Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

If anyone besides the "knowledgeable" anxious for the fate of mankind jumps like thunder for the results of this research at the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies...

I'm afraid it's the executives and shareholders of Space-X and Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals.

Since the middle of last year, NASA has given them quite a bit of money to study cryo-dormant techniques, but just when they discovered that extracts of X-0172 bacteria had clinical properties to protect animal cells from “dangerous temperatures", the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies had created a complete set of cryo-dormant techniques...

California Silicon Valley headquarters, looking at the newspaper in hand, the expression on Musk's face was stiff and twitching.

New Breakthroughs in Cryodormant Technology, Endangerment Therapy or New Patterns for the Future!

He originally thought that if he tried to choose projects that were more dominant on his side or less interested in each other, he would avoid direct competition with astral technology to the extent possible, and the R&D power accumulated over more than a decade with SPACE-X would certainly not be so miserable.

However, he didn't even count. Someone around that guy actually had cancer, and he was in an untreatable late stage...

Damn it, why isn't he the one who gets cancer?!

However, no matter how much Musk curses in his heart, it is no use.

Now that cryo-dormant technology has been mastered by astral technology, no surprise, this time they can only follow Professor Lu's nasty ass. Behind the crotch, pick up the rest...

At this point, a knock came from the door.

Musk said to come in and saw his secretary walking in through the door.

“Mr. David Lawrence would like to make an appointment to meet you. ”

When he heard this, Musk stunned slightly, dropped the newspaper in his hand, and his expression became a little strange.

“Meet me? The oldest son of the Lawrence family? ”

The secretary nodded: "To be precise, the first son to succeed! You know, we've been trying to get funding for space projects, but those consortia don't like what we're doing. This is very rare... He looks forward to your meeting with him as CEO of Space-X. ”

“Of course I know who he is, and this does not require your reminder. Meet as CEO of Space-X…" After repeatedly chewing the second half of the sentence, Musk's face gradually emerged with a contemplative expression.

He obviously wasn't particularly convinced that David Lawrence would be interested in his SPACE-X, after all, he had already approached him more than once for this.

But as his secretary said, SPACE-X needs money, and it needs a lot of money. In this day and age, only money can sustain great dreams, and this meeting could be such an opportunity...

Even if the other party has not shown a great deal of good faith.

However, he still needed to give it a try.

After a moment of reflection, Musk said.

“Tell him I'm going to see him… by the way, when is the appointment? ”

Secretary: "This afternoon. ”

Musk's eyebrows twitched hard when he heard it, but he took a deep breath with restraint.

“… buy me a ticket to Boston, this afternoon. ”

The secretary nodded.

“Yes, sir. ”

Los Angeles flights to Boston take place several times a day, running all afternoon, and Musk finally arrived before 6 p.m. at an estate of the Boston Consortium located in the heart of the city - the agreed meeting place.

Walking into the conference room, looking at the man sitting quietly behind the conference table, Musk cleared his voice and was about to move out of the self-introduction and opening remarks that had been ready for a long time, but was first opened by the man.

“Welcome to Boston, Mr. Musk. I'm glad you accepted my invitation. Please sit down. ”

Though knowing that this cliché is not very sincere and not even passionate, it does make Musk's mind feel a little better.

Sitting before him is one of the most promising Lawrence family members of the Boston Consortium, one of the richest and most powerful individuals in Boston as a whole and in the United States as a whole, leaving aside his higher education in Princeton.

By contrast, although he is the president and chairman of Space-X and Tesla, if you really want to talk about wealth and influence, I'm afraid all he has is less than a hair on this man across the street.

This is not an exaggerated metaphor.

Even a little conservative.

“I heard you wanted to talk to me about the Space-X space program, and I came over," opened the topic with a simple opening remark, and Musk sent a compliment without a trace, "It's just too rare for a visionary and courageous person like you to be in this land of growing imagination. ”

I don't know if I can hear the compliment in that sentence, but David Lawrence just smiled slightly and continued.

“Yes, I'm really interested in your space program and I'm sure our future will be in a distant new world… but before we discuss the new world, I'd like to ask you an interesting question. I saw this question in the Boston Journal questionnaire. ”

“What's the problem?” Sitting right in the seat, Musk smiled and looked at him and said, "It must be an interesting question to interest you. ”

Without saying anything about this untouched compliment, David Lawrence smiled and suddenly said, “Would you like to go if you could go to the future? ”

The moment he heard the question, Musk was slightly stunned, apparently not expecting him to ask such a question that was not directly related to space.

At the same time, he seemed to feel that his problems were not sufficient, and David thought about it and added a sentence later, “provided, of course, that Space-X's shares and chairmanship were retained and that Space-X was not considered to have collapsed in the coming century. ”

Finally, the reaction came, Musk set his mind, thought seriously for about ten seconds, and then said.

“What good is it to send old antiques from the past to the future to finger and foot? Are 18th century economics theories used to solve the debt crisis of the 21st century? Or let him teach us how to develop the moon? On the contrary, nothing will happen. He will only change what we have so easily changed back. ”

“Besides, considering the right to inherit property, I see endless trouble, not a tiny bit of merit. ”

“This is, of course, in the interest of the entire Space-X Board. ”

“… so to speak. ”

After listening quietly to Musk, David nodded thoughtfully, but gave no opinion of his own.

Rationally, he was reluctant to go into the future without talking about the probability of not being able to wake up.

Without surprise, he should be the next chief of the Lawrence family. And if he went to the future, it would undoubtedly amount to self-exile, and no one could guarantee his future power, and at the same time he would have to face the animosity of the then matriarch at the moment of awakening.

The way to keep a family alive forever is undoubtedly still education.

But…

Personally, walking upright on the timeline does have a lot of temptation. Confusion.

This means not only that he will have the possibility of obtaining a longer life expectancy in the future, but also that he will have the possibility of fulfilling ambitions that would otherwise not have been possible due to life and time constraints.

Of course, there is tremendous resistance, both within and outside the family, to making this happen. But just lay it out ahead of time and weigh the risks...

The index finger rubbed against the armrest of the seat and David's eyes flashed slightly on the office chair.

Suddenly, he looked at Musk and said.

“How long will it take you to solve cryosleep technology? ”

Faced with this sudden problem, Musk subconsciously hesitated, but answered honestly: “I don't know… maybe five years, maybe longer… Cryodormant technology is just one of our projects with Johnson & Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals, not the focus of our development, and our business focus is still on thrust ships and life-support devices ——”

David interrupted him and didn't hesitate to say, "Now it's happening, and I'm going to put out a billion dollars to set up a fund to help you do it. ”

For a moment, Musk held his breath.

A billion!

Though this is nothing compared to Tesla's tens of billions of dollars in market value, the market value of this thing is virtual, you can't see it, you can't touch it. How can it compare to cash flow?

“I only have one request. It doesn't matter how much it costs. It's important to ensure the safety of the technology. Can it be done? ”

Musk hesitated to say: "Theoretically it is possible… In fact, we now have some technology that will ensure the safe conduct of cryosleep, but several key parts of it will take time to break through. ”

David smiled and said, "No problem, anyway... I'm not in a hurry. ”

Musk: "… may I ask you something? ”

David: “Ask. ”

Musk hesitated to ask: "Are you… going to the future? ”

“Not at the moment. ”

With a slight smile, David turned to his office chair and looked at the floor window behind him, leaving only one shadow for Musk.

Staring at his reflection on the floor window and a brilliant Boston night view behind that mirror, he suddenly whispered with a voice that only he could hear.

“But who says anything about the future? ”
