Aoki received a call from Mei Ziqing saying that the professor had come to him to discuss things, so he hurried over. Mei Ziqing took him to the large conference room on the third floor of the experimental building, where there were already more than a dozen people seated, most of them silent.

Aoki felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, so he asked Mei Ziqing what was going on.

Mei Ziqing whispered: "These are all scientists in China who have signed through Lester, that is, members of the Third Space Foundation. Today is the panel meeting of the Third Space Foundation in China. ”

Aoki was inexplicable. He hadn't said he wanted to join the Third Space Foundation, which is the organization of the scientific community. A lazy person like him would never want to be limited by any organizational discipline.

"Where's the professor?" He asked.

"The professor is in the office sorting out the materials and will be here in a moment." Mei Ziqing said, "Oh yes, the professor asked me to discuss with you to see if I can find a place to keep more cats." ”

Aoki said: "It's definitely not good in the city, cats can bark, and if you raise more, you can also have a taste, and if you want to raise it, you have to find a place in the suburbs." ”

"Then please bother!" Plum Qingdao.

Aoki thought for a while and said, "We can draw a place in the training base of our security company, it is very remote, and they are all our own people, and there is no problem with security and confidentiality." But now cat food is no longer available in supermarkets and online, and feeding is a problem. ”

"This is a question, can you not use cat food, directly feed fish and meat, cats can also digest a small amount of starch, fish soup bibimbap is also a very delicious food for them, so that the cat is a cat in the traditional sense, more research value!" Mei Ziqing said.

Aoki nodded and said, "That's okay, but it's hard to say how many stray cats you can get, and you can't blatantly collect them." ”

Their whispering in the back row clearly affected the scientists sitting in front of them, and someone turned around and asked, "Miss Mei Ziqing, who is this young man?" ”

Mei Ziqing said, "Ah-this is Mr. Aoki. ”

"Where is Mr. Aoki? How come I didn't hear of such a young talent in science! ”

"Did he sign through Lester? Miss Mei Ziqing, do you know what kind of meeting it is today? For the sake of Professor Mei's face, it is already an exception for you to participate, how can you bring another young man in! ”

"This"

When Mei Ziqing didn't know how to answer, Mei Yiqiu walked into the conference room with a stack of materials.

"Ziqing has passed Lester's signature, and the original file of her thinking matrix is in my office, which I personally deciphered, and you can read it at any time if you want to see it. Because I was a veteran member of the Foundation, I didn't list her name separately in the membership list. She, like all of you, is fully qualified to attend this meeting! ”

Mei Yiqiu's words made Mei Ziqing take a reassuring pill, and her heart was full of gratitude.

"As for this Mr. Aoki," Mei Yiqiu walked to the chair of the conference room, "he is the adviser I have hired, and you need not doubt him, and if you doubt him, you will doubt me." ”

"Well, since the professor said so, then we naturally have nothing to say."

Mei Yiqiu is one of the founders of the Third Space Foundation, and has a high status in the scientific community.

He smiled at everyone and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then asked Mei Ziqing, "Is the network disconnected?" ”

Mei Ziqing said: "It's all disconnected, the electromagnetic shielding has been activated, and now there is nothing here that can communicate with the outside world." ”

Mei Yiqiu said, "Okay, please turn off your mobile phones." ”

Aoki took out his mobile phone, only to find that there was no signal for a long time.

Someone asked, "Professor Mei, don't be so mysterious!" ”

Mei Yiqiu interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Ziqing, pull off the electric switch and use the backup power supply." ”

Mei Ziqing said hello and went out. The professor silently lit his pipe. When the flame of his cigarette lit was lit, the lights in the conference room went out. When his pipe was lit and the flame was extinguished, the lamp came back on.

Everyone feels more and more mysterious, and it is understandable that the network is off, what is going on when the power is off? Is it safer to have a backup power supply?

When Mei Ziqing came back, a black and white cat meowed in. Mei Ziqing groaned and wanted to chase after her, but saw that the cat had already jumped on the chair next to the professor and was looking at the professor with a smile. The professor picked up the cat with a kind brow and said, "Oh, you want to listen too?" Listen to it if you want to. ”

Seeing that the professor had no intention of driving the cat out, Mei Ziqing closed the door and sat down in her place.

Mei Yiqiu put the cat down and said to the group, "You know the current situation—very bad! Awful! ”

Everyone looked at him in amazement, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"I know you're puzzled why I'm going to disconnect the internet, cut off the power, and block the signal. I'll talk about this later, and when we hold a meeting, there must always be a theme and order, and I will first talk about the current operation and research results of the foundation. ”

Mei Yiqiu opened the information, first talked about the funds raised by the foundation and the progress of several important projects, and then said: "The development speed of the foundation in the past two months has been faster than we expected, in addition to the number of funds, there are already one hundred and ninety-eight formal members, if you count Ziqing and Mr. Aoki, it can just be enough for two hundred. As the world's top consortium of scientists, 200 people is already a lot. ”

Someone immediately raised an objection: "Rapid development is naturally gratifying, but the cause of human destiny should not be cautious!" If you don't distinguish your membership, especially young people who have no academic achievements, it will not help science to save the world, and once you leak the secrets, it will be too late to regret it! ”

His words meant something, and several people looked at Aoki and Mei Ziqing.

Mei Yiqiu said: "You want to talk about this Internet revelation and the cat killing order, right?" Well, that's the important question to be discussed today – who is this whistleblower? What is the purpose? ”

"Does this still need to be discussed? It must have been done by someone inside the Foundation, there was a traitor among us! "Someone said.

"How so?" Mei asked.

"Lester's last words are okay, in addition to the members of the Foundation, there were some military and political dignitaries who came to participate when you were in Copenhagen, but the gray brain virus is only known to our insiders, and the relationship between the virus and Toxoplasma gondii has just been confirmed, so it is impossible for the outside world to know. So detailed materials broke out, who are the insiders? ”

"Why would our people do this?" Questions were raised.
