At the scientific summary meeting at the end of the TPC headquarters, Masaki Keigo finally appeared again, as the head of the scientific review team, he just walked to the podium, more than a dozen scientists raised their hands to speak, Masaki Keigo snorted coldly, and then knocked on the table to signal everyone to speak in order.

"Keigo Masaki, I admit that you are a genius, your research on light, your research in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics, and your understanding of Max's power system are all top-notch, but you can't wait, compared to a powerful space mothership, the TPC system that has been established with great difficulty is obviously more important."

"Yes, Keigo Masaki, it's not that we don't want to build an aerospace carrier, but the construction of a mothership at this time is to provoke those branches of countries around the world that have just completed the reorganization, and we finally united those peaceful people to complete the reform, if it is because of the Max power system, once again provoked an arms race, everything will not go back."

"You can technically support Dr. Yao's research and construction, but it's too dangerous to further increase investment, so Keigo Masaki, think about it."

"First of all, I'm sorry for you to figure out one thing." Keigo Masaki tapped the table hard with his knuckles.

"Compromise is not peace, and peace has never meant not conducting weapons research, of course, with your simple thinking logic, I'm afraid you can't understand what I'm saying, but please think about it with your scientists' thinking, if science is bound by these messy things, then can science and technology really support mankind to go to the deep space of the universe?"

Keigo Masaki is actually very busy, and the problems that have arisen on the path to the light have not been solved until now, and he has not paid attention to the things inside the TPC for a long time.

He didn't think about asking Casto for help, but his subconscious told him that some roads had to be walked alone, and if he had to seek Casto's help in evolving into light, he might not be able to face the proud self in the mirror for the rest of his life.

Keigo Masaki took a deep breath, if it weren't for Max Power System, he wouldn't have come to any bullshit conference, he firmly believed that Max Power System was very important for the future of mankind, he glanced at the internationally renowned scientists sitting below, he knew that some of them had lost their scientific ideals as scientists, and they had completely transformed into the kind of politicians they used to hate the most in their previous actions to support Sawai to establish TPC.

Suddenly, a scientist who made Keigo Masaki feel a little familiar stood up, "Mr. Keigo Masaki, I want to know if you know that the establishment of the Max Power System will cause chaos in the world, but you have repeatedly insisted on building the Max Power System like this, because you actually did it on purpose,

Before the TPC was established, you never cared about our invitation, but now that peace has finally arrived, you have taken the initiative to join us, and you continue to point fingers at us on weapons-related matters, are you deliberately inciting humanity to return to the original state of war? ”

Keigo Masaki frowned and recalled the scientist's face, and then he remembered that this guy's name was Yuji Tango, the one who was kicked out by him for being late at the first meeting.

"A second-rate scientist like you is not worthy to tell me this, if you think that my support for Max Power Systems is to build weapons to bring humanity back to the past, then I can only say that the most powerful weapon in your mind is just a child for me Masaki Keigo, as long as I want, I can restore power that you can't even imagine in minutes."

"What power do you mean? What is the direction of the use of the lightwave equipment you are researching? There have been records of explosions and earthquakes in the vicinity of your company, do you conduct weapons-related research in private? Is this your own behavior, or is it between you and Castor behind you, the victory team, or even higher-ups? ”

Yuji Tango is obviously worried about the fact that Keigo Masaki looks down on him, and this meeting is obviously prepared for him, whether it is the company behind Keigo Masaki or Keigo Masaki's personal relationship, Yuji Tango has done a certain amount of investigation.

No, this shouldn't be the information he can get.

Masaki Keigo glanced at him, he was even a little surprised, this person called Tango Yuji, although he was disgusting him, but rarely, this guy actually aroused his interest a little, you must know that he is Masaki Keigo, ordinary people would not dare to talk to him like this.

This guy has some ambitions, but the means are too inferior, and it is obvious that this guy was used as a gun, Masaki Keigo shook his head, too lazy to say anything more to him.

The next day, rumors began to emerge about Keigo Masaki's private research on high-intensity weapons, and some negative news began to circulate about his attempt to seize power.

Keigo Masaki knew why, and the group of scientists who had formed the school group was pressuring him to try to keep his head down.

Some oppose it for the sake of science, while others oppose it just to prove their strength.

But Keigo Masaki knew that the more times like this, the more he would not be able to retreat, and once he retreated, the pressure would rush to Casor and the others.

He will never shirk the responsibility he has to shoulder to others.

He was proud of everything he had, but also proud of the pride itself, and he didn't want to, and couldn't change it.

In fact, Sawai and others also expected that there would be small groups among scientists, and as long as there were people, there would be groups, not to mention that these people felt that they had contributed to the establishment of TPC, and they felt that their current status was not worthy of their contribution to the establishment of TPC.

Sawai and the others had already thought that as long as Masaki Keigo spoke, they would be able to take advantage of the situation to break these small groups one by one through an executive order, but unexpectedly but reasonably, Masaki Keigo did nothing, just endured the attacks of those small groups on him.

Because the attack has not been further expanded, it can only be seen as a rumor among scientists, and in the face of this situation, Sawai can only let the people from the intelligence bureau control public opinion and let these news not be over-fermented.

On the other hand, Daiko didn't go to him because Keigo Masaki returned to TPC, he didn't even notice that Keigo Masaki came to TPC, he had been privately investigating the matter of the Max Power System testing machine that night.

Ever since he discovered that there was light in the fibers of the testing machine's Max Power System that night, he had paid careful attention to everyone who approached the testing machine, and he had noticed that many people had tried to pass by, or even get in and out of, the testing machine.

At the same time, he hacked into the database of the testing machine, and then he was surprised to find that there was a large amount of start-up data in the database of the testing machine that was not recorded.

The light in the optical fiber that Dagu saw that night was actually the trace of the activation of Max's power system.

Max Power System, in fact, is a special engine made by using the annihilation effect at the atomic level, in fact, a few years ago, this was only an engine with only theoretical possibilities in science fiction, of course, this engine has a more popular name in science fiction - antimatter engine.

Before Dr. Yao built the Max power system, the antimatter engine was a theoretical engine that had been proposed for a long time.

As the name suggests, antimatter engines are capable of using antimatter to propel spacecraft with extremely high specific impulse and thrust-to-weight ratios, and antimatter-fueled spacecraft are also seen as highly efficient tools for interstellar transportation of mechanical energy in the future.

One of the advantages of using an antimatter engine is that the annihilation of antimatter can be generated spontaneously and does not require many conditions like a nuclear reaction in a nuclear engine, so there is no need for a large reactor, which can reduce the weight of the ship.

The by-product of the annihilation of the entire antimatter engine is only the powerful light that fills the engine for a moment.

However, there are still many difficulties to overcome if we want to turn our ideals into reality.

The first is that it consumes too much energy to make it, because there is no other way to make antimatter, so the only way to do this is to reverse the annihilation process and use a particle accelerator to create antimatter from energy according to Einstein's mass-energy conversion formula.

For this reason, before that, the world could only produce 10 billionths of a gram of antimatter per year, which was not enough to heat a cup of coffee.

Another obstacle is storage, because antimatter will annihilate and explode as soon as it encounters positive matter, so we can't use any container made of positive matter to store it, and these antimatter elementary particles are stored through magnetic fields.

The most commonly used is the ultra-cold vacuum Penning trap, a portable antiproton storage device that uses superimposed electromagnetic fields to store protons, but positrons are difficult to store in this way.

Even TPC's database has tens of thousands of design ideas for antimatter engines.

But the only one that has actually produced research results is Dr. Yao's Max power system.

Although Dr. Yao made his research public, it was only a non-public disclosure, and the core of the design, the really crucial details, were actually all hidden.

It's as if the whole world knows how to make an atomic bomb, but not many countries can actually make it.

In addition to Dr. Yao, the only people in the world who have truly mastered all the design ideas of the Max power system are Director Tomamura of the Science Bureau who is in charge of the Shengyue Feiyan system, Keigo Masaki of the scientific review team, and a few scientists who used to be affiliated with the Space Development Agency.

The rest are either people like Sawai who have permission but can't understand design ideas, or people like Dr. Mizuno who can understand but can only read core materials in related fields such as electromagnetism.

And after constantly flipping through the records and observing for several days, Dagu felt as if he had discovered the truth, although his mouth was very hot, but in fact, everyone was full of interest in the Max power system, and even those scientists who said that they were against it, came to the hangar more than once to try to study the whole picture of the Max power system in the name of inspection.

Dr. Yao, who is the project leader, does not mean to stop them, on the contrary, he seems to prefer that these people can actually come to see what Max's power system is like, and he hopes that such behavior will change the bias of others.

As for security, unfortunately, the security in the TPC hangar is weaker than expected, in fact, it cannot be said to be weak, for scientists, the hangar can easily be opened, but for the security personnel, the hangar does not allow them to get too close to the equipment.

After observing for a few days, Dagu felt that he had understood that some of these people were out of curiosity, some were afraid, and some simply wanted to master this technique.

It's just that Dagu didn't know if he should report this matter, but after a few days of observation, he did know why these people were able to sneak up on and activate the testing machine without being discovered by others.

Because the cross-authority of these scientists is able to override all the relevant hangar-related permissions, some people have changed the night surveillance, some have shared the password to enter and exit at night, and everyone pretends not to know about each other, but in essence covers up others.

Dagu felt that although these crooked scientists were very smart in scientific research, they were very poor in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities, and they were not at the same level as people like himself who had really received professional training.

Of course, in fact, ordinary people can't find out what happened on the testing machine, and ordinary people don't even know that the test machine will leave light in the optical fiber when it is started, but it just so happens that Dagu is the one who has reconnaissance ability and can understand that the testing machine has been started.

A group of thieves who are secretly trying to control the most cutting-edge technology of humanity? Dagu felt as if he had discovered the truth of the matter.

Then, he secretly told Mr. Casto and Captain Megumi about it.

In the next few days, Dagu found that the security of the hangar at night was tighter, and although the security personnel still did not allow him to get close to the experimental equipment, there was no trace of the system being secretly opened.

Dagu's mind relaxed a little, and then he finally found out, I don't know when, there began to be negative public opinion about Masaki Keigo within TPC, and when he investigated, he actually found that these public opinions happened to come from those scientist groups.

After thinking about it, Dagu felt that there was really no good way for him to do this kind of thing, and then he decided to go to Casor again.

If you're undecided, go to Casto!
