In a luxurious house in Washington State, USA, an important meeting is underway.

There were only thirteen clerks in the conference room, not counting the clerks who were in charge of keeping their heads down, and it was probably a high-end meeting from the lavish decoration and furnishings without any modern facilities in the conference room.

Of course, it can also be seen by the age of the participants and the way they are dressed.

In fact, modern suits and leather shoes have been much simplified compared to the decorated services of the aristocracy in the past, but in fact, they all have something in common, that is, some clothes are not worn by people who often work at first glance. In other words, the aristocracy always has a way to separate them from the lower laborers in the most intuitive way.

Even a tailor-made suit can't be comfortably used in the fields to farm, graze on the grassland, or screw in the factory, for the simple reason that it really can't be used. It's like the clothes of luxury brands are not recommended for users to wash, which are not only expensive, but also disposable, which can show their status.

The real aristocracy never deliberately takes care of those extravagant clothes and bags, and if they are old, they just throw them away.

Experienced people can see at a glance that the people in the conference room at this time probably have this kind of financial resources. Even if you don't see any traces of the brand on the clothes at all.

There were no electronic devices in the conference room, so the thirteen people were silently looking down at the paper materials that had just been handed out by the clerk. The red stamps with tial and TOP-sret on the erected cover of the material indicate the level of secrecy of the material being read.

After a while, the middle-aged man sitting in the center of the conference room put down the information, closed his eyes and stabilized his emotions for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Okay, everyone, I believe everyone has understood the current situation. The Chinese Wu Gang has been floating over the capital for a whole month and a half, but we can only get some pictures and videos taken from the periphery. So far, there has been no news from any of the insiders.

Of course, this is also to be expected. However, through the commission of the Pentagon, a more complete analysis report was obtained. I know these analytical reports are not good news for us. I know that you are used to things like we once had the most powerful technology and military power in the world, we had a well-established and powerful protection network externally, and we had security arrangements internally.

But whether you want to admit it or not, we've been defeated since the day AI came along, and we've been defeated very completely, that's the reality. When the Wu Gang was unveiled last month, it also marked that some concepts and ideas must be turned. When Wu Gang took off, it meant that there were more possibilities for the development of civilization in this world. If we compare space to the sea, it means a temporary compromise, which will be exchanged for greater room for development.

It's not my decision, it's the result of analysis. Of course, if any of you disagree, you can raise it now. We can discuss it again and submit it in a document. But no matter what the conclusion is, we must first reach a consensus before we can implement it. This is very important. If we continue to divide on this matter, then there will be a very funny scene in the near future, and I am sure that no one here wants to see that happen."

When the words fell, most of the people swept their eyes over the clerk who was immersed in shorthand, and then remained silent, and no one said anything.

Probably because the information I just read hit everyone quite hard, but at this time it's actually very troublesome, and it's possible to say anything wrong, so it's better to be silent.

There are decisions that everyone knows are absolutely right in some situation, but if they are spoken, they may come true at some point later. If you don't have a certain status, staying silent is often the best protection for yourself, and of course you may be thinking or hesitating.

But the one sitting at the top obviously didn't want to give these people too much time to brew their emotions, so he put one hand on the heavy conference table and began to tap lightly according to a certain rhythm, about five minutes at most, and the clerk on the scene had already stopped the pen in his hand, and after waiting for a long time, he also spoke again.

"Okay, it seems that no one disagrees with my opinion, so so be it, the materials you just saw will be submitted as they are, and they will be the next ones

For a long time, we have been dealing with the programmatic documents of our relations with China, and if you agree to it now, please raise your hand."

Soon seven hands were raised scattered in the conference room, and just as some people were hesitating, the person sitting in the main seat simply announced, "Okay, more than half of the people have agreed, so it's decided." Thank you, and we adjourn the meeting."

At the end of the meeting, the participants left the venue in an orderly manner. Obviously, no one had much to talk about the content of the meeting, so no one got together to talk about it when they left. The same goes for the person presiding over the meeting.

And as soon as he walked out of the conference room, he left the elevator in a different direction, came to the elevator, walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the seventh floor.

The conference room just now was on the sixth floor, just one floor up, I got out of the elevator, walked back to the old way before, and then pushed the door and walked into another conference room. This conference room is upstairs where he presided over the meeting just now, not only the interior layout is similar, but even the decoration is similar to the heavy conference table.

But there were fewer people in there at this time. But there are many familiar faces.

For example, the honorable Mr. Dupontle, Rep. Neeson Mountbatten from Texas, Obott Relo, who is already in a high position in NBC, Stephen Schwartz of the Blackstone Group, and so on.

In addition to them, there were many gray-haired old men around Monsieur Duponle, and although many of the features indicated that their best years had passed away, they seemed to be in good spirits.

There seems to be a clear gap between the two sides, with the elderly mostly gathered around Dupontler, Nissen Mountbatten and Obote Relo in a small group, and Stephen Schwartz and a few of his friends sitting in the middle.

After the middle-aged man walked into the room, all eyes were naturally focused on him.

"Alright, everyone, the proposal has passed. It went very well." The middle-aged man gave a result very succinctly.

Obviously, this was good news, but everyone in the room was reserved enough that at least no one celebrated. However, most eyes were on Neeson Mountbatten this time, and the expressive congressman stood up at this moment, smiled at everyone, then bowed, saluted, and finally straightened his waist, the whole person looked particularly tall.

"Distinguished gentlemen, all those who have contributed to this great process will be invited to participate in the lifting ceremony of the Wu Gang, which will be a day that will be remembered forever by our history and civilization, and it will be our honor to participate in this grand event, and at the same time, in the course of this grand event, this great transaction will also be completed."

Nissen Mountbatten's words fell, and there was no enthusiastic reaction in the room, on the contrary, there was a brief silence.

Maybe everyone was so moved that they didn't know what to say for a while. At least that's what Nissen Mountbatten thought. After all, these people in front of him will be his help in the future. His gaze had gone beyond the wealth that the families of these people had accumulated over hundreds of years of their eyes, as he had already set his sights on the distant sea of stars under the guidance of God.

As long as he has a starship in the future, and with the fanatical followers of the Cult of Light, he may have the resources of several planets.

In order to achieve the unparalleled glory of the Mountbatten family in the future, he has specifically learned that there are 1.2 million stars in the entire solar system. Although 99 percent of them are small stars, many of them are rich in resources.

As long as they can seize the opportunity, it is enough for the Mountbatten family to complete the original accumulation of becoming space nobles.

And he, Nissen Mountbatten, will be the ancestor of a new generation of aristocracy, and his statue will be in the family estate for all posterity to see.

Most importantly, when he accepts God's gift, he will have enough time to accomplish this great goal, and just thinking about it will make his heart flutter.

It's the best of times......

Of course, this is not necessarily the case for those who have listened to the news. After all, most of them are averse to uncontrollable change.

……

Huaxia, a large-scale scientific research base of Yanbei Space Exploration Institute.

Chen Luo has been very comfortable these days

。

Not only because Cao Zhe is a reporter who is very easy to get along with, but also because his authority in the base seems to have temporarily become higher. More specifically, some places he couldn't go to before, but now he can go. For example, the experimental center on the basement floor of the experimental group building. Although only a portion of the area is open to him, it's a map he hasn't been able to open before.

In particular, he witnessed an automated assembly line for an N1 robot, which was a truly shocking scene.

First, a pair of mechanical feet rotated back and forth on the mechanical arm to be assembled, and then it was placed on the assembly line, and countless mechanical arms began to piece together the entire upper body like stacked blocks, and then the mechanical legs walked down the assembly line with fixed steps, and began to move forward step by step, staying under each mechanical arm for a while, and then watching the body torso being assembled, and then to the head, and finally installing the two arms that had been prepared for a long time, and an N1 robot was assembled.

Chen Luo took Cao Zhe to shoot a complete set of assembly processes, which took a total of 5 hours and 23 minutes.

Although the pre-assembly process of many parts is not here, even the final assembly process is full of the beauty of modern mechanical civilization. Chen Luo also heard the words "great" and "incredible" from Cao Zhe beside him countless times.

This made Chen Luo very proud.

That's what the base should be.

It's not just the big guy suspended in the sky, but also these digital intelligent automation technologies that seem to be unsurpassable at present.

Although in order to complete the assembly process of the N1 robot, they missed the time for Chinese food perfectly, but Chen Luo felt that it was worth it, and that hunger was almost negligible compared to mental satisfaction, after all, the latter was priceless.

It wasn't until the newly produced N1 robot left on its own for quality control testing that Chen Luo took Cao Zhe and the photojournalist to leave the underground robot assembly line.

As soon as he came to the ground, Chen Luo was about to show the image of a hospitable Chinese person, but was stopped by someone.

"Chen Luo, Director Zhuo told you to go to his office now."

Director Zhuo is naturally Zhuo Mingqian.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the administrative system on this side of the base has no sense of existence, and most of the time it is to do some service work for the scientists in the base, but Zhuo Mingqian is an exception, and it is the only exception, even if you really want to say that in terms of administrative sequence, he can't even rank in the top three.

The reason is simple, he is the only director in the base's administrative sequence system who can advise on the allocation of contribution points.

However, the contribution point is the most important for everyone in the base.

Even the money that everyone likes is not as important as it is here. This also makes Zhuo Mingqian's status transcendent here. Although he is only a deputy director, he is more useful than a serious leader.

Even Chen Luo, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, heard the news and immediately said hello to Cao Zhe beside him, and rushed towards the No. 1 experimental building with a puff of smoke. In fact, he is not very familiar with Director Zhuo, but according to legend, this Director Zhuo belongs to the type of smiling tiger, very yin.

Although he always smiles on his face, he will not hesitate at all when he is ruthless.

Many great scientists have been planted in his hands, and the complaints against Director Zhuo have always been the most, but he can stay in the position of director well, which is enough to explain many things. So although Chen Luo theoretically said that he would be Ning Xiao's student in the future, he could not care too much about Zhuo Mingqian, but after all, this matter has not been officially determined.

So Chen Luo really didn't dare to offend the deputy director of the base at this time, what if this guy slandered him in front of Dean Ning and replaced him? They are all smart people and do not make mistakes in the direction of such details.

Coming to the door of Zhuo Mingqian's office, Chen Luo knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

"Director Zhuo, I'm here."

"Oh, Chen Luo, sit down, sit down, what do you drink?"

"Uh...... Is there a Coke?"

"Haha, I know you young people like to drink this kind of thing, you have all of them, you have them."

Okay, Chen Luo is almost sure, Lord Zhuo

Ren is really a smiling tiger.

Because soon, the director had already handed Chen Luo a bottle of fresh Coke, still cold.

"Chen Luo, you may not know yet, you are the first student that our Academician Ning has basically confirmed, do you know what this means?"

"Uh...... What does that mean?" Chen Luo looked at Zhuo Mingqian blankly, he really didn't know what this meant.

[In view of the general environment,

"In ancient times, then you are the senior brother of Academician Ning in the future! All the responsibilities you have to take on, you know?" Zhuo Mingqian said earnestly.

The mountain-like pressure instantly pressed on Chen Luo, and Chen Luo, who was holding the Coke, subconsciously asked, "Director Zhuo, what do you mean?"
