Chapter 404 Too Arrogant
It took Xu Guoqiang and others more than half a month to arrange dozens of cutting-edge equipment, hundreds of accessories, and thousands of consumables. Many devices require the user to read through the thick manual in order to know how to use it? In particular, these devices are often unique and have to be used with caution.
But during this half month, Xu Guoqiang began to expand his laboratory strength unnoticed. After he brought the team of his old classmate Qian Xueming into his laboratory, he thought about bringing in other high-level researchers again.
The competition in scientific research and academia is extremely fierce, and no amount of funding can satisfy the appetite of all researchers. It is always the highest level, the most talented, the most famous people who get the most funding and build the best laboratories. A large number of people with lower levels, clumsy mouths and cheeks, and lower reputations are suffering at the bottom of the scientific research pyramid.
Xu Guoqiang himself was once a member of the suffering group, and his network is precisely the least lack of people who are suffering as much as him. After Qian Xueming, he brought in three other biomedical teams from the province, and signed a confidentiality agreement while giving a large amount of funding.
In short, Xu Guoqiang's biochemical laboratory became mysterious within a few months. People who join the laboratory are often tight-lipped about their respective scientific research projects, but the look on their brows and eyes is full of high spirits. After all, having money can always make people strong.
In order to keep it secret, Zhou Qingfeng divided the entire ntz project into more than ten sub-projects. Originally, Xu Guoqiang had to handle all these project researches by himself, but now he is assigned to several professors and associate professors who joined the laboratory to take the lead in completing the project, and the progress of the project has been accelerated several times.
Everyone was told that they were engaged in a secret research mission, and the materials and equipment were all obtained from foreign secret research institutions. Just do your own thing well, and don't interfere with issues that are not yours.
The strict confidentiality system, perfect security measures, and the ntz project, which is tall at first glance, made all participants excited to do great things. Especially according to the project schedule, ntz-49 should be configured within eight months, and victory seems to be in sight.
However, while the project is progressing smoothly, the funds of nearly 100 million soft sister coins are also being consumed rapidly. For a bottle of reagents that cost hundreds of thousands of biochemical research, it is a waste of money to do anything casually.
There are already more than 150 people in Xu Guoqiang's biochemical laboratory, and the cost of consumption has suddenly increased, exceeding one or two million soft sister coins every day.
Xu Guoqiang excitedly told Zhou Qingfeng that the project was progressing smoothly, and euphemistically proposed that the laboratory's current tens of millions of funds would last at most one more month. If there is no new capital injection, the prosperous scene that the laboratory has finally acquired will immediately cool down. And Zhou Qingfeng just said lightly, "I know".
Regarding the issue of funding, Zhou Qingfeng was more concerned than Xu Guoqiang. After he completed the task of the Shanghai Film Festival, he got about 100 million soft sister coins, which were basically invested in the ntz project.
But this life-saving project is definitely a bottomless pit and a gold-swallowing beast. If you throw 100 million into it, you can't even hear a sound. After more than two months, the police started to call the police. After Zhou Qingfeng returned to reality this time, his first task was to sell the gems and artworks he got from the wasteland.
But there was a small accident at this time. When Zhou Qingfeng was thinking about how to sell the things, the Metropolitan Museum of New York suddenly reported a big news-there was a large-scale art theft case in the museum, and a large number of literary and artistic works in the museum were stolen. Various famous paintings from the Renaissance period, as well as some works of art from China, disappeared.
Due to the large number and high value of the stolen items, and the mystery of the case, it simply shocked the world! News media across the United States and around the world are focusing on this appalling incident. For example, CNN broadcasts the latest news twenty-four hours a day.
After the case happened, the American police were also furious. You said it was fine for the thief to steal one or two paintings, but he took away the collection of art as if he was moving house.
Based on hindsight, the works of art probably would have filled the bed of a heavy-duty truck.
What's even more annoying is that the thief took these works of art away overnight. He also picked the most expensive works of art to steal, and he didn't want the cheap ones, which is really annoying!
This matter is so serious that even the President of the United States expressed serious concern and put pressure on the New York police to investigate the matter to the end. A bunch of mother whores in China also jumped out and shouted, "Today we are all New Yorkers."
But the headache for the New York police is that on the night when the artwork was stolen, all the security facilities of the museum were disabled. The patrol personnel suddenly fell asleep at night, even the police dogs were no exception. No one knew what happened that night?
This kind of case without the slightest clue made it impossible for the police to trace it. They searched the entire museum and only found a note with a smiling face at the gate of the museum. There is a sentence written on the note: Want to find the lost artwork? You have to be a little imaginative.
Signed is 'god'.
Americans will be driven crazy by this teasing note. This is definitely a slap in the face. The slap is loud and well-known. The obvious is to tell everyone - you don't want to catch the real thief.
The New York police were furious about this. The director himself went on TV and swore to the camera: Mr. Thief, no matter who you are, no matter where you are, no matter how superb your ability is, we will bring you to justice, God Bless America!
This remark was so loud that it attracted unanimous praise from the people of the United States. It's just that the good reviews are over, and the case still needs to be investigated slowly. What about clues?
"Chief, we found a line of invisible handwriting and an index finger print on the note." The criminal investigators of the New York Police Department reported great news.
"Writing and fingerprints?" The director felt excited that the case would be solved soon. This case has attracted wide attention. If it can be solved quickly, it will be a big show. "Can a specific suspect be traced?"
"I'm sorry, we have entered this fingerprint into our National Criminal Fingerprint Database, but no one's fingerprints have been found to match it." The appraiser gave bad news.
"It doesn't matter, this at most means that the suspect has no criminal record. But having fingerprints is a major discovery." The director was a little disappointed, but he continued to ask without being discouraged: "Then what does the invisible handwriting mean?"
"Uh..." The appraiser scratched his head and said, "Someone wrote a sentence on the back of the note with invisible ink, 'Don't say I didn't leave clues for you police, the owner who finds the fingerprints can find the stolen artwork But be careful, the owner of the fingerprint is very vicious, and the consequences of provoking him are very serious.'”
The chief of the New York Police Department immediately cursed: "Vicious? How dare he say the word 'vicious' to us New York police. This thief is too arrogant, we must catch him!" (To be continued.)
