Lin Shuo sent off his father-in-law and mother, and the rest of the day was spent at home.
It seemed that Miao Guangqi was not in a hurry to make the deal. Lin Shuo thought that it would not be too late to ask after the family affairs were settled.
In the end, he was not in a hurry, but someone was.
The director of the park, Cao Mian, called Lin's mansion and asked Fang if it was convenient for him to come and visit. He wanted to talk to the chief executive about something.
Lin Shuo didn't agree, the house was too messy to receive guests, Cao Mian suggested to sit in the bar at night, Lin Shuo agreed and asked him to call Yang Tuo by the way.
After the agreement between the two parties was completed, Lin Shuo passed away busy during the day.
Walking the dog, cleaning the house, cooking, and after dinner with his wife and children, it will be nine o'clock in the evening when Lin Shuo is truly free.
The location of the bar is not far from Yang Tuo's office. Lin Shuo often drank here with Yang Tuo before, so he was familiar with it.
This is a music bar with a small stage against the wall, and there are often live performances in the evening.
Lin Shuo went in tonight and found that he came earlier than the other two, and the performance on the stage had already started. The program was very special, a string quartet.
Two violins, one viola, one cello, four foreigners, two men and two women, are playing on the stage.
Now there are more than 3,000 foreigners in the entire Kunlun Park, all of whom have been introduced in the past ten years.
In the past ten years, Kowloon has been in trouble for a while, and the whole world has been in chaos. Only China is orderly. The Kunlun Park is a national key project, and word of mouth can be counted. The generous remuneration and bright future will naturally attract scholars and engineers from all over the world.
Lin Shuo didn't quite understand what song was being played on the stage at the moment, it sounded pretty good anyway, but if you wanted him to spend money to listen to it, it wouldn't make much sense.
And the key is the string playing, the atmosphere of the bar is too solemn, and the drinkers tonight are also very strange, all of them are in suits and leather shoes, as if they are attending a concert.
Lin Shuo and Yang Tuo usually come here to chat at night, drinking is second to none, what they want is a quiet atmosphere amidst the chaos, and no matter what he and Yang Tuo say, no one else cares.
It's not suitable tonight. No one in the audience is talking, and they are all playing on the stage. How can we talk about it
After inquiring with the bartender, Lin Shuo found out that tonight was reserved for the Institute of Theoretical Physics in the park, and all the people present were theoretical physicists.
Looking carefully at the stage, the woman who was playing the cello, he recognized, was Cao Mian's wife, Yi Lian.
She is considered to be the first physicist introduced by the Kunlun Park. No wonder, Cao Mian said that he would come to the bar tonight. It turned out that his wife was giving a concert.
After finding a seat and listening to a piece of music, Cao Mian and Yang Tuo also arrived.
Mr. Cao has been busy with his affairs these few years, and the hair on his head is getting thinner day by day, but his head looks pretty good. Seeing Lin Shuo's smug face, he asked, "Is Elaine doing well?"
Lin Shuo smiled: "Come on, let's go to the door."
"Why are you going to the door?" Cao Mian looked puzzled.
Yang Tuo adjusted his glasses, and said lightly, "It's not that I can't stop listening."
"No, don't get me wrong." Lin Shuo shook his head, "I think my brother and sister are playing too well, so it's not free to listen to. The three of us go to the door to sell tickets."
After some joking, the three of them found a table under the pergola outside the bar door.
The bar is reserved, there are no individual customers, and Elaine's colleagues are all listening inside, so this outdoor area is empty, just a good time to chat.
After the three brothers sat down, Cao Mian proposed to clink glasses first to celebrate the triumphant return of the leader of the hunting gate.
As a result, Lin Shuo shook his head, not ashamed to raise his glass.
The trip to Africa turned out to be better than he expected, but Lin Shuo had no shame in saying the words "return in triumph".
Seeing that Lin Shuo didn't move, Cao Mian didn't care, but kept winking with Yang Tuo, and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Dean Yang glanced at Director Cao with a calm expression: "In this situation, let's just celebrate. Lin Shuo, I know you've tried your best, but the situation is still very serious."
"Yeah." Lin Shuo nodded, "Ten years, no difference."
"It's good that you know." Yang Tuo said, "Ten years, if you sit in prison and count the days on your fingers, that's a very long time.
But for us science and technology practitioners, it is already very rare to be able to complete the experimental design for a practical application based on a breakthrough in theoretical physics, and then come up with a prototype.
This is only considering the technical difficulty, and does not include political and economic factors, otherwise it will take longer.
In the past, the equipment of the science and technology park was progressing very fast. That is because we have accumulated scientific and technological knowledge, the theory has long been established, and the technical route is also mature.
It’s different now. Theories are hypotheses that need to be verified by experiments, and technologies have divergent directions, which again need to be tested in practice.
It is impossible to expect our scientists to be able to raise the overall strength of mankind to a higher level within ten years and be able to compete with the Nine Dragons.
So Lin Shuo, the ten years you won for the human world are meaningless to me.
I am now waiting for your exact words. "
"What accurate words?" Lin Shuo asked.
"I can affirm that science and technology will not do anything in the past ten years. Then ten years later, you practitioners will be the only ones who can fight against the women. Are you sure?" Yang Tuo asked.
"No." Lin Shuo shook his head.
"Then I will resign as the dean of the Kunlun Academy of Sciences and live a good life with my wife for ten years." Yang Tuo said calmly, "There is no hope for work, so it is better not to do it."
Cao Mian hurriedly advised, "Yang Tuo, don't listen to his nonsense, he must have confidence."
"Whether he has confidence, you know better than him?" Yang Tuo asked back.
"Anyway, even if he doesn't have confidence, I have to say he has confidence." Cao Mian said, "He's just a hands-off shopkeeper anyway. It's okay to leave him in the Kunlun Park now, but it's okay to leave you, Dean Yang, because the state funds are all I voted for the Academy of Sciences, without you, who do I ask for money to support these 60,000 people?"
"Without Butcher Yang, you won't eat pork anymore?" Yang Tuo said lightly.
"I only eat meat from Butcher Yang's family." Cao Mian said categorically, and then glanced at Lin Shuo, "Chief Chief, help persuade Dean Yang."
Lin Shuo took a sip of the wine in his glass and said, "Persuasion, I can't persuade you. What will happen in ten years? I can't draw this cake now. It's just destiny to do everything. Here's an idea, you might as well listen to it."
"Say it."
Lin Shuo said calmly: "I think no matter what the ending is, from the birth to the extinction of human civilization, where technology climbs in the end, this is the ending of the so-called civilization.
That ending doesn't depend on practitioners like me, nor on other individuals, but on you, including these people at the bar tonight.
This may sound a bit tragic, but if one of the human beings must choose such an ending writer, I don't care how others choose, I will definitely choose you Yang Tuo.
In my opinion, you are the representative of human rational thinking. If you don't want to do it at this time, it means that the end of mankind will come ten years earlier. "
"Hey, you said you don't want to put pressure on me. This hat is on." Yang Tuo shook his head, "Why do I feel that if I quit, I will be more guilty than a woman?"
"That's what it means." Cao Mian nodded repeatedly.
Lin Shuo smiled: "Anyway, this is my idea, how you like to interpret it is up to you."
Yang Tuo said: "Lin Shuo, you still have the face to criticize me, I said I quit, but in fact I have been working, didn't I just get off work.
What about you, you've been back for a week, have you ever been out of the house
No matter how I look at you, you look like you are going to die, and you will make it difficult for me to do my job. "
"I stay at home, what does it have to do with your work?" Lin Shuo asked doubtfully.
"Of course it has something to do with it." Cao Mian took over the conversation, "President, you don't even think about where you are now.
You don't care about the flood outside, but people outside have been watching your every move.
In today's situation, if you show the slightest tendency to be negative and decadent, those who know what will happen ten years later will not be able to sit still.
Ten years from now, the world will be gone, who still wants to do things
Then they didn't dare to ask you, all the calls came to me, you don't know how many calls I have answered in the past two days... "
"No." Lin Shuo said with a look of injustice, "Whoever said that I am negative and depressed at home, I have been fulfilled every day. If anyone is not convinced, come to my house and try it. Can they handle so many chores? ?”
"Of course we know your disposition, but others don't. All in all, in this extraordinary period, you can no longer stay at home." Cao Mian said, "Otherwise the whole park will lose morale, especially Yang Tuo. there.
Their academics are not factory piecework, nor is the company soliciting business but also performance appraisal, mainly relying on subjective initiative.
You are making them see no hope now. If this continues, let alone the progress of scientific research, it is not surprising that some scholars commit suicide. "
"Isn't it?" Yang Tuo pointed to the door of the bar, "Playing the cello in a bar, how creepy, can a normal person do this?"
"Who are you talking about?" Cao Mian protested, "My wife is in good spirits."
"Put it down, people like me who spend time in the office every day can't see their wife for ten days." Yang Tuo shook his head.
"That's right." Cao Mian took a sip of his wine, "Speaking of which, the chief executive is at his leisure."
"Okay, okay." Lin Shuo raised his hands in surrender, "I figured it out, you just want to drive me out to do business."
"It's good to hear it." Yang Tuo nodded.
Cao Mian also said: "Now there is just a deal, and the chief executive must do it himself."
