"father!"

As soon as little Chen Xiao saw Chen Lin come in, he immediately trotted towards him.

At this time, Chen Lin's son is already one and a half years old. Not only can he walk, but he can also simply call dad, mom, grandpa and grandma. He always makes Chen's father and mother and Lin Yun's father, General Lin, laugh non-stop. They all treat this child as a little treasure.

Chen Lin picked up his son, kissed his son's little face, and walked inside with a smile: "Where's your mother?"

"Mother……"

Little Chen Xiao couldn't utter complete sentences yet. He just pointed to the inner room, indicating that his "mom" was over there. The nanny Wang Ma in the living room stood stiffly on one side, waiting for the male owner Chen Lin to speak.

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wang."

Chen Lin spoke to the woman beside him, and the nanny immediately waved her hands. Chen Lin's current status was too high for her, and being able to help take care of the children and clean the house in this family already made her very satisfied - after all, the salary was really high, and every month she would get at least 20,000 in cash.

Lin Yun came out from the inner room at this time. When he saw Chen Lin, he smiled slightly: "Why did you come back so early today?"

"I'm done with work, so I came back early."

Little Chen Xiao in Chen Lin's arms struggled to find his mother. Lin Yun took his son from his arms and pointed outside: "Want to go out for a walk?"

"That's exactly what I meant."

The two men smiled at each other and packed up simply - Lin Yun changed his clothes, and Chen Lin also changed out of the work clothes he wore to work. Putting on light casual clothes really made them look a lot younger.

Although Chen Lin is not very old at the moment.

Two people pushed the stroller out of the yard, followed by Chen Lin and Lin Yun's small team, including a guard team, assistants, and accompanying office staff.

But they just followed from a distance, so it didn't delay the two of them.

Chen Lin and Lin Yun talked about some of the recent initiatives of Anyun Base. Lin Yun had to know about the previous film shooting. There were all kinds of publicity on TV and various media channels. She more or less knew about the success of Anyun Base's film department.

"I heard that a science fiction movie is being filmed here again?"

"It's almost like a documentary. All the scenes shot are of the starship being built. Some key scenes are directly from the scenes at the Rock Station, and the post-production CG animations are omitted."

Chen Lin said to Lin Yun while teasing his son, "After the last filming of Alien Explorers, although the box office was very high, there were still many controversial topics on the Internet, mainly focusing on the fact that the plot design was too conventional."

"They want to see a more exciting plot, right?"

"You're really right."

Chen Lin stood up and said to Lin Yun while pushing the cart: "The audience for a decent plot is stable. Although it is not so amazing, it can be guaranteed that there are no problems with the basic plot, and a large number of people will not find fault with it."

"The people who say the plot isn't exciting enough are actually just a few in number but have a loud voice. If we really listen to them and change the plot and future development direction, we will inevitably lose some of our stable fans."

Lin Yun didn't say much. The film department of Anyun Base was different from other bases or similar institutions on Earth. It did not face problems such as the game between art and commerce on a daily basis.

With Chen Lin in charge of the film department, he has basically stabilized the entire film department.

On the whole, the mediocre plot is like a calm river. Although it lacks rough waves, it flows steadily, attracting groups of audiences seeking comfort and relaxation.

The movies coming out of Anyun Base often have solid scripts and smooth narratives. They do not actually demand innovation. They tell moving stories within a familiar framework. The plot can even predict the subsequent progress. There is nothing particularly outrageous. This is enough.

Movies that take a different approach are actually like a gamble - they challenge conventions, break boundaries, and explore the abyss of human nature or the boundaries of the future in a unique way. Such movies may become acclaimed works, but they may also suffer a double Waterloo of box office and word of mouth because they are too avant-garde or difficult to understand.

The decision makers of the Anyun Base film department do not need to consider the pros and cons between the two. All they need to consider is the artistic value of the film, its commercial potential, and its impact on society.

Because Chen Lin had already helped them deal with all the things that needed to be considered before, the film department only needed to go in one direction.

In fact, for some ambitious directors and screenwriters, they are eager to express their artistic ideas and explore unknown areas in an unconventional way, and these people are also willing to take risks.

Even if they might face failure, these people would not be surprised at all.

Lin Yun could see that Chen Lin did not choose the latter option. After all, Chen Lin himself was a cautious person. From the beginning of his ability awakening, Chen Lin showed a reaction and actions beyond his age. He did not choose to hide the portal, but carefully delivered it to the Red Dragon Association.

Finally, the Red Dragon Association successfully entered the Origin Star. After more than five years of development, the entire Origin Star was transformed into what it is today...

"Let's not talk about that. The film department has been working on this for more than a year. Alien Explorers was the first shot. I didn't manage many subsequent projects after they were approved. I was only responsible for approval and project review. Anyun Base has unique advantages. Whether they can grasp them depends on their own abilities."

Chen Lin said with a smile: "You will be able to return to the weapons research institute to work soon, are you excited?"

When Lin Yun heard this, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Of course I'm happy!"

She smiled and said to Chen Lin: "I have been confined to my home since the birth of my child. In the past year or so, I have read through all the new technologies that the association has acquired. Although I still don't understand some of them, it is no problem for me to quickly get into work after returning."

"What is the latest scientific progress of the Society?"

"Well, let me explain it to you in detail..." Lin Yun carefully explained to Chen Lin the new technologies that had been developed in recent months. The technology taught by Ellie was carried out step by step. More than a year was enough for the Night Alliance's technology to advance to a higher level of energy utilization.

Although the Red Dragon Association does not yet have the ability to use these magical energies, technology is still developing rapidly.

"...The association has now opened a talent introduction plan. We train our own people and introduce established scientific and technological personnel from outside. Many top scientific researchers from external associations have now entered the Origin Star, and many laboratories have joined."

"Won't something go wrong?"

Lin Yun had replaced Chen Lin in pushing the cart at this time. Little Chen Xiao was sitting quietly inside, looking at the green plants around him without saying a word.

"Nothing can go wrong,"

Lin Yun laughed and said, "Those technicians didn't want to go back after they came here. They are better than the other in Chinese studies. How can their association compare to ours? It's a mess inside, with various forces taking turns to appear and issuing new decrees every day. If we ignore them now, these people will be no different from clowns..."

Chen Lin nodded slightly. What Lin Yun said was true. He had taken a special look at the Western Association some time ago. Due to the demise of the White Eagle Association, the Grizzly Association had close ties with the Red Dragon Association, and the relationship between the two associations was unusually good - this directly led to the only remaining Western Association having no imaginary enemies at all.

The original imaginary enemies no longer care about their existence and troubles. Even these associations have strengthened themselves. Various laws and regulations have prevented them from boasting about their so-called complete separation. Many things they do can only be disgusting in secret.

The key to being able to sneakily attack someone is to make your opponent see you and pay attention to you.

At this point, the Red Dragon Association no longer regards the Western Associations as so-called opponents, and does not pay much attention to their development. This makes many politicians in the Western Associations collectively break down - if they don't pay attention to us at all, then what's the point of us playing!
The chaotic political arena led to complete chaos below, and the Red Dragon Association's finishing blow was just right. The multinational groups easily defeated a large number of local groups and completely controlled the discourse power of these regions from an economic level.

The outflow of a large number of technical talents is understandable.

"Are there any new developments in the association recently?"

"What new developments can there be? The only new development is the announcement of a plan for the next ten years. I see that it includes a project to build a space elevator on Earth... Actually, I am not optimistic about it."

"why?"

Lin Yun was a little confused by Chen Lin's words. In her mind, Chen Lin should be very supportive of the projects undertaken by the association.

"Because our technology has exceeded the original plan."

Chen Lin said helplessly: "Have you forgotten what you just said? The association is currently working on a new energy system, and the previous energy system was already built on the basis of nuclear fusion. Aren't all the infrastructure and mainstream energy in the association now electricity?"

"The starship manufacturing project at Anyun Base has been going on for more than a year, and more than 20 large and small ships have been launched into space. By then, there will be no need to build a space elevator on Earth. The starship manufacturing project can be started directly. After it is built on site, it can be launched directly into space without having to consider the previous cost issues."

"Previously, the cost issues were mainly concentrated on a few points: upgrading once was too expensive, and materials were difficult to transport. Ultimately, it was a problem of low cost-performance."

Chen Lin smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Now we can directly use energy crystals and fusion energy to replace the energy problem, so the importance of the space elevator is not that high."

"That makes a lot of sense..."

It was at this moment that Lin Yun suddenly realized that she had been trapped in this topic before. She thought that the space elevator must be built.

"The space elevator has both advantages and disadvantages. Once the Starship project is fully promoted and the core technology of the Starship is popularized, the space elevator will only have disadvantages, and even the advantage of being the most cost-effective will no longer be available."

"After all, building a space elevator is time-consuming and expensive. As technology develops, it will eventually be phased out. Maybe its only use in the future will be for sightseeing. But by that time, I don't know how many trips I'll have to make to recoup the cost. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the cost of upgrading and maintaining it."

After Chen Lin finished speaking, Lin Yun stopped talking. The debate about the space elevator has never stopped since the idea was first conceived. The space elevator on Blue Sea Star has been sufficient to prove its effectiveness, while the space elevator at the Northern Base on Origin Star has exposed the drawbacks of this large-scale spectacular building, so much so that in the end, whether or not to build the building on Earth has become a subject of debate.

The Red Dragon Society currently has a variety of options, and there is actually a lot of debate on whether to build a space elevator on Earth, mainly due to contrasting projects.

“But it’s hard to say.”

After walking for a distance, Lin Yun spoke to Chen Lin, "From our perspective, this is indeed the case, but the Red Dragon Association actually has a lot to consider, the most significant of which is the uniqueness of Earth as our home planet... I've thought about it carefully, and I think the association will eventually consider building a space elevator project."

"Give your opinion."

"It's simple. We are not the only Red Dragon Association on Earth."

Lin Yun said to Chen Lin, "The Red Dragon Association has 15 billion members, but there are already 80 billion people on the entire planet (this is the setting in the novel, don't apply it to reality). Even though many people died in the White Eagle Association's civil war, their total population has only decreased by one-sixth, and the remaining people in the world are billion!"

"I think it's quite possible to build a single space elevator project for six billion people."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, Chen Lin couldn't help but refute: "Why would the association build a space elevator for these people for free..."

“Who said it’s free?”

Lin Yun said with a smile on his face: "It's not the time for the association to be a sucker. We will charge fees when necessary and take land when necessary. If you want to use these equipment, you have to pay the actual price. Although we are focusing on the origin star now, we still have to maintain the self-circulation of the mother star Earth."

Chen Lin frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds, then gave Lin Yun a thumbs up: "Great!"

"There's nothing wrong with combining our two ideas. The debate on the relevant content is still going on within the association. I'm afraid it will last for a while. Let's see how the association adjusts the voices of both parties. Maybe it's you who said it, maybe it's me who said it. No one can tell for sure."

The two of them ended the topic. Little Chen Xiao suddenly pointed to the distance. Chen Lin saw a car parked in the distance and an old acquaintance got out of the car. (End of this chapter)
