Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Research on the Secret of Living in the Suburbs

In the history of China, there are many millionaires who are incomparably rich. Counting from Zigong, Tao Zhu, Shi Chong, Deng Tong, to Shen Wansan and Hu Xueyan, they are all billionaires with countless money. The most peculiar one is the He can be regarded as Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty. Other people are rich, either because they are good at doing business, or because the emperor gave them a special gift, but Shen Wansan's fortune is based on a "cornucopia." According to "Tiaodeng Jiyi": "At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansanwei saw a fisherman holding more than a hundred frogs. He cut things off, bought them with shovels, and put them in the pool. Afterwards, the noise was so loud that he couldn't sleep when he was close to his ears. He went to the lake in the morning. Drive them away, and you will see frogs sitting in a clay basin. If they are different, they will be classified as hand washers. Wansan's wife even left a silver hairpin in the basin. The silver hairpin is so full that it cannot be counted. , so it is the wealth of the world."

There is also a notebook of Yu Gangzhai, which says: "It is said that the Wansan family has a cornucopia, throwing things into it, filling it with everything, and using it to enrich the enemy's country." Judging from those two records, with the "cornucopia", it is really impossible not to make a fortune. The first record, more or less "what goes around, is rewarded with good", the frog repays his kindness and presents the cornucopia in front of Shen Wansan's eyes. Shen Wansan discovered the magical effect of the cornucopia entirely because his wife discovered it by accident, and the cornucopia seems to be only It works on gold and silver. Otherwise, Shen Wansan used the cornucopia as a "hand smear", and as soon as he put his hand down, many hands would appear in the cornucopia, and Shen Wansan would become a monster!

Regardless of the authenticity of the legend of the cornucopia, there is no doubt that Shen Wansan is as rich as an enemy.Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing and built Nanjing City together with him. The half of Shen Wansan was completed in three days. It can be seen that his financial resources are still higher than that of the emperor. He must have doubled the "material stimulation" to achieve this goal. . "Yunjiao Pavilion Notes", a book said: "My great ancestor conquered Jinling and wanted to build a capital and expand its outer city. When the army was dying and the government treasury was short of plaques, it was difficult to accomplish anything. Wansan relied on it. Fu, if you want to build halfway with the Taizu, start construction at the same time, and finish it in three days."

Shen Wansan had a cornucopia, and if he wanted gold or silver, he did as he pleased, so he was naturally rich beyond description.However, Fu harmed him and made him a little bit smug. According to the biography of Empress Ma of the Ming Dynasty, after he built Jinling City, he invited the army to reward the army. Execute!" To kill his head, we know that Ming Taizu held a grudge, and finally took his cornucopia, smashed it and buried it under the Jinling Gate, because Jinling Gate is commonly known as the Jubao Gate, and Shen Wansan was also exiled to Yunnan. , the enemy of wealth is no match for power, poor Shen Wansan, "a spring dream dawns in the south of the Yangtze River".

Lala Zaza copied many books and published many discussions, which seemed to have nothing to do with the novel, but this novel is about a cornucopia. Guo Youlun and his girlfriend Cai Meiyue went on a trip to the countryside together. When they set off, the weather was fine. Guo Youlun was driving his new motorcycle, and it was very majestic. However, motorcycles are most afraid of rain. When they arrived at the destination, they spread out the picnic tablecloth. Dark clouds gathered and it was about to rain.Guo Youlun still wanted to take Cai Meiyue to shelter from the rain under the big tree, but the sky was getting darker and thunder was rumbling, they got scared and rushed towards a small road.

By the time they came to the door of a small villa, the heavy rain had already poured down. Guo Youlun and Cai Meiyue ran to the eaves to shelter from the rain, but because the rain was too heavy, their bodies were already soaked by the rain in less than two minutes, and during these two minutes, Guo Youlun kept knocking on the door, hoping to escape the rain inside. It seems that there is no one in the room, otherwise, Guo Youlun knocked on the door for two minutes and almost tore down the door, if there is someone in the room, why can't he hear it? However, there are often unexpected things in the world. Just when they thought there was no one in the room, the door opened.

The door was only opened a little, and the door was still tied with a thick iron chain. Inside the door, only half of a middle-aged man's face could be seen.The middle-aged man looked impatient and shouted: "What's the matter?" Guo Youlun hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, it's raining heavily outside, can you let us come in to shelter from the rain?" Guo Youlun is a high-achieving student who just graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has a doctorate and has been employed as a senior engineer in an electronics factory. He looks gentle and personable; Cai Meiyue is a young and beautiful girl.The middle-aged man in the door sized them up for a full minute, seeing that they really didn't look like gangsters, and then reluctantly said: "Okay, but I don't like people harassing me, once the rain stops, you have to go !"

Guo Youlun hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, thank you!" The middle-aged man pulled the door chain, opened the door, and let Guo Youlun and Cai Meiyue in.As soon as he entered, Guo Youlun glanced at the middle-aged man and then smiled.The middle-aged man was wearing a white robe, and there was a smell that Guo Youlun was very familiar with, it was a smell of high-grade welding oil. That middle-aged man must be working, and Guo Youlun may not be unfamiliar with his work. However, because the middle-aged man was very indifferent, Guo Youlun couldn't say anything more, so he just sat down with Cai Meiyue, and the middle-aged man hurried away by a staircase without even a polite word go down.

Guo Youlun and Cai Meiyue sat down. It was a small living room with simple furnishings. Cai Meiyue whispered: "The owner here seems to be a hermit isolated from the world!" Guo Youlun smiled: "Of course not. I dare say he is a scientist and is working in his laboratory. He may be my colleague. Scientists are always a little weird." Cai Meiyue looked at Guo Youlun with bright eyes: "You are not weird at all." Guo Youlun smiled, feeling a sweetness in his heart, the hands of the two of them could not help but hold each other tightly. At this moment, suddenly, there was a dull explosion from downstairs.

The sound of the explosion startled both Guo Youlun and Cai Meiyue. Immediately afterwards, there was another thick smoke rising from downstairs. Guo Youlun jumped up and said loudly, "What happened? My friend, what are you doing?" How is it?" In the sound of Guo Youlun's call, the smoke became denser, and in the thick smoke, the middle-aged man rushed up, ran up the stairs, panting, his face was ashen, Guo Youlun hurriedly said: "What happened?" .” The middle-aged man stared at Guo Youlun fiercely: "None of your business!" Guo Youlun touched a big nail, stepped back half a step, and made no sound.The middle-aged man turned around and looked downstairs. At that time, the thick smoke was gradually dissipating, but the middle-aged man's face became more and more ugly.

Xiao Guo felt very sorry in his heart, if he didn't come, maybe he wouldn't have any accidents. Although Guo Youlun encountered a big setback, he still said at this moment: "My friend, if I can help you, I am willing to help you." The middle-aged man snorted and said, "What do you know?" Guo Youlun said in a deep voice: "I may not know anything, but I am a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology." The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Guo Youlun with interest: "Oh, do you recognize Dr. Kang Xin?" Guo Youlun couldn't help laughing: "That bearded man? He's my advisor, and I know him too well!" The middle-aged man also laughed: "He still has that big beard? How is his wife? I really miss his wife's butter cakes, which are the most delicious in the world." Guo Youlun couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.Dr. Consin is one of the authoritative professors in the university, and only his closest friends can taste the butter cake baked by Mrs. Consin, so the middle-aged man in front of him must also be a great scientist ! After being stunned for a while, Guo Youlun couldn't help but respect: "Sir, are you also a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology?" The middle-aged man shook his head: "No!" He said that word and looked up: "The rain has stopped, you can go!" Guo Youlun thought that he and the other party had already talked very well, but suddenly, the middle-aged man unceremoniously issued an order to chase away the guest, which made Guo Youlun feel very embarrassed. He wanted to say something, but Cai Meiyue was in front of him. behind him, quietly tugging at the hem of his clothes. Guo Youlun had no choice but to say: "Thank you for letting us take shelter from the rain. I hope that your work is not lost because of our disturbance." The middle-aged man snorted and said, "Let's go!" Guo Youlun and Cai Meiyue, in such a situation, naturally couldn't stay any longer, they still maintained their proper manners and withdrew.The sky had cleared up, so they naturally lost interest in the outing and returned to the urban area immediately. The two of them kept talking about the middle-aged man along the way, and Guo Youlun concluded that since the middle-aged man knew Dr. Kang Xin so well, he must be an old man from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Therefore, after sending Cai Meiyue home, the first thing he did when he returned to his home was to read the thick school magazine. In the school magazine, Guo Youlun made a discovery. He saw the photo of the middle-aged man. The brief introduction is: Dr. Wang Zhengcao, an outstanding scientist, has made great contributions to copying technology and new TV theory, and has participated in the world's largest His work on the manufacture of electron microscopes, and his theory on particle half-body electrons are outstanding and immortal. He was one of the youngest professors during his teaching in this school. The Wang Zhengcao in that photo seems to be only in his twenties, but the current Wang Zhengcao is nearly fifty years old, so Guo Youlun has never heard his name in school. What surprised Guo Youlun was, what was such an outstanding scientist doing while locked up in the suburbs by himself? What Wang Zhengcao studies is cutting-edge science. To make new achievements in his science, it is definitely not possible for one person to succeed in the laboratory, and it requires a large number of equipment. Such equipment can hardly be afforded by any individual. affordable. This matter had nothing to do with me at all, but that young doctor, the elder brother of Mr. Guo Youlun, was once a staff member in my import and export company, and was also one of my many things. A very capable assistant. Later, he became a private detective, established a detective agency, and has become a famous detective.By the way, my old readers must have understood that he is Xiao Guo, and Guo Youlun is Xiao Guo's younger brother. And it was a very accidental opportunity for me to know this matter. Xiao Guo invited me to dinner. A university professorship, but living in seclusion in the countryside, doing experimental work, what do you think he is doing for?" When I heard Xiao Guo ask me this way, I turned the wine glass, smiled, and said, "What does he want to do? That's too difficult to answer. Maybe he just wants to invent a doll that can talk to people, or maybe , he is immersed in the research of weapons to destroy the world!" Xiao Guo shrugged, and I asked casually, "Who is that professor you're talking about?" Xiao Guo said: "His name is Wang Zhengcao, Dr. Wang Zhengcao." I was stunned for a while, I have heard of this person's name, he was once a well-known scientist with a bad temper, and he held an extremely important position in the engineering world, I was stunned for a while, and then said: "So it is He, that's really unexpected, he can be said to be the father of modern photocopying technology, and based on his theories, he made all kinds of photocopiers." Xiao Guo said: "That's right, after my younger brother mentioned him to me, I checked his information, and it was exactly as you said, so what do you think he is doing now?" I took a sip of my wine and said, "How do I know." Therefore, Xiao Guo told the story of how Guo Youlun and Cai Meiyue went to Wang Zhengcao to take shelter from the rain when they went outing in the rain. I listened attentively, and when Xiao Guo finished speaking, I said, "Of course he is engaged in a very important research work." Xiao Guo said: "But why did he hide and study?" I said: "Or he thinks that his research work should be kept extremely secret, and he doesn't want anyone to know. He has the right to do that, and we don't have to explore other people's secrets, do we?" Xiao Guo laughed: "I know, even though you said that, in your heart, you want to know what he is doing more than I do." I couldn't help but smiled bitterly, Xiao Guo was right, I have known Xiao Guo for too long, this is my fatal weakness.When I know something, even if it has nothing to do with me, I must find out the answer, otherwise, even if I sleep on the most comfortable bed, I will not be able to sleep; , will also eat without knowing its taste. I looked at Xiao Guo: "Is there any way you can know what this doctor is doing?" Xiao Guo said: "You have much more ways than I do, why bother to ask me!" I took a breath: "I've already thought about it, straight to the point, I'm going to visit that Doctor Strange. Can you get his address from your brother? I'm going right now." Xiao Guo shouted: "Go now? Are you in a hurry?" I said, "Not at all, you know I'm very curious!" Xiao Guo put down his wine glass and went to make a phone call. Three minutes later, he came back and told me the address of Dr. Wang Zhengcao. I went out immediately. Twenty minutes later, I turned into that secluded path, and after another two minutes, My car is parked in front of that house. It was a moonlit night, and the moonlight was very good. Under the moonlight, the house had a mysterious feeling (maybe it was my psychological effect, because I knew that there was a mysterious person living in the house). There was no light in the house. I got out of the car and went to the house. It was so quiet that when I started knocking on the door, even I was startled by the knocking. I kept knocking on the door for five minutes, and it hurt even my hands, so I started kicking, and after another two minutes of kicking, I saw the lights inside. While the lights were on inside, I heard an extremely angry voice shouting, "Who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" I turned my wrist to look at it, really, it was nearly one o'clock, and I hurriedly said loudly: "I'm sorry, Dr. Wang, to bother you, but I really want to see you, I'm so sorry!"
