Chapter 80: Raymond’s Blueprint… Do you understand it?
The people from the Russian s.p.a.ce agency were dumbfounded.
The scientists from Naxi couldn’t understand it either.
“Professor McLean, do you have any ideas?”
A doctor in his 60s looked at the man beside him.
This man wasn’t tall, but he looked to be in his 40s.
He was not ashamed to be called a professor by a doctor in his sixties.
It seemed only natural.
Moreover, the other scientists in the conference hall seemed to take it as a given.
They all looked at McLean.
McLean was not particularly popular, because he did not like to be known by many people.
Only the n.a.z.is knew his strength.
Over the past few years, he had written dozens of papers on rockets, s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, and s.p.a.ce stations.
McLean was clearly very capable.
But he didn’t seem to hear his student’s words.
He looked carefully at Raymond’s hand, antic.i.p.ating where he would draw it next.
Raymond did not seem to pause to ponder or survey his work in progress.
It seemed that he already had the answer in his heart, and was drawing it just to engrave the idea into reality.
So when Raymond drew the blueprint, his hand didn’t stop at all.
It was very fast.
For the first few minutes, McLean still had a bit of doubt.
In the next minute, he almost understood Raymond’s idea.
Now, new doubts arose.
So at that moment, McLean was focused on Raymond on the screen.
He hoped that the next minute would give him an answer.
But this time.
This doubt could no longer be answered by Raymond’s drawing.
“What’s going on? What does this circuit mean…”
Mcclaren scratched his remaining hair.
“What? Why is there another… this… what is this?”
At first, McLean could still understand Raymond’s blueprint.
But now, he had more and more questions.
Just like in math cla.s.s, once he was distracted, he wouldn’t be able to understand what the teacher behind him said.
“What, what, what? What is all this?”
McLean’s voice sounded a little pained.
The scientists at the side didn’t know what to do either.
In the past, no matter what experiments McLean did or what papers he wrote, he seemed to be very confident.
Every time, he would lead everyone to breakthrough one difficult problem after another.
Even if he encountered a problem, he only needed to think quietly, and it wouldn’t take long for him to give an answer.
But this time, Raymond’s blueprint actually stumped him.
Stumped!
Moreover, it made him lose his composure in front of everyone for the first time.
This was also the first time they had seen McLean like this.
They did not know how to deal with it at all.
“No, no, no! I have to calm down, calm down!”
McLean forced himself to calm down.
“Moselu, save this video. Make ten copies!”
“Yes sir!”
After giving his instructions, McLean immediately left the meeting hall.
When he returned to his office, he immediately picked up his phone.
Then, he slowly put it down.
He turned on his computer and looked at Joseph’s communication profile picture. He did not know if he should call him.
Joseph belonged to Russia.
McLean belonged to the United States.
However, both of them were elites in this area.
While the two of them had common topics to talk about, the others couldn’t even get a word in edgewise.
Of course, now there was another Raymond.
Raymond was stronger than the two of them combined.
But they couldn’t get in touch.
Although science had no borders, scientists had borders.
‘If I video call him…’
‘My superiors won’t say much about me, but… will Joseph think that I’m inferior to him?’
‘sigh…’
McLean was a little conflicted.
‘Forget it, who cares what he thinks? Getting an answer is the most important thing.’
After making up his mind, McLean immediately turned on the computer monitor.
This step was necessary to talk to Joseph.
But just as McLean turned on the monitor, Joseph called him.
“Hahaha! Looks like he doesn’t understand it either!”
“No rush, no rush. Let’s wait for two minutes.”
Seeing that it was almost time, McLean leisurely picked up the call.
“Why did you take so long to get through? Where have you been?”
Joseph immediately started questioning him.
McLean did not care about his questioning at all. He slightly raised his head and smiled mockingly. “Why? Did you run into a problem?”
“Hehe, you know very well what it is. Raymond drew the blueprint. Did you understand it?”
Joseph was bold. He did not stop to blush or look sheepish and directly brought the question to the crucial point.
“To be honest, it was indeed a little difficult. It made me think for ten minutes…”
McLean did not turn red when he lied.
Joseph was startled. “You understood it? It can’t be!”
“What? You didn’t understand it?” McLean raised his eyebrows and looked at Joseph on the screen. He found it particularly interesting.
He should have thought of it earlier. Joseph’s ability was similar to his.
He probably couldn’t understand what I couldn’t understand either.
It was about the same.
He didn’t know how Raymond’s brain had grown.
If I was a medical student, I would have opened his skull to take a look.
“Well, there was a problem alright? Actually, it’s not a big problem!”
“Since it’s not a big problem, I’ll hang up now…”
McLean did not stick around. He spoke very bluntly as if he had already understood everything.
“No, no, no! About that, I won’t beat around the bush. Tell me first…”
Joseph immediately wanted to know the answer, so he did not care about his pride any longer.
“Say it directly? Why should I?”
“Hey, when I hear it and understand its value, I will naturally compensate you!”
“Don’t, this technology can not be compensated with anything. If you don’t show me something practical, I won’t tell you.”
“Hey!” Joseph was displeased. “I say, McLean, is it that dangerous?”
McLean was displeased. “F*ck, you never even shared the spectroscopic technology that you owed me last time, and now you want me to just give it to you?”
“Ahhh, I was so busy that I forgot. When you tell me, I’ll give it to you immediately…”
“I don’t believe you, my *ss. Give it to me right now!”
At this point, McLean had made up his mind. No matter what, he had to make Joseph bleed this time.
This old thing was always shameless, and this wasn’t the first or second time.
“Wait a moment, let’s talk about this first…”
“No!”
“Later… Later I’ll definitely give…”
“No way!”
“Don’t You Trust Me?”
“I don’t!”
“I say, you’re young enough to be my son. Your teachers are all my brothers. Do you believe it…”
“Ooh, I’m so scared. Go, go tell them. See what they’ll say…”
“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll send it to you right now!”
Joseph could not bear the pain of Raymond’s blueprint.
You said that there was a problem with Raymond’s blueprint?
But McLean had understood it.
There was something he did not understand.
Since he understood it, then he had to understand it.
So, even if that spectrum technology was very important, he had to hand it over now.
