My science and technology museum

"These are the seafood we caught near Dengtian Island. We will share them with the people in the company so that everyone can have a taste."

Binjiang City.

Longhu High-tech Park.

Xu Lei, who had just returned from the sea, pointed to the aquatic product boxes being unloaded and explained to Chen Shihe who came over specially to greet him.

After finishing the affairs on Dentian Island, Xu Lei delayed his departure for another two days.

Because there was a lot of seafood caught there, he was a little reluctant to leave it all on the island, so he simply brought it back to provide benefits to the company's employees. After all, in a way, it was no different from him going on vacation this time.

Chen Shihe will naturally take care of everything assigned by Xu Lei seriously and responsibly.

After hearing this command, he did not forget to answer.

"Okay Mr. Xu, I will arrange these things properly."

The seafood issue could only be regarded as a minor incident for Xu Lei. Of course, he couldn't spend too much time on it. Then he went to the office and asked Chen Shihe about the company's status during this period.

"How is the company doing these days when I'm away?"

"After the end of the cable project, the company's product production capacity has basically returned to its previous level. Smart medical cabins and nano-medical robots are still in short supply, and the market scope has covered overseas countries of all sizes."

"Vice President Lu and Vice President Jia are responsible for all the business operations going very smoothly." Chen Shihe was obviously well prepared and answered questions very smoothly.

Xu Lei knew that when the company was making space elevator cables, in order to complete it within the expected time, it could be said that it concentrated most of the company's resources, which led to a significant decrease in the production efficiency of the company's other products.

Now that the super project of the space elevator has been successfully concluded, the issue of production capacity has naturally been effectively restored.

In addition, Xu Lei trusts the abilities of Lu Hongbo, Jia Zhongjie, Zhang Xia and others.

What's more, the current future technology is already a behemoth, which is equivalent to a train moving at high speed on the railway track. There are already mature operating procedures among various departments, so let alone the fact that he has not been in the company for more than half a month, even if it takes a little longer. , there will be no problems within the company.

He still has this bit of self-confidence.

The reason why I asked Chen Shihe specifically was more to find a topic to lighten the atmosphere.

Soon after returning to his office, Xu Lei also had a strange feeling. He didn't know if it was because he was too stressed out during his stay on Dengtian Island, so that he felt extremely at ease and contented at this moment.

After all, whether it is the splicing and operation test of the main body of the space elevator, or the subsequent manned landing on the moon to build the Guanghan Palace lunar base, they are all very important strategic projects. Since he is appointed as the person in charge, he must be given a high score. Spirit.

In addition, I stayed up all night, so it was normal to be more tiring than staying at the company.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to leave all the follow-up matters to Wu Chuping in time and ran back, otherwise he would have turned gray in a few months.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, do you want to hold a company meeting?" Chen Shihe came over with a cup of tea and brought Xu Lei back to reality: "I'll contact other people in the company."

Under normal circumstances, when the company boss comes back from being away for a while, he will basically hold a company meeting to let the staff report on the recent decisions made by the company, so Chen Shihe took the initiative to bring it up after thinking about this.

But in fact, with Xingtong here, Xu Lei can basically know about the company's affairs at the first time, so there is no need to hold a report meeting.

What's more, for Xu Lei, nothing is more important than waiting for the exhibits to be unlocked.

After the live broadcast of the moon landing, his total influence has reached more than 4.9 million, and he is just on the verge of unlocking new products at the Science and Technology Museum.

It just so happened that he stayed on Dentian Island for two more days, and he should have almost reached the critical point now.

However, just when Xu Lei was about to control his consciousness and enter the hall of the Science and Technology Museum to check the specific changes in influence, he noticed that Chen Shihe's expression looked a little weird at this time, as if there was something else in his heart that he wanted to say but he didn't dare to say it.

Thinking about Chen Shihe's character, he shouldn't be so coy. So Xu Lei simply postponed entering the Science and Technology Museum for the time being, and then asked Chen Shihe directly.

"Let's talk about anything else. Do we still need to be so polite between us?"

Chen Shihe obviously didn't expect Xu Lei to notice the change in her facial expression. She was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses and looked a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's just a small thing, but it's related to Xingtong." , I originally planned to wait until you, Mr. Xu, have a rest before reporting."

For Chen Shihe, she basically treats Xu Lei as her own family.

Thinking that Xu Lei had just completed two major strategic projects on Dengtian Island, he should rest and recuperate before returning, so he did not directly explain the matter.

But when Xu Lei heard these words, he was curious: "Is it related to Xingtong?"

"Tell me."

In the final analysis, Xingtong is just the brain of the company. Even though he now has a mechanical body, he still does not belong to the category of human beings.

Besides, Xingtong had been staying with him on Dengtian Island during this period. Xu Lei really didn't expect anything to happen to her.

But since it was brought up by Chen Shihe, it means that this matter has indeed had a certain impact, otherwise people in the company should have solved it properly long ago.

Seeing that this incident had successfully aroused Xu Lei's curiosity, Chen Shihe no longer deliberately concealed it.

But instead of reporting directly to Xu Lei, she took out a holographic intelligent quantum terminal and handed it to Xu Lei.

As the holographic screen appeared in his field of vision, Xu Lei immediately noticed that it was an article by Zhihu. Originally, this was a normal thing, but because the account that published this article was owned by Xingtong, its nature was Something has changed.

After browsing carefully, Xu Lei felt that his head was full of black lines and his heart was speechless.

It turned out that when he took Xing Tong, Gu San, Lin Cheng Fei and the others to the Dengtian Island, they accidentally entered the live broadcast room. This made Xing Tong's appearance successfully arouse the curiosity of the audience.

I don’t quite understand why there are real people and futuristic technology avatars that look exactly the same.

A few days ago, because it was the space elevator splicing operation test and the moon landing live broadcast, everyone's focus was on these two things, so Xingtong faded out of sight.

But there are always people with deeper memories.

So after the live broadcast of the moon landing ended, many people paid attention to Xingtong's identity again and wanted to investigate the real situation.

At this time, someone thought of the Zhihu account managed by Xingtong himself.

I still remember when Xingtong was first born, in order to obtain various types of information to help himself learn and grow, he registered accounts on many websites and penguin groups.

In addition, this account often releases some insider information about future technology that the outside world does not know, so it is gradually regarded as an insider by everyone. Anyone who wants to know something comes here to ask for advice.

However, because Xingtong has grown to an unimaginable height, there is no need to use this method to obtain information, which means that the account has not updated content for a long time.

I don't know if it was because the things everyone asked about this time were related to herself, so Xingtong specially wrote an article to introduce her mechanical body in detail in a flamboyant manner.

Everyone was originally guessing who the beauty next to Mr. Xu was and why she had the same appearance as the future technological virtuality.

After suddenly knowing that the other party's true identity was a robot, the whole person immediately became excited. They left messages on the official account of Future Technology, begging Future Technology to mass-produce this robot.

Mainly, no one expected that Future Technology could secretly achieve this level in the field of simulated robots, and they would look no different from real people in appearance.

Faced with such a beautiful and safe beauty robot, who wouldn’t want to own it?

"It's actually a simulated robot, damn!"

"This is almost to the point where it is fake and real, okay? Future Technology is already researching this technology."

"I was wondering how could someone look exactly like the avatar. It turned out to be a body created by machinery, but there is a saying that this body actually smells good."

"Where can I buy it?"

"I really want to buy one and take it home. I heard it has very strong combat power and should be able to protect me."

"Do you want to be protected? I'm embarrassed to tell you."

"Ten thousand people wrote in blood, begging Mr. Xu to mass produce."

"Although there is a high probability that I should not be able to afford it, it does not prevent me from supporting mass production."

…

After Xu Lei roughly read the article, he glanced at the comments from netizens and didn't know what to say for a while.

But the mass production requested by netizens is definitely impossible to achieve.

After all, the materials used in Xingtong's body area are quite special. The alloy material used for the bones is fine. The key is the special highly malleable material of the muscle and skin tissue. Not only is the synthesis extremely difficult, but the failure rate is also very high.

Therefore, the cost of building Xingtong's body is as high as tens of millions.

There is really no need for mass production.

It's just that netizens are discussing this matter right now, and no matter what decision is made, a statement must be made.

But before that, you need to ask Xingtong clearly.

Since Xing Tong's simulated robot was not in the office for the time being, when Xu Lei woke it up, he saw a three-dimensional virtual projection of Xing Tong appearing in front of his desk.

"boss."

"Did you send out Zhihu's article about the company's simulation robot?" Xu Lei asked about it directly without any mincing words.

"Yes boss."

"I'm promoting the power of my company's technology to them, and you're not prohibiting me from doing that."

Xingtong did not think that she had done anything wrong in this matter, but instead explained what she had done with an expression that asked for praise.

Xu Lei was immediately choked up when he heard this, and thought about it carefully, he did not prohibit Xingtong from exposing the simulated robot to the outside world, not to mention that this incident did not have much impact.

Just as I was thinking about these things, I heard Chen Shihe next to me suddenly speak out and say: "Mr. Xu, since things have become like this, let's answer it with an official statement."

"Just do as you say, but the cost of the simulated robot must be clearly marked."

After figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, Xu Lei didn't want to waste too much time on it, so he agreed directly after hearing Chen Shihe's proposal.

But just when Xu Lei was about to turn off Xingtong's projection and continue to do his own business, a familiar voice sounded in the office again.

"Boss, Mr. Qin would like to speak to you."

"Mr. Qin is looking for me?"

Hearing that Mr. Qin suddenly wanted to talk to him, Xu Lei subconsciously sat up straight. Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to see him for at this time, he still had to answer the call.

"agree."

After choosing to connect, the next second I saw the virtual projection of Xing Tong directly transformed into Mr. Qin.

At this moment, Chen Shihe who was next to him silently turned around and left.

Obviously he didn't want to disturb the conversation between Xu Lei and Mr. Qin.

"Mr. Qin suddenly contacted me at this time. Did something happen and you need my help?" Xu Lei asked before Mr. Qin could speak first, with some curiosity in his eyes.

The first time I met Mr. Qin was when the Longhu Light Quantum Computer first appeared. For this reason, he won the highest technology award and went to the imperial capital to attend the award ceremony. Therefore, Xu Lei still respected this old man with a special status.

Mainly during this period, he and Mr. Qin had only rarely spoken to each other, and they had never met each other offline.

Now that Mr. Qin is taking the initiative to contact him, there must be something more important that needs to be dealt with urgently.

If future technology is within the affordable range, Xu Lei doesn't mind selling favors to help others solve problems, so he takes the initiative to ask.

When Mr. Qin heard this, he didn't show any concern. He only saw his virtual figure's lips lightly opening, and he immediately expressed his intention.

"Just today we received a call from General Tripp's office. The other party requested to jointly conduct research on the space elevator project with us, citing the previously signed cooperation and mutual assistance agreement."

According to Tripp's previous plan, he wanted to use the base on the moon to gain leverage for himself.

Then negotiate with Yan Fang about the space elevator.

As a result, the temporary base suddenly malfunctioned on the moon, causing the oxygen supply system to fail.

In this case, they had to abandon the mission and let the astronauts return to the lunar module early, which was equivalent to giving up the so-called bargaining chip.

Knowing that he could no longer compete with Yan Fang in the aerospace field, and to ensure that he would not be left too far behind, he had no choice but to actively choose to cooperate, so despite his reluctance, Tripp finally made a call to the Imperial Capital.

After hearing what Mr. Qin said, Xu Lei's expression didn't change much, and he was obviously not surprised by this.

After all, this is what they have always done.

First, try every means to suppress them. When you see that you can't defeat them, you will beg for nothing and threaten to cooperate.

But if one day they master more advanced technology, they will definitely kick their partners away and continue their hegemonic behavior.

Don't expect them to change if they have such a force that is imprinted in their bones.

The best way is to completely trample it under your feet and never give it a chance to stand up.

So from this aspect, Xu Lei doesn't really want to cooperate with overseas forces on his own space elevator project, because in a way it is similar to picking peaches.

What does normal cooperation look like?

That should be a joint effort by both parties to participate in research and development, and ultimately complete the entire project together.

Now that the space elevator has been built and is in stable operation, why should others step in and share the results?

However, considering that Future Technology only owned half of the ownership, Xu Lei did not refuse directly, but tentatively asked for more information: "Then I don't know what the above means?"

"I already knew what you were thinking." Mr. Qin smiled, as if he had seen through Xu Lei: "Don't worry, since the space elevator is a project proposed by Future Technology, and now that this super project has been successfully completed, is it still possible? We need partners or future technology to have the final say.”

After hearing what Mr. Qin said, Xu Lei smiled.

And laughed very happily.

Because Mr. Qin has made it very clear that the higher-ups always support the choice of future technology.

After confirming the direction of this matter, Xu Lei naturally did not hesitate anymore and expressed his attitude categorically: "The space elevator project is now very mature and does not require the intervention of other outsiders."

"I feel relieved with your words." Mr. Qin nodded happily.

Perhaps Mr. Qin had guessed Xu Lei's final choice before the call was connected, so he had no objection to the answer and ended the call on his own initiative.

When Mr. Qin's virtual projection completely disappeared from sight, Xu Lei sighed slightly.

"I'm afraid the next few days won't be peaceful!"

This time, Tripp was not given any face and refused to intervene in the space elevator project. No one could guarantee that the other party would not jump over the wall in a hurry.

Take the risk and launch an attack on Dentian Island.

However, Dentian Island, as an artificial island near the equator, had this aspect in mind at the beginning of its design. After all, it is close to the high seas and is extremely vulnerable to attack.

Therefore, in addition to an aircraft carrier fleet dedicated to ensuring the safety of Landing Island, it is also equipped with sixth-generation Ghost Bird fighter jets, and the quantum relay station has already penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. If it really takes action, Xingtong can attack its various targets in the shortest time. equipment.

Even if they choose to attack the quantum relay station, they may not have enough time.

It's just that although Xu Lei is not worried about the safety of the Landing Island and the space elevator, he still does not want the world to fall into chaos. If it is really hit, he cannot absolutely guarantee that he will be able to turn the tide.

Mainly this will kill people.

But now all he can do is take one step at a time.

After finishing the things at hand, Xu Lei was too lazy to think about these complicated things. He quickly checked the growth of his influence before getting down to business.

So Xu Lei immediately controlled his consciousness and entered the hall of the Science and Technology Museum.

…

…

Let’s talk about Chen Shihe.

After receiving Xu Lei's instructions, she immediately started taking action.

Finally, an explanation of Xingtong's situation was released on the official media account of Future Technology. In addition to pointing out that the company has no plans to enter the field of simulation robots for the time being, the cost of Xingtong's body was also announced in detail.

As soon as this announcement was issued, it quickly hit the hot search list on the platform, causing many people to feel extremely sad.

I originally thought that the robot girlfriend in science fiction movies would become a reality, but it turned out that there was no way to mass-produce it.

Especially the cost of tens of millions is even more prohibitive.

"It's a pity that such powerful simulation robot technology is not mass-produced. I've been looking forward to it for the past two days."

"No wonder it looks so fake on the outside. The cost of the materials alone is so high. Even if it costs tens of millions to actually make it, not many people can afford it."

"Everyone should disperse."

"Actually, I think this is a good thing. If simulation robots enter the market without a mature management system, I am afraid it will cause social unrest."

"What a shame!"

"It's actually an official announcement from Future Technology. When I first saw Zhihu's article, I thought it was nonsense."

Faced with such a result, netizens stopped paying too much attention to this matter after a heated discussion from the heart. After all, most people have a clear understanding of themselves, knowing that this level of simulation robots are not the same as themselves. Relationship, why waste your time paying too much attention to it.

Naturally, Xu Lei didn't know what was happening online at this moment, because he was standing in front of a booth in the hall of the Science and Technology Museum.

That's right.

With the popularity of the two global live broadcasts a few days ago, he successfully brought a lot of influence to him. Coupled with the discussion about the space elevator on the Internet after returning from the Sky Island, his influence finally reached 5 million. point.

As soon as his consciousness entered the museum hall, he noticed the familiar shining booths.

Xu Lei knew that this was the behavior before the exhibits were unlocked, so when he walked to the booth, he was ready to manually unlock the exhibits inside.

“I don’t know what exactly I can unlock, it’s really exciting!”

At this moment, Xu Lei was muttering secretly in his heart, and decisively stretched out his right hand to cover the information screen next to him.

Suddenly the light on the booth stopped flashing, and a complex virtual model gradually emerged. When he noticed the things appearing on the booth, Xu Lei was stunned for a moment and then realized that the exhibits unlocked this time were not real objects. If nothing else happened, If so, it most likely belongs to the technical category.

The exhibits unlocked several times before, whether they are smart medical cabins, nano-medical robots, or the recently completed space elevator, are all very mature products.

After he transferred the technical knowledge involved into his mind, he only needed to copy it to make it work.

But if it is purely technical, how to apply it will need to be carefully considered.

After all, when the same technology is used in different fields, the final results obtained will be completely different, and it may even cause negative effects if used improperly.

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Lei began to look forward to the exhibits unlocked this time: "The technology can enter the first-level civilization, and the effect will not be disappointing. I wonder if it has something to do with the evolution of life forms? "

My mind had just reached this point, and after noticing that the template information on the information screen had been updated smoothly, I quickly turned my eyes and looked at it carefully.
