Chapter 1: Installing an Elevator on Mount Everest
July 30, 2052 A.D.
Shenzhen, the top floor of Huayuanda Building.
Ren Zhonghui, president of Huayuanda Group, convened several capable cadres and was holding a meeting.
Qin Yingzhou is the chief engineer of Huayuanda, and as soon as he opened the plan in front of him, he heard a broken drink.
"Install an elevator on Mount Everest?!"
"That's right!" Ren Zhonghui Yangyang's plan in his hand said, "The group's five landings on Mars have failed, intelligent robots have been injured one after another, and they have been forced to supervise by the National Security Bureau, and this project is the most important ...... of the group from both a feasibility and an economic point of view."
"We're doing an expedition on Mount Everest, will this plan interfere with our work?"
It was Qiao Zhiyue, a biologist from the company, who spoke, Ren Zhonghui was not displeased that his words were interrupted, at least there was no change in mood on his face, he smiled slightly, wiped a handful of sweat beads on his forehead, and showed Qiao Zhiyue.
"You see, global warming, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Mount Everest is already a summer resort that the world yearns for, and the company's board of directors is also studying and preparing to move its headquarters to Tibet......"
"You can build a maglev parking lot on the north side of the peak!" Qiao Zhiyue interrupted Ren Zhonghui again, "Install an elevator for Mount Everest...... Hehe, that's a joke! ”
"That's in ......the past," Ren Zhonghui said no more than he said in the middle of his words, smiled and clicked the button on the desktop, turned on the laser monitor, and then operated with gestures.
Qin Yingzhou glanced at Qiao Zhiyue, and couldn't imagine that this female biologist, who was less than 30 years old, had a soft appearance but a very anxious temperament. Qin Yingzhou is not familiar with Qiao Zhiyu, but he has also heard some anecdotes about her, in a word-she is a person he can't afford to mess with.
"It's not like I haven't thought about repairing the parking lot, Yingzhou, can you talk about it?" Ren Zhonghui smiled bitterly, and there was obviously a hint of asking Qin Yingzhou for help in his tone.
Qin Yingzhou heard the boss call him, so he had to stand up and walk to the monitor.
"High-altitude maglev parking lot, the scale that can be achieved now is limited......"
"How big does it take! Are there really so many people who go to escape the heat? "It's still Qiao Zhi's appointment that steals the talk.
Qin Yingzhou looked at Ren Zhonghui speechlessly.
"Xiao Qiao, you listen to Yingzhou's words!" Ren Zhonghui's expression became a little serious.
"Okay, okay, you say!" Qiao Zhiyue threw the papers on the table and retracted into the back of his chair.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Qin Yingzhou wanted to say something sleek to ease the atmosphere, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't say a word on his lips, so he simply broke his thoughts, clicked on the file, and went straight to the point.
"As soon as you interrupt like this, I won't talk about that nonsense, in short, it is not feasible to repair the maglev parking lot, and installing elevators is the best plan at present, as for the problems you mentioned that affect scientific research, I guess you mean that it will destroy the ecology...... So, I hope that this plan can get your support and find a way to minimize the damage. ”
Qin Yingzhou waited for Qiao Zhiyue's refutation, but there was no movement for a long time.
Qiao Zhiyue sat there quietly, looking at the design of the elevator on the monitor. The picture shows that the elevator was built on the north side of Mount Everest, towering into the sky, starting with a lama temple.
"Little Joe?" Ren Zhonghui reminded Qiao Zhiyue in a whisper.
"Oh......" Qiao Zhiyue came back to his senses, "You probably don't know that the geological conditions behind the Danba Dajie Lama Temple, if construction starts there, it may cause the foundation of this thousand-year-old temple to sink or even be destroyed." ”
"We have considered this issue, and the Demolition and Relocation Office of the Himalayan Management Committee is negotiating with the temple about the relocation. As long as they agree, our company can remove the entire temple intact without damaging even a single corner of the artifact......"
"It's not a matter of destroying cultural relics, there's a reason why the lama temple is built there!" Qiao Zhiyue was obviously in a hurry again.
"Oh, I really don't know." Ren Zhonghui looked at Qiao Zhiyue, "You...... Tell me, what is the reason? ”
"I promised Khenpo that I couldn't tell outsiders, and if you want to know, you'd better ask him."
"Outsiders...... Oh......" Ren Zhonghui looked at Qiao Zhiyue, and seemed to smile, "In this way, Yingzhou, you and Xiao Qiao will go on a trip immediately, I still have some things to deal with here, and I will go over in a few days, no matter what the reason is, the conditions, as long as the khenpo is willing to say, you must try to meet it." ”
"Okay, Mr. Ren." Qin Yingzhou responded, turned to Qiao Zhiyue again, and said flatteringly, "Little Qiao, you have been working there all the year round and are very familiar with Khenpo......
"Is your name Little Joe?" Qiao Zhiyue got up and walked straight out.
A few people present held back a smile and looked at Qin Yingzhou, who was extremely embarrassed.
Ren Zhonghui came over and patted Qin Yingzhou on the shoulder and said, "My sister is very willful, Yingzhou, you can bear more!" ”
Qin Yingzhou waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
"Mr. Ren, I'm afraid you don't dare to say this in front of Xiao Qiao." One of the people here, playing haha, this is Shi Houkun, the vice president of the company, "When Xiao Qiao is here, I have never kept a low profile, so as not to be rolled!" Fortunately, she doesn't have much time in the company! ”
"Okay, don't make fun of us, you have to go all out to promote the follow-up and do a good job of guaranteeing Yingzhou."
"That's fine...... However, do you want to continue the investigation here......"
Ren Zhonghui's eyes motioned to Shi Houkun, Shi Houkun stopped talking, and the two walked to the side.
"Tracking the Source of Signal Transmission...... Also, filter the code again to see if you can find anything more......" Ren Zhonghui commanded in a low voice, "By the way, I always think Xu Jiayang has been weird recently......"
Xu Jiayang is the first person in charge of the Mars project and the chief scientist of Huayuanda Group.
"He? What's wrong? Do you doubt him?! Shi Houkun was surprised when he heard that the boss was suspicious of this big celebrity of the group.
"He has a habit of puffing a cigar and pinching his nose, because he has rhinitis, and he doesn't seem to be used to it recently......"
"Is the rhinitis cured?"
"I see he has medicine with him...... Hey, the Mars project has failed repeatedly, and all kinds of evidence suggest that we have spies inside, and I think everyone is suspicious now......" Ren Zhonghui's face was full of melancholy.
"Then do you think I'm suspicious?" Shi Houkun smiled.
"You?" Ren Zhonghui was stunned......
Ren Zhonghui and Shi Houkun continued to talk about something, Qin Yingzhou didn't care, Qiao Zhiyue's words just now had already made him fall into deep thought-
Little Joe, Little Joe...... Ay!
Qin Yingzhou couldn't help but think of the incident three years ago......
