Two hours later.

"That's all for today's meeting, let's adjourn." On the main seat of the conference table, Chang Weisi took off the simultaneous translation equipment next to his ear.

Many scholars and government workers in the conference room got up one after another, and then left their seats one after another.

Cao Ge, who was sitting at the end of the conference seat and only had ears, looked at the people who had left the table, and then walked out with him, preparing to go home.

In the past two days, the police have looked for him several times just for the matter of scientific boundaries, and he has not done anything of his own.

Although he has the task of changing the fate of human civilization, it is still very early, and there is nothing to do.

The matter about ETO still needs to be investigated by Shi Qiang himself, and he is not good at participating too much.

He does want to gain a certain amount of international attention after the Guzheng operation, but this attention must not come at the cost of his own life.

Luo Ji did because of those two axioms, and then ascended to the sky after the wall plan, but he was also in the ETO assassination activities every day, and later because of the assassination, he suffered from a genetic disease that had to hibernate and go to the future to be treated, which is not the life that Cao Ge wants.

The world has not yet entered an era of crisis, at least not yet.

Cao Ge wants to live in his own way, because the technology of this era is still extremely backward, even if he has ideas, he can't realize them, so the foundation of reality is destined to do some accumulated work.

If this is the case, then of course the farther away from ETO, the better.

He only needs to keep in touch with the government, not too deeply, but he can't cut off the contact, and this kind of state of immediacy is the best way to get along.

Now he can't help the government, and the government can't help him.

"Think about the time, there should be a reply." Cao Ge thought so in his heart.

At the meeting just now, the heads of several major theaters around the world communicated about the current serious international situation, and the number of scientists dying by suicide is still rising, so they are ready to increase the intensity of protection.

But Cao Ge didn't listen the whole time, but was thinking about his own business, he didn't think about anything else, it was the email he sent to Apple.

It's been three days since today, and it's time to start replying.

Cao Ge's guess is right, and at this moment, the top management of Apple is having a heated discussion about Cao Ge's email.

Yesterday was the day when Apple handled the user's email in a unified manner, and after Cao Ge's email was opened, because of its particularity, Apple's customer service did not reply without authorization, but reported to the manager of the customer service team, and the manager of the customer service department transferred it to the manager of the R&D department after reading the content of the email.

After a few cursory glances, the manager of the R&D department found the great value contained in it, and then summoned the employees of the entire R&D department to test it all morning, and finally came to the conclusion that this is an extremely complete intelligent voice assistant, and most of the operations of the mobile phone can be relied on to complete.

After coming to a conclusion, the manager of the R&D department attached a letter of his own suggestion, and then reported it to the mobile phone department along with Cao Ge's email, and then reported it all the way, and finally handed it over to Steve Jobs, the head of Apple.

After reading the test report of the R&D department, Jobs immediately held a meeting of the company's senior management, discussed it until the early hours of the morning, and finally decided to reply to him after going to work today, and sent the company's senior management to China today to fly to China to discuss the acquisition with him.

However, Cao Ge didn't know about these things, he was just thinking about why his email hadn't been answered yet.

"Brother Cao, wait." Just as Cao Ge was about to walk into the elevator with his bag, Dashi rushed over from the corner of the corridor and stopped him.

"Officer Shi, are you okay?" Cao Ge stopped, turned his head to look at Dashi who was trotting over in the corridor and said.

Da Shi glanced at the crowded people in the elevator, and after the elevator door slowly closed, he looked at Cao Ge and said: "Brother Cao, that's the case, our leader wants you to take on the position of a scientific advisor in our combat center, so that it will be convenient for us to deal with, you see." ”

"Scientific advisor, what do you do?" Cao Ge frowned, then looked at Dashi and asked.

Dashi glanced at Cao Ge, paused and said: "There is no need to do anything, that is, when we encounter some scientific problems, you come to give us staff officers, what you should do in normal times, we will not interfere in your daily life, but we will not lose any of our salaries." ”

"How is it, is Brother Cao interested?"

"So, can I go back and think about it and give you an answer?" Cao Ge thought seriously for a while, and then said.

Dashi was stunned for a moment, but still said kindly: "Yes, you have thought about it, just make this call." ”

Cao Ge took the piece of paper handed over by Dashi, looked at it, and then put it in his pocket.

"Okay, I'll call you when I figure it out, then I'll leave first."

"I'll send you." Dashi said, and pressed the elevator door in advance.

In this way, Dashi sent Cao Ge to the door of the combat center.

"Okay, Officer Shi, you can go back." Cao Ge waved his hand at Dashi and said.

"Okay, you go slowly." Dashi smiled, then turned around and walked into the combat center again.

……………………

By the time I left the combat center, it was already noon.

Cao Ge glanced at the big sun overhead, then followed the road he had come in, walked towards the main road outside, and then took a car and went home.

Had a quick bite to eat at a restaurant not far from the rental house, and then went back to the rental house.

"Bang!" Closing the door, Cao Ge took off the satchel on his waist, hung it behind the wooden door, and then came to the computer and pressed the boot button.

Cao Ge looked at the Microsoft logo that appeared on the black computer screen, and he remembered the email he sent to Apple a few days ago.

After a while, the computer turned on successfully.

Cao Ge logged into his mailbox non-stop, and then opened his inbox, but it was empty.

Cao Ge was a little frustrated, and began to wonder if his email had been seen by Apple's senior management and whether it would be lost.

Whether his future plan can be realized depends on whether this first pot of gold can be put in place.

If the first payment can't be paid, then he has to think of something else.

The reason why he values this first pass so much is because it is not only related to whether his follow-up plan can be realized, but also related to his quality of life in the future.

The plan to deal with the Trisolarans can't be realized, and Luo Ji and others give him a backdrop, so he can't live a good life with left and right.

Just when Cao Ge was struggling with whether he had chosen the wrong target, a "Ding Dong!" suddenly came from the computer's stereo. Sound.

Cao Ge immediately moved the mouse and opened the email, only to find that it was an email from Apple.
