Below the elevator, in the waiting room.
"How's your recovery?" Hong Zewei asked casually as he stood at the entrance of the elevator.
"I've almost recovered." Dr. Amos smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "And compared to the disease, I prefer to call it 'instinctive recovery.' It can be eliminated after a certain amount of adaptive training. It's not a particularly serious disease."
"Instinctive recovery."
"Yes, when Gaia gave us memories, it accidentally gave us its own habits," Dr. Amos continued. Dr. Amos went on to say, "This Flower of Memory not only interferes with our cerebral cortex and hippocampus, but also has a radiation effect on other areas of the brain. It's understandable that such a result would occur. After all, they can't predict the structure of the brain of the species that will inherit their legacy in the future. Moreover, when leading the researchers to sort out the information in the memory, I noticed a special phenomenon. "
"What phenomenon?" Hong Zewei was stunned.
"In all the information from billions of years ago, there is no detailed record of the 'Flower of Memory'. Instead, a lot of ink is wasted on some minor things. I boldly speculate that maybe this kind of thing was not created by them, so the impact is not something they can determine. "
"The Flower of Memory was not created by them?" Hong Zewei laughed. "Who else could it be? Is it another higher civilization? "
"Maybe that's the case." Amos smiled. "Of course, everything is just my speculation. After all, everything we see is always just the tip of the iceberg relative to the entire universe. "
Just as the two were chatting, the announcement for boarding the elevator sounded in the waiting room.
"It's getting late. Have a safe trip," Hong Zewei said. "I'll take you here."
"You take care too." Dr. Amos smiled.
As the announcement sounded, the people waiting in the waiting room walked to the escalator and walked into their respective carriages according to their respective numbers. Soon, more than two hundred people completely entered the elevator cabin shaped like a train in the space elevator track.
Under the gaze of a series of signal lights that lit up one after another, the elevator slowly sped up and headed toward the egg-white, dusky sky.
Dr. Amos looked at the desert that was gradually disappearing, and the Mars colony that had shrunk into a dot. Dr. Amos felt his heart was full of excitement.
Very soon, he would return to Earth with more than two hundred researchers who had accepted the heritage of the Gai Yan civilization.
He believed that the knowledge stored in his brain was destined to bring earth-shattering changes to this world.
…
Zhou Tian, early morning.
In the study room of the mansion, Jiang Chen met with the Harvard University professor – Frank Dobbin.
This old man, who was in his sixties, looked much younger than his actual age. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he was still traveling around the world doing research and holding academic reports at his age. Unlike most scholars in the same field, the research method that he advocated was not to read a large number of relevant documents and make extended descriptions based on the conclusions of predecessors. Instead, he advocated personally going to the scene and using scientific methods to investigate the research topic.
Because of this, in the field of social economics, Frank Dobbin's views were always groundbreaking and supported by a lot of facts. This was also the reason why his works were regarded as classics by the academic community.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
After they met, Frank Dobbin extended his right hand.
After shaking the extended right hand, Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
"Hello."
"You are now a global figure. It is my honor to interview you." Frank Dobbin let go of his right hand and said with a smile, "Since last year, I have been studying why Celestial Trade can stand out from hundreds of millions of companies in the world."
"Did you find anything interesting?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Unfortunately, no." Frank Dobbin shook his head and said in a relaxed tone, "This is why I came to visit you today. Thank you again for taking the time out of your busy schedule. "
"You're welcome. I may not be able to help you much academically," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "There is only one thing I can say about the rise of Celestial Trade. We are just standing on the shoulders of giants."
"The shoulders of giants? Is there any company in the world strong enough to provide you with a shoulder? "Frank Dobbin said with a smile.
"170 large and medium -sized research institutes covering the nine islands of Xin and 4,371 scientific researchers in various fields are the giants we rely on," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "There is not necessarily only one giant, it can be composed of many."
A real giant was a huge technological heritage from another world, but this kind of thing obviously couldn't be talked about everywhere.
"So, you attribute the achievements of Celestial Trade to the progress of natural science and applied science?" Frank Dobbin asked.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen nodded.
"Yes."
"What do you think about the future of Xin?" Frank Dobbin smiled and took out a newspaper from his carry-on bag. "Wall Street Journal 20201221 edition. Have you read this article?"
"Of course I have," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "I can only say that it is well written, although this kind of thing will never happen."
"Oh?" Frank Dobbin asked seriously, "What makes you so confident that that day will never come?"
"Because the future has a broad enough space, I have no doubt about this," Jiang Chen smiled. "Rather than squeezing the remaining value from poor people, we are more inclined to expand outward, such as asteroid mining and outer space colonization. In the future, there will be enough land to absorb the excess population and enough jobs to absorb the excess labor force. We only need to use our leading position in the industry to control the pace of expansion. The dystopian world similar to Ray Bradshaw's "Fahrenheit 451" will inevitably not appear in Xin … "
Jiang Chen used a provocative tone to vividly describe to Frank Dobbin the future of Xin and Celestial Trade in his eyes. He had given similar speeches many times in the company and at press conferences. Even if he didn't have a script, he could do it easily.
Frank Dobbin listened with his mouth agape. He even forgot to move the tip of his pen on his notebook.
Although he was suspected of being off-topic, Jiang Chen's answer answered all the questions he had after reading the report from another perspective.
Perhaps Jiang Chen, who said these words, didn't realize it himself, but from the perspective of a researcher, Frank Dobbin had a deeper understanding of Celestial Trade and the "Xin model" that every social science scholar was familiar with.
Although he only asked half of the questions he prepared, he already felt the trip was worthwhile.
Many years later, Frank Dobbin wrote this in his memoirs.
"I have visited many great people in my life, from the first black president of the UA to the warlords of African dictatorships. If I have to say who impressed me the most, it is undoubtedly the president of Celestial Trade, the richest man in the world, Jiang Chen. Everything about him, as well as my evaluation of him, I have spent a full ten pages in 'Introduction to Society and Economy in the New Era – Xin'. I will not repeat it here to avoid future misunderstandings. My memoirs were also sponsored by Celestial Trade. "
"… Since then, I have made bold predictions in my new book. This great man is destined to not only belong to Xin, but also to the entire world. "
