When Ning Xiao asked this question, there was an awkward silence in the office.

In fact, the answer is undoubtedly yes, but Tim Cook obviously doesn't want Ning Xiao to go his own way. Although the contradictions between the two sides seem irreconcilable at the moment, there is still the luxury of hoping that someone will take a step back before something irreparable happens.

It's just that Tim Cook hasn't figured out how to phrase it.

After all, Apple is also in the whirlpool this time.

So Ning Xiao, who had obviously thought about it, spoke again: "Actually, I know that there is an insurmountable generation gap between us, so it is difficult for us to empathize with each other. Our family used to be very not rich, well, it can even be described as poor. So for a long time, I didn't know how to look at things from a macro perspective, and I liked to take the path of happiness and revenge.

But at where I am now, I have learned a lot of things, and I have gradually tried to look down on the problem from a high vantage point under the persuasion of many people. But my experience has narrowed my horizons, so my perception of the world is still very confused. So even now, I still like to solve problems in the simplest and most straightforward way.

For example, I always think that for the vast majority of ordinary people, if they want to live a better life, all personal efforts are actually very nihilistic, and they actually rely on two points, one is scientific and technological progress, and the other is the progress of social production relations. The former increases productivity, which is enough to ensure that the basic life of the vast majority of people is getting better and better; The latter can make the mode of exploitation more subtle and make people more mentally happy.

Moreover, these two points complement each other, and only then can the progress of the productive forces promote the progress of social production relations. Google's engineers can enjoy fragrant coffee during afternoon tea and squander millions of dollars in annual salaries thanks to the advent of the Internet. Similarly, the emergence of the Internet has subversively changed the effect of media communication, making the channels for ordinary people to receive information broader, thus changing the logic of life.

Now is the era of artificial intelligence, and it just so happens that the key to the core technology is in my hands, or in this base. That's what I'm confident about. The N1 robot and the upcoming anti-gravity spaceship represent a completely different logic of the future world, and this logic is at least for now, and this is my confidence.

It just so happens that I am only 23 years old this year according to the official algorithm, and I am still very young, very young, so please help me bring a very middle two sentence: If you don't accept it, come to fight! I like to be lively, and I like to watch rivers of blood flow the most. Okay, that's the end of the question, you can talk about your purpose. ”

……

Tim Cook stretched slightly.

When he watched Ning Xiao say the words "If you don't accept it, you will fight" in a calm tone, he knew that there was no part of his persuasion today.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ning Xiao has a criminal record, and there are many of them.

This young man really didn't care about the blood flowing.

The tragedy caused by the turbulence algorithm back then is still vivid, followed by the chain reaction brought about by the backhand pressing the entire virtual currency market, which is the chaos caused by many people in places that many people have not seen, and it has not even fully recovered.

He will never forget what he had seen that day at the estate of Auberge Dupontler.

When countless lightning bolts fall from the sky around you, the experience of rolling thunder as if it explodes in your ears is enough to make people afraid of this world.

Although Ning Xiao did not admit that he did it.

But there are some things that don't need to be admitted, everyone knows that he did it. This young man is insane.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tim Cook decided not to think about it.

Ning Xiao said that he just needed him to bring a word, so he only needed to bring a word. In fact, this is a good thing for Apple, and being able to hear this decision from Ning Xiao's mouth in advance is worth hundreds of billions for Apple.

But what needs to be said, he still has to say.

As for whether the other party listens or not, that's not what he cares about.

After hesitating for a long time, the elder who had been at the helm of the first company in the universe for several years said thoughtfully: "Ning, there is no need to be so intense. Of course, I believe that you and your base have this ability, but this world is not the same world as it was a hundred years ago. It has never been as fragile in the face of technology as it is today. Like you said, we can solve anything peacefully, in fact, ......"

Ning Xiao looked at Tim Cook and smiled......

"Haha, Tim, you don't know what technology is, and I suspect you can't tell the line between science and technology. Come, I'll explain it to you......"

Saying that, Ning Xiao stood up and walked to the window of the second floor, Tim Cook was stunned, and then hurriedly followed Ning Xiao and stood beside him.

Ning Xiao, who was standing in front of the window, pointed out the window and asked, "What did you see?" ”

Tim Cook looked in the direction of Ning Xiao's finger, well, it was actually a large lawn opposite the small building.

The research base is mainly located in the early space academy and ten large test buildings, and there are not many buildings on the surface of the base in the depths of the base, but small buildings scattered in the shade of trees. The main tests were done underground.

For many high-precision instruments, it is also more suitable for working underground. This is because even the slightest vibration can cause an error.

So the ground has a high green coverage, in other words, there are many lawns in this area.

Tim Cook had seen more than a dozen similar lawns before he came, and at least in his opinion, the lawn outside the window was no different from what he had seen when he came.

"A lawn...... Or can it be converted into a football field? Tim Cook, who really didn't see anything special, replied uncertainly.

Ning Xiao glanced at Tim Cook with a smile, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it can indeed be converted into a football stadium, but it is also possible that it is a take-off platform." ”

After speaking, Ning Xiao said casually: "Open the No. 3 Liftoff Base." ”

As Ning Xiao's words fell, Tim Cook saw a scene that he would probably never forget in his life, the middle part of the previous green lawn suddenly began to rise, and then cracked in the middle, moving in both directions to the east and west, until a ship-like flying machine was hidden under the lawn.

The reason why it is called a flying machine is because this thing is obviously suspended in the air, and there are many people working there below it, and from his perspective at this time, he can even see the engineers in the base looking up at space.

Without waiting for Tim Cook to come back to his senses, Ning Xiao said again: "Please evacuate the staff, Longxing No. 1, prepare to start, lift ten meters into the air, take the left air passage, and go to my office in Building No. 1." ”

With Ning Xiao's casual order, Tim Cook saw that the engineers below began to move in an orderly manner, and everyone retreated outside the red line below, and then Tim Cook saw that the ship began to rise slowly until it was level with his line of sight, and then continued to rise, and then the bow of the ship slowly turned towards the small building where he and Ning Xiao were.

A huge sense of oppression struck in an instant.

I didn't feel it like it from afar, but when this flying machine headed towards Xiaolou, I could feel how huge it was.

Tim Cook unconsciously lowered his breath until the ship blocked out the sunlight and came to a suspended halt less than a meter from the small building.

At this point, he could no longer see the full extent of the flying machine, and could only look up at its huge silver-glowing belly......

"The Dragon Series anti-gravity spacecraft, this is the prototype of the first generation, well, it's basically what we built and played, it has no function, it can fly, it can transport things. However, the material of this thing is not easy to control, because the negative mass substance also has the property of being able to filter and absorb electromagnetic waves, really, let it mix in the clouds and turn off the transponder, we can't find it ourselves. So it can't even be put into the civilian field.

In order to make it safer, at least in the event of a problem with the transponder, and to be recognized by the air command system, we had to change the material of the airframe. However, this unexpected discovery has given our aerospace aircraft carrier an extra layer of protection. Speaking of aerospace aircraft carriers, Mr. Xu, who visited the N1 robot with you today, should have almost built it in the base.

The reason why he came to watch the performance of our N1 robot is that the aerospace aircraft carrier needs the cooperation of the robot when it goes into the sky. After all, normal people can't work normally without protection at an altitude of 20,000 or 30,000 meters, but robots just can. Our people only need to remotely manage these robots in the tower of the aircraft carrier, and they can direct the planes in the hangar to take off and land.

Well, there are some small stories in this, originally we also designed a throughput device under the aerospace aircraft carrier, directly dropped the plane, and then started in the air, but this is too demanding for the pilot, so the first aerospace aircraft carrier finally chose to cooperate with the robot's take-off and landing method on the deck, which is simpler.

However, we still haven't given up on dumpling-style starting, but for specially designed drones. Presumably, the next generation of aerospace aircraft carriers will be used. We're also thinking about how to incorporate negative mass materials into the N1 robot, so that we can make the N1 robot more playable.

So, what you're seeing now is the right technology. As for this prototype of the Dragon Walk series, we plan to reuse it and make some modifications to its main part so that it can easily adapt to the outer sky, and then be responsible for cleaning up the space junk that wraps the earth. Of course, this will be a fee-based service in the future, and at that time, all countries and institutions that have space navigation should pay for it, but it's not too much, right?

We have calculated that only about 100 of these extremely simple Longxing series spaceships will be able to clean up the garbage in the sky that envelops the earth in two years. At the same time, the Longxing series of spacecraft can also undertake the business of space tourism, and watch the International Space Station and satellites up close, and even touch the James Webb telescope.

In addition, we are also developing the Fengming series of civilian anti-gravity aircraft. This is a higher safety factor of anti-gravity aircraft, after all, it is more convenient to take off and land, and it will not even be affected by extreme weather and the wake of large aircraft, and its stability and some special physical characteristics can allow them to shuttle through the storm unscathed.

We can even install lasers on the fuselage to artificially attract lightning to create a visual feast of lightning guidance in the clouds and fog for the passengers on the ship. See, that's the power of technology. But what you're seeing and hearing right now isn't the point. Even the level of threat to you is not high. What is really scary is what you can't see! ”

Hearing Ning Xiao's last words, Tim Cook, who had been so shocked that he didn't know what to say, subconsciously asked, "What can't you see?" ”

Ning Xiao picked up the kitten who was lying on the ground as if he was bored and yawning like stealth, and then held the kitten and shook it in front of the inexplicable Tim Cook's eyes, before replying with a smile: "It's artificial intelligence!" You still don't know what artificial intelligence is, or even what is happening. Even if it's a top-secret network.

You may not believe it, but in my opinion C5ISR is a joke. Is it really that efficient and secure to communicate with haipe devices? Even if three systems are completely isolated from each other in terms of hardware, can they really achieve complete confidentiality of communication? You may not believe it, but as long as there is a network key exchange step, all encryption in front of artificial intelligence is a joke. So know what their biggest blunder was? ”

Tim Cook took a deep breath, looked out the window at the toy that made him speechless, and asked cooperatively, "What is it?" ”

Ning Xiao looked at Cook, hugged the kitten, and said seriously: "The Mathematicians Conference was in Rio that year, and I shouldn't have been allowed to return to Huaxia alive." It's too late now, even if I'm dead, it's useless. Believe it or not, everything is laid out. The world will run according to the program that has been designed, and will not accept opposition of any kind. The only way out is to give up the petty profits in front of you and look at the resources beyond the earth, and any decision that goes against this process will be pressed to death. ”

Silence, or silence.

Ning Xiao didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, and after a while, the huge hull outside the window moved again, first slowly retreating, then rising a little, and then turning around again, re-arriving at the previous base, and then began to land.

When it was firmly suspended in the ground, the lawn moved again, raised it, and then closed it.

When everything calmed down, Tim Cook saw that the base crew had begun to trim the joints of the lawn, and soon everything was back to its original state, as if nothing had just happened.

"If you need to, when you go back, you can ask Director Zhuo for some videos of the daily tests in the base, as I said just now, there are actually no secrets here, those real secrets, you can't touch them. And don't be clever, Youwei Group and us are only the simplest technical cooperation, what you can't see, they can't touch either. ”
