Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The purpose of Director Carson's visit to China is clear.

The first was to strengthen cooperation with the Chinese State in the space field, for example by talking about the rent for the use of the lunar mass accelerator, and the second was to buy time for the United States space industry.

However, the Chinese side did not seem to leave much room for him to negotiate, and the White House, although expecting much from his visit, was unable to provide him with more support.

The silence displayed by the White House on the issue of Guangdong City can already be seen.

Even with total reluctance, they still had to, or were forced to, compromise on many issues.

California's controllable fusion plants have dragged the entire west to pro-Hua camps, and perhaps the people of California are not so fond of Chinese culture and products, but at least they hope that the authorities will not offend the country, preferably forgetting them for the time being, as if they did not exist.

After all, Los Angeles' citizens have enjoyed clean and inexpensive fusion energy, and social development throughout the western region has re-entered the fast track.

Now let them go back to bad and expensive thermal and chemical energy, not to mention unacceptable to the vast majority of people.

This is what society is all about.

Always compatible only to the next stage.

If you go backwards… even a small step backwards can create a very serious problem.

If relations between the two sides deteriorated and the Chinese withdrew their experts and equipment, even if it was in the national interest of the United States, the consequences would be unacceptable to the people of California and to the citizens of the entire western region, and even more unacceptable to politicians looking to get votes from the people…

All in all, the meeting in Shanghai was quite smooth.

No matter how thunderous he gets in his office, no matter how cursed these competitors are when he meets on weekdays, Director Carson sits here gently acting like a sheep, humble and full of style, like a politician from a developed country.

This is actually very rare.

One can only show humility when confronted with the strong, and the arrogance that prevails in the eyes cannot be hidden when confronted with the weak, even if the rules of decency are adhered to.

At the end of the meeting, Director Li took a meeting memorandum to the office of the Presbyterian House and reported the meeting to the old man sitting behind the desk.

After listening quietly to his report, the old man's index finger lit a little on the table and said.

“I'll draw you a line, you can talk about it with this. ”

Director Li said respectfully.

“Go ahead. ”

“Economic cooperation is welcome and political compromises are discouraged. ”

Director Li nodded.

“I see. ”

Although it is a short sentence, the amount of information is not usually large.

Economic cooperation is welcome, meaning that the leasing of lunar quality accelerators can be talked about and that part of the excess capacity can be sold to international customers while meeting their own transport needs.

There is also the construction of public facilities in Guangdong City, the supply of living materials and consumer goods to the residents of Guangdong City, and the Chinese State does not intend to devour all of these markets. No one would refuse if they were able to provide better service at lower prices.

As far as political compromises are concerned, they are better understood.

In a simple sentence, honestly do business, make money together, don't say anything about Guangdong District, we can still be friends.

Old man: "Anything else? ”

Director Li: “One more thing. ”

“Go ahead. ”

“That Carson hopes to be able to bring back some moon soil from us… or meteorites from the moon as a symbol of our friendship. ”

When he heard it, the old man laughed and thought for a while, and said,

“The Alphabet is Peach, and I salute Lee. ”

“They gave us 1g lunar rock specimens before, and we had no reason to refuse such a request. You should go to the Moon Orbit Construction Committee later and say hello and let them pack a kilo of lunar soil. When that Carson leaves, just let him take it back. ”

“Also, remember to send him another message. ”

“The resources of the Moon belong to all mankind, not to the United States. No country has the right to possess it alone, but it has the right to develop and use it, and we welcome the participation of any country and organization in this quest for the future of humanity as a whole. ”

“As long as everything is within the framework of peace. ”

“As long as they understand the logic of asking for coexistence. ”

……

Golden Ring.

Jongshan International villa.

The ark in the study is playing with the new toys that we just got from the previous system mission.

It's a black bracelet with the same shape as most sports watches, even the LED screen embedded on the surface has the same design.

But intuition tells the Ark that the materials and technology that the screen applied were probably not available on Earth. In addition, there are five grooves on the side of this bracelet.

When his index finger touches the screen gently, five grooves pop out five black metal balls less than 10mm in diameter. These little balls move slowly under changing magnetic field traction and look amazing.

The ark tried to turn its hand over, or wave its arm, and the five black metal balls moved closely behind his arm, as if they had acknowledged the bracelet on his hand.

“It's kind of interesting...”

The ark tried to pinch one of the little balls with its left hand, pulling it away from the magnetic field above the ring, and then releasing its hand. Seeing that little ball was like being tethered by an invisible spring, and the moment he let go, he bounced back like a slingshot.

“An alien civilization toy? ”

The black metal sphere above the suspended palm of the hand is at the end, and the divine colour of interest is becoming more apparent in the eyes of the ark.

The system described it very vaguely and did not even give a specific name, but according to his approach, he had discovered some of the features of the bracelet.

For example, the most basic, like other sports bracelets, is capable of measuring heart rate and recording time.

Besides that, it also has one of the most important functions, which is to form a constantly changing electromagnetic field around the bracelet that can control the movement of small metal balls.

At the same time, there appears to be a special brainwave recognition device built into this bracelet that can identify the received nerve signals and manipulate the motion trajectory of those five black metal spheres in the air by converting them into magnetic field control units that are fed back into the bracelet after processing the electrical signals through the built-in chip.

In terms of effect, this phenomenon is very peculiar, as if it were magic. As to what it is used for, the ark is a little confused.

Actually, it's nothing more than that.

It's like an alien without long legs, and if you get a pair of a-cones from Earth, you just don't know what it's for.

The only thing the ship can now conclude is that the core materials used in this bracelet, the design of the electromagnets and the technology for controlling the magnetic field are far beyond the technical level available on Earth.

But at this point, he grabbed the ark of the bracelet and suddenly found a familiar sign inside it.

This symbol is a rare reminder that he has seen in a certain dream...

“Em. ”

A drone floating beside him flew in, dangling with a tiny TV.

Can I help you? Master. (✿P)]

Staring at the five metal balls floating in your hand, the ark pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anything in your database about this thing? ”

When this order was given, there was no hope in the heart of the Ark.

After all, he had asked similar questions countless times, but had not received any valuable answers.

The only thing he can now conclude is that Little Egg is probably the intelligent navigation program on that spaceship that Coke Civilization ended up sending to the center of the galaxy.

Unfortunately, however, the memory of the last universe, as if it had been removed from its entire database, leaves no valuable clue whatsoever ——

[Em's database seems to have some information on this thing. (๑ • ㅂ •)✧]

Ark: “…????? ”

At the beginning, the ship thought it was wrong.

It was not until he reconfirmed this line of text on the little TV that he came back to God and immediately asked.

“Get the information on it out, all of it! ”

[I'll go find… (๑ • ㅂ •)✧]

Very rarely, this time Egg disappeared a little longer.

Just when the Ark suspected it was a dead end or ran off to play games, the light blue text finally appeared on the little TV.

[Strange... there are obvious traces left in the cache, but it seems to have been deleted... si (° △ ° |||) si]

[All in all, it seemed like a weapon, and it used to belong to an officer who seemed pretty good. (_;)

Ark: “…? ”

What the hell is it anyway?!

But it was another thing that surprised him.

If it wasn't for Em's expression, it probably would have found that there seemed to be some kind of trace of something being removed in her memory.

But then again, does artificial intelligence really exist as a “memory” thing? And this memory thing, can it exist separately from the hardware?

Just as the Ark was thinking about it, another line of text appeared on the little TV.

[Why don't you give it a try, master, use your imagination or something... and fire it in some direction? (° - ° ")]

Imagination?

Weapons?

Launch?

Staring at the five metal balls wrapped around the palm of his hand, the ark was caught in contemplation.

All of a sudden, his heart moved, like something in mind, and he quickly looked over at the vase by the wall.

“If it's a weapon...”

Focus gradually toward the flower pot, although knowing that you may look a bit like this, it doesn't matter if you think there are no other people in the study.

The heart rate index on his wrist began to change, wondering if it was the delusion of an ark, and he felt the five metal balls floating above his palm begin to tremble gently.

For a moment, it was as if a trigger had been pulled.

The vast rear force climbed onto his wrist and small arm, and the ark had never returned to God. The vase he was staring at exploded in pieces.

Like…

Shot by a bullet, like,

Meanwhile, one metal ball floating on the palm is missing.

Looking at the deep bullet hole left on the wall, the eyes of the ark finally floated once.

“Magnetic slingshot? ”

Or something like that.

After all, he didn't know what to call it, and the only thing he could conclude was that there was probably some kind of special controlled electromagnet installed inside this metal sphere, and when he “gave the order to attack," the electricity stored in the energy vessel was instantly released and converted into a magnetic field that was repulsive of the bracelet.

The whole ball was like a bullet placed on a slingshot and was ejected instantly.

In principle, it's just a simple thing, but it actually sounds pretty daunting.

What kind of electrically charged magnet can make a 10mm larger metal ball fire like a bullet? Not to mention, being able to integrate electromagnets and control chips into small spheres no larger than 10mm in diameter is an extremely difficult thing in itself.

At least the rear seating ark coming from the wrist can feel the magnetic field driving this thing, I'm afraid.

The pieces of glass staring at the corner of the wall fell into contemplation, and the ark pondered for a while before speaking.

“… clean this place up. ”

Em: [OK, master ~]

Have a chance to study the structure.

For this [sample], which is too much beyond the level of Earth's technology, the Ark does not expect to be able to restore all the technology from it through reverse engineering, replicating an identical piece of cottage in the real world.

However, with reference to some of these designs, it is not possible to say how much inspiration can be given to science on Earth.

For example, more advanced magnetic field control technology.

Magnetic suspension technology, for example.

While controlling the drone to swing past and clear the ground of broken glass residue, Em also recovered the metal balls embedded in the wall and used repair foam to clean up the bullet marks on the wall.

Watching Ai control several drones and sweeping robots clean up the scene, the ark took off the bracelet worn on his right hand and placed the five metal balls back in turn.

Just as he was about to put it aside, turn on the computer, continue to brush the literature, and look for that "big enough research topic," the doorway suddenly sounded like a knock.

Closed the laptop that had just been turned on, the ark rose and went downstairs to the front door and opened the door.

He thought Wang Peng had heard the noise in the house, knocked on the door to see his condition, but it was Brother Luo who appeared at the door.

An unexpected look at Brother Luo, the ark looked strange and asked.

“… how did you get here from Shanghai? ”

“What you're saying, I'm a professor at Jinling University, isn't it normal to come back? ”

Looking at Brother Luo's “brilliant” unspeakable smile on his face, Ark Zhou Ke suppressed the urge to roll his white eyes and sighed and asked.

“Come on, what's going on? ”

“Looks like you don't know.” Rowenxuan hey, "he said.“ I just got a call to your office. ”

“Phone?”

“Well, guess who? ”

“Who…”

“The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences! ”

The moment I heard the name, the ark stunned for a moment.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered what day it was.

“...”

“Ha-ha-ha! I see you guessed. ”

Finally, no more acting, Rowenxuan laughed out loud, more excited than he won the grand prize, stretched out his arm and caught the neck of the ark, so that he could eat milk harder, slapping his face on the shoulder of the forceful ark.

“Dude, Brother Lu! ”

“Congratulations! ”

“You won the prize again! ”
