I Can Meet with Dead Scientists-Chapter 336 - 195 Unexpected Direction

As everyone knows.

There are 24 hours in a day.

There are 60 minutes in an hour.

Thus, there are 24x60=1440 minutes in a day.

In many people's eyes, the number 1440 might represent the countdown to slacking off each day, or each second the clock ticks away at their lifespan.

But in others' eyes.

This makes up the 1,440 minutes of a day, yet they can come up with entirely different tricks to play.

For instance, there's a self-initiated enthusiast group abroad called 'EMOTIA,' which has launched a crowdfunding project by collecting various data.

On the homepage of this project, you can check all the historical events that occurred at any given minute, as long as there's credible evidence.

For example, the goddess Audrey Hepburn was born at 19:43 on May 4th, 1929 (Greenwich Mean Time).

Or on March 2nd, 1962, at 21:29, Chamberlain scored 100 points, the highest in NBA history, and so on.

They even have records of when a famous AV actress released her first video, and the number grows astonishingly every day.

This is quite an interesting idea.

Because other projects of a similar nature mostly unfold based on 'days,' i.e., what happened on which month and which day in history.

Global precision down to the 'minute' belongs to this sole entity.

Of course.

EMOTIA also stratifies the types of information, and only events of significant impact are included.

For instance, Xu Yun tried to email the project team when his new book was released in a previous life, but unfortunately, it wasn't accepted.

But another writer's new book, however, was documented the day after its release.

And in these 1,440 minutes.

Greenwich Mean Time 21:02, which is also 4:02 AM Yanjing Time, isn't a particularly special node.

If we have to say it.

It was at this time, on May 25th, 17 years ago, that Liverpool star Xabi Alonso ran to the front of the goal at Ataturk Olympic Stadium and scored with a rebound penalty.

This goal tied the game 3-3 against AC Milan, directly leading to the creation of the Milan Fans Protection Association.

But after today.

This time point's record will probably include another major event.

December 4th, 4:02 AM.

On a certain social media abroad.

Seven Old Imperial Universities in Neon simultaneously issued a statement.

They claimed that the campus management service provider STW had received an unprecedentedly strong attack, causing the campus network to be in a paralyzed state until today.

This is a vile, despicable, shameless act, an insult to the sanctity of knowledge.

And released along with this news were screenshots of Korean banners on the homepages of each of the seven Old Imperial Universities.

Actually.

Kyoto University, better than anyone, knew that the attacks their website suffered had nothing to do with Korea, and it was entirely a retaliation from Ke Da.

But the problem is...

They have no evidence...

Ke Da... or rather Huaxia doesn't behave as shamelessly as Kyoto University, thinking about stealing data while attacking; it was a thorough counterattack from start to finish.

Therefore, Kyoto University couldn't find any evidence to prove that the attack was initiated by Huaxia, so they had to play dumb willingly.

On the contrary.

With the release of the Korean announcement, public sentiments between Neon and Korea were suddenly stirred up.

After all, any country's public opinion arena is the same, populated by many mindless individuals.

For instance, that Guo Certain back then.

It was obviously a plastic surgery influencer who got into trouble, but the singer of "No Fear" ended up being the one cyber-bullied.

And Dolce & Gabbana back then.

This brand's full name is Dolce & Gabbana, but people call it DG for convenience.

After the insult incident broke out, another local store called DG was reported until it closed...

Indeed.

Whether it's Neon or Korea.

There are also some normal people who can detect certain anomalies.

However, when emotions are aroused, reason often becomes powerless.

Therefore, not long after the incident broke out, a huge debate erupted between Neon and Korea.

"ばか!"

"Ugly face!"

"Western eight!"

"내일너희엄마가환불해줄게!"

"Stop chattering, let's go watch something enter unscientifically..."

This wasn't the first time Neon and Korea had such a spat, with long-standing issues like the Takeshima territorial dispute, and more recently, trade frictions. No wonder they are considered eternal enemies.

And since there's no wall blocking them, their squabbles are much fiercer than ours.

While the dogs fight abroad.

The local public opinion isn't idle either.

December 4th, 4:25 AM.

USTC and National Science University simultaneously released statements, stating that their academic networks had suffered atrocious, inhumane cyber-attacks.

They also published a large batch of traced IP addresses, mainly coming from Neon and Sydney.

Almost within just a few minutes.

These two pieces of news simultaneously climbed to the bottom of their respective social media trending lists.

And just before the statement was issued.

After staying up all night, Xu Yun left the company, rubbed his eyes, went home, and fell asleep immediately.

Actually.

His original intention was just to cry foul, allowing our external affairs departments to have some initiative, at least preventing anyone from putting labels on them.

But what he didn't expect was...

The subsequent development of the incident went far beyond his expectations.
