Frank stared at Gary, and Gary stared at him back without fear. But Gary wasn't confident.
After a long pause, Frank said slowly, "Go on."
Gary, as if granted amnesty, quickly told Frank what had happened.
About a month and a half ago, the Science and Technology Department of H Country received a mysterious phone call. After twists and turns, they learned that the phone call was from a high-end research institute in the United States.
They later learned that the high-end research institute had detained a girl named Rowan Palmer, a young girl of eighteen years old.
The detailed information showed that Rowan was a genius in physics, and had published a lot of papers at home and abroad, 90 percent of which were related to photoelectric conversion.
In her paper, she proposed using novel materials to synthesize solar panels that could convert light into energy at high power.
In theory, if the experiment was successful, the conversion power could be ten times as big as today's most advanced solar panels. It meant that if there were enough products to meet the demand of the entire H Country, the cost of electricity per kilowatt hour would drop from 70 cents now to about one cent.
Such technology was enough to overturn the current energy pattern, especially for H Country, which would boost the development of the country.
Key figures of the country had taken notice of Rowan early.
After the college entrance examination, Rowan started her own experiment, but she had been stuck in some key techniques.
At that time, the high-end research institute invited Rowan to attend a forum of technical exchanges. In order to make breakthrough in her experiments, Rowan accepted the invitation.
However, Rowan never returned.
The mysterious phone call said that Rowan's research had made progress. As long as the right materials were available, her experiment could be put to use immediately.
When the Ministry of Science and Technology learned the truth, it took them great effort to get Rowan back from the US.
Then the Cancer Organization showed up.
"At first we didn't know about Rowan. The first time the Cancer Organization took action, she just missed her flight," Gary said with a wry smile.
It was a coincidence.
While waiting at the airport, Rowan felt her stomach was uncomfortable and she couldn't get on the plane, but didn't know that she had escaped an assassination.
The second time, the killers ambushed the airport. Cecilia was on the same flight with Rowan.
When the investigation department was organizing the documents, they happened to discover the coincidence in the horrible event of the airport.
"No."
Frank shook his head. "It makes sense that they couldn't kill Rowan as she missed the flight in the first attack. But in the second time, before the plane landed, they would have killed her if they wanted."
"We also thought about this."
Gary nodded, then said, "Rowan has told us that the top research institute knew she had made technological breakthrough, but they didn't know the details, so they probably wanted to get details from her."
