Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Lu Xiaoqiao...

It's just one word short, but it's a hundred years short.

The Ark never thought that it would meet its descendants in such a way.

Invite Lu Xiaoqiao into the house and ask Ark to help pack the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen and pour a glass of water for himself and this distant guest.

After inviting her to sit on the couch, the ark carefully gauged her eyes as she looked into the kitchen.

Very much so.

No, it's too similar.

Especially her side face, and that tall forehead, and Xiaotong were carved out of a mold.

I didn't notice the ancestor sitting opposite me looking at the little Joe walking into the kitchen, his mouth suddenly held a slight smile.

She retrieved her gaze from the kitchen and turned to the ark and said.

“Looks like you're starting to fit into this era. ”

The ark answered at random.

“Why do you say that? ”

Lu Xiaoqiao: “That kid, is he a bionic? ”

The ark nodded.

“Kind of. What's the problem? ”

“Mm-hmm, no. ”

He shook his head gently and looked at the ancestor sitting in front of him, who was over 100 years older than himself. Lu Xiaoqiao bent his corner and said playfully, "I'm starting to believe that you are Master Lu himself. ”

The ark sighed.

“I am. ”

“I believe in you, blood intimacy is not deceptive, even for two people you never met. ”

For a moment, the Ark felt like she was trying to call herself Grandpa or something like that, but maybe she was too young to call herself out.

Just as Ark thought about whether to say something to open the topic, sitting opposite him, Lu Xiaoqiao suddenly changed his serious expression, took a deep breath and then stood up from the couch.

“First…”

“I must apologize on my own behalf and on behalf of my family before I can fulfill the statute of the Foundation for the Protection of Frozen Rights and Interests and explain what is happening to you! ”

Saying, Lu Xiaoqiao, who stood up from the couch, bowed deeply to the ark.

Forced by this strange behavior, the ark stunned slightly and asked in a misty way.

“Apologize? Wait, I'm a little confused about what you mean. ”

“Here's the thing...”

Biting down his lip, Lu Xiaoqiao lowered his head and told the truth in a shameful tone.

Originally, since the loss of the spiritual leader of the Ark, the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies eventually began to gradually go downhill from its peak at the height of the moment.

Although Yang Xu, who succeeded the Director at the time, made some efforts during his tenure, after his retirement, the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies eventually fell into an unsustainable dilemma.

Especially in the 1950s or so, the patents for starry science and technology expired successively, core competitiveness gradually lost, and the focus of business was forced to shift from technology research and development to investment in emerging technologies. While this part of the business has also achieved some success, it has never been as brilliant as it was on the Ark.

Poor business, coupled with the loss of core competitiveness, has been crashing for half a century.

Around the 1960s and 1970s, the then chairman of the board - the grandfather of Lu Xiaoqiao - made a rather bold decision even now.

In the face of the bankruptcy of Star Sky Technology due to mismanagement, he accepted the merger and acquisition agreement proposed by the Pan-Asian Central Bank, split the business of Star Sky Technology, and sold the entire package of high debt to Pan-Asian cooperation while retaining the brand of Star Sky Technology.

It is also in this way that the problems of the loss and debt of star science and technology have finally been properly resolved, and that outstanding research institutions such as the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies - or the precious academic heritage left by the Ark - have been able to be preserved in the form of public research institutions.

At the same time, Lu Xiaoqiao's grandfather, who received a large sum of money through the sale of his "ancestral estate", followed Lu Xiaotong's will and committed himself to the cause of public welfare. With this sum, the Ark Education Fund was established, and more than 2,000 primary and secondary schools were established on the land of Pan-Asian cooperation, making an invaluable contribution to the modernization of basic education.

It is also worth mentioning that after a century of buoyancy, the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies, although depressed for some time, was eventually reborn into Nirvana after being publicized and became the leading scientific research institution in Pan-Asian cooperation. Together with Jinling University, it is like two ivory towers looking remotely at the academic prosperity of the land.

In fact, after listening to past events outside these times, the hearts of the ark, though slightly regrettable, are much more than happy.

In the face of the truth of the universe, money was just a number that could not surprise him, and money was never the purpose of his scientific career. A long time ago, he had a wealth that he had been wasting his whole life, and if it was just for the sake of wealth, he didn't have to work so hard at all.

By contrast, he was already quite satisfied to be able to preserve the brand of the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies and watch his academic legacy grow.

In and of itself, he was founded with the intention of facilitating himself and dealing with troublesome intellectual property issues.

However, although the Ark itself doesn't care much about those things, Lu Xiaoqiao clearly still looks unrelenting.

After all, it turns out that this huge family business has been defeated by their descendants.

Her grandfather had even prepared to wait for Hexi to go down there and thank the Ark himself for his sins. As a result, no one thought that the ancient ancestors were still alive and wanted to thank the sins without even taking the next steps.

“I'm really, really sorry, I'm willing to do everything I can to compensate you for your loss... and about the Ark Education Fund. In addition to those donations from all walks of life, there is a very significant asset in this education fund for you. If you wish, I can apply for liquidation of this asset and transfer it to you--”

“No need," interrupted Lu Xiaoqiao. After laughing, Ark continued, "I understand the choices your grandfather made at that time, and I don't blame you at all. In fact, you did what I've always wanted to do, but never had a chance to do it. ”

Lu Xiaoqiao opened his mouth slightly and looked at the ark with incredible surprise.

Apparently, she didn't think that after hearing such things, the Ark would give such a spilled answer.

Without ignoring the surprised look on her face, the Ark did not provide any explanation, and continued after a moment of pause.

“I didn't intend to take back what I was supposed to give out. Whether it's the Frozen Rights and Interests Protection Foundation or the Ark Education Fund, now that you've found the right way to dispose of this wealth, let this noble and great cause continue. ”

“As for money, it doesn't matter to me. ”

“I would like to know more about this than these irrelevant things...”

The words had reached the mouth, but it was at that moment that the ark suddenly became nervous for a moment.

Eventually, however, he took a deep breath and made up his mind to say it.

“… how are they? ”

Looking at the unparalleled dislodging of the previous second, the second his face was filled with rugged canoes, Lu Xiao Qiao slightly stunned and said with a smile.

“I can assure you of that. Although I have not met my great-grandmother, I have heard from my grandfather… she is a kind, kind and humble good person. ”

The ark was slightly stunned and a slight reluctant smile appeared on his face, but it was still a clear smile.

“Really? Then I'm relieved. ”

The rigid atmosphere finally eased a little.

Although Ms. Lu Xiaoqiao still sits across from herself, she is no longer as good as she was when she first met herself.

In her conversation, the Ark learned that her loved ones had lived happily ever after.

This is also the greatest consolation for an ark.

As for his fiancée, the CEO at the height of starry technology, Lu Xiaoqiao did not have much news about her either, but implicitly remembered that she resigned in 2025.

As for the others…

Who would have recorded the life of the CEO of a company a hundred years ago?

After all, they still haven't been able to formally enter the hall of marriage...

“In fact, your parents left you a holographic image of them in the freezer's fund safe. But I may not be able to give it to you right now, and procedurally we have to wait for Pan-Asian cooperation to notarize your identity before we can give you what belongs to you. ”

“Fine,” the expression on the ark's face was a little complicated, so I laughed easily, "I wasn't actually ready to face them right now. Please keep it for a while before I restore my identity. ”

Lu Xiaoqiao shook his head and said: “Where things are, this is our duty, there is no trouble to talk about. I will definitely do my best to help you recover your identity as soon as possible… In addition, there is one more thing I am here to do. ”

“What is it? ”

“As Chairman Li Guangya should have already told you, it is about Pan-Asian Airlines compensation. ”

Saying, Lu Xiaoqiao stretched out his index finger and gently tapped on his left wrist. From the holographic panel that popped up afterwards, he picked an electronic contract with about 12 pages, pushing it gently in front of the ark.

“This contract was awarded jointly by ASPIC and Pan-Asian Airlines, which, under the law of Pan-Asian cooperation, will provide financial compensation to passengers aboard the ship in accordance with the criteria of 'significant navigational error' and ‘significant safety risks’. ”

“Immediately after the contract is concluded, they will pay you 10% in advance compensation. Once the results of the survey are available, the remaining funds will be credited to your personal account at once. ”

Ark: “About how much money? ”

“One million credit points. ”

There was no concept of the credit point as a monetary unit, nor did the Ark think much about it. After a brief sweep of the contract, it printed its own ID code.

After the signing of the contract, Lu Xiaoqiao's meeting time was not too early, so he did not make more stopovers, indicating that he would come to visit him next time, and then he got up and left.

After sending her sister's great-granddaughter away, the Ark is preparing to go into the system space to see the outstanding mission reward.

But at this point, he was wearing a personal terminal on his left wrist and suddenly received a reminder of arrival.

Clicking on the pop-up holographic window, the ark looked at the zeroes in the dialog box and stunned slightly.

“... a million? ”

He had thought that one million dollars on the contract, referring to the total amount of compensation, did not realize that it was just an advance payment.

Thinking about the purchasing power of the credit point, the face of the ark can't help but have a strange look.

Although he never thought that making money was a difficult thing for him.

But he didn't realize that he had just returned to Earth to earn the first barrel of gold in his 22nd century life in this way...
