Chapter 9: The Roots of Decay
When Victor arrived at the institute, the lights were on.
All scientific research and technical personnel were busy on site looking for information on the No. 4 satellite, and as time passed, all methods and efforts ultimately failed. Victor leaned back in his chair wearily, and he had to face the reality that the Badoja 4 satellite had lost contact with the ground.
"Tiena," Victor said, "path data. ”
Tiena handed Victor the SA data of Badoja IV.
Victor turned straight to the last page.
"It's Tasanwa again." "Is it because of the debris that I hit?" ”
"As far as I know, the last image information sent by No. 4 is stable, and the monitoring of all electronic equipment is safe." Tiena said.
"If it's a fragment in a high-speed state," Victor said, "it's like a cannonball." ”
"But the outer core of No. 4 has been alloyed." "If it's an impact, it's data-savvy. ”
"AGD Signal Propagation Theory?"
"Yes." Tiena said, "AGD theory. ”
Victor looked at the girl in front of him in amazement, knowing that the AGD signal propagation theory is not something that an ordinary graduate of the research institute can understand.
"You studied Gomaiy physics?" Victor asked.
"Strictly speaking, it's Gomey-Langton military physics."
"Victor," Eva called, "President West is looking for you. ”
"What? Where is he? ”
"It's in his office."
"Oh my God—"
Victor got up and walked to the president's office.
"West, when did you come?" Victor closed the door and said.
West placed a slip in front of Victor.
"What is this?" Victor asked.
"This is the accident investigation data of the Badoja-4 satellite, and it will be handed over to the research institute committee."
"Investigation report?"
Victor was stunned for a moment. The report opens.
"This is pure." "The engine of the fourth is the original engine, and its safety and controllability have been tested hundreds of times, who wrote this report? ”
"Victor, the cause of the accident doesn't matter, the engine or the circuit is the problem, the important thing is that the No. 4 machine is gone, we lost it, if we can't give a reasonable explanation, the research committee will not give up. Now that the matter is out, someone has to bear it, I am the president, and I can't get rid of the crime of dereliction of duty. ”
"Dereliction of duty?" Victor said, "You were busy from morning to night, and you put all your heart and soul into the number four, which everyone saw, and now that the number four machine has a problem, they can't put all the blame on you." ”
"No, Victor, I ......," West said in a slurding "I...... It's not clean. ”
"What are you talking about?"
"Victor, the electronic mechanism of the fourth machine has not been tested in the T-field."
Victor's eyes widened as he looked at West.
"I'm sorry, Victor, I didn't have a choice, I didn't have a choice."
"Why?" Victor asked, "Why?" It's also your heart's work, why? ”
"I don't have a choice, I have to."
"Why, exactly?"
"It's the House of Representatives." "I'm just a president, and I don't have a choice. ”
"Why did the House do this?"
"Hmph, why, for the money." West smiled bitterly, "The original electronic mechanism used in the No. 4 machine is the core technology imported from Nancourt, and its cost is expensive. The difference went into the pockets of the politicians. ”
"Why didn't you tell me then?" Victor said, "If I had known......"
"You're going to denounce them? To report them? West said, "To whom?" The Consulate? Wiki? Ola? What is the court under the jurisdiction of the House of Representatives? Or the House of Representatives? Victor, you're only impulsive, so I didn't tell you. ”
"Is that what they do?" "Is it just like watching them ruin our hard work?" West, how can you do this? What did we build the fourth machine for? How can you do that? ”
"We're just civilians, Victor." "It's the reality. Even the prestigious legal office and even the wiki have to bow to the House of Representatives, we are nothing, we are nothing in front of them. ”
"West, please answer me honestly, did you take any money in this matter?"
"I swear I didn't take a penny."
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest of the matter," Victor said, throwing the report in front of West, "and I'll do it my way." ”
"What do you want to do?"
Instead of answering, Victor walked out of the president's office and slammed the door shut.
