Below the elevator, waiting room.

"How is your illness recovering?" Standing at the entrance to the elevator, Hong Zewei asked casually.

“It’s almost restored,” Dr. Amos smiled and said in a relaxed tone. “And I’m more willing to call it’s instinct recovery than illness, just need to undergo some adaptive training to eliminate it. It is not a particularly serious condition."

"Instinctive recovery."

“Yes, when Gaia gave us memories, she accidentally gave us their behavior habits,” Dr. Amos continued. “This flower of memory interferes not only with our cerebral cortex and hippocampus. It also has a radiological effect on other parts of the brain. It is also excusable to produce such results. After all, they cannot predict the species that will take over their heritage in the future, and what kind of structure the brain is. When I remembered the information in memory, I noticed a special phenomenon."

"What is the phenomenon?" Hong Zewei stunned.

"In all the materials from billions of years ago, there is no detailed record of the 'flower of memory', but a lot of pen and ink is wasted on some of the details. I boldly speculate that perhaps this kind of thing would have been It’s not that they are made, so the impact is not what they can determine.”

“The flowers of memory are not made by them?” Hong Zewei said with a smile. “Who is that? Can it be another higher civilization?”

"It's really like this," Amos smiled. "Of course, everything is just my inference. After all, everything we see is always the tip of the iceberg relative to the entire universe."

Just as the two men spoke in a chattering voice, the radio in the waiting room rang on the elevator.

"It's not too late, all the way." Hong Zewei said, "I will send you here."

"You take care too." Dr. Amos smiled.

As the broadcast sounded, the people waiting in the waiting room went to the escalators on board, and walked into their respective compartments according to their respective numbers. Soon more than two hundred people completely entered the elevator elevator shaped like a train in the space elevator track.

Under the sight of a string of lighted lights, the elevator car slowly accelerated and headed for a dimly lit sky.

Looking at the desert that is drifting away and the Martian colony that has shrunk into a point, Dr. Amos only feels filled with excitement.

Soon he will return to Earth, with more than two hundred researchers who have accepted the legacy of the military.

He believes that the knowledge stored in his brain is destined to bring earth-shaking changes to the world.

......

Sunday, early morning.

In the study room of the villa, Jiang Chen met with the famous Harvard professor Frank Dobbin.

The old man who is over 60 years old seems to be much younger than his actual age. Perhaps this is related to his age, running around the world, doing research and opening academic reports everywhere. Unlike most scholars in the same field, the research method he advocates is not to read a large number of relevant literatures, to extend the description of the predecessors' conclusions, but to advocate in person to investigate the research topics by scientific means.

It is for this reason that in the field of socioeconomics, Frank Dobin’s views are always groundbreaking and have a large number of factual arguments. And this is why his work has been regarded as a classic in the academic world.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

After meeting, Frank Dobin took the initiative to reach out his right hand.

After holding the right hand that stretched out, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

"Hello there."

"You are a global person now, it is my pleasure to be able to interview you." Frank Dobin said with a loose hand, "Since last year, I have been studying the trade of stars from hundreds of millions of people around the world. The reason why the company stands out."

“Is there anything interesting to study?” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Unfortunately," Frank Dobin shook his head and said in a relaxed tone. "This is why I came to visit you today. Thank you again, you can take time out of your busy schedule."

"You're welcome, I can't help you too much academic stuff," Jiang said with a smile. "On the rise of the ring trade, I can only say a little. We are just standing on the shoulders of giants. on."

"The shoulders of the giants? Which company in the world is strong enough to provide you with shoulders?" Frank Dobin said with a smile.

“The 170 large and medium-sized research institutes covering the New Kyushu Island and the 4,371 research workers in all fields are the giants we rely on,” Jiang Chen said with a smile. “The giant does not There must be only one, it can be composed of many."

The real giant is a huge technological heritage from another world, but it is obviously not something that can be said everywhere.

“So, do you attribute the achievements of the Star Ring trade to the progress made in the natural sciences and applied sciences?” asked Frank Dobin.

Slightly thought for a moment, Jiang Chen nodded.

"Is such that."

“What do you think about the future of the new country?” Frank Dobin smiled and said, taking out a tailored newspaper from the carry-on bag, “Wall Street Journal 20201221, this article read ?"

"Of course I have seen it," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "I can only say that it is good, even though this kind of thing will not happen."

“Oh?” Frank Dobin asked earnestly. “What prompted you to be so confident, that day will never come?”

"Because there is plenty of room in the future, I am convinced of this," Jiang Chen smiled. "We tend to expand outwards, such as asteroid mining, outer space, than squeezing surplus value from poor people. Colonization. In the future, there will be enough land to digest the surplus population, and there will be enough jobs to digest the surplus labor. We only need to take advantage of the leading position in the industry to control the pace of expansion, similar to Ray Blake's in Fahrenheit. The dystopian world depicted in 451 is bound to be impossible to appear in the new country..."

In a rich and dynamic tone, Jiang Chen described to Frank Doobin his own vision of the future of the new country and the star trade. A similar speech he has done many times in the company and at the press conference, even if there is no manuscript, it is also hand-picked.

Frank Dobin stunned and listened at the side, even forgot to move the nib on the notebook.

Although there was a suspicion of running the question, Jiang Chen’s answer was from another angle, and he answered all the confusion in his heart after reading the report.

Jiang Chen, who may have said these things, did not realize it himself, but from the perspective of the researchers, Frank Dobin had a familiar “new country model” for the star trade and every social science scholar. A deeper understanding.

Although the question of preparation was half asked, he now feels worthwhile.

Years later, Frank Dobin wrote in his memoirs.

"I have visited many great people in my life, from the first black president of the United States to the warlords of the African countries. If you want to say which one is the most impressive, I am undoubtedly the chairman of the Stars and Rings trade. The world's richest man, Jiang Chen. About him everything, and my evaluation of him, I have spent a full ten pages in the "New Age Society and Economics Introduction of the New Country" to tell more, here is no more To narrate, in order to avoid misunderstandings by future generations, my memoirs have also been sponsored by the Star Trade."

"...Since then, I have boldly predicted in my new book. This great man is destined to belong not only to the new country but also to the whole world."
