Chapter 257 Open Source Intelligence
And just when Lin Shuya was awarded as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Handong University has directly closed the comment section on its official accounts on various social platforms, as well as on each video or public account article it publishes.
Obviously they know that if Lin Shuya really gets the status of academician, those netizens who are not afraid of trouble will definitely make sarcastic comments and messages.
Therefore, the comment section was closed in advance.
However, this behavior of covering up one's own faults has been looked down upon by more netizens. Many people deliberately posted videos with titles such as "Handong University Message Board" and "Handong University Comment Area".
Soon after, a large number of netizens rushed in and started to speak sarcastically about Handong University.
In the comments section of one of the videos.
Zhelimu Khan's personal bodyguard: [@Handong University, congratulations to your outstanding student Lin Shuya for becoming an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering]
Boston Square Face: [@Handong University, are you happy? ]
New humans will win: [@Handong University, today is a really good day. 】
Brain hole opens Machang Gong: [Good news, good news, Yulin protein has been approved and will be carried out in 50 public hospitals across the country. Large-scale clinical trials, I wonder if Guan Yulin is qualified to be an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering? (ω)]
When the stars shine: [@脑洞大开马厂公, from the clinical test results published so far, Yulin protein has effectively cured 37 cancer patients. If this achievement cannot make you an academician, then who can? ]
Meng Meng who mastered the shock wave: [Two academicians! Why don’t you come and claim them? If you don’t come, other schools will have to snatch them away. ]
Jinling University: [Congratulations to our outstanding alumnus Dr. Guan Yulin for receiving the title of Distinguished Professor and Honorary Doctor of our university. ]
I am Ajin: [Lion Rock Agricultural University made a fortune, gaining two academician-level alumni at once. ]
This is not a big deal: [I went to the Hailufeng factory a few days ago. It is definitely the best managed food factory I have ever seen. ]
All kinds of sarcastic comments soon flooded the videos of these imitation accounts.
Even when Handong University mobilized students to report the incident on various video sites and social media platforms, it was not suppressed.
Instead, it was students within Handong University who secretly exposed the incident, causing it to quickly become a hot topic. Combined with other related events, these matters soon became heated up again.
The students who were previously bullied by Du Bolun and his son have become active on the Internet again. After all, this is the era of traffic.
These students have already graduated, so naturally they would not give face. Besides, the Du father and son were already rats crossing the street, so many students deliberately added fuel to the fire and even deliberately made up stories.
Many people want to take advantage of someone's misfortune, so they will naturally choose to add insult to injury and try their best to establish themselves as victims. This will attract traffic and make it easier for them to sell goods and realize cash in in the future.
Of course, apart from these things, they are actually just a small part of the Internet's popularity in recent days.
The real attention is actually focused on Jiang Miao and his wife, including the relevant achievements they have obtained, the unknown biological theory, and the discussion on biotechnology.
As for the feud between Handong University and Lin Shuya, Guan Yulin and others, only a few people who like to stir up trouble are paying attention to it.
When Handong University saw that the situation on the Internet was getting worse and worse, it simply chose to lie down and act like an ostrich, not responding to any of these things and pretending that it had not seen or heard anything.
In fact, this is the more appropriate way to deal with it. Other ways will either make the situation worse or they will be too embarrassed to do so.
Unless they can humble themselves, take the initiative to apologize to Lin Shuya, Guan Yulin and others, and give a thorough and reasonable explanation for what happened before, they can only deal with it coldly like this.
In fact, Lin Shuya doesn’t care about this kind of thing at all.
After all, the culprits, the Du family father and son, have received the punishment they deserve, and the rest of the things are no longer important.
at the same time.
Near San Francisco, America.
Inside a secret underground base.
"How's the investigation going? What about the information on the biological theory?"
Hearing this, Robert, who dared not to speak, replied cautiously: "Director, at present, we can only confirm that such a theoretical model exists and has been put into use, but we have not yet investigated where the system derived from this theoretical model is specifically placed."
“Does this require investigation?”
There was contempt and anger in that tone.
Gulp! Robert swallowed slightly, then explained: "Director, the research base at the headquarters of Hailufeng Company should not have this system, because the other party must know that we will focus on infiltrating here."
"Humph, the result of your infiltration is to kill one person after another? I doubt your ability to do the job!"
Robert was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat off his face calmly and replied awkwardly, "It's mainly because the security system of Hailufeng Company is too strict, and they hardly accept any returned scholars or technicians with overseas study backgrounds."
"That's not an excuse. No one is unbribeable. Even if you can't bribe the researchers inside, can't you bribe the researchers' relatives?"
Another bald guy immediately defended himself: "Director Sean, Hailufeng requires that the immediate family members of all researchers must live in designated areas, and are not allowed to go abroad at will. We can't contact these people at all."
Hearing this, Sean's eyes narrowed, but he did not take it out on his subordinates because what they said were objective reasons.
After thinking for a while, Sean ordered in a low voice: "Keep increasing your efforts and find a way to obtain this technology. This is related to the future of America." "Yes." Robert and the bald man replied with their heads held high.
"Go down!"
"Yes."
Looking at the two people leaving, Sean rubbed his temples, thinking about how to explain to the boss behind the scenes.
What he said just now about it being related to America's future was actually just empty talk. The real reason was that the various large conglomerates and the big families behind them hoped to obtain this technology to achieve some unknown purposes.
After thinking it over, he still felt that he couldn't just report it dryly, so Sean picked up the phone and called the head of the open source intelligence analysis team over.
Half an hour later.
A blond middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and holding a briefcase under his arm knocked on the door.
"Good evening, Mr. Sean."
"Joseph, sit down! I hope you can bring me some good news, otherwise I will have a bad night!" Sean poured the other person a cup of black coffee.
Needham put down the file bag and raised the corners of his mouth: "Mr. Sean, I do have some good news."
"Say it!"
Needham put in eight sugar cubes and stirred the black coffee while he slowly said, "The first one is about Seris's purchase of mercury ore from Spain and Italy some time ago."
"This matter? What findings?" Sean frowned.
Joseph Needham narrowed his eyes and said, "Although there is no direct evidence, based on some previous situations, we can basically confirm that these mercury mines may have been secretly purchased by Hailufeng Company?"
"Oh? What's the reason?"
"Does Mr. Sean know Dr. Jiang's habits?"
"Habit?" Sean recalled the information related to Jiang Miao.
"He has a good habit, which is that he pays great attention to environmental protection. Therefore, the residents around his business have a very good opinion of him." Joseph Needham picked up the coffee and took a sip.
Sean was puzzled: "What's wrong with this habit?"
"Haha, mercury ore is a highly polluting mineral that is not very good for the environment. The companies that purchased mercury ore this time paid great attention to this aspect. They have established very comprehensive isolation measures for their ore storage locations."
"Is that so?" Sean now somewhat agreed with Needham's judgment.
"If only one company did this, it could be explained as coincidence. But if several companies did this, and these companies currently have no other businesses and simply purchase mercury ore from the international market, this can only mean one thing, that is, their boss behind the scenes is one person."
Sean has worked in the intelligence system for so many years that he is very sensitive to this kind of situation. He can basically confirm the accuracy of this intelligence at once. He looked at him in doubt and asked, "Why did Hailufeng Company buy so much mercury ore?"
Joseph Needham put down his coffee cup and said, "From the fact that Hailufeng Company purchased mercury ore in such a covert way, this mineral may be very important to them. After all, in order to avoid the problem of borax imports, they developed an alternative technology in a short period of time. Now they use this method to purchase in secret, which can only mean that this mineral cannot be replaced for the time being."
"Very good, no matter what they want to do with the mercury mine, we can't let them have their way." Sean wrote this down in the memo and asked the boss behind the scenes to destroy the main channel for Hailufeng Company to obtain the mercury mine.
Seeing Sean finish his notes, Needham picked up the file bag and pulled out a document: "The second discovery is this."
Sean took the document, browsed two pages, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
On the cover of the document, it is clearly written “Market Forecast Report on Iron Ore and Bauxite”.
"We have cooperated with scholars from several think tanks and found that Hailufeng Company is using silicon filament materials to produce various products, including auto parts, airships, containers, and buildings. These products will replace a large part of steel and aluminum alloys, which will indirectly lead to a continuous decline in the demand for iron ore and bauxite in Seres."
“Is it really replaceable?”
"There is no doubt about that. Although we have no way to bring the samples back, we can still do some research in Seris through some channels."
Sean's expression became more and more solemn, and he continued to look through the research report on the file.
Judging from the current performance of silicon filament materials, the production cost of this thing is very low. It is estimated that ordinary type of silicon filament costs only 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per ton.
It looks taller than steel, but don't forget that this thing has a relatively low density and very high strength. Under similar strength standards, silicon bean silk only requires one-tenth of the weight of steel, and its structural strength can basically meet the needs.
Therefore, it can effectively replace steel, aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, and glass fiber, and can also achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
As a result, Seris's demand for steel and aluminum alloys will drop significantly.
Coupled with the huge scrap steel resources generated by large-scale iron and steel smelting in recent years, this means that Seres can realize the internal circulation of steel and aluminum alloys at any time without obtaining mineral supplements from the outside.
Moreover, as the iron ore and bauxite channels in the international market become increasingly unstable, this will force Seris to promote silicon filaments to replace other materials.
"We're in trouble. Damn it! Damn Hailufeng Company! Damn Jiang Miao!" Sean cursed as he watched.
However, Needham was very calm. He continued, "The third discovery is about seawater desalination. The new technology of Hailufeng Company can already achieve low-cost seawater desalination. In the future, the water shortage in the northern coastal areas of East Asia will be solved by this technology."
Sean put down the document and sighed helplessly: "Huh... Why wasn't this kind of genius born in America?"
