Chapter 425: A Rising Civilization (1)
Time flies, two years have passed in a blink of an eye,
10% of the wealth of all mankind leverages global resources, manpower, and material resources to invest in the 'Xingyao' project, photonic computers, flying cars, intelligent robots, and biological 3D printers,...... The application scale of various high-tech products continues to expand, and human society has ushered in a golden period of rapid development in history.
Correspondingly, the Star Wealth Group, which controls more than one-tenth of the world's wealth, has an unrivaled international status for a while.
In the Bauhinia Rose Garden, a lively birthday banquet is being held, and the hall is filled with joyful laughter.
Little Zhou Yu, who is five or six years old, wears a neat little suit, a square face, curved eyebrows, and a smooth and fair face that is somewhat similar to his father Zhou Xing.
To the left of Zhou Yu stood a small robot that was a head shorter than him - Zhou Xiaozhi.
On the right is a little girl in a pink princess dress, about eight or nine years old, slim and elegant, with a neat ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead, a fair melon seed face, bright eyes and bright teeth, lips without dotting, and delicate willow eyebrows, constituting a small face full of confidence.
"Zhou Yu, why hasn't your father come yet? won't come out!" The girl looked at the door and asked Zhou Yu with an anxious face.
"My dad's birthday, why didn't he come? Sister Dandan, the time hasn't come yet! He usually appears in the finale. Zhou Yu said with great admiration.
"What do you call me? You should call me aunt. Zhou Danxing's eyes widened and scolded Zhou Yudao.
Zhou Yu's face wrinkled, and he said unwillingly: "You are a few years older than me, will your aunt call you old!"
"Hmph, don't mess with the seniority, I'm your dad's cousin, you know!" Zhou Dan said triumphantly with a small face.
"Oh!" Zhou Yu's little face darkened, and he responded aggrievedly with a long tail note.
Zhou Wenhua walked towards Zhou Yu and them with a smile on his face: "What are you talking about!"
"Uncle, why didn't you give birth to my aunt earlier! She is about the same age as me, don't pinch me when I scream!" Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Zhou Wenhua and complained with a sad face.
"Hmph!" Zhou Dan snorted proudly, proudly like a little swan.
Zhou Wenhua's face stiffened, how did he answer this question?
Zhou Wenhua avoided answering, and changed the topic with a smile: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Zhi has been teaching you that knowledge recently!
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's face was bitter, he turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaozhi, and said complainingly: "Ash has become bad recently, and every time I play 'Star Wars deduction' with it, I have to 'bet', which makes me have to memorize a lot of information." ”
"Oh, what information do you carry?" Zhou Wenhua then looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked curiously.
"Uncle, it's the parameters and performance of the 'Star Shine', as well as some astronomical knowledge of astronomical stars, moons, variable stars, binary stars, and near-Earth galaxies. Zhou Xiaozhi replied for Zhou Yu.
Zhou Wenhua laughed and asked Zhou Yu: "That's it! Xiaoyu, do you often lose!"
Zhou Yu's little face was raised, and he said proudly: "No, I have won more than I have lost." ”
"Hehe, is it so powerful?" Zhou Dan smiled and questioned.
Zhou Yuxiao's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Don't believe it, we will compete in a game, and I will call you aunt after losing." ”
"It's better than that, even if you win, I'll be your aunt, haha!" Zhou Dan laughed proudly.
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and glanced at Zhou Dan, and instructed Zhou Xiaozhi: "Xiaozhi, activate the interstellar simulated battlefield, we have to fight." ”
Zhou Xiaozhi nodded happily: "Okay!"
Under the auspices of Zhou Xiaozhi, a holographic screen rose between Zhou Yu and Zhou Dan.
Seeing this, Zhou Wenhai and his wife, Tang Xin, Yang Minghua, Lin Wei, and others in the hall stopped chatting and gathered around them with a smile.
The holographic screen shows a starry sky, planets, meteorites everywhere, a dark starry sky, and two warships, one black and one red.
The mothership of the Red Fleet looks like a rambutan magnified hundreds of millions of times, covered with sharp thorn-like tubes, and the appearance is very terrifying.
"Why is my spaceship so ugly, yours so beautiful, no, let's change. Zhou Dan stared at the holographic screen and said dissatisfied.
"Appearance doesn't matter! yours is a Red Devil Mothership, with a defensive shield of annihilation energy, very powerful!" Zhou Yu explained.
"I don't care, let's change!" Zhou Dan glared at Zhou Yu and said in a firm tone.
Zhou Yu nodded helplessly, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and commanded in a compromise: "Xiaozhi, you can help us change camps!"
Zhou Xiaozhi glanced at Zhou Dan and nodded happily, and the two sides immediately changed their camps.
"How about it, you can start now!" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Dan and urged impatiently.
"Hmph, come on, I'll beat you. Zhou Dan smiled, his fingers were false, and he commanded the fleet to attack blatantly.
Zhou Yu's sly eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and with a wave of his small hand, he commanded the Red Fleet to advance.
In the holographic screen, the red and black sides quickly approached.
In a wonderful scene, Black opened fire and a dense beam of energy poured down towards Red.
Zhou Yu's small hand kept waving, and at the same time, his small mouth moved frequently, and he kept giving orders: "Activate the maximum speed, the energy shield is activated, and the main artillery attack is ready,......。 ”
The red fleet is like a 'red cloud', nimbly galloping towards the black fleet, and the 'red mist' gushing out of the tube envelops the entire fleet, neutralizing the attacks of particle beams.
Under the command of Zhou Yu, the 'Red Cloud' fleet was as nimble as a loach, going up and down, left and right, constantly dodging the 'airtight' energy beam in front.
"What is Xiao Yu doing, why is he only beaten and doesn't fight back!" Ye Huilan stared at the holographic screen and asked puzzledly.
Zhou Wenhai laughed and replied: "Haha, look at how much Xiao Dan's attack failed, Xiao Yu is holding back!"
"What?" Ye Huilan's eyes widened, her face full of puzzlement.
As Zhou Wenhai said, the distance between the two fangs continued to approach, the red fleet quickly broke into its right side, and the black fleet attacked Zhenghuan, but it was too late to change formation, and the red fleet room 'ten thousand arrows were fired', which caught Black off guard.
The energy tide was one after another, the impact was shocking, and the explosion points of the entire star field flashed one after another, densely packed, like a grand fireworks feast, magnificent.
In the blink of an eye, a rain of light passed and another rain of light returned, and in the rain of light, the fleet of the Black House camp was either directly annihilated, or survived by luck, and the half-crippled body was annihilated in the next rain of light.
The fierce and sharp fighting style does not give the other party a chance at all, and the opponent is wiped out in a few back and forth.
"What's the matter, don't admit defeat!" Zhou Yu looked relieved and looked at Zhou Dan with a smile on his face.
"I didn't react just now, let's do it again. Zhou Dan rolled his eyes at Zhou Yu and said angrily.
Zhou Yu pouted, and said nonchalantly: "It's the same a few more times, you even shoot at the distance and change the formation,...... , I don't understand the basics of these battles, and no matter how many times I fight, I will lose. ”
"You know it when you're younger than I am! I don't believe it, come again, come again,......。 Zhou Dan asked unconvinced.
Zhou Yu smiled, and just wanted to reply to her words, Tang Xin stopped him loudly: "Okay! Okay! Stop playing, your father is coming, Xiaoyu go and take out your gift." ”
"Okay!" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he turned around and ran towards his room.
Soon, when Zhou Yu walked out of the room with the gift, Zhou Xing's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Dad, this is my birthday gift to you, I wish you a happy birthday!" Zhou Yu rushed to Zhou Xing and handed Zhou Xing a painting as if he was invited to merit.
"Well, what is it?" Zhou Xing bent over and picked up Zhou Yu and asked with a smile.
"It's the Star Yao!Dad, when will I be able to ride the spaceship you built!" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing with small eyes and asked eagerly.
"Come on, when Xiao Yu grows a little taller, the Xingyao will be built!" Zhou Xing said with a smile compared the distance between his index finger and thumb by a few centimeters.
"Really! Then I'll eat more and grow taller early. Zhou Yu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
"Okay! When the time comes, you'll be the commander. Zhou Xing promised with a smile.
"Cousin, cousin, I want it too, I want to be a female commander. Zhou Dan ran to Zhou Xing and said excitedly.
"Haha, okay, I'll build one for you too. For this little cousin, Zhou Xing liked it tightly, looked at her dotingly, laughed, and responded in one bite.
"Thank you, cousin. Zhou Dan looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes, his eyes were full of admiration.
Zhou Xing's name is known to women and children, and there are few opportunities to see him, so seize this opportunity, Xiao Zhou Dan's eyes can't be removed from Zhou Xing's eyes.
Zhou Xing smiled, put Zhou Yu on the ground, and beckoned: "Xiao Dan, you are an aunt!
For Zhou Xingdi's entrustment, Zhou Dan's eyes lit up, and he nodded obediently: "Understood!"
"Zhou Yu, let's go out!" Zhou Dan picked up Zhou Yu's hand and beckoned.
Zhou Yu held Zhou Xing's leg with one hand, broke free of Zhou Dan's hand, and flatly refused: "Don't, I want to follow Dad!"
"Xiao Yu, don't be ignorant, adults are going to talk about things, do you want to be a commander!" Zhou Dan crossed his hands on his waist and reprimanded him like a little adult.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's face furrowed, and he quickly made a choice between 'commander' and 'father', took Zhou Dan's hand, looked back at Zhou Xing step by step, and reluctantly walked out of the hall.
Looking at Zhou Yu's other appearance, Zhou Xing frowned, as if he felt that this scene would happen in the future, and his heart suddenly became flustered.
Seeing Zhou Dan and Zhou Yu leave the hall, everyone restrained their smiles, and Zhou Wenhai and his wife warmly beckoned everyone to take their seats.
Seeing Zhou Xing staring at the door in a daze, Tang Xin walked to his side and woke up puzzled: "Xing, what's wrong with you?"
"Wife, will your son feel distressed when he leaves us alone in the future?" Zhou Xing asked Tang Xin.
Hearing this, Tang Xin glanced at Zhou Xing, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Xiaoyu is my 'heart baby', and I will be uncomfortable if I don't see him for a day." ”
"But when he grows up, his ambition is to be a starship commander! Zhou Xing said with a sad face.
'Starship Commander', just like the captain of the Age of Discovery, this is a very risky profession when technology is not yet mature, Tang Xin's face changed, and the whole person became worried.
Tang Xin looked at Zhou Xing anxiously: "Xing, it's time to change Xiaoyu's ambition now!"
"Give it a try!" Zhou Xing sighed.
The ambition of childhood must be established, and you must not think about yourself like this, being a great scientist, inexplicably possessed by the great scientist auxiliary system, and making your life tired to death.
In front of the coffee table, Yang Minghua, Lin Wei, Xie Liwu and others, under the greeting of Zhou Wenhai and his wife, sat on the thick sofa, made tea and chatted.
"Uncle Zhou, your physical condition has returned to its peak state!, you can 'go out of the mountain'!" Chen Feng looked at Zhou Wenhai and proposed with a smile.
"Yes, brother, now that your gray hair is gone, your belly has gone down, and you have regained your forty-year-old appearance, you can't continue to be 'idle'!" Zhou Wenhua looked at Zhou Wenhai and persuaded dissatisfiedly.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhai's face changed, and he flatly refused: "No, I'm used to taking Xiaoyu at home, and I don't want to go back to my old days." ”
Zhou Xing walked over to everyone, looked at Zhou Wenhai, and said: "Dad, in fact, the situation is not so complicated, the group is now dominant, and there is 'Xiaozhi' to assist in management, you only need to come forward to supervise the implementation." ”
Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Wenhai and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Wen, with 'Xiaozhi' to assist in management, the company's affairs have become very 'simple'." ”
"Since it's 'simple', you can just take care of it yourself!" Zhou Wenhai frowned and reluctantly refused.
With the financial resources of Xingyao Group today, the projects involved contain incomparably huge interests, and once they intervene, they will inevitably be contaminated with the interests of 'deception' and 'bloody rain'. Over the years, Zhou Wenhai has become accustomed to a leisurely retirement life with his grandson, and he really doesn't want to go back to his old life.
"Dad, the company is going to carry out other projects next, and I'm afraid there will be a shortage of management manpower, so I have to work you out of the mountain!" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Wenhai and persuaded.
Chen Fan stood up on the sofa and asked excitedly, "Mr. Zhou, have you made something new again?"
"Mr. Zhou, are you going to develop a research conference?" Yang Minghua asked excitedly, trembling slightly.
"Is the time coming?" Zhou Wenhua's hand holding the teacup about to drink tea trembled, and he looked up at Zhou Xing in surprise.
Zhou Wenhai and his wife looked at each other, looking at Zhou Xing's gaze, happy and worried, with complicated expressions.
Zhou Xing smiled and nodded: "Almost, not only is the controlled nuclear fusion technology, but I also plan to announce two major decisions, as well as another scientific and technological achievement." ”
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, their eyes were slightly bulging, and they looked at Zhou Xing in amazement.
Chen Fan rubbed his hands excitedly and asked excitedly: "So many! Mr. Zhou, when do you plan to hold this press conference?"
"Mr. Zhou, have you communicated with Xu Lao?" Yang Minghua said excitedly and worriedly.
Zhou Xing glanced at Yang Minghua and said lightly: "Time has been given to them, ten days later, it will be a press conference held by Xingyao Group, you can arrange it!"
When Zhou Xing said this, he was domineering, and when he heard the words, everyone was in unison, and they didn't dare to disobey their orders.
