Chapter 39 Asking for Leave
That is, travel through time again!
He roughly felt the power of time and space in his body. Although it was already in an unsaturated state from the feedback during the meal.
But it was far from the level of "hunger".
So, traveling through time once is completely feasible!
However, he cannot travel through time here.
Because he cannot determine the speed of time flow between the two worlds.
If he stays there for a while, ten days, half a month, or even a year and a half will pass here, then his secret will be directly exposed!
The safest way is to leave this base temporarily!
It just so happened that he was put in solitary confinement because of an accident.
Although theoretically, he needs to stay in this base and cannot go out or go to the institute.
But if he finds his mentor Dr. Liao to communicate well, he may be able to take a relatively long vacation.
Of course, some people will think, isn't it good to resign directly?
The answer is of course not.
Let alone Dr. Liao is his postgraduate mentor, this institute job is directly related to his degree, and even some things that are closely related to him cannot be separated from here.
The spider that bit him and the stone slab that seemed to have traces of artificial carving were all in this base.
If he left here, he would never have the chance to touch them again.
He might also completely lose the chance to find out the secrets of himself!
Do it when you think of it.
Bid took out a notebook and a pen, and wrote the words "application" neatly on the notebook:
I am Bid, an intern researcher. Recently, I caused serious sample contamination due to improper operation. Here, I hope to temporarily leave the base for a period of one month. I hope to be approved.
As an excellent three-good student, Bid has never written a few leave notes since he was a child. Bid held it in for a long time before he reluctantly wrote it.
After writing, Bid tore off this page and waited for Dr. Liao to return from the institute in the evening to give it to him.
Bid was 70% sure whether he would agree to his leave.
There should be five or six hours before Dr. Liao came back in the evening.
Except for a few specific devices in this base, other devices cannot be connected to the Internet.
So during this time, Bid decided to re-watch all the Spider-Man movies downloaded on the hard drive!
With 1.5x speed turned on, Bid's enhanced brain could still easily keep up with the pace.
His thinking was obviously much more flexible than before.
At this speed, simultaneous translation can be achieved, and there is no need to read subtitles for the full version.
In one afternoon, Bid finished watching Toby Spider 2 and 3 and Super Spider 1.
Then, he closed the computer, opened the door, and waited for Dr. Liao to come back.
Dr. Liao's room was just across from Bid.
Although Dr. Liao was highly respected and a veteran in the domestic astronomical community, the older generation was famous for their hard work.
His living conditions were not much better than Bid, an intern researcher.
At most, considering the climate here, the old man was slightly more comfortable.
However, Bid waited for several hours.
It was not until about 11 o'clock in the evening that Dr. Liao returned to the accommodation area with a group of researchers.
"There will definitely be a major discovery this time!" said a middle-aged researcher.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the soil composition of Mars is so similar to that of Earth! Mars may have really existed," said another researcher.
However, when several people saw Bid standing at the door, they all shut up.
Dr. Liao looked at Bid, asked the others to go back to their rooms, and then waved to Bid.
After entering Dr. Liao's room and closing the door, Bid handed over his application and leave slip.
Dr. Liao took it, looked at it for a few times, and slapped it on the table, his voice old but sonorous: "Are you angry?"
Bid shook his head: "I know that the teacher is doing this for my good, but I am really too bored staying in the base during this period, so I want to go out and relax."
Bid's words were too pale, and Dr. Liao felt more and more that his extremely optimistic disciple was angry with him.
Because of his excellent grades and his ambition, Dr. Liao has always favored Bid.
Let me give you a simple example.
Generally speaking, a leading figure in a certain field in China like Dr. Liao will not accept graduate students.
You should know that among Dr. Liao's students, except for Bi De who is a graduate student in his twenties, the youngest of the other seniors is already in his early thirties, and each of them is a doctoral student!
The relationship between a mentor and a student is actually like the relationship between a boss and an employee in the workplace.
The mentor holds the power of life and death over whether a student can graduate, so sometimes you will see in the news that some mentors ask graduate students to help him with chores, walk the dog, pet the cat, etc.
However, if you are good enough, your mentor will naturally favor you.
From the perspective of interests, you have this value and can create enough benefits for him. No one will go against interests.
From an emotional point of view, which one do you prefer, a useful subordinate or a mediocre subordinate?
Moreover.
The boss's company is in the high-tech field. If the employee is not knowledgeable enough and has no effect at all, what is he doing here?
Bi De happened to be that "useful subordinate", and a "promising subordinate" in Dr. Liao's eyes.
He has always regarded Bi De as his successor.
He even values him more than those disciples who have been taught by him for many years and have now become independent!
So he will be extra tolerant.
Even if Bi De accidentally broke the precious Martian soil sample, he suppressed it for him.
Two weeks of confinement, compared with the impact of this incident, is already negligible.
But he chose to escape!
Dr. Liao's chest rose and fell.
Bi De was quick to help him and let him sit on the bed.
"Teacher, drink some water."
Dr. Liao took the cup and drank it all. Looking at Bi De's obedient appearance, he said angrily: "Could such a small setback defeat you? Teacher, what didn't I experience back then? I was dismissed from my post and exiled to the countryside to raise cattle for more than ten years!"
Bi De didn't speak.
"Aren't you curious about why my left hand is like this?" Dr. Liao raised his left hand, and the ring finger and thumb were both broken. "That was when the cow bit them off!"
Bi De looked at Dr. Liao's broken palm and still didn't say a word.
Dr. Liao's tone slowed down a little, and he said earnestly: "We who do scientific research must not only have a spirit of truth-seeking and knowledge-seeking in science, but also be tenacious, so that we can go far on the road of scientific research! Do you understand?"
