The end of technology.

"Yes, it's a very nice place, but it's a pity that this ship is not our masterpiece. Do you feel sorry for it? Neeson?"

The old man replied indifferently, and when the words fell, he withdrew his gaze from looking down, and glanced at the man beside him.Clearly he had hoped to see a look of shame on Neeson Mountbatten's face, but he was disappointed.

Neeson Mountbatten looked at him with clear eyes, without shame or regret.

"No, no, Mr. Dupont, I don't agree with your words, because your thinking is too narrow. If you look at it from the perspective of all mankind, this ship is a great masterpiece of human civilization, and it will open a new era. New Era."

The old man quietly glanced at Neeson Mountbatten, then lowered his head again.

This is one of the eight observation decks specially recommended by the staff just now, and each observation deck has a limited number of people, and there are only twelve seats in the back row. He doesn't quite understand why Neeson Mountbatten specially followed him. It's obviously not a pleasant thing to say.

This shouldn't be a provocation, and the old man doesn't want it to be a provocation.

Fortunately, Neeson Mountbatten did not expect the old man to give him a good face, nor did he expect him to recognize his point of view, but he just said to himself: "Believe it or not, Mr. Du Pontler, I have not challenged you now or in the future. The meaning of authority, let alone wanting to continue to spend my life in this place where I can see with my head down.

Now I like to look up at the sky full of stars every clear night, because I believe that there will be a place for me in the near future.Of course, my words do not mean to go to see God, but a real conquest.Think about it, even in our solar system there are hundreds of thousands of ore stars waiting for us to dig.

At this time, here, almost all the preparations have been made here, the spaceship that can swim the solar system, the robot that can work hard and adapt to all kinds of harsh environments, maybe the buildings under our feet and the laboratories under the buildings have already passed. Start researching various technologies for planetary exploration and collection.In fact, the courses taught by the Space Academy are not classified information.

So let go of all your reservations and dissatisfaction, and cooperate sincerely, Mr. Du Pontler, of course, not just to cooperate with me, but to cooperate with our future.Space mining tycoon?Space Conqueror?Do you have a better title? "

This time the old man completely withdrew his eyes, and the eyes he looked at Neeson Mountbatten began to become deep.The man in front of him should change his surname to Neeson Doug.

"Neson, you got some promises, right?"

"Haha, Mr. Dupont, there is no need for any commitment. I just see it more clearly than many people. Don't you understand his pursuit? Of course, you don't need to rush to make a decision, we can wait until this lift-off ceremony After that, I really look forward to seeing the earth from this perspective, it will be a pleasing thing, don’t you think?”

Chapter 240 Initial Goal

The old man didn't say anything about Neeson Mountbatten's words, and the old man's reaction was obviously within Neeson Mountbatten's expectation.In fact, he also understood in his heart the old man's disdainful attitude towards him. If he stood in his own position, there was really no need to talk so much with the old man in front of him.

Fortunately, Neeson Mountbatten was very clear that he was not communicating with the old man from his own standpoint, so after expressing all his thoughts, he politely bid farewell to the old man and left.Aside from those emotional and exaggerated expressions, Neeson Mountbatten actually knows how to read words and expressions and how to make others happy, which also includes disappearing from the eyes of others.

In fact, as the old man told Tim Cook, the two really hate each other.It was also a relief for him to finish the chat and leave early.Of course, what emotions his words would bring to the respectable old man was not his concern.

But everyone is a smart person, and Neeson Mountbatten felt that after today's ceremony, he would not be surprised by any decision made by Mr. Du Bangle, let alone care.

Everyone has to face a choice and bear the consequences.

In fact, Neeson Mountbatten hoped that Mr. Du Pontler would show the long-lost chivalry, categorically refuse to cooperate with competitors, and defend the glory with his life.Although the chances of this are small.When they know that they may live another 80 to [-] years in a healthy way, these people's calm appearance can't hide their crazy hearts.

Not to mention that life is always a serious topic.It is actually not a good thing for a family to have nearly double the life of an individual.Especially for a wealthy family like Dubangle, this means that the family relationship has deteriorated more seriously.

Even those young descendants who are eager to get on the top will secretly hope that those old things will die quickly.Of course these old people know this in their hearts, but the more they know, the less they will take the initiative to delegate power, and they will even be more arbitrary and careful to guard against betrayal from within the family.

Power is as intoxicating as wealth, and you cannot let go of it after experiencing it.This is the distress of the emperor's family.

In the former imperial society, killing a few sons for fun is nothing new.

So for these people, they have to give their sons and grandsons some hope, so they need to ask for more.

Compared with these people, Neeson Mountbatten is undoubtedly lucky.

Because he is still alone.Three years ago, Neeson Mountbatten was an infertility advocate. His ideal was to earn [-] million yuan, and then use up the money before he died, as long as he lived a happy life.

But now Neeson Mountbatten sees the hope of earning tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions. This is wealth that he can't spend all his life enjoying, so he needs a child, the starting point for him to become a big family.He wants his name to be mentioned even after hundreds or thousands of years.

Of course, to achieve these goals, he needs to work harder and be more devout, after all he is a servant of God.

Whether you like to admit it or not, for a certain class of people, the lower the lower limit, the higher the achievement.

……

Nine fifty.

After Ning Zi led the old man around the command tower, he walked into the lecture hall on the third floor of the command tower. No, strictly speaking, it was more like a classroom. Instead of a blackboard there is a large display device.There is a circle of cameras on the top of the podium, and it can be seen that there are embedded cameras on the display device.

Below is a row of chairs, about 32 positions are designed, but there are no desks.At this time, the seat was almost full, leaving only one seat in the middle of the first row.When Ning Zi walked into the room with the old man and the entourage behind the old man, everyone stood up.Then spontaneously started clapping.

"These are the engineers who have worked hard for our Wu Gang and the people in charge of supporting key systems." Ning Zi introduced.

The old man smiled and nodded, raised his hand and made a slight downward gesture, stopping the applause.

There was not enough time for on-site introductions one by one, so the old man simply said a few words of encouragement and praise, and the process was considered complete.

Not to mention that most of the people who can be invited to sit here are acquaintances. Even if there are a few technicians who are not familiar with it, there will be a large-scale commendation meeting to celebrate after the successful launch of the Wu Gang today. Don't worry about this time to introduce.

After the old man finished speaking, Ning Zi began to introduce the facilities here.

"This is where the launch ceremony of the Wu Gang will be held. The podium is a holographic device. Standing in the center and speaking, the surrounding cameras will automatically record the picture and complete it through an algorithm. Then, 6688 holographic devices will be displayed on the Wu Gang. Click to broadcast synchronously to ensure that everyone on board can see it, and the delay is only about 1.2 seconds."

"It seems that this holographic technology has not been released to the public yet?"

"Well, we are still trying to find a way to do some subtraction, otherwise it would be too cumbersome to arrange, and the cost-effectiveness is not high. A set of holographic image collection requires the cooperation of more than 100 cameras to achieve the current effect. If it is reduced to one in daily life With two cameras, it takes too long for the algorithm to automatically supplement the content of the holographic information, and the generated files are redundant, which will cause frequent playback freezes."

"Technology is always advancing slowly. In this way, write it down for me and purchase 34 sets of this kind of holographic equipment from the base when you go back." After speaking, the old man looked at Ning Zi and smiled: "This is to support you to improve the holographic technology as soon as possible. , this technology should be very promising.”

"Thank you."

Of course, 34 sets of holographic equipment are not worth much. Compared with the consumption of research and development at the base, this amount of money is really not worth mentioning.But this represents an attitude, especially the number 34 sets, which is full of deep meaning.

After a brief chat, it was already 55:[-] in the morning.

The green light on the podium is on, which means that the holographic video equipment has been activated, and it can start working immediately as long as people stand over it.

Ning Zi pointed to the center of the podium and asked, "Can you say a few words first?"

"Haha, you didn't receive the receipt from the office regarding today's ceremony arrangement?" the old man asked back with a smile.

Ning Zi nodded and replied, "Actually, I received it."

The old man said: "Well, after receiving your arrangements for today's grand ceremony that day, Secretary Tan asked me if I wanted to prepare a speech, but I refused. Only the comrades in the secretariat prepared one The speech at the commendation conference after the grand ceremony. Do you know why?"

"Forehead……"

"Haha, there is nothing embarrassing to say, because this is your stage today. You have always been disgusted by the addition of some administrative measures to the management sequence of this base. At first, many people, including me, had doubts about this. But it turns out that you did a good job. Even better than we expected. It surprised many people.

In particular, the management system you implemented internally is simple and efficient. It seems that the initial investment is huge, but it really achieves the maximum benefit with the minimum cost.Very good, really good.I believe that many scientific research units will come to learn your management mode soon.

So today this stage belongs to you, and I look forward to your performance.In addition, let me tell you in advance that relevant departments are discussing that today's day will become a special new holiday in the future.To commemorate this day, but also to commemorate your dedication.So now what you're going to do is wrap up on their behalf, go ahead. "

After finishing speaking, the old man raised his hand and patted Ning Zi's shoulder, and then sat down in the reserved seat with a smile on his face.

The timing was just right.

At ten o'clock sharp, Ning Yu stood at the center of the podium. At the same time, 6688 holographic display positions on the Wu Gang lighted up at the same time, and the white light beams filled everything. The colors first outline Ning Zi's head, then the torso, and then the legs, and finally the lifelike holographic structure appears in front of everyone.

The launch ceremony of the Wu Gang officially began.

When the image of Ning Zi in the holographic video appeared, the first sentence was heard by everyone through countless speakers on the spaceship.

"Initially, our goal was just to survive..."

……

From boarding the spaceship, or after communicating with Neeson Mountbatten, Olge Harvey Dupontler sat quietly on the viewing platform for the rest of the time, without moving, except for going to the bathroom in the middle.

He was not interested in the rides on the ship, but liked the viewing platform at the bottom of the spaceship.Probably because people prefer to climb high and look far when they are old, especially this perspective is really perfect.It makes people sink in without paying attention.

The old man believed that there must be a better place on the boat, but unfortunately it did not belong to him.

He was also thinking about Neeson Mountbatten's suggestion. It is indeed a wonderful idea to have a spaceship that belongs to the family.

The only problem is that there is no such thing as giving for nothing in this world.

If you want to get it, you have to pay more first, not to mention that this is no longer a matter of money.In other words, after the spaceship took off today and their group completed the first wave of transactions, the secular currency no longer has transaction value between the two parties.

No one can use currency to value a planet, because there is a huge cognitive bias in the entire financial anchor value system.At present, there is no free market on the earth that can measure the value of a planet, let alone the value of life.

So if you want to have exploration and get a resource star, you probably need to stand in line like Neeson Mountbatten.This is a gamble. Although it seems that the possibility of winning is very high, the problem is that winning or losing depends on the dealer's thoughts.

It's as if whether a dog becomes a long-term companion of human beings or a meat in a pot is also in the mind of human beings.

The difference probably lies in the value of this living dog.

This is a difficult choice, because kneeling requires kneeling thoroughly.

Suddenly, the old man suddenly began to envy Neeson Mountbatten.

Because he is really willing to let go.

At least when it comes to being a dog, this former cockroach is very open.

No, this guy was originally a hateful cockroach, but now he has become a dog. It should be said that he has completed his identity nirvana, so he can not only adapt, but even enjoy it.

But he is human, and he is an extremely noble group, so he is not used to being a dog all of a sudden.

Of course, if there is enough temptation...

Thinking of the lifespan of more than 70 years and the brilliant starry sky still makes this noble old man tangled...

Until the spaceship began to change, he could feel that the viewing platform began to rise slowly, and then the place below where he could enjoy the scenery outside the window without dead ends began to gradually close, until the picture under his feet began to close.

It looks like the ceremony is about to begin.

As soon as this idea came to his mind, he saw a ring of shining green light appear in the middle of the viewing platform.

The old man moved his buttocks, changed his sitting position, and then checked the time, um, it was almost ten o'clock.

He still remembered that before boarding the ship, the staff member said that before the launch ceremony of the Wu Gang, Ning Zi would give a speech, and the speech would be shown to the guests through 6688 holographic points.Heh... holographic display technology...

During this period of time, the old man was very dissatisfied with these damn technological developments, and even turned into resentment.

Of course, this kind of resentment and resentment is mainly because the birthplace of these technologies is here, not there, or another country.

When people get old, their reactions tend to be slower. After staring at the circle of flashing green light for a few minutes, Olge Harvey DuPontle suddenly squinted his eyes when the dazzling white light rose, and then he stared openly. Seeing Ning Zi's figure appear in front of him...

"fuck..."

Facts have proved that no matter how educated people are, they can express their inner displeasure and anger in the most concise language in their minds, but they can't say it out.

Yes, when Ning Zi's whole body image appeared, only this word flashed in the old man's mind.

This image is so realistic...

A complete display of the details of the whole body.You can even see a slight crease on the clothes.

The old man suddenly felt heartache for Tim Cook, and he believed that the company in which he also had a stake was about to bleed again in the near future.

God is probably really not blessing them anymore, otherwise how to explain all these amazing technologies appearing here?

The swear words in his mind were still circling, and Ning Zi's voice penetrated into his ears.

"Initially, our goal was just to survive..."

Ah……

It's a very different opening...

The guy didn't even thank them guests for taking the time out of their busy schedules to attend the ceremony in the first sentence.

He didn't even want to add a title, even if it was a courtesy to say "Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone."

But it was probably for this reason that Olge Harvey Dupont sat upright. He wanted to listen carefully to what this world-recognized genius would say today, because it might affect his decision... a It will affect the future decisions of countless people.

Chapter 241 Silhouette

No one informed that the grand ceremony had begun, but when Ning Zi's figure appeared holographically at almost every gathering point of the entire spaceship, everyone knew that today's ceremony had officially begun.

The spaceship, which was so noisy just now, became quiet in an instant, and everyone stopped their movements, even the robots stopped running.All cast their gazes to where the holographic projection is located.Even the robots stopped working.

The world seemed to be stopped at this moment, until Ning Zi's voice began to echo on the boat, throughout the country and even the whole world.

"In the beginning, our goal was to survive. Perhaps to many people who were invited to participate in this grand ceremony today, this sentence is very hypocritical, but if you have a little understanding of China's century-old history, you will be able to appreciate the heaviness of it. I know that this is not a pleasant opening statement, and even seems a little heavy, but it is an unavoidable topic.

There is no doubt that a life in which survival becomes the first goal is tragic, just like a picture piled up with only black and white tones.And this kind of life has almost run through the entire life of three generations of Huaxia.This is a long and tragic story, but it is in line with today's story.

Because many of the guests invited today have taken away the color that should belong to them and made their already brilliant life even more colorful.I don't know and don't want to care about what other people think, but I don't think it's right and shouldn't be.

On this festive day, I have no intention of exaggerating grief and indignation, let alone remembering bitterness and sweetness, those are the tasks of liberal arts students.As we all know, I am an excellent science student, so my way of thinking is also biased towards the most direct logical thinking mode of science. To put it more simply, I am better at the simple and straightforward calculation mode of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

So I can easily calculate how much debt I owe, how many years have passed, and the total amount of principal and interest.Although this is not the original intention of Wu Gang, it is the result I hope to get.This is also the original intention of the itinerary for today's lift-off ceremony.I believe that all invited guests should read the specific itinerary of the ceremony.

After Wu Gang lifts off, it will circle the earth for a week along the equator of the earth, and then return to our base.But in fact, this circle does not completely follow the equator of the earth. We will often deviate from the orbit, so that everyone can enjoy the scenery of looking at their hometown from space.

This process is not only to hope that everyone can appreciate the beauty of the earth from space, but also to awaken the awareness of some guests on the scene today about this era, self-awareness, debt awareness, and self-responsibility. I know, and I also firmly believe that during this test voyage, the stunning beauty will give you a clearer understanding of this series of issues. "

……

The advantage of holographic video is probably that it can more clearly restore the expression of the speaker.Especially the glance when raising the eyes can often give people an illusion that the speaker is really standing beside everyone and talking.

At least for Olga Harvey DuPontle this feeling was particularly strong.

He even regretted sitting in the best position in the first row of the viewing platform, because it was too close to the holographic image opposite, so close that every time Ning Zi raised his eyes to scan, he seemed to be staring at him specifically.
