Chapter 229 Who said foreign scientists don’t toast?
After entering the building, I took the elevator straight up to the sixth floor. With a ding, the elevator door opened, revealing a long corridor.
In the corridor are portraits of past dragon slayers, and below the portraits are quotations engraved on stone slabs.
The scattered staff were chiseling the stone slabs, seemingly modifying the contents on them. When they noticed Lu Mingfei walking out of the elevator door, they calmly blocked Lu Mingfei's sight with their backs, and the chisels in their hands left afterimages.
Some people even lay on the wall, which looked extremely funny.
Others uttered low complaints.
"Damn it, which idiot poured metal into these fonts? I'm going to pour molten steel on his grave in the future."
Lu Mingfei looked at the staff and couldn't help but laugh.
The original intention of establishing Cassel was to slay dragons, to educate and train excellent dragon slayers for various hybrid organizations. The atmosphere of the entire academy is naturally quite radical. It seems that the quotations of these sages are naturally not good things for dragons.
Lu Mingfei learned so much so quickly that within three days he went from being a special individual who only existed in the vision of the top leaders to a position that suppressed the entire world. He had no time to modify many strategies, let alone these quotations. Even the thoughts of many professors in the academy had not changed.
'Am I so petty?'
He laughed and shook his head, forgetting these funny and cute guys.
At this time, the commissioner who had been waiting at the door saw Lu Mingfei coming and pushed the door open directly.
Lu Mingfei saw that it was a small windowless conference room with only a long table.
There were five people sitting behind the table, all of them handsome men and beautiful women, but none of them were wearing white coats. Most of them had the stereotypical bald heads and white hair, which made this meeting, which should have been of extremely high scientific literacy, seem very inconsistent.
Xia Mi was still the same. When she saw Lu Mingfei and his group, she stood up in a very cool manner and waved her arms.
"Dad, come here quickly, I'm waiting for you!"
She had a very loud voice, and the word "elated" was almost written on her face.
Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand and made a knocking head gesture. Xia Mi subconsciously hugged her head, stuck out her tongue, and finally sat back.
Everyone looked sideways.
Honestly speaking, regardless of whether this style of painting is suitable for a qualified scientific worker, at least everyone finds it quite novel to see that the Dragon King is so funny.
“When I first started communicating with her, I thought she was a rational but arrogant person.”
Oppenheimer turned his head and whispered to his old friend beside him.
"Now we have got good news."
Von Karman nodded slightly. In the process of scientific research, it is always better to have a colleague with a lively personality than an arrogant and dull one.
They are not lacking in social skills, but they are afraid that their partners are too weird.
Moreover, they have a very clear understanding of the current situation. They know who is on the other side and how they survived. Now they have the standard mentality of a wage earner. It is a good thing if the boss is both knowledgeable and lively, and they can relax a little.
To be honest, when they first came back to life and were told to work for the Dragon Kings, apart from being surprised, they were also worried that they would be treated as slaves by these Dragon Kings.
You know, in their perception, the quality of dragons is even lower than those slave-owning cannibals in South America, and they are even more terrifying!
After Xia Mi’s commotion, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
Nodding to the few people, Lu Mingfei and his companions dragged a few benches and sat down, and took a look at the nameplate on the chest of the person next to them.
[von Braun] Oh, the leader of the American space program at that time.
Lu Mingfei glanced around again. In addition to Vice President Cassel, the first person in human alchemy technology who came here with the youth package, the other two were also American scientists.
A founder of dynamics and a creator of nuclear weapons.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.
No, didn’t Ange say that they also have people from the Soviet Union?
"Mr. Sergey is still being handled by a special person for ideological work."
Seeing the confusion in Lu Mingfei's eyes, von Braun spoke.
"Oh, I get it."
Lu Mingfei nodded.
He understood this. After all, no one could stand waking up to find out that the country he had fought for all his life had been gone for more than a decade.
Not to mention that the enemy camp is still alive and well, and I will stay here in the future.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lu Mingfei. I have read all the materials you provided. If we can really overcome the problems with the materials, it will not be difficult to restore the level of manned lunar landing in a short period of time. Thank you very much."
While Lu Mingfei was still in a daze, von Braun had already extended his hand with a friendly smile on his face.
"Mr. Brown, you are too kind. These are technologies that dragons have mastered long ago. It's a pity that the exchanges between the two civilizations are limited, and dragons have never set their sights on development."
Lu Mingfei also smiled. Both sides hoped that they could build a good relationship with each other.
"For the exploration of space, we still need heroes like you who have proven themselves in history."
"Hahaha, it's not just my achievement. The contributions from NASA and even the whole country at that time were indispensable."
Von Braun was a cheerful person. He raised his hand and pointed at the others and said.
"Carmen and Oppenheimer are older than me. They are my teachers and seniors in the academic field. Without the foundation they laid, I wouldn't have the opportunity to display my talents."
Lu Mingfei nodded and greeted them one by one. The two were not introverted people either, and they stood up and came over to shake hands.
"The future of space programs will still depend on you."
Lu Mingfei held their hands.
"Mr. Lu, you have given us a chance to set off again and to foresee the future of space exploration, which are things we never dared to think of in the past. You have saved our lives and saved science. We can't thank you enough."
Von Karman praised enthusiastically, and Oppenheimer had no objection and immediately showed a humble expression.
At least this time he was not asked to study weapons of mass destruction.
"If we don't work harder, improve efficiency, and make some achievements, we will be ashamed of you and all of humanity."
For scientists who have reached their status, both the ability to handle interpersonal relationships and personal professional standards are indispensable. They are much higher than those old pedants who only understand academics. Otherwise, if they can only reach Faraday's level, their professional level will be unprecedented.
After exchanging pleasantries with the two scientific masters, Lu Mingfei's stereotypes about scientific researchers faded a lot again.
Look, there are not so many people who are so arrogant because of their talents. It is obvious that these scientists in the top fields get along very well with each other.
