Chapter 41: Professor Raymond? There’s No Such Person!
Hearing his own consultant Professor Nelson’s words, Ethan was also stunned.
You don’t know him?
Aren’t you known as the national expert in physics and materials science? A professor who could develop such a thing should at least be at the same level as you, right?
How could you not know him?
Thinking of this, Ethan couldn’t help but ask, “You really don’t know him?”
Professor Nelson was also dumbfounded. Logically speaking, such research results and theories should be very mature. They were all very mature scientists.
He had read all kinds of journals for so many years, but he really didn’t have any impression.
Nodding blankly, Professor Nelson said, “I really don’t know him.”
Seeing Nelson’s affirmative expression, Ethan began to believe him.
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
7.26 am.
Although it was already past seven in the morning, he remembered that Hansen and the others had come overnight and had only rested for a few hours.
Ethan picked up his phone and did not know if he should make this call.
He held his phone and walked around the room.
“Forget it…”
After thinking for a long time, he put his phone down, he said to everyone below, “I don’t know the real ident.i.ty of the main researcher, Professor Raymond, but can you verify the information in this doc.u.ment…”
After saying that, he looked at the people below with antic.i.p.ation. He was too embarra.s.sed to wake Hansen and the others up from their sleep.
Feeling the gaze of the Director of the Department of Defense, Ethan, Nelson and the others felt a lot of pressure because the things inside were all synthesized using a new method.
They really did not know much about this new method. It could even be said that they did not know anything about it. However, if they rejected the people from the Department of Defense without even trying…
His research funding next year would probably be reduced by more than half!
“Let’s try our best…”
Thinking of this, Nelson could only brace himself and agree.
Although he had agreed to carry out the experiment, he still did not dare to use a certain tone because their confidence was really not high.
Seeing that Professor Nelson had agreed, Ethan finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, he turned around and left.
He wanted to return to the lounge, so that when Hansen and the others woke up, they could see him.
Professor Nelson sighed. There was nothing they could do. They could only brace themselves and carry on.
He picked up the data in his hand and looked at it carefully. Then, he turned around and said to the others, “Come on, let’s use this data as an experiment guide. Let’s restore this experiment. Turn on the instrument first and start preparing for the experiment…”
The researchers below were full of doubts and did not know how to conduct the experiment.
One of the researchers asked, “Professor Nelson, what should we prepare for the experiment? The type of materials?”
“According to the information on this doc.u.ment… I don’t know what’s inside. There’s still one thing I don’t understand!”
Professor Nelson handed the doc.u.ment in his hand to the others and walked out of the laboratory.
The staff in the research room looked at each other, then looked at each other and shrugged. They began to obediently start the experiment materials.
After Professor Nelson came out, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Pa–
He lit the cigarette in his hand with a lighter and started to smoke.
“Hu-”
He finished smoking a cigarette completely, took out his cell phone from his other pocket, and started to press the b.u.t.ton.
Beep– Beep–
The phone rang twice before it was picked up.
“h.e.l.lo? Nelson? Is that you? Nelson…”
Nelson picked up the phone and said, “It’s me, old friend.”
“Why are you calling me today? Do you want to treat me to a meal?”
Nelson didn’t look like he was joking at all, and his tone was serious.
“Listen, Hamilton. I’m asking you now. Is there a Professor Raymond from the Physics Department in your school? This is very important.”
On the other side, Hamilton heard Nelson’s tone and was also a little puzzled.
But he still answered honestly.
“No, my friend. Professor Raymond? As a tenured professor at West Point, I have to vote for the appointment of every professor at West Point. I’ve never heard of a professor named Raymond.
“What’s wrong? Did a guy named Raymond trick you? Was he pretending to be a professor at West Point? Is that so, my friend?”
Nelson was also very confused after hearing his answer. Still no? But the information clearly said West Point: Raymond.
“No, no. I was not deceived by anyone. On the contrary, I really want to know this Professor Raymond. His research is outstanding. It can even change the current international situation of the United States…”
“What? So powerful? But I really haven’t heard of this person at West Point.”
Nelson heard Hamilton’s doubt, he said excitedly, “Yes, it’s really so powerful. Even the Department of Defense… I’m sorry, I can’t tell you the rest. I’m not qualified to tell anyone. Actually, calling you today was already a little against the rules. Okay, since you don’t know me, I’ll hang up.”
Beep, beep, beep–
With that, Nelson hung up the phone.
He turned around and returned to the lab behind him.
However, Professor Hamilton, who was far away at West Point, looked at the notification on his phone and was a little dumbfounded.
How did he hang up just like that?
Could it be that his old friend who had called for so many years was asking about these things?
He hasn’t asked me how my body is. He hasn’t had the chance to ask him how his body is.
But he still remembered one thing! That early this morning, a helicopter flew into the school. It flew directly to Professor Hansen’s laboratory.
Oh right! Professor Hansen also seems to be in the Physics Department.
“Could it be that Professor Hansen’s research has made significant progress? That must be a big, important project! Even that old guy, Nelson, was alarmed. He thought of calling me so early in the morning…” Hamilton said to himself with a thoughtful expression on his face.
…
At this time, in Raymond’s temporary exclusive dormitory in the Department of Defense.
Raymond knew that he couldn’t walk around freely, so he returned to his resting place.
Although he had powerful mental strength, he was still a little tired after doing a lot of calculations for a few nights.
Soon, he fell asleep in the resting room of the Department of Defense.
However, he didn’t know that he had already changed from a West Point student to an expert in the field of physics and material chemistry, Professor Raymond, in the middle of spreading the news.
And many researchers had begun to be curious about this mysterious Professor Raymond.
