Brazil.
When Di Wuchang woke up from the soft first-class seat, the flight had already passed halfway, and in another hour and a half, they would arrive at Manaus, the largest city in the Amazon rainforest.
Di Wuchang rubbed his eyes, the continuous long-distance flight and jet lag made him feel tired, just now he dreamed of his wife, a gentle Jiangnan girl, with skin as soft as water, and delicate and pretty facial features.
Thanks to the magical star dating, Di Wuchang just dated with the intention of giving it a try. As a result, he fell in love with his current wife at first sight when they met for the first time, and never left her again.
My wife is a history student, a girl who looks a little silly, she always burns the rice, or when she puts the bath water, she suddenly thinks of other things, causing the water in the bathtub to overflow.
Or on a date, he was late because he took the wrong direction of the subway, came to Di Wuchang out of breath, and apologized to him in a panic.
In short, the wife who is already in graduate school is still like a child who has not grown up, always doing some unbelievable and strange things.
But Di Wuchang liked her very much, and the two got married shortly after they met. When his wife graduated from graduate school, they planned to have their first child.
“President Di, can I ask something?”
Wei Chen’s voice interrupted Di Wuchang’s memory.
As the earliest employee of Xingchen Technology stationed in Brazil, Wei Chen has been here for three years. He has become accustomed to wearing flip-flops and dating Brazilian women with big butts. Because he eats too much barbecue and drinks too much beer, his weight finally soars. Over two hundred catties, and her skin was also tanned by the sun.
In short, if Wei Chen doesn’t speak Chinese, everyone will think that he is a Japanese native of Brazil. In this multi-ethnic mixed country, there are many Japanese-Brazilians.
“Oh, what is it?” Di Wuchang said.
Wei Chen scratched his head, “Who are Wen Chengling and Wen Chengfeng? It’s worth a trip for yourself? The Amazon rainforest, I heard that the mosquitoes over there are bigger than leeches.”
Di Wuchang smiled, “Of course it’s worth it, that is, Mr. Luo is inconvenient to go abroad now, otherwise, he will probably come in person.”
Wei Chen was stunned.
Wen Chengling and Wen Chengfeng are actually worthy of Luo Jia’s personal trip to Brazil to search for them in the Amazon rainforest. Can this be an ordinary person?
Definitely not!
After a pause, Di Wuchang said slowly: “In March 1978, my country’s first educational institution dedicated to cultivating geniuses, the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China, was formally established, and it was the Nobel Prize in Physics who proposed this idea. Award winner, Mr. Lee Tsung-dao.”
“An Ran, Cao Yuan, Xi Zilan, Fang Yuanchu, etc., many leading figures in the company are all from the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China.”
Wei Chen nodded again and again, “I know that, Mr. An and the others all went to college at the age of twelve, they are really amazing.”
Di Wuchang said, “Yes, I am also very envious of Mr. An and his talents. However, the youngest record in the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China was not created by An Ran or Cao Yuan, but by brothers Wen Chengling and Wen Chengfeng. , the two of them are twins, and they were only nine and a half years old when they entered school.”
Wei Chen showed an expression of disbelief. He felt parched, so he hurriedly pressed the service light and asked the stewardess for two bottles of iced drinks, one for himself and one for Di Wuchang.
“Nine and a half years old?” Wei Chen unscrewed the drink bottle and said, “Isn’t that possible? Even the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China has to finish high school. Already?”
Di Wuchang smiled, “It’s unbelievable, but with the current situation of our company, you should be able to understand that some people are born different, such as Mr. An, he and Mr. Luo are the ones I have met in this life. The smartest person ever, the gap between people may be much bigger than we imagined.”
Wei Chen stopped talking. Before he was dispatched to Brazil, his deepest feeling in the company was depression. Geniuses are everywhere. If you are a dragon, you have to hang up, and if you are a tiger, you have to lie down. many.
“Wen Chengling and Wen Chengfeng should not be regarded as geniuses, they are gods.” Di Wuchang said, “And their growth experience is similar to that of An Ran. They first went to university in China, then went to North America to study for a Ph. Research.”
“Among them, the elder brother Wen Chengling is engaged in laser and is a tenured professor at Stanford University, and the younger brother Wen Chengfeng has studied biological genes and is a tenured professor at Harvard.”
“According to the normal trajectory, sooner or later the Wen family brothers will become famous on earth and become the top scientists recorded in the annals of history. Unfortunately, an accident thirteen years ago changed everything.”
Hearing this, Wei Chen immediately pricked up his ears, “What happened thirteen years ago?”
Di Wuchang looked out the window and said in a regretful voice, “Thirteen years ago, the Wen family brothers took their parents to Brazil for a trip, and it was in the Amazon region.”
“Their mother slipped and fell into the river, and was eaten by a school of piranhas, commonly known as piranhas. The father also jumped into the water in a hurry, and also failed to return.”
“At that time, the Wen family brothers were on the upper deck of the ship. They heard the cry for help and ran down in a hurry, but it was too late. They wanted to save their parents, but they were firmly caught by the crew.”
“The saddest thing in the world is this. The brothers of the Wen family saw their parents being eaten clean by piranhas. Listening to their screams, they turned from two living old people into two white bones. , This kind of blow is not something anyone can imagine or bear.”
Wei Chen opened his mouth wide, as if he suddenly remembered something, took out the backpack he was carrying with him, and took out a yellowed newspaper from it.
Thirteen years ago, an article reporting that two North American tourists were eaten by a school of piranhas appeared on the fourth page of the newspaper.
“Mr. Di, you asked me to find this old newspaper because of the Wen family brothers!” Wei Chen said excitedly, “But it says that two North American tourists died.”
“Well, that trip was to celebrate their parents getting green cards in North America according to the kinship rules. They set off from North America, passed through Mexico and Colombia, and arrived in the Amazon region all the way, and their end point was in South America. The end of America, Ushuaia, Argentina, is a trip across the Americas.” Di Wuchang said, “They were holding North American passports at the time, and the news reported it like this, so there is no problem.”
“What happened next?” Wei Chen asked anxiously.
Di Wuchang swallowed, “Brothers Wen returned to North America with the remains of their parents. mail.”
“Gradually, people also forgot their existence, and two years later, they suddenly sold their houses, stocks, everything, and evaporated from the world.”
“No one knows where they went, but judging from their consistent behavior, the tragic death of their parents can be said to be a fatal blow to them, and it is very likely that they are no longer in the world.”
“Time passed like this, until seven years ago, someone accidentally found Wen Chengling’s manuscript, which was about the study of extreme ultraviolet light.”
“As we all know, semiconductor manufacturing technology has undergone three generations of evolution from 1978 to the present, from ultraviolet light to deep ultraviolet light, and from deep ultraviolet light to extreme ultraviolet light, and the next generation of extreme ultraviolet light will be The end of the lithography process, super ultraviolet light, is an epoch-making process that combines traditional lithography and laser etching.”
“As the size of the chip becomes smaller and smaller, traditional lithography technology will become more and more powerless. Lasers must be introduced into the field of lithography to truly solve the problem and make the chip size one nanometer, or even one nanometer. picome.”
Wei Chen felt his heart beating faster, and he suddenly realized: “And Wen Chengling is a top scientist who studies lasers!”
“More than that.” Di Wuchang said lightly, “According to Wen Chengling’s manuscript, the laser lithography field plan he designed has reached 70%, which can be said to be quite mature, if not for the accident of his parents , He should have subverted the semiconductor process long ago and won the Nobel Prize in Physics.”
Wei Chen savored Di Wuchang’s words, and an inexplicable complex emotion flowed in his heart.
The road to genius is often not smooth sailing. The Wen family brothers had a lot of misfortunes. If it weren’t for that trip, they should have stood at the top of science, right?
However, if there is no such thing in the world, the tragedy happened like that, which makes people sad and sigh.
Wei Chen slumped on the seat. He felt his blood pressure was a bit high, thinking that he should not eat too much barbecue in the future, and that he should lose weight.
“So, when you heard that the Wen brothers might be in the Amazon area, you came immediately, because the company’s next step is to enter the semiconductor field, and we need Wen Chengling’s technology. In this world, no matter who gets this technology , will firmly grasp the lifeblood of the semiconductor industry.” Wei Chen said.
Di Wuchang nodded, “You are right at all. Xingchen Optics is the third department established in the company. Since the first year of its establishment, the Optical Department has been researching lithography machines. Up to now, it is close to It’s been four years, but it’s still one step away from real success.”
Wei Chen frowned, “I don’t quite understand, the Amazon is the sad place for the Wen family brothers~Soverse.com~Since they have already left, why do they come back? Facing the big river full of piranhas, can they just Won’t you be sad?”
Di Wuchang smiled, “You underestimate the spiritual power of the Chinese people. Killing one’s father is a vengeance. Since ancient times, we have been a nation with a tradition of revenge.”
“Revenge?” Wei Chen found it inconceivable, “Just with two helpless scientists?”
“Besides, who are they going to take revenge on? Did they eat their parents’ piranhas? How can humans take revenge on fish?”
Di Wuchang was silent at first, then nodded lightly, “Based on what we have learned so far, although my elder brother Wen Chengling studies lasers, my younger brother Wen Chengfeng is a great biological geneticist.”
“According to the customs records, shortly after the disappearance of the Wen family brothers, the Brazilian Customs has uncovered a series of dangerous creature smuggling incidents. Someone smuggled the most ferocious freshwater fish in China, black fish, into Brazil in large quantities.”
Wei Chen was dumbfounded again. Wen Chengling was a student of biological genes. Shortly after his disappearance, the most ferocious snakehead in China was seized by Brazilian customs. Could it be that he wanted to breed Chinese snakehead to kill all the piranhas in the Amazon River? Engage in a biological revenge?
If this is the case, the Wen family brothers are not only scientists, but also two out-and-out ruthless people!
Wei Chen felt the hairs on his back standing on end, and he thought of Di Wuchang’s words again. According to the Chinese tradition, the revenge of killing one’s father is not shared, and if one does not avenge one’s revenge, one swears not to be a human being…
After a long flight, the plane finally arrived at the largest city in the Amazon rainforest, Manaus.
Wei Chen and Di Wuchang didn’t know what was waiting for them ahead.
