The Goddess Shines on America

It was a full month from the local premiere of "Alien 2" to receiving that call again.

Although it was already mid-February at this time, and there were only a dozen days left before the second half term of Eton College, but compared to the harvest of a few classes, Alice would of course give priority to this meeting, Even if it may bring countless jobs for itself.

America, Washington DC, in this cold season, Alice came to the Pentagon again.

"Miss Wang, this way please."

"Thank you, Mr. Rice."

It was still a bustling office corridor, and Alice followed the driver while looking around without a trace.

Obviously, the people who can work in the Pentagon are not simple people. Although I am a fifteen-year-old girl, and I don’t wear a formal lady’s suit but a denim gown, but all the people around me can keep their eyes on the ground, and they don’t care about themselves at all. Curious about the arrival.

Moments later, she was led to a door by Rice.

"Miss Wang, the Minister of Defense is in the office, please come in."

Alice paused when she was about to move forward.

Then, she nodded to the serious middle-aged man, opened the door and walked in.

At a conference table in the room, Caspar Weinberg, who was sitting at the head of the defense minister and wearing round glasses, saw Alice, nodded and smiled at her: "Hello, Alice, we meet again, please sit down." , please sit down."

While she was seated, Alice looked at the accompanying staff who were full of people. Good guy, the room was full of senior people. Looking around, there is a four-star general in army uniform, three generals in air force uniform, and a navy general also present.

Of course, while she was looking at these people, all the generals were naturally looking at the girl herself.

A fifteen-year-old Asian girl, although she looks extra beautiful, taller, and fuller, but from the outside, that's it. But it was obvious that, let alone a cheerleader or a prom queen on campus, even the Miss World Beauty Pageant, if that was all there was to it, how could there be any reason to be invited here?

"What a grand occasion, Secretary Weinberg."

Alice sat at the bottom of the conference table, facing Weinberg: "Is my movie so inspiring? It actually alarmed so many big figures in the military world?"

There was light laughter from the crowd, and an air force general spoke first: "It's not just a movie, Alice, today I can see you in person, and I'm your loyal reader of "Jurassic Park."

"Wow, really? I'm so honored then."

In this way, Alice exchanged a few pleasantries with several senior executives present. After a moment, one of the generals turned and said:

"Alice, you have been working as a technical consultant at Lockheed since last May, isn't that right?"

Seeing that the topic had shifted to military industry, Alice smiled and said without surprise: "That's right, but it's just a job for the time being. Oren-Lockheed hasn't asked me to take charge of any specific affairs yet."

I believe everyone here must have understood this answer, so as a quotation, the general continued: "So, the reason why you can conceive those novel things in the movie "Alien 2" is because Was it because you joined Lockheed, or was it because you had this ability that Oren-Lockheed appreciated you?"

"Lockheed recruited me because I was optimistic about my excellent programming ability, which has nothing to do with these ideas."

Alice replied: "After all, the complexity of the aircraft's navigation control system and various programming in satellite control is not as simple as writing a new operating system. With someone like me as an assistant, it will definitely reduce the complexity when necessary. A lot of work."

The answer is well-founded. A company like the world's top arms dealer will certainly not be fooled by a girl's science fiction-like new weapon idea, so giving a consultant title is even more nonsense. As for these bigwigs in the military, they must also understand this truth, so Alice knew that the topic would continue.

Minister Weinberg said it himself: "Actually, Alice, I investigated you very carefully before this meeting, you know?"

Nonsense, of course there will be an investigation.

Alice said with a fake smile: "My honor."

Weinberg nodded and continued: "From "Jurassic Park", we can see your ability to control cutting-edge technology, clone dinosaurs, then build a zoo, and then lead to a horror science fiction story because of out of control. The main plot begins. Creativity should never be underestimated, because in many cases, the development of human beings depends on the flashes of geniuses."

As he spoke, he picked up the documents on the desktop.

"Let's get down to business, let's see what you imagined in that Alien movie."

"It's Alien 2."

"Yeah, Alien 2."

Weinberg opened the document and said, "First of all, the one you conceived is called power armor, right? Although it looks a little rough in workmanship. Is this an idea from "Starship Paratroopers"?"

"Starship Troopers", which is the representative work of American science fiction master Robert Heinlein, was published as early as 1959, and won the world science fiction award "Hugo Award" in 1960. In this novel, the writer puts forward for the first time a concept that has been circulated in many science fiction works, including games—power armor.

Perhaps from a fundamental point of view, Marvel's Iron Man is the ancestor of power armor, but it is undeniable that it was Heinlein's "Starship Paratroopers" who really put forward this concept, and made this equipment standard It is installed on each soldier's body.

Of course, as for the movie "Starship Fleet" adapted from it, considering the insufficient cost, the producer can only let the soldiers wear ordinary military uniforms, but they still hold ordinary assault rifles to play with Zerg Charged.

""Starship Paratroopers" is influential, but it follows the biochemical flow, while mine is the mechanical flow."

As soon as he opened his mouth to say a concluding line, the four-star general of the army raised his eyebrows and said with a laugh: "Well said, haha, what a biochemical and mechanical flow. I said guys, which one of you is still Remember Heinlein's description of power armor? How did he say it?"

The admiral of the navy said with a smile: "Please, we don't have any time. But I think, Alice, you must have some opinions?"

"That set of power armor is divided into three categories."

Alice wouldn't believe that these words were not colluded by everyone in advance. Since they led the topic to power armor, she understood what these bigwigs were up to.

"One is the strength type, the other is the speed type, and the other is the command type. In fact, it is not appropriate to say that Heinlein is a biochemical flow. Its armor power mainly comes from mechanical control. For example, the strength is due to the active release of the hand sensor. Vector; the high jump is also because the hydraulic device on the legs is loaded with enough 'jumping fluid', and the command type is just loaded with a more advanced communication system, and there is an extra amount of jumping fluid."

Just defined the opponent's "product" one second, and rejected his own judgment the next second, the admiral asked enthusiastically: "Then what do you think the real biochemical flow should be like?" ?”

"Nano armor."

Once again easily throwing out a word that is enough to stun many people for a long time, Alice continued to pursue her style of non-surprising and endlessly talking, and said directly: "The size of the nanomaterial can ensure that the clothing has the lightest weight to achieve the greatest defense. For example, carbon fiber... In fact, although metal is hard enough, it is only because it is directly composed of atoms. But if we master nanotechnology, we can easily manufacture hard enough materials from ordinary elements."

I almost said carbon fiber and graphene, which made Alice wipe off the sweat subconsciously. God knows, that craftsmanship will not be realized until a long time later, and she is not involved in heavy industry now, and the industrial field can only start after saving enough capital.

If she slipped her tongue and the government subsidizes some existing heavy industry companies to research and develop, wouldn't she lose her share?

However, this set of words seems to be beside the point, Weinberg smiled bitterly: "I said Alice, the idea is indeed good, but you seem to be talking about... the manufacturing process of the mechanical flow?"

"Nanotechnology is just the foundation."

Alice said: "It represents the basic size of our industrial products. The so-called biochemical flow, whether it is to enhance human body quality or self-repair after armor damage, is it at the microscopic level of the nanometer level? Let's not talk about how specific it is." Enhance human body quality, or armor self-repair, if the basic technology is not up to standard, these must be nonsense."

So, please don't talk so much information, okay?

The armor that can repair itself after being damaged clearly talks about the problem of basic craftsmanship, but it throws out a new definition lightly!

Are there three sentences in total? ?

Seeing the quick exchange of glances among the high-ranking officials, Alice couldn't help it: "Then let me tell you, everyone, you are not looking for me this time just to draw inspiration from science fiction writers, are you? There are so many science fiction novels, how can I not get my turn?"

This is indeed the truth, so after exchanging glances with the audience, Weinberg smiled at Alice: "Of course it's different. Alice, those science fiction writers are just writers, but although you are only fifteen years old, It’s already an integral part of several large technology companies.”

"You wrote the software for creating computer special effects for "Alien 2". Such a sci-fi idea made by all-rounders, and many technologies are not too far away from reality. I think, if you do it yourself, realize them It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
