Chapter 1203 Buddha Statue in Old Summer Palace
Xia Chuan's condolences were broadcast on the news broadcast that night.
Then countless calls were made to the hospital to inquire about Academician Qi's condition, including a large number of calls from overseas.
The hospital's answer is always: they have been discharged, and there is no other comment.
There is no need for the hospital to tell me anything else.
If Xia Chuan's appeal in the scientific community makes overseas scientists willing to follow him, then their blood is already boiling.
Xia Chuan's care for the scientists moved them so much that they had never been touched before.
The key is that other people's care is useless.
Xia Chuan not only provides unlimited research and development support to top scientists, but also ensures everyone's health.
In the following half month, more than thirty top scientists gave up their superior life overseas and came to Sichuan Cloud Technology.
The strength of Chuanyun Technology is rapidly expanding.
Xia Chuan's recruitment is going on every day, and the talent pool of candidates is getting stronger and stronger.
Under Bai Yuni's careful management and Xia Chuan's direction, the research and development speed was incredibly fast.
Especially in the alloy laboratory, the number of experts has been expanded to more than 100. Xia Chuan's guidance is almost immediate. There is no one faster than them. The alloy research and development requirements of other project teams can be completed in a few days.
In the end, even the military's alloy research and development was handed over to them. Of course, it would not be in vain, and rare metals were found.
At this moment, the comet heading towards Jupiter was finally tidally locked by Jupiter.
The powerful tidal force tore the comet into twenty-one pieces.
Like a long dragon, they hit Jupiter one after another.
The impact lasted for five days, and the media paid attention to it every day. Images of the impact were played repeatedly, and interviews with experts continued. The public was filled with intense emotional fluctuations. The total energy released by the impact was equivalent to one billion times the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
There are four craters as big as the Earth left on the surface of Jupiter.
If this impact occurs on Earth, the disaster that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 6500 million years ago will happen again.
Perhaps feeling the insignificance of human beings and the impermanence of life, those rich people have become passionate and unrestrained.
……
At 7:22 pm on July 4, the last piece of debris fell to the ground.
Xia Chuan returned home early because Guihua called and someone sent a Buddha statue.
As soon as he walked into the living room, he knew that the person in front of him was not the real owner.
This is a middle-aged man, wearing a tuxedo, looking like a gentleman, but in fact he is dressed like a butler.
"Hello Mr. Xia Chuan, I am Ike Carr, the steward of the Howard family. I have been ordered to send you a hundred Buddha statues as gifts. Duke Howard hopes to get your help."
Xia Chuan asked in confusion: "Where is the Buddha statue?"
"It was detained at the airport. They said it was a cultural relic from the Old Summer Palace." The housekeeper didn't feel embarrassed at all, as if it had been delivered.
Xia Chuan sighed: "No wonder the rich people in the United States are unwilling to send it."
The housekeeper was speechless. Didn’t you just know that?
"Where is the patient?" Xia Chuan asked again.
"In Eagle Country. Please don't get me wrong. If possible, we will definitely send him here. But unfortunately, the patient is in a vegetative state and it is very inconvenient to move."
Xia Chuan lost his temper.
"Okay. I'll take care of the Buddha statue and then go there. You can go back first." Xia Chuan said.
"As ordered." Ike bowed and left.
Xia Chuan picked up the phone and dialed Secretary Liu directly.
"That batch of Buddha statues was given to me, can you return it to me?" Xia Chuan asked with a smile.
Secretary Liu smiled and said: "I'm serious, I'm just keeping the cultural relics from the Old Summer Palace and sending the rest to you."
"How many others are there?" Xia Chuan asked.
"There are five." Secretary Liu said. In fact, those five were also from the Old Summer Palace, but they couldn't give away any of them.
Xia Chuan smiled and said: "There is no need to send five, I will donate them to the country."
"Okay. I guess you can't take it anymore." Secretary Liu said with relief.
Xia Chuan hung up the phone.
Guihua was so angry that her eyebrows stood up: "Isn't this robbery? There are a hundred Buddha statues in the Old Summer Palace?"
Xia Chuan touched her swollen belly and said with a smile:
"Silly girl, why is Cixi called Lafayette? A thousand are too few. They must have been taken directly from the museum. The 100,000 Yuanmingyuan cultural relics in the British Museum are all exquisite. And I have destroyed all the Buddha statues in the United States. , it’s normal for the higher-ups to do this. I’ll just go and get my wish power back.”
Osmanthus immediately calmed down, stuck out her tongue and said, "How awesome are you, giving away Buddha statues directly from the museum?"
"There are many talented people. Let's eat." Xia Chuan walked towards the restaurant.
"Then when are you going to get your wish power?" Osmanthus asked.
"Midnight." Xia Chuan said.
……
museum.
More than two dozen experts are busy. Each Buddha statue has been appraised and is preparing to be photographed and registered.
The curator walked in and said:
"Pause. Buddha statues are valuable cultural relics. Each market price is five million U.S. dollars. These are worth 500 million U.S. dollars. Therefore, safety must be guaranteed first. I will ask the military to arrange surveillance. You can get off work."
Everyone was confused, but they still left one after another.
Then a group of soldiers came in, all carrying boxes. After opening them, they found various Buddha statues. They quickly replaced the Buddha statues on the table and left quickly.
The curator was guarding the pile of Buddha statues alone, his eyes calm.
Half an hour later, another group of soldiers came in, and the leader asked: "I am Wei Jianzheng, how do you want to install surveillance?"
The curator said calmly: "The sooner the better."
"Okay." Wei Jianzheng knew it well, so this was just perfunctory.
He directed the soldiers to start working, glanced at the Buddha statue inadvertently, and then frowned.
He reached out and picked up a bronze Buddha. He became more and more suspicious and asked the curator:
"Is this the batch of Buddha statues from the Old Summer Palace?"
The curator nodded: "That's right."
Wei Jianzheng's eyes became sharp: "This is not a cultural relic. I can see that, but you can't?"
Other soldiers felt something was wrong and gathered around to inspect the Buddha statues.
Sure enough, everyone can see that it is not a cultural relic.
But they are all laymen.
How rough is this?
The curator's silence made Wei Jianzheng furious: "Don't tell me that batch of Buddha statues are fake. The Guo family has spent so much money to feed you morons?"
He slammed the bronze Buddha to the ground.
Snapped!
The Buddha statue was smashed to pieces.
It turned out to be handmade from clay and painted with dye.
Probably because the brushing time was too short, the color faded a little, and Wei Jianzheng got stuck on it.
Wei Jianzheng became more and more angry, rushed up and slapped him hard, bang!
The curator trembled suddenly, with a look of horror in his eyes, and said tremblingly: "What's going on?"
"You don't know what's going on, do you? Okay. Tie him up." Wei Jianzheng ordered boldly.
The subordinates quickly tied up the curator.
The curator suddenly collapsed and burst into tears: "Oh my God, it's not me, someone is controlling me!"
Wei Jianzheng suddenly woke up. The curator had been hypnotized just now and was slapped awake again by him.
As soon as he waved his hand, the soldiers stopped in a daze.
He quickly glanced around and said softly: "Quick, where is the phone?"
