Chapter 1624: The Old Tooth Trick?

Over the course of these days, the Ark has basically received emails from Vera every day, sometimes several times a day.

Clearly he had only been away from home for a while, and this e-mail sent by three or five minutes apart always made him feel like he had gone a long way.

Well, that's true, after all, Mars and Earth are quite far apart.

Especially now, two celestial bodies are running relatively far away, nearly 300 million to 400 million linear distances, and even light has to walk for the last 20 minutes.

But perhaps because the Ark came not on a civil flight, but because of the Qin Ling of the First Fleet, he didn't spend much time on the road, so much so that he didn't really feel this sense of distance.

I'm afraid it's just the terroir on Mars that makes him feel a little traveled.

By the way, the local flavors of food in Tiangong City are a bit daunting.

Perhaps because of the precious freshwater resources, most of the food here is very dry and very light, and it always feels less satisfying when eaten in the mouth.

In addition to that, there is the fierce folk wind and the uncertain enthusiasm and indifference...

On this point, the ark can be said to be quite profound.

“Hasn't that seminar turned out yet? ”

“No,” he said, shaking his head, wiggling the holographic model in his hand, "I realized after coming that the situation on Mars was more complicated than I thought. ”

Guess what the complexity of the ark fingers is, Wang Peng's face can't help but show some strange expression.

“Even you feel complicated? ”

“Yes," he nodded, sayingly, "there is a serious division between the academia of Mars and the geology community, in short, they have formed a unique ecology that makes it difficult to allow outsiders to intervene. ”

Wang Peng: “Did you come for nothing? ”

Ark: “Not at all. Mayor Xue's invitation was just one of the reasons I came to Mars. Beyond that, I have more important things to do. ”

Curiously lifted his eyebrows, Wang Peng asked casually.

“Yes… what is it? Of course, I'm just curious, if that's inconvenient. ”

Staring at the ark of the model in hand, I thought about it and gave an ambiguous answer.

“It's not inconvenient, it's mainly about the warp engine and some things about the Z particles. ”

Speaking of which, it's been over a year since I woke up from sleep.

A man has been buried underground for over a year and wonders if General Reinhardt will feel bored.

The afternoon meeting still ended in a quarrel.

The boat basically didn't listen much the whole time, and besides letting Ai design the auxiliary office system for him record the main points of the meeting, he was basically doing his thing.

After the meeting, he had intended to go to the restaurant for a meal and then go back to his room to rest.

However, it happened that in the restaurant he met Professor Wu Qinglai again.

“Why didn't you come to the meeting just now? ”

“The opinions of our Earth experts don't really matter, I thought you'd discovered," With a helpless expression, Professor Wu Qinglai suddenly mysteriously approached the side of the ark and lowered his voice and said, “Without saying this... have you heard of Noah's Ark? ”

Noah's Ark?

Intuition told the Ark that the guy wasn't going to discuss the myth story with himself, so he threw in the questioning.

“What's that? ”

“You have no idea,” Wu Qinglai's face smiled and continued in an exciting tone, “the legendary world's largest colonial ship being built! It was also the first colonial ship built for alien colonization by the South Gate II Foundation for the Exploration of the Colonial Galaxy! Target is South Gate 2, Neighbor B! The reason I didn't come to the meeting was to rob tickets from the hotel's network in my room! ”

Robbing…?

Upon hearing this, the face of the ark could not bear to show a strange expression.

“What ticket? ”

“Is that a question? Tickets, of course! ”

“… are you interested in alien colonization? ”

“How is that possible? However, although I wasn't planning on robbing my alien planet, I was very interested in credit points!” With a smile on Professor Wu's face, he continued, "In short, the South Gate II Foundation, with the help of Tiangong City Bank, issued 100,000 tickets and raised funds for the construction of the colonial ship through the sale of tickets! ”

Ark: “So what? ”

“The South Gate II Foundation undertakes to hold tickets of different classes and, in addition to being eligible for boarding, to acquire title to different areas of land in the colony. As you should have noticed, these tickets have financial properties, and in fact they do, and that's less than an hour, and their price has doubled. I bought 10 cards for a total of 300,000 credit points and when they go up to about a million, I'll get rid of them! ”

A little worried that this guy had been tricked by the hog tray scam, the Ark couldn't help but warn him.

“It sounds like a Ponzi scam… something similar happened a century ago. ”

However, this kind reminder clearly did not serve any purpose.

Instead of changing the excited expression on Professor Wu Qinglai's face, he argued with the head of the Ark.

“You don't get it. Ponzi scams are paper games that tear down the East Wall to make up the West Wall and have no physical collateral, but this is different! According to research on the Internet, more than a billion people believe that extracolonial planets are a cool thing to do and have the opportunity to consider going to the new world in search of development. ”

Ark: “And regardless of the kind of survey responses that people don't necessarily have real thoughts about… how do they plan to get to South Gate II? At least as far as I know, East Asian Heavy Industries is not currently licensing warp speed technology with any private enterprise, and I'm afraid not in the short term. ”

“Anyway, this is what the capital market is now eating," Professor Wu shrugged and continued with a confirmed tone, "If you still think I'm being deceived, I recommend you go to Griffin's exhibition. ”

Looking at Professor Wu, the ark was slightly stunned.

“Griffin? ”

Why is this guy suddenly jumping to the exhibition when he's talking about alien colonization?

Just as he was about to ask what the connection between the two was, Professor Wu Qinglai seemed to see through his confusion and spoke voluntarily.

“That's right, John Griffin! The North Sea Alliance is a new London man, the most famous impressionist painting master on Mars, whose painting is unparalleled. As one of the supporters of the alien colonization programme, he had been advocating the search for new art in the new world, so he had recently launched a travelling painting exhibition on Mars's major front-line colonies and auctioned his paintings as a donation for colonial ships bound for South Gate II. ”

Ark: “… are you trying to say that there are a lot of celebrities on this platform? Sorry, I'm not interested in his fundraising. ”

“But I'm sure you'll be interested in his work of art," said Professor Wu Qinglai, looking confidently at the ark, "according to the data provided by the International Astronomical Observation Centre, he completed a landmark work of art by means of impressionist painting combined with modern technological means. This work will be on display at the central museum in Tiangong City, and perhaps he will change your stereotypes about the colonization of outer space. ”

“I have no prejudice to the outer space colonization program itself, and even... Forget it,” he said, "I took over the ticket and the ark made a helpless expression," thank you for the ticket, I will go there if I have time. ”

At the moment of hearing this sentence, Professor Wu Qinglai immediately gave a joyful expression on his face, as if he had heard great good news, and held the right hand of the ark with excitement.

“Also be sure to come! Believe me, that exhibition will not disappoint you! ”
