Chapter 158: Various Affairs
The news that the factory director pushed to Chen Ming was about the progress of Xinda's antimatter technology research.
So Chen Ming immediately thought of the finished miniature antimatter reactor he had seen in the special operations team of the 14th Corps.
As he thought before, the source was Xinda.
But he didn't expect that the company had come up with results in such a short time.
Chen Ming remembered that from the time he got the antimatter technology to the time he gave it to the company, and then to today, it was less than two months in total, right?
This newspaper was only a week old.
Combined with the fact that the 14th Corps got the antimatter reactor in advance, the time when the results really came out would only be earlier.
If it was really developed by relying on the antimatter shock wave given by Chen Ming, then this scientific research technology is a bit exaggerated.
So Chen Ming thought it was not the case, it should be that Xinda had been researching antimatter for a long time.
Then after getting the antimatter shock wave, a weapon that already had a certain practical value, these antimatter technology researchers were inspired.
Then they came up with the results in a seemingly short time.
The news contents in several other academic newspapers and periodicals are basically the same, all about the research on antimatter.
It seems that Xinda Company did not hide it, but made the technology public.
It may be that other companies gave them some benefits, or the government or some other department asked Xinda Company to do so.
In short, it is impossible that Xinda Company took the initiative to give things away.
Chen Ming put down several newspapers, pointed his fingers on two cards, and looked at the factory director.
The factory director knew Chen Ming's doubts and explained, "One of these two cards is a savings card, and the other is a storage card."
"The savings card should contain 3 billion, and the storage card seems to contain the results of antimatter research, a design blueprint of a micro reactor."
"Plus a semi-finished antimatter shock wave that you brought back before, which has been modified and can be put into combat."
"All of them are the results of research using your stuff."
The factory director then looked at the newspapers that Chen Ming put down and said, "Then the company also added your name to several antimatter papers that are said to be relatively important and published them."
"Take a closer look at these newspapers. There are cited papers at the bottom, and your name should be on them."
Chen Ming just glanced at the title and brief content of the news, and didn't look at the small print carefully.
The second time he picked it up, he found that his name was really on it.
In the middle of the names of the researchers, not at the beginning or the end.
And Chen Ming remembered that these newspapers were all valuable ones in the academic world, and the research published on them was naturally very important.
Therefore, if the researcher's name could be written on them, it would be something worth promoting.
However, Chen Ming's recent social circle was not in the academic circle.
So he was not aware of the fact that his name was on these newspapers.
And he was not quite sure whether this was the company's compensation for the antimatter shock wave he brought back before? Or was it a reward?
But why did he come at this time?
And the company had already taken the initiative to give up its relationship with him before, why did it do this?
Chen Ming did not understand, so he asked: "What does the company want to do with such a strong attitude?"
The factory director shrugged and said: "You can guess it casually, the company wants to make friends with you again,"
Chen Ming sneered and said directly with a sarcastic tone: "What was the reason given by the company before? Are you not afraid of the war zone?"
The factory director did not care about Chen Ming's attitude at all. He knew that Chen Ming was targeting the company, not him.
But he still had to explain: "Because the 14th Legion is not afraid."
"Bai Quan shot the second generation arranged by the war zone in front of all the soldiers of the entire legion."
"And until now, nothing has happened, and he can even take two main battleships to go on missions. The people in the war zone dare not say a word."
"The company checked the situation. After all, they are the descendants of the high-level officials in the war zone. It is obviously unreasonable that Bai Quan, who came from the bottom, shot Bai Quan and nothing happened."
"Then the company found out that Bai Quan had a special thing in his hand, so the company decided to hold the 14th Legion in this star area during this period of time."
The factory director's words successfully aroused Chen Ming's curiosity, and he couldn't help asking: "So what is it?"
"You can understand it as privilege."
Chen Ming didn't react for a while, and asked again: "What is it?"
This time the factory director didn't act like a riddle man, and explained: "Bai Quan has a gun in his hand. It was given to him by a big shot who happened to be inspecting during his promotion ceremony to major general."
"To commend him for his great achievements in the past, which enabled him, an ordinary person with no background who rose all the way on his own, to be promoted to major general."
"Guess who it was."
"Wouldn't it be the one at the top?"
The factory director did not answer Chen Ming's question, but continued: "A total of six bullets were given to him along with this gun."
"This is the privilege."
Chen Ming suddenly understood and said: "As long as everything is allowed within the imperial law, he can rely on this gun and the six bullets to handle it, right?"
The factory director nodded and said: "The person who took over Baiquan's work after Baiquan was injured made a big mistake when commanding the battle. It was really a big problem that should be brought to the military court."
"If you give him a period of Time, the people behind him will definitely help to operate. Although he may be demoted, he will definitely not die. "
"Then Bai Quan directly used his privilege to kill him."
"It's just that Bai Quan's reason for doing this is not sure. After all, the long-term detention and killing of that person also caused the war zone to make trouble, causing chaos within the 14th Corps for several days."
"Although the people in the war zone dare not touch Bai Quan, they still dare to affect the 14th Corps."
"So the company has not understood this matter so far. If he lets the person go directly, the war zone will definitely not interfere with his normal work in the 14th Corps."
"And that person is really not worth his bullet."
The factory director and the company don't know why Bai Quan did this.
But Chen Ming is very clear.
Because this is what Bai Quan said before, he will give him an explanation.
Let the people who did those things give Chen Ming an explanation.
He wants to use this in exchange for the opportunity to continue to cooperate with Chen Ming.
Chen Ming thought that the major general was so awesome before.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no law that stipulates that a major general can kill people in public, otherwise what is the use of a military court?
So it is because Bai Quan chose to use his privilege to kill that person that he can continue to sit safely in the top position of the 14th Corps here.
Otherwise, he would have been dragged down by the furious high-level officials in the war zone.
Since Bai Quan is willing to use such things to gain Chen Ming's trust, he is indeed a person who deserves Chen Ming's trust.
At least after the previous cooperation, Chen Ming feels that his relationship with Bai Quan can be closer.
The factory manager didn't see anything from Chen Ming's face, and continued: "Anyway, that was the first shot he fired, and he still has five chances left."
"So the company decided to stick with the thigh. With the previous cooperative relationship, the company's cooperation with the 14th Legion is definitely better than the previous star zone army."
"The star zone army is already corrupt."
"Oh, by the way, Bai Quan and you should have a special relationship, right?"
Chen Ming was suddenly stunned and asked: "Why do you say that?"
"Because the company just sent people to the 14th Legion two days ago, and discussed the sales of Sky Steel after the redevelopment of other cooperation."
"Then our people who went there just saw a Yuhui cruiser following the 14th Legion's fleet back."
"It was not coerced, nor was it forcibly controlled. It just followed the 14th Legion's fleet normally, keeping a certain distance."
"You are the only one who can do this."
"So, the relationship between the company and you must be picked up again, and think about it carefully."
Chen Ming thought that Bai Quan's reason for doing things was guessed, but he didn't expect it was because of this.
"In that case, did the company know that I had a good relationship with Baiquan and had such an idea, or did they have the intention to get back on good terms with me before?"
The factory manager said without thinking: "Then they were ready to get back on good terms with you before. I have the most contact with you, so the company told me about this matter before and asked me to handle it."
"You know my situation. I can't do anything. I can't escape."
"But you also know that I can't use our relationship to do such a thing. Whether your relationship with the company is good or not does not affect our relationship."
"Then the company wants to get back on good terms with you mainly because the environment is changing. Baiquan has the privilege and ability to fight against the war zone, and he himself is also Always working."
"Although the 14th Corps was in chaos for two days, Baiquan suppressed it with tough measures."
"Then he was preparing the fleet and wanted to do something. These are all obvious."
"The company is definitely willing to invest in such a person."
"Since Baiquan and the war zone have conflicts, and you have a grudge against the war zone, it is natural to contact you again."
Chen Ming thought about it carefully and concluded: "So it's still because of Baiquan?"
The factory director thought about it and did not deny: "You can say that."
"Another reason is that the 14th Corps did not rescue you before, so you will probably not join the 14th Corps in the future, so the company has another idea."
"Anyway, you decide for yourself. Don't worry about me. I'm just helping to deliver the things and pass on the message."
Chen Ming refused without thinking too much: "Forget it."
He just wanted to maintain a normal relationship with the factory director, Lao Wu and others.
The company was like this. After all, there was the factory director, and the factory director was the descendant of the company's chairman, and might be an illegitimate child.
So Chen Ming was not completely hostile to the company, but the previous relationship could not be restored.
And Xinda Company was a force, and interests were paramount.
The company could lose face and come to him for the sake of interests.
But Chen Ming was just one person now, and he could do things according to his own preferences.
So he chose to refuse.
The factory manager was not surprised by this result, but continued to push the two cards on the desk and said, "Then these things will still be given to you, even if it is the company's compensation to you, so that you don't mind what happened before."
"Just treat it as the beginning, I mean the relationship that was more than 30 years ago, almost 40 years ago."
Chen Ming thought about the time point the factory manager was referring to and said, "That was when I just joined the company, right? You mean starting from the beginning?"
"Almost."
"Since you said so, the company's files will be transferred out later. What do you mean? Transfer to our talent pool of the Galo-2 star district government, or directly transfer you to Lao Wu? "
"Lao Wu has a colony in this star district, and it can be transferred there with official certification. I asked Lao Wu and he has no objection."
Chen Ming suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute, can it be transferred? I remember that the star district military issued a wanted order for me before, right?"
"When I saw it before, although it said that the army was taken over by the 14th Legion, the wanted order seemed to have never been removed?"
The factory director waved his hand and said: "That's not the case. It's been a long time since the 14th Legion was taken over. I have given you a wanted. "" You are still the original situation now, that is, the company's employees, so the company is afraid that you will feel trouble, and you will take the initiative to help you deal with this identity. "Chen Ming couldn't help but say," Why didn't you see them as active before? Over there, and then your company can't get it, that will definitely not play with you. "" It's different now, you are alive, and the 14th Army will support you. " "The board of directors refuted" "" The recent sessions are basically unilaterally scolding other people, and they are discussing how to make a good relationship with you. Pure interest relationships will never last long.
When his value is no longer comparable to that of others, the company may do something strange again.
Although his ability makes him confident that nothing can compare to his value.
But Chen Ming does not want to maintain this kind of relationship, so forget it.
Chen Ming did not respond to the factory director's words.
The factory director also understood Chen Ming's meaning and continued to wait for Chen Ming's response to his previous question.
Chen Ming took out the terminal and looked at his identity resume.
There were some changes from when he looked at it before.
Before, the end of the resume stopped at the mining space station and stayed there for thirty years.
It was not until recently that a few new paragraphs were added.
The general meaning is that Chen Ming was frozen and dormant for thirty years, and then he was taken back by the company and joined a research institute within the company to complete important research on antimatter technology.
The bad things that Chen Ming actually experienced during this period were skipped in the formal resume.
If Chen Ming chooses to move the file, then there should be two more lines added to the file later.
Terminate the contract with the company and then join other organizations.
Chen Ming took a look at it and closed the resume, and asked the factory manager: "It doesn't matter whether this thing is transferred or not, right?"
"It really doesn't matter, but the company's top means that they will help you clean up your mess, and you can start your relationship with the company from scratch."
After listening to the factory manager's words, Chen Ming finally made a decision: "Then keep it for me first. I may have to go in and out of the space station in the future, and it will be more convenient to have this identity."
"If possible, move my resume to the company in this space station."
Of course, Chen Ming did this for another reason besides the reason he said.
The Pirate Space Station is Chen Ming's first stop after returning to the human world, and it is also the stop where he stayed the longest.
Leaving a file resume here can also be regarded as leaving him with a thought that he is willing to come back in the future.
The factory director had no objection to this: "Okay, you can decide for yourself, but the company should be very happy."
"Then you'd better not let them be too happy too early, I'm leaving soon."
The factory director spread his hands and said nothing, but took out a few documents from the drawer and handed them to Chen Ming.
"What is this?"
"Take a look for yourself."
Chen Ming picked up the documents and flipped through them, and found that these documents that needed his signature were used to fill in some previously missing procedures.
In addition to confirming Chen Ming's resume and transferring the files, his contribution to antimatter research can also be confirmed.
Because the research related to antimatter technology involves the government's rewards for researchers who have made major scientific research results.
Now Chen Ming can be sure that this is the reason why Xinda Company made antimatter technology public, so that the Fourteenth Army also obtained the product of this technology early.
It was the government that required Xinda Company to disclose it, and gave the company enough rewards and compensation.
Basically, it's honor, status, and the most essential money.
Of course, for the institute and the company, there are also things like government investment.
As someone who signed his name in the antimatter research, Chen Ming can naturally get some of the rewards.
But Chen Ming actually only needs money now.
As for honor, it will be determined when his name is written on it.
As for status, this includes social status and actual status.
Social status is relatively unimportant.
After all, even if most ordinary people know that a person has status, at most they only know that this person is a researcher who has researched something good, and it doesn’t matter what they have researched.
Although the research on antimatter reactors is of great significance, it can free the empire’s energy supply from the constraints of spacecraft fuel.
However, it should not have such a big impact in the short term, so social status is just for fun.
But actual status is different.
First of all, the first place where antimatter reactors are applied is definitely military products.
Just like the miniature antimatter reactors that the 14th Legion got before.
Starting with military products, antimatter technology will be gradually used.
Therefore, within the empire’s top management, researchers and research institutes that have researched antimatter technology will definitely be given considerable attention.
As a result, the actual status of these researchers will be greatly improved.
Although they may not be directly recruited by the government, it is still okay to give them some idle positions in the system.
But the problem is that Chen Ming will not develop in the empire in the future.
So status is really not as good as some money.
And even if it really comes to the time when you need to have actual status to do things.
There are also a few people with high enough status among the people he knows, a second-generation company, a major general of the empire, and a top psychic.
He doesn't need to worry about having a place in the empire.
No matter who these three people are, as long as Chen Ming takes the initiative to ask them to do something, they will definitely be willing to help.
So Chen Ming does not need additional rewards, money is enough.
And this money is really useful to him.
In addition, as long as Chen Ming signs a few more documents, the company will continue to give Chen Ming a batch of money, which is considered to be Chen Ming's giving up some rights in exchange.
Chen Ming confirmed that there were no problems with these documents, and asked the factory director directly if there were any problems.
All these documents were signed.
After the factory director called someone to take all the documents away, the troublesome business was considered to be dealt with.
Chen Ming acted a little more relaxed, leaning back in his chair casually and said, "I just went to the director's office."
"Oh?"
The factory director reached out and pressed on the desk in front of him.
The office door was locked, and the surveillance in the room was also turned off.
The factory director said with some surprise: "I thought you forgot."
"That's impossible. I can't forget you even if I forget to eat."
Chen Ming leaned against the desk and said, "I just met that fat pig director, and I left something in his office."
"You can do it anytime, but it's better to wait until I leave. It should be in the next few days."
The factory director couldn't help showing a little pleasure on his face. The person who disgusted him finally didn't live for a few days.
He himself was not good at taking action against people inside, but Chen Ming was completely different.
"Thank you for your trouble."
"What's the trouble with this? I..."
Chen Ming suddenly stopped talking halfway.
In the doubt of the factory director, Chen Ming said: "I saw the director leave his office. There is no one in his office now."
"You want to..."
"Where is the terminal I gave you before?"
"Here."
The factory director took out a terminal from the drawer and handed it to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the metal liquid flowed out from his palm, covering the terminal.
He slightly modified the terminal so that it could use safer and more secretive technology to remotely control the signal.
Then, Chen Ming connected the signal of the gadget he left in the director's office to the terminal.
And he directly remotely transformed this gadget into a micro robot.
The video sent back by the micro robot's camera was clearly displayed on the terminal.
