Chapter 658: Betrayal

"Damn it, how can I understand these things?" Lincoln flipped through the stack of manuscripts in his hand. He understood most of the words, but he couldn't understand them all together, and there were many professional words and abbreviations that he couldn't even read. Understand.

As an agent sent by the CIA to keep an eye on Professor Alonzo, Lincoln led a team of four to work in Japan for almost two months. He originally thought that this was just the use of the DuPont consortium's relationship to let him look at the important figures who invested billions of dollars in the consortium.

During this time in Tokyo, Lincoln slowly relaxed the restrictions on professors. He didn't understand the other party's work at all, and he couldn't even follow up on what the other party said. As for restricting the other party's actions, the old man never left after entering the University of Tokyo.

But the seemingly ordinary scene is completely different because of the escape of a chimpanzee!

Just after the chimpanzee played a violent show at the Tokyo Tower, more than a dozen calls came to Lincoln's cell phone in less than three hours, and each of these people had a bigger background. At first, he was the internal director of the CIA, and soon the DuPont consortium, the Department of Defense, and even the Office of the President came to inquire.

A vice president of the DuPont consortium even yelled at Lincoln, saying why he hadn't discovered Professor Alonzo's amazing research results earlier?

"F*ck, am I a biochemist? How do I know what that old man is researching?" Lincoln held back his anger, but could only rush to the hospital where Professor Alonzo was with his staff. In the past few days, he hooked up with a Japanese girl, and he was suspected of dereliction of duty.

Professor Alonzo's office is an affiliated hospital of the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Medicine, and there are already American agents guarding the door of the ward. Even the US military stationed in Japan at the Yokohama base sent people to help. It is said that the Ministry of Defense is very interested in the professor's research.

Super soldiers, who wouldn't be interested?

The hospital was already heavily guarded, and Lincoln showed his CIA sign before entering. When he reached the door of the ward, he asked the subordinate guarding the door, "How is the professor?"

"He was hit on the head, but the doctor said that the condition is still stable and there is nothing serious. He is awake now, but he is not willing to talk to people." The subordinate said.

Lincoln nodded, pushed the door open and entered. There are other guards in the room, as well as caregivers specially transferred from the US military base. And Professor Alonzo is eating dinner, turning a blind eye to the people around him.

"Professor, congratulations!" Lincoln pulled up a chair and sat by the hospital bed, wanting to shake hands with the professor to congratulate him, but the other party ignored him.

Although it was a bit self-defeating, Lincoln was used to it. Now the other party can be said to be in full swing, and all research institutions around the world are trying to contact this eccentric old man,

A lot of intelligence personnel want to get something from this old man, even a few words are precious.

"Professor, did you know? The President just proposed that you be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in recognition of your contribution to the United States. As a result, Congress told him that it was only awarded to soldiers." Lincoln joked.

Professor Alonzo pushed away the dinner plate in front of him, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and then continued to say proudly with a cold face: "I deserve any honor."

"Of course, of course, it's amazing to see a huge improvement in the intelligence and physical fitness of chimpanzees. I just came out of your chimpanzee breeding room, and the remaining eleven chimps showed frightening... ability.

Yes, horror is the only word I can use. At first I thought it was fun, but then I thought... "

Lincoln couldn't find any words to describe his feeling at that time, it was really not a good feeling. Professor Alonzo said with a mocking smile: "I am worried that one day I will be dominated or even surpassed by a group of chimpanzees, right?"

"Uh..., yes, yes." Lincoln felt that he had chosen a bad topic. To be honest, he really felt the horror of biochemists today. Ordinary weapons can only kill hundreds or even thousands of people, but these top scholars can change the entire human being and the entire world.

"The Department of Defense has ordered a complete lockdown of your laboratory to ensure that no information is leaked out. We have had a hard time removing those chimpanzees from the enclosure and they will all be shipped back to the United States.

By the way, the Ministry of Defense also made a request to the DuPont consortium, saying that it hopes to spend two billion US dollars to buy the ownership of all your previous research results, and that it will immediately pass an additional budget of no less than one billion US dollars, completely at your disposal .

As a result, the DuPont consortium refused without hesitation, and said that it would invest another two billion US dollars to further develop your NTZ project and give you the greatest degree of freedom. That is to say, you don't have to worry about running out of funds, and you don't have to worry about being forced to achieve results. "

No one cared about Professor Alonzo's procrastination in the NTZ project over the past ten years, let alone why he went to Japan to do this project. Now everyone just wants to get the professor back from Japan.

Lincoln talked and laughed, and he was still sighing in his heart: the top scholars are really lucky, and they can get a lot of funds in exchange for a result. Now the ownership of the NTZ project has been submitted to Congress for discussion.

The U.S. Congress reached a consensus on supporting the follow-up development of Professor Alonzo, and some people even asked to investigate the DuPont consortium's persecution of the professor, which actually caused such a great scientist to go to Japan to achieve results.

Crazy, really crazy!

Except for the escaped chimpanzee, the remaining eleven chimpanzees all looked healthy. Lincoln shot a lot of videos about these chimpanzees' intelligence and physical enhancement. The high-ranking officials in the U.S. Congress and the Department of Defense almost burst after seeing them.

This kind of scene that only exists in movies actually happened in reality, and everyone was moved by it. Especially after learning about Professor Alonzo's injury, the gentlemen in Congress immediately requested that this "treasure of America" ​​be shipped back to the country if his physical condition allowed.

"Professor, in order to show his importance to you, Mr. President specially sent his special plane here, and the escorts have been prepared at the airport. The doctor said that you are in good health, so you must return home immediately." Lincoln said, he was actually a little Worried that the stubborn old man would not leave.

However, Professor Alonzo readily agreed, but he asked further, "Is the safety work done?"

"Of course, your safety is absolutely guaranteed." Lincoln said in his heart: Do you need to ask?

"I hope you can assume that there is a possibility of extremely violent terrorists attacking me, and make arrangements for this situation." Professor Alonzo said seriously.

Lincoln was very surprised, and asked: "Do you think someone will hurt you?"

"You don't need to know too much. What you get in the laboratory is not the most important thing. The important details of the NTZ project are all in my head." Professor Alonzo's eyes were cold, "As long as you keep me safe Just go back to America."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Lincoln nodded and agreed without hesitation. And when he walked out of the ward, he immediately contacted the Langley headquarters of the CIA, "Director, this is Lincoln. I'm afraid Professor Alonzo is hiding something from us. He just told me that he was worried that someone might threaten his safety."
