I kidnapped an alien civilization

The Mars base plan is a very large project. Although its technical difficulty is not as high as that of the spacecraft project, its complexity is far beyond that of the spacecraft project.

According to the technology mastered by Mozi Technology, it is not difficult to build a Mars base. After all, the Navigator is enough to ensure that three astronauts can live on Mars for two months.

But how to build a sustainable large-scale base is very difficult.

In Li Mo's plan, the Mars base to be established is not only a scientific research base, but also bears the responsibility of the continuation of the human race. After the human homeland on Earth suffered a sudden blow, the remaining humans in the Mars base will become the only hope for the continuation of race and civilization.

Due to the problem of genetic assimilation, in order to ensure genetic diversity, the number of people that the base can carry must reach the minimum number of people for racial reproduction.

Under the premise of ensuring genetic diversity, the minimum number of reproduction of a mammal species without degeneration is 4,000. Below this number, the genetic diversity of offspring after several generations will be reduced, and the entire population will degenerate.

Therefore, Li Mo's ideal Mars base can support the survival and reproduction of at least 4,000 Earth humans. Looking at the number 4000 from the perspective of the earth, it is not a lot, maybe it is just the number of people in a small school.

But the surface of Mars is barren and lacks everything needed for life. Under such circumstances, the Mars base plan has become a project that seems difficult to achieve.

It has been two full months since the project was established, and the project team composed of 150 elite geoscientists has not even produced the most basic design plan.

Li Mo knew that this could not blame them for their incompetence, it was because the project was too complicated, so every meeting, besides discussing the solution together, was to encourage and encourage those team members who were almost in despair.

Today, Li Mo didn't have much time to encourage these scientists who looked very frustrated, because he still had an important meeting to attend, which was a top auction held by Dotheby's.

In fact, Li Mo has never been to any auction since he was a child. A work of art is the crystallization of the artist's intellectual labor and has a unique aesthetic feeling, but he will not spend tens or even millions of dollars for this beauty. After all, no matter how wonderful a work of art is in his eyes, it is just the product of pressing plant fibers, firing clay, and refining copper ore, and it does not have the beauty of science at all.

The reason why he made an exception to participate this time is because he wants to make money, or make a lot of money!

Since Li Mo was crowned as a scientist, he has truly become a pure person with only two hobbies.

The first is scientific research, and the mysteries of the universe fascinate him deeply.

The second is to make money. Most scientific research projects are money-burning machines. Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory now needs to consume the electricity bill of a house in Yanjing every day. Without the support of sufficient material resources, no matter how good a scientist is, it is difficult to live without rice.

This Dobby's auction is specifically for him to make money. And according to experts from the auction house, if Li Mo appeared at the venue in person, the auction price would be at least 30% higher.

This also made him, who was about to launch a huge spending plan, a little bit interested.

Dotheby's is the largest auction house in Huaguo, with a history of more than a hundred years. In the art exchange circle, Dotheby's is synonymous with genuine products.

This is very important, because the line has the line rules. In the art trading industry, sellers will not guarantee the authenticity of artworks, and they even have a term for the collection behavior of accidentally buying fakes, which is called punching. As the name suggests, it is the buyer who has made a mistake and should hit his own eyes, which has nothing to do with the seller.

Therefore, most savvy collectors have a pair of golden eyes. However, with the development of science and technology, forgery technology is increasing day by day, and even carbon 14, a high-tech means of identifying cultural relics, has corresponding cracking means, and golden eyes have become eyes.

In this way, in the literature and art trading market, a strange phenomenon appeared. The sellers swore that the porcelain bowls in their hands belonged to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but the buyers were afraid that they would buy last week.

At this time, the golden signboard of Dufubi, a century-old store, is particularly important, but there are advantages and disadvantages. Behind this kind of reputation guarantee is the high handling fee! Very expensive!

At the same time, this expensive handling fee has also earned Dolby a lot of money. Otherwise, how could their headquarters be located in the most luxurious CBD area in Yanjing?

When Li Mo stepped on the white marble floor, two slender female staff members had already approached, bowing slightly: Mr. Li, welcome to Dotheby's Auction House.

Li Mo took the handbag containing the auction item from Zhou Dong. This young man named Zhou Dong was the new assistant and bodyguard he personally selected, and he was also a retired soldier from the black uniform.

Mr. Li, my name is Xie An. I'm the vice president of Duofubi and your auction consultant this time. Li Mo was about to thank you when a middle-aged man with well-groomed hair and a navy blue suit appeared. the door.

Sure enough, he is professional enough. He believes that the vice president must have been waiting for a long time.

Mr. Xie, thank you!

Please call me Professor. Li Mo may be assimilated by the ivory tower, and he is not used to the common address of Mr.

Xie An smiled: Okay, Professor Li.

The auction is about to start, aren't we?

Li Mo understood what he meant, patted the handbag with his hands, and under the guidance of Miss Manners, he stepped into the Du Fubi headquarters.

simple

Compared with the luxurious decoration outside the building, this place looks extremely simple.

Li Mo did not expect that this auction company, which smells of money even in the air it breathes, would be so simple. There are several printed landscape paintings hanging on the wall, and two imitation blue and white porcelain retorts with a height of more than one meter are placed on the ground. Only a few golden characters on the plaque behind the reception desk can show its true identity.

The owner of the hall didn't feel any embarrassment at all because of this simplicity, but instead looked happy: Professor Li, as of now, more than 20 guests have come to the auction.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment:

More than 20 people?

is it a lot?

He didn't know where the joyful look on the face of the vice president of Doufubi came from. Could it be that Doufuby's century-old store is also planning to open a black hole?

There are more than 7 billion people on the earth, and 20 people are not worth mentioning.

oh

You seem to have misunderstood. Xie An has been in the auction industry for more than 30 years. Since he took over his father's mantle and entered this industry, his father, who has worked hard for most of his life, was relieved and taught him his life's hard work. That is a sentence: The auction house auctions people's hearts. If you understand people's hearts, You can get a foothold in this industry.”

For thirty years, Xie An has always kept this maxim in mind. In order to better guess the guests' hearts, he even obtained a master's degree in psychology. Of course, God always favors talented and hardworking people. Xie Anneng ascended to the high position of vice president at the age of less than 50. This motto is indisputable.

Naturally, he was keenly aware of the dissatisfaction in the professor's tone.
