Star Sky Grand Hotel.

In the presidential suite.

A man in a suit leather shoes with a tall nose stood at the desk in the study, looking at the Yang Chongping Academician sitting on the chair, slightly lifting the glass in his hand and smiling.

“Allow me to toast you, because your design is so perfect that I don't even know how to thank you. ”

“You don't have to thank me," said Yang Chongping, looking at the man standing at the desk with no expression. "If you have to thank me, turning my blueprint into reality is the greatest thank you to me. ”

“Don't worry about this! We've contacted the shipyards and those suppliers who can build the parts you're designing, and I'm sure you'll hear the good news from me in no time," Mr. Gladstone smiled a little while, continuing in a complimentary tone, "I'm sure by the time this epic colonial ship is complete, your name will be in history, in the name of the greatest space engineer of the century! ”

“With only one starship? Too many people deserve to be included in the history book,” looking out the window, that's the direction of the Earth, Yang Chongping academician slightly squinted his eyes and continued, "The greatest miracle of the century is there, compared to that ladder that connects the heavens and the earth, that starship is not worth mentioning. ”

“That's not necessarily true, and don't be foolish about it,” Gladstone said with a smile, "Let's think about it. As the second sun rises from the top of our civilization, as our colonial capsule lands on a planet far from Earth, far from our solar system, who else can do more than you as the designer of this ship? Undoubtedly, you will be the fire-breaker of the civilized spark, and your greatness will be no less than that of any man, even Master Lu. ”

I have to say, sometimes even knowing it's a butt is hard to disgust.

Yang Chongping's eyebrows soothed a little when he heard Gladstone's speech, and he had a little fun with his mood.

However, as an unspoken scholarly leader, he did not express this pleasant expression on his face, but spoke in a calm tone.

“I hope so. ”

“Before I go to bed, I have to set the minutes, so I won't talk. ”

“As you wish," Gladstone nodded slightly and said with pleasure, "It is the body that is the capital of scientific research, remember to rest early, don't stay up too late...”

“And have a nice life. ”

The holographic beam projected in front of the desk gradually contracted, and the figure standing in the holographic beam also hid its trace with it.

That's a real holographic projection system with a false mess, which is completely invisible, and it was just holographic images that stood there before.

After sending the manager of the South Gate II Colonial Exploration Foundation away, Yang Chongping raised his index finger on the desk and gently tapped the minutes of the meeting during the day to revisit them.

And then at this point, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.

He wanted to see Master Lu's proposal.

Surprisingly, however...

You didn't?

I don't know why, this is called the greatest scholar of today, Lu Academician, from the beginning to the end of the meeting just watched with interest, not a word...

……

“The ark seems to be on Mars. ”

Put the glass in your hand on the table next to you, turn off Gladstone from the holographic system, and look at Lawrence standing next to you.

“People are at the Starry Hotel, as if they were attending a seminar on the IWD development plan. ”

Gladstone was looking forward to seeing a slight look in Lawrence's face. After all, even if they were allies now, this guy was kind of annoying.

But surprisingly, Lawrence just nodded his head and couldn't see a change in the look on his face. Just as if they were just talking about a sparse, ordinary topic, he said in an unusual tone.

“I've heard. ”

“That's it?”

“What do you want to ask. ”

“I mean... the guy who made you plant a big heel right under your nose, aren't you going to do something? ”

“If he doesn't interfere with my plan, why should I proactively provoke him to make my plan extraneous?” Lawrence glanced at this Mr. Gladstone and lightened his tone, "Didn't you see why you really failed? ”

Who else could it be?

Isn't it because of you?

Gladstone's eyebrows twitched and his face flashed a little unhappy, but he eventually suppressed the grievance and took a deep breath to say it.

“I always thought there was something strange about this, and do you think he might have noticed something? ”

Lawrence pondered for a while and said.

“This possibility does exist and you can keep an eye on his movements, but it is best not to proactively engage him. Remember, our task is to complete this Noah's Ark to the New World, without having to cut out branches. ”

“Of course, I'll pay attention,” Gladstone nodded, reflecting for a while, and then suddenly he said, “Actually, there's something I haven't quite understood. ”

Lawrence: "Don't understand what? ”

Gladstone: “The warp engine is now listed only on the Qin Ling, how do you plan to put that thing on our... colonial ship? ”

“Is that what you're saying? It's not difficult,” Lawrence smiled lightly, continuing, "Mars is the stomach of human civilization, where all the ore is smelted into alloys and then cast into a machine that devours energy. Whether it's East Asian Heavy Industries, the North American Alliance's Space-X or Boeing, their production line is here. We're standing on the stomach of human civilization right now. Do you have to worry about not getting a warp engine? ”

“You mean… to take the drawings directly from East Asian Heavy Industries?” Looking at him like a monster, Gladstone looked at him and said strangely, "Haven't you learned your lesson from the failure of Valley Star? Facing confrontation is impossible to succeed. ”

“Facing the fight? I never thought of it that way," Lawrence continues with Slow Slow Slow Sly, “although I'm AI, that doesn't mean I won't learn from failure. This time, I intend to solve this problem in a civilized manner. ”

Gladstone shrugged his shoulders.

“Pan-Asian cooperation will not tolerate the leakage of this level of secrecy into the hands of an unknown force, and once they discover that the drawings have been leaked, we have no chance of putting the warp engine on Noah's Ark, and the war will start! ”

“There may be a war, but it must not be us, and you will understand why I say this, which is an exchange of interests," Lawrence smiled slightly, continuing, "Now, there is only one thing that needs to be done, which is to involve as many people as possible in the Noah Ark project. ”

Staring at the holographic image in front of him, Gladstone was disturbed, and after a moment of hesitation, he couldn't help but say: "I hope your crazy plan doesn't take us all into the ditch. ”

“Crazy isn't crazy. I don't know, but do you have any other options? ”

Looking at Gladstone, who couldn't say a word, Lawrence smiled slightly, his hands behind his back, and just disappeared from a silent space.
