Before Chengshi put all the food on the table, Tang Chuan said "Good morning" and walked into the room. "Ah, good morning. Did you sleep well last night?" "I fell asleep, but I didn't sleep very well. Probably because I drank too much red wine." Indeed, Tang Chuan did look listless.After Cheng Shi poured tea into the teacup, Tang Chuan said "thank you" and reached out to pick up the teacup. "Today, Mr. Yu Chuan, are you going to see the boat too?" After hearing Chengshi's question, Tang Chuan looked back at her with a puzzled expression.

"Why do you say 'also'? Who else is going besides me?" Cheng Shi sat up and straightened his back. "Because I'm going too." "Are you going too? Oh, that's what happened." Tang Chuan nodded, seeming to understand something. Today, DESMEC's ​​seabed resource survey ship will arrive at Perlispool Port.Chengshi, Sawamura and others had requested to visit the ship a long time ago, but it was not until last night that DESMEC agreed to their request. "Even if you went to see it, it probably wouldn't be meaningful, right?" After speaking, Tang Chuan sipped miso soup.

"Really? It is very important to us what machines and equipment they intend to use to survey the seabed." "You guys just want to see if those machines are going to disturb the bottom of the ocean?" "right." "In that case," Tang Chuan said, "then you don't have to look at it. Those machines and equipment will definitely disturb the bottom of the sea. After seeing those equipment, you will only blow your lungs. If you are going to put science If the development of society, the future of mankind, and environmental protection are compared on the scale, the situation will be slightly different."

"It's not that we don't have this idea at all. It's just that we are not going to put the two on the balance to compare, but we are wondering if there is any way to balance the two." "Take care of both?" Tang Chuan burst out laughing. "What's so ridiculous? That's right, it's indeed a beautiful idea—" "The pursuit of ideals is a good thing." Tang Chuan stared at Cheng Shi with a serious face for a while, "but your words are not convincing at all, and you don't feel the slightest humility in the face of learning."

Cheng Shi stared at the physicist in front of him: "Why?" "You're all experts when it comes to environmental protection, but you're all laymen when it comes to science. How much do you know about seabed resource development? To have both, you have to have an equal understanding of both." Knowledge and experience. It is arrogant and rude to focus on one or the other and say that enough is enough. Only when respecting the work and thinking of the other party can we open a path to balance both.” Saying that, Yu Chuan poured the mixed natto on the white rice, "Isn't it?"

Cheng Shi didn't know how to reply.Although he was a little unwilling, Tang Chuan did mean what he said. "Then what do you think we should do? Give up the visit?" "With your current point of view, even if you go to visit, it is meaningless." Yu Chuan said while breaking down the grilled fish with chopsticks, "However, if you can have the idea of ​​trying to understand each other, So no matter what, you should go to visit. I just said that it is meaningless for you to do so, but in fact, this kind of behavior is impossible to be meaningless. The experience of visiting various technologies related to the development of seabed resources will definitely be It will play a role in your future path."

Cheng Shi clenched his fists.Since planning the visit, she has been thinking about how to find development problems.Chengshi didn't even think about evaluating the opponent's technology in the past. "I heard from Gongping that your father used to be a company employee?" "Yes. What's the matter?" "What's the name of that company?" "'Arima Engine'." "In terms of car engines, it can be regarded as a top-level manufacturing plant. Since your father has stayed there, he can also go and make a little evaluation of the working conditions of Japanese technicians."

"Two different things." "It's the same thing. The visit will only be meaningful if you use all your experience." After speaking, Tang Chuan cast his gaze behind Chengshi and said "Morning". Chengshi turned his head and saw Gongping walking in with yogurt in his hand. "Ah, Gongping, good morning." Gongping looked at Chengshi, then at Tang Chuan, and asked, "What visit? Can I go?" "Going to board the boat." Hearing Yukawa's answer, Kyohei said with a bored expression, "Huh? Are you going to board the boat? Let's forget it." After speaking, he spread a cushion on the tatami mat and sat down cross-legged.

Cheng Shi stood up and said, "Mr. Tang Chuan, see you later." "Are you still going to visit?" "Well, of course. It's rare that Mr. Tang Chuan gave me such a good suggestion, how could I not go?" Perhaps because he took Cheng Shi's words as a sarcasm, Yu Chuan shrugged while holding the bowl in his hand. Cheng Shi turned around and was about to leave, but she seemed to suddenly think of something and turned around. "By the way, did you talk to your friend from the Metropolitan Police Department later?" Tang Chuan put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's about Mr. Tsukahara's death. Didn't your friend call you about that matter two days ago? I remember he called himself 'Kusanagi'." "You care about this?" "Well, there's a little... After all, he was living in our house at the time. I heard that Mr. Tsukahara was a member of the Metropolitan Police Department before, and he was in the first search section." Tang Chuan turned around and looked up at Cheng Shi. "You know a lot. It seems that this matter has not been reported in the newspapers or news, right?" "A high school classmate of mine later became a policeman. He has been involved in the investigation of this case from the very beginning. He was here during the day yesterday. When you came back, Mr. Yu Chuan, he was also there."

"Speaking of which, it seems that there was indeed a young detective at the time." "Mr. Yu Chuan, have you ever heard your friend from the Police Department talk about Mr. Tsukahara?" "I know a little bit about it. That Kusanagi is currently serving in the first search section of the Metropolitan Police Department. In other words, he is actually Mr. Tsukahara's descendant." Kyohei didn't seem to understand the conversation between the two.He had an inexplicable expression on his face, and his eyes kept cruising back and forth between the two of them.Knowing that Gongping was listening, Cheng Shi continued to ask. "How does the Metropolitan Police Department view this case? Why did Mr. Kusanagi call you, Mr. Yukawa?" Holding the chopsticks in his hand, Yu Chuan smiled wryly. "Why did Kusanagi call me? Speaking of this matter, it would be a long story. To put it simply, it would be to call to say hello, but he often They have ulterior motives. No, relatively speaking, most of them have ulterior motives." Cheng Shi frowned and shook his head: "I don't understand what that means." "Sorry, you'd better forget what you said with ulterior motives. As for how the Metropolitan Police Department views this case, it is impossible for me, a commoner, to know. And Kusanagi didn't tell me too much. However, they seem to feel that something is not quite right. For example, they have never been able to figure out what Mr. Tsukahara came to Glasspool. Is he here to participate in a briefing on the development of seabed resources? Or is it the main purpose? In fact, it’s not here, and attending the briefing is just incidental?” "main purpose?" "You probably haven't heard from your classmate who is a police officer? It is said that Mr. Tsukahara visited a villa in Dongli before attending the briefing session. That place was once arrested by Mr. Tsukahara himself. The house of the murderer." "Murderer..." Cheng Shi was taken aback, "What's his name?" "I don't know, I didn't ask for the name. If you are interested, I will ask Kusanagi if I have a chance." "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that." "Really? All in all, from my point of view, I have been looking forward to the case being resolved as soon as possible. The police are always around, and the criminal police friends in Tokyo call and ask questions all day long. It is impossible to calm down and concentrate on research. When scholars encounter research bottlenecks, the reason is generally not the research itself, but most of the reasons are environmental or interpersonal issues that have nothing to do with research.” Tang In the second half of Chuan's sentence, it seems that he is not talking to Cheng Shi, but to Gongping. Ok.After glancing sideways at Kyunghei who nodded in response, Chengshi left the room.
