Chapter 213 Heading to the Imperial Capital
In principle, Wei Ming agreed to join the "Longevity Plan".
Yes, he had said something like "I can almost die when I'm old", and now his performance is double-standard and self-contradictory.
Except for a small number of people who live a life worse than death, most people want to live longer, which is human nature.
What Wei Ming opposes is that a very small number of people pursue health and longevity, especially those who are rich and powerful. They have already occupied all the resources and advantages, and they want to live a few hundred years longer. If they continue to expand this advantage, they can occupy their position for a long time and become the so-called "celestial dragons".
If this continues, will ordinary people ever have a chance to make a breakthrough?
Wouldn't the already seriously solidified social class become more solidified, turning into a stagnant pool with no hope?
Wei Ming doesn't want to be an accomplice to exacerbate this solidification, so he is very resistant - even if no one can stop this trend.
But if it is to extend the life of the whole people, and everyone is healthy and long-lived, then he is more supportive and does not resist in his heart.
Of course, there is also a little selfishness that he also wants to live longer, live three to five hundred years, or even longer, to see more scenery and excitement.
…
The intention of cooperation has been reached.
But how to cooperate specifically, discuss and determine the general direction, refine the tasks, list the technical breakthroughs, etc.
This requires Wei Ming to go to the imperial capital, attend the seminar, and discuss with experts.
The meeting will probably last about a month.
Only in this way can the direction be established and be clear in mind.
It is also okay to use 5G to participate in remote video conferences at home, and it is not necessary to go to the imperial capital, but for some aspects of discussion, the effect of face-to-face discussion is different from that of discussion across the screen, and the communication advantage of offline meetings cannot be replaced.
Many things can be said more clearly in person.
In addition, he has another reason to go to the imperial capital.
Black Hole Universe Development Company.
Obviously, space launch sites cannot be built in big cities.
Including engine test runs, experimental launches of rockets, wind tunnel experiments of spacecraft... etc., the Black Hole Universe Development Company must cooperate with the country to carry out space exploration activities normally.
Even if the help of the Aerospace Group is not needed, the Black Hole Universe Development Company can develop everything from scratch, but there must be a site for space launch, right?
It just so happened that the Aerospace Group recently launched a "Houyi Plan", which plans to hollow out a mountain with an altitude of 8,000 meters in the west of Kunlong Mountain, and then dig 3,000 meters down to build an electromagnetic catapult orbital launch site over 11 kilometers long, reducing the launch cost of spacecraft to one-tenth of the previous cost, or even lower.
Black Hole Universe Development Company was invited to join the plan.
If Wei Ming agrees to join, he does not need to pay a penny, just help hollow out the lower mountain, and plan according to the drawings, and Wei Ming will personally go there.
That electromagnetic catapult orbital launch site, Wei Ming's Black Hole Group will be able to get 50% of the shares, and can use this launch site without restrictions in the future.
In addition, next to the launch site, Wei Ming can enclose a piece of land of no less than 10,000 acres for the construction of a research and development center, assembly plant, conventional rocket launch site, etc., to build a space base exclusively for the Black Hole Group and complete various space development plans.
And build a 100,000-ton rocket launch ship that can carry out space launches at sea... China Aerospace Group will provide convenience in all aspects.
To get so many conveniences, you have to ask for help from others. It is impossible to ask others to come to sign a cooperation contract on their own initiative.
In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, Wei Ming had to take several key executives of the Black Hole Universe Development Company to the imperial capital to discuss the terms of cooperation with the Aerospace Group and reach a cooperation agreement.
Adding these two things together, it would be unreasonable not to go.
"Wife, I have to go to the imperial capital on a business trip."
Wei Ming hugged the woman's shoulders and said, "If it's slow, it will take about a month, and if it's fast, it will take half a month. You need to leave for a while, you have to take good care of the children and yourself." Don't catch a cold or get sick, otherwise he will be very worried.
"You go."
Xu Chuxia said, "I will take good care of the family, you don't have to worry, but..." A trace of worry floated across her pretty face.
"But what?"
"The imperial capital is full of dignitaries, like standing in the clouds, with countless temptations."
Xu Chuxia said faintly: "As long as you step into that circle, there will be countless temptations coming to you, which may be money, power, sex, or a combination of these three. The upper class there is much more complicated and turbid than Hangzhou. Hangzhou is like a country town."
"You have low emotional intelligence, are impulsive and irritable, and are not calm enough. I am afraid that someone will offend you accidentally, and you may cause a big event again, just like Sun Wukong went to heaven, and you might make a big fuss. The Heavenly Palace has been turned upside down... This is what I am most worried about. "
"Can you have some confidence in your husband?"
Wei Ming said speechlessly: "What do you mean I am prone to trouble? Didn't someone take the initiative to cause trouble to me that time, and I had to fight back? Did I take the initiative to hurt others that time? I will not offend others unless they offend me. Except for those who deserve to die and those who are looking for death, I am very generous and kind to everyone."
"What I mean is that you should not fight for a little conflict or a little face, don't care too much about small things, and be a little more tolerant." The woman said.
"In that case, you can come with me to the capital, bring the children, and live in your father's house. Doesn't he want to see you and your grandson?"
"I... I don't want to go. "
Xu Chuxia said with a tone of dissent. She actually wanted to go with him, but the boss behind the scenes said on the phone that he was busy recently and it was difficult to entertain him, so she had better not go.
"Anyway, you have to remember what I said: refuse temptation, be friendly and generous, and come back early."
"Okay, okay, listen to my wife."
"Wife, give me another child."
"Don't touch me, my son's nutrition can't keep up."
The woman said angrily.
"Hehehe~"
...
A few days later.
April 10.
Before sitting in the first-class seat of the high-speed rail to the capital.
Considering that the business trip may last up to a month.
Wei Ming first expanded the internal capacity of the No. 5 and No. 17 garbage stations of the Black Hole Garbage Recycling Company by more than ten times, and dug them down to 150 meters, enough to accommodate 5 million tons of garbage, and then cleared them every two months.
He had been aware of this expansion work a long time ago. The high temperature of more than 5,000 degrees generated by the black swallowing of garbage melted the soil layer and turned it into hard granite. Every time it was cleaned, the garbage cellar was dug one or two meters deeper. After the granite solidified into a wall, it would not pollute the city's groundwater.
With the expansion over time, it has reached its current scale.
Wei Ming does not plan to dig any further. 150 meters is enough. It is cleaned every two months to prevent garbage from accumulating for too long, producing a large amount of harmful gases, polluting the air environment, and harming the health of employees.
…
On the high-speed train, looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window.
Wei Ming murmured:
"The imperial capital has many ancient buildings and various delicacies. I have long yearned for it. I don't know what kind of surprises I will get when I go to the imperial capital for the first time?"
