Chapter 23: Dong Xuecheng
After Zhang Fei arranged her father's affairs, she took Li Man to the bottom floor of the building by taking the chairman's special elevator, which is also the most confidential and well-defended scientific research center base of the Martial Arts Guild. When she passed through the second protective door, her bodyguard Li Man stopped, and Zhang Fei's security duties were handed over to the internal guards of the base.
In front of the third protective door, the escorted internal guard also stopped, and Zhang Fei opened the last protective door through the brainwave test, and only then did he really enter the scientific research center of the Martial Arts Guild. She went through the corridor to a special meeting room, and then called Dong Xuecheng, the head of the scientific research center, through the internal call system.
Dong Xuecheng heard the sound of the call, but he didn't pay attention to it, but insisted on completing the work in hand, then he looked back at the computer and knew that it was Zhang Fei who called him, so he got out of the laboratory, took off his lab coat, came to the meeting room, and said when he saw Zhang Fei: "What is Mr. Zhang doing here?" ”
"I designed a plan for Qi Yunsheng, and you give me advice from a scientific and technological point of view." Zhang Fei has always been straight to the point with Dong Xuecheng. The two seem to be a little out of temper, so they rarely communicate emotionally, and they always have something to say.
Dong Xuecheng, a 55-year-old graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been engaged in the study of internal forces (called the Force in the United States) since he was in college. However, at that time, due to his status as a Chinese student, he was never able to participate in the central circle of force studies in the United States.
After graduating, he was unwilling to engage in other industries, thus burying his efforts in the study of internal forces in recent years. So he submitted his resume to many national or private institutions in China, the United States, Russia, Europe and other countries or regions that study internal forces (the force or magic), and the only requirements attached were that he should determine the research direction, be able to take charge of independent projects, and have independent research funds.
In the end, the only one who replied to him was a township-level partnership in China, which was the Martial Arts Guild. So he joined the martial arts guild without hesitation. For him, as long as there is a project and funds for him to display his talents, even if it is really a guild composed of a group of spicy crayfish, he doesn't care.
In the more than 20 years since he joined the Guild, he has formed and led his own scientific research team, which has spent nearly one-third of the total income of the Martial Arts Guild, but has achieved nothing. If it is really an ordinary district-level enterprise, one-third of the total revenue of the enterprise in 20 years may not be much. However, Sima Zhengyi can't fight and kill, and he can't do scientific research, but you have to admit that he is a good hand in making money!
Security companies, special equipment companies, real estate, Internet, financial investment, etc., as long as it is a profitable business, there is no chairman Sima who can't play it. People in the business community respectfully call Brother Justice "Tianyan", believing that as long as it is the industry, stocks and even commodities that he has his eye, there is no one who does not make money. In the past twenty years, the total income of the Martial Arts Guild has been an astonishing astronomical amount. A third of them could keep a small European country running for at least 10 or 8 years.
So much money was thrown into the bottomless pit of studying the principle of internal force, but he didn't even hear a sound. This really can't blame Dong Xuecheng for them, because at that time, no matter at the national level, private foundations or individuals, all those engaged in the study of internal force did not have any substantial progress except for individual marginal discoveries or inventions that were born, and internal force was still a mystery to people.
The research department is one of the most expensive expenses for the guild. Most of them were spent by Dong Xuecheng's team. Someone within the guild made up a joke about a new member who accidentally dropped his wallet through a crack in the elevator door to the twelfth basement floor of the building, and ventured down to the bottom of the building, where the research department was located, to find his wallet. But when you go down to the twelfth floor, you can see that my mother, where is the scientific research department of the guild, and on the twelfth basement floor of the building, there is a living Pixiu eating his wallet. There are four big words on the door of Pixiu's brain: scientific research center!
It's a sarcasm that the research department of the guild can eat all your money, but it won't even let you out a fart!
It is in this situation that after Zhang Fei took charge of the matter, her first task was to negotiate with Dong Xuecheng to reduce unnecessary scientific research projects.
In view of the fact that the scientific research department was indeed a bit generous in the past, Dong Xuecheng agreed to reduce projects and shrink expenditures.
But Zhang Fei then put forward the second point, she wants to determine the direction of research herself.
This is Dong Xuecheng's reverse scale. He argued with Zhang Fei on the basis of reason, took out the employment contract of the science and technology leader he signed with the association 20 years ago, and asked her to fulfill the third clause of the contract: the hired person Dong Xuecheng will determine the direction of scientific research by himself.
And Zhang Fei was not ambiguous, turned the contract back two pages, pointed to Article 31 and asked Dong Xuecheng, here it is agreed that in the case of sufficient funds, you must crack the principle of internal force generation within ten years of the contract signing, and find an effective way to improve internal force. Have you done this?
Dong Xuecheng was speechless! He could only allow Zhang Fei to redefine the research direction, and even the specific projects in it.
Since then, the relationship between the two has entered a state of business. Afterwards, Dong Xuecheng thought to himself, is he so old that when she is her father, she was suppressed by a little girl in her teens, so she was psychologically unbalanced? But then he overturned this assumption of his own, not because he had a problem, but because this little girl was really hateful!
But what he didn't expect was that in the second year after changing the direction of his research, he made an epoch-making discovery. He collaborated with other biologists to find the way in which internal forces work on the human body, and successfully set up an evaluation system for internal forces. Then his team continued to make various breakthroughs.
Therefore, his opinion of Zhang Fei is also a little better.
Now that he heard Zhang Fei begging for himself, he didn't deliberately make things difficult, work is work, and perception is perception, which he still understands very clearly.
"Tell me about it." He smiled and said to Zhang Fei.
"Qi Yunsheng's level has risen rapidly in recent years. Vice President Guo Songshan has been stationed abroad for a long time recently, and now none of the reliable masters in China can capture him again like he did in the past. And the matter is so secret, even if someone can reach this level, they can't take the liberty of letting anyone else participate in this project. However, now that the person surnamed Qi has been lured by others, and his entry into Beijing is imminent, and our new type of memory collector has been basically completed, the time and place are favorable to us, so I still decided to launch another experiment.
"That's what I thought, even if he can't be captured alive, then find a brave and witty girl to approach him, whether it's seductive or using true feelings, anyway, find an opportunity to install our new type of memory collector for him. Of course, the cover-up statement to the outside world is this: This is an experiment I conducted for my father's project, an experiment to verify the so-called murderous spirit. ”
After listening to Zhang Fei's arrangement, Dong Xuecheng thought for a while and said: "From the perspective of practical science, there is no big problem. This new type of memory collector is much more advanced than the previous model and does not require much more installation. Moreover, Qi Yunsheng has a lot of old memory collectors that we originally installed, although none of them work, but it is not that they cannot be reused. Let's carefully design it, use the principle of the new memory collector, and upgrade the existing old system.
"But don't you think this plan is too haphazard, too loose? There are too many possibilities for things to turn out in the future. Especially to find a girl who can play Infernal Affairs, how to ensure that she can complete the task safely and smoothly. ”
"There are many possibilities, but we can learn from every one of them. Isn't it? Besides, even if we fail, we have nothing to lose, so why not? It may also be that we will be lucky this time, and we will succeed in one fell swoop, and it is not known. ”
"It's been almost ten years! There are thousands of experimental case files against Qi Yunsheng, which can fill half a room. Before an experiment, you didn't say "If you are lucky, you will succeed in one fell swoop", but which one succeeded? ”
The two pondered silently for a while, and Zhang Fei stood up and said, "I'm leaving." Once you decide to proceed, you will work towards the best possible result. I believe that sooner or later it will be successful. ”
