Chapter 2602 Mayfly World (II)
Schiller eats very fast, and he can always eat some very disordered food very beautifully, as if there is a special area in his brain responsible for studying which one to eat first and which one to eat in a table of complicated dishes to make it fast and delicious.
What's more amazing is that he doesn't delay talking when eating, and there is no food in his mouth when he opens his mouth. Stark always suspects that this is because he often gives psychological treatment to others while eating, but he has no evidence.
Stark took two bites of the hamburger and had no appetite. He asked a little listlessly: "What business are you talking about?"
"Oh, it's like this, Kamar-Taj..."
Schiller briefly described the situation of Kamar-Taj. The more Stark listened, the more wrong it seemed. He said: "So now Strange wants to help those villages make money, but the magic herbs he made are useless, so he came to me for help?"
"Probably so." Schiller nodded.
Stark laughed loudly, then choked himself. After taking a few sips of water, he still said in a joyful tone: "Hahahahahaha, I knew his magic was unreliable! If he had come to ask me to throw a satellite up to connect him to the Internet earlier, would it be necessary to go through so much trouble?"
Stark's mood was obviously much better, and the expression on his face could be called beaming with joy. After all, he and Strange had been at odds for a long time. The two seemed to be incompatible, and they would feel uncomfortable if they didn't quarrel when they met.
In the field of scientific and magical research, although the two cooperated, they were more competitive. Science envied the convenience of magic, and magic envied the system of science, but neither of them gave in and had to distinguish the superiority.
Although science is the mainstream in the society of ordinary people, and more outstanding scientists have emerged after the operation of the solar system development plan, but in terms of interstellar exploration, magic is too dominant, so the two sides can be said to be evenly matched.
When Stark thought that Strange would also beg him one day, he felt that the sun was shining and the food was delicious. A lot of messy redundant thoughts were cleared out of his mind in an instant, and his mind was full of ideas to make money.
When a person is in a good mood, his appetite will naturally open up. Now Stark knows why Schiller ordered so many dishes.
He stuffed the burger into his mouth in two or three bites, dragged Schiller's plate to the middle, and took up the knife and fork without hesitation and started to wolf it down.
After that, neither of them spoke, but concentrated on eating. When Schiller worked in the hospital before, he basically had no time to eat properly, and he ate some white meals to deal with.
I don’t know why the portions in Stark’s cafeteria are so large, or the portions of the dishes in front of them are so large. The two of them ate so much that they were full before they almost finished all the dishes.
After finishing his meal, Schiller wiped his mouth and changed the subject: "How is the Star Core Space Station? The trial run should be good."
"No big problem." Stark said: "Although only the core components are my technology, the rest of the parts are not difficult. Except that one section of the space station was always unstable when docking, the others are all good."
"Are all the staff in place?"
"Of course, they have been working for almost two months, and everything is going well." Stark thought for a while and said: "Humanity has never had such a large space station. In addition to sending astronauts, various countries have also sent some ordinary technical engineers and cleaning staff. They should have settled in now."
"Is Peter's uncle on it?"
"Yes, he has completed a round of work and went home to rest." Stark said: "Considering that all countries have sufficient manpower, they use a shift system, with a cycle of two months. When the time comes, another group of people will come up."
"This is not bad. After all, many technical workers who have not received professional training can't stand being separated from their families for a long time."
"In fact, we plan to send astronauts and station personnel to the astronauts and station personnel. Scientists also adopt this system. After all, no one wants to be separated from their family for a long time, and there is no shortage of people now. "
"So what about the technical cooperation among countries?"
Stark waved his hand and said, "It's not about countries. It's mainly Sino-US technical cooperation. Some engines are built in Russia. Europe is responsible for electronic chip technology. The small transport aircraft entering and leaving the space station is Wakanda's technology. Weak magnetic docking is developed by mutants. Most of the other countries are cheering. "
"Don't those small countries have any ideas?"
Stark thought about it and said, "The Middle East is more ambitious. Relying on their own money, they have spent money on other countries to exchange technicians. They have built more than a dozen laboratories and plan to carry out independent development. "
"The Nordic countries are still in the same mental state. They are too advanced. They have put all their skills in the aesthetic research of the exterior and interior. It seems that they have made up their minds to take the route of art students. "
"Several small countries around the big countries, such as Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Central America and South America, and even the American enclaves, Canada and Australia, basically follow the route of the big countries to do some work to fill in the gaps. "
"The only weird one is India." Stark showed an indescribable expression and said: "They are very motivated and feel that they have the strength, but there is no part of the entire space station except their cabin. The responsible departments dare to let the Indians get their hands on it, and I think they are wise.”

"Can't you just reject them?"
"Of course not, it's a big country after all." Stark sighed and said, "Actually, I don't understand what they want to do. If they want to lay a solid foundation, they should introduce talents and improve the hardware level like the Middle East. If you follow the path of independence, even if you can't develop any mainstream technology, you can master a few supplementary technology patents to fill in the gaps of mainstream technology, which is enough to drink the soup of the interstellar era. "
"But not only do they not bring in talents, they also drive away scientific and technological talents. Now there are Indians applying for jobs in major laboratories around the world, as if they have to squeeze in and cause trouble."
"If he wants to take the vassal state route, he doesn't have allies around him. As long as he shows some sincerity, he can always negotiate some cooperation projects. Even if he only takes over the manufacturing industry, he can make a lot of money. But for such a long time, there has been no It depends on what project was negotiated, maybe their environment is really unfriendly to foreign investment.”
Stark shook his head, obviously not understanding India's move. Schiller asked with some concern: "Are you sure the key components are not made in India?"
"Don't worry, China has always had excess production capacity. Our research and development speed cannot keep up with their production speed. Except for some patented parts that have not yet been opened, they are basically made in China."
"So how's the patent cooperation going?"
"This part has never been optimistic." Stark rubbed his temples and said: "Everyone is holding on to their own little bit of wealth as a treasure, and various restrictions have been added after the opening up. Some do not allow production abroad, and some do not allow production abroad. There are requirements for the service life, and Nick organized several negotiations, which basically ended in discord.”
"Then what do you plan to do? Do you really plan to stay in the laboratory until eternity, and then develop technologies that transcend the times and eliminate them all?"
Stark glanced at Schiller in surprise, wondering why he knew his train of thought, but now that he had seen it, he could only say: "Okay, almost, I know this idea is a bit stupid, but at least it's still Kind of hopeful, isn’t it?”
"As long as one person's technology can always lead the world, the rest of the people will have to cooperate even if they don't cooperate, otherwise they will never be able to eat the cutting-edge cake, and no one will be happy."
"But don't you think this is a stupid idea?"
"Of course I know." Stark emphasized again: "But what can I do? As a psychiatrist, don't you know that human nature cannot stand the test, and the ultimate answer of game theory is war?"
"It is more difficult than anyone imagines to use peaceful means to move humanity forward," Schiller said. "Of course I understand that, but I think you are just scratching the surface."
"What's the meaning?"
"There is a proverb in the ancient East, which is that stones from other mountains can attack jade." Schiller said this sentence in Chinese, and then he translated it, "It means that when you find that head-on confrontation is not going to work, maybe you can find someone to fight against." A tricky way."
Stark narrowed his eyes and stared at him, still not guessing what he was going to say.
"If you want to use science to defeat science, and defeat all mankind with the power of one person, the effort required is beyond what anyone can bear. There is no point in doing this except destroying yourself."
"What should we do?"
"Use magic." Schiller shrugged and said, "In some fields, magic is a dimensionality reduction blow to science. It may be that all human scientists have worked hard for hundreds of years to achieve results. In the magic world, only small wizards can do it." Ordinary spells."
Although Stark didn't want to admit it, he still nodded. It was indeed the case. Children like Karma Taj and others who had just entered school for two years were able to teleport around with hanging rings. However, there is still nothing that can be popularized on a large scale in the human scientific community. Transmission technology that can be widely used, otherwise there would be no need for air transportation.
"But magic depends on talent." Stark immediately pointed out, "There may not be a few magicians among 100 million people. Those great wizards traveled to all countries, and they only found a few hundred students. ?”
The implication is that although these technologies are good, if most people cannot use them, there will be no market. Without the market, there will be no benefits. Without benefits, no one will be willing to invest too much in research and development. It cannot be said that only talented people can use teleportation technology. Bar?
"That's true." Schiller nodded without denying it, but said, "But maybe there is a way."
"What?"
"What if everyone had a gift for magic?"
"This is impossible." Stark denied it. He said: "It's not like you haven't heard Stephen's long argument. The affinity for magical elements comes from the nature of the soul, and the nature of the soul comes from the synchronization of the parents' souls. Yes. Totally random."
"But isn't the essence of science just to transform randomness?" Schiller smiled, looked at Stark and said, "Isn't man-made talent for controlling magic the best answer to science's defeat of magic?"
Stark's heart beat wildly.
