Xue Xiling was also a little discouraged: "It is indeed difficult. We still have no clue of development. There are too many difficulties to overcome. If we want to rely solely on star stones to operate a city and make a city move, the number of star stones required is too large and the cost is very high. Even if the human alliance uses all its strength, it is estimated that it cannot afford it.
"The main areas of consideration now are how to use starstone energy more efficiently and develop energy that can replace starstone. However, the latest research has made us very discouraged. Even if the utilization rate of starstone is maximized, moving a mobile city with a population of tens of millions by a distance of seven kilometers is enough to bankrupt the ruling centers of major cities in the Human Alliance."
Seven thousand meters, this distance is completely unable to avoid most natural disasters. No wonder Xue Xiling sounded a little discouraged.
"Then there is no new energy source that can replace the star stone?" Gu Ran asked, and at the same time he thought of the triangular crystal cone on his body.
The heritage ruins of the mermaids may have been operating for thousands of years, relying solely on the absorption of energy from the sea - of course, the flesh and souls of the mermaids also seem to have a replenishing effect on it, but no one knows how and where exactly they work.
If we can study the technology hidden in the triangular crystal cone, can we take humanity's current research on mobile cities a step further
Xiao Chaofeng, who had been listening on the side, sighed and said, "No, at least for now, Lanxin University has not found any energy source better than Star Stone, or even an energy source that can replace Star Stone.
"In fact, I also really hope that technology can advance. In that case, humans should be able to obtain more materials and a larger living space. In this way, will the slums no longer exist and everyone can live like the people in the inner city?"
Promote productivity improvement
I didn't expect that he had such insight, and that he wasn't just thinking about fighting and killing, but was also an idealist.
Gu Ran began to look at Xiao Chaofeng with some respect.
"We're here." Xiao Chaofeng said.
After the conversation just now, Gu Ran and his team have reached the core area of Lanxin University, which is also the location of the president's office.
For some reason, Gu Ran actually felt a little nervous.
It wasn't because he was afraid, but because the person he was going to meet was actually someone he admired.
When reading various books related to Star Stone Technology in the library of St. John's University, the president of Lyceum University appeared frequently, because the breadth and depth of his research were truly astonishing.
Even though Principal Xue modestly said that he only "knows a little bit", the achievements and contributions he has made cannot be underestimated by the academic community.
Gu Ran actually admired this extremely intelligent scholar.
Because they drive the productivity of society, allowing humanity to develop in a better direction and making humanity happier.
"Oh? Are they here? Open the door for them." A loudspeaker in front of the office sounded again, but it didn't seem to be directed at them.
The door was opened with a "click".
"Welcome!" An unnatural mechanical voice came from the door.
A robot that looked very much like an android robot had two small lantern-like eyes and was completely black. It looked at Gu Ran and the others, and politely extended its mechanical little hand like a master.
"Oh, has that old stubborn been made? It still doesn't look very good. If the skin is made like a human's, maybe it can be more realistic." Xiao Chaofeng said, touching his chin.
"What is this? A robot? Is its name Android?" Gu Ran asked in surprise.
"A robot? It's still a long way from that. Right now it just has some fixed programs to do this. I haven't thought of a name yet, but calling it Android seems like a good idea."
The elegant voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Dad, I'm back!" Xue Xiling shouted happily, just like a college student who had just returned home from summer vacation.
"I already know everything. The abyss demon's invasion is indeed no small matter. I have already notified the school's council members that a small meeting will be held in the evening to discuss the anomaly of the Dragon Blood River."
Along the way, Gu Ran had observed that Lanxin University was filled with various small loudspeakers, and these small loudspeakers seemed to be an extension of the Lanxin University president's voice, able to convey his voice at any time.
The president of Lyceum University seemed to be in full control of all situations within the school. He probably knew everything from the moment they entered Lyceum University.
However, what surprised Gu Ran was that there were relatively few surveillance cameras inside Lanxin University, with only surveillance cameras installed at a few important intersections.
Then how does he control the specific situation of Lanxin University
Could it be that there are some secret surveillance cameras that have not been revealed
However, even though Gu Ran integrated into the environment and explored a little, he did not find any hidden surveillance cameras.
This almost made Gu Ran feel that he was judging others by his own standards.
However, when he was about to step into the principal's office, Gu Ran suddenly felt something strange in his heart. This strange feeling was very small and almost disappeared in an instant.
Gu Ran did not show it on his face and continued to walk inside with Xiao Chaofeng and Xue Xiling.
I had thought that the office of the president of Lanxin University would be very luxurious, but to Gu Ran's surprise, it was very large, but very simple. There were no luxurious decorations, just a simple corridor with nothing hanging on the walls.
Gu Ran roughly felt it and felt that the strength of the floor should be very high.
After walking for dozens of meters, Gu Ran and his friends finally saw a corner.
"We have arrived at the destination. Welcome to come next time." The "Android Robot" said with his eyes flashing a few times.
Around the corner was a simple-looking door.
Xiao Chaofeng walked forward and knocked on the door vigorously: "Hey, old stubborn man, open the door, we are already here."
I don't know what material the door is made of, but it makes a very dull and weak sound. It seems that even if you are playing some noisy games inside, no one outside will know.
The door slowly opened, and a room that looked more like a laboratory than an office appeared before my eyes.
The room was spacious, as big as a football field, but it was filled with various containers and machines, and the floor was also littered with various mechanical parts and tools.
"Dad, your place is always so messy." Xue Xiling wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly.
"Is it messy? Hahaha, I don't think it's messy. Messy is a subjective feeling of human beings, usually visual and psychological. What you see is the visual feeling, and the visual feeling triggers your psychological feeling. But if you are familiar with this environment, even if the visual feeling is 'messy', it will not cause you a 'messy' feeling on the psychological level."
The president of Lyceum University had his back to them, wearing a clean white scientific research suit. He did not move anything, but the various wrenches and machines in front of him were moving on their own.
Xiao Chaofeng: "Can you say something that I can understand more easily?"
"In fact, to put it simply, Dad is just making excuses for his bad habits that he won't change. Although it looks messy here to us, to him, it's not messy at all. He can find everything he wants. So why bother to 'tidy up' it?" Xue Xiling shook her head and said.
"Smart, worthy of being my daughter, that's what I mean."
The man turned his head. He was wearing a pair of simple black-framed glasses, his hair was mixed with a few strands of white, and he had a smile on his face.
"Hello, my name is Xue Yingsong, I am the president of Lanxin University and also a researcher."
"Dear guest from afar, I would like to invite you to join Lyceum University and my research team. Are you willing?"
127. Am I really the destined one? The truth of that year! 4k
This sudden invitation took everyone by surprise.
What is the status of Lyceum University
What is the identity of the president of Lyceum University
Although Gu Ran is very powerful, he is just a bounty hunter. No matter how you think about it, he has nothing to do with the researchers at Lanxin University, right
This has nothing to do with strength, but with wisdom and knowledge.
Xue Xiling said in surprise: "Dad, Leng Ran is a bounty hunter, did you say it wrong? Did you mean to invite Gu Ran to become a member of the Lanxin University Guard?"
Xiao Chaofeng understood his old friend better. He knew that he must have his reasons for doing this, but he couldn't figure out what that reason was.
As for the possibility that Gu Ran was really capable of taking on the position of researcher at Lanxin University, it was instantly rejected in his mind.
Could it be that he...
Xiao Chaofeng looked at Gu Ran, then at Xue Yingsong, comparing the two people's appearances.
"Old Xiao, you are wrong. I invited him to join Lanxin University and become my researcher not out of personal feelings, but out of public interest." As a friend for many years, Xue Yingsong knew what Xiao Chaofeng was thinking as soon as he saw his expression.
Out of public interest
Xiao Chaofeng was really confused. He looked Gu Ran up and down. Could it be that this guy was a hidden talent
The field of scientific research is different from the field of cultivation. People who have extraordinary talents in supernatural powers and martial arts may not necessarily have any talent in the field of scientific research, and vice versa.
Although he recognized Gu Ran's strength, Gu Ran's talent and strength in the field of scientific research could not be tested by just fighting, so he was unaware of Gu Ran's knowledge and scientific research ability.
But judging from Gu Ran's appearance, he looks to be in his early twenties.
It is already amazing to have such strength, so how can one have the energy to make achievements in scientific research
This is Xiao Chaofeng’s idea.
But in fact, Gu Ran was not even twenty years old at that time. The reason why Xiao Chaofeng thought he was a little "older" was that, firstly, he had not trimmed his beard for a long time, and secondly, he had a mature and steady temperament. These two factors combined made him look a lot "older".
If Xiao Chaofeng knew Gu Ran’s real age, he would be even less optimistic about Gu Ran’s knowledge.
Knowledge is like cultivation. If you want to surpass others, you need extraordinary talent, hard work and accumulation of time.
Moreover, having extraordinary knowledge can make one a scholar, but it does not make one a qualified researcher.
If we carefully classify scholars and researchers, they are quite different. At Lyceum University, researchers are more likely to face practical topics and need to discover and solve problems.
Scholars can focus on theoretical issues and specialize in subjects such as history and philosophy that do not require solving practical problems.
A researcher can be a scholar, but a scholar is not necessarily a researcher.
Obviously, Xue Yingsong invited Gu Ran to join Lanxin University and join his research project not to make Gu Ran an idealist scholar, but to let him join practical research projects.
Xue Yingsong looked at Gu Ran and smiled, "I know my request may be a little abrupt to you, but I really sincerely invite you to join Lanxin University and my research group."
Looking at this elegant middle-aged man, Gu Ran fell silent for a moment.
Should he agree to it
What exactly does the other party want to do
... ...
All the strong men outside the light screen also felt very confused.
