Chapter 658: Betrayal
"Hell, how can I possibly understand these things?" Lincoln flipped through the stack of manuscripts in his hand, he knew most of the words, but it was inexplicable to put them together, and there were many technical words and abbreviations that he couldn't even read. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As an agent sent by the CIA to keep an eye on Professor Alonzo, Lincoln worked in Japan for almost two months with a team of four. He originally thought that this was just the DuPont consortium using his connections to let him look at the important people who invested more than a billion dollars in the consortium.
During his time in Tokyo, Lincoln slowly relaxed restrictions on professors. He didn't understand the other party's work at all, and he couldn't even pick up what the other party said, and as for restricting the other party's actions, the old man never left after entering the University of Tokyo.
But what seems to be an ordinary scene is completely different because of the escape of a chimpanzee!
In less than three hours, after the chimpanzees were playing a violent show at Tokyo Tower, more than a dozen calls were made to Lincoln's phone, each of them coming from a bigger picture. At first, he was the internal director of the CIA, and soon the DuPont consortium, the Department of Defense, and even the president's office came to inquire.
A vice president of the DuPont consortium also scolded Lincoln, saying why he hadn't discovered Professor Alonzo's amazing research earlier.
"Fu*ck, am I a biochemist, how do I know what that old man is studying?" Lincoln was furious, but he could only hurry to Professor Alenzo's hospital with his men. In the past few days, he has hooked up with a Japanese girl, and he is suspected of dereliction of duty.
Professor Alenzo is at the University of Tokyo Hospital, and the entrance to the ward is already guarded by American agents. Even the U.S. military stationed in Japan at the Yokohama base sent people to help, and it is said that the Ministry of Defense was interested in the professor's research.
Super soldiers, who wouldn't be interested?
The hospital was already heavily guarded, and Lincoln only went in with his CIA sign. When he arrived at the door of the ward, he asked his men guarding the door, "How is the professor?" ”
"He was hit on the head, but the doctor said that he was in good condition and that nothing was wrong. I'm awake now, but I don't want to talk to people. The subordinate said.
Lincoln nodded and pushed the door in. There were additional guards in the room, as well as caretakers who had been specially transferred from the US military base. Professor Alonzo, on the other hand, was eating dinner, oblivious to the people around him.
"Congratulations, Professor!" Lincoln pulled up a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, wanting to shake hands with the professor and congratulate him, but the other party ignored him.
It's a bit self-deprecating, but Lincoln is used to it. Now that the other side is in full swing, all the research institutes around the world are trying to contact this strange old man, and a lot of intelligence agents want to get something from this old man, even a few words are precious.
"Professor, you know what? The President has just proposed that you be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for your service to the United States. As a result, Congress told him that it was only for military personnel. Lincoln joked.
Professor Alonzo pushed the plate away in front of him, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and then continued to say proudly with a cold face: "I deserve any honor." ”
"Of course, of course, it's amazing how much of an intellectual and physical improvement a chimpanzee can make. I just came out of your chimpanzee enclosure, and the remaining eleven chimpanzees all show ......, frightening abilities.
Yes, I can only use the word horror. At first I thought it was fun, but then I thought it was ....... ”
Lincoln couldn't find the words to describe how he felt at the time, it wasn't a great feeling. Professor Alonzo smiled sarcastically and said, "Fear that one day you will be dominated or even surpassed by a group of chimpanzees, right?" ”
"Uh......, yes, yes." Lincoln felt that he had picked a topic that was not very good, and to be honest, today he really felt the horror of being a biochemist. Ordinary weapons can only kill hundreds or thousands of people, but these top scholars can change the entire human race, the entire world.
"The Department of Defense has ordered a complete lockdown of your lab to ensure that no information is leaked out. It took a lot of effort to get the chimpanzees out of the enclosure, and they were all shipped back to the United States.
By the way, the Department of Defense has also made a request to the DuPont consortium that it wants to spend $2 billion to buy ownership of all your previous research results, and that it will immediately pass a supplementary budget of no less than $1 billion and completely put it at your disposal.
As a result, the DuPont consortium did not hesitate to refuse, saying that it would invest another two billion dollars in the further development of your NTZ project, and give you maximum freedom. In other words, you don't have to worry about running out of funds in the future, and you don't have to worry about being forced to get results. ”
No one cares about Professor Alonzo's procrastination on the NTZ project over the past decade or so, let alone criticizing why he went to Japan to do it. Now all I want is to get the professor back from Japan.
Lincoln laughed as he spoke, still sighing in his heart: Top scholars are really lucky, and a lot of money can be exchanged for a result, and now the issue of the ownership of the NTZ project has been submitted to Congress for discussion.
The U.S. Congress reached a consensus to support Professor Alonzo's follow-up development, and some people even called for an investigation into the persecution of the professor by the DuPont consortium, which actually led to such a great scientist having to go to Japan to achieve results.
It's crazy, it's really crazy!
Except for the chimpanzee that escaped, the remaining eleven chimpanzees all looked healthy. Lincoln filmed a lot of videos about the intelligence and physical enhancement of these chimpanzees, and the senior officials and dignitaries in the US Congress and the Department of Defense almost exploded after watching them.
This kind of scene that only exists in movies actually happened in reality, and everyone was moved by it. Especially after learning of Professor Alonzo's injury, the old men in Congress immediately demanded that this 'jewel of America' be repatriated if his health permitted.
"Professor, in order to show that you are very important, Mr. President, you have specially sent your special plane, and the escort personnel are already ready at the airport. The doctor said that you are in good health, so you must return to your home country immediately. Lincoln said, he was a little worried that the stubborn old man wouldn't go.
Professor Alonzo, however, readily agreed, but he further asked, "Is the security job done?" ”
"Of course, you're absolutely safe." Lincoln said, "Do you need to ask?"
"I hope you can assume that there is a possibility of extremely violent terrorists attacking me, and make arrangements for such a situation." Professor Alonzo said very seriously.
Lincoln was surprised and asked, "Do you think someone is going to hurt you?" ”
"You don't need to know much, what you get in the lab isn't the most critical, the important details of the NTZ project are all in my head." Professor Alonzo's gaze was cold, "You just need to make sure that I return to the United States safely." ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Lincoln didn't hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement. And when he walked out of the ward, he immediately contacted the CIA's Langley headquarters, "Director, I'm Lincoln." Professor Alonzo is probably hiding something from us, and he just told me that he was worried that someone would threaten his safety. (To be continued.) )
