Chapter 144: The Beginning (5)
Rorsted's speech to the Public Foundation Committee was quiet and slow, but the impact on the members of the committee was obvious, the exchange of words and ears of the committee seemed to have disappeared, and the atmosphere in the whole room seemed very strange, and everyone was thinking, trying to think about how what Rorsted said should be blended with the news that Mr. Bont had brought back that year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Faulklin remembered the jigsaw puzzle game he had played as a child, the two were so identical, but so different, the similarity was that people were constantly getting the small pieces of the puzzle of this huge game, no matter how fast or slow, they would be constantly moving towards the most complete day, and the difference was that the puzzle in front of him had no reference pattern, and there was no possibility of cheating, Faulklin felt that the more he knew, there was a feeling that people would find that they knew less. Perhaps many members of the committee already had the panic derived from this feeling in their hearts at this moment, and everyone remained silent except for Rorsted's speech. Silence is always temporary, and this is simply a truth that never disappears from the world. When Rorsted mentioned that the Dominator had interfered with many more Earth species, Dowell almost jumped to his feet to speak, and the senior experts and giants from the pharmaceutical field said that he should know something, and he made an invitation to everyone.
Even if it was an ordinary invitation, everyone would have agreed out of politeness, and even more so on matters related to the core work of the committee, and they did not hesitate to finalize the date. Faulklin frowned, thinking to himself, it seems that the agreement between himself and British Prime Minister Meghan to exchange security affairs on Europa is about to be canceled, what excuse can he make? This needs to be handled by the assistant. Europa's security is destined to be unavoidable by Emric, so Faulin took the initiative to establish a regular meeting system with Prime Minister Meghan, in order to have a more consistent view on some security matters. Not this time, Faulklin thought he was right, and he trusted his instincts. The date of the visit was set for Friday morning, and Faulklin didn't know what Dofour was going to present, and in fact, apart from the discussion and cooperation on the committee, the committee members usually did not have much work to intersect, and this was the strange thing about the committee. It was only in the early years of the Commission's history that the identities of the members were very close, and after almost two hundred years, the members covered almost all the important areas of society, so it was not unusual for them to not know much about each other's ordinary identities. The committee members all know that since a person can enter the committee, then he must have a leading position and absolute influence in his industry.
This is the case with the Dofour family, which has long been a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals in the form of pharmaceutical research institutes, pharmaceutical factories and pharmacies. In this century, the Dofour consortium has set its sights on the emerging field of medical devices, and has begun to establish a large-scale, well-equipped and high-tech chain of hospitals. It is rumored that the staff of the research institute under the Dover consortium have begun to move towards a field that people have never heard of before: biochemistry. Rorsted looked at the memo that the committee had sent to each member, and the content of the memo contained in a few pages was so pitiful, and what that said. As president, he is the supreme commander of the country, but unfortunately as a member of the committee, he has no more right to know than to take on more responsibilities. Can't that change? Faulklin muttered to himself, he didn't want anyone to know about his idea, and looked up to see that the other members were talking or looking down at the memo. Everyone is definitely looking forward to Friday's trip to the Dofer Consortium Laboratory.
Meghan's anxiety is justified, as intelligence from German shows that security threats are escalating, meaning Europa will be caught up in the war again. In many wars in history, Breeze exerted its own influence on the continent as it deemed necessary, so much so that many countries knew that the war in Europa had to consider the influence of Breez, regardless of which side it was. In the face of the fact that Zhiman constantly sent various exchange delegations to Breez, Meghan dared to take it lightly. At a secret meeting of the Cabinet, the intelligence services gave a report that explained the dangers of the delegation: compared to the past, Zhiman's intelligence gathering in Breech had reached an extremely rampant level, and it was not a normal interaction between the two countries in peacetime. The report concluded that German was gradually speeding up preparations for war, and copies of these reports had been sent to the ambassador of Emerik in Breez, where President Faulklin would give his opinion at the next meeting. In the decades since the beginning of this century, although Les is still developing, but the acceleration is weak, after all, it cannot be compared with the sudden rise of Emerik, I have to admit that if in the past it was only Les who could have a decisive impact on the security of Europa, then today I am afraid that Les is willing but powerless, but Amiric is obviously having this ability, so it is necessary to establish a security affairs meeting system with Amiric, Meghan also wrote about the establishment of this system in her State of the Union report to Congress last year. It should be noted that the concerns and attitudes of Emerik towards Europa affairs are not completely consistent, and there are quite a few people from parliamentarians to ordinary people in society who do not agree that their countries spend more energy on the security of the continent on the other side of the ocean. Meghan's sometimes efforts in the political arena of Amerik are also constantly reducing this influence.
In order to have more exchanges with Emerik and express the high sincerity of Bres, the intelligence services of the two countries exchanged a lot of things. Meghan also signed a document allowing the Bonthe II Directorate, a subsidiary of the Emerik State Intelligence Agency, to operate in Breth, despite the particularly strange scope of the Bunt II's work. The secret permission is not only known to Meghan, but also to the members of the small group of "little stonemasons", including the queen. No matter how the name changes over the years, a small group is a small group after all, the range of members is basically the same, the origin is fixed, and as the proverb known to the people of Bules, the son of a stonemason will still be a stonemason. The small group is unsure of the purpose of Emrik's Bont 2nd Bureau's intelligence gathering, but the overlap with the scope of the small stonemason's activities is enough to cause alarm. On more than one occasion, the queen stood in front of the portraits of the ancestors of Villes in the hall, emphasizing word by word that the little stonemasons could change the way they controlled power, but would never give it up. Meghan expressed absolute compliance with the queen's attitude, even if it is very likely that the god who has appeared a long time ago abandoned the little stonemason's control of Bules, the little stonemason will never abandon himself himself. Bules may no longer be the most powerful empire, but it will never become a lonely and red sun. When the note that Falklin could not attend the regular meeting reached Meghan, Meghan did not show much disappointment and threw it in the corner of the table. Outside the window, people celebrating the festival formed a procession, dressed up in various strange shapes and walked one after another, and some even dressed as stones in Stonehenge, with a smile on Meghan's lips. Do ordinary people understand that the clouds of revenge that will inevitably implicate Breez in the sky over Europa are enjoying the moment?
Friday morning's work had already been arranged, and the secretary postponed the regular weekend press conference in place of Mr. President, and asked reporters not to report on the president's whereabouts, and he gave a mischievous but reasonable explanation, Mr. President wanted to have a weekend with the first lady without being disturbed, after all, their wedding anniversary was approaching. The reporters sent their blessings and left, Faulklin had already left the residence, and he had no secretary by his side, only a few intelligence officers from the Bont Second Bureau. After turning a few streets, the car with a normal license plate turned onto Route 200, a new road that is smooth and straight, a symbol of the capital, which is also an important part of the economic crisis mitigation plan, creating tens of thousands of jobs. Faulklin learned that Doffor's laboratory was not about 30 kilometers off the road, but that he had invested in the industrial park after the road was repaired. There are many projects under construction along the road, and the more projects, the fewer job opportunities, and the day when the economy will get out of the predicament is getting closer and closer. Faulklin nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with his decision, and of course, he represented the Public Foundation Committee.
Before they reached the thirty kilometers, a huge billboard on the side of the road indicated their destination. The brand is very simple, the equipment in the laboratory plus a few things that doctors often hold in their hands, and the advertising slogan is very apt, Dover is always with you. Faulklin felt a little funny, he saw through the car window the tall milky white factory building, and the parking lot in front of him was already lined with high-end cars, it seemed that Mr. President's car was really low-key. After Faulin arrived, Dofer and the others all entered the factory. Except for the necessary intelligence officer in charge of pushing Faulin, no one else had an entourage, which was Dofour's request. The environment inside the factory felt completely different from the outside, although the sunlight outside was good, there was not a single window around the factory at that time, and the interior lighting was provided by neatly arranged incandescent lamps. The light is not dazzling but the room is not dim, Dofour explained that many scientific experiment environments actually have requirements for light, and bad lighting not only affects the line of sight of experimenters, causing visual fatigue and reducing work efficiency, and even light itself is one of the conditions for experiments. The corridor was not long, and soon everyone came to a huge lift, and with the elevator people entered more than a hundred meters below. Faulklin had met with representatives of the miners' union, and knew from them that the temperature would rise dramatically after reaching a certain depth below, but there was no feeling of stuffiness here. Dofour's explanation is the same as about the lights, and it makes the visitors look forward to what they are about to see. From the rows of neat corridors, workshops, and production lines, it can be seen that the area has long exceeded the factory building on the ground, this is a building hidden underneath, almost like a fortification, Falklin and Dover are next to each other, he joked that it is extremely safe here. Dofour nodded, mentioning that the experiments they were conducting contained considerable dangers, and if there was an accident that could not be handled normally, they could consider simply closing a part of the building underneath so that it would not cause a greater impact. What kind of danger was further aroused, but Dover did not explain further, but asked the gentlemen to take a few quick steps and begin the tour.
Faulklin couldn't remember how long the tour lasted, in fact everyone except Dofour was shocked by what they saw with their own eyes, no one noticed the time at all, and the group walked forward as if they were hypnotized. What kind of scene was it, giant toads from the southern continent, injected with special medicines, ovulated in large quantities, frog eggs warmed and hatched in advance, and visitors were lucky enough to see what hatched from these giant frog eggs, which were completely different from the immature juvenile toads, and the slender heads showed that they were a different species entirely. Dofour didn't explain, he just led the people forward. In other labs, multiple deformed human hatchlings were fixed to the test bench, and some had been dismembered, with surrounding experimenters working on the dismembered parts that visitors could not understand. It was supposed to be a disgusting sight, but no one vomited because everyone was shocked. In the past, people thought that those deformed people who were born freaks, children abandoned by God, you have all seen, not at all, they are just deformed, and they are the result of accidents in the process of human growth. If we could have done some controlled intervention in advance, then there would not have been these sorrows, just as we turned a toad into a python. In the third experimental division, people saw a concentration of domestic animals, and the experimenters were studying different parts, and Dofour, explaining that they wanted to get information about why the animals were able to develop quickly. Through the glass, the immobilized animals were struggling, but they still couldn't escape the merciless movement of the experimental equipment, and Rorsted leaned on the window, muttering to himself, I seem to have seen this in my dreams. But no one paid attention to his words, everyone's brains had long since lost their eyes to their eyes, and in the underground on the side of Highway 200, Dhoor's research was actually like this, and according to him, it had some similarity to the interference of the Juggernauts in humanity.
Doffor's invitation shocked everyone on the committee, including the special member of the committee, Rorsted, and the results in the laboratory were not reported in any newspaper or magazine, but they were real. The last part of the tour is that as soon as the last part of the company, watching the white powder be evenly weighed and then packed into a pre-manufactured miniature container, Dover was so intoxicated that he said to himself, this is the crystallization of wisdom that people can only understand the detailed ingredients from the manual, but the manual cannot say anything, any slight change in the molecular structure can become a paving stone to the great temple of power. His speech was praised by many people present, and some committee members even gave warm applause, and Faulin's face showed a special look, which Dofour did not feel. In the conference room of the factory, the committee members took a short break, which was also a good opportunity for Dofour to explain what had just been visited. The horrific scene is explained by Dofuer, which reduces the gore, and not only that, but also brings a touch of human warmth. The research of the Dover laboratory has indeed brought great benefits to mankind, but the danger brought by the experiment and the abuse after the success of the experiment are also big problems that people cannot avoid. Some of the members have already raised it, but Dofour did not evade it, but led the question to another angle, he faced all the committee members, and talked eloquently, members, are we not the real masters of power in the United States, no matter what exists, it is either a tool or a result, the tool is in our hands, and the key to the problem is what kind of result we want. Before he could finish speaking, one person applauded enthusiastically, then the second person, the third person, almost all of them began to applaud in support of Dofuor's speech. Faulklin's lead applause drew a nod of gratitude from Dofher.
The first meeting after the visit of the committee members is about to turn into a conference for the promotion of top technologies in various fields. The committee members came up with secret achievements in their fields one after another and exchanged them with each other. Faulklin realized and finally admitted that even his presidency of the United States did not necessarily wield more power than any one of the members of the room. If the power wielded by the president as an office during his term of office is visible, then all of you here are the wielders of the invisible power of the United States. Obviously, the latter is more powerful, because implicit itself is one of the powerful connotations. Faulklin has expressed a particularly high level of interest in Hughes Power's latest results. Mr. Hughes has given his research project a very strange name, Apocalypse. As the name suggests, God will restart the planning of mankind and start the process of civilization again. Faulklin remembered Hughes's statement that once the research was successful, it was possible to use small special chemical elements to release huge amounts of energy. The utility ratio of energy will exceed all current energy sources, and the controllable release of this energy can also produce controllable light, heat, and pressure. Someone raised his hand and asked, "Does that mean that the results of the research will directly change our perception of ordinary energy and usher in a new era?" Hughes nodded, yes, so I gave the project that name. Faulklin shook hands with Hughes, and he made a suggestion that Hughes Industries would work with the State Intelligence Agency to broaden the scope of his research. Hughes's eyes told Faulklin, and he agreed. At the end of the meeting, Faulklin sat down in the car on the way back and asked the intelligence officer if there was any update on Europa.
