I am a great scientist

Chapter 449 Crisis Arrives ([-])

Federal Calendar: In September 02, the headquarters building of Shining Star Group - Summit of Civilization was officially opened.

Federal calendar: In October 02, the preparatory work for the space dock was completed and the construction officially started.

Federal Calendar: In November 02, after the Xingyao, the Qichen was completed and began to be put into the transportation of resources for the construction of the space dock.

......

Just like the unanimous judgment made by world-renowned economists, experts and professors, with the start of the construction of the space dock and the Panshi, Sky City has suddenly become a gathering place for global resources, attracting global attention.

Sky City not only brought together a large amount of funds and materials from all over the world, it took less than five years, with the support of huge capital and advanced technology, Sky City was built from scratch, and now it is the most magnificent and most A unique city that attracts countless tourists from all over the world.

Thousands of flying 'buses', full of tourists from all over the world, come to see the miracles that human beings are creating.

Inside a blue flying car 'bus' with Jintai International Travel Agency printed on it, the beautiful tour guide - Yang Xiaomei gave a solemn and honest explanation to the group members. "The next scenic spot, I will take you to visit: the ecological park, because the scale of the ecological park is very large, wait a minute, everyone must follow me, don't get lost."

"Haha, Director Yang, don't worry, if you get lost, just ask the service robot and they will definitely find you."

"That's right! There are so many robots here! After all, it is the headquarters of Shining Star Group."

"During this journey, I didn't see many living people in Sky City, and there were machine bumps everywhere."

"You don't understand this, the current height of Sky City: 2700 meters, the outdoor temperature: -11, who will stay outside at this time? Of course we can only see metal bumps!"

"It's too sci-fi, it's almost like a 'future world', I really can't believe that the city in the sky was built in only five years."

"Hehe! You don't even think about who led the project, the project that Shining Star Group did, which one is not a miracle?"

"..."

In the tourist flight 'bus', the group members chatted happily.

This trip to the sky city was a feast for their eyes. Everyone was shocked by the magnificence of the sky city. They were all excited and emotionally excited.

Looking at the excited expressions of the group members, Yang Xiaomei smiled, a little accustomed to it. The Sky City is quite different from other scenic spots and other cities. The Sky City is a crystallization of the top technology of human civilization. The scenery here is everywhere. It reveals the flavor of technology.

The tallest and first tallest building in the world, Shining Star Group Headquarters Building - Top of Civilization, stands in the center of Sky City, Cultural Palace, Aquarium, Sky Garden, ..., various buildings, applying the most cutting-edge technology of mankind technology.

First of all, a large number of new materials have been used in the construction of Sky City: carbon nanotubes, transparent aluminum, airgel insulation materials, temperature-controlled reactive tiles, etc., have played incredible roles in various construction fields. effect.

For example: carbon nanotubes, this material has a higher specific strength than any other material on the earth, and can be stretched more than 100 million times its thickness. Carbon is light in weight and high in strength, so that carbon nanotubes can be embedded in other metals In construction materials such as concrete, wood and glass to increase material density and tensile strength;

Transparent aluminum, using this thin and transparent metal window can withstand the attack of the most advanced gunfire, ..., the largest aquarium in Sky City, a large number of skyscraper window glass, all use this material.

Secondly, the construction steps of Shining Star Group to build Sky City are 'intelligent', 'data-based', 'parameterized', and 'mass customization'. The building structure is broken down into countless small pieces, that is, 'modularization' ', and then 'standardize' each module, and finally build a design platform, form a core database of various module information, intelligently coordinate, arrange production, and finally install hundreds of millions of modules like building blocks one by one.

With the huge construction team of intelligent robots and the full cooperation of the human federal government, in less than five years, Shining Star Group has created the greatest construction miracle in human history.

Just when Yang Xiaomei was distracted, a middle-aged woman suddenly pointed to the car window and shouted with great joy: "Everyone, look out the window!"

Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction the woman was pointing at, and saw a huge spaceship, with the power of a dark cloud cover, swiftly galloping towards their right side, with bursts of 'booming' thunder, coming from Far and near, followed closely behind.

"Wow! It's the Xingyao! It's so spectacular!"

"It's so big! It's so shocking! The effect of the starship seen in the game is simply incomparable!"

"Director Yang, where is it flying!"

"Sure enough, I didn't come in vain. Seeing this scene with my own eyes, this trip is worth the fare."

"..."

The tourists in the carriage saw the spectacular scene of the spaceship descending from the sky at close range, and all of a sudden the crowd became excited, and they couldn't help shouting.

"That's not the Xingyao, that's the recently completed Qichen, which is currently carrying out the mission of delivering materials to the space dock." The tour guide Yang Xiaomei smiled and introduced to the group members.

After a pause, Yang Xiaomin explained to the group members in detail: "Qichen is the same model as Xingyao, with a body length of 320 meters, a tail width of 79.2 meters, a height of 23.7 meters, ..., empty weight: 1.7 tons , load: 80 tons, ..., high-energy ion engine is used, the maximum driving force: 300 billion horsepower, the fastest flight speed can reach 17% of the speed of light, compared with the previous cost of 7000 billion yuan of Xingyao, Qichen The current cost of the spaceship has dropped to 3 billion Chinese yuan. According to the latest news, there are also Liming, Yongxing, Yanhuang, etc., a total of 7 spaceships that will start construction at the same time. They will be able to meet us in a short time. See."

"After visiting the ecological park, our next stop is the resource wharf where the Qichen is moored. At that time, everyone can see the spectacular scene of materials being transported and loaded into the spacecraft." Yang Xiaomei explained with a smile.

"Director Yang, let's go to the pier first! Let's see the ecological park later!"

"That's right, that's right, if Qichen is loaded and takes off, it won't be worth seeing."

"Director Yang, there isn't much to see in the ecological park! Let's look at the spaceship first!"

"..."

As soon as Yang Xiaomei finished speaking, the tourists in the bus immediately became excited and almost unanimously demanded to modify the sightseeing route.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaomei showed a helpless expression, and quickly explained to the group members: "The ecological park is actually very interesting, the soilless cultivation room, the sky garden, the ecological garden,... Every scenic spot is very interesting. It’s worth going, and besides, with the huge cargo capacity of the Qichen, it won’t take off within five hours, and when we finish watching the ecological park, we can just come and watch the Qichen take off, the scene is very spectacular.”

"Director Yang, it's better to look at Qichen first, and it doesn't matter if you don't look at the ecological park."

"Yes, what's so interesting about flowers and plants, we have to look at Qichen first."

"Director Yang, please satisfy everyone's request! We haven't seen a spaceship in the real world yet! It would be bad if we missed it."

"..."

Yang Xiaomei's introduction could not sway anyone, the tourists in the bus were extremely persistent and persuaded one after another.

Customers are God, this kind of travel route is the best choice, but the customers are not willing, facing this situation, what can Yang Xiaomei do.

Yang Xiaomei nodded with a wry smile, and quickly responded: "Okay! Since everyone wants to watch the Qichen, let's revise the itinerary!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Xiaomei swung her right hand, showed the 'photon watch' worn on her wrist, and ordered: "Change the flight route, destination: Dock Resource Wharf."

As soon as Yang Xiaomei finished speaking, the purple light of the silver photon watch flashed, and the electronically synthesized voice replied: "The voiceprint is confirmed, the mission is accepted, and the flight destination is changed: Dock Resource Wharf. Estimated arrival: Arrive in 20 minutes."

Immediately, the unmanned tourist bus slowly turned around in the air and sped towards the location where the "Qi Chen" stopped.

As the distance approached, a spectacular scene immediately caught everyone's eyes.

The huge Qichen stopped under a huge metal platform, and some "tourist buses" floating far away were in front of it, like ants in size, very small.

The giant metal under Qichen, the wharf of 30 square kilometers, can be seen as "hills" piled up by large container houses. On the scene, there are hundreds of giant manipulators, each with [-] Meters long, they grabbed the 'Xiaoshan' lightly, placed large containers one by one on the conveyor belt, and delivered supplies to the Qichen in an endless stream.

Large transport vehicles transporting materials, giant manipulators grabbing containers, engineering robots for maintenance and monitoring, ..., are busy in an orderly manner, and there is only a "sound" of metal collisions in the huge dock area. Together, they are like A labor song with a jaw-droppingly fast tempo.

"It's spectacular! This kind of loading speed is too fast."

"Xingyao Group is amazing, no wonder Sky City can be built so quickly, now I can finally understand."

"According to this efficiency, I believe it won't be long before the moon base, the Mars base, and the space dock will be completed soon!"

"Yes! Then it's time to produce the 'Panshi' mothership! I'm really looking forward to it!"

"..."

The passengers in the bus all stared at the magnificent picture of the "Qichen" loading supplies on the ground, with wide-eyed eyes, and exclamations spread one after another.

Listening to the amazement of the tourists, Yang Xiaomei smiled happily. She no longer needs to explain too much about the situation. Some landscapes can only be appreciated by seeing them with their own eyes, but words are very weak in describing them.

Nearly half an hour passed, and when the tourists calmed down, Yang Xiaomei began to introduce them, saying: "The Qichen ship will take about 80 hours to load 5 tons of supplies. If I go to the ecological park at this time, I am afraid I will miss it." The scene of the "Venus" taking off, so I suggest that everyone first go to the headquarters building of Shining Star Group - "The Summit of Civilization", and then we will come back when the time is almost up."

Hearing this, the tourists nodded their heads one after another. There are so many must-see attractions in Sky City, and they should cherish every minute and every second.

Soon, the tourist bus turned around and drove slowly towards the towering skyscraper in the center of Sky City.

----------

On the top floor of Sky City - 'Top of Civilization', there is a spacious meeting room where a solemn meeting is going on.

Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, Chen Fan and others reported on the recent operation of the group one by one. At the same time, their eyes were on Zhou Xing who was sitting in the chair from time to time, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Outside the window, apart from some tourist flight groups in the distance, there is no attractive scenery. Why does Mr. Zhou keep staring out of the window?

"President Zhou!" Yang Minghua reminded Zhou Xing.

"Hmm! Have you all seen each other?" Zhou Xing came back to his senses, looked at the crowd apologetically, and asked.

Yang Minghua nodded, looked at Zhou Xing and asked with concern: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, do we need to repeat it again?"

Zhou Xing waved his hand: "No, if there is anything unclear, I will ask Xiaozhi."

Zhou Xing looked at everyone with a slightly bewildered look, and asked, "I have encountered a problem, and I hope you can give me some advice."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

Chen Fan stared wide-eyed, and asked puzzledly: "President Zhou, you can't even solve the problem! We,..."

Yang Minghua's spirit was shaken, and he quickly asked: "President Zhou, don't listen to Xiao Chen, just tell me if you have any problems."

Zhou Xing's image in Shining Star Group has always been high. It was only when they approached Zhou Xing for help. He never approached them. Now that the opportunity came, everyone looked at Zhou Xing with high spirits and looked forward to his questions. .

Zhou Xing nodded, followed Yang Minghua's words, and asked everyone: "A difficult choice: Surrender and lose half, or fight hard."

"There are three endings in a fight, one is: the whole army is wiped out, the other is: make a new decision, and the third is to overcome the difficulties and replace you, how do you choose?" Zhou Xing added, looking at the crowd expectantly.

This…….

"Mr. Zhou, if you fight hard, the price of losing is too heavy, and there are three endings. I suggest surrendering and keep the green hills. Don't be afraid of running out of talent!" Chen Fan replied impatiently.

"Well! If it were me, I would have the same choice as Xiao Chen." Xie Liwu frowned and replied to Zhou Xing.

"Mr. Zhou, it's hard to let go of the losing half, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a difficult situation." Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing and asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded with a wry smile. The half that lost is equivalent to half of the world's population. What right does he have to decide their fate!
However, if we try our best, if the detection of alien civilization is discovered, human beings will suffer a catastrophe. Zhou Xing is even more unwilling to bear such a price.

Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing firmly, and replied: "Mr. Zhou, if this is the case, I think we should fight, and fight with sufficient confidence! Nothing is invincible."

"That's right! Mr. Zhou, since it's so difficult to choose, it's better to believe in yourself. I'm on Lao Yang's side." Lin Wei followed suit.

Facing the gazes of Yang Minghua and Lin Wei, Zhou Xing nodded. If he hadn't had the confidence to succeed this time, he would not have considered accepting the task...

Then go for it!Zhou Xing took a deep breath, and his face gradually became resolute.
