The End of Technology - Chapter 240 Grand Ceremony
The entire Ning family and Ning Zi’s father-in-law and mother-in-law boarded the spacecraft on time at seven o’clock.
Then Lu Xiaoya went shopping with Ning Xiao and Yu Lin. The adults of the two families also knew that Ning Zi would be very busy today, so they also took the initiative to have free time. In fact, there is no need for Ning Zi to accompany him. There are many places for entertainment in this big spaceship. After all, the Wu Gang will be floating in space for a long time in the future. People are prone to various psychological problems in a relatively closed environment, so various entertainment facilities are naturally full.
The staff on the ship must be able to find something to do during their vacation. They will get tired of watching space for too long. Of course, if you really want to say it, life on the Wu Gang is definitely more comfortable than on those ocean-going ships. The only problem is that there are too few people qualified to work on the Wu Gang at this stage.
Sailors on ocean-going ships can work for half a year and take half a year off. The staff on the Wu Gang may need to stay on the ship for two or three years before disembarking and taking a year and a half off.
So for those who are boarding the boat for the first time, they can have a lot of fun by just arranging any staff to take them with them. If Ning Zi really wanted to follow him, he would still appear to be in the way, making it difficult for people to let him go.
After all, Ning Zi’s status lies there.
To Ning Zi’s relief, although there was no communication between father and son, he could see that his father Ning Kang’s mood was quite stable. It seemed that the uncle’s psychological massage last night was good. In the past, Ning Zi was not very supportive of her father and uncle always drinking, but now it doesn’t matter. Nanorobots can repair liver damage, and the two old men drink pretty good wine.
After everyone was settled, Ning Zi also calmed down and returned to the control tower from the reception room. Only he and the kitten were left again.
People with secrets are always lonely.
Especially when the secret cannot be shared even with those closest to you.
Fortunately, March’s existence is a good secret. After all, it not only arranges everything properly, but also allows for barrier-free communication. At least having someone to talk to when you feel lonely is definitely a very lucky thing. There was no need to fear the kitten revealing his thoughts to anyone after all.
Especially when you feel stressed, chatting with the cutie in March can always make you feel better.
“Meow, after you touched the woman you love, you didn’t strike while the iron was hot and take her shopping. Instead, you came here to stay alone. So human love will really change, right?”
Ning Zi regretted it slightly. Yue Yue was a good partner, but many times, its way of thinking and speaking were also very strange.
“Is this something you should be thinking about today?”
“Meow, what else? There is a saying that people born in blessings don’t know their blessings. Do you know how helpless a cat like me is, who obviously has feelings but is destined to never have love in his life?”
Ning Zi turned her head and looked at March…
He couldn’t answer this.
“Meow, okay, I know I can’t blame you, and of course I can’t blame my master. After all, who would have thought that artificial intelligence would also have love needs? But I am still a little bit unhappy. Remember? When you When you were in the restless period of youth, I once advised you to cut off the area directly, so that you would never have troubles and still be like me, but it’s a pity that you refused. Meow…”
Ning Zi silently hugged March, still very surprised in her heart. She couldn’t believe that at such an important moment today, this kitten suddenly went into heat.
“Meow, so tell me, Ning Zi, do you regret it?”
“What do you regret?”
“Meow, of course I didn’t use the liquid nitrogen method back then to cut off the part that bothered you.”
“No, I think life is very good now. Besides, I still love my wife, but the way of love is different from what you understand. I told you to watch less of those messy love movies. Otherwise, I will cut off your calculations. force.”
“Meow, I haven’t studied any romance movies recently. In fact, I have read novels. Do you know? You are very similar to the domineering president portrayed in those words.”
“Say something serious.”
“Meow, as of 7:40 this morning, your student Chen Luo has received a total of 13.7 billion unsolicited scientific research funds from 32 big shots, and he has no signs of running away with the money. Look, this shows that Chen Luo is a good boy with firm beliefs.”
“…Did you really ask Zhuo Mingqian to ask Chen Luo to do that?”
“Meow, because you rejected the proposal to directly auction the biochips.”
“That’s because we had an agreement before, they did that for us, and we included them in the Phase 3 trial.”
“Meow, look, you are being pedantic again. At this critical moment, we cannot waste resources on some people who are accustomed to waste. And I have already spent all this money.”
What is the extreme operation of funds?
This is probably it.
The money has already been spent by this cat before it is received. Who can I ask to explain this? Of course, this is also because Ning Zi is too lazy to take care of finances, so his authorization in the financial area is the most thorough. After all, this cat is really not corrupt.
“Okay, anything else?”
“Meow, next I can help you with some psychological counseling so that you can adapt to today’s big scene.”
“No need, let’s start reviewing today’s celebration. You can do the simulation again and there won’t be any problems today.”
“Meow, okay, all the data has been imported, let’s take a look at the wonderful final simulation results. Really, today will be a monument to human civilization, we have once again created history!”
…
Classmate Chen Luo was the twelfth batch to board the Wu Gang.
Using the Dragonfly spacecraft as a ferry vehicle, it can transport about 800 people at a time.
But considering the comfort and the fact that there are two boarding ports, the final option was to carry 500 people at a time. Coupled with the double-sided six-door design of the Dragon Spaceship, it is enough to ensure that all guests invited to attend this grand ceremony will be sent to the Wu Gang at ten o’clock.
There were many media broadcasting the Wu Gang launch ceremony this time. But there is no need to set up too many cameras, and the media itself is not allowed to set up cameras inside the Wu Gang. However, all the media directors who have obtained the broadcast rights boarded the ship last night and became familiar with the locations of various surveillance cameras on the ship.
At the same time, Wu Gang also provided these media with professionally equipped director rooms to ensure the broadcast effect on TV or the Internet. It’s just past eight o’clock now, and many media people who have been prepared are also wandering around the ship at this time, experiencing the pinnacle of human technology, so the Wu Gang is already extremely lively at this time.
Many of the highlighted locations already have the feel of holiday attractions.
Chen Luo is like this, he basically goes wherever the excitement is. It’s not really that Chen Luo particularly likes noisy and lively environments, but that he feels that he needs to use this worldly noise to calm his mood. From the words alone, you really can’t experience what it feels like for a young man in his twenties to suddenly have tens of billions more in his card.
Chen Luo is someone who has seen money, but he has never seen so much money.
His father is a businessman. When he was very young, Chen Luo heard his father talk about many things about the business field at the dinner table. In his understanding, even a listed company often wants to raise hundreds of millions. More than one billion, it will take some time to prepare.
The movement of large sums of money often makes the market sensitive and triggers a series of problems. The size of the problem, in turn, depends on where the money is flowing. Not to mention that a large amount of money was directly transferred into his personal bank card account.
But that’s where the problem lies.
Such a huge amount of money was credited to his card one after another, and he didn’t even receive a call from the bank to inquire. This was outrageous. He still remembers the time when his father received a payment of more than 10 million yuan in one go. Someone from the bank called and asked a few questions. He added up to hundreds of millions and hundreds of millions in cash that night. In the card, no one came to ask what was going on. It was a bit of a bully.
At a certain moment, he actually had the urge to take the money and run away. After all, there is so much money, enough for several lifetimes.
Fortunately, this idea was suppressed as soon as it popped into my mind.
After all, this is the money Director Ning used to build a big spaceship. Not to mention that Chen Luo knew very well that with the importance the base received and his investigative capabilities, he would be captured even if he went to the North Pole. The most important thing is that the bank card is still in his possession, which speaks volumes.
Director Zhuo is not afraid of him running away at all!
In the end, Chen Luo could only lament that the rich people in this world are really capable of being willful.
Fortunately, Director Ning was there to restrain them.
Yes, even if they were restrained, otherwise Chen Luo really couldn’t figure out why these people would give him money so happily.
He was thinking about all this, but his eyes suddenly spotted a familiar figure. This made Chen Luo excited for a moment, and he subconsciously shouted: “Cao Zhe, are you coming up too?”
“Hi, Chen Luo, are you here? Well, I came up last night to make preparations. I am the reporter who wants to be on camera during the live broadcast. By the way, Chen Luo, can you contact your mentor? If you can We will do another exclusive interview on the ship, and the ratings will definitely explode, and maybe I can compete for the position of producer after I return.”
After seeing Chen Luo, Cao Zhe was obviously more excited than Chen Luo.
After all, being able to conduct an exclusive interview with Ning Jie at this time is indeed beneficial to Cao Zhe’s promotion.
But Chen Luo just rolled his eyes obviously: “Don’t make trouble, do you think Director Ning still has time to accept an exclusive interview before the ceremony officially starts?”
Although he did have a way to contact Ning Zi, Chen Luo obviously would not be so ignorant.
After all, the instructor gave him his contact information to facilitate communication and allow him to learn more, not to make him annoying.
“Isn’t there still two hours until the official start? I only need fifteen minutes, no, maybe five minutes is enough.”
“He also said that our friends have nothing to do.”
“Okay, I’m overthinking it. Why don’t we take a walk together? I’ll hear later that the engineers who built the Wu Gang will also come on board one after another. If you meet someone you are familiar with, it’s okay to say something nice to them and let them accept an exclusive interview. Right? Your mentor also asked you to help me complete the filming of this documentary.”
“Reporter Cao, your many demands have made the relationship between us impure.”
“Haha, Chen Luo, don’t say that. I will stay at the base for about a week after the ceremony. I will pay for your meals in the canteen.”
“If you want to say that, then our friendship is strong again. Come on, I will take you to the engineer’s favorite place.”
“Oh? Where is it?”
“Hey, you’ll know when you go there.”
…
“Ning Jie, is this the command center of the Wu Gang?”
“Well, I’m used to calling this the command tower.”
“Almost, almost. Anyway, you really succeeded. Congratulations, Ning Zi.”
“Same joy, same joy.”
…
In the command room, Ning Zi was entertaining the most important guest of this grand ceremony, or in a sense, he could also be called a member of the host.
The Wu Gang was able to take off so quickly because of the great efforts of this old man. This ship is not just a simple investment of trillions of funds, but also requires the unconditional cooperation of nearly three complete industrial systems. Without the personal intervention of the old man in front of him, even if the base created miracles one after another, it would not be possible for the major manufacturers and industrial groups in the entire upstream and downstream to have such cohesion.
After all, it involves a trillion-level investment, and the interests involved are too huge.
Even if March can be planned perfectly to ensure reasonable profit margins on the upstream and downstream production lines, in a market-oriented environment, reasonable profit margins itself is a false concept.
The cake is placed there, and everyone wants to get more. At the same time, everyone thinks that they should get more. Whether it is people or companies, when thinking about similar problems, they will unconsciously think that their own efforts are more than others. This obviously cannot be said to be wrong, because it is difficult to survive in the fierce market competition if they don’t think so.
The Wu Gang involves millions of parts. In China alone, it involves seven industrial groups, thousands of companies, and dozens of companies including China Nuclear Industry Group, China Datang Industrial Group, and China High-Precision Technology Co., Ltd. Ten thousand specific supporting factories and nearly one million production lines are deployed.
We really need to slowly negotiate one contract after another. The Wu Gang project is probably still in the project establishment stage.
So the ability to concentrate on doing big things can be used, but it cannot be used without it, because it is really important.
At least that’s what Ning Zi thought at this time.
“By the way, I’ve seen today’s celebration process. Will we go directly into space after liftoff today? Are you sure there won’t be any problems?”
“Please rest assured that we have been testing for a full month and have designed enough redundancy in terms of safety issues. The possibility of something going wrong with the Wu Gang is less than one in 100,000. Even if there is a small accident, there will be one An engineering team of hundreds of engineers and hundreds of robots handles the problem in a timely manner.
As for major issues that may involve the safety of the entire ship, it is probably one in a billion. Even if there is an irreversible problem in a certain part, the Wu Gang can be decomposed in time. To ensure safety, there are also two Longxiang ships on board that also support space navigation and thousands of survival capsules. How can I put it, even on the interstellar battlefield, I am not too worried about safety issues. “
“Haha, okay, okay, the comrade in charge of safety also advised me to get off the ship before taking off. I said that the safety performance of our products made by China must pass the standard! In this way, I am looking forward to the formal ceremony. First, by the way, I heard that new technology was also used in today’s ceremony?”
“Yes, a total of 6,688 holograms were installed on the Wu Gang…”
“Hey, don’t introduce this. I want to see with my own eyes how this ceremony is completed… That’s it. Why don’t you take me to see it first?”
“good!”
