The autumn sun shines through the open glass, and it is warm and comfortable. Looking at the garden landscape that is still under construction outside, Adam, the man who paid a lot of money, is still in a dream.

Sophia explained earnestly: "Let me explain. The main building of the laboratory can be understood as a square piece of paper erected up. The length and width of this paper are 18,425 meters, and the thickness is 597 meters. ”

Isn't it just that the height is too high?!

"A piece of paper...... A piece of paper...... Hehe, hehe, what a piece of paper!" Adam had a broken expression on his face, and said super fast: "I'll do the math, the thickness is close to six hundred meters, which means that the active aircraft carrier is about the length of two ships connected to the head and tail." And then talking about the width, the deck width of an aircraft carrier is about 70 meters, that is, there are 260 ships horizontally. The vertical direction needs to be stacked...... I can't count it anymore! This is the size of more than 400,000 aircraft carriers stacked together!"

Adam was almost mad, he pointed to the proud building he was still renovating, and finally struggled: "Look at this, this is being built, it cost a lot of money, what is this?"

"Perimeter facilities, miscellaneous bases. Sophia patted the drawings with a serious face: "This is the Tiberium Laboratory." Adam, don't let poverty limit your receptivity, it's nothing, it's just a phase of the project. ”

Is poverty limiting my receptivity?

This statement is very fresh, hey!

Okay, exhale~~~suck~~~ Concentrate, I managed to take it...... A piece of paper...... A piece of paper...... I dig up the whole Olympus Mountains, knead them, clatter them, and shoot them again, and I can make a piece of paper like this...... Falk'er!!a piece of paper!!And, is it only the first phase of the project?!Is there another phase 2 or 3?

Sophia deserves to be Sophia, and sure enough, the thought circuit is not at the same level as us mortals. Isn't it a very good thing that all of a sudden is an ultra-fast communication network and a Cybertron processor with 5.8 million times the computing power? Why do you keep mentioning radio telescopes, lunar accelerators, and stratospheric laboratories?

If you do one thing, you must concentrate on one thing first, and the Pentagon's balance has not yet been settled!

No, it's this kind of mythical project again, and she has to find an excuse to stop her. By the way, how did you stop the comer last time? It's been months and I can't remember...... Pregnant!

"Sophia, that, let's not discuss the necessity of building this kind of laboratory, let's talk about the feasibility first. There is no material that can support such a stratospheric building, right? If the building is too high and its own weight is too large, the foundation will collapse directly. The construction period is not guaranteed, or it is difficult to obtain so many building materials if you have the money. Besides, building a site is a huge problem. The 18,000-kilometer-high and wide building has too high requirements for things like crustal hardness and wind stability. If there is a gust of horizontal wind, won't the building fall down entirely?"

Call...... My head is so hot, my head is buzzing, is this called overclocking? Thanks to my brain that can overclock, I thought of such a good statement in a short period of time, and my processor will be able to play overclocking in the future!

But it's not just the words, it's the case. The Empire State Building is only 380 meters high, and the World Trade Center, which has only been completed in recent years, is only 400 meters out. Bringing down such a building in its entirety can't match the thickness of the laboratory? I'm afraid this "paper" will have to be built by aliens!

Thinking so, Adam became more and more sure in his heart. But when Adam looked across the side, the girl's face was full of confidence without any trace of loss or frustration. This confidence, which was not at all like trying to dispel thoughts, made Adam chuckle in his heart.

"I've already found a place to build it. Sophia had a natural face: "There is no need to build a foundation, there is no need to worry about gravitational collapse, and there is no consideration of wind resistance." ”

"Outer space?" Adam thought he was already up to the girl's train of thought: "You want to build a subcontinent in outer space?" Adam couldn't help but smile: "You know Sophia, I just thought of a good idea." I immediately invested money in Lucasfilm to keep them working on the third part of Star Wars. I'll tell them that the Imperial Engineering Department can't be stopped, and the Death Star has to be built!"

"It's humorous, but boom, wrong, not in outer space. Sophia crossed her hands: "If in near-Earth space, there is also a risk of being torn apart by the gravitational distortion of the planet, and the rings of large planets are mostly composed of torn moons." And if it is in the far space, we do not have a good way to facilitate the construction, and the feasibility is too low. ”

Adam was powerless: "It's as if we could easily build it in near-Earth space." ”

"Yes. ”

"Huh?"

"What's so difficult?" Sophia wondered, "Wouldn't it be nice to build the parts on the ground, teleport them to near-Earth space, and then assemble them?"

"Uh-huh?!!!"

"I mean......"

"You wait a while! You wait a minute!" Adam was shocked, instantly shocked, completely shocked, and stumbled: "Your kind of ability, can you still send matter to outer space?"

Sophia asked rhetorically, "Why not?"

Adam was directly confused.

If you think about it, you can clearly see the arc of the surface after more than 30 kilometers from the surface of the earth, and after more than 800 kilometers, you will reach the fugitive layer of the atmosphere, which can already be regarded as outer space in a broad sense. In fact, it is not too high to travel in space, and the spy satellite with the lowest altitude is only more than 100 kilometers above the ground.

And the diameter of the earth itself is more than 12,700 kilometers, and Sophia can take people all over the world, which shows that these 12,000 kilometers are nothing, so of course it is not a matter of a few hundred kilometers or something. But, uh, eh, is there still such an operation ......?!!!? Can the power of witches not only circle the world, but also the heavens?!

I really didn't think of it!

"Wait, don't speak first!" In the short reaction time, Adam suddenly thought of something. He turned back sharply from side to side, and looked around carefully as if he were facing a great enemy, and found that there was indeed no one else in front of him. He immediately grabbed Sophia's arm and quickly walked to the side. A door was pulled open, and it slammed shut. After scrutinizing the surroundings and being convinced of the room's secrecy and soundproofing, Adam pressed up and slammed his arms at Sophia.

He inhaled deeply, then exhaled again, controlling his emotions as he was about to go berserk.

Sophia didn't know why: "What's wrong?"

"Sophia," Adam's voice was dry, a large part of his face was clouded, and his English was all turned upside down, "Really, can, send people or matter into outer space?"

Sophia simply nodded: "Yes." ”

Hiss...... Adam inhaled deeply, then exhaled slowly: "How far can you send it, how much material can you send up?"

"The farthest ...... Haven't tried it, don't know yet. However, the farther the distance, the greater the burden. The farthest distance ever sent is the moon. Sophia scratched her head with a smile: "The gunmen who came to assassinate you last time, I was angry, so I sent them to the moon." ”

Moon?!

The moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth on average, and the moon is 400,000 kilometers at the maximum?!

Not to mention the Adam in the memory, even Yang Qi, who was watching the memory, was shocked again and again, and was constantly frightened. No wonder, no wonder my aunt has been thinking about what telescopes and acceleration rings to build on the moon.

"However, it is still too much of a burden to send to the moon, and it may be better now, but it is still very reluctant. I didn't think about it that much at the time, I just wanted to keep them away, so I threw it over in one go. Sophia said with a natural expression: "Now that I think about it, it's so stupid." Wouldn't it be easier and more convenient to throw them into the deep sea, glaciers, volcanoes, in front of speeding vehicles, in the nests of wild large carnivores, in the molds of stamping machines, in steel-making furnaces, or just throw them into a hundred meters of free fall. ”

"Hah!!" Adam laughed suddenly, the kind of short, high-pitched laughter that seemed to be about to go berserk. He let go of his arms, raised his head to the sky, and stood like an eight gods: "Haha, hahahaha, hahaha! That is to say, from now on, we will be able to monopolize the outer space exploration industry at the lowest cost! What launch vehicles, what return systems, what moon landing programs, what Apollo 13, there is no need at all!"

Under this tremendous stimulus, Adam's mind revealed its original color. The looming ferocity surfaced on his face again, the ten fingers of his hands twitched and bent like tentacles, and his face was full of madness: "Also, I can also study my own satellites, build my own space station, and build my own space empire." It's not about money at all. Without my permission, not a single rocket in this world will be able to take off, and the entire universe will be under my shadow!"

Just as Adam was muttering to himself like a nervous disorder, Sophia's long-lost stunt reappeared.

Smack, a pair of hands, firmly controlled the face. Sophia stiffened that face, and what caught Adam's eye was a cold, angry face: "Explain, what do you mean by this abnormal expression." Also, don't digress, we're talking about lab construction. ”

"Laboratory? oh, uh, that lab, yes, yes, we're talking about the lab. Adam immediately collected his expression and calmed his emotions. The girl in front of him is really powerful, and he vows to open his brain bigger than his brain itself, and go all out to keep up with the rhythm of this girl.

Moreover, don't you think that since Sophia officially established the laboratory, your inner drama has been a little too much?

"Where?"

Sophia coldly reminded: "Site selection." ”

"Have you already talked about the location?" "Isn't it time to talk about the possibility first?" But this aunt can't be offended now, so let's go down the topic: "If it's not outer space, where did you choose?"

"It's in the Heart of Tiberium hyperspace. ”

Bang, that's the sound of Adam's jaw hitting the floor.
