Chapter 1,440 He Belongs to the World
Under the elevator, in the waiting room.
"How are you recovering from your illness?" Hong Zewei asked casually as he stood at the entrance to the elevator.
"It's almost recovered," Dr. Amos smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "and rather than a disease, I prefer to call it 'instinct recovery', which can be eliminated with certain adaptive training. , it’s not a particularly serious illness.”
"Instinctive recovery."
"Yes, when Gaia gave us memories, she accidentally gave us her own behavioral habits," Dr. Amos continued. "This flower of memory interferes with more than just our cerebral cortex and hippocampus. , and also had a radioactive impact on other areas of the brain. It is understandable that such a result would occur. After all, they cannot predict the structure of the brain of the species that will take over their legacy in the future. Moreover, after leading the researchers to sort out While memorizing the information, I noticed a special phenomenon."
"What's happening?" Hong Zewei was stunned for a moment.
"In all the information from billions of years ago, there is no detailed record of the 'Flower of Memory'. Instead, a lot of ink is wasted on some trivial things. I boldly speculate that maybe this kind of thing was originally They didn’t make it, so the impact it has is not something they can determine.”
"They didn't make the Flower of Memory?" Hong Zewei said with a smile, "Who else could it be? Is it another advanced civilization?"
"That's probably the case," Amos smiled, "Of course, everything is just my inference. After all, everything we see is always just the tip of the iceberg compared to the entire universe."
Just as the two were chatting in a casual tone, the announcement of boarding the elevator sounded in the waiting room.
"It's getting late, have a safe journey." Hong Zewei said, "I'll take you here."
"Take care of yourself too." Dr. Amos smiled.
As the announcement sounded, the people waiting in the waiting room walked towards the escalator to board the train and entered their respective carriages according to their respective numbers. Soon more than two hundred people completely entered the train-shaped elevator cabin in the space elevator track.
Under the watchful eye of a series of signal lights that lit up one after another, the elevator slowly accelerated and drove towards the sky as dim as egg white.
Looking at the desert that was gradually receding and the Martian colony shrunk into a dot, Dr. Amos only felt that his heart was filled with excitement.
Soon he will return to Earth, taking with him the more than two hundred researchers who have accepted the legacy of Gai Yan's civilization.
He believes that the knowledge stored in his brain is destined to bring about earth-shaking changes to the world.
…
Sunday, early morning.
In the study room of the villa, Jiang Chen met with Frank Dobbin, a professor from Harvard University who came here because of his fame.
This old man, who is over sixty years old, looks much younger than his actual age. Perhaps this is related to the fact that he still travels around the world even at his age, doing research and giving academic seminars. Unlike most scholars in the same field, the research method he advocates is not to read a large amount of relevant literature and make extended descriptions based on previous conclusions. Instead, he advocates visiting the scene in person and using scientific means to investigate the research topic.
It is precisely for this reason that in the field of social economics, Frank Dobbin's views are always groundbreaking and have a lot of factual evidence. And this is why his works are regarded as classics by academic circles.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
After meeting, Frank Dobbin took the initiative to extend his right hand.
After holding the extended right hand, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
"Hello."
"You are now a global figure, and it is my honor to interview you." Frank Dobbin released his right hand and said with a smile, "Since last year, I have been studying how the Star Ring Trade can benefit from hundreds of millions of companies around the world. What makes you stand out in business.”
"Did you find anything interesting in your research?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Unfortunately not," Frank Dobbin shook his head and said in a relaxed tone, "That's why I came to visit you today. Thank you again for taking time out of your busy schedule."
"You're welcome, I may not be able to help you much with academic matters," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "There is only one thing I can say about the rise of Star Ring Trade. We are just standing on the shoulders of giants. superior."
"The shoulders of giants? Is there any company in the world that is strong enough to provide you with shoulders?" Frank Dobbin said with a smile.
"One hundred and seventy large and medium-sized research institutes covering the nine islands of New Zealand, as well as 4,371 scientific researchers in various fields, are the giants we rely on," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Giants are not There must be only one, it can be composed of many.”
Real giants are huge technological legacies from another world, but this kind of thing obviously cannot be talked about everywhere.
"So, you attribute the achievements of the Star Ring trade to the progress made in natural science and applied science?" Frank Dobbin asked.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen nodded.
"Is such that."
"What do you think of the future of the new country?" Frank Dobbin smiled slightly and said, taking out a cut newspaper from the bag he carried, "Wall Street Journal 20201221, this article has been read ?"
"Of course I have read it," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "I can only say that the writing is good, although this kind of thing will never happen."
"Oh?" Frank Dobbin asked seriously, "What makes you so confident that that day will never come?"
"Because there is a vast enough space in the future, I am convinced of this," Jiang Chen smiled, "Rather than squeezing surplus value from poor people, we are more inclined to expand outward, such as asteroid mining, outer space Colonization. In the future, there will be enough land to absorb the excess population, and there will be enough jobs to absorb the excess labor force. We just need to use our leading position in the industry to control the pace of expansion, which is similar to Ray Bleiber's "Fahrenheit" The dystopian world described in "451" will definitely not appear in the new country..."
Jiang Chen used a provocative tone and vividly described to Frank Dobbin what he saw as the future of the new country and the Star Ring trade. He has given similar speeches many times in the company and at press conferences. Even if he didn't have a script, he would just make it up from scratch.
Frank Dobbin listened in stunned silence, forgetting to move the pen on his notebook.
Although there was a suspicion of going off topic, Jiang Chen's answer answered all the confusion he had after reading the report from another angle.
Maybe Jiang Chen, who was saying these words, didn't realize it himself, but from a researcher's perspective, Frank Dobbin had an understanding of the Star Ring Trade and the "New Country Model" that every social science scholar is familiar with. A deeper understanding.
Although he had only asked half of the questions he had prepared, he already felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Years later, Frank Dobbin wrote in his memoirs.
"I have visited many great people in my life, from the first black president of the United States to the warlords of African dictatorships. If I want to say which one is the most impressive to me, it is undoubtedly the chairman of Star Ring Trading, Jiang Chen, the richest man in the world. I have spent ten pages describing everything about him and my evaluation of him in "Introduction to Society and Economics in the New Era·New Country", so I won’t say more here. To avoid misunderstanding by future generations, this memoir of mine was also sponsored by Star Ring Trading."
"...Since then, I have made bold predictions in my new book. This great man is destined not only to belong to the new country, but also to the entire world."
