Chapter 1218: Give Them a Lesson
An invisible dark cloud was floating in the sky above the ILHCRC.
Almost everyone’s mood was affected by this incident.
People from all over the world who believed in the spirit of the universe pretended to be tourists and began to gather in Shanghai. They came to the ILHCRC and began to protest.
When the officials finally realized something was wrong, the protests had already blocked the nearby roads.
These tourists from all over the world stood in front of the ILHCRC entrance and put up signs filled with “protest”, “stop the experiments”, “murderers”, etc, as well as distasteful images.
This ma.s.s protest obviously did not escape the eyes of the media.
The police force had not yet come to the scene. A BBC reporter walked into the crowd with a microphone in his hand. The reporter grabbed a protester who was nearly 60 years old.
“h.e.l.lo, what are you protesting about?”
The old man said angrily, “Isn’t this obvious? The ILHCRC must stop immediately! Now! They should stop their crazy behavior! Shut down their experiment facility on the moon permanently!”
The BBC reporter immediately put the microphone closer.
“Crazy behavior?”
The old man’s face was red as he angrily exclaimed, “The collider! What they did in Europe is not enough? Don’t think I haven’t read the news. They used a collider to create a small black hole in the ground at the border of France and Switzerland! Now they made an even bigger collider, and even put it on the moon… They have created even more trouble!”
“More trouble?” The BBC reporter became serious. He said, “What can be worse than a black hole?”
“Yes, they have released matter from the virtual realm that does not belong to this world. The matter is from the spirit of the universe! Our civilization is in a corner of the galaxy, and no one has noticed us. But now, they have reached their dirty little hands to the land of the G.o.ds!
“This is disrespectful to the spirit of the universe! This is blasphemy against the great consciousness!”
BBC reporter: “Excuse me… What is the spirit of the universe?”
The old man said angrily, “I can’t explain it to you clearly. You should read the works of Professor Galette Miro!
“We are going to stop these savages at the ILHCRC!”
…
Obviously, the protester did not realize who was the real savage.
The ILHCRC press conference ended right after the old man’s interview. A group of people emerged from the building’s back door.
A blonde lady who was holding a microphone in her hand walked quickly behind Professor Wilczek and asked relentlessly, “h.e.l.lo, Professor Wilczek. As a n.o.bel Prize winner, what do you think about the protests of the people who claim to be believers of the spirit of the universe and are against the ILHCRC experiments?”
Wilczek was annoyed. He finally stopped walking and looked angrily at the reporter, as well as the cameraman.
“What do I think?
“When we were in Switzerland, we had to clean up the mess before every experiment. Some idiot engineers would always expose themselves to strong radiation. Thankfully, the Chinese built a collider on the moon, saving many lives!
“At the very least, we don’t have to play hide and seek with a bunch of idiots in the collider tunnel!”
The blonde female reporter frowned and said, “Sorry, are you saying that… the protesters’ behavior is very stupid?”
“Of course.” Professor Wilczek laughed angrily and said, “Why are there no Chinese people in the protests? I suggest these idiots find a quiet place to receive some education.”
After the reporter went away, Wilczek angrily returned to his office and slammed the door.
However, he suddenly discovered that there was another person standing in his office.
“Professor Lu?” He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Zhou standing by the window. Wilczek asked, “What brings you here? When did you get here?”
“About ten minutes ago.” Lu Zhou looked at the crowd outside the window. He closed the window blinds and looked at Professor Wilczek. He said, “Your a.s.sistant told me that you will be back soon, so I decided to wait here. How is it going? Did those reporters make things difficult for you at the press conference?”
“Make things difficult? Haha, it’s not just making things difficult, it was torture. You should see the stupid questions they asked!”
Wilczek threw his hat on the coat hanger and sat on the sofa. He said angrily, “Do they really understand Galette Miro’s paper? Look at those people. What are they asking for, to suspend the experiment? If Galette Miro were still alive, he would laugh at their stupidity.”
Lu Zhou: “Not necessarily, maybe this is what he wanted.”
Wilczek was taken aback for a moment. He frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
Lu Zhou said, “I have read his papers and blogs, all of it.”
Professor Wilczek said in disbelief, “You actually finished reading that nonsense?”
Lu Zhou: “I think it’s foolish to draw conclusions without a good understanding.”
“That depends on the hypothesis.” Wilczek picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of black tea. He took a sip and asked, “Speaking of which, how is the research going?”
Lu Zhou: “It’s done.”
Professor Wilczek nearly spat out the tea in his mouth as he stared at Lu Zhou with his eyes wide open.
“Done? So you know where the extra ma.s.s comes from?”
“Sort of.”
Lu Zhou looked at the astonished Professor Wilczek and smiled. He said, “Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to you.”
Wilczek was about to ask where the extra ma.s.s came from, but Lu Zhou, who was looking outside the window, spoke first.
“Can we remove those people outside?”
This question shocked Wilczek.
It wasn’t because of the sentence itself, but rather, Wilczek didn’t notice that there was someone else standing in his office.
It felt like this person was invisible this whole time!
“The reinforcements will arrive in about two minutes.” w.a.n.g Peng looked at his watch and said, “Of course, if you wish, we can remove them right now.”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “The reinforcements are already on the way, so let’s wait for them to come. By the way… Remember to arrest the loudest protesters.”
w.a.n.g Peng: “No problem, what are you going to do to them?”
“I’m not doing anything to them.” Lu Zhou smiled and said, “I just want to invite them to a physics lecture.”
