Technological Hegemony

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. In just two or three days, the name of the space elevator has been widely spread, attracting everyone's attention.

And the few thin nanotubes on Weigu Island have become some kind of mysterious totem with symbolic significance, attracting countless media from all over the world, unable to land on the island, the reporters rented boats and stationed around, Use a telephoto lens to aim at Weigu Island.

An astonishing number of articles quickly occupied the headlines of all media, many of which contained sensational gossip.

Since Luo Jia is a staunch China Firstist and dislikes the hypocrisy and double standards of the West, some people spread rumors that Xingchen Technology is evil and perverted, and plans to launch space-based weapons from Station Zero to destroy the earth first and then rebuild it. Ultimately achieve hegemony.

There are also rumors that Xingchen Technology has made great efforts to build the Life Science Department in order to emulate Parasol's biochemical crisis, first exterminate human beings, and then replace them with clones.

Anyway, the global public opinion is extremely lively now, and all kinds of rumors are flying everywhere.

"Destroy the earth first, and then rebuild it?" At the morning meeting of the Administration Bureau, Wen Chengling said helplessly: "It's not a pain in the ass, what good will destroying the earth do us? Those who spread such rumors, do you think they are It's sick, they don't understand us at all, they treat us like animals."

"Hey, it's normal for Westerners not to understand us." An Ran shrugged her shoulders and said, "A considerable number of foreigners always think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and don't even bother to understand the outside world. In 2008, Russia sent troops. Beating Georgia, the North American people stopped doing it at that time, and wanted to find Russia desperately."

"Everyone wondered why North America's melon-eaters were so excited when Russia fought against Georgia. Later, the truth finally came to light. It turned out that there is a state in North America called Georgia. I thought Russia was going to attack North America."

It was a pleasant episode, and everyone laughed. After laughing, they turned their attention to Luo Jia who was sitting at the top.

"I have said more than once that the earth is too small. If human beings are still enterprising, the sea of ​​stars will be our only choice. When we go to the sea of ​​stars, we should be led by us Huaxia." Luo Jia said solemnly : "This point will never change. Let them talk about gossip. Moving forward is our only direction."

"The establishment of the space elevator will take about a year. During this time, we will do our best to support the space program. Although the Karman vortex street power generation array has excellent effects, it cannot be applied outside the earth. Therefore, our mining Ships, our lunar colonies, our ion thrusters, all need controlled fusion as a front-end technology."

Everyone nodded,

It seems that the company's next development focus will undoubtedly be controllable fusion.

An Ran scratched her head with a ballpoint pen, "Speaking of the matter of controllable fusion, I just got news from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that several bigwigs are very interested in us taking over the Southwest Fusion Base and remaking it."

"Oh? Who are the Chinese Academy of Sciences? What are they interested in?" Luo Jia asked.

An Ran immediately mentioned the names of several people. Although Luo Jia did not know them, he had heard of them all. They were experts in the field and leaders in controllable fusion research.

As for why they came, it is actually very simple. According to the revelation and information from Black Sword, Luo Jia asked Dr. Xie Tian's team to carry out a large-scale transformation of the original fusion facility in Chengdu. After hearing about it, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was very curious and planned to Go and have a look.

"The bosses of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are not easy to fool. We must find a way to give the credit to the team and not let them all stare at me." Luo Jia pondered in her heart.

So far, except for the brainless Germans, there is no second institution in the world that studies stellarators. Xingchen Technology suddenly jumped from tokamak to stellarator. It would be strange if the Chinese Academy of Sciences was not curious. After all, Xingchen Technology Every move has attracted worldwide attention. It is really normal for the national team to send a group of experts to observe.

After thinking for a while, Luo Jia said: "The work of the Rocket Lab is over. How about it, I will go to Chengdu and leave in the afternoon. I will receive the expert team tomorrow and treat them to two hot pot meals by the way."

An Ran nodded with a smile, "That's fine, you can go and have a good relationship. After all, you and Xie Tian jointly proposed the stellarator plan, and you know the situation better than me."

Luo Jia didn't say anything. In order to keep it secret, not only did he never ask for credit, but he also tried his best to push the credit out. Take this time as an example, the stellarator plan was clearly proposed by Luo Jia, but the whole company thought it was Luo Jia and Xie Xie. The result of the day's joint deliberation.

Looking around, Luo Jia said to Shen Lang: "Star Entertainment is the company's mouthpiece, a propaganda machine to guide public opinion. As the old saying goes, a tree is as good as a forest, and the wind will destroy it. Although the company has experienced many rumors since its establishment, but The rumors are getting worse every year lately, for the simple reason that we're scaring our opponents more and more."

"Cultural aspects still need to be strengthened. Robots are a good point of publicity. Shen Lang, in the future, you should ask Enron for advice and cooperate more closely with the hardware department."

Shen Lang nodded and looked at An Ran beside Luo Jia.

An Ran thought for a while, "According to the company's plan, robots will definitely be promoted in the future, but because we haven't settled the cost issue yet, the cost of Star Wings is 3.5 million units, which is really a bit expensive, and the defensiveness of other countries towards us is also very high. More seriously, the robot cooperation project is very difficult."

"How about this, I'll make some miniature toy robots for the promotion of the cultural department, or if you want to shoot a series, you can also use robots to intersperse the plot. In short, first create an atmosphere that the robot society is coming, maybe in this Under such a general environment, it will also help the negotiation work of the Ministry of Commerce."

Even within the administration, there are some people who don't understand why Luo Jia wants to popularize robots all over the world, let the West watch China enter the robot age, but do it helplessly, pissing them off, how enjoyable it is.

But since Luo Jia insisted on doing this, everyone could only guess that he had other deep intentions and obeyed Luo Jia's wishes. After all, everyone trusted Luo Jia from the bottom of their hearts and believed in any of his decisions.

Shen Lang and An Ran quickly finished discussing cooperation matters. Although the entertainment department Shen Lang was in charge of was very independent, even if An Ran was the vice president of the company, he could not directly issue orders to Shen Lang. From these situations, it is not difficult to see that, Luo Jia's care for his lover.

"Pay attention to checking your email. Today and tomorrow, I will assign you new learning tasks." Luo Jia said to Shen Lang.

The secret net is a good thing. Luo Jia helped Hei Jian navigate, not only got a complete set of information on controllable fusion, but also obtained the textbooks of the Energy Civilization Command Academy. Luo Jia read some of them by himself, and planned to select suitable content and hand them over to Shen Lang to study.

"Good teacher." Shen Lang nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Luo Jia turned his attention to the Wen family brothers. Wen Chengfeng was full-time in life sciences. He was introverted and didn't like to talk. Wen Chengling was more talkative than his younger brother. They are two silent ruthless people.

Wen Chengling frowned slightly, and said calmly: "There is still no progress on our side, and we will continue to increase our efforts in the future."

Hearing this, Luo Jia's heart skipped a beat. He was very clear about the hidden meaning behind the so-called increased efforts. Life science is different from other research, and it really needs to be filled with human life.

Fortunately, in the past two years, the semiconductor business department of Star Technology has matured, and the distributed supercomputing system is unrivaled in the world. Many experiments can be carried out in the supercomputing center. Animal experiments and human experiments are not as crazy as they used to be.

"After all, it is a department fighting alone." Luo Jia said with emotion in his heart: "Other departments can benefit from the inheritance of the Golden Dome to some extent. Only the Department of Life Sciences, supported by the Wen family brothers, can achieve what it is today. Even if they are a little cruel and have done a lot of human experiments, it is still necessary on the road of scientific research, and it must not be a woman's kindness."

"In addition, now that there is a secret network, Lan Yu, who can get in touch with plant civilization, should have some powerful black technology in his hands, but Lan Yu seems to be very house-like, and he doesn't usually go out, let alone I use the star map to help him. Pilot, it is definitely inappropriate to ask him for technology directly, it does not fit my high-end personality as a pilot, and I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to make some deals with Lan Yu and exchange some plant civilization technology.”

"In addition, Black Sword must continue to pay attention. Energy civilization must have other technologies that I need. Cao Yuan's ion propulsion research seems to be in trouble. I don't know what kind of propulsion technology is used by energy civilization? Well, I'm looking forward to it."

Luo Jia thought a lot in his heart. Since the opening of the secret net, his vision and channels have expanded a lot, and he finally understands the world beyond the earth. As time goes by, the secret net will definitely bring Luo Jia more Unexpected surprise.

"Let me add something." An Ran said to the Wen family brothers: "According to the gossip in North America, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has not been disbanded. Reinhardt led Cold Spring Harbor from above ground to underground, becoming a laboratory. A non-public secret laboratory."

"In addition, the founder of Cold Spring Harbor, Dr. James Watson, is rumored to have come out of the mountain again. The reason, if you think about it with your heels, must be directed at us. Reinhardt is a student of James. , who lost to us in the study of immune activation. Now that the teacher is out of the mountain, he wants to uphold justice for his apprentice and win a game for North America. Therefore, the Department of Life Sciences must make early preparations. I am a layman in this regard, so I will not give specific opinions. "

Hearing An Ran's words, the Wen brothers frowned slightly. James Watson is the father of genes, one of the earliest scientists engaged in DNA research, and a Nobel Prize winner.

But at the same time, James Watson is also a notorious lunatic in the West, the kind who talks endlessly. For example, he thinks that black people are monkeys that have not yet evolved and cannot be classified as humans. When he was in charge of the Cold Spring Harbor Experiment During the lab period, African Americans were not even allowed to enter the door of the laboratory, and even the sweeping aunts were not allowed to have black people.

The style of this Nobel Prize winner is completely the modern version of the remnants of the head of state. His reputation in the West is extremely bad. The angry Nobel Prize jury directly deprived him of the award, claiming that awarding this guy back then was the greatest shame in the history of the jury. .

"Compared to Bell Labs, Oak Ridge Laboratory, or even NASA, I still care more about Cold Spring Harbor, because the people in Cold Spring Harbor really don't follow the rules and dare to do anything." After thinking for a while, Luo Jia said in a deep voice : "In my opinion, the Life Science Department not only has an offensive plan, but also a defensive plan to prepare for various emergencies."

The Wen family brothers were startled for a moment. Immune activation is the most powerful virus defense mechanism in human history. It maximizes the potential of the human body and is stronger than any medicine. It seems that Luo Jia thinks it is not enough. He also needs to guard against cold spring harbor. Luo Jia's evaluation of Cold Spring Harbor was much higher than other opponents.

At the end of the meeting, Cao Yuan talked about the progress of ion propulsion. During this period, Cao Yuan was busy with the space elevator project. As the space elevator entered the first phase of construction, Cao Yuan will then shift the focus of work back to the propulsion laboratory.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Luo Jia announced the end of the meeting. He simply tidied up in the office, then returned to the meditation center, put on the virtual reality helmet, and logged in to the secret network.
