I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

Paul refused to give up, "Mr. Chen, just listen."

"Stop talking about that, by the way, what happened to the villa in Newport Beach that I asked you to pay attention to?"

Chen Feng changed the subject, and Powell fell for it.

"Hey, I have some great news to tell you, but it's not time yet. We'll have some clues soon, and I'll let you know when the time comes."

Chen Feng made an OK gesture and said, "Leave it to you. You know, my time is more valuable than money, so I'll take a rest first."

After successfully blocking his mouth, Chen Feng sat quietly until the airport.

The Boeing 777 roars into the sky.

But they said that thousands of kilometers away in Boston, there were already people preparing for the attack.

On the plane, Chen Feng did not rest, but kept sketching out the operation in his mind.

He knew how difficult it was, after all, he had already failed once in the previous timeline.

He didn't want to experience the same failure twice.

Being able to predict the future does not necessarily make it easy to avoid failure.

The Linton Institute's obstruction of Ryan is not an individual act, but an inevitable ideological confrontation between two world powers with different ideas.

Even if Chen Feng tried to find a way to change all the people he was going to meet today into another group that seemed less extreme and friendly, he still wouldn't be able to change the final result.

Some things are deeply ingrained. What Chen Feng needs to face is an entire huge ideology, which does not show obvious differences due to individual differences.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng, accompanied by his agent in Boston, walked into the Linton Institute.

The agent is a tall blonde girl named Liwen Aniston. She is very cheerful and talkative. She has a master's degree from MIT and is proficient in five languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, French and German. The elders in the family are highly respected here. Well-known scholars.

"Mr. Chen, the attendees of this meeting are Dr. Laurson, Dr. Ilon, and Dr. Velenmano... This is the list, with a brief introduction by the responsible persons."

Chen Feng watched as he walked, his brows gradually frowning.

In the 21st century, he did not deliberately understand the academic giants of this era.

But Chen Feng had seen these names in the history of science and technology of this century compiled by descendants in the 31st century.

Chen Feng may know them better than they know themselves.

Every one of them is a great person, and almost all of them have won Nobel Prizes.

But that’s not the case now. Some people are still queuing up, and some people haven’t made hard enough results yet.

Of course, this group of people all have one thing in common. They are not very friendly to Chen Feng's motherland and are considered die-hards.

Unfortunately, these people still hold power at the Linton Institute and AAAS, and they are all very difficult to deal with.

Chen Feng in the previous timeline probably didn't understand why these people, although they were all intellectuals, were completely messy and unreasonable. In the end, he was so angry that he walked away from the meeting.

He also lost his temper and made a clear distinction on the spot, saying that don't say what you said without warning. If you have the ability, you will never have anything to do with me.

The two sides broke up on bad terms.

Although two years later, when the power of Xingfeng Research Institute continued to explode and the influence of "The Collection of Madman's Conjectures" continued to expand, and even the Nobel Prize could not be awarded to him, these people finally came to him to apologize eagerly, and It solved Ryan's remaining problems very smoothly.

Chen Feng's slap in the face was quite satisfying, but he couldn't get back the time he wasted.

It's different now. He first understands other people's positions, and then no matter what these people say, he can find other people's motives.

Chen Feng felt that even if the negotiation could not be concluded this time, the result would not be worse than last time.

"Thank you, I generally understand the situation."

Chen Feng handed the information back to Liwen.

"Mr. Chen so fast?"

Liwen asked in surprise.

It only took her seven or eight seconds to add the information to Chen Feng, and then she finished reading it?

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "I can see things quickly."

Liwen Aniston believed it. After all, this was a genius scientific thinker who could write "Madman's Conjectures".

Yes, since Chen Feng has no working experience and there is no practical verification process in "Collection of Madman's Conjectures", the current general understanding of Chen Feng in the academic circles is that he is given the title of a scientific thinker.

Ten minutes later, the two entered the conference room, which was empty at this time.

Chen Feng looked at his watch and said, "It's four fifteen in the afternoon. Isn't that the time we agreed on? Did you go to the wrong conference room?"

Liwen said slightly embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, they may have a regular meeting in the conference room upstairs. I'll go take a look. You can wait here."

Exactly ten minutes later, a group of old white men walked in chaotically behind Liwen.

Chen Feng, who was sitting in the chief seat at the bottom of the conference room, raised his eyelids and raised his hand, which was regarded as a greeting.

He finally understands why he left in the previous timeline.

Logically speaking, these people should attach great importance to the concept of time. If they make an appointment at a quarter past four, it must be a quarter past four.

Being ten minutes late on purpose is clearly a show of authority and very despicable, but it is very effective in irritating people.

These people were slightly dissatisfied with Chen Feng's attitude, but they themselves were not much better and did not get angry on the spot.

Dr. Laursen, Vice President of the Linton Institute, who presided over the meeting, applauded meaningfully and welcomed Chen Feng's arrival.

"The Linton Institute welcomes Mr. Chen Feng, a world-renowned music producer..."

There was a lot of nonsense, and Chen Feng didn't even bother to listen carefully.

The title given to him by the other party is music producer, which has nothing to do with knowledge. This is the second time he is telling lies.

Although the influence of "The Collection of Madman's Conjectures" is still brewing, and it cannot be counted without experimental verification, all of you here are smart people, and you should also know the weight of this monograph.

Regardless of his important identity, making it clear means that everyone is not professional and we don't care about your mood.

Chen Feng no longer hesitated. After the other party shut up, he immediately said loudly: "Everyone, my purpose of coming today is very simple. It is for my research assistant Dr. Ryan. I won't say anything to make it convenient. It's time. Whatever you do, I’ll give you as much money as you need to buy out the last two months of Ryan’s contract.”

"I asked him to sign all the confidentiality agreements that he should sign. I poached him to let him work on my project. I have no interest in spying on your things, and I don't need to. I hope you don't set up difficulties for me. , and don’t do anything weird outside of the contract. Your country flaunts the spirit of the contract, so I hope you can all abide by the spirit of the contract."

"Ryan breached the contract in advance, so I am paying for it, and I have abided by the spirit of the contract. If you really refuse, then wait two months before I ask him for legal status, and you don't block the way between me and him."

Everyone was a little stunned.

It's their own style to speak so directly. Chinese people usually don't speak like this. They always like to make some convoluted things and throw out their intentions abruptly.

But Chen Feng got straight to the point, which was a very unique feeling.

Laursen turned his head and looked at Dr. Ellen next to him.

From an administrative level, the project team that Ryan previously led was under Dr. Illen's direct control, and it was time for him to take a stand.

Dr. Ilon pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Mr. Chen, there is an unwritten saying in our AAAS. Academic practitioners should do what is best for mankind."

Chen Feng raised his eyebrows, "How do you say that?"

Dr. Illan: "Contractually, Ryan chooses to leave, and we cannot refuse. But judging from his personal development and the contribution he can make to mankind, we hope that he can stay at the Linton Institute. Chinese Academics We are very aware of the atmosphere. There is an old saying in China that people should be self-aware. There is also an old saying that a bright pearl casts a shadow."

After Aeron finished speaking, most of the others agreed, with the same meaning.

The summary is that only if Ryan stays in Boston can he produce more useful results, allow his intelligence to be put into reasonable use, and even have the opportunity to become the next scientific leader like Enrico Fermi.

If he had gone to China, he would have had no chance of achieving Nobel Prize-level results in his life, and would have fallen into a black academic quagmire full of fraud, lies, fraud, and seniority.

Most of these people have read "Madman's Conjectures" and have vaguely heard that the newly established Xingfeng Research Institute will challenge ultra-high-tech projects such as room temperature superconductors. Of course, they understand Chen Feng's power, but their inner national stance makes these people The academic master may say something against his will, or he may mean it.

Chen Feng watched quietly as these people who were clearly standing at the top of the academic pyramid talked all kinds of nonsense.

Learned people act shamelessly, and they really do one thing after another, which is breathtaking.

This is too thick-skinned. It is clearly discrimination, but it is justified.

The world is never black and white.

It's the same everywhere.

No country can achieve absolute perfection and absolute fairness.

Kindness and integrity have always been just a floating, relative weighing standard.

The things they described did exist in Chen Feng's homeland, but they cannot be generalized.

But this is not the utopia they claim to be.

Living in the 21st century, this was the first time for Chen Feng to stand on such a high-level platform and come into contact with such a nauseating feeling.

How sad.

The ugly side of human beings seems to be hidden deeply, but once you see through it, you only feel rotten and pungent.

But he wasn't too surprised.

In the past timeline, all human beings were either brainwashed by "Song of the World", or they all went through the blood and fire trial caused by the S bacteria, or they were suppressed by Lei and faced the crisis of genocide that might come at any time. Humanity has truly stood together as one.

Without the next two ultimate civilization tests, I am afraid that the fear brought about by a crisis in the solar system barrier alone would not be enough to make this disgusting ideology completely disappear.

Chen Feng closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

He felt that he was still himself in the past.

It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature.

Even if I am mentally prepared, it seems that I will experience the same failure this time.

He planned to squirt, harder and earlier than last time.

"It's good for mankind? Really?" Chen Feng sneered coldly.

Everyone could see that he was about to burst into anger, but Laurson still nodded calmly, "Yes."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Chen Feng knocked on the table lightly, "If you were telling the truth, you wouldn't play such a hypocritical trick with me. Do you have self-awareness? I only heard discrimination in your words, Dr. Ellen."

Dr. Elon: "Mr. Chen, you are too sensitive. I only consider the issue from a scientific perspective."

Chen Feng stared at him expressionlessly, "Science? What? When you do things here, is it beneficial to mankind? When you go to my place, does it become harmful? Who gave you the courage to say this?"

"You are too hypocritical and shameless. In your words, I can hear a feeling that only Americans are considered human beings, and Chinese people are not human beings. If you like Chinese ancient sayings, I will give you another sentence, stand up for it. That's right. That’s you.”

"You don't understand, do you? Let me translate it for you. Being a bitch requires a gorgeous epitaph."

What Chen Feng said this time was more serious than in the previous timeline.

He vaguely remembered how he was furious at that time in historical records, but at the same time, he had different moods and would not adopt exactly the same attitude when faced with the same thing.

The source of his anger was that at that moment he suddenly felt that these people were sorry for their descendants such as Scott, Gaius, Lawrence, and Maleh.

Their seemingly ordinary confrontation in a small-scale meeting today has also caused global troubles for the next two years of recruitment for the Star Frontier Research Institute. Judging from the amplified impact of the butterfly effect, they have caused great harm to the progress of civilization. The obstacles have far-reaching consequences, and the sins are indeed serious.

Ideological hatred is not transferred by individual will.

Because humans are social animals, it is difficult to be isolated and independent, and they are always affected by the surrounding environment.

No matter how smart or rational a person is, no matter how many books he/she has read, if his/her parents, family, and friends have been instilling in him/her every day how dangerous another country is when he/she was growing up, how dangerous another country is. How selfish the people of a country are, then as this person grows up, the doubts and discrimination deep in his heart are almost destined to become more and more ingrained as his knowledge improves, and then become self-strengthened in interactions with others.

Sometimes the things that are used as examples may not all be lies. As long as the good side of the truth is deliberately ignored and the ugly side is emphasized, hatred and prejudice will naturally form.

After this generation grows up with prejudice, they will say the same words to their next generation at the dinner table and do the same things subconsciously. What will eventually form is a prejudice that lasts for hundreds of years, and may even last for thousands of years. Regionalization bias.

It is precisely because of the existence of people like Laurson, Ilen, and Velenmano that huge obstacles have been set up for future generations to eliminate prejudices and lead to a very short-term vicious competition. Otherwise, maybe in the previous timeline , Chen Feng has already succeeded.

Bitch words starting with B are quite popular here. As soon as Chen Feng said this, the group immediately exploded.

Livi Aniston can't even try to smooth things over.

This group of academically respected and world-renowned experts spoke out angrily.

Chen Feng only smiled and said nothing as he looked at this group of people who thought they were rational and neutral, but in fact they were completely living in a city besieged by prejudices constructed by the environment.

However, when it comes to swearing, they are not professional after all, and their physical fitness is not up to par. Chen Feng has no expression and no emotional ups and downs throughout the whole process, which makes them feel very unfulfilled. It is like hitting cotton with his fist with all his strength, and gradually it continues. Shut up.

"Are you done?" Chen Feng smiled, "Okay. French biologist Pasteur once said that science has no borders, but scientists have a motherland. I don't completely deny this sentence, but you can put these words If you implement it too extreme, everything must be done in moderation. The result of being too extreme will constitute your hypocritical and selfish personality hidden under the appearance of a scholar, and you will be trapped in it without knowing it."

"My words are so simple, I don't believe you can't understand. The truth should be clearer with each argument, but there is a voice in your heart telling you. If you understand, you have to pretend not to understand."

"But I can tell you clearly. No matter how great your achievements are, you will have mixed reputations and reputations in human history. Your descendants will pay a price beyond your imagination because of your selfishness."

Dr. Velenmano: "Are you threatening us? Who are you threatening us on behalf of?"

Chen Feng shrugged, "Look, your prejudices are so straightforward that you can't even hide them. Don't think that I am as narrow-minded as you. My eyes have never stopped at one city, one place, or even one country." Gains and losses have never even stayed on the earth. There is only one way out for mankind, which is to set foot in space. This day will not be too far away."

"Besides, I will still poach people, and I won't just poach people. In my territory, no matter the skin color, no matter the race, no matter where they come from, or which cemetery they will be buried in after death. I have only one purpose, to let more people More people come to me and do more things.”

Chen Feng gradually made a decision.

He knew where the narrow-mindedness of these people came from and how it would develop.

He used to let it go and thought he couldn't change it.

But after experiencing the previous timeline and seeing the spokesperson war that lasted for nearly four hundred years, he decided to try to do something.

"I support competition, but I don't support your narrow-minded competition. I can even tell you a few directions that I want to focus on next. I just name the projects I plan to launch, and you will know. You are not convinced, Then come and try to compete with me."

Seeing that he suddenly wanted to bring out the real thing, the group of people immediately shut up.

Dr. Elon responded in a timely manner: "The United States has the most complete and most creative scientific research system in the world, as well as the best scientific researchers in the world. No matter what you want to study, we don't need to care about you."

Chen Feng grinned, "Really? Ultra-pure carbon elemental technology for making ultra-high computing power carbon structure computer chips, large-capacity battery technology with no attenuation and infinite recycling, low-attenuation microwave high-load power transmission technology, there are other things you can't hope for. The real quantum computer programming concept I’m looking for...don’t you want it?”

There was sudden silence in the conference room.

These people couldn't hide their shock when they heard Chen Feng's plan.

Reason told them that Chen Feng might be bragging.

But emotionally it told them that the man who wrote "Madman's Conjectures" could really do it.
