Chapter 180: The Crisis Reappears
Thinking that Qin Tairan would arrive in a while, Duke didn't bother to guess, lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, quietly waiting for Qin Tairan's arrival.
When Qin Tairan came, this mystery would naturally be solved.
"Our guys just confirmed that the person who followed you was an FBI agent." An hour later, Qin Tairan arrived at Duke's home in Boston, and when Qin Tairan took Duke out of the room and went outside to pretend to take a walk, he told Duke about this amazing thing in a straightforward manner.
Duke's heart was shocked, although his face could barely maintain its original color, but the clenched fists quietly revealed the shock in his heart. The secret on his body is too huge, and in the face of the most powerful special agency in the world, he has always been a little wary and worried, and has always avoided attracting the attention of the other party.
Unexpectedly, it still failed. How do you do that? After the shock, Duke's heart was like a mess. The secret on his body is something that the "own people" around him can't let him know now, and who else can Duke talk to.
"However, we can't be sure for what purpose the FBI agents are following you right now." Qin Tairan didn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally didn't know that Duke was already in turmoil in his heart now. "But no matter what, being targeted by this agency is always a very disgusting thing."
"During this time, you still have to follow the convention of the company in New York, but now the topic they give you is completely a topic developed by an ordinary enterprise." Qin Tairan continued, to be honest, he was stunned after all when he received this news. After all, Duke didn't do anything worthy of the attention of federal agents.
The New York company, though closer to the consulate, was not guilty of doing anything publicly, and it was logical that federal agents should not be brought to their attention unless they had other motives. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the current situation.
"Of course, if it's for security reasons, I suggest you return to your homeland." Qin Tairan finally said.
Duke was the person he had to pay special attention to, and now that he had attracted the attention of federal agents, there was already a huge security hazard, even if it was unclear why these agents had their eye on Duke. But if Duke returns home, everything will no longer be a problem.
It is difficult for Qin Tairan to understand why Duke can win the Turing Award at the current level, and continue to study at MIT, and it is still materials science and nuclear physics that are not related to computers. To be honest, the two new disciplines chosen by Duke are also very incomprehensible to many people who pay attention to Duke in China.
In the eyes of these people, Duke has a great chance to become a core leader in the domestic computer industry, and should come back to lead the team to complete some large-scale system software projects that are urgently needed in some countries, or focus on his company's business.
Now Duke continues to stay outside to study materials science and physics, if he didn't want to stay in the United States as much as possible and wait for immigration, there is no way to explain Duke's unbelievable choice.
But Qin Tairan knew very well that Duke had no inclination to immigrate at all, maybe this was a weirdo who liked to study.
For Qin Tairan's suggestion, Duke was silent, he has not yet sorted out the clue from Qin Tairan's news, this news has obviously had a great impact on his future work and life, where to go, Duke needs time to sort out.
"Thank you." Duke was silent for a while, and whispered to Qin Tairan in a somewhat low mood.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Duke to return to China, Qin Tairan couldn't say anything more, and patted Duke on the shoulder, "I'm going back, you take care." Try to notify me first if there is anything. With that, he took a book from Duke's house and left.
"Duke, why is the mood so low today, and the press conference was not successful?" After Shu Ya came back, she couldn't help but ask very strangely when she saw that Duke was particularly silent today.
"It's fine." Duke didn't know whether to tell Shuya the news, "It's just that the reporters are asking so many questions that it's more tiring than writing a paper." Duke disguised. The decision was made to keep it secret for the time being, so as not to worry Shuya.
Nothing was said all night. When he woke up the next day, Duke decided to ignore the shadow and speed up his studies at MIT.
First of all, after absorbing the first-hand results of the MIT Materials Science Laboratory, since Duke now has the permission to enter the laboratory and use most of the materials in the laboratory, in the face of those extremely valuable unpublished research reports, made of paper, Duke reads and scans them hungrily into his mind and then transforms them into the space of Kerry;
The electronic version was downloaded directly to Kerry's storage space, and soon Kerry combined the basic knowledge that had been forced into it with many of the research results he had now obtained to form a new knowledge base of materials science research.
With this knowledge base, Duke's research in materials science began to get on the right track, using the complete test conditions in the laboratory, combined with traditional research methods, Duke created a new limit condition research model, specializing in the study of the special reactions of metals under extreme conditions.
Of course, these are the triggers for the new properties of several rare metals provided by Billem, but no one has ever been able to consciously study the special changes that some metals will produce under certain extreme conditions in the long term.
But now that Duke already had the specific external conditions for the performance of these properties, he soon "stumbled" to discover a new property of a rare metal after waiting for a few days according to the limit conditions provided by Bielem.
This is an unprecedentedly undiscovered property, when under certain extreme conditions, a new change will appear in the internal electrons and atoms of the metal, resulting in a strange color on the surface of the metal.
Duke recorded and reported this discovery, of course, at the moment, no one knows what this phenomenon will mean, so to speak, this is just a general discovery, if in China, mixed with a master's thesis is basically enough, but the MIT Materials Science Laboratory discovers at least hundreds of new properties of different materials every year, this is nothing.
But Professor Andrew was very satisfied, and Duke's ability to design experiments and make discoveries in such a short period of time proved that he was right, and that Duke did have a talent for materials science and already had a solid foundation.
Judging from the experiments designed by Duke, they are unique and seem simple, but there are many differences from general research ideas, inheriting and innovating, which is the style of a genius researcher.
It's just that Professor Andrew didn't expect that Duke would basically wipe out the accumulation of laboratory results now, and the experience of materials research accumulated over the years, including some computer applications for simulation research, could be found by Duke and absorbed by Duke's Kerry.
