There is no impermeable wall in the world, and in just two or three days, the name of the space elevator has spread and attracted everyone's attention.

The thin nanotubes on Weigu Island have also become some kind of symbolic and mysterious totems, attracting countless media from all over the world to flock to the island, and when it is impossible to land on the island, reporters rent boats, station around, and aim at Weigu Island with telephoto lenses.

A staggering number of articles quickly dominated the headlines of all the media, many of which featured sensational gossip.

Since Luo Jia is a staunch China firstist and dislikes the hypocrisy and double standards of the West, some people have spread rumors that Xingchen Technology is evil and perverted, planning to launch space-based weapons from Station Zero, first destroy the earth, and then rebuild, and finally achieve hegemonic domination.

There are also rumors that Xingchen Technology has made great efforts to build the Department of Life Sciences in order to emulate the Parasol Company to engage in Resident Evil, first exterminate humans, and then replace them with clones.

Anyway, global public opinion is very lively now, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky.

"Destroy the Earth first, and then rebuild?" At the morning meeting of the Authority, Wen Chengling said helplessly: "It's not an idle egg, what good can we do by destroying the earth?" The people who spread this rumor, you say they are sick or not, they don't understand us at all, and they treat us like beasts. ”

"Hey, it's actually normal for Westerners not to understand us." An Ran shrugged his shoulders and said: "A considerable number of foreigners, always feel that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, and they don't bother to understand the outside world at all, in 2008, Russia sent troops to beat Georgia, and the North American masses stopped doing it at that time, and they wanted to find Russia desperately." ”

"Everyone wonders, Russia fights Georgia, why are the people in North America so excited, and then the truth is finally revealed, it turns out that there is a Georgia state in North America, the spelling is the same as Georgia, and the rednecks don't know that there is a country in the world called Georgia, and they think that Russia wants to fight North America."

It was a pleasant episode, everyone laughed, and after laughing, they turned their eyes to Luo Jia, who was sitting at the top.

"I have said more than once that the earth is too small, if human beings are still enterprising, the sea of stars will be our only choice, and when we go to the sea of stars, we should be led by Huaxia." Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "This point will never change, let them go, gossip is our only direction." ”

"It will take almost a year to build the space elevator, and during this time, we have to make every effort to support the space program, and although the Kármán vortex street power generation array is excellent, it cannot be applied outside the earth, so our mining ships, our lunar colonies, and our ion thrusters all need controlled fusion as a pre-technology."

Everyone nodded, and it seems that the company's next development focus will be controlled fusion.

An Ran scratched his head with a ballpoint pen, "Speaking of controllable fusion, I just got news from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and several bigwigs are very interested in us taking over the southwest fusion base and rebuilding it." ”

"Oh? Who are the Chinese Academy of Sciences? What are they interested in? Luo Jia asked.

An Ran immediately said the names of several people, although Luo Jia didn't know them, but they had all heard of them, they were big bulls in the field, leaders in controlled fusion research.

As for why they came, it was actually very simple, Luo Jia asked Dr. Xie Tian's team to carry out a large-scale transformation of the original fusion facility in Chengdu according to the revelation and information of the black sword, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences was very curious after hearing about it, and planned to go over and take a look.

"The bigwigs of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are not easy to fool, they must find a way to give the credit to the team, and they can't let them all stare at me." Luo Jia pondered in her heart.

So far, in addition to the brainless Germans, there is no second institution in the world to study stellarstellars, Xingchen Technology suddenly jumped from tokamak to stellarator, if the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not curious, it is strange, after all, every move of Xingchen Technology has attracted global attention, and it is normal for the national team to send an expert group to observe.

After thinking about it, Luo Jia said: "The work of the rocket laboratory has come to an end, so let's go to Chengdu, leave in the afternoon, receive the expert group tomorrow, and invite them to eat two hot pots by the way." ”

An Ran smiled and nodded, "That's okay, it's good for you to have a good relationship, after all, the stellar simulator plan was proposed by you and Xie Tian together, and you know the situation better than me." ”

Luo Jia didn't say anything, in order to keep it secret, not only did he never ask for credit, but also did everything possible to push the credit outward, just take this time, the stellar simulator plan was obviously proposed by Luo Jia, but the whole company thought it was the result of Luo Jia and Xie Tian's joint discussion.

Looking around, Luo Jia said to Shen Lang: "Xingchen Entertainment is the mouthpiece of the company, a propaganda machine to guide public opinion, as the old saying goes, wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, although since the establishment of the company, there has been a lot of rumors, but recently the rumors have become more and more serious year by year, the reason is very simple, we are making the opponent more and more afraid." ”

"The cultural aspect should still be strengthened, the robot is a good propaganda point, Shen Lang, you will ask Enron for advice in the future, and cooperate more closely with the hardware department."

Shen Lang nodded and looked at An Ran next to Luo Jia.

Enron thought for a while, "According to the company's plan, the robot will definitely be promoted in the future, but because we haven't solved the cost problem, the cost of Star Feather Wings is 3.5 million units, which is really a bit expensive, and the defense of countries against us is also relatively serious, and the robot cooperation project is very difficult." ”

"In this way, I'll get some miniature versions of toy robots for promotion in the cultural department, or if you want to shoot dramas, you can also use robots to intersperse the plot, in short, first create an atmosphere of the coming robot society, maybe in this environment, it will also help the negotiation work of the Ministry of Commerce."

Even within the Authority, there are people who don't understand why Luo Jia wants to popularize robots around the world, so that the West can watch China enter the era of robots, but he is helpless to be anxious and angry with them, which is so enjoyable.

But since Luo Jia insisted on doing this, everyone could only guess that he had other deep meanings, and obeyed Luo Jia's wishes, in the final analysis, everyone trusted Luo Jia in their hearts and believed in any decision he made.

Shen Lang and An Ran quickly finished talking about cooperation, Shen Lang's entertainment department is not big, but it is very independent, even if An Lang is the vice president of the company, he can't give direct orders to Shen Lang, from these circumstances, it is not difficult to see Luo Jia's care for his beloved apprentice.

"Pay attention to your email, today and tomorrow, I will assign you a new study task." Luo Jia said to Shen Lang.

The secret net is a good thing, Luo Jia helped the black sword navigate, not only got a full set of materials for controllable fusion, but also obtained the textbooks of the Energy Civilization Command Academy, Luo Jia read part of it by himself, and was ready to select suitable content and give it to Shen Lang to study.

"Good teacher." Shen Lang nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Luo Jia looked at the Wen brothers, Wen Chengfeng is a full-time life scientist, introverted, and does not like to talk, Wen Chengling is more talkative than his younger brother, not only in charge of the life science department, but also the dean of the Laser Research Institute.

Wen Chengling frowned lightly and said calmly: "There is still no progress on our side, and we will continue to increase our efforts in the future." ”

Hearing this, Luo Jia suddenly chuckled in his heart, the hidden meaning behind the so-called increased efforts, he knew very well that life science and other research were different, and it really had to be filled with human lives.

Fortunately, in the past two years, the semiconductor division of Xingchen Technology has matured, and the distributed supercomputing system is unique in the world, and many experiments have been carried out in the supercomputing center.

"After all, it's a lone department." Luo Jia sighed in his heart: "Other departments can benefit from the inheritance of the golden dome to some extent, only the Department of Life Sciences, which is supported by the Wen brothers, can achieve this level today, it is not easy, even if they are a little ruthless and have done a lot of human experiments, it is also a must on the road of scientific research, and it must not be a woman's benevolence." ”

"In addition, now that there is a secret net, he can contact the blue feather of plant civilization, he should have some powerful black technology in his hands, but Lan Yu seems to be very homely, he usually doesn't go out, and he doesn't need me to use the star map to guide him, it is definitely not appropriate to ask him directly for technology, it is not in line with the high-end personality of my pilot, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to make some transactions with Lan Yu and exchange some technology for plant civilization."

"In addition, the black sword should also continue to pay attention, the energy civilization must have other technologies that I need, Cao Yuan's ion propulsion research seems to be in trouble, I don't know what kind of propulsion technology is used by the energy civilization? Well, I'm looking forward to it. ”

Luo Jia thought a lot in his heart, since the opening of the secret net, his horizons and channels have expanded a lot, and finally he has an understanding of the world beyond the earth, and with the passage of time, the secret net will definitely bring Luo Jia more unexpected surprises.

"Let me add a little bit." An Ran said to the Wen brothers: "According to the grapevine in North America, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has not been disbanded, and Reinhardt led Cold Spring Harbor from the ground to the underground and became a non-public secret laboratory. ”

"In addition, the founder of Cold Spring Harbor, Dr. James Watson, there are rumors that he has re-emerged from the mountain, the reason, I know with my heels, I must be coming for us, Reinhardt is a student of James, and he failed miserably to us in the immune activation study, and now the teacher is out of the mountain, and he wants to administer justice for his apprentices and win back a game for North America, so the Department of Life Sciences must prepare early, and I am a layman in this regard, so I will not give specific opinions."

Listening to Enron's words, the Wen brothers frowned slightly, James Watson is the father of genes, the first batch of scientists engaged in DNA research, and a Nobel Prize winner.

But at the same time, James Watson is also a notorious madman in the West, the kind that does not stop talking, for example, he thinks that black people are not yet fully evolved monkeys and cannot be classified as human beings, and during his tenure at the helm of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, African Americans are not even allowed to enter the laboratory door, and even sweeping aunts are not allowed to have black people.

The style of this Nobel laureate is completely the modern version of the Führer's remnants, and his reputation is very bad in the West, and the angry Nobel Prize jury directly deprived him of the award, claiming that it was the greatest shame in the history of the jury to give this guy an award.

"Compared to Bell Labs, Oak Ridge Labs, and even NASA, I still care more about Cold Spring Harbor, because the people in Cold Spring Harbor are really unruly and dare to do anything." After thinking for a moment, Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "I see, the Department of Life Sciences must not only have an offensive plan, but also a defensive plan to prevent all kinds of emergencies. ”

The Wen brothers were slightly stunned, immune activation is the most bullish virus defense mechanism in human history, the limit of the human body's potential, stronger than any drug, it seems that Luo Jia feels that it is not enough, and he has to guard against the black hand of Cold Spring Port, which shows that Luo Jia's evaluation of Cold Spring Port is much higher than that of other opponents.

At the end of the meeting, Cao Yuan talked about the progress of ion propulsion, during this time Cao Yuan was busy with the space elevator project, and as the space elevator entered the first phase of construction, Cao Yuan will then turn the focus of his work back to the propulsion laboratory.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Luo Jia announced the dismissal of the meeting, he cleaned up briefly in the office, returned to the meditation center, put on the virtual reality helmet, and landed on the secret net.
