Judging from the appearance of the house, it seems that the leading advance team is not valued within the consortium. Duchamp muttered to himself as he followed Professor Luthor into the gray house.

A kind, middle-aged woman, who was slightly blessed, greeted Professor Luthor cordially.

"This is one of the leaders of the Guiding Force, Ms. Terra." Professor Luthor finished introducing Duchamp and left first.

"That's right, I myself set up a club called the Civil Guiding Forces Research Association in Lulei Technical University, but it's not running very well now, I hope I can get some guidance from you." Duchamp explained the intention.

"Oh, the name of this club is quite interesting, and it seems to be in line with our purpose." Terra is very enthusiastic.

"The original intention was to follow your model, but now there is no specific idea, and it seems to be a little scattered." Duchamp was a little ashamed when he thought of the situation in his own society.

"It doesn't matter, it's good that young people have enthusiasm, it just so happens that the Erebonian Empire, due to the political system, has always been a country that is difficult for us to get involved in, and all the projects and experiences that we have formed here can be provided to you for free." Tyra said, pulling out a large stack of materials.

"This is a lot of experience and successful project cases that the advance team has gained after practicing in poor villages for so many years. For example, this is the conversion of an old threshing machine in the countryside into a guide-driven threshing machine. For the conductors and accessories for these projects, the consortium has been supplying them at cost price. There is also this, to transform the rural water mill, increase the guide drive, and make it more efficient. This is a very small harvesting equipment suitable for use in narrow mountainous areas. This is a plan to renovate rural lighting and living facilities, and some students from rural areas can start it immediately with these materials. ”

"All free?" Duchamp looked at the pile of information on the desk.

"Of course, the consortium has financial support for our projects every year. On the contrary, as a student club, it should be more difficult, and it is not easy to come to such a trip. ”

Duchamp's fingers tapped at the pile of papers, but he was thinking of the 150,000 idle laborers of Nosampulia. He tried his best to make a confident smile and said to Terra: "Actually, our community is also financially supported, and I myself am one of the shareholders of a civilian guide manufacturing company called 'Green Leaf Home Appliances'. I have a more immature idea and would like to communicate with you. ”

"You're already a shareholder of the company!" Terra looked at her in surprise, "What do you think, you can tell me about it." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Duchamp said: "I heard that the work done by the Epstein consortium has always been the research and improvement of the frontier of the guiding force, such as the most difficult to improve the power guide device, the guide engine, and the tactical guide force and the guide network, the expenditure on scientific research and popularization is huge, and the actual surplus of the foundation is not sufficient. ”

The Terra girl said frankly, "That's true. The research and development of the power guide is not worth the loss from the economic point of view, and only the Epstein Foundation is carrying out on the mainland, and the same is true in several other fields, and the source of funding mainly comes from the technology purchase of our R&D results by the consortium of various countries. The research institutes of several large countries on the mainland basically imitate our research results. In recent years, the consortium has been trying its best to reverse this situation so that it can continue to grow in the long run. ”

Duchamp continued to express his thoughts cautiously:

"So, is it also the scope that the consortium should consider directly taking out some advantageous projects and cooperating with other consortia or manufacturing companies in order to get more benefits?"

"Oh, why do you think so, the Leman Autonomous Prefecture has some disadvantages as a manufacturing base, the population is relatively small, and both the market and workers are relatively scarce. The development of the autonomous prefecture as a whole has always been biased towards the financial industry and scientific and technological research and development, and for the manufacturing industry, it has always been inclined to cooperate with other countries' consortiums. ”

"I'm mainly thinking about the surplus labor next door." Duchamp replied in his heart, but he said quietly: "You must know that we are from the Empire, and when we opened factories, there were many inconveniences, and a large number of mineral resources of the Empire were inclined to the military industry, which was very unfavorable to the development of civilian factories. In the northeastern part of the continent, there are many minerals, and the technology of the Epstein Foundation is well developed, and the local education is also very advanced. If the resources of the two are gathered here, and then some populous countries and regions next door are introduced, a very good base for the integration of R&D and manufacturing can be formed. Technology can be quickly transformed into production, and the income from sales can be quickly fed back into scientific research. ”

As he spoke, Duchamp suddenly realized what he was talking about, this is the model of the high-tech development zone that everyone on the earth knows, and when it comes to this model, the most mature model is, of course, the one in the southern part of San Francisco Bay in the United States.

He found an idea and continued: "This model will definitely attract capital injections from various countries, and even attract many scientific and technological personnel to come here to set up their own companies and produce leading products, thus cultivating a number of thriving small enterprises." And as you know, such a model can only be achieved by some small independent countries on the continent today, whether it is the Erebonian Empire or the Republic of Calvard, which are influenced by the chauvinism of the great powers, and it is impossible to give space for tech companies to develop freely. And the Liber Kingdom, geographically speaking, is less secure than the Leman Autonomous Prefecture. ”

Duchamp concludes: "Of course, this is just an immature idea that I have come up with because of some of the obstacles I have encountered in starting my own small business. At present, it is better to popularize the support project you give in the Department of Guidance of Lulei Technical University. ”

Terra's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said: "I have to say, your idea is very novel and attractive, but such a big thing is not something that people like me can decide, maybe at the right time, I will recommend your proposal to the consortium, but for now, I will take you to see the demonstration site of the Guiding Advance Mission?" ”

Duchamp knew that his utopian dreams were too detached from reality at this time, and turned his energy back to the operation of student clubs and the popularization of civilian guidance, but he thought to himself: he should write to Dr. Russell immediately, organize the "Guiding Valley" into a feasible plan, and let Dr. Russell use his influence to promote it.

Having returned from Ms. Terra, Duchamp could not wait to find a quiet inn by the Yumo River, and began to write to Dr. Russell:

"Doctor, in this delightful summer I visited your alma mater and the business you were involved in founding, and I have some immature ideas in this fresh and delightful city of Leman......"
