"Sigourney, Christine, what do you mean by the notice from above prohibiting contact with foreigners for non-work reasons?" Mason was a little depressed in the past two days, because all the personnel in the base had received this internal notice.

"Who knows," Christine spread her hands, "it's just that it's usually forbidden to leave the base, and now it's hard to get some friends from foreign delegations, and as a result, we won't be allowed to contact them." ”

"Mason, are you annoyed that you can't go to Zhang Dada, where are you two in relationship now? Is there a ......," Sigourney teased Mason as he suddenly thought of the reason for Mason's concern, "That Zhang Dada has a big nose, and I remember someone saying that people with big noses are very good in 'that aspect'. ”

"Ah, what do you say, I've only eaten with him two or three times," Mason's face turned red at once.

She seemed to think of something again, and then asked Sigourney in a low voice, "Is it true that the person with the big nose is 'that' powerful?" ”

Sigourney nodded, "I haven't tried it though, so I'm waiting for your 'tips' now." ”

"Jason also has a big nose, no wonder Hill picked him on the road in the first place," Christine sighed, "Well, I'm really an afterthought." ”

While the three flight attendant girls were chatting with interest about the man's nose, Kim and Hill were busy in the research room.

Hill would be in a daze when she saw Kim from time to time, and she would sigh after a while, she stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you tired, do you want to take a break?" ”

Jin shook his head, looking a little sad, "Hill, do you say that Liu Jiajun is really the kind of person Charles said?" ”

"Spies? Agent? Hill asked.

Kim nodded, keeping her eyes on Ciel's face, wanting to get the truest answer from her demeanor.

"I don't know," Hill thought for a moment, she really didn't know, "but I believe Dr. Mario, he doesn't think Caramon Lau is an ordinary person, so he ......." ”

Hill's words weren't finished, but Kim had already understood what she meant, "I believe the doctor too. It's just that all of a sudden...... Suddenly, not only Liu Jiajun, but even Rick was charged with being a spy. ”

"I don't understand, the Houston Institute has always been fine, and since that Charles came, there have been many subtle changes here, even Dr. Martin has been affected, she now locks herself in her room every day, and I can feel the depression and helplessness in her heart." Hill continued, "While Dr. Mario would often come over to comfort her, I don't think Dr. Martin would have a hard time coming out of that relationship anytime soon. ”

"Sometimes I feel that we ordinary people can't do a lot of things under the interference of the military, they can do whatever they want, and they can do whatever they want." Jin sighed again, "They always talk about the security and interests of the country, I don't understand, isn't it for the country that we are working hard to pay for scientific research?" ”

"Whether it's Rick or Liu Jiajun, even if they are really spies, it's just their job, as long as they don't harm the interests of other countries, everyone can get along and become friends." Jin's eyes looked out the window of the research room, from where he could also see the Buffalo River that Liu Jiajun jumped into when he fled, "Between countries, it is enough to have a national border, and some people have to add more barriers to it." And now that there are zombies everywhere outside, and the number of living people is getting smaller and smaller, if the current environment still has to be obsessed with nationality and identity, then what future does humanity have? ”

"Maybe Charles is doing it for his political achievements since he came to Houston?" King's words resonated with Hill, who was naturally resistant to professions that were hidden in the shadows, so she didn't have a good impression of Charles, "Politicians never care about the common people at the bottom." ”

"Martin, are you feeling better?" Dr. Mario came to the door of Martin's room and knocked softly.

The door opened, and the woman who appeared in the door looked very calm, and she nodded to Mario.

"Charles is also for the country and his work, even if Rick doesn't do anything bad for the institute, he still needs to take precautions," Mario often comes to talk to Martin these days, and he wants to help his assistant resolve the knot.

Mario knows Martin's character well and knows that she is a woman who is persistent at work and slow to heat up emotionally. It is difficult for Martin to start a relationship, but if she has someone she likes, she actually regards the other person as a partner who can be together for life.

After Rick's identity as a spy is revealed, he is pursued by Charles and leaves the Houston Institute, which hurts Martin very much, and because of her temper, she once huddles in her own world, as if she doesn't face it, there will be no pain.

Mario saw this in his eyes and was also very distressed, he had worked with Martin for more than ten years, and he had been taking this assistant with him since she was a girl who had just graduated from school. Martin was very good and was able to be on her own in the lab early, but she was still emotionally like a child, and the first time someone walked in her heart was such a result.

"I know that it is difficult for a relationship to have smooth sailing, even if two people who truly love each other, they may not be together in the end." Martin thought about it for a while, and finally planned to say some words in his heart to Mario, "If Charles could have been a little more patient, maybe the result would have been completely different." Does it matter if Rick isn't a spy or not? Zhang Wenzhuo has been in China for so long, and now that he can come back, doesn't Rick have a chance to integrate into us? ”

"Charles used the simplest and most brutal way to push the people who might have been his companions directly to the opposite side, and he probably didn't know that Rick had helped us a lot in many things," Martin continued, and Dr. Mario listened quietly to her inner thoughts.

As long as the assistant is willing to take the initiative to speak, Mario can put his mind at ease, which is also a sign that Martin is beginning to let go of his knots.

"You're right, Rick is a rare talent if you don't think about his identity," Mario nodded, "The nature of Charles' job is different from ours, and he doesn't know much about this place, but anyway, Rick's business is in the past, and the courage on our shoulders hasn't been lifted yet." ”

"George Mather is nearing the end of this conference, and I don't know what kind of outcome this conference will bring to the world," Mario continued, "and there are some things I can only say to you, Martin. Dr. George made some of the information out at the meeting, but he hid more from it, he was my colleague, and it would have been inappropriate to discuss him behind his back, but I still felt that there was something wrong with what he was doing. ”

"Yes, although the main purpose of this conference is to share information and work together to open up new fields, I feel uncomfortable with this kind of concealment, as if it is just using the scientific resources of other countries to serve us," Martin nodded.

"There is a lack of sincerity on the part of the state," Mario said.

"It's time for Washington to put aside the face of being a superpower and join hands with other countries to do something substantial for the planet," Martin agreed with Mario, echoing, "Our research progress is not in exchange with scholars from other countries because of national bonds, which is not a good thing for all mankind." ”

"Political ...... Alas," Mario sighed, expressing his helplessness.

"Mario, you said that if the surviving scientists of the world could form a coalition, I mean an independent alliance, an alliance that is not constrained by any country, and only then can the power of science be maximized," Martin said, "although the state provides us with material and security guarantees, but it also restricts the progress and development of the project in many places, although my idea is very contradictory, but this is a direction I hope for." ”

"An independent alliance?" Mario froze for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

"That Chinese scholar named Zhao Kang, I'm sure he's the mysterious hacker I fought several times. He is so young, he has a deep attainment in the field of the Internet, and his achievements will be extraordinary in time. But such a genius, after I met him, I could only become an opponent, or even an enemy, for no other reason than because we had different nationalities. When Martin said this, he suddenly remembered that he almost helped Rick and others put Zhao Kang to death a few months ago, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Only the world of the United States is not perfect, and even a little ugly, equality, freedom, these things that we used to talk about, they belong to the whole world, not only to us people." ”

"It is true that as you said, most of the resources of human development are used in 'internal friction', but the state still has an irreplaceable importance for individuals. It is a group, a larger group than a nation. From a material point of view, the state provides a normal environment for the development of our lives and guarantees our rights; In the abstract, it is also the belief and spiritual sustenance of the people. Mario thought for a moment, "The science and technology alliance that exists independently of the state...... to be honest is a bit like a tree without roots. ”

"Utopia?" Martin also understands that his idea is a bit unrealistic, because although it is not difficult to find a few people to form this alliance, it is difficult for any scientist to do anything without the material support of the state.

Think of a car, an airplane, and so on, and so on, and if they run out of fuel, they can only be parked there, just like scrap metal in the corner of a factory.

"Whatever the politicians at Warsanton think, our work needs to continue because people all over the world are in dire straits," Mario patted Martin on the shoulder, his eyes filled with encouragement and hope.

"I see," Martin let out a long exhalation and nodded, tossing all the distractions from his head.

"When can I go back to the lab?" Seeing that Martin's mood was much better than the previous day, Mario finally put his mind at ease.

"Now." ()
