Chapter 1258

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

One is to strengthen cooperation with China in the field of space, such as talking about the rent of the lunar surface quality accelerator, and the other is to buy time for the American space industry.

However, it seems that the Chinese side does not leave him much room for negotiation, while the White House side has great expectations for his visit, but it is unable to provide him with more support.

From the White House's silence on the issue of Guanghan, it can be seen.

Even though they are extremely reluctant, they still have to, or are forced to, make compromises on many issues.

California's controllable fusion power plant has pulled the whole west to the pro China camp. Maybe the people of California don't like Chinese culture and products so much, but they at least hope that the authorities don't offend the Chinese nation. It's better to forget them for a while, just as they don't exist.

After all, the citizens of Los Angeles have enjoyed clean and cheap fusion energy, and the social development of the whole western region has once again entered the fast lane.

Now let them go back to accept the bad and expensive thermal and chemical energy, let alone the vast majority of people will not accept, there is no way to accept.

That's what society is like.

Always only the next phase is compatible.

If you go back Even a small step back can cause very serious problems.

If the relationship between the two sides deteriorates, the Chinese will withdraw their experts and equipment, even if it is in the national interest of the United States, the consequences will not be borne by the people of California or the whole western region, and even by the politicians who expect to get votes from the people

On the whole, the meeting in Shangjing was quite smooth.

No matter how furious he was in his office, no matter how he cursed the competitors in front of him in his daily meetings, director Carson sitting here was meek as a sheep, modest and full of demeanor, like a politician from developed countries.

In fact, this kind of situation is very rare.

Only in the face of the strong can people show their modesty, and in the face of the weak, even if they abide by the rules of politeness, the arrogance in the eyes is not hidden.

After the meeting, director Li came to the office of the Presbyterian with a memorandum of meeting and reported the meeting to the old man sitting behind the desk.

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

"I'll draw a line for you. Just follow this to talk."

Director Li said respectfully.

"Please tell me."

"Economic cooperation is welcome, and political compromise is unnecessary."

Director Li looked solemn and nodded.

"I see."

Although it's just a short sentence, the amount of information is not generally large.

The economic cooperation and welcome means that the leasing of the lunar surface quality accelerator can be negotiated. On the premise of meeting its own transportation needs, part of the excess transportation capacity can be sold to international customers.

It also includes the construction of public facilities in Guanghan, the supply of living materials and consumer goods for Guanghan residents, which China has no plan to swallow alone. If they can provide better service at a lower price, no one will refuse.

As for the political compromise, it will be better understood.

In a simple word, do business honestly and earn money together. Don't gossip about the problems of Guanghan special economic zone. You can still be friends.

Old man: "is there anything else?"

Director Li: "there is another one."

"Say it."

"That Carson hopes to bring some lunar soil from us Or meteorites from the moon, as a symbol of our friendship

Hearing this sentence, the old man smiled and thought for a while, then he said,

"I will honor Li for his kindness."

"They have given us 1g lunar rock samples before. We have no reason to refuse such a request. You'll go to the moon orbit construction committee to say hello and ask them to pack a kilogram of lunar soil. When Carson leaves, let him take it back. "

"By the way, remember to ask him to take a message back."

"The resources of the moon belong to all mankind, not to the United States. No country has the right to own it, but it has the right to develop and use it. We welcome any country and organization to join in this exploration of the future of mankind. "

"As long as everything is in the framework of peace."

"As long as they understand the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences."

……

Jinling.

Zhongshan International Villa.

Sitting in my study, I am playing with the new toys I just got from the last system task.It's a black bracelet, similar to most sports watches, even the design of the LED screen embedded in the surface is the same.

But intuition tells Lu Zhou that the materials and technology used for that screen are probably not available on earth. In addition, there are five grooves on the side of the bracelet.

When his index finger gently touches the screen, five grooves will pop out five small black metal balls less than 10 mm in diameter. These little balls move slowly under the traction of the changing magnetic field, which looks very magical.

The boat tries to turn its hand over or wave its arms. The five black metal balls follow his arm as if they recognize the bracelet on his hand.

"Interesting..."

The boat tried to hold one of the balls with its left hand, pull it away from the magnetic field above the ring, and then let go again. The little ball seemed to be tethered by an invisible spring. At the moment when he let go, he bounced back like a slingshot.

"Toys of alien civilization?"

Looking at the black metal ball above the floating palm, the interested look in the eyes of the land boat became more and more obvious.

The system's description of it is very vague, and even does not give a specific name, but according to his exploration, he has found some functions of this bracelet.

For example, most basic, it can measure heart rate and record time just like other sports bracelets.

In addition, it also has the most important function, which is to form a constantly changing electromagnetic field around the bracelet, which can control the movement of small metal balls.

At the same time, it seems that there is a special brain wave recognition device built in the bracelet, which can recognize the received neural signals, convert them into electrical signals, process them through the built-in chip, and feed them back to the magnetic field control unit in the bracelet, so as to control the movement track of the five small black metal balls in the air.

As far as the effect is concerned, this phenomenon is very strange, just like magic. As for what it is used for, the land boat is a little confused.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this.

It's like an alien without long feet. If you get a pair of a cones from the earth, you don't know what they are used for.

The only thing that can be concluded by the land boat now is that the core materials used in this bracelet, the design of electromagnet and the control technology of magnetic field have far exceeded the existing technology level on the earth.

But at this time, groping for the bracelet of the boat, suddenly found a familiar sign inside it.

He vaguely remembered that he had seen it in some dream

"AI."

Floating on the side of the UAV, hanging a small TV, fluttered over.

[what can I do for you? Master. Looking at the five metal balls floating in his hands, the boat thought for a moment and asked, "is there any information about this in your database?"

At the time of this order, there was no hope in the heart of Lu Zhou.

After all, he has asked similar questions many times, but he has not got any valuable answers.

The only thing he can tell now is that AI is probably the intelligent navigation program of the last ship sent by the Kalan civilization to the center of the galaxy.

Unfortunately, the memory of the last universe seems to have been deleted from its database. There is no valuable clue left -

[Xiaoai's database seems to have the information of this thing. (??)?]

land boat: "...??"

At the beginning, Lu Zhou thought he was wrong.

It wasn't until he reconfirmed the line on the little TV that he suddenly regained his mind and immediately asked.

"Transfer out the information about it, all of it!"

I'll find (???)?]

very rare, this time Xiaoai disappeared for a long time.

Just when Lu Zhou doubted whether it was a crash or a errand to play games, the light blue words finally emerged from the small TV.

[strange There are traces in the cache, but it seems to be deleted In a word, it seems to be a weapon. It used to belong to an officer who seemed to be very powerful. (＠_ ＠;)]

land boat: "...?"

What kind of ghost is it?!

But what surprised him even more was another thing.

If there is no problem with Xiaoai's expression, then it may have found that in its "memory", there seems to be something deleted.

But then again, is there such a thing as "memory" in AI? Can this kind of memory exist independently of hardware?Just as Lu Zhou was thinking about this problem, another line of words appeared on the small TV.

[otherwise, master, you can try and use your imagination Launch it in a certain direction? (° ー″)]

imagination?

Weapons?

Launch it?

Staring at the five metal balls floating on the palm of his hand, the boat fell into deep thought.

All of a sudden, his mind moved, as if he thought of something, and he could see the vase by the wall.

"If it's a weapon..."

Gradually, his attention was focused on the flowerpot. Although he knew that he might look like a second in class, it didn't matter to think that there were no other people in the study.

The heart rate index on his wrist began to change. I don't know if it was the illusion of a land boat. He felt the five metal balls floating above his palm began to shake gently.

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

The huge hind force climbed up the wrist and forearm. Before the land boat was able to recover, the vase he was staring at cracked and exploded.

It's like

At the same time, there is less metal ball floating on the palm.

Looking at the deep bullet hole left on the wall, the eyes of the land boat finally emerged a dignified.

"Magnetic slingshot?"

Or something like that.

After all, he didn't know how to call it. The only thing he could tell was that there was a special controlled electromagnet inside the metal ball. When he "gave the attack command", the electric energy stored in the energy container was released in a flash and converted into a magnetic field that was repulsive to the bracelet.

The whole ball is like a bullet on a catapult, which is ejected in a flash.

Although it's a simple thing in principle, it actually sounds quite strange.

What kind of electrified magnet can make the metal ball with the size of 10 mm shoot out like a bullet? Let alone, it is extremely difficult to integrate electromagnets and control chips into a small ball with a diameter of no more than 10 mm.

At least the recoil from the wrist can feel that the magnetic field driving this thing is not small.

Staring at the glass fragments in the corner, the boat pondered for a while, then said.

“…… Let's clean this place. "

AI: [OK, master ~]

have a chance to study the structure inside. Copycat as like as two peas,

can not expect to restore all the technology from reverse engineering, and duplicate the same brand of cottage products in the real world.

However, referring to some of the designs, it's not sure that they can still inspire the science on earth.

For example, more advanced magnetic field control technology.

For example, magnetic levitation technology and so on.

controls the drone flying past and removing the broken glass slag on the ground. At the same time, Xiao AI also recovered the metal balls embedded in the wall for the land boat and cleaned up the bullet marks on the walls with foam repair.

Watching AI control several drones and sweeping robots to clean up the scene, Lu Zhou takes off the bracelet on his right hand and installs the five metal balls in turn.

Just as he was about to put this thing aside, turn on the computer and continue to brush the literature, looking for the "great enough research topic", a knock suddenly rang at the porch.

Closing the laptop that just opened, Lu Zhou got up and went downstairs to the porch and opened the door.

He thought it was Wang Peng who heard the sound in the room and knocked on the door to see what happened to him, but it turned out that it was elder martial brother Luo who appeared at the door.

I took a look at elder martial brother Luo unexpectedly, and asked Lu Zhou strangely.

“…… How did you come here from Shanghai? "

"I'm a professor of Jinling University. Isn't it normal for me to come back?"

Looking at the "brilliant" smile on elder martial brother Luo's face, Lu Zhou restrained the impulse of rolling his eyes and sighed.

"Tell me, what is it?"

"You don't seem to know." Luo Wenxuan said with a smile, "there was a phone call to your office just now."

"Phone?"

"Mm-hmm, guess who did it?"

"Who is..."

"Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences!"

Hearing the name for a moment, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned.

Just then, he suddenly remembered what day it was.

"Don't you..."

"Hahaha! you 're right! It seems you guessed! "

Finally, he didn't have to perform any more. Luo Wenxuan burst out laughing. He was even more excited than he had won the grand prize. He stretched out his arm and hooked it around the neck of the boat. He tried hard to eat his milk and clapped the shoulder of the boat."Niubi, younger martial brother Lu!"

"Congratulations!"

"you win once again!"
