Chapter 95 The Beginning of Chaos

Maybe it's because the strange dream last night was too absurd, or it's simply not adapting to the tropical climate.Last night, Xiang Shan didn't sleep very well.

After Xiang Shan brushed his teeth, he wanted to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast.But when he walked out of the dormitory and turned the first corner, he was taken aback.

He remembered that yesterday, there was only a straight-line distance of 200 meters between the dormitory and the cafeteria.

After one night, rows of well-built houses appeared at a distance of 200 meters.

It's like clumps of mushrooms growing overnight.

Many soldiers in military uniforms and blue helmets are delivering goods to these second and third-story houses.Those are office furniture that can be assembled, mostly high-strength synthetic materials, cheap and light.

"Hey, the efficiency is really terrible." Xiang Shan nodded unconsciously: "Has the technology related to human architecture reached this point?"

At this time, Xiang Shan's new phone suddenly sounded a notification.

"Hi, researcher Xiang Shan. Please arrive at the 'Rama Special Project' Engineering Research Center before 8:30 am."

This paragraph was sent in Chinese, English, and several languages ​​that Xiang Shan did not understand.In addition, a satellite map is attached, which shows the location of the dormitory and the location of the destination.

For breakfast, bread and mashed potatoes are still provided, and the meat is replaced with sausages, as well as smooth eggs and omelets.Xiang Shan has no problem with the peppery mashed potatoes, but he feels that he has begun to miss the boiled noodles.

The destination Rama Engineering Research Center for Special Projects is a small three-story building that was built just this morning—in other words, it only has three walls now, and one wall is not sealed.The building covers an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters.The first floor seems to be arranged as some kind of experimental place.Technicians in military uniforms are setting up dust-proof structures and laying special power lines.

Taking a look at Xiang Shan, he found that there seemed to be room for large equipment in the plan on the first floor.The reason why the wall was not sealed was probably due to this consideration.After all the large instruments are installed, they will seal the wall.

Xiang Shan met Liu Zhenghui at the door.The master and apprentice followed the guidance and came to the second floor of the research center.

The second floor seems to be an office area.The basic line laying and audio-visual playback equipment have been installed, and several people in military uniforms are quickly assembling office desks and chairs.David Klein was standing in front of the crowd.Behind him is a desk that has just been put together, and there are several printers running at full speed.Several civilian-looking soldiers are quickly binding the printed contents together, and then sorting them into categories and placing them on the desk.

Xiang Shan felt that the synthetic materials that made up this desk were groaning in pain.

Lao Liu said with emotion: "Tsk tsk, the construction of our country's young scholar team has not kept up. The average age here is probably under 40 years old."

Xiang Shan nodded: "Well, if our ages are averaged, that's the average age here."

"I felt old in an instant." Lao Liu thought about a question: "Why do you think the scholars sent by the United States are obviously younger? Is it because of this project that we need to find some people who are more receptive to aliens? Is it more imaginative... It's not right. Those who grew up reading the works of the golden age of science fiction are probably of our generation, right?"

This is a bit different from the "meeting meeting" Xiang Shan imagined.There was still chaos all around.Even if the master and apprentice speak, they won't attract anyone's attention.

Since some soldiers are still assembling office furniture, the space is a bit cramped.The central air conditioner has not yet been installed, only a few high-powered fans are promoting air convection.In this environment, the hot and humid weather in Southeast Asia is doubly torturing.

Xiang Shan felt that this meeting smelled of sweat.

"Yo, buddy, we meet again..." David Klein waved to Xiang Shan: "I remember you... you were... yesterday..."

"I'm sitting next to that laughing man." Xiang Shan quickly reached out his hand and shook this man.

"Oh, yes. That man should go to the anthropological analysis department." David nodded: "You are also in charge of engineering analysis, right? What field did you study before? Aerospace technology or electronic technology?"

Lao Liu quickly squeezed over: "We are together. We both came from Tsinghua University, and we were originally engaged in hardware."

David Klein held out his hand: "David Klein, I introduced you yesterday, from NASA."

"Liu Zhenghui. This is my student Xiang Shan." Old Liu took up the conversation: "What are you doing now? Why is no one here to preside over the meeting?"

"Don't you know? In this special project, the scientific research department has considerable freedom of action." David said: "This is unprecedented, so the scientific research personnel have more say than all other bureaucrats... In addition, in a sense, the traditional academic ecology is not suitable for such a special project, and there is no experience in dealing with such things, can you understand?"

The core of doing research on this kind of thing is the word "money".No matter what kind of cat or dog you are, as long as you can find a "capitalist" who is willing to burn money for your dream, then you can set up a research project led by yourself.And within this project, you have uncompromising authority—until results are delivered or the money burns dry.

However, the relationship between students and tutors in this ecology is not the "teacher and students" under the modern education system.It is even closer to the apprenticeship system and bonded labor in the old society.A student's future can largely be determined by the will of the individual tutor, not by the education system itself.

But "Rama Special Project" has a completely different special background.The establishment of this project cannot be decided by a certain person or a certain country.The distribution of rights and interests involved in it may actually affect the whole world.

"All the bureaucrats are accusing other bureaucrats of being unprofessional and unreasonable to interfere. There is also controversy among academics. A lot of people are not willing to accept the bureaucrat's appointment, the guy who...'doesn't look better than me' Become a leader." David Klein said: "On the other hand, most of the experts in the world who have access to 'Ogun' intelligence are here. Even if the major countries leave some consultants, they are not as professional as they are. Those of us who are on the front line."

"So for now, we have autonomy."

Xiang Shan pointed to the desk behind David: "This is..."

"The papers of the members of the Engineering Research Center." David said: "Many people here are from different countries, and their understanding of each other is quite limited. So I and a few former NASA colleagues thought that everyone can read other papers first. We also applied to hold a party established by a department in the cafeteria. It’s just that the cafeteria is only temporary now, and we don’t have the conditions yet, so the application was rejected.”

Xiang Shan clicked his tongue: "You people in the United States are quite outgoing..."

"Oh, by the way, the guy from the information and security department just wrote a crude chat program, have you added it now?"

David took out his mobile phone while talking: "A few buddies got together to write it yesterday. It's a very simple gadget."

Old Liu was a little worried: "Is this allowed?"

This thing was not released through official channels, which made him hesitate a little.

"Huh?" David was a little surprised: "What?"

"I mean, isn't this kind of private chat software banned?"

"That's not true." David Klein sighed: "They just blocked the Internet, making all the chat software out there unusable. The server of this new chat software is under the supervision of the United Nations, and it is completely legal and compliant. Regulation."

Old Liu asked strangely, "Then why didn't you notify everyone to download the software?"

"Why? Is this a voluntary tool?" David asked back: "There is no need to download it right now?"

Hearing this, Lao Liu felt a little relieved.David used Bluetooth to send the installation package to the two of them, which was only a few hundred KB in size.This size makes people feel quite safe.Lao Liu did not install it immediately, but planned to go back and ask the cadres before making a decision.

Xiang Shan wanted to see if he could find a tool to disassemble and look at the code.

The two didn't install right away, and David Klein was no surprise.In classified projects, it is normal to have concerns about this kind of stuff.He said: "The use of real names is encouraged in principle, but it is not mandatory - well, this is someone else's paper."

Xiang Shan and Lao Liu each received several kilograms of paper.David also enthusiastically found brown paper bags and helped them pack them.

"Okay buddy." David Klein handed the kraft paper bag in his hand to Lao Liu, and said, "Of course, reading papers is not the only way for scholars to communicate. My personal suggestion is that the big guys take advantage of the fact that they are still free now." Come and have a chat... Of course, it's not limited to here, it's better to go to other places. God, the weather is really terrible."

He said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Xiang Shan turned his head and wanted to go to the cafeteria, and read the paper while drinking some cold drinks-you can add ice cubes to the juice and soda in the cafeteria.He needs this right now.

But Lao Liu grabbed him: "Stop, this is a great opportunity to meet colleagues from various countries!"
