I picked up the god-level academic system

"Go ahead." Duan Lingxiao said coldly.

"Hmph, you won this time. Maybe I should have expected it."

"Don't say these useless things. As a military minister, who do you deserve for what you have done? Explain the problem as soon as possible."

"Okay, where should we start?" Meng Fei looked up at the iron cage, "Let's start with getting acquainted with Shi Hong."

Meng Fei recalled the acquaintance process between himself and Shi Hong.

"I met him through my father. When I was in my 20s, my father said that when I grow up, I can meet some powerful people."

"So, the banquet that night was specially prepared to celebrate my birthday. It was also the first time I met him. At that time, he was already a famous noble. Not only rich, but also knowledgeable."

"He is also knowledgeable? Are you talking about Shi Hong?" Duan Lingxiao asked with a question mark on his face.

"Perhaps you can't tell that he graduated from a prestigious university and has his own unique ideas and insights in computers."

"I have been studying artificial intelligence for four years, but I was still shocked to hear his theory. Of course, time has proven that his theory only remains in imagination, and it will take another century to realize it. .”

"But one person made it happen."

"Who?"

"It's you, Duan Lingxiao."

"He hasn't accomplished anything, yet you still admire him?" For some reason, Duan Lingxiao felt that this Meng Fei was a bit silly.

"I was young and ignorant at that time, and I just wanted to make some achievements to show my father. I didn't expect him to be such a person."

"Are you sure he's not a liar?"

"You are right, he is a liar, and a complete liar."

Meng Fei continued, "Later, on my father's recommendation, I went to his company for an internship and found that there were the best software engineers in the country gathered there. Many of them were beyond my reach."

"But for a family like ours, we must go to the military in the future. This is also my father's expectation."

"I have something that I am very curious about." Long Yang asked, "Your father has always had a good reputation. Why is he related to Shi Hong?"

"Our family used to be very poor, and everything we have today is the result of my father's hard work. He has always had supreme faith in the aristocracy."

"So, he envies Shi Hong?"

"Yes, you can say that. But since my father has been stationed abroad, the two of them don't cooperate much. They only help Shi Hong occasionally."

"Did your father really not do anything harmful?" Duan Lingxiao questioned again. He did not believe that Meng Fei's father could be so innocent.

"You can doubt me, but please don't insult my father. He has been fighting for the Dragon Kingdom all his life, and he has absolutely no second thoughts. Although he has indeed done some outrageous things, he has never harmed the interests of the Dragon Kingdom."

Meng Fei's tone was very determined. He didn't want his father's reputation to be ruined because of him.

"Okay, you go on."

"In Shi Hong's company, I worked seriously and wanted to learn some real skills that I could use in the military department in the future. However, when I got there, I realized that there were no actual projects in the company at all."

"What do you mean?" Duan Lingxiao asked.

"They spend most of their time solving all kinds of strange problems that I can't understand at all. And based on Pratt & Whitney's contribution, it's actually very small, but their reputation and status are very high."

"Do you know the reason?"

“I didn’t know it at the time, but it seems now that a lot of their business was stock manipulation, which is why the company is so well-known.”

Duan Lingxiao became more and more confused as he listened, "No, I still don't understand. They haven't done anything, so why are they still famous? Is it just because of their strong stocks?"

“In the eyes of the general public, technology brings slow changes to their lives, but what money brings to them will be earth-shaking changes.”

"Did you know? In just five years, millions of people have increased their wealth tenfold by relying on Pratt & Whitney stock."

After hearing this, Long Yang and Duan Lingxiao were very shocked. They did not expect that Shi Hong's energy would be spent on this.

"Later, I came to the military headquarters with my father's help. At this point, Shi Hong and I also lost contact."

"After I went to the military department, I went directly to the scientific research department and started doing research and development."

"Then why did you hang out with him again?"

"The salary in the military at that time was actually not high. Although my expenses were not large, I was very envious when I saw other colleagues spending large amounts of money."

"One day, Shi Hong called me and asked me if my salary was enough?"

"I said enough was enough, but he still gave me 10 yuan, saying that it would be just one month's pocket money. If it was not enough, I would ask him for more."

"10 yuan a month? How can you accept it?" Long Yang accused.

"I didn't want to accept it at first, but Shi Hong insisted that the money was just a meeting gift for me, and there was nothing to worry about."

"I was obsessed with it at that time. I took money to treat people to dinner, and more and more girls liked me. I felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction."

"From now on, whenever I have no money, I will tell Shi Hong that he will give generously without asking for anything in return."

Duan Lingxiao smiled bitterly, "Is there something wrong with your brain? He is paralyzing you, don't you know?"

"I was confused at the time. I just felt that he and my father were close friends, and it was reasonable for him to help me."

"Hey, doesn't your father know about this?"

"He asked me not to tell my father, saying it was a secret between us."

"Haha, haven't you thought there's a scam in it?"

"No, I'm so used to being so lavish that I've long forgotten why I came here."

"Okay, let's continue."

"This kind of life lasted for about a year. One day, he suddenly asked me if I could help him obtain some useful information from the military department."

"What information?" Long Yang asked.

"List of personnel of the Scientific Research Department."

"Huh? What does he want this for?"

"I also asked this question. He just said to see what kind of talents the military is recruiting? His nephew wants to get in."

"I didn't think much about it, so I gave it to him."

After hearing this, Long Yang immediately reprimanded, "Meng Fei, do you know this is against the regulations?"

"I know, but I think it's nothing. It's just a list."

"What happened next?" This was the focus of Duan Lingxiao's attention.

"Later, later..." Meng Fei suddenly choked up, "Two months later, several outstanding researchers from the scientific research department disappeared and died."
