The End of Technology - Chapter 242 The original goal

The old man did not make any further comment on Nissen Mountbatten’s words. Obviously, the old man’s reaction was also what Nissen Mountbatten expected. He actually understood in his heart the old man’s disdainful attitude towards him. From his own point of view, there was really no need to be so verbose with the old man in front of him.

Fortunately, Nissen Mountbatten knew very well that he was not communicating with the old man from his own point of view, so after expressing all his thoughts, he politely said goodbye to the old man and left. Putting aside the emotional and exaggerated expressions of the past, Nissen Mountbatten actually knew how to read people’s emotions and how to make others happy, which also included disappearing from the eyes of others.

In fact, as the old man said to Tim Cook, the two really hate each other. It would be a relief for him to finish talking and leave early. Of course, it was not his concern how his words would affect the respectable old man.

But everyone is a smart person, and Nissen Mountbatten feels that after today’s ceremony, he will not be surprised, let alone care, about any decision made by Mr. Dupont.

Everyone has to face choices and then bear the consequences.

In fact, Nissen Mountbatten hoped that Mr. Dubonle could show his long-lost chivalry, categorically refuse to cooperate with competitors, and defend his glory with his life. Although this chance is very small. When they know that they may live healthy for another seventy or eighty years, these people’s calm appearance cannot hide their already crazy hearts.

Not to mention that life is always a serious topic. For a family, it is actually not a good thing for a certain individual to have nearly doubled the lifespan. Especially for a wealthy family like Dupont, this means a more serious deterioration of family ties.

Even those young descendants who are eager to rise to the top will secretly hope that those old people will die quickly. Of course these old people know this in their hearts, but the clearer they are, the less likely they will be able to actively delegate power. They will even become more arbitrary and cautiously guard against betrayal within the family.

Power is as intoxicating as wealth. Once you experience it, you cannot let it go. This is the trouble of the emperor’s family.

In the imperial society of the past, killing a few sons for fun was nothing new.

So for these people, they have to give their sons and grandsons something to look forward to, so they need to ask for more.

Compared with these people, Nissen Mountbatten was undoubtedly lucky.

Because he is still alone. Three years ago, Nissen Mountbatten was an unmarried and infertile person. His ideal was to earn 100 million and then use up the money before his death. As long as he lived a happy life, that was enough.

But now Nissen Mountbatten sees the hope of making tens of billions, hundreds of billions or even trillions. This is wealth that he will never be able to enjoy in his lifetime no matter how much he squanders it, so he needs a child, and he wants to become the starting point of a big family. He wants his name to be mentioned even hundreds or thousands of years later.

Of course, to achieve these goals, he needs to work harder and be more pious. After all, he is a servant of God.

Whether they are willing to admit it or not, for a certain type of person, the lower the lower limit, the higher the achievement.

…

Nine fifty.

After Ning Zi took the old man around the control tower, he walked into the lecture hall on the third floor of the control tower. No, strictly speaking, it was more like a classroom. There was a small podium above, but there was no desk. Of course, Instead of a blackboard there is a large display device. There is a circle of cameras on the top of the podium, and embedded cameras can also be seen on the display equipment.

Below are rows of chairs, with approximately 32 positions designed, but no desks. At this time, the seats were almost full, with only one seat left in the middle of the first row. When Ning Zi walked into the room with the old man and the entourage behind him, everyone stood up. Then the applause started spontaneously.

“These are the engineers who have worked hard for our Wu Gang and the people in charge of key system-related supporting facilities.” Ning Zi introduced.

The old man smiled and nodded, raised his hand and made a slight downward gesture to stop the applause.

There was not enough time to introduce them one by one on the spot, so the old man simply said a few words of encouragement and praise, and that was the end of the process.

Not to mention that most of the people who can be invited to sit here are acquaintances. Even a few technicians who are not familiar with it will have a large-scale commendation meeting to celebrate after the Wu Gang successfully launched today. There is no rush at this time. to introduce.

After the old man finished speaking, Ning Zi began to introduce the facilities here.

“This is where the launch ceremony of the Wu Gang will be held later. The podium is a holographic device. Stand in the center and speak. The surrounding cameras will automatically record the images and complete them through algorithms. Then, 6,688 holograms will be displayed on the Wu Gang. Click to synchronize the broadcast to ensure that everyone on the ship can see it, and the delay is only about 1.2 seconds.”

“It seems like this holographic technology hasn’t been released to the public yet, right?”

“Well, we are still thinking of ways to do some subtractions, otherwise the layout will be too cumbersome and the use will not be cost-effective. A set of holographic image collection requires the cooperation of more than a hundred cameras to achieve the current effect. If it is reduced to daily life With one or two cameras, it takes too long for the algorithm to automatically supplement the holographic information content, and the files produced are redundant, which will cause frequent lags in playback.”

“Technology is always advancing slowly. In this way, write it down for me and purchase 34 sets of this holographic equipment from the base when we go back.” After speaking, the old man looked at Ning Zie and said with a smile: “This is support for you to perfect the holographic technology as soon as possible. , this technology should have great potential.”

“thank you.”

Of course, 34 sets of holographic equipment are not worth much. Compared with the cost of research and development at the base, this amount of money is indeed not worth mentioning. But this represents an attitude, especially the number 34 sets, which is full of profound meaning.

After a brief chat, it was already 9:55 in the morning.

The green light on the podium lights up, which means that the holographic video equipment is activated, and people can start working immediately as long as they stand over it.

Ning Zi pointed to the center of the podium and asked, “Can you say a few words first?”

“Haha, you didn’t receive the acknowledgment from the office regarding the arrangements for today’s ceremony?” the old man asked with a smile.

Ning Zi nodded and responded: “Actually, I received it.”

The old man said: “Well, after I received your arrangements for today’s grand ceremony that day, Secretary Tan asked me if I wanted to prepare a speech. I refused. I only asked the comrades in the Secretariat to prepare one. Speech at the commendation meeting after the ceremony. Do you know why?”

“Forehead……”

“Haha, there is nothing to be embarrassed to say, because today this is your stage. You have always been disgusted with the addition of some administrative methods to the management sequence of this base. At first, many people, including me, had doubts about this. But it turns out that you did very well. Even much better than we expected. It surprised many people.

In particular, the management system you implement internally is simple and efficient. It may seem like a huge initial investment, but it actually achieves the maximum benefit with the minimum cost. Very good, really good. I believe that many scientific research units will soon learn from your management model.

So today this stage belongs to you, and I look forward to your performance. In addition, let me tell you news in advance that relevant departments are discussing that today will become a special new holiday in the future. To commemorate this day, it also commemorates your efforts. So now what you have to do is do the summary on their behalf, go ahead. “

After speaking, the old man raised his hand and patted Ning Zi on the shoulder, then sat down in the reserved seat with a smile on his face.

The timing is just right.

At ten o’clock sharp, Ning Zi stood at the center of the podium. At the same time, 6688 holographic display positions on the Wu Gang lighted up at the same time. White light pillars filled everything. Amidst bursts of exclamations, light began to flood into various The color first outlines Ning Zi’s head, then the torso, then the legs, and finally the lifelike holographic structure appears in front of everyone.

The launch ceremony of the Wu Gang officially began.

When the image of Ning Zi appeared in the holographic video, the first words were immediately transmitted to everyone’s ears through countless speakers on the spacecraft.

“Initially, our goal was just to survive…”

…

From the time he boarded the spacecraft, or after communicating with Nissen Mountbatten, Org Harvey Dubonle sat quietly on the observation deck without moving except for a trip to the bathroom.

He was not interested in the rides on the ship, but rather liked the observation deck located at the bottom of the spacecraft. Maybe it’s because people like to climb high and look far away as they get older, especially since this perspective is really perfect. It makes people indulge in it without paying attention.

The old man believed that there must be a better place on the ship, but unfortunately it did not belong to him.

He is also thinking about Nissen Mountbatten’s suggestion that owning a spaceship belonging to the family is indeed a wonderful dream.

The only problem is that this world doesn’t give without reason.

If you want to get it, you first have to pay more, not to mention that it is no longer a matter of money. In other words, after the spacecraft took off today and these people completed the first wave of transactions, secular currency no longer had transaction value between the two parties.

No one can use currency to value a planet, because the entire financial anchor value system directly suffers from huge cognitive deviations. Currently, there is no free market on earth that can measure the value of a planet, let alone the value of life.

So if you want to own exploration and get a resource star, you probably need to take sides like Neeson Mountbatten. This is a big bet, and although the odds of winning seem high, the problem is that winning or losing depends on the whims of the banker.

Just like whether a dog becomes a long-term companion of human beings or becomes meat in the pot, it is also a matter of human thoughts.

The difference probably lies in what value the living dog can show.

This is a difficult decision, because kneeling requires kneeling thoroughly.

Very suddenly, the old man suddenly began to envy Neeson Mountbatten.

Because he is really willing to give up.

At least when it comes to being a dog, this former cockroach is very open-minded.

No, this guy was originally a hateful cockroach, but now he has become a dog. It should be said that he has completed nirvana in terms of identity, so not only can he adapt, but he can even enjoy it.

But he is a human being, and he is an extremely noble one. He is naturally not used to being a dog all of a sudden.

Of course if there is enough temptation…

Thinking of his life span of more than seventy years and the brilliant starry sky, this noble old man still gets entangled…

Until the spacecraft began to change, he could feel that the observation deck began to slowly rise, and then the place below where he could enjoy the scenery outside the window began to gradually close, until the picture under his feet began to close.

It seems that the ceremony is about to begin.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw a ring of green light appearing in the middle of the observation deck.

The old man moved his buttocks, changed his sitting position, and then looked at the time. Well, it was almost ten o’clock.

He still remembered that before boarding the ship, the staff member said that Ning Jie would give a speech before the launch ceremony of the Wu Gang. The speech was displayed to the guests through 6688 holographic points. Haha…what about holographic display technology…

During this time, the old man was very unhappy with these damn technological developments, and had even become resentful.

Of course, this kind of dissatisfaction and resentment is actually mainly because the birthplace of these technologies is here, not there, or another country.

As people get older, their reactions tend to be slower. After Org Harvey Dupontler stared at the flashing circle of green light for a few minutes, the sudden rise of dazzling white light made him squint his eyes subconsciously, and then he watched helplessly. Ning Zi’s figure appeared in front of him…

“Fuck…”

Facts have proved that no matter how well-educated a person is, he will express his inner unhappiness and anger in the most concise language in his mind, but he will not speak it out loud.

Yes, when the full-body image of Ning Zi emerged, this word was the only word that flashed through the old man’s mind.

This image is so realistic…

Full display of details from top to bottom. You can even see a slight crease in the clothes.

The old man suddenly felt heartbroken for Tim Cook. He believed that the company he would also invest in soon would suffer another hemorrhage.

God probably really doesn’t bless them anymore, otherwise how can we explain the appearance of these amazing technologies here?

The curse words were still swirling in his mind, and Ning Zi’s voice entered his ears.

“Initially, our goal was just to survive…”

Ah……

A very different opening statement…

The guy’s first sentence didn’t even thank them, the guests, for attending this ceremony despite their busy schedules.

He didn’t even want to add a salutation, even a polite “Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone.”

But probably for this reason, Org Harvey Dubonle sat upright. He wanted to listen carefully to what this world-recognized genius would say today, because it might affect his decision… Decisions that will affect the future of countless people.
