The groundbreaking ceremony for the "Sky Ladder" project took place on the iconic building of Putly Island, the central cylindrical structure known to the islanders as the "Big Chassis". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the future, the ladder that can go directly to space is in the open space next to this "big chassis". All the machines were ready, and when Wang Shizi ascended the specially built rostrum, a scaled down virtual display of a three-dimensional three-dimensional ladder model suddenly appeared next to the rostrum.

Judging from this virtual reality model, the ladder that runs through space in the future is still very different from the elevator that everyone usually uses. The underground part has nine floors, each corresponding to an elevator car, and the same is true for the opposite side, which means that the first ladder has a full eighteen elevator cars.

Therefore, its installation method is also different from the elevator used in daily use, and a transparent cylindrical space is reserved in the middle of each elevator car, and a cable passes through the middle of this column, stringing nine elevator cars in a row at the same time.

This design requires a high load on the cable. After all, the volume of these elevator cars is slightly larger, at least ten times larger than ordinary large freight elevators. There is also a perimeter fence made of transparent special glass, and when you ride this ladder, you can also look down on the ground from above.

The outdoor lobby on the lowest floor, where you can ride the elevator, also looks very large, similar to the shape of an international airport that you see in everyday life. It is conceivable that when the ladder is officially put into use, the busyness of the island will increase exponentially.

In the warm applause, Wang Shizi and Tang Sen were on the stage, and together with the person in charge of the ladder project, Li Chengze, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, cut the red silk in front of him at the same time, and the groundbreaking ceremony was completed. Countless engineering robots that had been on standby for a long time immediately took action and began to be busy on the planned ground that had already completed the foundation construction.

On the other side, the molecular stacking printer dedicated to the manufacture of cables was also activated instantly, and strands of cables compressed from the molecular level began to form in the black box, and then the robot began to wind around a specific position according to a specific program.

Although today's groundbreaking ceremony did not invite any big names to cheer, and the ribbon-cutting people were acquaintances who everyone had heard of, the significance of such a big project was very clear to everyone.

The island was full of joy. Not only because of the official start of this great project of Genesis, but also because to celebrate the start of construction, the island will host the biggest party since its development. Everyone can take a day off, and of course the rest is voluntary. It's as if the old Swedish man is now so engrossed in his project that he didn't even attend the groundbreaking ceremony. But for most people, it's definitely a pleasure.

After all, there has never been a time on the island when all the people are on vacation at the same time like today. Because this is a scientific research base, for these technical people, there has never been a fixed concept of weekends, generally speaking, it depends on the research and development progress of the project and the specific situation, if the laboratory can not work for various reasons, everyone will rest for a few days, and when rushing for progress, it is common to pounce on research and development like a war every day. And when the project is completed, you can give yourself a big vacation.

Therefore, it is rare for a group of people on the island to come across this kind of time to rest at the same time, so it is never lively enough. Not to mention a grand banquet like today's. Although virtual food can satisfy everyone's sensory pursuit of food, but occasionally taste some food in reality, enjoy your favorite wine, and chat with like-minded colleagues, isn't it?

It is said that now in China, the top reality of food, wine has become a luxury, exclusively for the rich to choose at banquets, this may also be a change in business strategy, when ordinary people do not need these ingredients in their lives, enjoy the food completely in the virtual world, those once legendary top chefs must also change the mode of thinking to make a living.

Some of them have become scientists, specializing in the study of new dishes, after all, if a new dish can really become popular, it can make a lot of money just by selling various taste data.

The other part of the chefs who have no talent for R&D have begun to serve some old-fashioned rich people or those who need real food services.

It just so happens that some scientists on the island can't quit their penchant for real-life food, so there are also two top chefs on the island who are specially hired.

However, the carnival party on the island has always been Tang Sen's favorite, and Wang Shizi likes to be quiet, so he has never been grateful for it. In particular, there are many female R&D personnel from Western countries on the island, and they are quite autonomous, and Putri Island still belongs to the enthusiastic country of Spain after all, so these usually introverted R&D personnel at the party often show their enthusiastic and unrestrained side.

For example, Wang Shizi was drunk more than once, and the beautiful employees he didn't know at all were boldly flirting, and it was conceivable how embarrassing it would be to flirt with a domineering president who didn't understand the amorous feelings.

The key is that Wang Shizi is not the kind of man who will be very cramped after being molested, his reaction is generally very calm and looks at the beautiful woman performing in front of him with a wise eye, and that gaze can definitely extinguish the most passionate Spanish beauty's most passionate desire to express. In Tang Sen's words, this product is completely a humanoid fire extinguisher, if it is not for Yan Xiaoxi, it is destined to be a lonely life.

Therefore, Wang Shizi did not plan to participate in the celebration party on the island, and was ready to take Tang Sen to talk about the future development plan. Of course, this is definitely against Tang Sen's wishes, and for a boy who loves to be lively and has no resistance to beautiful women, especially knowledgeable intellectual beauties, this kind of party is definitely not to be missed.

However, before Wang Shizi could catch Tang Sen, he was caught by An Yumo first.

"The call from the White House probably means that the new President of the United States, Ivan Brown, wants to visit us on Pultley Island before the scheduled visit to China, so I want to confirm your itinerary and wishes."

"Huh? A U.S. President's Visit to China? Why didn't I notice anything like this before? Wang Shizi was a little puzzled.

"It seems that because the president has just taken office, after communicating with the capital, the confirmed itinerary is set in a week, and it has not yet been officially announced by the media, so probably the news will come out today. Therefore, the date of the visit to the island can only be within this week, and the reply needs to be received as soon as possible to facilitate the itinerary, so you have to make a decision quickly. An Yumo was very calm, not at all excited by the visit of the world's superpowers.

"There's nothing to think about, the time is set in five days, and I just want to go back, since others want to come, we also have to do our best to be the landlord, and docking various security measures, five days should be enough." After you respond, let the island's security department know and ask the security department to help you communicate the specific security measures with the Americans. By the way, you haven't been on Air Force One with the President of the United States, have you? The matter here is almost finished, five days later they came, stay on the island for a day, just when they go back to the capital, they can take a hitchhiker, and they can save a fee for renting a special plane, it is not cheap, and it will be a waste of tens of millions to fly once! ”

Wang Shizi nodded and said, then ignored An Yumo's black line, and explained again, "Let's just reply like this, and then change my itinerary, and go back to the capital with the president's special plane next week, so I don't have to rent a special plane." By the way, I would like to tell Mr. Tang that our trip back to the capital will be postponed for three days. ”

After getting these news, Wang Shizi suddenly lost interest in chatting with Tang Sen for a while, maybe he should be alone and think about the motive of the US president's sudden decision to visit Putley Island, after all, he was dealing with a head of state, and he should show some sincerity. For example, if you carefully ponder the demands of this big man who represents a country, and get as many benefits as possible, you must know that the United States is a big resource country, and it has many rich mineral deposits that are necessary for the development of the Star Group.

……

It is difficult to keep the general itinerary of a country's president completely secret. Especially the president of the United States, after all, the pomp is too big, not to mention that this time Ivan Brown's visit is not only to China, but basically all Asian countries he intends to swing around.

So not long after the news of Ewan Brown's visit to China appeared in the Chinese media, the news of the US president's visit to Putley Island before his visit to the Chinese capital directly topped the front pages of major media outlets.

A presidential visit is never a trivial matter, and it is necessary to sort out all aspects of emotions, such as the meaning of a visit to Putley Island before visiting Asian countries. For example, whether this kind of itinerary is not very courteous to Asian countries. After all, Putley Island is just a research and development base for high-tech companies.

It's just that this move is taken for granted by many people. After all, it is currently the most powerful and powerful technology company on the planet, and the United States and Star Group have had a lot of awkward troubles before, from anti-monopoly investigations to a little conflict between the US Navy and the owner of the island, the relationship between the two sides is not too friendly. This is especially true when the world's largest company still refuses to settle in dollars.

So this trip also seems to represent a signal, and it is also supported by many Silicon Valley companies. After all, the major technology companies in the United States now have more or less trade with the Star Group, and it is indeed a trouble to not be able to use the US dollar for transaction settlement. And even more gratifying are the financial predators on Wall Street. After all, the dominance of the dollar in the world is their most important interest. So for Ivan Brown's travel, the media is still very optimistic.

As for the island, after the Ladder party, everything is calm again.

Ewan Brown's visit did surprise a lot on the day of the party, but only slightly. The arrival of the US president does not speed up the progress of their R&D projects, let alone have any substantial benefits. The key is that the R&D personnel on the island are all arrogant masters, and no one has a star-chasing plot, whether it is an entertainment star or a political star, even if this big name is not an ordinary person, but the president of the United States, it seems to be the same.

It is also understandable that the strangest temper in the world may be those researchers who are obsessed with research. For them, the project at hand is their whole world, and of course it would be very different if the president of the United States came with a lot of dollars to fund their research and development, and it would definitely be their most popular guest. It's a pity that the Americans don't seem to show their intention in this regard, and the strong financial strength of the Star Group also makes their desire for R&D funds not as strong as other R&D units.

Of course, the island's security department is still very nervous.

After all, it is a visit by the president of a country, and the various security measures are not ordinary complicated, especially the various requests made by the American agents in charge of the president's security who arrived in the early stage, and it is very troublesome to meet them one by one.

In the end, he reported to Wang Shizi, in exchange for a simple sentence, "Just do it according to the security measures we have formulated, love can't come, you can't get used to it!" ”

The island's security hardened, and the American agents relented. In fact, there is really nothing to be guarded against on the island, the warning circle that stretches for thirty nautical miles makes it almost impossible to smuggle onto the island, and the mecha routinely patrols on the sea every day, and there are countless vigilant robots cruising 24 hours a day below the sea surface. The island also has the most advanced missile defense system, which cannot be described as an iron barrel array.

Of course, this is not to defend someone, but to the hundreds of billions of dollars worth of equipment on the island, especially the Hadron Collider. Therefore, Wang Shizi is very confident about the security measures on the island, and naturally dares to speak hard.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides had a disagreement over the issue of covering the media.

The US side approved more than a dozen US media visits to the island, but they were directly vetoed by the island's security department. What international jokes? It's not for nothing that the security on the island is so strict, and a certain technology that is being studied here is not a secret within a secret? Even if you put it in the U.S. Department of Defense, you can enter a secret R&D department.

Will the Pentagon allow more than a dozen media outlets to visit the military's secret research bases? This time, the security department did not consult Wang Shizi, and directly took out the previous response, which was simply a sentence, "This is the territory of the Star Group, and if you want to come, you have to follow our rules." ”

In the end, the US side had no choice but to compromise again and arrange for two media outlets, a total of six journalists, to visit the island. Of course, these journalists must sign a letter of responsibility to voluntarily accept full supervision and to operate only to the extent they are allowed. In Wang Shizi's words, this is already a great face-saving for the new president of the United States, and after the previous female president, she can't even go to the island! (To be continued.) )
