Japan: A New Age - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Start

After returning to the laboratory, Makimura picked up the handset and pushed the extension phone number of Dean Yamato.

"Yes, Yamato."

"Oh, Mr. Yamato. I'm Makimura. There's an important story, but how about it?"

"Well, it's free this afternoon. Can I come soon?"

"Yes, but before that, I would like you to read the article you would like to talk about, so I will send it by e-mail from now. Please read it and then contact me at a convenient time Would you like it?"

"OK. I'm waiting for an email."

　Makimura sent an email to Professor Yamato and thought about it.

　This time, Junpei's situation is very easy to do, but on the other hand, there are many shortages to manage by myself.

Junpei wears so-called cats around his grandmother who has died until now, but when he is 10 years old, he tries to ask himself about the world.

The word "genius" is not enough to finish a paper that I wrote in such a short time. Probably the first level of talent born in history beyond Estein.

It is immeasurable how far it is capable.

Probably, I will be able to do ground-breaking work outside the field of physics, which is my specialty. The realization of nuclear fusion, as shown in the present paper, may be realized in a very short time if he takes the initiative and obtains sufficient funds. Perhaps the biggest dilemma of the present society at the present time is the squeeze of energy resources, and if this cheap and sufficient supply can be secured, other resource shortages can be resolved.

Being involved in the review of the world of big inventions is a great opportunity for myself, but unfortunately I need a large network of people and gold for future speedy development, which I do not have.

　When the phone rang and picked up the handset, about an hour had passed since the previous call.

"I'm Yamato. Did you write that paper?" I try to talk calmly, but I can feel the excitement that can not be hidden.

"No, I know you uploaded the paper I showed before to the HP, but I've sent it to you in the form of an answer to that. Is it time for now?"

"Waiting"

I hurriedly took up the clear file containing the papers, opened the door of the graduate student room, and called out to Saito and other graduate students, "I'm going to Mr. Yamato's place." Forcibly settle down for a short run and go to the professor's room.

In response to the knock, "Please" opened the door, shouted, "I'm sorry," and sat down on the chair in front of Professor Yamato. Before the professor, there is a printed paper of the problem, and many markers have already been drawn.

"I read. It's the first time I've been a scholar. It's such a thing. What is it about?"

"I've been asking him questions to the classroom HP for a long time, Mr. Yoshikawa, but he wrote it and sent it to me by email as he completed my paper."

"Sure, you published that paper on the HP two weeks ago. It's just two weeks to think about it and put it into shape. I can't believe it! By the way, with Yoshikawa, Are you young or have you met?"

"Yes, I'm a 4th grade elementary school student, 10 years old. It's near Hashima Elementary School. It looks like a normal elementary schoolboy. My back is about 140cm tall, so I think it's a little big."

"Yes! Elementary school students. Did you really write it yourself?"

"I think it's true. I said that I was a genius myself. An old woman who recently died told me to hide her talent. Since she was 10 years old, she thought she was ready to go out into the world. Apparently, I rely on the Internet for my studies, and I feel like I am at the limit, and I feel like I am excited about elementary school."

"Hmm, it seems like it's going to be a historical story, but when it comes to convenience, I don't think it's so convenient. So what about parents?"

"I'm too busy with my parents, and I don't seem to know them much."

"It would be even better if there wasn't much interference from parents.

As you know, the impact of this paper is immeasurable. Of course, the Nobel Prize as a researcher is solid. It is for you two of us that you took the lead and completed it as a disciple Yoshikawa.　

"No, of course, at the time of presentation, Professor Yamato was also the author........."

"No, I haven't contributed to this matter at all, and anyone who knows it knows. I also have dust. Rather, it's this practical application. It's a bit of an outsider, but it's an area where people's connections are absolutely necessary. In addition, it is impossible to do so much when it is so important, and I need an absolute secret for a while.

Professor Yamato grinned and looked at Makimura.

"Yes, I think this paper is a little over-exploited for the time being, and I can not put it out as it is, and I think that some kind of big framework is necessary to accelerate its practical application. Is not fatal." Makimura responds.

"After all, I think that it is impossible for a private company, and I think it is necessary to move the country. Especially in the case of Mr. Yoshikawa, it will be necessary to arrange the school from the line of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. If known, strong security to his individual and relatives is not necessary.

For now, let's talk about a junior who is familiar with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Fortunately, the current administration has the feeling that it will take positive steps to address these issues in the interest of the national interest. I will talk to you immediately."

　Professor Yamato put out his smartphone to find the other person and started talking.

"Mr. Tanaka, I'm Yamato from Konan University. I haven't heard from you. Yes. Yes. I have a bit of an open talk, but I'd like to meet you. How is it convenient? Yes. Today is already Friday, so it will be next week or later. Yes, Tuesday, afternoon?”

　While the professor asks Makimura with his eyes, Makimura nods.

“Okay, it’s 2:00 pm on Tuesday, so I'll email you the explanation by Monday morning”, Yamato tells the phone and explains after turning off his smartphone.

"He is the Director of Industry, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and is said to be the Deputy Secretary. He also has a big pipe in the administration."

“Oh well, I got the appointment,” says Makimura, but Yamato says.　

"Yeah, my close classmate brother. He's a bureaucratic man. I'd like to cut it off and send it to me for the time being. For tomorrow, it's Saturday, but keyman Yoshikawa-kun. I want to visit my house. Can you arrange it?"

　Junpei Yoshikawa's house is located in the foothills of the suburbs of N city, and is a single-family house in a housing complex that has been around for 10 years. It is about 3km from Gangnam University. The house is similar to a two-story house, with a parking lot and a small garden facing the road facing south. Two parking lots can be parked and a white ordinary car One is stopped. Stop Professor Yamato's sedan on the road and press the intercom at the gatepost.

In reply to "yes", "I told Mr. Junpei Mr. Yamato, a professor at Gangnam University, and Makimura, an associate professor."　

The "Please come in" entrance opened, and a woman in her late thirties appears to be in her late 30s. Junpei is waiting on the front door. At the entrance, I bowed to a woman and said, "I'm Yamato, a physics department at Gangnam University, this is Makimura, an associate professor.

　The woman, as confused, leads inside with "No, I'm bothered. Well, please come up."

When I went up, Junpei whispered, "Mr. Makimura, welcome."

　Yamato and Makimura sat down on a sofa in a small drawing room, a woman prepared to prepare tea, and Junpei sat down on the back of the sofa for two people.

　Yamato says, "You're Junpei Yoshikawa. I'm Yamato, who works with Professor Makimura." Junpei asks.

"Mr. Yamato is Mr. Makimura's teacher."

"Yeah, that's right. Because I taught as a teacher when Makimura was a student."

　There, the mother with tea and sweets puts it on the table. "Please say coarse tea."

"Thank you." As Yamato and Makimura bow their heads, their mother bows again.

"Again, I am Yoko, Junpei's mother. Thank you very much. I wish my husband could be with me today, but I was so busy working. Please have a cup of tea."

　Professor Yamato says while picking up tea. "Your husband seems busy"

"Yes, it's late at night, and I have a lot of business trips, so I can't take a lot of time off. I'm working and I can take a rest on Sundays, but I can't usually go home too early.

So, let's leave Junpei to my mother, who died two months ago." Yoko cut the words and listened. "What are you doing today?"

　Professor Yamato drinks a sip of tea and then prompts Makimura with his eyes.

"I am a physics expert, but the other day I published a paper on a new theory of atoms on the Internet. In response, my child Junpei-kun sent me a paper that is a development of my paper. It was.

The content is extremely advanced, and I'm surprised at the completed version. Maybe it's well worth the Nobel Prize.''

"Yeah! That's right! Understanding what the university professor wrote..."

　Therefore, Professor Yamato adds.

“If it's just an academic story, it ends with the fact that it was a great breakthrough. However, the results of this paper may have the impact of changing the mechanism of the world itself. It's expensive.''

　Yoko was stunned and couldn't reply, just staring at Yamato.

"In a nutshell, this is a clarification that "it is possible to create a mechanism that produces infinite energy at a very low cost," and it also explains how to manufacture the device." Yamato said and cut the words.

“Young child Junpei is a genius at a level that never appeared before. On the other hand, he is a student who goes to elementary school. I will.

Moreover, if Junpei's true ability becomes known to the world, he will not be able to go out very normally. Moreover, it is extremely dangerous.

　To foreigners or companies, your child will look like a golden egg goose.

We want to make full use of Junpei's ability. But for that, we need some new mechanism, which cannot be done without the consent of Junpei's mother and father.

　Once again, Yamato cuts out the words and asks Junpei. "Shunpei, you have extraordinary abilities. What do you want to do with it?"

　Junpei replied immediately. "I want to use it. For me and the world."

"Do you want to get people's attention? Like a star"

"No, I'm sorry I can't go out freely. And I'm even more afraid to be kidnapped."

　Yamato says. “Mom, we are planning to meet with an executive from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in Tokyo next week on this matter. So, I would like to discuss how to make the best use of Junpei's achievements. Maybe the country I think that he will make an offer to make the most of Junpei's ability. believe.

As for our heart, we hope that Junpei will belong to our Gangnam University in some way and act as a cover for the university. Our university also has an elementary school attached to the Faculty of Education.

In any case, I want to hide Junpei's abilities and move as freely as possible while hiding. How about such a place? When I come back from Tokyo, I would like to talk with my husband.''

"Yes, I'll think slowly and I'll talk to my husband," says Yoko.

　On the way back, Yamato and Makimura stopped by a nearby coffee shop to talk about their future.

"Makimura, for the time being, I have no choice but to hide Mr. Yoshikawa, so the papers presented at academic conferences need to be modified."

"Yes, but it is enough to prove that so-called cold fusion is possible. However, I would like to realize that accepting Professor Yoshikawa at the university is definitely possible. Read his paper. I felt that he was also good at thinking about a new mechanism by combining people's thoughts and results well. I feel like I am born one after another.''

"Yeah, I was just thinking about that. If I could invite him into the university, I feel that the Renaissance of Gangnam University will begin."
