Liu Yuan's office can no longer be called an office, occupying a floor exclusively, and it seems more appropriate to call it an office.

But when Yang Pingfan entered, he felt that the space inside seemed to be smaller than it felt, and he saw Liu Yuan sitting in a corner, except for the stool under his buttocks, there were no other office supplies, because in front of him, it was a virtual console like an interstellar spaceship, under the faint blue light, the operation interface made of holographic projection was constantly refreshed in the air, Liu Yuan was wearing a helmet with a black metal texture, which seemed to be the legendary brain networking operation?

Seeing Yang Pingfan come in, Liu Yuan took off his helmet, waved his hand, and the projection operation page in the air was swept away, and the decoration in the hall was minimalist style, with solid color as the main tone, and the sound insulation effect was excellent.

"How's it going, my headquarters is pretty good, isn't it?"

"All the bells and whistles. Yang Pingfan's evaluation was sincere.

"Hahaha," Liu Yuan laughed heartily, "That's right, it's all the bells and whistles, and that's exactly what I'm going to show." There are many guests who come to visit the headquarters of Company X, including politicians, media reporters, self-media writers, and doctoral students from a certain university, who use a lot of words to describe the high technology of Company X, but I think they are not as real as the word bells and whistles.

You're right, it's true, human technology is a process of bells and whistles, these things are practical, but it's easy to be distracting, so I only set it up outside, and my own office, instead, uses minimalism to create a sense of meditation. ”

Yang Pingfan didn't expect Liu Yuan to complain to him as soon as they met, and shook his head slightly, "You came to me, wouldn't it just let me evaluate your headquarters?"

"Of course not, I'm looking for you for something very important—"

I didn't see how Liu Yuan operated, but I saw his stool slide briskly in front of Yang Pingfan, and a round ball also rolled over with him, unfolding into a back chair in front of Yang Pingfan, Liu Yuan made a gesture to sit down, "Do you want to drink something?"

Without waiting for Yang Pingfan to speak, he saw Liu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and the wall in the distance opened a hole, releasing two round silver metal balls, which rolled in front of the two of them, and began to deform like a transformer, popping out various mechanical tools, and turning into a drink robot in dozens of seconds.

Yang Pingfan was dumbfounded, the multi-functional robot had developed to this point, and thought for a while: "Tea." ”

When the robot heard this, a coffee table popped up in front of him and began to make tea, the hip-hop expression on Liu Yuan's face gradually disappeared and turned into a serious expression, "Ordinary, I came to you today, I do have something, to be precise, I have a request for you."

Yang Pingfan didn't speak, quietly waited for the following, there was a squirming in his clothes, Xiao Liu poked his head out of his pocket, looked around curiously, Liu Yuan smiled dumbly, "I didn't expect you to bring this monkey cub too." ”

As he spoke, the robot next to him handed over a milk candy, the monkey cub looked at Yang Pingfan, his father nodded, and he reached out to take it.

Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and nodded Xiao Liu's head, staring at Yang Pingfan, "Do you remember the night we met each other?"

Yang Pingfan showed a reminiscing expression, "Of course I remember, the first time I rode your electric supercar, I ran into a few rats, and there were several killers who were ready to assassinate you." ”

Liu Yuan nodded, "Yes, thanks to you, I saved my life." I said at the time, I hope you can come to Company X and protect me, and I came to you today, which is still the purpose. ”

Yang Pingfan shook his head, "Yes, Mr. Liu should also remember that I said at that time, I am from Galaxy Technology Company, Professor Li needs me there, and it is impossible for me to break the contract and jump over." ”

Liu Yuan chuckled, "I don't think it's the real reason, Li Lan and your father-in-law are the root cause, right? Don't be busy refusing first, listen to me talk about some things first." ”

At this time, the robot has boiled water to make tea, and the tea table, which was originally made of silver-white composite materials, has changed color into an antique flower branch color under the control of the built-in program, and there are small pottery pots made in Yixing and white porcelain glazed teacups on it.

The beverage robot ruler takes the tea and waits for the soup to make the tea and scrape the hot cup to sprinkle the tea, high and low pour, the soft strip is finely circumferred, and the first flush is washed to remove the foam. Guan Yu patrolled the city, and Han Xin ordered troops. The cans of dried tea are ripe, and there are no crumbs when you drink them, but there is also a shape, and the three white porcelain cups produced by Fengxi surround the finished glyphs, Liu Yuan made a gesture of please, held the teacup by himself, and took a sip.

A cloud of water vapor slowly rose, only to hear Liu Yuan say lightly: "Everything you see in Company X, holographic projection, intelligent robots, brain networking and even the super battery in the traversal capsule we use, it's not my conceit bragging, these can be said to be the representatives of the fourth industrial revolution, but all this is actually not difficult to achieve, as long as there is a sufficient source of power, everything is not a problem."

If you have studied history, you should know that the power source of the first industrial revolution was coal and steam power, and the power source of the second industrial revolution was oil and electricity, but the third industrial revolution was congenitally deficient in terms of energy power.

I know you might think of nuclear, wind or even solar, but it's clear that, with the exception of a few countries in Dongying and Gaul, nuclear power plants are still not widely used and do not account for a large proportion of the country's power sources, especially the Fukushima incident.

Therefore, until now, in the mid-21s of the 21st century, the global energy market is still the world of oil and coal, and whether it is steam or the most advanced nuclear fission, the final power medium is to convert heat energy into heat energy, and use water as the medium to generate electricity.

As for wind and solar energy, the limitations are even greater, this is a cruel reality, so far, all photovoltaic and wind power technologies, has not been revolutionized, the cost of power generation far exceeds that of thermal power, the production process is not environmentally friendly, must rely on a large number of official subsidies to survive.

In 1938, the Hans scientist Otto Hahn and his assistant Strassmann discovered the phenomenon of nuclear fission on the basis of the experiments of the Gallic scientist Marie Joliot-Curie, and by 1951, Citigroup was the first to build the world's first experimental nuclear power plant, which took less than 13 years, which was a very rapid process, but-

Nearly 80 years have passed since nuclear fusion, which is touted as the solution to the future energy crisis, and the artificial sun is still just an expensive toy in the laboratory. ”

Yang Pingfan held the teacup and nodded, Liu Yuan went around in such a big circle and said the core problem.

"It's an energy issue, what does it have to do with me protecting you?"

Xiao Liu saw that his father was so intoxicated with tea, and he also squeaked and wanted to drink, Yang Pingfan picked up another cup, and fed it to it after blowing it cold, Xiao Liu only drank a sip, and then spit it out, obviously appreciating the heavy taste of tea, Liu Yuan hurriedly commanded the robot to pour a cup of orange juice for it.

Dealing with this little episode, Liu Yuan continued, "I also told you before that in that assassination incident, the reason was that because I invented the super battery and shook the interests of certain groups, they wanted my life. And this time, we traveled through the 60s, caused by the butterfly effect, so that X company further took off in the high-tech field, this time and space, not only moved the interests of the energy group, but also moved the interests of more industries, more groups. ”

Yang Pingfan's expression became serious, "You mean?"

Liu Yuan nodded, "You are very smart, you should be able to guess it." I like to deal with smart people, that's right, the X company in this time and space is not just a battery company, but a comprehensive high-tech enterprise, brain networking, quantum applications, intelligent robots, each of which is the ultimate challenge to the current profiteering industry, there are more people who want me to die, and the wealth wolves who want to carve up the cake of X company are even more uncountable, so, I need you.

I'm sure you may also realize that the space in this office is smaller than it looks from the outside, and that's because the entire exterior wall is made of alloy material nearly a meter thick, and I live in fear of being assassinated every moment, which makes people feel hopeless. ”

Liu Yuan poured down the already cold tea in one gulp, and continued to stare at Yang Pingfan, Yang Pingfan's heart was shaken, and his face hesitated, "I can understand, but in terms of security, I am not a professional, not to mention anything else, Guo Xiong is definitely more suitable than me." ”

Liu Yuan shook his head, "I don't trust other people, only those who have experienced the life and death of history together are worthy of my trust." That's right, Guo Xiong is indeed more professional in this aspect, Wu Qifeng and them are even more loyal bodyguards who don't care about personal life and death, but what I want is not my personal safety, but the safety of the entire X company, Guo Xiong They are suitable to be senior bodyguards, and you are suitable to be the commander of the security department. ”

Yang Pingfan fell into a violent fluctuation of thoughts.

Liu Yuan's words are very skillful, he did not choose to tempt Yang Pingfan with benefits such as income like last time, he understands Yang Pingfan's character, he is upright, righteous and compassionate, and he can't impress him with money alone, so he uses another entry point, based on a sense of responsibility and honor, subtly tying himself to the future of mankind, arousing the righteous heart in Yang Pingfan's heart, seeing that Yang Pingfan's expression is loose, he adds another fire.

"I think you also know that the current population of the earth has exceeded 7 billion, and may be more, and it is still growing at a rate of 100 million every year, and the population of Ah San has even surpassed that of the Ming Kingdom, and in another ten years, the population of the earth will reach 90-10 billion people! This number is already equivalent to the earth's carrying capacity predicted by scholars.
