"Don't ask for my name or citizenship number. I'm not stupid enough to be that far. Although I am writing this letter in itself a foolish act. I also don't want to use any evidence to prove that I am indeed an engineer in the Shell Engineering Department. Because this is just an open letter from me alone. The believer always believes. Unbelieving friends can be taken as a joke. The reason for writing this open letter is simple. It's to explain ......"

"We know that the Academy of Sciences has taken the lead in completing the development of the new MX mecha. At this time, the company has to develop separately. It will make a lot of people not understand. Feel that this duplication is a waste of federal resources. But I want to remind you of one thing. Mechs are not clay pinchers. It's not something that a three-year-old can make by rubbing it on the banks of a river. The humble clay figurines may carry the innocent beauty of a child. But it will definitely not help the Union army to gain much in the battle against the Empire. This most sophisticated humanoid machine. It takes a long time to develop. ”

Development of a. Guoke Company had an initial intention as early as 30 years ago. After a long period of preparatory work. The project was officially established 12 years ago. Countless experts, scholars and technicians have devoted themselves to the sweat of youth. The first prototype was developed last fall. And we know. You know that. The Federal Academy of Sciences has never had a similar program. They only started out of nowhere this year. So in terms of first come, first come. Waste of federal resources. It should be the Federal Academy of Sciences. And not our Shell company. ”

"What I don't understand even more is this. After the Federal Academy of Sciences launched a research and development project for a new MX mech. It only took a few months. It was a success.

How do they do it? We know that. The Federal Academy of Sciences brings together the best scientists of the Federation. But I still don't believe it. They have this technical prowess. Because if they really have. The army of the Federation. He had already set foot on the land of Imperial Kyoto...... Repeat again. R&D mechs are not clay figures. But the Academy of Sciences made it at the speed of a clay figure. ”

"Admire? Of course I do. It's like that cartoon from the Federal Children's Channel. To be able to have such speed. It's an amazing thing. ”

"I'm not accusing the College. Although everyone knows that the animated film is plagiarism. I'm just giving an example that might not be appropriate. Especially when the object of such accusations. It is the Federal Academy of Sciences, which we respect. Be more cautious. Although there are rumors in academic circles. Past records of our Dean Lin. It's not as pure and flawless as everyone thinks. ”

"Because of the absolute technical secrecy of the union. So some details I can't tell. But I just want to remind you of one name. Professor Shen Yulin. If you are interested. You can look into the name. And I can remind everyone. A student who holds the entire academic legacy of Professor Shen Lao. One of the technical directors of our Shell Engineering Department. Just a few months ago. The technical supervisor was under pressure from some quarters. He was imprisoned in the District Attorney's Office. Thankfully, he's been released now. ”

"Regardless of whether the mobile company should develop mechs or not. Now it has been successfully developed. The next step is to see whether the federal government chooses the criteria of the Federal Academy of Sciences. It's still the standard for Shell companies. From the perspective of a practitioner. I think it's a very simple proposition. ”

"I know this open letter from one person. It will cause a lot of discussion. But I think. He is an engineer at Fruit Shell Mobility. Be a technical conscience and the principle of being a man. I have to stand up and say these things. I don't want to see people who do things being criticized. And those who only know how to grab the fruit. But it was made into a statue and revered. ”

(It's nice that a book friend wrote this open letter last night.) It gives me a headache. You can't copy him directly. The problem is that he wrote what I wanted to write in the first place. I had to write it in a different way, and it was plagiarized like the Academy of Sciences. ）

There's a lot more to the open letter. But basically, it's just in the mouth of the person concerned. In the tone of a lace tabloid. Describes the so-called federal academic community**. This is a typical shady literary format. But all sober people. I will definitely find that there are many problems in this open letter. It's just that the things mentioned in the engineer's open letter are too explosive. So much so that no one thinks about the deep-seated problems.

The engineer's open letter is 3,700 words. Not a single word is used to accuse the Federal Academy of Sciences of plagiarism. But the more than 3,000 words are actually just talking about this one issue. Anyone who reads this open letter. They all know what this person is trying to say. The Federal Academy of Sciences is the most respected academic institution in the Federation. Dean Lin is a well-respected academic leader. How can such institutions and scholars plagiarize?

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. The entire star's sky discussion forum was suddenly filled with all kinds of posts. There are some people who directly vent their dissatisfaction with federal life. Didn't even think about it. He began to speak in a fierce tone. Shamelessness in scolding the Federal Academy of Sciences. There is a part of the population that thinks they are calm. then began to express their opinions in a discretionary manner. Think this is complete nonsense. Most of these people believe that the engineers who published the open letter. Not at all a staff member of the Fruit Shell Engineering Department. It's just a villain who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

A real black-bellied conspiracy theorist. He began to criticize the engineer harshly. Think of it as nothing more than a battle between the upper political forces of the Federation. The despicable tactics used by the Fruit Shell Mobile Company to obtain huge government orders. There are even more conspiracy theorists who dare to think. It even thinks of the cyber agents bought by the empire.

And the silent majority. It is to start thinking about the questions raised in the open letter. Doubts began to arise in their hearts, too. If the Fruit Shell Company started the development of the MX mecha more than ten years ago. Why did the Federal Academy of Sciences intervene halfway? And the problem that the engineer pointed out. Can anyone explain?

It was the same night. These silent majority. Began to look up some information with the help of the relatively free environment on the federal network. Especially about Professor Shen Yulin, who is gradually being forgotten.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night. Someone found it many years ago. An article in an academic journal. That article was presented in a cryptic tone. Professor Lin Yuanhu of the Federal Academy of Sciences used to apply for the Nebula Award for academic achievements. Back three years ago. Most of the content has been completed by Professor Shen Yulin.

Professor Lin Yuanhu is now a leader in federal academia. President of the Academy of Sciences. At that time, when I was applying for the Nebula Award. He is already a well-known young professor in the Federation. Extremely prestigious. Immediately after that, someone found out. The academic journal that dared to publish Professor Lin Yuanhu's suspected plagiarism. In the same year, the Federal Academic Council withdrew its funding and authority. In the end, it ended up being closed and scattered.

So far. Shen Yulin, a once glorious name. Former Nebula Award winner. Once again in the public eye. People found it on the Internet. Professor Shen was after that incident. He left the Federal Academy of Sciences. Entered the Research Institute of Fruit Shell Mobile Company. Disappeared from academia for more than ten years. As for what he was studying later. But no one could find out.

Wherever you walk, there will be traces. Lin Yuanhu must not have expected it. The academic circles that were covered by him have long since dared to oppose his voice. But on the public network of the Federation. But there are still those ancient materials.

Half past three in the morning. Finally, someone found out about the change in the research institute of the mobile company half a year ago. Shortly after Professor Shen Yulin's death. His laboratory was mothballed. And the assistant researcher who accompanied him at the end. After being arrested. Now nowhere to be found.

One question after another. It was sent out by the people. Although it is only a little bit of a trace. But add their enthusiasm and imagination. has formed a story about the suppression of dissidents by scholars. The story of shamelessly stealing the fruits of other people's scholarship.

The angry people grew angrier. The silent people also began to publish long essays that were full of reasoning. Even the vitriolic conspiracy theorists. After a few hours of dissipation. It also began to pop up again. It's just that their goal this time has been directed at the Federal Academy of Sciences. Even the federal government.

The entire star sky discussion area is in the top forty. It's all about this discussion. At this point, no one cares whether the federal standard for the new MX mech is based on the Federal Academy of Sciences. Or the latest standard for husks. All were just suspicious. The fact of plagiarism is not there.

The media got moving. It was five o'clock in the morning. He is a reporter for the Yan magazine "Galaxy", which has the largest circulation volume. Dialed the press release of the Federal Academy of Sciences. On the phone. The reporter told the other party what happened on the Internet tonight. Ask if there's anything you need to respond to.

"The web is free. Freedom is none. Nothing can be trusted. He is the spokesperson of the highest academic institution of the United Nations. Do you think I need to make any response to these unreasonable arguments?" said the spokesman for the Federal Academy of Sciences, laughing loudly on the other end of the phone, "I'm just talking to you privately." About this shameless slander against the Federal Academy of Sciences and President Lin. We reserve the right to prosecute rumor-mongers. ”

The reporter hung up the phone and shook his head. I thought you were answering the phone so quickly at five in the morning. Apparently not asleep. It seems that it must be the news that it was successfully developed by the Fruit Shell Mobile Company. And the rumors of plagiarism on the Internet disturbed and could not sleep. can still laugh so heartily.

It is not known that the journalist did not follow the principle of private conversation. There are still good deeds who imitate the tone of the press spokesman. In short, on the online press release board. Again, a post very similar to the content of this conversation appeared.

There are countless replies from the public.

"I'm so scared......"

"My previous remarks were the result of a stolen number. I do not assume any legal responsibility......"

"Lao Tzu lives in Bermuda. You have the ability to hunt me down across the universe!"

It was also raining in the capital zone the next day. Professor Shen holds an umbrella. Just about to walk into the gate of the First Military Academy. I was surrounded by countless reporters who came from nowhere. He looked around at the umbrellas and cameras. Camera. Slightly stunned. Didn't understand what's going on. He went to bed very early every night. Naturally, I don't know what happened to the Fruit Shell Company. And what's going on on the web.

After being informed by reporters about the news on the Internet. Professor Shen was silent for a long time before raising his head. There was a faint smile on his face. "It's inconvenient for me to say anything. ”

Right here and now. He knew Xu Le. This father's favorite student on his deathbed. Finally began to seek something for the father underground. His mood was calm with a hint of comfort.

"Professor Shen. What kind of problems did Professor Shen have with Dean Lin back then? It is said that they were colleagues in the same laboratory back then?"

"Professor Shen. Professor Shen's laboratory was mothballed. Is it related to the development of the MX mecha this time?"

"There are rumors on the Internet. Professor Shen's academic legacy is now owned by an assistant researcher. You are the sole heir to Professor Shen's estate. Do you have any comment on this statement?"

Professor Shen has not answered any questions from reporters. After hearing this. But he stopped. Turning around, he said seriously: "This sentence is true. The results of my father's last ten years. In accordance with the agreement with the federal government. The ownership was in my father's hands. The federation only has the right to use. And that power has now passed into the hands of my father's student. My lawyer and I witnessed the handover process. If needed. I would like to repeat the above again. ”

A tiny voice recorder carried by a journalist. These few words were faithfully recorded. Another reporter asked urgently: "About Dean Lin's plagiarism of Professor Shen Yulin's academic achievements." And this time the Federal Academy of Sciences may plagiarize the design of the Fruit Shell Mobile Company. Could you please say a few words?"

Professor Shen was silent for a long time. Then he shook his head. "I have no evidence. ”

After saying this. Professor Shen walked towards the campus in the autumn rain. The pace is calm. He's like his father. Anger at those who are unjust though. but prefer to devote their time and energy to meaningful research. Instead of mourning all her life like a resentful woman. A rigorous scholar. Not without evidence. Leave any comments.

The LD of the Shell Engineer has become a celebrity on the federal network. It's just doxing no matter what. Unable to find out the owner behind this LD. The Federal Academy of Sciences, of course, did not comment on the matter. And the reporters who rushed to the Gangdu Industrial Park. None of the Shell staff were interviewed.

However, they finally got confirmation from the press department of the Fruit Shell Company. The Fruit Shell Company has indeed succeeded in developing a new MX mech. Passed the preliminary acceptance of the Ministry of Defense. Tentatively named Little White Flower. There was no grand press conference. It was like saying that the weather was nice today and that the important news was announced. All the reporters felt a little uncomfortable. I don't understand why Fruit Shell Mobile is so low-key.

Director José walked into the storeroom. Said to Xu Le, who was working seriously at the workbench, "Did you go to the net last night?"

Xu Le smiled.

Mr. José said nothing more. Just sighed. "The president's office called the president's office. It is said that the president was scolded bitterly. Then Mr. President scolded me severely. Actually, what I want to say is. We've done what we're supposed to do. I believe we are more solid in R&D on mechs than the Federal Academy of Sciences. As long as you argue with reason. The Federation's future mecha standards will definitely use mine. Why do you have to make more trouble at this time?"

"The instantaneous output power of the Purple Sea of the Academy of Sciences should be greater than ours. Shang Qiu replied on the side, "But that's not the point. I've always had doubts about stability. ”

After saying this. Shang Qiu glanced at Xu Le.

In fact, everyone in the room knows it. The person who sent the message last night. It must be in the middle of the field. Shell MX was developed a little later than the Academy of Sciences. And then how to hold a grand press conference. Nor will it be possible to achieve the sensational effect of the Academy of Sciences. This kind of bottom-up. News releases from the web and realistically. On the contrary, good results can be achieved.

Xu Le thought in his heart. It's not enough to just get standards. Mr. Jose looked at Xu Le calmly. Know what's going on in his mind. It is about the reputation of Professor Shen. This genius technician. There will be no regression.

"There is no evidence. Mr. José was silent for a moment and then said, "The people are talking about it no matter how loud it is. There is no evidence. After a while, it will fade. ”

"I'm trying to figure out how to make the evidence come out on its own. Xu Le bowed his head and said.

Overnight. The entire Federation knew about it, and the Fruit Shell Mobile Company had also successfully developed a new MX mech. Discussion of what kind of standards should be adopted by the Federation. The major official residences in the Capital Special Administrative Region. In the office of the Federal Council of Management. At the staff meetings of the major military districts. A lively discussion began.

Also overnight. Star Sky includes the federal public network. Any talk of new mechs was swept away. The federal government is protecting the secrets of the new mechs. It was tolerated by the majority of the population. After all, it's not about which restaurant has the best food. But that's exactly what it is. Those allegations that Dean Lin Yuanhu was involved in plagiarism. It is also strictly controlled under this reason.

A burst of autumn rain and a chill. A black car slowly stopped in front of the hotel on the side of Charter Square in the capital d.c. Li Xiuzhu got out of the car and raised the collar of his trench coat. covered his handsome and calm face. Walked into the hotel.

Take a dedicated VIP elevator to the top floor. Push open the heavy door. Secretary Luo stood up to greet him. Li Xiuzhu ignored him. Hung the trench coat on the hanger. He smiled slightly and said, "Are you sure about tomorrow?"

"We've got the technical specifications of the husk. They are completely at a disadvantage. There will be no problems with tomorrow's meeting. Secretary Luo said softly: "Dean Lin will come over after attending the meeting." ”

"Is the dean in a good mood?"

Li Xiuzhu tried his best to keep his smile without schadenfreude. Walked to the window. Look at the presidential residence in the distance, which is brightly colored. I thought that as long as tomorrow's meeting decided to adopt the standards of the Academy of Sciences. What are those discussions?
