Conan: The Mechanic - Chapter 1048
Of course, in the past month or so, more than that happened, Qianyu also had her own unique experience.
Now that he is ready to say goodbye to his past life, what Chiba wants to do most now is to take a last look at Japan through travel, and then leave the country completely – the only way to ensure that he and Shiho will never see each other again.
However, the pause button was pressed in the middle of the execution of this plan—on December 29, he was stopped in the hotel without telling anyone his specific whereabouts.
…
Tachibana Chiyu was looking at her friend with a very surprised look, as if she had only really seen his true face today.
“Where are you inviting me to go?” he asked in a rather incredible tone.
“Didn’t I make it very clear just now?” Hoshino Kaede spread his hands. “As a messenger, I convey to you the goodwill from the Far East Aviation Weapons Research Institute.”
“You…” Qian Yu frowned and questioned. “Who the **** are you working for?”
“Of course I work for the organization!” Hoshino Kaede spread his hands as a matter of course. “Isn’t it bad to be so suspicious of me? I’m the one who came over with you in the organization anyway.”
“No… Of course you work for the organization, but you definitely don’t just work for the organization!” Qianyu immediately connected all the previous confusions. “Before… the people you called at the West Tama Twin Towers were not ordinary mercenaries? Or, they were the troops of the Far East.”
“Of course not,” Xingyefeng shrugged again. “The army can’t do such detailed infiltration operations. Those are serious special operations forces.”
In other words, Hoshino Kaede did not deny the accusation that he was working for the Far East.
Everyone in the organization has their own personal identity, and Qianyu is mentally prepared – but he could never have expected someone to act as the spokesperson of other sovereign countries.
“You…” Just pointing at Hoshino Kaede and asking such a sentence, Qianyu couldn’t say anything.
“Then,” Hoshino Kaede asked again after seeing Chiba who was at a loss for words. “This job, are you interested in talking about the salary?”
“Of course not!” Qianyu replied succinctly. “Let’s not talk about anything else, develop weapons for the military system in the Far East… I don’t want to do such a traitorous thing.”
“But you have already designed body armor for us.” Hoshino Kaede spread his hands.
“You and I know the cost of that thing, it can’t be used in the army,” Qian Yu rolled his eyes at him. “Even if it’s barely implemented, it’s not the age of the army – but… aviation weapons are another matter.”
“Well, it’s still very repulsive…” Hoshino Kaede nodded thoughtfully. “If that’s the case, then forget it, we don’t need to think about this aspect of the work.”
“If there is nothing else, I’ll go first,” Qianyu shook her head and stood up. “Thank you very much for inviting me to discuss this, but… it may be more suitable for me to go to Nanyang Technological Technology. After all, I am Japanese and don’t want to get involved in everything that threatens me.”
But Hoshino Kaede called him again.
“Don’t worry,” said so leisurely, Hoshino Kaede gently shook the wine glass in his hand. “Since the invitation from the military doesn’t work, I have another invitation letter that may be more attractive to you. Do you really not consider listening to it? Personally, I even think this may be a better choice than Nanyang Technological Woolen cloth.”
“Huh?” Qianyu turned her head again and looked at Hoshino Kaede. “What do you mean… Could it be that you plan to let me go to National Tsinghua University or National Chiao Tung University? I’m sorry, I know that your country is rapidly expanding investment in engineering, but… some things cannot be quickly surpassed in a few years, at least for now. , I still prefer Nanyang Technological, I checked before, they have a professor’s major and I-“
“How about I finish this invitation?” Hoshino Kaede knocked on the wall of the wine glass in his hand. “After listening to me, no matter how sure you were before, you will definitely reconsider.”
“…” Qianyu looked at Hoshino Kaede suspiciously, and finally sighed and sat back on the chair. “Well, then please tell me, what kind of support do you have to convince me.”
“The chips are actually very simple. They are mainly divided into two parts: talent and hardware.” Handing an envelope to Chiba, Hoshino Kaede explained. “Open this envelope, maybe the person who wrote the letter is an acquaintance of yours.”
“My acquaintance?” Muttering, Qian Yu glanced at the signature on the outside of the envelope, and her expression immediately became serious.
【Gordon Williams】
The head of the Mechanical Engineering Department of Imperial College London, a member of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and a member of the Royal Society, gave Qianyu a considerable degree of training during his studies at Imperial College, and was almost regarded as his supreme mentor on the academic road. Interestingly, due to unknown reasons, he recently resigned from Imperial College, and his next family is unknown.
And now, Hoshino Kaede actually took out a letter signed by him?
The slight hostility from before disappeared immediately, and Qian Yu picked up a toothpick from the table with a very reverent mood, lightly scratched the glued part of the envelope, and then carefully took out the letter and read it. up.
[That’s right…it’s the old man’s handwriting and his usual style of writing…]
In this letter, Professor Williams clearly told Qianyu that he accepted the appointment of National Tsing Hua University as the director of the newly established composite materials research center, and invited Qianyu to come with him to conduct fracture mechanics with him. academic research.
[…I know that you may not have much impression of this place, and it is normal to be worried. But… from what I have so far, they have sufficient resources to build the hardware we need, so even a little lack in other areas is acceptable. You are my favorite young man, so I hope you can come here and challenge yourself if you want. At the same time, I will try to teach you everything I know…] – part of the letter
……
Foreigners are chief officials at Tsinghua University. In fact, I found inspiration from Savendi (academician of the American Academy of Engineering, former dean of the Department of Industrial Engineering of Tsinghua University). It happens that GW is an academician of the British Academy of Engineering, and the research focus is also on material fracture mechanics, so the weight of opening a civilian research center is also sufficient.
This setting of Hoshino Kaede was also set by me at the earliest. If I look back, I can actually find a lot of foreshadowing.
Such as the embassy vehicles that appeared there when the Nishitama Twin Towers; such as the [Miyagawa Heavy Industries] where he works; such as the Far East and the organization’s intelligence purchase agreement that he was responsible for coordinating; and even the quality of the body armor materials he provided. Inexpensive…
