The underground research institute was jointly established by Zhenjiang Kongtong and the government. The-2 to-4 floors were for government staff, the-5 floor was for both parties to share information and conduct experiments together, the-6 to-8 floors were for Alex company staff, and the-9 floor was for government leaders and Zhenjiang Kongtong. All decisions had to be discussed on this floor. Zhenjiang Kongtong had his office on the-9 floor, but he had no work and could only sit in the office for a day. Moreover, the-9 floor was the same size as the other floors. However, the number of government leaders on this floor, including him, could be counted on one hand. The entire floor was so quiet that one could even hear their own breathing. This was simply torture for Zhenjiang Kongtong. Therefore, he had the idea of interviewing the security guards of the steel factory. At least it would not be so deserted...
After entering the canteen on the government floor, Liu Hezong walked to the waiter and said something. The waiter nodded and walked to Kong Zhenjiang and said,"Please come this way." The waiter led Kong Zhenjiang and Liu Hezong to a private room. After handing the menu to the two of them, he put away the extra bowls and chopsticks on the table. The two of them casually ordered a few home-cooked dishes and began to chat.
As they still had work to do in the afternoon, the two of them did not order alcohol. The two of them chatted about unimportant topics. After probing their intentions again and again, Liu Hezong obviously could not take it anymore. He felt like he was punching cotton. Kong Tongzhen changed the topic every time. Just as Liu Hezong felt that he was at his wit's end, Kong Tongzhen suddenly asked," How's the progress of the energy and material project recently? Any new discoveries?" This sentence suddenly reminded Liu Hezong. For Liu Hezong, at the company level, he was only the person in charge of one of the many projects. He was not at the level of a decision maker at all. However, when Kong Zhenjiang asked this question, it reminded him that the progress of the project he was responsible for had been stagnant recently and had been talked to by the higher-ups several times. The other project teams were working overtime all night, but his own project team had never worked overtime. Because the higher-ups had not made clear the progress of the research and development, Moreover, the researchers worked overtime for free, which made Liu Hezong feel that it was better to go home and spend time with his wife and children than to work overtime without progress. It was precisely because of this that their project team was always in a very lazy state. It was obvious that the higher-ups were unhappy and wanted to use the hands of Kong Tong Zhenjiang to fire him. The government would have all kinds of troubles if they fired someone, but Kong Tong Zhenjiang would not. This was because the cooperation contract between the government and Kong Tong Zhenjiang clearly stated that If Kongtong Zhenjiang was not satisfied with the staff provided by the government, Kongtong Zhenjiang could fire the staff without the government's consent. Moreover, the staff fired by Kongtong Zhenjiang could only be considered as being fired by private enterprises. This made Liu Hezong panic. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the project he was in charge of for not working overtime and not making progress. This was to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. Of course, he was the person in charge. When he thought of his wife and children at home who still needed to support themselves, if he was fired, If he couldn't find a job or the salary of the job wasn't enough to support the mortgage and daily expenses, then he would be in big trouble. Thinking of this, Liu Hezong's sweat kept coming out. He hurriedly said to Zhenjiang Kongtong," Director Kongtong, don't worry. Our project will speed up the research and development progress as soon as possible. As the project leader, I will definitely not allow the project members to be lazy!”Zhenjiang Kongtong was stunned for a moment. Zhenjiang Kongtong didn't know what had happened, but he could roughly infer something from Liu Hezong's words. Although he didn't know what exactly he meant, there would be no problem if he followed Liu Hezong's words. Zhenjiang Kongtong laughed and said to Liu Hezong with satisfaction," That's right!" I have high hopes for you. Work hard!”Then, he changed the topic." Aiya, I once met a young man in 2025. He was as motivated as you and had been working very hard, but then..." Jiang Kongtong paused and took a sip of tea. Liu Hezong subconsciously asked," What happened after that?"”Zhenjiang Kongtong was secretly delighted. He had taken the bait! Zhenjiang Kongtong revealed a regretful expression and said sadly,"Sigh! Do you remember the meteorite crash in 2025? At that time, the meteorite was still radioactive after it fell to Earth. At that time, the police had not arrived at the scene. He climbed into the crater and touched the meteorite..." Zhenjiang Kongtong did not continue. He picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp. Liu Hezong quickly picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Zhenjiang Kongtong. He thought with some disdain," This guy is courting death. Who would still try despite knowing the danger?" Then he thought," Wait... Isn't this talking about me?" " I knew that the leader would be angry if there was no progress, but I still led the project team to never rush the progress..." Good heavens, Liu Hezong was already bathed in sweat when he thought of this. He trembled and said to Kong Zhenjiang," Kong Tong, Director Kong Tong, don't worry. You can rest assured. I will never repeat the same mistake again..."。。。。It was obvious that the donkey's lips did not match the horse's mouth. At this moment, Jiang Kongtong's forehead was also covered in sweat. He immediately waved his hand and said,"Ha."。。。"Haha, it's fine. Speaking of which, that meteorite is really strange now." Zhenjiang Kong Tong picked up his glass and pretended to drink water while secretly observing Liu Hezong's facial expression. Liu Hezong did not notice Zhenjiang Kong Tong observing him. He frowned and stared at the dishes as he fell into his memories. Then he said,"Yes, it's true. After the government's research failed, they cut the meteorite into many parts for various research institutes to study. Although we got a part of that meteorite, we still have a lot to do." However, there was no progress so far. The meteorite was very strange. It was like a living thing. It could change its color under external stimulation, but it could not detect the characteristics of the living thing. Sometimes, the meteorite would suddenly emit a large amount of energy. Everyone agreed that there should be something else in the meteorite. Otherwise, it would not emit such a large amount of energy. However, after cutting it open, there was nothing. Therefore, there were basically two guesses. One was that it was some kind of creature unknown to humans." One is that this meteorite is part of the aliens, and it changed its color to communicate with us... But no matter what, this meteorite clearly deviated from the law of conservation of energy." Liu Hezong's expression was a little strange, and he continued," That thing doesn't belong to the meteorite. From the beginning to the end, there was no material known to humans. It's called a meteorite because it's embedded in the interior of the meteorite in the universe. If you remove the external material, it can't be considered a meteorite. It's too strange."
Liu Hezong was talking about the meteorite that fell in 2025. After the meteorite fell, it emitted a light blue light and was then pulled away by the government. The meteorite was five meters long and three meters high. After removing the outer meteorite, the unknown substance inside was left with three meters long and two meters high. The scientists had also failed to analyze it. Moreover, the unknown substance occasionally emitted a large amount of energy. Every time the energy was emitted, it would rise rapidly and flicker frequently. When it reached the peak, it would explode. The energy emitted was different every time. Sometimes it was electricity, sometimes it was heat, sometimes it was unknown energy, and sometimes it was even radiation! However, after the release, the meteorite would quickly absorb it again. However, every time the energy was released, the laboratory was basically destroyed. After destroying the various laboratories, the researchers thought that there should be other substances inside. They wanted to cut it into small pieces to reduce the power of the energy explosion. Then, they used laser cutting to cut the unknown substance from the middle. They found that there was nothing inside. In the end, the energy explosion that night did not reduce. The two pieces of unknown matter exploded with energy that was even more powerful than before. The researchers never expected 1/2 to become 2, and 1 1 to become 4. The power released directly razed the five-story research institute to the ground. Fortunately, people evacuated to the fallout shelter on the third floor underground. Otherwise, it would be unimaginable. Later, the researchers simply cut one of them into many pieces. During the cutting process, the researchers found that as long as the pieces were controlled within 5 x 5 cm, they would not explode with energy. Now, only one piece was kept, and the remaining one was cut into 5×5 pieces to exchange other information or materials with research institutes around the world.
After listening to Liu Hezong, Zhenjiang Kongtong asked again," So no one has researched this meteorite yet?”Liu Hezong nodded and continued,"There are even people from some countries who believe that this is a messenger sent by the heavens and have begun to worship it." Liu Hezong smiled bitterly after he finished speaking.
" Is that so…" The news of Kong Tong Zhenjiang did not fall behind. At present, no one had studied what this substance was, but how did Xuanyuan Hong's research institute know? Could it be a feint? He decided to ask him in person. After dinner, Kong Zhenjiang hurriedly bid farewell to Liu Hezong and drove home…
" Phew, I guess I can keep my job..." Liu Hezong watched as Zhenjiang Kongtong's car disappeared from his sight and muttered softly. At least in this exchange, Zhenjiang Kongtong did not mention the matter of dismissal. Liu Hezong thought so and turned around to enter the research institute. After returning to the research institute, the first thing he did was to issue a notice to the project team: From today onwards, you will work overtime at least until 9 or 10 o'clock!
Zhenjiang Kongtong, who was driving, felt that this was an opportunity. If Xuanyuan Hong's company really discovered a synthesis method or other valuable discoveries, he had to ask for it no matter what, whether it was money, power, or women. With this thought in mind, he gradually came up with a plan as he saw his home getting closer and closer.
After parking the car in the garage, Kong Zhenjiang walked into the house and realized that his wife was not there. After searching upstairs and downstairs, he patted his head and remembered that his wife had told him to go to Shi Ailin's house in the morning. Then, he walked to the neighbor's house.
" Dong, dong, dong." Shi Ailin opened the door when she heard the knocking sound. When she saw Kong Zhenjiang, she asked in surprise," Brother Kong Tong, you're back so early. Xue Nai is inside. Come in quickly." After saying that, Shi Ailin opened the metal door and invited Kong Zhenjiang in. As she walked along the river, she replied," Hi, I just went to the factory to take a look. After a while, I realized that I didn't have anything to do, so I came back directly. What is Xue Nai doing? I didn't disturb you, right?"”Shi Ailin tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled." There's nothing to disturb. Yukina is writing Chinese from memory, and the children are sleeping." The two of them entered the house as they spoke. When Yamaguchi Yukina saw Zhenjiang Kongtong, she was a little excited. She ran over like a child and grabbed Zhenjiang Kongtong's hand. She shouted in broken Chinese," Scratch... offer... lie... suffer... reverse." Zhenjiang Kongtong's face was a little red. What was this old couple doing? Besides, there was still…there was someone else. Then, he turned his face away and said in a panic," Okay, okay, okay, okay... I got it, I got it. Just once will do, just once will do!”Shi Ailin covered her mouth and giggled." Phew!" Kong Zhenjiang let out a sigh of relief. After calming down her pounding heart, she said to Shi Ailin," Sister-in-law, when will brother get off work?" "Come over to our house for dinner today. I've already prepared the wine. It's a good time for me to have a heart-to-heart talk with my brother. I've been going crazy recently." Shi Ailin felt a little awkward when she heard this. Xuanyuan Hong was a very quiet person. He basically wouldn't eat with his friends. To be precise, he didn't have any friends. However, they were neighbors after all. If he invited her, she would reject him from afar. It was also inappropriate not to go so close. She smiled and said to Kong Zhenjiang,"This…I'm not sure either." I'll call him and ask him."Then he dialed Xuanyuan Hong's phone.
