MTL - Scholar’s Advanced Technological System-Chapter 1623 Old-fashioned "scam"?
These days, Lu Zhou basically receives the mail from Vera every day, and sometimes it is several times a day.
Obviously he just left the house for a while, and the mails sent every three weeks made him feel like he had been far away.
Okay, that's right, after all, Mars is indeed quite far away from Earth.
Especially now that the two celestial bodies have traveled to relatively distant positions, with a straight line distance of nearly 300 to 400 million, even light has to walk for 20 minutes.
But maybe it was because Lu Zhou was not on a civil aviation flight, but on the Qinling of the First Fleet. He did not spend much time on the road, so that he did not feel too much about this distance. .
If there is anything that makes him feel a little business trip, I am afraid there is only the customs of Mars.
By the way, the local cuisine of Tiangong City is a bit confusing.
Perhaps it is because of the precious freshwater resources. Most of the food here is very dry, and it will be very light. I always feel less satisfied when I eat it.
In addition, there is that sturdy folk customs and erratic enthusiasm and indifference ...
On this point, Lu Zhou can be said to have a very profound experience.
"Isn't that seminar a result yet?"
"No," Lu Zhou shook his head, fiddling with the holographic model in his hand. "I didn't realize until after I arrived that the situation on the Mars side was more complicated than I expected."
Probably guessing the complexity of Lu Zhou's finger, Wang Peng's face couldn't help but show some strange expression.
"Even you feel complicated?"
"Yes," nodded, Lu Zhou casually said, "There is a severe separation between Mars academia and geoscience. In short, they have formed a unique ecology, it is difficult to allow outsiders to intervene. . "
Wang Peng: "Did you run in vain?"
Lu Zhou: "That's not the case. Mayor Xue's invitation is just one of the reasons I came to Mars. Besides that, I have more important things to do."
Raising his eyebrows curiously, Wang Peng asked casually.
"What is it? Of course, I'm just curious, if not convenient."
Lu Zhou, staring at the model in his hand, thought about it and gave an ambiguous answer.
"It's not inconvenient, it's mainly related to some things like the speed engine and Z particles.
Speaking of awakening from sleep, it has been more than a year now.
I have been buried under the ground for more than a year, and I do n’t know if General Reinhardt will feel bored.
The afternoon meeting still ended in a quarrel.
Lu Zhou basically didn't listen very much. Except for the auxiliary office system designed by Xiao Ai to help him record the main points of the meeting, he was basically doing his own thing.
After the meeting, he had planned to go to the restaurant for a meal and then returned to his room to rest.
However, very coincidentally, he met the professor Wu Qinglai again in the restaurant.
"Why didn't you come to the meeting just now?"
"The opinions of our earth experts are really irrelevant. I thought you found it," Professor Wu Qinglai suddenly made a look of helplessness and moved closer to the side of the boat, mysteriously lowered his voice and said, "Don't say these ... Speaking of it, have you heard of Noah's Ark? "
Noah's Ark?
Intuition tells Lu Zhou that this guy should not be planning to discuss mythology with himself, so he casts an inquiry to him.
"what is that?"
"You don't know," Wu Qinglai said with a smile on his face, and continued with an excited tone, "The legendary world's largest colonial ship under construction! It is also the colony of the outer gate of the South Gate II Extraterrestrial Colony Exploration Foundation for the outer galaxy. The first colonial ship to be built! The goal is South Gate Two Proximity Star b! The reason why I did n’t come to the meeting just now was to use the hotel ’s network to grab tickets in the room! "
Grab ... Grab a ticket?
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou's face could not help showing a weird expression.
"What ticket?"
"Is it still necessary to ask? Of course it is the ticket!"
"... Are you interested in alien colonies?"
"How is it possible? However, although I did not intend to **** my alien planet, I am still very interested in credit points!" The professor Wu continued with a smile on his face, "In short, The Nanmen II Foundation issued 100,000 boat tickets with the help of the Tiangong City Bank, and raised funds through the sale of boat tickets for the construction of the colonial ship! "
Lu Zhou: "So?"
"The South Gate II Foundation promised that, in addition to being able to obtain the qualification to board the ship, you will also obtain ownership of different areas of land in the colony. You should have discovered that this kind of ship ticket has financial attributes. Yes, and in fact, it ’s been less than an hour, and their prices have doubled. I bought 10 cards, a total of 300,000 credits, and when they rose to about one million, I They will get rid of them! "
A little worried that this guy was cheated by the hoax killing scheme, Lu Zhou couldn't help but kindly remind him.
"It sounds like a Ponzi scheme ... A similar thing happened a century ago."
However, this kindly reminder obviously did not play any role.
I saw Professor Wu Qinglai's excited expression on his face did not change, but instead argued with Lu Zhoutou.
"You don't understand this. The Ponzi scheme is a paper game that dismantles the east wall to make up the west wall, without real objects as collateral, but this is not the same! According to research on the Internet, more than 1 billion people think that the outer planet is a colony. It ’s a cool thing, and I ’m thinking about looking for development opportunities in the new world. ”
Lu Zhou: "And no matter what kind of questionnaire response is not necessarily the real idea in people's minds ... How are they going to Nanmen 2? At least as far as I know, there is no private enterprise with which East Asia Heavy Industries has reached speed. Technology licensing, and I am afraid it will not in the short term. "
"Anyway, now the capital market eats this set," Professor Wu shrugged and continued with a confirmed tone. "If you still think I'm deceived, I recommend you to take a look at Griffin 'S painting exhibition ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Looking at Professor Wu, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned.
"Griffin Art Exhibition?"
Why is it clearly talking about the colonization of alien galaxies, this guy's thinking suddenly jumped into the exhibition again.
Just when he was about to ask what was the relationship between the two, Professor Wu Qinglai seemed to see through his confusion and took the initiative to speak.
"Yes, John Griffin! The New Londoner of the North Sea Alliance, the most famous Impressionist painter on Mars, his attainments in painting are incomparable. As one of the supporters of the Alien Colony Project, He has been advocating to go to the New World to find new art, so he recently held a touring painting exhibition on the first-line colonies on Mars, and auctioned his paintings as a donation to the colonial ship to Nanmen II. "
Lu Zhou: "... Are you trying to say that there are a lot of celebrities in this project platform? Sorry, I am not interested in his fundraising."
"But I believe that you will be interested in his artwork," Professor Wu Qinglai said with a firm tone, looking at the landing boat confidently. "According to the data provided by the International Astronomical Observation Center, he combined the techniques of painting with Impressionism. Modern technology has completed an epoch-making work of art. This work will be exhibited in the Central Museum of Tiangong City. Perhaps he will change your stereotypes about the outer space colonization plan. "
"I have no prejudice in the outer space colonization program itself, even ... forget it," Lu Zhou said with a helpless expression after receiving the ticket, "Thank you for the ticket, if I have time, I will go A trip. "
Upon hearing this sentence, Professor Wu Qinglai's face immediately showed a joyful expression, just like hearing some great news, holding the right hand of Lu Zhou excitedly.
"Also please go there! Believe me, that exhibition will not let you down!"
