Who would believe it?

No one would believe it if it was told to them, and even Zhu Xianhai himself did not take any action. Under some instinctive reaction, Wang Songping and others died, and many companies including the Umbrella Company were subjected to some kind of liquidation.

But in the eyes of outsiders, at least in the eyes of a few insiders - I don't believe you, this was done by the Faceless Man.

The car stopped in front of the high-end apartment building in Zhongdu. Zhu Xianhai got out of the car. This was his residence.

It was the first time that he felt exhausted. In the past half month, he could be said to be exhausted from traveling - he had been discussing technical matters with Joanna in Mexico City. Don't get me wrong, it was in the laboratory, not in bed.

From the multi-touch screen to the structure of the phone, to the processing chip, etc., all of this really made him mentally and physically exhausted. Now, at this moment, he just wanted to go home and rest.

In the lobby of the apartment building, the doorman saw him and said:

"Mr. Zhu, welcome back. Someone left a letter for you."

“Someone left me a letter?”

The gatekeeper handed him a card and said:

"Yes, this is it. This man came up to you today and left his business card."

I took the business card and saw that it only had a phone number and address printed on it:

Zhu Xianhai frowned when he saw the phone number. Although there was only a number and an address, he knew who it was at a glance.

There is only one person in the world who lives there. Maybe the phone number will change, but the address will never change.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xianhai said to the gatekeeper:

"Thank you. I see."

Zhu Xianhai then walked towards the elevator, looking at the name on the paper. What was coming was bound to come.

As the elevator went up to the top floor, Zhu Xianhai looked at the business card again.

He did not feel unfamiliar with the address, but why at this time?

He walked to the door of his room and unlocked it.

As soon as I entered the door, I pressed the light switch on the wall and the light came on.

The next moment, he was shocked - there were several people sitting in his room.

The people in the room didn't seem to find it strange when they saw him. He glanced at them, then put down the luggage in his hands and said with some displeasure.

"The donkeys in the production team also need to take a break..."

As soon as these words came out, the old man sitting on the sofa was stunned at first, then he laughed.

"I haven't heard anyone say that in almost forty years."

Then the old man looked at him and spoke in a very serious tone.

“No one knew what a production team was.”

I'm used to it...

Zhu Xianhai ignored him and walked to the wine cabinet, opened it, and took out a bottle of wine and two wine glasses.

"Do you want it?"

"certainly."

While Zhu Xianhai was pouring the wine, the old man nodded to the people beside him and they stepped out.

After pouring two glasses of wine, Zhu Xianhai gave one to the old man, then he took a sip from the glass and said.

"What's the matter?"

The old man looked at him seriously, then shook his head and said.

"I have a lot of questions in my mind, but I don't want to ask because..."

After a pause, the old man said.

“Perhaps, for some questions, we don’t need answers at all.”

"Yes,"

Zhu Xianhai nodded and said.

"In that case, there is no need for an answer,"

"Yeah, curiosity isn't necessarily a good thing..."

The old man thought for a moment and said.

"I heard you bought the tomato company."

"right."

"That company is working on a new type of mobile phone, right?"

"More or less."

The old man nodded slightly.

"It looks like this should be a good start."

Afterwards, they chatted some more topics, all of which were related to technology. It must be said that the old man's understanding of high technology far exceeded that of ordinary people. He and Zhu Xianhai had something in common in many scientific fields. When talking about some key scientific issues, he also had his own unique insights.

"Forty years ago, the exploration of the moon was more for technological breakthroughs than for the moon. That's why Emperor Dezong supported the moon landing against all odds. Finally, with the joint efforts of thousands of companies across the empire, it took eight years to send humans to the moon. The empire has made great strides in aerospace, space technology, electronic computer technology and other technologies. This even contributed to the rise of the empire's electronic computer and Internet industries. Twenty years ago, the empire's development reached a bottleneck, so..."

After listening to the old man's words, Zhu Xianhai finally understood why the empire would join forces with the other states to promote the Mars plan.

"So, there is the Mars Project, right?"

“Yes, it is a kind of path dependence, but the result is somewhat unsatisfactory.”

The old man said.

"The impact on science and technology and the economy is far from comparable to the moon landing project back then."

“It’s just a continuation of a technological change, not an expansion of new technology.”

Zhu Xianhai said directly.

"But on the other hand, whether it is building a permanent lunar base or landing on Mars, it means that we have truly entered the space age. In this regard, it is still worthwhile. It's just that the driving effect on the economy is not obvious enough. In addition, many new technologies are applied, such as battery technology..."

In the tomato laboratory in Mexico, Zhu Xianhai saw the battery technology of this world for the first time, and he was really amazed. Compared with the other world, the lithium battery technology of this world is more advanced, not only the capacity has increased by more than 30%, but also the cost is much lower than that of the other world. The development of lithium battery technology is based on the needs of space construction.

However, there is no demand for electric cars in this world, because Zhuxia controls 90% of the world's oil, and the sufficient oil supply makes oil a relatively cheap energy source. However, Zhu Xianhai believes that electricity is the future, and with the controlled nuclear fusion and the mining and research of helium 3 on the lunar base, soon, cheaper and more abundant electricity will replace oil.

"We can definitely apply battery technology to the automotive industry and robotics products, but of course it's just an experiment at first."

Listening to Zhu Xianhai's description, the old man nodded slightly, and it seemed that he also agreed with the development of electric vehicles. The two chatted like this from the afternoon to the evening. When they were happy, the old man would laugh.

At last, seeing that it was getting dark, Zhu Xianhai said.

"Or, let's have dinner together."

The old man immediately agreed and said.

"Just what I want."
