On April 20, after nearly two months of sailing, at eight o'clock in the evening of the same day, a thousand and three people who had set out from France finally arrived at the port of Chingniwa.

Qingniwa Port is now the largest port in the north.

The original Jinmen Port and Tangshan Port have long been inland areas.

Passenger ships can only dock at Qingniwa Port, which is about three or four hundred kilometers away from the nearest Jinmen area, and it takes half a day to drive.

After getting off the boat, Dad Xu took Ye Hui and others to express a warm welcome to everyone.

After dinner, the group stayed at a local hotel.

Fortunately, Ye Hui prepared in advance, otherwise she would not have been able to arrange so many people for a while.

As for the entry procedures, they have already been handled when entering the Sunda Strait.

Like the fate of the Suez Canal, the Malu Cape Strait has long been unnavigable due to the drop in sea level, and the relevant routes can only be detoured through the Sunda Strait.

Before going to sleep, Dr. Alex reached out to Director Martinez, who had too much to talk to his old partner.

Martinez poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for the other party.

Alex took a sip of tea, and then sighed: "Martinez, I was shocked by what I saw and heard along the way. ”

"And what, Doctor, impressed you the most?" Director Martinez asked with a smile.

Dr. Alex looked down and thought about it.

"It's peace, yes, it's peace!"

"Peace? How so? ”

"When we were in Europa, and in all the countries we passed through, that kind of social antagonism, that kind of sharp contradictions, made people feel very unsure.

But since leaving Tianzhu Sea, everything has changed.

Whether it is in Yadda, Da Nang, Shanghai-Beijing, or the port where we are currently located, the living conditions here may not be very good, but there is no such cynicism on everyone's faces. ”

Director Martinez nodded:

"I also feel the same way, especially after entering the Great Xia, every coastal city is as prosperous as Bali, and I love their night scenes."

"Martinez, I think you're right, the future belongs to Great Xia, not only our Europa, even if it's a beautiful country, I'm afraid it can't compete with it.

Although we don't want to admit it, we all know that we have lost, and we have lost completely, and we may not be able to fight unless we unite with the beautiful country. ”

Dr. Alex said slowly.

Director Martinez shook his head: "Impossible, even if we join forces, we can't compete with Great Xia." ”

"Why?"

"Because the capitalists, by contrast, are more afraid of the workers as a group, and they would rather use robots than give them the opportunity to unite.

Without industrial workers, how can we defeat our opponents? Rely on the metaverse? In addition to all kinds of consuming resources, the metaverse is actually useless. ”

Director Martinez concluded:

"Doctor, only production is the foundation of strength."

"Production?" Dr. Alex was thoughtful.

Director Martinez sighed: "Okay, there are some things that are useless, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the rest!" ”

"What do you want to know?"

"Doctor, what did that Xu Dong promise you just now? I saw that you looked so shocked that you almost knocked over the plate. ”

Alex didn't hide it: "They offered me an annual salary of three million. ”

"Is it Xia Yuan, or is it a franc?"

Martinez's breathing became rapid.

"Xia Yuan."

"How can there be so many?"

Alex waved his hand: "If you want to get this money, there are conditions attached. ”

"On what terms?"

Director Martinez hurriedly asked.

"You need to publish an authoritative paper in the top journal of Great Xia, otherwise you will only have a basic salary of one million. Of course, for each additional paper, an additional reward of one million will be awarded, and the other party himself said that there is no upper limit. ”

"Is it okay to have any type?"

Alex's head spun quickly.

"Don't be cranky, their top journals are no longer inferior to the world level, especially in the field of biology, which is rising very rapidly."

"Doctor, don't you even have faith?"

"With my ability, one article a year is quite reluctant, unless you are very lucky and have discovered a new field, and you are also an insider, so I don't need to say more!"

Martinez envied: "Even if it's only three million a year, it's no worse than the beautiful country." ”

"A beautiful country can't give it so high." Dr. Alex shook his head, "I've received several invitations before, and the best one is only half a million dollars. ”

"It seems that they are very sincere, huh?"

"Yes, I just spoke to their CTO and I found that their R&D progress is beyond imagination and the potential of this project is even greater than I expected."

"Really? What about the success rate? Has there been any improvement? ”

"I looked at their long-term plan, and they should be able to achieve initial success, as long as they are willing to implement the 20 billion R&D funds."

"What do you mean by initial success?"

Alex explained: "It's about being profitable, that's the bottom line they've set. ”

"What about profit margins?"

"This technology does not have ten or twenty years of precipitation, and I am afraid it will not be so easy to produce results. I'll give you a simple example, maybe in three or five years, it will probably be able to match the yield of potatoes. ”

"So low?"

Director Martinez was disappointed, although growing potatoes is a good business at the moment, but the profit margin is too low.

"That's why I said, it's very difficult!"

Dr. Alex shook his head with a wry smile.

"Are there no shortcuts?"

"There must be shortcuts in theory, but the probability is very small, and you can only try your luck. But don't be discouraged, there is still a lot to be gained in this project. ”

Martinez looked dazed.

Alex Bo whispered: "Cultivating seaweed is much easier than growing food, on the one hand, it doesn't need fresh water, and it can even skip photosynthesis directly, which is its biggest advantage." ”

"They've gotten to this point?"

Martinez was taken aback.

"Not yet, but at their current pace, their dependence on light sources has been greatly reduced. If you think about it, getting rid of the constraints of fresh water and energy, does its potential still need to be spoken? ”

"I see!"

"Their only problem now is that the output cannot be increased, which cannot be solved in a short period of time, and needs to be taken slowly."

"I see, it looks like we're going to be ready to fight for a long time."

"That's right, I've already decided, I'll let Linda and them move in when I go back, and we've already arranged housing for us. Martinez, don't hesitate to bring your family over! ”

Martinez nodded: "No problem, I'll call tomorrow and let them fly over directly, and then the two of us can be leaders again." ”

"Well, I think they must be happy!"
