MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 200 wheel of the times

Bald Eagle Country, Onix International Joint Research Institute.

"It's too loud," a young researcher said in a slightly indignant tone. "It's going to swallow us whole!"

"Actually speaking, they are very sincere," an older researcher shook his head and retorted, "Scientific research and capital are inseparable. I have met many investors, and their request is not Not too much."

"And, even if it's really too much, so what? People have this confidence," said a scientific researcher from the Bald Eagle Country sitting next to the young researcher, "you know, that's 'Eric Mei' Easy Energy Group!"

"The experts in the negotiation are still waiting next door," the director of the Ernest International Institute interrupted everyone's discussion, "We don't have time to do some senseless emotion."

The director of the institute said with a serious face: "We must make a decision quickly - whether to accept the investment of Eric Meiyi Energy Group, or whether to accept the additional restrictions of Eric Meiyi?"

Just yesterday, when their Ernest International Joint Research Institute and Lu Yanchi jointly signed the paper, that is, the simple introduction to Lingshi Energy, after it was published on the arxiv website, Eric Meiyi Energy Group’s People, contacted their research institute immediately.

Since then, in fact, other people in the fields of energy, scientific research, and even political circles have sent representatives to test the wind. However, although the rest of the people also have prominent positions and backgrounds, they are definitely not as good as Eric Meiyi Energy Group. The behemoths; and their attitude is not comparable to the eagerness of the person in charge sent by Eric Meiyi.

According to the request of the representatives of Eric Meiyi Group, they must reply by 12:00 noon today.

"...Eric Meiyi Group has great sincerity," the representative's language clearly did not contain any threatening words, but it gave people a creepy feeling, "I hope you will not disappoint this sincerity."

"It's a huge investment," a researcher in the conference room couldn't help sighing, fiddling with the draft agreement in front of him, "I personally tend to agree—research costs money, and it's such a big deal. , Why not accept such a generous customer?"

As he said, although the representative of Eric Meiyi is suspected of being a threat, their agreement is actually quite sincere and generous:

To cooperate in the development of new energy, the investment in units of "100 million US dollars" requires a stake in the Ernest International Joint Research Institute, and the subsequent buyout of the related patent rights of Lingshi Energy.

Even, according to the potential meaning of the representative, it can be discussed whether this kind of patent right is bought out or divided.

"Of course this agreement is not bad," the director of the Ernest Institute smiled bitterly, and also picked up the draft agreement in front of him, "but..."

"However," the director of the institute sighed helplessly, "the core technology of Lingshi Energy is not in the hands of our institute."

"The outside world doesn't know," the director turned over the terms of the agreement in his hand, and his tone couldn't hide his loss, "don't we also know?"

He was right.

Although the paper on what has now been vaguely called "the horn of new energy in the new era" was jointly signed by Lu Yanchi and their institute.

But the fact is that their research institute did not play much role in the writing and deduction of a new paper on Lingshi Energy. At most, they provided some of their previous internal experimental data, eliminating some repeated experimental processes. That's it.

"Let's talk about it," the director of the institute spread his hands with the agreement document, "it sounds like some excuse, but it's really our truth!"

"Then..." The bald eagle researcher who spoke was holding the draft of the high-value investment agreement in his hand, with a reluctant look on his face, "Then what about this investment?"

"...Sign!" The director of the research institute gritted his teeth and said, "Sign it! Such a good opportunity cannot be missed!"

"But we don't have the core technology of Lingshi Energy?" The young researcher was a little dumbfounded and didn't know why the director's words were inconsistent, "We actually only have this outline paper, and we don't know the specific details. is it okay?"

"What are you afraid of?" The director of the research institute calmed down and analyzed, "Lu Yan can study it late, can't we study it?"

"Not to mention, there are all the ideas and relevant research data," the director of the institute thought of the paper they jointly signed and published, as well as the thick information about the properties of spirit stones accumulated in their institute. Confidence immediately rose from the experimental data, "Are you afraid that you can't find a specific research method?"

"Speaking of which—by the way, Dr. Ni," the director of the institute turned to Ni Qingzhou, who had been silent, "Is it possible for you to get some internal information from Mr. Lu Yanchi?"

"It's difficult," Ni Qingzhou tried to keep his expression calm, "When I discussed with Mr. Lu Yanchi, we had a special discussion about follow-up research and patent rights."

"Mr. Lu Yanchi told me at that time," Ni Qingzhou said, and even believed his own words, "Follow-up research and patent rights may involve some state secrets, so it is better to cut them clearly in advance."

"He actually avoided me on purpose," Ni Qingzhou said nonsense with his eyes open, "I also avoided relevant questions in order to avoid suspicion. If I ask again now, the traces are too obvious."

"What about the research ideas?" the director of the institute asked, "Is there any research ideas?"

"When I left China," Ni Qingzhou buried the details of his discussions with Lu Yanchi about the technological development of energy revolution, and said lightly, "Mr. Lu Yanchi's research is all about It hasn’t started yet, so let’s not talk about research ideas.”

"Later," said this, Ni Qingzhou squeezed out a wry smile on his face - this wry smile really came from the heart, he really did not expect Lu Yanchi's ability to be so powerful, "Mr. Lu Yanchi is experimenting himself. After working hard in the room for a day, I sorted out the relevant logic of Lingshi energy alone..."

Ni Qingzhou couldn't help shaking his head, and he really couldn't help sighing: "How could his work speed and efficiency give me the opportunity to spy on the details?"

"Mr. Lu Yanchi's efficiency is really high," the researcher sitting next to Ni Qingzhou said in a tone of admiration and jealousy, "He relies on his spiritual ability. It is not rumored that his ability Is it the [Spiritual Flash] that appears very rarely in the [Riddle Chain] dungeon?"

They are all scientific researchers, and they are well aware of the difficulty of some problems. Eating a lemon is nothing. For the crazy speed of this kind of research, even Ni Qingzhou wants to eat lemons, let alone others.

"[Spiritual Flash] This ability is indeed an artifact," a researcher who had cleared the [Riddle Chain] dungeon replied unconvinced, "but other mental abilities are not bad! For example, my [Deduction Wan] Qian], if you use it well, you won’t lose to him.”

In the [Riddle Link] dungeon, the frequency of the [Deduction Thousands] rewards is quite high, and it is quite suitable to be used in the field of scientific research. As far as Ni Qingzhou knows, many scientific research scholars exchange rewards for [Deduction Thousands of], and even the He himself is like that.

[Skills - Thousands of Deductions: Countless possible evolutions can be deduced based on known situations. ]

[Remarks: Mental strength is consumed during calculation. The longer the calculation time is, the more mental power is consumed, and the more accurate the calculation is; the more known situations, the less mental power is consumed, and the more accurate the calculation is. ]

[Thousands of Deductions] is like a low-profile version of [Inspiration], but it is a very useful ability as a whole.

"That's right," the director of the institute encouraged after hearing the researcher's unconvincing words, "there are so many researchers in our institute now, all of whom have cleared the level of the [Riddle Link] dungeon, and all have the ability of mental intelligence. , how could it be possible to lose to Lu Yanchi alone?"

"Yes," these words aroused everyone's approval, "Isn't it a scientific research competition? Who is afraid of whom?"

"I'm also an extraordinary person in the spiritual system," someone was obviously dissatisfied, "I don't think the gap can be that big."

"Then sign this agreement," the director of the research institute put down the draft agreement that he had read three or four times in his hand - especially the investment amount column, which he read no less than a dozen times. "We immediately began to study the production methods of Lingshi new energy."

"Wait a minute..." A researcher raised an objection, "Eric Meiyi is the big oligarch and chaebol of the old era of energy. Will he really support us to develop new energy in the new era?"

"Then you know too little about Eric Meiyi Group," said the director of the institute a little disapprovingly, "I have checked, they spend a lot of money on new energy investment every year, various There are their shadows behind the new energy vehicles."

"Anyway, it won't be a problem," the director of the institute said bluntly. "I looked at the agreement carefully, and it's quite friendly. I want to replace the buyout of the patent rights with the money, and the representative also said that it could be considered. It's negotiable—it's really sincere."

"Then sign it," everyone echoed the opinion of the director of the research institute, "It's a huge investment."

"With this investment, maybe we can buy more instruments. I've been wanting to buy a new SEM for a long time, and the one we have now is faulty and can't be used."

"There are also experimental consumables. If one day I can not care about the experimental consumables that are wasted every day..."

In the crowd, the director of the institute said ambitiously:

"If that's the case, then we'll continue wrangling with that representative."

Saying that, he laughed:

"New energy... Hey, looking at it this way, the new era is destined to have our name!"

-----------------------------

"Fortunately," In Solomon Atwood's office, the reporter handed over the letter of intent for the draft agreement that was quickly signed within half a day, "I have successfully dealt with the Ernest International Joint Institute, and they signed an investment agreement."

"The new energy patents applied for by their research institutes will be handled by us in the future," said here, the reporter asked humbly, "Look, what should we do next?"

"One word, drag." Solomon Atwood replied, with a hint of coldness in his tone, "As much as possible. Urge Ernest Labs to invent inventions, seize patents first, and kill the way to spiritual stone energy. , and then..."

He smiled, and his smile was elegant and easy-going: "Then, delay the rhythm of its real promotion to the society."

"The era of new energy can come, but it should never come so soon," Solomon Atwood slowed down, "The transformation of old industries takes time. If new energy is applied to society in such a short time, then My net worth will shrink by at least a few tenths..."

His tone cooled down: "And Eric Meiyi Energy Group will also be destroyed."

Solomon Atwood, with his well-maintained hand, picked up the document agreement that was placed in front of him, and browsed page by page slowly, with obvious hints in his tone: "You know, how different it will be. Great fortune?"

"Understood, understood," the reporter nodded desperately, "I will never let such a thing happen."

Figuring out what one wants is a must-have skill for every subordinate, and the reporter's skill points in this area are full.

"I have reached an agreement with some international 'allies'," Solomon Atwood instructed. "All news of new energy will be suppressed by public opinion. The main reason is that the development of technology is not mature, evolution Factors are new things that may have certain hazards, and so on. In this regard, someone will take the lead in dealing with it. You should pay attention to letting the people from the Ernest Institute publish the same words, understand?"

"Understood," the reporter replied with great certainty. "Once the investment agreement is reached, we will take a stake in the Ernest Institute, and I am sure to control their external expressions."

"Very good," Solomon Atwood nodded approvingly, "Those international 'allies' will also help us put pressure on all new energy users, making sure that the entire process of new energy circulation becomes difficult. , you will act on your own when the time comes, and pay attention to cooperation."

"Wait until the Eric Meiyi Group successfully transforms," ​​Solomon Atwood put down the signed letter of intent on the draft agreement, and slightly curled the corner of his mouth, "Wait until we successfully enter a new era, the credit will be due to you. "

"Yes!" The reporter gave another 125-degree bow, "We will definitely succeed!"

The reporter stepped back again.

In the office where only himself and his bodyguard were left, Solomon Atwood picked up a cigar. He didn't light it - it wasn't time for him to enjoy the cigar - just put the cigar in his hand and played with it.

Eric Meiyi Energy Group is already a huge behemoth in the world; and the history of the Atwood family he belongs to is longer than that of the entire Eric Meiyi Energy Group; it is even more magnified that the Atwood family is behind it. The group represented has a longer history and stronger influence.

From a long time ago, they have the power to shock the world with their random actions. They call the wind and rain on Wall Street. They set off economic crises again and again. The economy has fattened itself up time and time again.

Their birth is a starting point that many people can't think of. Countless elites have tried their best, squeezing their heads, just wanting to serve them, just to kneel and lick their feet.

This world is their world, and they are born noble.

However, every time the world changes, it is a period of turmoil for their group. Some people fell and fell into the quagmire since then, and could never stand up again; while some people took advantage of the situation and climbed to the clouds, from then on, they became rich, glorious and noble.

The Atwood family arose in the early days of World War I, the first industrial revolution.

Along the way, this family has seen countless clouds and clouds. They have seen people who did not keep up with the times, fell during the second industrial revolution, which is the electrical revolution, and fell into the abyss since then; they have also seen Someone tried to go against the wheel of the times and was crushed to pieces.

The Atwood family has been fortunate to have survived one critical change node after another, from the first industrial revolution to the electrical revolution to the information age.

Now, they have a firm grip on the bottom line of energy. Especially since Eric Meiyi Energy Group became the world's No. 1 energy group, the Atwood family has enjoyed a leisurely life.

However, once again the times have changed, and it will come again.

Solomon Atwood put down the cigar in his hand and picked up the letter of intent for the cooperation agreement with the Ernest International Joint Research Institute.

A lesson from the past, a teacher of the future. In this test of the times, he will not let the Atwood family fall behind the times, and he will surely survive this new era of change.

The new energy era can come, but it must come slowly under their control.

And they, in this process, will always enjoy wealth and glory, and always be on top.

-----------------------------

Huaguo, Great Northwest, Yongliang City Base.

"Latest information," Nie Zhibo, deputy director of the Intelligence Department of the Transcendent Affairs Bureau, sat down opposite Lu Yanchi and dropped a stack of paper documents, "Eric Meiyi Energy Group has learned about Lingshi Energy. "

"Furthermore," Nie Zhibo pointed at the stack of paper documents, his face was not good-looking, "The Ernest International Institute and Eric Meiyi Group have signed an agreement to devote all their efforts to the research and development of new energy. Here is the draft agreement. Letter of Intent."

"Also," Nie Zhibo snorted, "the news from Dr. Ni Qingzhou, he hopes the state can protect him and return to the country, he is now in the Ernest International Joint Research Institute, and someone is monitoring him. "

Lu Yanchi slowly picked up the paper document in front of him, his face darkened.

"You didn't think carefully," Nie Zhibo sighed at Lu Yan, "New energy, it's a big deal that can't be overly cautious."

"Some data, even if you start from scratch and accumulate it yourself," Nie Zhibo's kiss carried a slight complaint, "you shouldn't involve the Ernest International Institute and Dr. Ni Qingzhou..."

Lu Yanchi turned the paper documents page by page.

"Science has no borders, but scientists have borders," Nie Zhibo said meaningfully in the silence of the room. "You should know this very well."

"...Sorry, hard work," Lu Yanchi sighed and apologized sincerely, "It's true that I didn't think carefully. At that time, I was only concerned with inventing this new energy quickly, but I didn't think about it. many…"

"Hey," said Lu Yanchi with a sigh, "At that time, after watching Jiuqu's "The Transcendent Age: Mountain of Fire", I suddenly realized Jiuqu's suggestion. At that time, I was circling in my mind. The only idea I had was to quickly get this inspiration out, so as not to forget it when it was outdated, all other ideas were thrown aside by me at that time..."

"The scientific research environment during this period was also very good," Lu Yanchi complained while flipping through the intelligence documents in his hand, "especially during the time when the "Master of Creation" video was played and the end of the day was dangerous, and the third Three world wars and the beginning of the global evolutionary era engineering."

"This environment is really beautiful. All inspirations are agitated regardless of national borders. There are countless papers emerging from various emerging technologies and emerging fields," Lu Yanchi honestly admitted. , "I was a little bit fascinated by this beautiful environment."

"What about now?" Nie Zhibo looked at him helplessly. After living together in Yongliang City for so long, these high-level executives of the Transcendent Affairs Bureau, who were not too different in age and who were also exceptionally promoted, are already very familiar friends. Therefore, Nie Zhibo's tone had a kind of hatred for iron not turning into steel, "Are you awake?"

"Sober up." Lu Yanchi smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, now that the Lingshi energy project has been officially approved and has been upgraded to the country's high level of confidentiality, then I will be careful next time."

"It's good to know." Nie Zhibo unceremoniously glanced at Lu Yanchi before entering the topic.

"How much spiritual stone energy technology does the Ernest International Joint Research Institute possibly possess?" application solution?"

"...I don't know," Lu Yanchi said, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "In the original era, I might be able to predict the results of this kind of scientific research competition, but now the [Riddle Link] copy is completely open, and the spiritual department Researchers in the Department of Intelligence are everywhere,

As long as there is a suitable direction and enough data to accumulate..."

Lu Yanchi couldn't help sighing, and sincerely regretted: "No one can tell how fast the development of science and technology can go."

"As for the Ernest International Joint Research Institute," Lu Yanchi said helplessly, "whether it is the research direction or the accumulation of research data, they are all in short supply."

"Is that so..." Hearing this, Nie Zhibo couldn't help frowning.

"In terms of direction, they have the jointly signed paper, and the direction inside is still very clear;" Lu Yanchen honestly analyzed, "In terms of data, my research data comes from their internal data, and their data only has more Abundance will not become more scarce.”

"So what are your thoughts?" Nie Zhibo asked thoughtfully, "What do you think we should do next?"

"What's next?" Having said this, Lu Yanchi's expression also calmed down, "My suggestion is, we just do our best to be ourselves."

"Why do you say that?" Nie Zhibo was obviously a little surprised by this answer.

"I shouldn't have published the co-signed new paper on Lingshi Energy in return for the data from the Ernest Institute," Lu Yanchi replied, "but now that this paper is published, everyone has it. The direction of new energy research. Maybe we can run faster with the Ernest Institute, but it doesn't hurt. After all, in this era, there are copies of [Riddle Links] and various spiritual abilities that can be cheated..."

"That is to say," Nie Zhibo reacted, "Even if we do some tricks on the Ernest Research Institute and hinder their development, it will not hinder the development of other research institutes, right?"

"That's right, that's what I meant." From the intelligence field to the scientific research field, Lu Yanchi's state is obviously different to the naked eye, "We have run a few more steps now, as long as we maintain this advantage, squatting Patents, good layout, the people behind can only eat the ashes of our ass."

"I understand what you mean," Nie Zhibo nodded thoughtfully, "Since the incident has already happened, we must do the best we can on the basis of this incident."

"That's right, don't look at the fact that I have deduced the preliminary theory of spirit stone energy," Lu Yanchi shrugged, "Actually, there is still a lot to do!"

He began to count his fingers: "Simplify and upgrade the current structural engineering design drawings, start to try to build the Lingshi energy demonstration reactor, and strive to overcome many problems in the process of establishing the demonstration team, etc. These are all urgent matters. ."

"Although the theoretical problems have been solved by me," Lu Yanchi said sincerely, "there is still a long way to go. Every technology from theory to reality is destined to encounter many problems."

"Next, I need to mobilize all the researchers with spiritual power in our scientific research department to tackle key problems together. This kind of scientific research beyond the times is in a state of competition and needs the assistance of extraordinary abilities. "Lu Yanchi pondered and listed what he would do in the future. "No, no, it can't be limited to our scientific research department... Well, I need scientific research experts in energy-related fields across the country to work together."

"I still need to build a demonstration pile," Lu Yanchi simply picked up the paper and pen, sat down and wrote, "This demonstration pile can't be too close to the base, it must be kept at a safe distance, so as not to cause any problems. problem; but not too far, so that confidentiality measures are guaranteed..."

"Okay," Nie Zhibo smiled upon hearing this. Lu Yanchi had already fully devoted himself to his own field and could not care about him. "The work in the field of intelligence belongs to me, and the work in the field of scientific research belongs to you."

"We each do our best in our respective fields," Nie Zhibo also began to think about what he would do next, but unlike Lu Yanchi, his plan must not be revealed, "It's enough to have a clear conscience. ."

While the two were talking, their phones vibrated.

"Ding dong."

[The UP master "Jiuqu" you follow has updated the video "The Extraordinary Times"]

"It's 7:00?" Nie Zhibo raised his hand and looked at his watch, and it was indeed the standard time of the Huaguo News Network. "Hey, let's watch the video of Jiuqu together?"

"Of course I will!" Lu Yan chirped and agreed, "Jiuqu's video is full of deep meaning, and you can't miss every episode."

"Maybe," Lu Yan laughed late, "this new video can also inspire me!"

"Hey, I heard what you said." Contrary to Lu Yanchi's smile, Nie Zhibo's face pulled down, "I don't know whether I should be happy or unhappy."

"What's wrong?" Lu Yanchi looked at him in confusion.

"Because of your inspiration for this new spirit stone energy," Nie Zhibo complained, "My workload has more than tripled in one breath, and recently Guoan will send people to directly intervene in our base to be responsible for some security work. Saying that we are inexperienced and not reliable enough in this regard…”

Nie Zhibo sighed, "Ah, how annoying!"

"It's hard work, hard work." Lu Yan said that it was hard work, but he didn't stop in his hands. He pulled out his PAD - in order to watch Jiuqu videos more conveniently, most people now have the habit of keeping a PAD.

After setting up the PAD, Lu Yanchi turned to Nie Zhibo and invited him, "Come and watch?"

"Come on," Nie Zhibo changed into a more comfortable posture, and watched the video with a certain scholar, "Jinmu, Water, Fire, Earth, I guess it should be the earth attribute today, right? I don't know what the video is about. What about farming, or what about soil research?"

Completely different from what Nie Zhibo had guessed, the title of the video this time was actually called:

"The Extraordinary Age: The Passage of the Moat".

"Looking at this title," Nie Zhibo felt a little bit shocked, "It doesn't look like an earth-type ability?"

"The characteristics of supernatural powers cannot be understood literally," Lu Yanchi of Xueba gave an interpretation that was very in line with the status of Xueba, "Who would have thought that metallicity also represents electromagnetism, fire properties also represent energy, and water properties can Something to do with therapy—"

"By the way," Lu Yanchi tilted his head to look at Nie Zhibo, "I heard that the water attribute is setting off a wave of change in the medical field?"

"There is such a thing," Nie Zhibo replied absentmindedly looking at the title, "but it is a bit too exaggerated to say that it is a 'reform in the medical field'. There is not yet a water-type power user who is outstanding enough to be able to Summarize the reasonable application plan of water system power..."

"Shh, it's on, let's discuss it later." Nie Zhibo stopped talking.

After the title, in a steady and heavy music, the brave man slowly appeared.

She is still wearing a black cloak, she is still beautiful, and her expression is calm. From the very beginning of the Hohenschwanstein Castle mutation challenge, he seemed to be dressed like this, without changing it for hundreds of years.

"Don't brave men change their clothes?" Nie Zhibo whispered.

"Maybe they have exactly the same clothes," Lu Yanchi is such a person, he wears the same white shirt, black pants and lab clothes every day, he doesn't even bother to make extra dressing up, "or maybe, people are flawless and have no body. Sweat, you don't need to change clothes at all."

"That's right," Nie Zhibo smiled, "how can we use the minds of mortals to speculate on the life of a god?"

"Shh," Lu Yanchi stared at the screen without moving his eyes, "keep watching, keep watching."

Nie Zhibo obediently closed his mouth.

In the video, the camera is pulled up from the hero and slowly pushed forward.

In front of the brave man is a wide river, which is flowing forward with turbulent waves.

On the side of the big river, there are piles of processed wood, as well as these miscellaneous and various auxiliary props.

besides. The most conspicuous is a high mud wall by the shore, and a huge floor plan posted on the high mud wall.

The brave man moved forward slowly with the camera, and his pace was not hurried. Since the initial Hohenschwanstein Castle mutation challenge, he seems to have been using such a pace all the time, as if everything is under control and everything is under control.

The brave man stood in front of the plan on the high mud wall, and the camera moved to the plan.

This floor plan is like an oblique screenshot of the big river and the scenery on both sides of the river. Even the wood and auxiliary props are drawn on it in a more realistic way.

On the right side of the floor plan hangs a pair of gloves.

The hero picked up the gloves and put them on his hands.

"Did you think," Nie Zhibo couldn't help it, and opened his mouth again. He was an intelligence background, and he was doing analysis all the time, "The hero is too familiar with the content of the dungeon? It feels like... um , I have challenged it countless times."

"Everyone knows that Jiuqu has the ability to predict." Lu Yanchi, who just wanted to watch the video carefully and didn't want to discuss it in the first viewing, was a little unhappy. He also wanted to go deep into the video and get some inspiration. What, but he still replied, "I predicted the situation of the dungeon in advance, what's so strange about it?"

"Maybe..." Nie Zhibo wanted to say something else, but under Lu Yanchi's gaze, he could only helplessly shut his mouth, "Okay, let's take a serious look first, take a serious look."

The hero in the video is wearing gloves and directly starts touching the painting.

Just like in the legendary wizarding world of Hogwarts, there seems to be something else in the painting. The brave man's hand directly crossed the frame, reached into the painting, and easily picked up the wood in the painting.

With his movements, the world outside the painting also changed, and the wood piled up outside the painting also flew into the sky, as if an invisible hand was manipulating it.

"What kind of attribute copy is this?" Lu Yanchi couldn't help himself, and opened his mouth.

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and soil are supposed to be soil," he pondered, "but, why are the earth elements able to control wood?"
