Great Country Academician

After arranging the work related to the Mid-Autumn Festival moon landing project, Xu Chuan picked up the phone on the table and sent a message, then stood up and left the office.

Downstairs, Zheng Hai had already parked outside the building and waited.

"Where are you going, professor."

Xu Chuan got in the car, and Zheng Hai turned his head and asked.

"Jinling South Station."

"Pick someone up?" Zheng Hai asked curiously while starting the car.

"Yeah."

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded: "Xiao Xiao is back."

Zheng Hai was a little surprised, and asked curiously: "Xu Xiao, has she graduated? It seems that it has not been a few years?"

Having been a driver and security guard for Xu Chuan for many years, he naturally knows the situation of his family.

In his eyes, Xu Xiao, the once naughty little girl, is also regarded as a sister, after all, she has always called him Brother Zheng.

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Well, you graduated and are back, just in time."

Zheng Hai smiled, and did not ask more questions, and drove the car steadily towards Jinling South Station.

At Jinling South Station, Xu Chuan was waiting quietly in the reception hall.

Xu Xiao did not fly directly to Jinling. There were fewer flights from the UK to here than to Shanghai, so there were fewer choices. The girl flew directly to Shanghai and then took the high-speed train.

After waiting for a while, a beautiful figure dragging luggage caught his eye in the crowd.

With a smile, Xu Chuan waved at her.

Soon, the other party noticed this side and trotted over with the luggage.

"Brother!"

Trotting over, grabbing Xu Chuan's arm and shaking his head, Xu Xiao said with a grin: "Brother, did you miss me?"

Xu Chuan took the suitcase from her, smiled and rubbed her head, and said: "Of course."

If you want to say who he is most worried about, it is naturally the sister who studied abroad in Europe before.

After all, among the close friends around him, only this one is still studying abroad.

Now that he is finally back safely, the huge stone hanging in his heart has finally been put down.

After Xu Xiao laughed and made a fuss for a while, she greeted Zheng Hai who was standing beside her.

"Brother Zheng, you are still driving for my brother. Haven't you been promoted?"

Zheng Hai smiled and said, "What's wrong with driving for your brother? This is my job."

After chatting for a while, Xu Chuan took the lead and said, "Let's go, get in the car first, and talk again when we get back."

Zheng Hai nodded, took the luggage from Xu Chuan, and led the way to the parking lot.

The Red Flag car was driving on the road, and the two siblings were chatting in the back seat.

It was mainly related to Xu Xiao's graduation work and research on virtual reality technology during this period. After all, Xu Chuan had paved her way.

And Xu Xiao was also very motivated and embarked on the path of a scientific researcher in the direction of study she chose.

Yes, although the research field of virtual reality technology was proposed by Xu Chuan, he only gave a suggestion.

The final decision was in Xu Xiao's hands.

After all, if he didn't want to go, Xu Chuan couldn't force her to go this way.

"By the way, brother."

In the back seat, Xu Xiao suddenly remembered something, turned around and blinked her big eyes to look at her brother, and asked:

"Last time you called me, you said you would give me a graduation gift, where is the gift?"

Xu Chuan glanced at her, smiled, and said: "Why are you in a hurry, it's still in the car, when have I ever broken my promise?"

Xu Xiao stuck out her tongue, skipped this matter and started talking about other things.

After about half an hour's drive, the Hongqi car quickly arrived at the Xinghai Research Institute.

For Xu Xiao, it was not the first time she came here. She walked in front of Xu Chuan with ease and entered her brother's office first.

"Brother, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Are you going back this year?"

Standing next to the extremely wide floor-to-ceiling window, Xu Xiao took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator in the office by herself, took a sip and asked.

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "I can't go back. Xiashu Aerospace Base is preparing for the moon landing project. I want to stay here to take charge of the overall situation."

"Moon landing!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Brother, brother, I want to go too!"

Xu Chuan glanced at her and said, "Wait, your brother wants to go too."

Not only Xu Xiao, he himself is also thinking about when he can go to the moon. But judging from the current situation, he can't go up.

As for Xu Xiao, although it is easier for him to go to the moon, if he really wants to have this idea, he still has to train in physical fitness, aerospace knowledge and other aspects. Xu Xiao can't go up without three to five months or half a year.

Xu Xiao pouted, a little disappointed, but the joy of returning home is greater than the disappointment at this time, and she quickly put it aside.

Looking at the scenery outside, Xu Xiao thought for a while and then suggested: "Brother, if you don't go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, why not call your parents over?"

In front of the bookcase, Xu Chuan took out the transaction contract with Elon Musk from the drawer and said with a smile: "Sure, you are back, and reunion is reunion wherever you are."

Bringing parents here to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival is indeed a good idea.

On the one hand, he really can't go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the other hand, he is now trying to avoid going back.

Because for him, every long trip can be said to be a big deal.

Not only will the security be tossed around, but also the various influences brought by himself.

Xu Xiao rolled her eyes for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother, in addition to my parents, I want to invite two more people."

Xu Chuan glanced at her and said: "If you can invite them."

He knew who the other two people this girl wanted to invite were, but he didn't refuse.

But in his opinion, the probability that Liu Jiaxin and Liu Jiaying would choose to come was very small.

On Mid-Autumn Festival, they would probably go back to their hometown in Sichuan to accompany their mother-in-law, who was their only relative.

Xu Chuan was still very clear about this.

Without chatting about such things, he handed over the document in his hand and said: "A graduation gift for you."

"What is it, brother."

Xu Xiao took the file bag curiously, opened it, and took out a document from it.

After flipping through it briefly, she was shocked and looked over with surprise.

"This brother, this is..."

A contract!

The contract is not the key, the key is the content of the contract!

Neuralink brain-computer interface company!

For Xu Xiao, whose research direction is virtual reality technology, how could she not have heard of this company?

Musk's well-known technology company has mastered a variety of brain-computer interface technologies.

More importantly, the current valuation of this company (not listed) is about 6 billion US dollars.

The contract states that she can control 90% of the shares, that is, the value of this graduation gift, according to the current exchange rate between RMB and US dollars, is as high as 27 billion RMB.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "You have been studying brain nerve control devices and virtual reality, this gift is very suitable."

"I have seen that some of the technologies in Neuralink brain-computer interface company are very helpful for your research."

Xu Xiao took a deep breath, came back to his senses from the shock, and said, "This is too expensive, brother, I can't take it."

If it was any other gift, she would accept it.

But this gift was obviously beyond her ability. A huge company with billions of dollars and a valuation of more than 20 billion or nearly 30 billion RMB, not to mention other things, whether she could control it was a big question.

After all, she had just graduated. If she failed, it would be a big loss.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about other things, just do your own research well."

"As for other things, such as company management, we can just hire professional company managers when the time comes."

Xu Xiao said with a bitter face, "But this is too expensive, tens of billions of MiGold, what if..."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, just tens of billions of MiGold, don't worry about losing it, for me it's just part of the licensing fee for lithium-sulfur battery technology."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao looked at his brother curiously and asked, "Speaking of which, how much money do you have now, brother?"

Xu Chuan thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Xu Xiao: "????"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I'm really not sure how much money I have now, I haven't counted it in detail."

"What about it?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "Hundreds of billions? Trillions are also possible."

Hearing the figures of hundreds of billions and trillions, Xu Xiao was stunned on the spot.

With his mouth slightly open, a standard exclamation came out.

"Fuck!"

After coming back to his senses, Xu Xiao swallowed the air, his eyes full of golden light.

"Brother! So you are so rich!"

Xu Chuan shrugged and said, "Most of it is company shares and so on, not much liquid funds."

He really didn't know how much money he had.

Just the 5% stake in Fusion Energy Co., Ltd. is an astronomical figure.

This company is not listed, so he can't accurately judge how much his shares are worth.

Of course, no matter how much it is worth, he can't sell this 5% stake.

In addition to the shares of Fusion Energy Co., Ltd., he also holds the shares of Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Chuanhai Network Technology Co., Ltd., and part of Xinghai Research Institute.

Oh, there is also a virtual reality company called "Xingguang" that was previously invested in Xu Xiao for 200 million yuan, but this size is too small and dispensable.

But even if the shares of Fusion Energy Co., Ltd. are put aside, his assets are at least tens of billions.

If the Forbes rankings are counted, he will definitely be on the list.

Xu Chuan was not very interested in being on the rich list. If he didn't mention it, even if the Forbes list speculated about his assets, it would not dare to write his name on it.

But what is certain is that for him now, money is indeed just a number.

As Xu Chuan expected, Xu Xiao finally failed to bring Liu Jiaxin and Liu Jiaying to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two sisters had already returned to their hometown in Sichuan.

However, Xu's father and mother had already come. After sending the luggage to the villa at the foot of Zijin Mountain, the two elders who were very interested in the space shuttle and the moon landing came to the Xiashu Space Base under the leadership of Zheng Hai.

In the office, Xu Chuan was arranging and confirming the final moon landing work.

The assistant knocked on the door and then sent Xu's father and mother and Xu Xiao in.

"Dad, Mom."

Seeing the two elders coming in, Xu Chuan put down the pen in his hand and stood up to greet them with a smile.

"It's okay, you can do your work first."

Father Xu waved his hand and asked Xu Chuan to do his own thing, his eyes scanning the office.

Xu Chuan smiled and explained: "It's okay, I've already done what I should do, and I'm just looking at the documents now."

Parents came from afar, so no matter how busy they are, they can put their work aside for now.

On the side, Xu's mother looked Xu Chuan up and down, and she was relieved to see that he didn't look much different.

It's been almost half a year since they last saw each other. As parents, how could they not worry about their son who is away from home?

On the side, Xu Xiao said with a smile: "Brother, go and do your work. I'm here. I'll take my parents for a walk."

Looking at his father standing next to the French window, staring at the space shuttle not far away, Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Sit down for a while, I'll take you to visit the space shuttle later."

Hearing this, Xu's father turned around and said with some concern: "Will it not cause any interference to your work?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just a look, no problem."

Take the family on the Hanhai for a tour, satisfy the curiosity of the family, and then the group quickly evacuated the runway without causing any trouble to the development of the space work.

With the passage of time, the sun began to gradually set in the west, and night began to fall.

At this moment, the space launch center is brightly lit.

The three space shuttles, Hanhai, Fuyao, and Xinghai, which have been prepared, have completed the final inspection and are arranged in an orderly manner on the spacious runway.

The ground crew was busy shuttling around on the takeoff runway, and under the command of the engineer, they were doing the final inspection of the launch site and the three space shuttles.

The moon landing plan this time has been set, and the ignition is scheduled to start at 10 o'clock in the evening.

Standing next to the transparent glass window of the control tower, Xu Chuan and his family quietly waited for the upcoming launch.

Before the launch, compared with others, he was the most relaxed one.

After all, it was not the first time to land on the moon. Although the scale of the mission this time was larger, he did not need to command it personally.

As time passed by, it arrived at 10 o'clock. The Hanhai, which crossed the end of the spacious runway, started first. The red and purple tail flame swayed in the night sky, like a meteor across the sky, heading towards the bright new moon at this moment.

"It's so beautiful, brother, just like a meteor."

The first time he saw the space shuttle take off, Xu Xiao, who was standing aside, couldn't help but praise it.

Xu Chuan's eyes also followed the take-off of the Hanhai. This shocking scene will never get boring no matter how many times you watch it.

On the side, watching the red-purple arc light carrying the silver spacecraft slowly leave the ground from the end of the runway and fly to the distant skyline, Xu's father suddenly sighed.

"Seeing this scene, I suddenly understand why you wanted to go up before."

Xu Chuan turned his head and looked over, smiling and said: "I'll take you for a ride some other day? Go to space to see?"

Hearing this, Xu's father shook his head without hesitation and said: "That's not necessary. I'm very satisfied to be able to stand here and watch the launch of this space shuttle today."

On the side, Xu's mother rolled her eyes at Xu's father and said: "With his old bones, he still wants to go to space. He can get backaches just by sitting on a plane. Don't let him fall apart."

Xu's father smiled and didn't refute. Looking at the light that had already gone far away and opened a ray of light like a meteor in the dark night sky, he just watched quietly, admired, and blessed.

They now have the space shuttles that they could only see on TV and in the news.

They have also carried out manned moon landings that they could only see in reports and look forward to in their hearts. They can even stand here and watch the space shuttles fly away.

As a simple farmer who was born in the 1970s and has experienced countless changes, he only has the most sincere feeling in his heart at this moment.

"It's great that the motherland has become stronger."
