Zhou Xing turned his head suddenly, his majestic eyes passing over everyone's faces one by one.
Seeing Zhou Xing's gaze, Yang Minghua, Lin Wei, and others were all shocked. Everyone knew that something big was going to happen next.
This stormy momentum was very frightening. Chen Fan trembled and asked nervously: "Mr. Zhou, if you have any orders, just tell me!".
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi with a penetrating gaze and ordered: "Accelerate the construction progress of the Panshi, adjust the direction of the Panshi's use, and activate the 'Ark Project'."
Project Ark
Yang Minghua, Lin Wei and others looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"Okay! Boss, do you want to change the Panshi to the 'Ark Mothership'?" Zhou Xiaozhi confirmed to Zhou Xing.
"That's right! The Ark project must be completed within four years. Can it be done?" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked nervously.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi looked at the holographic screen. Immediately, the large holographic screen in the center of the conference table displayed the complex general design of the Panshi mothership. The lines of the design were constantly changing, the internal space was readjusted, and various equipment was added or subtracted. The dense data is constantly changing and adjusting. At the same time, the earth, the space shipyard, and related production chains have changed, the construction period has been shortened... and so on, all the data changes are superimposed... Even if Zhou Xiaozhi's tens of trillions of computing power, thirty seconds The clock has passed and it is still calculating.
The conference room was silent for a while.
"Boss, with the temporary change of purpose of the Panshi, coupled with the 32% advance in construction schedule, the cost of the Panshi will increase by 23% and is expected to require: 47 trillion yuan." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily: "As long as it can be completed, someone will always provide the money."
After hearing Zhou Xing's words, Yang Minghua was shocked and quickly asked: "Mr. Zhou, what is the Ark Project? The Panshi construction project is a project authorized by the federal conference. How can it be easily changed?"
When they saw Zhou Xing's expression looking wrong just now, they knew that the situation had changed, and they knew that he was actually interested in the "Panshi" project.
You know, after Zhou Xing announced the "Panshi" project to the global public at the press conference, it greatly inspired human civilization. Therefore, even if the Panshi is expensive enough to build four or five more cities in the sky, the federal government has to obey. Public opinion approved the project.
However, the construction of the space dock is in full swing, and the "Panshi" project is about to start. At this critical moment, Zhou Xing actually threw out the Ark Plan, and wanted to transform the interstellar carrier Panshi into some kind of Ark mothership, and The federal government needs to increase its budget...
Yang Minghua, Lin Wei, Xie Liwu and others all changed their expressions when they thought about the various difficult problems they would face next.
"Mr. Zhou, where did the Ark Project come from? Why don't we know about it?" Xie Liwu asked with a sudden change in expression.
"Yes! Mr. Zhou, how can such an important project as the Panshi be changed so easily!" Chen Fan looked at Zhou Xing with a bitter look on his face.
"The preliminary preparations for the Panshi project are almost complete. Making rash changes at this time will cause countless troubles!" Lin Wei looked at Zhou Xing and advised him earnestly.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing smiled slightly, faced everyone's gaze and explained, "Okay! Don't be anxious, just listen to my introduction."
"When it was discovered that there was a planet in the TRAPPIST-1 galaxy 40 light years away from the earth that was extremely suitable for human settlement, the Ark Project was designed. We can't put all our eggs in one basket. We didn't have the ability before, but now we have it. Just in case What crisis has arisen for humans on Earth? After the Ark Plan is implemented, human civilization can continue on other planets." Zhou Xing explained while looking at the crowd.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
"There is a crisis for humanity on earth? Mr. Zhou, are you hiding something from us?" Yang Minghua asked, looking at Zhou Xing breaking sand.
Xie Liwu was refreshed, thought of something, and asked Zhou Xing: "It's the question just now, Mr. Zhou, is it related to that question?"
Zhou Xing smiled bitterly, shook his head, and advised: "Don't think too much about it. There is a problem, but it's not serious to that extent. I'm just taking precautions before it happens."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, speechless.
Zhou Xing has always been very strict about what he doesn't want them to know. No matter how you ask, you can't get an answer from him.
"Mr. Zhou, can you tell me the details of the Ark Project?" Yang Minghua asked Zhou Xingdao curiously.
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered: "Xiaozhi, please explain it to everyone!"
"Okay, old version." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded to Zhou Xing, looked at the holographic screen, and introduced to everyone: "The entire Ark plan consists of five sub-projects. The first part: the Ark mothership must have a self-circulating system and be able to In a limited resource environment, it can complete important functions such as self-repair, self-improvement, and self-supply to meet the long-term survival needs of all crew members on the Ark. This self-circulating system involves nanorobots, recycling ecological technology, and recycled material technology... "
"In the second part, the Ark Mothership must prepare for the impact of various violent cosmic activities, reduce its attack power, and strengthen the mothership's defense, survivability, and power output..."
"The third part is to establish a complete set of colonization plans and measures, which can be divided into 12 major sub-projects: alien biochemical virus defense system, seed development base placement and development, newborn gestation and cultivation, and improvement of the upstream and downstream establishment of the industrial manufacturing chain. , Alien resource data collection, colonial war defense system... all kinds of things, 12 sub-projects, involving 17,000 small items."
"The fourth part, the Ark mothership must be equipped with a large number of top experts in biology, physics, Chinese studies, literature... and other fields, carrying the documents of human society, the genes of earth species... and other complete knowledge inheritance systems, waiting for human civilization After establishing a foothold on the alien planet, we will continue the continuation of the fire of human civilization on Earth."
"the fifth part… "
While explaining, Zhou Xiaozhi controlled the content played on the holographic screen, and kept introducing the details of the Ark project to Yang Minghua, Lin Wei and others.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed. Yang Minghua, Lin Wei and others began to pale as they listened. The contents of the Ark Project were all-encompassing. Once Zhou Xiaozhi introduced it, he seemed like he could not finish it for several hours.
"Thank you Xiaozhi, we can just get to know each other a little bit." Yang Minghua interrupted Zhou Xiaozhi's explanation and said.
"I understand, you're welcome!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded understandingly and stopped explaining.
Yang Minghua frowned and looked at Zhou Xing and said: "Mr. Zhou, the Ark Project requires you to personally communicate with the federal government!"
"Yes! Mr. Zhou, we are so humble about such a major project!" Xie Liwu nodded, fully agreeing with Yang Minghua's proposal.
Although they are the CEOs of Shining Star Group, managing tens of trillions of assets and millions of employees, their status pales in comparison to major projects like Project Ark that are closely related to the federal government, and they have no confidence to compete with the government. negotiation.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned. The reason why he told them about this project was because he did not want to get involved in trivial matters involving the federal government.
"How about my dad? Let him be responsible for this project." Zhou Xing looked at Yang Minghua and said.
"Old Mr. Zhou! Yes, of course."
"No problem, it's absolutely fine for Mr. Zhou to come forward."
"Yes! We will do our best to assist Mr. Zhou."
“…”
Hearing this, Yang Minghua and Xie Liwu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement. Anyway, the Zhou family must come forward for this "big trouble". As for whether it is Zhou Xing, Zhou Wenhai, or even Zhou Wenhua, anyone can do it, they shoulder I'm not that tough, I can't bear this burden.
"You guys!" Zhou Xing looked at Yang Minghua and the others and smiled bitterly.
If you mention this matter to your father, what will happen at home? When he thought about this problem, Zhou Xing's head was as big as an ox's.
It has been decided to implement the "View" project, so the Ark Project must not be delayed. If Dad refuses to come forward, he will need to take charge of this project. Zhou Xing's profound eyes flashed with determination.
Zhou Xing looked at Yang Minghua and the others and asked, "Okay! It's getting late, do you have anything to explain?"
Hearing this, Yang Minghua, Lin Wei and others seemed to have heard some great news, and their spirits were all shaken.
"I'm all right!"
"It's okay, I've said everything I need to say!"
"I'm fine here too!"
“…”
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, all the CEOs at the conference table nodded, and they all looked like "the world is at peace."
"I'm having a dinner at my house tonight, would you like to..." Zhou Xing looked at everyone and prepared to invite.
Xie Liwu suddenly looked at Yang Minghua, interrupted Zhou Xing, and said, "By the way, Brother Yang, we seem to have a dinner party with Mr. Liu and the others tonight. If we don't go, we will be late!"
"Yes! Mr. Zhou, if nothing happens, Lao Xie and I have to leave first!" Yang Minghua perked up and quickly stood up to ask Zhou Xing for instructions.
Zhou Xing glared at them angrily, nodded and said, "Well, it's okay, you go ahead!"
Yang Minghua stood up impatiently, walked one step at a time with Xie Liwu, and quickly left the conference room.
Zhou Xingzhuan looked at Chen Fan and opened his mouth to speak.
Chen Fan suddenly stood up, and Ai Ai said to Zhou Xing: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I, I also have a dinner party, so..."
Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but rolled his eyes, waved angrily at Chen Fan and said, "Go away!"
If Chen Fan was granted amnesty, he followed Yang Minghua and Xie Liwu and disappeared in the conference room in the blink of an eye.
"Mr. Zhou!" Lin Wei stood up slowly.
Zhou Xing looked at Lin Wei and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. "Sister Lin, don't you have a dinner party too?"
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for the invitation. Today is my grandson Lin Maosen's birthday. I have to go home to celebrate that kid's birthday, so..." Lin Wei looked at Zhou Xing apologetically.
Zhou Xing nodded and suddenly looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and said, "Well! Xiaozhi, what does Xiao Maosen like? Give him a birthday gift and wish him a happy birthday."
"Okay, boss, I'll prepare a model of the Panshi as a birthday gift for him." Zhou Xiaozhi responded to Zhou Xing.
"Mr. Zhou! I want to thank you on behalf of Mao Sen." Lin Wei smiled softly, thanked her, turned and left the conference room.
Looking at Lin Wei's leaving figure, Zhou Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly. Each one was as slippery as a loach, but the last one who stayed was still confident.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing with a puzzled face and asked: "Boss, are you worried that Father Zhou won't come forward? If he knows that you are in trouble, he will definitely help you?"
"If it's dad, the problem can be easily solved! The other guy is the trouble!" Zhou Xing's head was as big as an ox.
"It's Xiaoyu?" Zhou Xiaozhi guessed in surprise.
If not him, who could it be? Zhou Yu has determined that he wants the commander of the Panshi mothership. This is something that is well known to the top management of the Shining Star Group. Once the Panshi mothership is changed into an Ark mothership, it will definitely go to other planets. Therefore, no matter Zhou Xing, this commander No matter what, I won't let him do it.
However, Zhou Yu has been determined to become an interstellar commander since he was a child. He has always been firm in this dream and has never changed. It may not be easy to persuade him.
How wonderful it would be if Zhou Yu wanted to be like him when he was a child! When he was a child, he wanted to be a great scientist. When he was older, he wanted to be a football player. When he was in elementary school, he wanted to be a policeman. One dream at a time. If he hadn't been possessed by the great scientist's auxiliary system, how could Zhou Xing continue his childhood dream and become a A hard-working great scientist
When Zhou Xing thought about the "dream" issue, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He had suffered enough over the years for the entire absurd "dream", and he didn't know when he would be free.
The night outside the window is getting dark, and the Sky City suddenly lights up. It is installed on high-rise buildings and on airways... Hundreds of millions of LEDs light up at the same time. The colorful lights decorate the magnificent Sky City beautifully. .
The conference room was silent for a while. Zhou Xiaozhi suddenly reminded Zhou Xing, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, and said: "Boss, my family called you to urge you to go back for dinner."
well! Trouble always has to be faced. Zhou Xing nodded with a wry smile, stood up, and walked heavily out of the conference room.
The residence of the Zhou family is located at the foot of the "Top of Civilization", hidden inside the most beautiful Central Park in the Sky City.
In the brightly lit Central Park, artificial lakes are sparkling, willows are cuddling, and the breeze is blowing. A manor with a layout that is somewhat familiar to the "Bauhinia Rose Garden" sits on the shore of the lake. Roses of various colors are planted in the yard. , fighting for beauty.
Zhou Xing took the viewing elevator from the top floor of the "Top of Civilization" to the ground floor, stepped into Central Park, and walked slowly toward the "Bauhinia Rose Garden".
Seeing Zhou Xing walking into the restaurant, Zhou Yu greeted excitedly: "Dad, come and eat quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
"Eat, eat!" Zhou Wenhai glanced at Zhou Xing and turned to greet everyone.
Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and walked straight to the empty seat at the round table.
The small round table in the restaurant was filled with sumptuous delicacies and was filled with steaming heat. After Zhou Xing sat down, a family of five gathered around to eat, with constant laughter and laughter, and a warm atmosphere filled the air.
