Chapter 124: Foreign Residents on the Artificial Planet
Ed, Na Boyu, Zhou Fanxiu, Bai Na and other new and old researchers all stared at Ji An in disbelief. Their eyes were so wide open that they seemed like they would pop out of their sockets if they exerted a little more force.
The old people like Boyu were fine. Although they were still shocked by Ji An's sudden ideas from time to time, they were used to it. The new researchers, including foreign researchers headed by Ed, were top researchers before the apocalypse, no matter how they were treated after the apocalypse. They might even have the most advanced technology at the forefront of the world, which was not available in Xia before the apocalypse. Because of these reasons, they still have their own pride in scientific research and technology.
"Dean Ji, I have to say that sometimes there is a difference between technology and fantasy." As a former big shot in the field, Ed had to stand up and break some of Ji An's unrealistic fantasies.
"So before I invented the intelligent brain, did you ever think of it as a fantasy?" Ji An asked back.
"It's different. In fact, before the end of the world, our country has already begun researching intelligent brain technology. It's not just a fantasy. We have initial theoretical and technical support. So the emergence of intelligent brains doesn't surprise me. I can only say that intelligent brains are an inevitable part of human development." Ed shrugged disapprovingly and explained his point of view.
"Commander Gu, what is your opinion?"
Gu Jinsheng looked at Ji An. He never tried to avoid suspicion in public. He looked at Ji An with a blatant preference. It seemed that in the whole laboratory, his eyes could only see him, his ears could only hear him, and his world only had him.
"I believe him." Gu Jinsheng was as concise and concise as always, and was frugal with his words.
Ed had just arrived at the laboratory and didn't know Gu Jinsheng's character yet. He couldn't believe that Gu Jinsheng, the person in charge of the Beijing base, would make such a hasty comment on such an important matter. Even a crazy person like Charles would have to pretend to hold a high-level meeting before making a decision.
As a loyal and brainless fan of Ji An, Wu Zhengyang couldn't stand Ed's questioning of Ji An, and said unsatisfiedly: "Researcher Ed, let me remind you that you are now a Xia national."
When Ed thought about his current nationality, he couldn't help but feel ashamed for what he had just said subconsciously. He was very grateful to the Jingshi Base for saving him and his daughter, and he had sworn in his heart that as long as the Jingshi Base didn't hurt his daughter, he would be willing to sacrifice his life for the Jingshi Base.
But it was precisely because of his sincere gratitude that he felt that he should be more rigorous in all scientific research projects. So he had to stop this absurd fantasy at all costs.
What is most lacking in the apocalypse is time, and there is no time to waste on taking detours.
Ed looked at Na Boyu, the only person present who looked familiar to him. The two had met briefly at an international scientific research conference.
Ed tried to seek help from Na Boyu. In his impression, Na Boyu was a high-end researcher with excellent skills and reliable personality.
However, Na Boyu just walked over gently and patted Ed's shoulder soothingly. "Although we old people also think that Dean Ji's ideas are too unrealistic, we still have to add one sentence. All the seemingly unrealistic and impossible fantasies that Dean Ji proposed at the beginning were finally realized, and they were realized perfectly. So what we have to do now is to work hard and cooperate with us."
Kong Zhongcheng patted Ed's shoulder with a smile, "Anyway, the world is already so bad, it can't get any worse, why not try your best to fight for an impossible future. If you succeed, then mankind will have a new, brand new and beautiful future. If you fail, that's okay, the final destruction is just the predetermined ending that the earth has arranged for mankind, and mankind can't escape the predetermined fate after all."
Wan Xueying smiled and said, "I believe in Mr. Ji. He can always create miracles."
Ed was a little confused. "This is crazy. I don't know why you all blindly favor Dean Ji. Okay, I admit that he is very capable and has made many amazing inventions. But artificially creating a planet suitable for human survival is too ridiculous."
Aide's opinion was not adopted after all, and Ji An organized the staff to clearly divide the work and prepare the preliminary theoretical construction. No matter how Aide felt that Ji An's proposal was impossible to complete, he still took the work assigned by Ji An seriously and diligently completed it.
Ji An was very satisfied with this. He did not require everyone to believe him, as long as they took the tasks he assigned them seriously.
Rescue efforts are ongoing, and more and more outstanding talents are being rescued to the Beijing base. With the participation of more and more top scientific researchers from various fields, the idea that seemed whimsical to everyone at the beginning has matured at an incredible speed.
And the artificial planet that was impossible to create at the beginning was also created day by day. When it was finally completed, the whole earth was shocked.
This is not because Ji An and others are showing off, but because the planet is adjacent to the Earth, and in order to facilitate its construction, there was a ladder between it and the Earth.
Researchers climbed up the artificial planet from the surface of the earth through a ladder. Now this artificial planet, which is almost the same as the earth, has been made. Its huge body will inevitably bring a lot of impact to the earth. The most direct manifestation is that there are now two moons on the earth.
At first, no one took it seriously. It was the end of the world, so anything was normal. However, when the new "moon" took shape little by little, all parties finally realized that something was wrong. They sent out various advanced technologies to investigate, but they were all blocked by the Jingshi base. Now that a new planet has been born, no one can keep this secret any longer.
The popularity of this matter on the smart brain remains high. When you open the smart brain, it is flooded with discussions about this matter.
"Have you heard the news? Ji An seems to have created an artificial planet suitable for human survival?"
"Really? False? We have been discussing this matter in our base recently."
"Of course it's true. There are two moons in the sky. How can it be false?"
"I have a relative who is in the Jingshi base, and he has inside information. It is said that the artificial satellite made by Ji An this time cost an inestimable amount of money. The planet was built in imitation of the Earth before the end of the world. The soil and water sources on it were purified by earth-type and water-type superpowers before being placed on the artificial planet. It is a brand new, clean artificial planet without any zombie virus pollution, suitable for human habitation."
"What the above said is true. My daughter is currently living in the Jingshi base, and she is trying to find a way to bring me over. She also told me some things that only insiders know. In order to complete the construction of this planet as soon as possible, Gu Jinsheng did not allow those psychics to rest, and ordered them to use their powers to evolve the water and soil day and night, which exhausted many psychics to death."
"The person above, I think your daughter is not in Jingshi Base, but in M Base. She is clearly a traitor of Jingshi Base. If there is still a place where human rights exist, it must be Jingshi Base. Although Gu Jinsheng is a cold-faced devil, he respects human life very much, so he will not use human lives to fill it."
"Well, that's hard to say. After all, it's a new planet that is completely away from the zombie virus. Even a god would find it hard not to be tempted."
"I don't care whether that planet was built with human lives. I just want to know that if all the people of Xia nationality flee to that planet to survive, what will happen to us foreigners?"
This heated discussion about artificial planets eventually turned into foreign residents' concerns about their personal safety. People with ulterior motives mixed in and stirred up trouble.
"Why can Xia nationals immigrate to the satellite, but we foreigners can't? What do Xia nationals have more than us?"
"That's right. They are all human lives. Now that we are facing a great disaster, they are still trying to split the nationality. The Jingshi Base is worthy of death! Shouldn't we all unite as one and work together to overcome this great crisis for mankind?"
"Who said that the Jingshi Base and Gu Jinsheng have human rights? If there are real human rights, there should be no distinction between nationalities, and everyone can immigrate to a new planet. Everyone is a spark of humanity. Before the end of the world, Xia Country was the most pretentious, doing something like endangered animal protection. Now humans are endangered animals, so why don't they protect them and treat them differently?"
"Why should we die? Is it because we are not of Xia nationality? Should we die if we are not Xia nationals?!"
"No matter what, I will protest this time. Jingshi Base and Gu Jinsheng must give us a satisfactory answer. That artificial planet should not belong to Xia Country alone. It should belong to every living thing living on Earth. Even my dog and my cat!"
At the same time, the Jing City base was jubilant and celebrating over the completion of this artificial planet. Everyone, including Ji An, drank on that day.
Ed's face flushed from drinking. He raised his glass and came to Ji An to toast him. "Dean Ji, please forgive my ignorance when I first arrived. I apologize for the stupid things I said and feel deeply ashamed. I don't know how I had the courage to say that you were fanciful and I was the foolish one. If it weren't for your bold hypothesis, I can't imagine when humans would dare to come up with the bold hypothesis of artificial planets."
Wu Zhengyang appeared out of nowhere. He was drunk but still boasted, "I told you a long time ago that our Dean Ji has a magical ability. There is nothing he can't accomplish in his research. Even if those things may seem beyond the times and beyond the current technology in your opinion."
Ed didn't feel offended, and even felt the same way. "A good researcher should be like Dean Ji, not bound by imagination, and carefully verify. I still have a lot to learn from Dean Ji."
Wu Zhengyang felt as if he was being flattered. "That's right. Although you are not bad, you still have a lot to learn from Dean Ji."
Ji An just smiled and did not participate in this boasting conference centered on him.
"It is thanks to everyone's unremitting efforts in the past two years that we have achieved such rapid success. Thank you all for your hard work. Once again, I would like to thank you on behalf of all life on Earth." Ji An stood in the middle of the crowd and bowed deeply.
Almost at the same time, everyone returned the gift without any prior agreement, and no one dared to accept Ji An's gift.
"Dean Ji, please don't be like this. It will only embarrass us. Without you, this artificial satellite would never have been completed. In terms of hard work, no one is as hardworking as you. Besides, this is not just your private matter. It concerns the lives of all of us. We dare not accept such a great gift from you." Na Boyu was now convinced by Ji An and no longer had the arrogance he had before.
Ji An did not refuse, he deserved this respect.
"We have all worked hard. The bonuses promised to you have been distributed to your smart computers. You can check them when you return. If there are any discrepancies in the numbers, please communicate with the accounting department in a timely manner. I wish everyone a happy holiday."
As the main force, Ed received a bonus that he could not even imagine. With the money, he took his daughter to play freely in the Beijing base and bought her the toys that she had been coveting for a long time.
By the end of the shopping, the little girl was beginning to feel frightened, thinking that her father was too extravagant. "Dad, you are a worrying father. You are too extravagant. We spent so much money today. How can we live in the future?"
Looking at his daughter's innocent and lovely face, Ed patiently explained, "Honey, Dad has completed a remarkable scientific research result and received a large bonus. From now on, you don't have to worry about money anymore and just be that carefree and happy little princess."
The little girl frowned, "But it's not peaceful outside. I have an intelligent computer, and people outside are jealous of our Jingshi base. Will they one day unite and attack us? If the Jingshi base falls, then the money you put in the intelligent computer will be useless, and you will just create a bunch of numbers."
Ed felt distressed when he saw his daughter, who should have been innocent, showing a maturity that was not in line with her age.
"Don't be afraid. Daddy has another good news for you. Maybe it won't be long before we can move to a new planet to live. It will be as beautiful as before the apocalypse, and there will be no scary zombie virus."
"Really?" the little girl asked in surprise.
"Really." Ed leaned against the girl's face, tears of relief streaming down his eyes, "Dad is really glad to be able to come to the Jing City Base and join the Xia Country citizenship."
