Dubonle couldn't remember the last time he was asked if he had a brain. After all, few people can clearly remember what happened thirty or forty years ago.

But at the moment, he didn't bother to care about it.

In fact, he was really frightened by Ning Xiao's idea at the moment, and a thought came to his mind at this moment......

This young man in front of him, does he really want to be a god?!

Fortunately, as a mature elder, Du Pont quickly turned his thinking to the pros and cons analysis.

If Ning Xiao's words came from his true thoughts, then the huge benefits contained in them were astronomical to ordinary people like him.

Think about it, if the Martian environment is successfully modified, it means that mankind will have a habitable planet that can accommodate at least two billion people. Not to mention that this is a complete planet, and it is a planet that has existed for tens of billions of years, and it must be rich in mineral deposits.

Even if these DuPont Le don't care, such a blank enclave planet, after the completion of human colonization, will become a large market with two billion people. Not to mention the need for human migration, the need to build cities, the need to reclaim farmland, the need to build roads, all kinds of huge infrastructure projects, industrial and agricultural systems, and financial markets......

Ning Xiao didn't care about the benefits of a planet, but he really cared. Not only did he care, but he also roughly calculated the huge yield in an instant, and then suddenly understood the reason why Nissen Mountbatten was so desperate.

If what Ning Xiao said was true......

Well, he leaned to what Ning Xiao said was true.

Because, as the young man said just now, he really doesn't care about the material comforts of the world, which are supported by intelligence.

A proper trillionaire, the most expensive set of clothes is less than 1,000 dollars, and his daily whereabouts are almost the same as school, laboratory and home, not only has a wife, but also has only one. Even the pet is a Chinese pastoral cat.

The most incomprehensible thing is that the biggest monthly expenses of such a family with a lot of private property are cat food and canned cat food, about 2,000 yuan......

The only extravagant place in life is probably to book a special chef who is said to be Huaxia to charter the Ningyuan canteen.

Just such a hobby is simply outrageous in Dubon's opinion.

Although he didn't want to admit it, no matter what such a person said, Du Pontle felt that he could be trusted, at least until he broke his promise.

If that's the case, there's a lot to be done.

The benefits of a habitable planet are enough to drive countless people crazy.

As for whether it can really be realized, this is a gambling investment.

For those who stand at the top of the pyramid, there are many such gambling experiences in life. The trade-off is nothing more than whether the price of serving at the table can be afforded.

Not to mention that this time the situation is special, and even the benefits have been prepared before the table.

That's a few decades of life......

It may have been slow to say, but the trade-off between the pros and cons was only in Dupontle's mind for a few seconds at most, and he had an answer.

This time, it's really worth the bet.

The bet was right, the family continued to stretch for centuries, and he was even able to witness the Dupontle family glory again, and the gamble was lost...... At least he can enjoy the life of a billionaire for decades.

As for the rest......

It's all about this time, who cares about the rest?

History has proven countless times that everyone in this world takes turns to sit in the bank. It is only a historical law that it will be together after a long time, and it will decline after prosperity. Not to mention that this time he is standing on the general righteousness of the overall advancement of human civilization......

What's more

Yes, having made up his mind, the old gentleman had already habitually begun to make excuses for his choice in his mind. This set of ancestral craftsmanship that occupies the moral high ground must not be lost at any time.

So when he spoke again, Mr. Dupont was obviously much calmer, even if he had just been scolded for being brainless.

"I understand, Academician Ning, I already have a preliminary idea. I have to say that my friends and I are also very interested in the project of transforming the planet. I think this long-term solution is simply ready-made. If you can, you can draw up a list of resources that you will need for the Planet Transformation project, and I will use my negligible influence and financial resources to help you get enough resources to support this ambitious civilization expansion project at the lowest cost, what do you think? ”

Ning Xiao glanced at the old man beside him and smiled: "Ha, Mr. Du Ponle, I'm sorry for the wording just now. Not only do you have brains, but you also spin very quickly, or you can recover them very quickly. From my point of view, it's a good idea, and it's eye-catching. If you can do that, we will indeed be very connected in the future.

Of course, I am a person who pays attention to what I give, and I will get something. If the cooperation is successful in the future, and this project can be successful, I can help you and your friends tailor three sets of planet modification solutions. And you don't have to worry about finding the right star, I can help you list the specific indicators that can be modified for the planet, and I can also guide your assigned scholars to learn how to choose the right star.

Well, this commitment of mine can be written into any published cooperation agreement. To ensure that I will not under any circumstances reverse my promise to you today. Sure enough, it is not a fluke that some people can succeed, and I wish us a happy cooperation in advance. ”

Du Pont Le nodded and said, "I believe that we will have a good cooperation." ”

Ning Xiao smiled and said, "A preliminary verbal agreement has been reached, according to your tradition, it should be celebrated, but unfortunately there is nothing here." Luckily, I've prepared another way to celebrate, huh...... It's almost time, and you see, that's where you're from. ”

As he spoke, Ning Xiao pointed to the blue planet under his feet.

I have to say that the earth from this perspective is indeed charming, quietly suspended there, with a touching beauty.

As Ning Xiao said, at this time, the Wu Gang had already come to the sky near North America, and if he studied geography well, he could already distinguish the appearance of that continent. The only pity is that because of the curvature of the sphere, the continent of North America can only see the part of the coastline.

"Hmm...... I can recognize the location of Washington State, where I was born in Washington. It should be Washington. Dupont nodded in agreement.

Elite education is no joke, there are many people in the Western world who can't read maps, and even more people who don't know much about geography. But it's definitely not the people who stand at the top.

At this time, a gentle prompt sound came from the room: "Academician Ning, the reporter Cao who made an appointment with you to do a simple interview is here." ”

……

When Cao Zhe walked into the watchtower with the photographer, they were both shocked.

"If you like this picture, you can install a set of this equipment at home in the future, and then bind it to Wu Gang, and synchronize the picture through satellite transmission, I believe you will feel bored in a few days." Ning Xiao said with a smile.

In fact, the charm of science and technology is like this, it can always give people an incredible shock and emotion at the first glance, and now the shock is just because such a picture is difficult to see, of course, after getting used to it, it will be like that.

Then, without waiting for the two to make a speech, he opened his mouth and introduced: "By the way, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Du Pontle." Mr. Du Pontle, this is the reporter Cao Zhe from NBC who is in charge of today's live broadcast mission, and I believe you will become friends too. ”

"Hello, Mr. Dupontle!" For Cao Zhe, this was definitely an unexpected surprise, and he hurriedly greeted him.

Du Pont nodded kindly at the little reporter.

Now that he has decided to cooperate, Dupont Le has also let go of his mind.

He knew that Ning Xiao had a careful idea in arranging a short interview, or even a live interview, which was nothing more than tying this chain more intuitively, which might make him more stressed, but so what? Anyway, the decision has been made.

As Ning Xiao said, he is not the old man who is about to retire in his humble tone.

The pressure after bondage is not unbearable.

Naturally, his buddies knew how to explain it for him. Obviously, the old man still underestimated Ning Xiao's imagination.

……

"Academician Ning, can we start? Is Mr. Dupont with you? ”

After the greetings, Cao Zhe said excitedly.

Everything that happened today was amazing to him.

Not only was he invited to participate in the live broadcast of Wu Gang's take-off today, but he also submitted a request for a simple interview with Ning Xiao today, and the application was approved.

It was an absolute surprise.

You must know that he specifically begged Chen Luo for this matter.

This guy didn't dare to agree to him as a student of Ning Xiao's admiration. So Cao Zhe just had the intention of completing the task, and he meant it for a while, but who would have thought that he would succeed.

Although it was late at night in North America at this time, the ratings might not be very high. But in any case, he may be the only reporter who can have a face-to-face conversation with Ning Xiao on this special day today, not only that, but today it seems that he will take one free and one and take a big old man who is full of promises.

For his profession, this is a qualification that can be bragged about, and maybe he will become a celebrity with this interview.

"Well, I'm ready, I guess Mr. Dupont wouldn't mind coming with me for this little interview, would he?"

Dupont nodded implicitly again.

Although he doesn't mind reaching a cooperative relationship with Ning Xiao with clear priorities, he doesn't want to be so obvious in front of the camera.

】

“ok！”

Cao Zhe gestured to the cameraman, signaled that everything was ready, switched the signal and then began his performance: "Dear audience and friends, I am honored to be invited to the watchtower of Wu Gang at this time.

And on this special day and in this special place today, we were also allowed to interview the designer of the first spacecraft of mankind, the winner of Fields, the Nobel Prize and many other awards, Academician Ning Xiao and our Mr. Dupontle. Now we will ask Academician Ning Xiao on some questions. ”

"Academician Ning, we all very much want to know about ......"

"Well, actually, I think we can change the form of interview today, I've seen the questions you submitted, and there is not much new. As a gift or as a celebration, I would like to celebrate this special day in a newer and more beautiful way. ”

"Uh...... Then please say. ”

Cao Zhe's brain couldn't turn around, and this rhythm seemed a little wrong. Not what he's good at.

Obviously, the old man next to Ning Xiao is much more sensitive, and his expression has changed from relaxed to serious.

"Let's start with a shot of the earth beneath our feet, and I'm sure you'll already know that we're on top of a beautiful continent, which is also Mr. Dupontle's hometown, although there are some areas where the clouds are thicker. But it still can't hide the beauty of this land.

It made me want to have a halfway round interaction with Mr. Dupont in the presence of NBC to show our friendship, and I believe it will go down in history. So Mr. Dupontle, do you agree? ”

Ning Xiao turned his head sideways, and his handsome face had a gentle, spring-like smile.

"Sounds interesting, but can I know the rules of this interaction first?"

"It's actually very simple, there is a high-precision light guide equipment on the Wu Gang, which also means that we can emit a harmless light from the Wu Gang to illuminate a certain building for light interaction. Hopefully, when our light shines down, the building can turn off the lights for a minute and respond tacitly. It's up to you to choose which building to illuminate, and I'm sure you're also interested in this kind of atmospheric interaction, right? ”

Suddenly, Cao Zhe suddenly felt that something was not right.

But this time it doesn't rely on his sensitivity as a reporter, but on his ability to read words and colors.

He could clearly see that when Ning Xiao's words fell, Old Mr. Du Poonle's expression became more serious, even solemn.

"Hmmm......"

"Positive interactions."

"So can you pick one of my properties in Washington?"

"Of course, Mr. Dupontle, according to the rules, any building will do. But I thought you could have a more creative choice. After all, the city has many well-known and special buildings to choose from. If it's just your estate, you'll need to provide an address so we can locate it.

It will take some time, by the way, reporter Cao, can you contact your colleague in Washington to go to the address given by Dupont to witness this monumental interaction? ”

"Uh...... I called. When Cao Zhe subconsciously wanted to find a phone, he suddenly reacted: "Wait, no need, they should be watching this show now, I believe that those colleagues of mine are ready, maybe they have already set off." ”

"That's good......"

Ning Xiao nodded, then looked at the old man beside him, smiled, and said, "Then Mr. Du Ponle, you can announce the address...... It's a pity, you could have experienced my feelings, in fact, invincible is not only not lonely, but also very happy. ”
