Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“I'm sorry it didn't come to this. ”

“I... wasn't going to send that paper, but I didn't expect my students to move too fast. I contacted 585 of them yesterday and have withdrawn the paper, but it seems to be useless. ”

The phone call was from Dean Qiu Mingrui.

The sound was full of exhaustion and self-reproach.

It was not his intention for the Ark to hear that things would turn out this way, nor did he think of this academic debate as a political tool for those with a heart.

Looking at the old man in the video window, the ark soothed.

“I don't blame you for this, even without your thesis, it's time to come back. ”

Just as there were no gunshots from Sarajevo and World War I would eventually erupt, the Ark did not think that the hidden foundation would let itself go, so it watched the second-generation controllable fusion research project on its horse.

Whether they are based on old grievances a century ago or conflicts of interest in the new century, they are in opposite positions.

“Thank you, you can understand my pain...”

After looking at the ark with gratitude, Qiu Mingrui hesitated to tell him about it, but thought of the man's final warning, he finally endured it.

After all, he's just a scholar. Even as an academician, it's just a shining academic halo more than ordinary people, and it's nothing at all in the face of real threats of power and death.

Not to mention being part of their conspiracy...

“That's it, I have an important meeting… if you have any new leads, call me back. ”

After a glance at the time on the holographic window, the Ark estimated that Li Guangya, sitting opposite the conference table, was tired of waiting, so he ended the conversation and hung up.

Although there is a hunch that the old man has something else he hasn't told himself, in fact, it's not important anymore.

As early as the turmoil in Guangdong City had just occurred, he had ordered Xiao Ai to focus on Reverend Qiu Mingrui. Although the riot was not considered related to the Autumn Academicians, it was, after all, at the heart of the whirlpool of public opinion and a variable piece of chess, and it made no sense that the Foundation's people would not contact him.

In a sense, one's behaviour is also a disguised protection.

Without surprise, the fish hiding in the dark should have begun to bite.

Is it a big fish or a small fish, all he has to do is wait patiently for the results...

After the call, the ark extended its index finger and paddled down in the air, closing the holographic window.

Seeing that he was finally busy, Li Guangya sat across from the conference table and asked casually.

“Whose phone? ”

“Autumn Academician. ”

“The Chi Ming Ray? ”

“Yes.”

As if there was no topic left, the dialogue between the two men was so abruptly interrupted.

With the big eyes of the Ark, Li Guangya looked at each other. The expression on Li Guangya's face did not see anything, but his heart ached very much.

Whether it is to appease the grievances of the residents of Guangdong City or to be upright, interviewing East Asian Electricity, as chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation Board, is something he must do.

However, he didn't know what to talk about when he had an appointment, and to be honest, he didn't know what to talk about.

Frankly, there's nothing to talk about.

Sitting across from him was the greatest scholar of a hundred years ago, and if he had the ability to question him academically, he wouldn't be a board chairman.

Looking at the indifferent ark, Li Guangya sighed and gently said.

“Since so many people oppose you, why don't we take down the space elevator first? ”

After hearing this unexpected remark, the ark stunned slightly and did not understand the relationship for a moment and a half.

Deciding God, he said.

“Something like a space elevator... involves too many things, and I'm only 30 percent sure at most. Yet the second generation of controllable fusion, after a hundred years of research, is now ripe. ”

“The time is ripe. The problem is that you have to think about what you really want," Lee Guangya said, “At least in my opinion, the generation fusion technology is completely sufficient, even for another 50 years. Can't we just solve the problem and then think about this alternative? ”

“In my view, this is the problem at hand," the Ark continued after a while of silence, "second-generation controllable fusion technology is a prerequisite for interstellar navigation. With only one generation of controllable fusion technology, we can only cruise within the solar system at most, but with two generations of controllable fusion technology, we can even move our footprint beyond a few light years. ”

Li Guangya: “Nothing to discuss? ”

The ark shook its head.

“It's not going to work. It's not going to work. I'm not going to do it. I'm going to LaGrand Daytime Space Base or Mars, which has a lot of wasteland. ”

Although this is not an appropriate option, it is indeed a standby option that has been carefully considered by the Ark, although there may be some trouble with both options.

Moving the reactor onto the station would be the least controversial but would increase the maintenance costs and safety risks of the reactor. Unlimited responsibility and centralized self-government in Tiangong City may be more convenient than in Guangdong District, let alone risk-free. Death on Mars is not news news, but fierce folklore and overflowing weapons may have an unpredictable impact on the progress of the experiment.

Another threat from an air thief...

Unless he had to, he did not wish to send his researchers to such a dangerous zone.

“But if that were the case, it would be expensive," Li Guangya touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "I heard that the fuel for second-generation fusion is Helium III and Deuterium, which can only be obtained on the Moon and Earth, respectively. ”

Looking at Li Guangya, the Ark suddenly had some confusion about what he really wanted to do.

“… yes, and without the enormity of the Earth Moon system's energy needs on Mars, my original idea was to build a moon-based second-generation fusion reactor on the Moon, and then use high-power laser power transmission technology to transmit electricity to repeaters in geosynchronous orbit, and then to the Earth's grid to create an Earth Moon energy corridor. ”

After a pause, the ark shrugged and continued.

“But now it seems that my thoughts may indeed ignore the feelings of the inhabitants of Guangdong. ”

Li Guangya: “You really didn't think about it, only your research and papers are in your eyes, you forget that they are all living people! Of course, people are scared, and they are incited for fear, unless disaster strikes someone else's head! If I were you, I wouldn't be so direct, like the space elevator, I'd think of a reason for the past that sounded like it, and then try to arrange a mascot that people would believe in me, or in themselves, and build this elevator is faith, the mission that times gave them! ”

“Like war, you have to give them the courage and honor to face death before they can fear death. Or you could just whip their asses. Stock, force them to fight, but think about it. It's the 22nd century. Is that possible? ”

The ark frowned.

“Mascot? ”

“Cough... I mean, how come you don't always listen to the point when you have a few shiny classics?” Li Guangya coughed up and forcibly changed the subject, continuing, “Let's make a deal, I'll give you a hand, you give me a hand too. It's good for both of us to help each other, and we can all keep names in history. ”

History…

Feels like a good, distant word.

Though not interested in historical naming, the Ark was somewhat interested in his proposal.

“What do you want me to do for you? ”

“Space Elevator,” said Li Guangya, "I will sort things out for you in Guangdong City, in exchange, I want you to be the General Counsellor of Scientific Development for Pan-Asian Cooperation, and the General Designer of Space Elevator! Even if it's just a hangover. ”

In other words, would you like to plan your own platform for the space elevator?

The ark took about half a minute to think about it, and finally said.

“It can be, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the second generation of controllable fusion technology to come out. ”

Li Guangya frowned and asked.

“How long will this second-generation fusion heap last? ”

The Ark thought about answering.

“One year, maybe two, and my instincts tell me it's not far from the end. ”

“Then set a deadline of one year,” continued Li Guangya, "a year later, you come to serve as the General Counsellor for Scientific Development of Pan-Asian Cooperation! Whether you're involved or not, I need your name! ”

“Deal. ”

Although the old fox's cunning was seen in this guy's eyes, the ark agreed.

Whether it's for name or profit, the results are always good.

Speaking of selfishness, a person has a selfishness, even his own.

It doesn't matter, I'm afraid only children can go back and compare it.

At this point, the wristwatch worn by the ark on his left wrist suddenly flashed slightly and a telephone prompt icon popped up.

Noticed this scene, Li Guangya's face suddenly showed a silent expression and sighed.

“Why are you calling so many times? ”

“Probably because I'm busy… I'll go out and pick it up. ”

“Can't you just pick it up right here? ”

“No, because this is not convenient. ”

After dropping this sentence, the ark rose and walked out of the conference room.

Looking at the empty room, Li Guangya leaned against the chair and waited impatiently for about two minutes.

Finally, the door opened again and the ark came back from the outside.

Noticed the strange look on the face of the ark, Li Guangya's eyebrows provoked a curious curve and asked.

“What is it?”

Back in his chair, he sat down and the ark looked weird and whispered back.

“Nothing, just hooked a big fish. ”

Besides, it's still a big fish that surprises him...
