Five days after Heim was killed, the final investigation results came out.
Because there is no strong evidence to prove that Kotobuki's illegal behavior is directly linked to Heim's death, Kotobuki's suspicion has been lifted. However, Kotobuki's personal illegal operations have seriously violated the basic regulations established by the multinational joint research team.
, so Kotobuki and his team were cleared from the Origin One Dome.
Although the Japanese side fought hard against this decision, the rules are the rules and no one can violate them. However, the top management of the National Security Department also left some escape paths for the Japanese side, that is, after one year, Japan can ask the National Security Bureau again.
The top management of the department applied to join the joint research team.
The elimination of Kotobuki's suspicion is generally a good result for the Japanese side, but it is a bit puzzling for the research teams in other divisions.
Because if Kotobuki is excluded, then what is the cause of Heim's death?
…
"Placing all the blame on the instability of Forerunner 3? Isn't this investigation result a bit too hasty?" You Gege asked.
Zhang Fengyu doesn't want to see such a result, but sometimes, the investigation results may not be the closest to the truth, and may also serve certain people.
Zhang Fengyu didn’t need to explain this, You Gege understood it himself.
Ou Mengya has no feelings about the indefinite postponement of the "Forerunner 3" research. What she is most worried about now is Germany's small moves.
These guys must have their own plans for secretly developing something like an infrared wave spectrometer, but what exactly is it?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door opened and Li Shaoan walked in with a serious look on his face.
"Director." Everyone stood up in a hurry.
Li Shaoan waved his hand: "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
Several people in the room looked at each other, not knowing what happened.
After everyone sat down, Li Shaoan said: "Minister Chen and I just participated in a seminar composed of regional leaders from various countries. The main agenda of the meeting was about the next research work of 'Forerunner 3', so you don't have to worry about Heim."
His death will have an impact on the research progress."
After hearing this, Yougege was happy, but she didn't show it.
Ou Mengya also felt that this was an expected thing. After all, you can't stop eating because of choking.
"However, the existing research team will need to make personnel adjustments, and the research will be directly transferred to the third phase."
"The third phase?" Yougege was startled when she heard this. She had never heard of a third phase of research.
But judging from the reactions of others, including Guo Xingcai, who was responsible for Yougege's safety, they didn't look very surprised. Presumably, they should have known about it a long time ago, but Yougege himself only realized it later.
Li Shao'an glanced at You Gege and said: "Yes, the third phase. In this phase, we will try to use Yanran's technology to resurrect 'Forerunner One' and 'Forerunner Two', and conduct research on all three 'Forerunners'."
Conduct in-depth observation and research on the body. Of course, during this process, radical research work such as dissection will not be carried out before the natural death of the 'Forerunner'. The specific research details will be revealed after the start of the third phase.
Distribute it to every researcher involved."
Yugege felt a little relieved after hearing that she would not harm them, but she gradually began to suspect that this bottom-line "no harm" principle would be deliberately ignored as the research progressed. After all, if the "precursors" were really advanced civilized creatures,
, that for
For humans, observational research alone is far from enough.
"In addition, I want to say that the Chinese researchers who have been identified to participate in the third phase include you. You will also enter the underground structure of Origin One from the day after tomorrow to start a one-year fully enclosed research work.
, During this period, you are not allowed to go out, and you are not allowed to contact the outside world, so you have to make good use of tomorrow to prepare."
After Li Shaoan finished speaking, he said "Everyone, take care" and left.
Yougege looked at Li Shaoan's leaving figure, and suddenly felt that the words "take care" were very abrupt...
What exactly does a one-year, fully enclosed study mean?
…
"Sister, do you have a boyfriend?" Guo Xingcai asked while packing things.
Yougege stood by the window. She had nothing to bring, so she was very idle.
"without……"
Guo Xingcai was startled when he heard this, a little embarrassed.
"What about you? Does Xingcai have a boyfriend?"
Guo Xingcai smiled faintly: "I'm no longer my boyfriend."
"Uh? Broke up?"
Guo Xingcai closed the box and said with a smile: "No, he is my husband now." As he said this, Guo Xingcai showed the photo to You Gege.
Yougege took it and saw that it was a soldier with a handsome face.
"His name is Wei Yun, a former sergeant major of the Jiaolong Special Forces Corps. He is now retired and working as a professional farmer in his hometown."
After hearing this introduction, Yougege suddenly felt a little envious. The bad things in her bones seemed so ridiculous in front of such ordinary beauty.
Maybe Li Shaoan is right...she is too extreme...
"How long has it been since you and him?" Yougege asked.
"Well...it's been almost a year."
"Then you must miss him very much, right?"
Guo Xingcai felt a little shy. She smiled and said, "Fortunately, we are used to it. We didn't see each other much when we were both in the army. There is no difference now."
As he said this, Guo Xingcai carefully put the photos away.
Yougege watched silently, then smiled slightly: "That's great."
…
July 25, 2024 AD
The third phase of research on "pioneers" has officially begun.
When You Gege and Guo Xingcai boarded the vertical elevator, they realized that there were only ten participants assigned to study underground structures in China this time.
And half of them are security personnel and are not directly involved in research work.
The only ones who will really play a key role in the third stage are You Gege, Ou Mengya, Zeng Yijie, Fu Xiaohan and Li Rang.
I won’t say the identities of Youge Ge and Ou Mengya.
Zeng Yijie, male, Sichuanese, 41 years old, is a doctoral tutor specializing in biological genetics. He is not tall and rarely talks. He has never even spoken to You Gege, but he has spoken to Zhang Fengyu.
He has a very close relationship with him. It is said that Zhang Fengyu saved his life in the mountains when he was working in Sichuan.
As China's second Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine, Zeng Yijie's achievements go without saying. However, the main reason why Zeng Yijie was able to participate in this research on "pioneers" is because of his recent proposal of "Biological Genetics".
"Retrospective Theory".
In this theory, Zeng Yijie boldly proposed that biological inheritance has homology, that is to say, all existing organisms have the same origin. We can start from
We can search for the past of dinosaurs in birds, and we can also search for the past of human beings from the genes of fish. All biological genetic characteristics evolved from a specific "meta" type of gene mutation. If humans can find this "meta" type of gene mutation,
"Type genes are expected to unlock the ultimate mystery of biological evolution."
This theory is certainly bold, but it has also been ridiculed by many people because it is too bold. Some news media have even publicly published critical articles about Zeng Yijie himself being impetuous and unrealistic because of his award.
However, these all became a cloud after the "pioneers" appeared, and Zeng Yijie naturally became one of the first batch of researchers selected by the China Branch of the National Security Department.
Fu Xiaohan, female, is from Changchun, Jilin. She is 21 years old and is a graduate student after 2000. She is the youngest participant in the entire research team. Although Fu Xiaohan is not old, this girl focuses on the present.
The latest and hardest quantum applied engineering and Jimmy polymer science.
You Gege probably knows something about quantum applied engineering, which is a subject related to the exploration and application of the quantum field, but this Jimmy polymer science is a bit unfamiliar.
Later, through contact with Fu Xiaohan, Yu Gege learned that Jimmy Polymer is a special major that is still in the trial stage internationally.
The original initiator was Jimmy Ohler, and the polymer science he proposed aimed to expand the application and depth of research in the field of polymers.
Although the structure of the polymer itself is not complex, we commonly see the "tetraenes" in plastics (polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene) and the "tetralins" in man-made fibers (nylon, polyester, acrylic and
Vinyl), the "four rubbers" in rubber (styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber and ethylene-propylene rubber) are all polymer materials.
However, Jimmy Oler proposed that although existing polymer materials are widely used, they are relatively low-grade. The field of polymers should be expanded and even become a field that humans must use to explore the universe in the future.
However, at first, everyone was dismissive of the idea proposed by Jimmy, because Jimmy's theory was not prospective.
So in order to prove that his theory is feasible and credible, Jimmy led his team in 2021 to synthesize the world's first strong mutual polymer material-Yizon crystal through a special "strong mutual" reaction.
This Yizi crystal has extremely high plasticity under special environmental conditions, but it also has ultra-high material strength and material toughness in a relatively stable state.
As soon as it was born, it became a new favorite in the aerospace industry. As for its specific application, Yougege did not know any more.
But Yougege has already felt the huge potential contained in Jimmy's polymer science.
As a top student in this major, Fu Xiaohan was not noticed by the National Security Department at first. However, through subsequent research, it was discovered that the body of "Forerunner 3" had many similar characteristics to Yuan Crystal, so Fu Xiaohan was removed from the school by Li Shaoan.
Discovered it and joined the research team in China.
Li Rang, male, from Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, 39 years old, is an archaeologist, painter, photographer, psychologist, and doctor. He is the most extensive and gentlemanly researcher in the entire China team.
However, compared to the previous two, Li Rang has almost no personal achievements. The only one he can show off is that a set of photos he took at the 2008 Olympics won a prize in a domestic photography competition. The others...
Therefore, when Li Rang joined the team, some people were talking privately...
Li Rang was able to join the group just because his surname was Li...
