mountain.

"But you always have to remember what I said to Justin, the leader of Group 10. Because you are the discoverer of the Chenchen meteorite, I borrowed you for a while. Frank said for no reason, "So, I hope you have a better performance in the future." ”

Yuan Haochen nodded with a smile and said silently, and sighed in his heart, "These old foxes, carrots and sticks, are really the emperor's skills." “

"By the way, Mr. Frank." Yuan Haochen looked at his bottomed coffee cup, and after a little thought, continued, "I have some new opinions about the primitive life contained in the Haochen meteorite. ”

"Oh, say, young man, I'm starting to look forward to your new opinion." Frank snapped his fingers, and the assistant secretary knowingly filled the coffee cup in front of Hara.

"The coffee is good, Mr. Frank." After Yuan Haochen thanked him a little, he began to express his opinion seriously.

"The information that the meteorite contains ancient life has been scientifically proven, and that is enough. We should now devote more energy to finding the birthplace of the meteorite, the cradle of primitive life, rather than continuing to dig deeper into the information of the meteorite itself. ”

"Well, it's a very unique way of thinking, please continue." Hearing this, Frank's eyes lit up, and then he nodded again.

"According to the scientific inference of the impact of the space meteorite on Mars, the Chenchen meteorite came from Mars. Therefore, there must still be a large number of meteorite fragments preserved on Mars. “

After listening to Hara's words, Frank seemed to fall into deep thought. "The space meteorite, which combines the secrets of dark matter and ancient life, is waiting to be discovered on Mars!" Yuan Haochen said loudly after taking a sip of coffee for a while.

"Young man, you can't wait to start interstellar exploration?" Frank had come to his senses, took a sip of his coffee, and then asked with a serious gaze, "Are you sure that the meteorite will fall?" ”

"How do you know if you can't do it without trying?" Yuan Haochen asked rhetorically.

"The coffee tastes bitter, young people who don't know how thick the sky is. Do your best, I look forward to your good news! ”

Looking at the figure of Yuan Haochen leaving, a trace of inexplicable excitement also appeared on Frank's face

Indian Ocean, Litria Islands, IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) Indian Ocean base.

"Commander Roland, the Pacific base seems to have found evidence of dark matter in meteorites."

"Dark matter? Summit is there any other news besides that? The seductive-looking middle-aged woman asked.

"Not yet, Commander Roland."

"You're doing a great job, keep watching."
