Chapter 1036 Tool Man
"The product we made before has been in normal use for several months. We have to fold and unfold it hundreds of times every day to test whether it is stable. But the experiment time is still short, so I can't make any promises to you."
Chief Li was very satisfied with the result. He smiled and nodded, "It's already very good. But I have a question, if it is not put away so frequently, can the service life be extended?"
"This needs to be confirmed by experiments. I can't give you an answer."
Chief Alliance Officer Li didn't care and talked about something else with Jiang Ji. Finally, the two agreed to release the news of the space storage device a week later to divert public attention.
In fact, Jiang Ji was not happy to be exposed so early. He was annoyed and afraid that someone would target him.
But he also knew that the situation on Xiaokai's side was not optimistic. If no measures were taken, he was afraid that the space would not be able to hold on. For the sustainable development of mankind, he would suffer a little loss and reluctantly agreed.
"Xiao Jiang, don't be so gloomy. There are benefits to making it public." Dean Xu comforted Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji looked up at Dean Xu and asked, "What's the benefit?"
"Your worth has doubled!" Dean Xu smiled and joked. But Jiang Ji quickly shook his head: "I don't want to!"
Dean Xu coughed twice awkwardly: "Ahem, I haven't finished yet."
Seeing that the other party did not interrupt, he continued: “Think about it, although hot air will be emitted from time to time outside, this stone is very rare.
We in the Imperial Capital have been searching for this long and have only found one piece. But in Haishi, we actually found two pieces, and the second piece is much bigger than the first one.
What does this mean? It means that the stones are also found in other places. It’s just that the place is too big and people didn’t notice them. Or they noticed them but didn’t know what use they had and ignored them.
Tell me, it would be a waste to leave such a precious thing there without taking it back. But once everyone knows that this thing is worth a fortune, they will go out to find it at all costs. In this way, won't you get a steady supply of research materials?"
Jiang Ji thought it made sense and nodded.
"As for the troubles you mentioned, don't worry, they will come sooner or later."
Dean Xu chuckled and continued before Jiang Ji could get angry: "But do you think that General Li is just a decoration? He must have made all the preparations before announcing it!
Research, progress, and finished product production are all up to you. Just hide in the laboratory and do whatever you want, as long as you produce results for us as soon as possible. As for the rest, the alliance will take care of it, so you don't need to worry about it.
Don’t you think so, Chief Li?”
Chief Alliance Officer Li nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, I will handle the rest, Engineer Jiang just needs to focus on the research."
After hearing what the two said, Jiang Ji finally felt less repulsive. He stayed in the office for a while and then left with Dean Xu.
After the two men left, Chief Alliance Officer Li turned the idea over in his mind for a few times, and then called several senior executives to a meeting to discuss the feasibility.
At the meeting, he did not hide the problem of Xiao Kai's space. The bosses looked solemn, but they were helpless.
Some people even began to feel fortunate that it was not their own children who acquired the spatial ability.
Although everyone was envious at first, as time went by, everyone realized the price Li Sikai paid, which was not something ordinary people could afford.
The most important thing is that the space does not belong to you, and the output basically goes to the national treasury. Moreover, it is exposed to all survivors, leaving the holder with no privacy at all.
I originally thought that after the apocalypse was over, Xiao Kai would be able to use it by himself. But I didn't expect that the space would have problems before the end. Xiao Kai would probably get nothing after working so hard. All his efforts were in vain, and he was definitely just a tool.
Before I finished expressing my feelings, I was pleasantly surprised by the news about the space storage device. I didn't expect that Jiang Ji really figured it out. This is too amazing!
"I didn't tell you before because the storage device is not very stable at the moment. But Xiaokai's condition is not optimistic. If it gets worse, our only way out may be cut off.
Although the planet's temperature has risen, no one can say when it will return to normal. Many bases have run out of food. If something happens to Xiaokai, we will be in dire straits."
"Engineer Jiang and Dean Xu speculated that the instability of the space was caused by over-cultivation. But in the current situation, it is impossible to stop farming. We discussed it and thought that we could divert the public's attention and stop the space from upgrading. Then the space would be in a relatively stable state, and there would be no external force to break it. Even if the life force is overdrawn, it can last for another two years."
"I haven't told Xiao Kai about this yet, fearing that he can't handle it. Selfishly, I don't want anything to happen to his space. He has paid so much, he can't end up with nothing. But as the chief officer of the alliance, I can't ignore the survivors. After struggling for a long time, I can only let Xiao Kai down."
"The purpose of publishing this technology is, first, to divert the survivors' attention, so that they can find something else to focus on and no longer be obsessed with Xiao Kai's space. Second, we want to rely on the power of the masses to find the space stone.
I believe you have all heard that space stones are very rare, and there are only two in the alliance currently.
Such a small amount can't meet the needs of everyone. Even if Jiang Ji has good skills, it's useless without materials. What's more, he has to use most of the materials to find ways to improve the stability of the storage structure and increase its service life.
Once the news is released, there will definitely be speculators looking for space stones. Once they find them, it will be their luck and also an opportunity for the alliance.
We can buy it at a high price, or we can promise the other party that we will pay half of the space stone as compensation and make the remaining half into finished products as a gift to the other party. I believe that any smart person will choose to cooperate with the alliance."
Everyone was very excited by what General Li said. Why should they just sign this highly profitable deal directly? Why did they need to come over and discuss it seriously?
“But there are some problems…”
Chief Alliance Officer Li calmly raised several questions, including how to ensure Jiang Ji's safety, how to ensure fairness in the distribution of storage devices, how to deal with the personal relationships involved, how to ensure the safety of survivors when searching for space stones, and how to settle disputes.
There are many problems, and each one needs to be properly resolved.
"The purpose of today's meeting is to allow everyone to give suggestions and make plans." After saying this, Chief Alliance Officer Li sat aside and waited.
Because their own interests are involved, the bosses are very careful. While proposing solutions, they also try their best to get benefits for themselves.
Chief Alliance Officer Li knew it well, but he didn't expose it. As long as it's not excessive, it can be satisfied, there is no need to be too serious.
The group discussed for more than three hours before they came to a rough idea.
