Technology Bigshot

"Hello, Mr. Charles, our chairman is having an impromptu company meeting, and will meet with you as soon as possible after the end."

When Charles Boll, who was dressed in formal attire, came to the headquarters of Matrix Technology, he saw the young and beautiful oriental female receptionist in front of him politely speaking fluent English, but cursed inwardly, with a typical appearance on the surface. The American smile politely responded: "It's okay."

"Mr. Charles, please move to the VIP room."

"Mr. Charles, your coffee."

"thanks."

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm taking the liberty to ask, when will R. end the meeting?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Charles. There is no exact time for the chairman's meeting. Do you have any questions, Mr. Charles?"

"that's all, thanks."

"Okay, Mr. Charles, if you need anything, you can press the button next to you."

"thanks."

In the spacious and bright luxurious VIP waiting room, Charles with an American smile on his face saw the smiling receptionist turn around, the smiling face disappeared in a flash, his face was expressionless, he didn't say a word, and he sat there motionless Yes, he was actually cursing in his heart, he hated this Chinese way of meeting.

Is Ren Hong in a meeting? But no, this is because he deliberately put Charles aside. Waiting is the most hateful thing in this world, especially in an emergency. After a long vacation, no matter how calm people are, they will become more or less impetuous. What Ren Hong wants is to add fire to Charles on this basis.

At this moment, he is sitting comfortably on the sofa in a comfortable room next to Charles. Ren Hong is holding a top-quality Cuban cigar in his hand, sitting on the sofa in a lazy posture, his eyes Staring at the video ahead, the content is an interpretation video, a hostess and two experts. The core topic surrounding the interpretation is the "Orion" spacecraft crash and related issues related to its visit to Matrix Technology.

In the quiet room, only a few experts in the video analyzed the sound thoroughly. Ren Hong's eyes were fixed on the video content, but his mind was no longer in it.

Regarding the hottest topic in this global discussion, Ren Hong is secondary to the issue of whether to save people. He is most concerned about the issue of the Ziyuan crystal mine. Once he chooses to lend a helping hand, many things will be exposed For example, if you sail 400 million kilometers in 100 days, it will take three years for others to complete the voyage of more than 400 million kilometers, but you only need 100 days, a simple message will reveal a lot of vital information, and They all shocked the world.

In fact, with regard to these issues, our side has already found an excuse to cover up the truth and convince the outside world, and the ultimate goal is to use illusions to cover up the purple source spar to the outside world. This newly discovered energy reserve ore has been used for several years. It was written into the national important material reserve law before, not only became the national strategic reserve material, but also ranked in the echelon of the first priority, belonging to the highest top secret information.

This kind of energy spar with high energy storage has a higher status than any strategic material, and is listed as the cornerstone of national space activities. The "Mars Express" can carry a super weight of more than 4,000 tons at 100 within a few days to complete the voyage that others take years to reach,

Ziyuan spar is the basis for realizing this impossible thing. The construction of "Tiangong Circular Star Port" can be completed at such an efficient speed, which is inseparable from the powerful and low-cost "Arc Eagle" aerospace transport aircraft. The transportation cost, and this is where the purple source spar plays a key role.

There are countless more examples. If we say that in the past years, oil was the blood transfusion energy of human industry, then the status of Amethyst in the field of space exploration is just like that of petroleum energy in addition to industry. It can be seen that Amethyst has a certain status How high it is, and what role it will play in the field of space exploration in the future.

Such materials can be concealed for a longer period of time so that the Republic will have a higher dominance in the future era of spaceflight.

The National Aviation Administration handed over the decision-making power to itself, which is actually equivalent to throwing a hot potato into its arms. It is absolutely the first priority to prevent Lao Mei from knowing what her real actions are on Mars.

Ren Hong shook his head helplessly and smiled, put away the thoughts in his head, looked at the time, estimated in his heart that it was almost there, and then got up and left.

Charles Boll, who was extremely anxious, looked at the clock on his wrist again and again. If this was his own office, old Charles would probably have erupted, but he still had to endure it!

The door slammed lightly, and Charles looked up and finally saw the figure. I saw Ren Hong, who was wearing a gray and black short-sleeved shirt, walking towards him with an apologetic smile.

Seeing that the lord finally came, Charles had a lot of thoughts in his heart, so he got up immediately, and the two sides shook hands politely. Ren Hong said: "I'm very sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Charles, I thought this temporary meeting would be over soon. It's over, I didn't expect that it took so long, and Ren would apologize to you."

There was nothing wrong with Ren Hong's words and deeds, as if a long impromptu meeting had really been held, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, nothing more. Especially for people at their level, there is nothing wrong with their acting skills. Charles was yelling in his heart, but it didn't matter if he responded politely on the surface.

After a while, the two sat opposite each other. At this time, a beautiful female receptionist brought two cups of coffee. After Charles waited for only two people left in the room, he wanted to get straight to the point and wanted to speak first, but was unexpectedly caught Ren Hong took the lead and said: "I am deeply sorry for the recent news about the disaster of the Orion spacecraft crash. Mr. Charles, there is no doubt that all human adventurers in space are truly great people, no Regardless of national boundaries and races, the tragic death of Algernon and other three astronauts is not only a loss for the United States, but also a huge loss for all mankind."

"Thank you, R. Ren." Charles held back for a while, and could only say this sentence. The language that was originally organized was a bit messy, and he knew that this was a big taboo in negotiations. However, it is difficult for anyone standing in Charles' current situation to maintain absolute calm, and the other party is such a difficult opponent, at least judging from the other party's past life and deeds, he is definitely a person who needs to be taken seriously.

Charles looked at Ren Hong and said with a sincere and sincere tone: "I believe that I will pass this painful period soon and get back up again."

"Thank you for your blessing, r. Ren." Charles forced a smile, and before Ren Hong could answer again, he hurriedly said, "Well, you must have understood something about the bureau chief I met with some time ago."

Ren Hong watched Charles impatiently wanting to get to the point quickly, and smiled in his heart, but on the surface he looked at him seriously and nodded to show that he knew, and he couldn't find anything wrong.

Charles didn't pay much attention to it but continued: "Orion's unfortunate encounter, but we still have Duncan Jones and Skovo who are still trapped on Mars. They could have supported Noah with the rich supplies brought by Noah. 2 arrived, but because the main living materials had been sent to the surface of Mars, the other part was also crashed and lost along with Orion, and the only manned lander had crashed, and Duncan was trapped in a food-deficient orbit. The living supplies for 5 people are prepared on the Noah, and Duncan is the only one at present. The living supplies above can allow him to last for 587 days alone, but Noah 2 will arrive in three years after preparing for departure at the fastest speed. Mars"

"But it's not hopeless." Charles stared at Ren Hong, and the two sides looked at each other without avoiding each other. He added: "Your spaceship has been setting off for more than 100 days, and it should be able to last until Duncan runs out of supplies. People from Fang rushed to Mars, so I am here to ask for your help."

When Ren Hong heard this, he felt happy. I'm afraid the other party didn't know that the "Mars Express" had already entered the range of the planet's gravitational field, but it just received the information from the earth and did not send it back to the earth. The information, coupled with the red alert that was ordered to stand by silently not long ago, led the whole world to think that the "Mars Express" was still on its way.

Ren Hong had already seen from Charles' words that the Yankee's patience was slowly becoming impetuous. With a hint of surprise on his face, he said awkwardly: "Mr. Charles, in fact, we really want to be able to do this again." Do your part, but the Gemini project costs a lot of money. We go to Mars with our own mission. If we choose one, we have to give up the other. Do you know how much the Gemini project cost? 600 billion US dollars budget , which is equivalent to your country’s one-year military expenditure, which is nearly the sum of our country’s two-year military expenditure, who will make up for my loss??”

Charles narrowed his eyes, "I'm just kidding, R. Ren, lending a helping hand does not mean the failure of your twin plan. These are two completely different concepts. How can they be mixed together?"

"Of course." Ren Hong was noncommittal, and then raised his legs and said: "Mr. Charles, you are also a leader in space exploration, and you know better than anyone that space exploration has always been a direct huge investment, long indirect benefits and even water. Drift. And Mars is very special. Its long distance from the earth is like a catalyst to further expand the cost and energy. Once we choose to help this, maybe our plan will lag for a long time. This negative chain effect you It should be very clear that the launch may be delayed for several months after a problem with a screw on the rocket is discovered. Once we choose to help, many established plans must be disrupted. This kind of invisible loss is the biggest loss. .”

Ren Hong leaned back on the sofa and said: "To put it bluntly, Mr. Charles, I am a businessman who pays attention to benefits and returns. If you stand in my position, what choice do you think I should make?"

These words are tantamount to tearing away the last reserve and entering into naked interest negotiations.

To be continued.
