Professor Zhou was covering his head with his hands, resting with his elbows on the table and closing his eyes, when he was woken up by the sudden sound of the phone. He had been a little bit overwhelmed recently, and could not help falling asleep. Professor Zhou rubbed his eyes, put on his glasses, and then connected the phone.

"Have you found it? Who are those people who came to pull the banner?" Professor Zhou lit a cigarette casually, and then quietly listened to the news found by the person on the other end of the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone told Professor Zhou that the people who came to pull the banners at the beginning were some street gangsters, saying that someone paid them to come and make trouble here according to the given time.

When the gangster saw that they could get the money, they readily agreed. But then for some unknown reason, some laid-off workers began to participate.

He asked those laid-off staff if they were encouraged by others, but the person said no that they just saw someone doing this, and the laboratory was scolded on TV and the Internet, so they wanted to vent their anger and learn to do it.

When they were caught by the police, these people were still a little confused, and after some education, they were allowed to leave.

"Did those little bastards say who gave them money?" Professor Zhou thought for a while, and asked out the doubts in his heart, wanting to know more details.

"No, some said it was a woman who asked them to come, but some said it was a man who asked them to come. When asked about the specific appearance, they all said that they were wearing hats and sunglasses, and they couldn't see clearly. The source points to multiple people, which is difficult to find it." The person on the other end of the phone replied.

Professor Zhou shook the cigarette ash in his hand, and found that the cigarette was almost burnt out, so he lit another one, and continued to ask: "What else do those punks say?"

"No. Recently, there are very few people who come, and you may see that there are police and security patrolling around." The person on the other end of the phone added.

"Thanks, old classmate." Professor Zhou thanked the person on the other end of the phone and hung up the phone. Then he took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled a few smoke rings, stifled the cigarette, and began to fall into deep thought.

Professor Zhou could be sure that this incident must be aimed at the laboratory specifically. First, the news of the cooperation was exposed to hype up public opinion, and then they organized a disturbance at the entrance of the laboratory to make things even bigger.

As for the purpose of the people behind it, Professor Zhou was not yet clear, but what was certain was that this incident was indeed a problem within the laboratory itself. It had nothing to do with Chen and the others. After all, knowing the security scheduling shifts of the laboratory clearly was not easy either.

Now that the matter had become known to everyone and had attracted the attention of the higher-ups, there was no need to continue to make trouble.

The higher-ups would send people over to investigate the situation in a few days. At that time, someone might need to come out to take this responsibility.

If the problem could not be solved, the person who caused the problem will be solved. This was an unspoken rule, and everyone tacitly understood it.

Professor Zhou tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making a crisp clicking sound. For some reason, Professor Zhou finally made up his mind, and someone had to come out to take care of it.

A few days later, Professor Zhou received a notice that an investigation team would be dispatched to investigate this incident, hoping to learn from this lesson and avoid such things from happening again in the future.

After receiving the notice, Professor Zhou took Lam and other laboratory staff to stand at the door of the laboratory and wait.

After a while, several cars drove up outside the door, and then a group of people came down. Professor Zhou looked at the person who was leading them, and couldn't help squinting his eyes to stare at him.

Tom Zhang, an academician, Bird Zhang 's father, an academic leader in the field of artificial intelligence in Hua country, had the potential to become a scholar oligarch, but his reputation was not very good. Therefore, in line with the principle of not colluding with each other, Professor Zhou did not want to have too much contact with him before.

Tom Zhang approached, and when he saw Professor Zhou, he quickly stretched out his hand to hold Professor Zhou's hand tightly, and laughed loudly, "Old Zhou, long time no see."

Professor Zhou didn't respond, but asked Tom Zhang: "This time you are in charge of investigating in our laboratory?"

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

" Who told me to work hard? The superiors entrusted me to come, so I'm here now. Let's go in first, there's still work to do later." Tom Zhang urged Professor Zhou to hurry into the laboratory, and inadvertently glanced at Lam beside Professor Zhou.

After entering the laboratory, Tom Zhang asked members of the investigation team to question the researchers in the laboratory one by one, asking them their views on this matter and how to respond to future incidents.

As the person in charge of the project cooperating with Chen's company, Lam had expected early on that he would be interrogated by the investigation team, so he waited anxiously at the door.

"Lam, you can go in now." A member of the investigation team looked at the list in his hand, read Lam's name, and immediately ticked it. After turning the page, there was no one there, and this was the last one.

As soon as Lam entered the door, he found members of the investigation team sitting in a row opposite. Tom Zhang was sitting in the middle, and Professor Zhou, the person in charge of the laboratory, was also arranged to sit aside.

"Lam, don't be nervous. We just need to understand the situation, so take it easy." Tom Zhang looked at the list and said to Lam with a smile.

Lam nodded, ready to start the question-and-answer mode.

"You know that the large-scale application of robots will cause serious ethical problems, and even more serious social problems, why do you still carry out research and development?" A member of the investigation team next to Tom Zhang stared at Lam and asked aggressively.

This was not good! Lam looked normal, thought for a while and said: "The evaluation standard of a technology lies in whether the technology itself is innovative, and there is no distinction between good and bad technology itself. Just like swords, there was no way to distinguish between good and bad. The good people use it, so it is good, but if bad people use it, it is bad. It should be evaluated by the people who use it, not itself. As a scientist, it is reasonable for me to focus on technological progress. As for the final purpose of technology and usage is not where I should be concerned."

"Don't scientists have social responsibilities? Don't scientists just think about the problems brought about by technology ?" The man continued to chase Lam.

"The purpose of science is indeed not only to seek truth and explore the mysteries of nature, but also to do good, improve people's living conditions and enhance human well-being, but not everyone can become a person like Oppenheimer." Lam stared into the man's eyes and said, at least so far he hasn't grown up to be like Oppenheimer.

"You are talking too much!" Hearing what Lam said, the man couldn't help but slapped the table and shouted at Lam.

Lam shook his head and stopped talking.

"Alright, alright, Lam, you can go out first." Tom Zhang interrupted the conversation, signaling Lam to leave.

After Lam leave,Tom Zhang also asked the investigation team to leave first. When everyone else left, Zhang closed the door, leaving only him and Professor Zhou in the room.

"Old Zhou, I'll get straight to the point. Before I came here, the higher-ups told me that someone must be responsible for this incident in order to have an explanation to the society. I believe you understand, so I won't waste my words." After a pause, Zhang pointed to the outside, and continued: "Lam is the person in charge of this project, right? I think he should take the main responsibility. What do you think?"

Professor Zhou stared at Zhang, and Zhang also looked at Professor Zhou expectantly. As long as Professor Zhou nodded, Lam could be kicked out in minutes. Then he let out the words again to see who in the industry would dare to want Lam, and then he would continue to look for opportunities to deal with him again and again.

Zhang wanted Lam to kneel like a dog and beg for mercy, and then he continued to break his hopes again and again, letting him know how Bird Zhang became what he was now.

Thinking of Bird Zhang, Zhang had a gloomy expression on his face. He just had such a son, but he was completely useless.

Bird Zhang was in a daze every day except drinking, and from time to time he muttered to himself by the wall, and yelled at the corner , saying you guys not to come.

Seeing Bird Zhang was like this, Tom Zhang 's heart was cut like a knife, and he hated Lam to the bone.

"Academician Zhang, I know that Lam had conflicts with your son Bird Zhang, but Bird Zhang had to blame himself. so why bother?" Professor Zhou finally realized that Zhang was waiting for Lam here.

"Old Zhou, in a word, do you agree with Lam to take this responsibility?" Seeing what Professor Zhou said, Tom Zhang became displeased.

"I don't agree. This matter has nothing to do with Lam. I am the one who initiates the cooperation and signed the agreement." Professor Zhou said calmly, then asked with a frown as if he had thought of something Said: "You leaked the news about the laboratory? Did you find those little gangsters?"

There are many former students of Tom Zhang in the laboratory, and Tom Zhang had every reason and ability to do this.

"Old Zhou, why are you doing this? Lam has nothing to do with you. Why are you protecting him?" Tom Zhang was puzzled.

After speaking, he walked up to Professor Zhou and whispered to him: "Yes, I did all of these. Otherwise, how could I make a big mess? If I don’t make a big mess, how can I attract the attention of the higher-ups? If I don’t attract attention, how can I come here to deal with Lam. But this incident has nothing to do with me at all. "

"Zhang, you are going too far. Believe it or not, I will expose you." Professor Zhou suddenly realized Zhang just wanted to revenge Lam. But then the question arose, who else leaked the news if the news not be leaked by Zhang?

"You can but you have no evidence. What did I say just now? I said nothing!" Zhang looked at Professor Zhou and said indifferently.

"Lam is a very talented child. He will definitely make great achievements in this field in the future, and you can also help our country occupy a place in the world. I am old, so I don't care. Anyway, I will deal with this matter myself. ” Professor Zhou originally wanted to say that you were shameless, but thinking that Zhang might have gotten tired of hearing such words, so he felt that it was unnecessary and gave up.

"Old Zhou, you are still so impulsive. There is no shortage of people in our country, especially talented people. A genius who dies young is not a genius, and a genius can only be considered a genius if he can live to the end. Unfortunately, Lam meets me. Zhou, you are qualified to be an academician. You just need to push this matter to Lam, and it won't be difficult for me to help you." Zhang seduced Professor Zhou carefully.

Professor Zhou didn't bother to talk to Zhang anymore. He got up and opened the door to leave, ignoring Zhang's panic behind him.
