There were very few participants at the roundtable, with zero attendees on the U.S. government's side, with the exception of Gates and Steven Chu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And the Texas attendees, in addition to Greg, also have Greg's assistants.

A meeting of only four people!

When the door of the vermilion conference room slowly closed, because there was no note-taker, no one except the parties could know the content of the meeting.

And all electronic devices are isolated in this conference room, so Zhu Cheng doesn't know what they said, but Daystar still judged the meeting between Greg and Gates from various clues.

"Sir, there was a mistake in our big data analysis, and after the Hawaiian Islands**, Texas did not follow suit**, but sided with the Gates administration, why is that? If the Hawaiian Islands did succeed, the probability of a referendum in Texas was more than 87 percent, but why didn't they do it? ”

Daystar is a little puzzled, under the analysis of big data, his prediction has never deviated so much, this is the first time! Big data analysis and prediction are at the heart of Cree's online security system, which uses network information to organize other people's online lives and then screen out people who are hostile to Cree.

And now this prediction has finally made a mistake, which is a special case that it cannot understand, so he has doubts and puzzles in his heart.

"Probability, since it is an uncertain event, then it can happen and it may not happen. Most likely, our intelligence is incomplete. No matter how accurate our predictions are, they can't change the status quo, can they? That's human nature, and while Texas keeps shouting, they don't. And being on Gates' side, it's tricky. ”

Zhu Cheng was all emotional, especially the meeting between Greg and Gates, he had no way of knowing the content of the meeting. This made him a little anxious.

"Is there a robot in the United States that can infiltrate Gates' current office building? I want to know this! Zhu Cheng was a little anxious, he didn't quite understand where this anxiety came from, but he still wiped the sweat on his head.

And Zhu Cheng finally got his wish to know the content of the meeting, although the current status of Gates in the United States is a word-of-fact existence, especially the meeting between Greg and Gates, Gates did not even bring the robot guard sent by Cree to Gates!

Are two people good enough to wear a pair of pants? Zhu Cheng was a little in a trance.

"Sir, we found a nearby Ron with several small robots on him, and I'm ordering him to rush over and scout. Small robots do not fly fast. Please be a little more patient. ”

When the picture of the robot came, Zhu Cheng knew that the source of his uneasiness was because of the box in Greg's hand, which was a super alloy!

This alloy was named meteorite! Greg named it so because the metal has not yet been analyzed in his laboratory, but with current technology, it is impossible to cut and separate the metal.

As more and more pictures came from the robot, the sweat on Zhu Cheng's body slowly subsided.

"Mr. Gates, you can see that this material does not show any creep at a high temperature of 1,700 degrees, and at more than 10,000 degrees Celsius, it does not fuse, and still retains its original shape and properties! I need the newly formed Academy of Sciences in the United States to complete the division and utilization of this metal. ”

"Let's stop analyzing this metal for now, where did you get this metal? Is there a stable channel? ”

Gates knows the weight, this metal, even the Texas laboratory can not analyze, it is conceivable, it is an unprecedented alloy! So how vast is its future market? Naturally, Gates wants to take the source of minerals into his own hands.

And Greg said with a smile: "No matter what the result is, we will definitely jointly develop this metal, we will first analyze the composition of this metal block, so that we can talk about the follow-up problems, right?" Of course, once the use of this metal is completed, we can once again lead in science and technology, and it is not a dream for the United States to become the world's first power again! ”

"As soon as the analytical report and use value of this material is confirmed, we will provide the source of this metal. Gates, you can rest assured. I'm not going to leave him in my arms and rot! You know that with the size of Texas alone, you can't safely develop this metal, so we have to rely on the United States. ”

Greg smiled and spoke, glancing at his assistant next to him.

The assistant handed a document to Gates and said, "We stumbled upon a piece of meteorite gold and found that it is incomparably hard, 60 times stronger than a diamond!" It has good ultra-high temperature resistance, and the melting point is temporarily unknown. This is the research report that we did after the discovery of meteorite, Mr. Gates can take a look, as long as the follow-up research is shared, this mineral appears in the United States in an almost endless stream. ”

Gates took a deep breath, Greg said a lot, Texas can't mine this metal alone with its own state, and in the end it still has to be in line with the U.S. government, so he looked at it twice and handed the information to Steven Chu.

And the expression on Steven Chu's face is quite strange, what metal will not melt at tens of thousands of temperatures? If it weren't for such a solemn occasion, he would have said that he was sick and turned away. So he looked at Greg like a liar.

Is this bullying Gates for not understanding materials? Gates is not alone, he has a think tank behind him to do the analysis. And in this circular conference room, Steven Chu is a scientist, and if it is a lie, it will definitely be exposed.

The metal on the table reflected a little golden light in the sunlight, and the metal was mixed with some dirt, which did not spoil the beauty of this meteorite gold.

And he flicked the dirt on it with his hand, and found that it had not moved!

What looks like dirt is part of the metal? He looked at the research report and began to make a purely intuitive perception of meteorite.

And Zhu Cheng looked at this piece of metal and thought of looking for the answer from the library, after all, the current level of science and technology on the earth is relatively low, maybe it is an unsolved mystery on the earth, but when it comes to a high-level civilization, it may be well-known common sense.

But he didn't intend to ask Terrest, in case this metal is a very valuable resource in the universe, then if the news of the earth's meteorite gold is spread, it will only put the earth in danger, and the phrase "guilty" applies to any environment.

He began to search for materials science-related materials, and after a lot of analysis and research, Zhu Cheng finally saw a few words about this kind of material from a report.

"Meteorites, the less common metal in the universe, are among the more valuable resources. But it's not a scarce resource. The properties of the metal can be replaced by ammonium-radium-silver alloys. ”

A simple sentence made Zhu Cheng breathe a deep sigh of relief, metal is not precious, then it means that the earth will not become the target of public criticism, it is just rare, and there are artificial synthetic substitutes, so even if this metal is exposed, it doesn't matter, so he found Terrest.

"Dress, do you know this thing? I get one of these videos once in a while. Look. ”

Trest happened to be in the library, and when he heard Zhu Cheng's question, he opened his eyes and looked at the piece of metal, and said, "Meteorite gold, it's very hard, but the yield is extremely rare." There was once a planet that wanted to use this metal as a source of currency, but then artificial substitutes appeared, and it was over. This material is also produced on the planet Tianluo. The cause is unknown. The composition of the alloy, it seems that no one has studied it in particular. ”

"Not to mention this kind of thing, it is also resistant to ultra-high temperatures, and artificial alternatives are selected to form it at one time. There is no need to cut, saving time and effort. Trester lazily explained two sentences and continued: "Zhu Cheng, although you have a lot of contribution points, if you don't submit a thesis report, your contribution points will be empty. There is no foundation, so you need to provide papers stably, and you can earn more contribution points by being cited. It will be of great benefit to your growth later on. ”

Zhu Cheng got up from his seat, came to the safe of the private laboratory, opened the safe entirely, and said, "These are all papers I have saved up for a long time, and I was going to save more for you!" Since you said it, then I'm going to submit so much now! ”

Zhu Cheng really wanted to see the shocked look on Terrest's face, the thickness of his papers came from Cree's World Science and Technology Center, as well as his own usual output, but he was disappointed, Trester was not shocked, but said a little eagerly: "Submit, submit." It's been a long time since I've seen so many papers. ”

"I submit a paper, what good do you have to do? In such a hurry? Zhu Cheng asked a little strangely, and Trrest said: "Some people are librarians to gild a layer of gold, and I am a librarian to read more books, you know that the technology of any planet is distinctive, that is to say, every report may bring me more enlightenment." Science knows no boundaries and any science can learn from it. This is the attitude that a scientist should have. If so many papers can give me even a little help in advanced experiments, it is worth the price! ”

"Hurry, hurry!"

Trester said urgically, and Zhu Cheng shook his head and chose to submit the paper, and a thick pile of papers appeared on Treist's desk.

And he picked it up and began to study the report provided by Zhu Cheng with relish, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, very thoughtful!" I actually thought of using a fluorescent agent to observe proteases, but this method will destroy the structure of proteins, which is still a bit low-level. ”

"Let me excuse you, do you have any information on meteorites? Stop patronizing research papers. Zhu Cheng supported his forehead, he really couldn't figure out the character of this Trest, for a while he was like a behind-the-scenes boss, and for a while he was holding the attic and looking at it with relish, and now he showed the characteristics of loving learning, he really didn't know which was the real Trest.

"Meteorite's materials naturally belong to the category of second-level books, and in terms of the fact that you have submitted so many papers, and the quality is not bad, let me tell you where it is. Pages 784 to 798 of "Materials Science of the Universe" are some research reports on meteorites, but I warn you that the substitute is very cheap, so don't pay too much attention to it. ”

Although Trester said this, Zhu Cheng was still very interested in clicking on the cosmic materials science and began to excerpt, in the rules of the library, borrowing a book and reading the second book at the same time will increase the consumption of contribution points, but Zhu Cheng accumulated enough contribution points when upgrading the second-level library.

He began to copy the materialistic contents, scanning them and copying them into Daystar's repository, and he had previously thought of having Daystar scan the books in the library. But the books in the library can't be seen by others, and the scanner can't see either, so he can't do anything about being lazy in learning, so he can only get all the books step by step, step by step, in order to really use the technology in the library.

Of course, this speed will be a bit slow, but the foundation is solid, all the technology is just in his mind, take it and use it at any time, if it is in the memory of the Daystar, then if he loses contact with the Daystar, it will increase the difficulty of using the knowledge.

And it's even safer!

The deal between Gates and Greg was done, and Steven Chu and Greg's assistants began to brew two cups of coffee, and the entire meeting was conducted without any outsiders, except for a mosquito-sized robot lying on its stomach in the window.

Of course, a mosquito-sized robot has run out of fuel, after all, flying outside the cordon to Gates's office has a great load on the small robot, and it will choose to crash after the monitoring mission is over, and in reality, who cares about the corpse of a mosquito?

"Then Mr. Gates, the research on meteorites will be handed over to the newly established national laboratory, and our cooperation will be more pleasant in the future. As long as we Texas are around, they don't even think about it! ”

Gates originally thought that Greg would use California as a bargaining chip to fight for the income on the meteorite, but looking at Greg's meaning, he didn't have this idea.

Is it just that Californians are not pleasing to the eye?

He shook his head, he hadn't figured it out, and it seemed inconvenient to ask so much detail, and said, "Then it's hard Governor Greg." God bless America! ”

Gates slogans were shouted, and he did, which is why Texans and Texas politicians like Gates, of course, like does not mean support, although they usually shout to **, but they know that only a stable United States will make the states more prosperous.

Of course, this is not the main reason, Greg chose to support Gates and has a deeper idea. (To be continued.) )
