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 do with him at this time, he still had to answer the call.

"agree."

After choosing to connect, the next second you see the virtual projection of the original star child, 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 without waiting for Mr. Qin to 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 of time, 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 me, 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 will take the initiative to ask.

Hearing this, Mr. Qin didn't show any concern. He only saw his virtual figure's lips slightly 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 no choice but to abandon the mission and let the astronauts return to the lunar module early and return home. At the same time, they gave 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 Tripp's reluctance, he finally made a call to the Imperial Capital.

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

After all, this is their usual approach.

First, try your best to suppress them, and 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 ingrained 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 it 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 and future technology has 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 directly and categorically: "The space elevator project is now very mature and does not require the intervention of other outsiders."

"With your words, I feel relieved." 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, as an artificial island near the equator, Dentian Island was considered 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 Star Child really takes action, he 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 Sky Island and the space elevator, he still doesn't want the world to fall into chaos. If it is really hit, he can't absolutely guarantee that he will be able to turn the tide.

Mainly it will kill people.

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

After finishing the matters 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 Star Child 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, it also announced the cost of Star Child's body 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 heartfelt heated discussion. 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 the 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 booth.

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

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

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

Suddenly the light of 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 transfers the technical knowledge involved into his mind, he only needs to copy it to make it work.

But if it is purely a technology, then we need to carefully consider how to apply it.

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? "
Chapter completed!
