Olg Harvey Dupont is very clear about his position at this time, that is, to cooperate with Ning Xiao to complete the process of this "show".

Life needs to be contrasted in order to have a sense of accomplishment.

Under what circumstances can a person who has just earned 100,000 a month feel that he has reached the peak of his life? Of course, it's when you brag with a group of people who earn thousands of dollars a month.

If everyone around is a monthly income of 100,000 plus, then the coolness brought by this achievement will naturally plummet.

In this sense, Dupont understands human nature.

All he needs to do now is express his admiration at the right time.

Of course, this is not a very embarrassing thing, just act in your true colors.

Because what is shown today is not only something he has never experienced, but it is even hard to imagine.

……

"Big is just one of its characteristics, and for a space research ship that has been in space for a long time, safety is the most important thing. We have done a lot of tests on its structure and materials in the laboratory, and through calculations and simulations, Wu Gang can theoretically withstand the shock wave generated by the explosion of a 10 million ton yield nuclear bomb about five kilometers away from the spacecraft.

Unfortunately, these are the results of computer simulations, but I'd like to try them. I heard that the MK36 is probably this equivalent, and we are about to approach North America, if you have enough face, maybe you can try it? ”

Ning Xiao rubbed one hand on the kitten's head and asked naturally.

This question makes the old man who is ready to hold it stuck.

He really couldn't tell what Ning Xiao meant.

He had read too much information about Ning Xiao before, as well as the psychological profiles and extremely detailed analyses made by cutting-edge psychologists for Ning Xiao, but at this time, these analyses had the opposite effect. He couldn't even hold whether Ning Xiao's request was serious, or a casual joke.

Because in the analysis, the madness factor in Ning Xiao's personality is very strong. This kind of character is like the mad scientists in many film and television dramas, while chasing science madly, they may also have some self-destructive tendencies.

He even remembered the psychologist's sentiment: "Genius syndrome, Satan's curse on the best human beings." ”

It is said that the trigger for the onset of this disease is the great achievements of this group of people, who have been unable to find their social positioning and pursuit of the future, so they begin to close themselves off at the psychological level, indulge in a small world of complete self, and may even have a melancholy of intense pain in their hearts, and then they do not want to live.

At least in Dubonle's opinion, Ning Xiao's achievements were enough for him to get sick, so he was even more cautious in his answer.

"This ...... I'm afraid I don't have that much face, you should know, I'm just an old man who is about to retire. ”

"Haha, Mr. Dupontle, you are too modest. The whole world knows your energy, and while it's a bit of a problem, it's not impossible if you really ask. ”

"It seems that there must be some misunderstanding in the middle, you underestimate your ability and overestimate my influence. Why don't we talk about something more constructive? Dupont cautiously began to change the subject.

The issue of equivalence continued to be discussed, and he was afraid that the other party would really miscalculate.

"It's a pity, it seems that you misunderstood me, but it was just a very sincere offer. I also reacted to the above through the official channels of the base, hoping to try it on this day to see the effect of the Wu Gang's defensive performance, but it was directly denied, which is very embarrassing to say. So I wonder if there's a way on your end. If you want to or not, forget it, let's talk about something else. ”

Ning Xiao said with a smile.

It's not a lie, it's just that the application was submitted by March Cutie. As for which step was vetoed, Ning Xiao didn't know very well, and he didn't care about it.

"On a day with the theme of the celebration, it's better to be cautious."

"It seems that you don't know much about Chinese traditions, and the grander the celebration, the more brilliant fireworks you have to use. Forget it, I said I had to talk about something else. The acquisition of NB was done very well, and I know that you and your friends have been instrumental in it, and I am very grateful. Of course, I've already prepared some of the rewards I've said before. Instructions for use included. ”

Du Pont was stunned, the topic turned a little quickly, even stiffly.

Suddenly, the young man in front of him began to become empathetic.

Changeable personality?

Soon the old man subconsciously replied, "Well, thank you very much for the gift." ”

"No, no, no, Mr. Dupontle, this is not a gift, it's a deal. We can't mix too many emotional factors when talking about business, which will make business no longer pure. At this time, I need to maintain my reputation, and you need more time to think about life, a perfect win-win. ”

"Yes, it's a nice win-win."

"But there's a catch."

"Hmmm......"

"I don't know if Nissen has told you that this technology is mainly composed of two parts, one is an embedded biochip, which is mainly a computing function, which is responsible for calculating and comparing various body standards in the best physical state of an individual.

The other part is the nanobot part, which is mainly responsible for information collection and repair, and through these nanobots to achieve part of the body's immune function and monitor the health status of the human body from the cell layer. At the same time, it can also improve human health more accurately. It can even replace some cellular functions, such as replacing red blood cells to transport oxygen in the case of excessive blood loss.

The former is a one-time dose for lifelong use, but the latter is a consumable material. Under normal circumstances, after the first use, the nanobot will be consumed according to the individual's health condition at that time, so it is recommended to replenish it the following year. After that, just replenish it once every two years.

However, in the event of an accidental injury to the body, a large amount of replenishment is required at any time. As per our previous transaction, it was a one-time transaction. In other words, there will be supporting biochips and nanorobots used in the first year, so have you thought about how to obtain the nanorobots you need in the future? ”

Ning Xiao introduced and stated a fact in a very relaxed tone.

The old man was stunned......

Nison Mountbatten never mentioned it.

In other words, is this a living deal that wants to make what he thinks a hammer deal into a long-term deal?

It's a little bit bigger.

Suddenly, he probably understood why Nethan Mountbatten was coming over to him on the boat today to say that. Is it to make him feel better at this moment?

"I always thought that by helping them do that, we would get enough ...... Well, enough product. ”

"It seems that there is a real misunderstanding. You know this is a new technology, and the current production of the same nanobot is simply not enough to support that amount at one time. Even if I agree with your conditions, without any constraints, do you really have confidence that I will supply you with this nanobot on time and in quantity for the next fifty years? ”

Du Pont looked at Ning Xiao and fell silent.

Everyone is a smart person, and it is not necessary for him to praise the other party's credibility at this time. Without any interest involved, stretching a deal to be completed in fifty years, let alone believing in Ning Xiao, if it is the party who wants to continue to pay, Du Pont Le can't even believe that he can keep his promise.

"Academician Ning, I have always respected you very much, so I think you already have an idea when you came to me to talk about this topic, right?"

"I thought you had it figured out, too. In fact, there is no such thing as a good way, unless it can make the interests between us long-term and close. That way you can have confidence in me, and I'm motivated to keep your products supplied, and even give you some emergency backup once production catches up. What do you think? ”

Du Pont nodded calmly, there was no need to play any tricks in front of smart people.

In fact, there is another way, which is to directly tie up Ning Xiao. But this solution is obviously not on the table now, and if he had the ability, he would not be here today.

"You're right, Ning, this is indeed the best way to go. I'm sure you already have a complete plan, right? Just take it out. I don't think there's any need to keep trying between us. ”

"No, no, Mr. Dupontle, you are mistaken. I didn't test you, and I didn't have a complete plan. What I mean is that this plan should be there, but not for me, but for you. I will hand you and your friends with everything you and your friends need after today's lift-up ceremony, as agreed before. But the follow-up cooperation plan, after you think about it, hand it over to me, and then I will judge whether to continue trading with you, understand? Mr. Dubonle. ”

Du Pont Le was completely stunned, of course he understood what Ning Xiao meant. He wanted to ask how someone could be so shameless, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say it.

Today is the first time he has met Ning Xiao, and he can't tear his face so that there is no room for recovery between the two parties.

So both of them looked at the earth beneath their feet.

"I guess if we had given a plan of simply paying for the annual need for nanobots, you would definitely not agree to continue working together." It took a long time for Du Pont to squeeze out this sentence.

Ning Xiao nodded and replied approvingly, "Well, indeed." At present, funding still makes some sense for the base. But in a few years, when our second- and third-generation spacecraft are launched and the moon base is successfully built, simple money will be meaningless. At that time, the space bonds issued by the base may be stronger than pure currency.

This is the case with a 50-year transaction, where there are too many unknowns when it comes to anchoring value. This requires a team with long-term vision, great wisdom to see the future clearly, and to propose constructive conditions that can be accepted by both parties to achieve a long-term relationship. ”

Du Poonle looked up at Ning Xiao and said, "There is no doubt that you have this great wisdom. ”

Ning Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "But I don't have time to figure out your careful thoughts." I don't really bother to think about your feelings, just go with my heart. I'll tell you the truth, it's a good feeling, and I've even started to empathize with what you've done.

I even really think you're doing a good job. Problems that could have been solved with a direct slap in the face, it's really rare that you have to concoct a bunch of reasons every time to maintain decency. But I'm different, I don't care about any of that. By the way, do you know the scholarly mindset? ”

Du Pont Le thought for a moment, then shook his head solemnly.

Ning Xiao explained with a smile: "Don't be so serious, it's just a kind of discussion. In my opinion, the scholarly mind is the obsession with the search for an answer to a question that transcends all the temptations of the world. For example, I want to get answers to some questions, and I'm always on the way to find answers to them.

So, for me, what material comforts, what to leave a name in history, these issues are not on my list. All I wanted in my life was to have these answers in my limited life. I can give up anything in order to get these answers. Whoever dares to make trouble for me on this road, I will make him and his friends disappear.

By the way, did you know that our Space Academy has a course called Planetary Environmental Modification? ”

Du Pont nodded honestly, although he understood that he had fallen into the rhythm of the young man's conversation, and was completely being carried away, but he was powerless to change anything. The experience of the struggle of the past could not help him at all at this moment.

"It will be implemented in five years, and the first stop is Mars. In the past, the idea was to create underground cities on Mars, or to create protective shields, to achieve planetary migration. But I don't think the same way, because I want to test the question of whether we can modify the planet at will.

In fact, all the energy of life on earth comes from the sun. To put it more simply, it's light. Light brings heat, which contributes to climate change, temperature pressure allows the atmosphere to flow, the earth's environment is pleasant, and under the cultivation of selective pressure, species survive the fittest, and finally achieve a near-perfect cycle.

Why can't Mars? Too far away? Not enough light? Why can't we add a sun to Mars? With just the right orbit to figure out, we can put a fusion device into orbit and have enough light on Mars. The atmosphere is too thin?

That's because Mars is a little smaller in size and mass, and gravity can't capture enough atmosphere, but as long as you change its angular velocity and accumulate various materials in it, such as driving meteor impacts, you can slowly change the state of the atmosphere and make it gradually move closer to Earth. Mars is short of water? Then send water up......

】

As long as we successfully transform a planet to make it similar to the Earth's environment, so that humans can live on Mars like on Earth, do you know what that means? ”

Dupont pondered for a moment, then replied tentatively, "Does it mean that humans can colonize any galaxy?" ”

Ning Xiao pursed his lips and said, "That's your thinking, or the thinking of ordinary people!" For me, if this project can be successful, it will only represent the verification that the earth's current pleasant environment can not be naturally formed, but can be artificially chiseled! This allows me to move on to the next topic, how the universe records civilizations!

I don't even care about what I can enjoy on Earth, do you think I'm the kind of person who cares if humans can colonize other galaxies? Where's your brain?! ”
