Instead of standing at the door, Calvin took the two to the B3 floor of the Special Projects Research Institute and came to the office at the end of the corridor.
It was a huge scientific research center and also a semi-closed institution. In addition to scientific research facilities, all kinds of living and entertainment facilities were available.
Almost all the researchers involved in S-level scientific research projects had come here to report. More than two hundred researchers who returned from the Mars colony were temporarily settled here. Except for special researchers like Amos who had S-level authority, most people would spend several years here before they could return to normal society.
Of course, Celestial Trade was also quite generous with the compensation for these devotees.
Not only would the direct bonus for each person exceed 10 million Xin New Dollars, but everyone would also be allowed to inject DNA telomere lengthening agents for 10 years as compensation for their contributions. These were all written in the confidentiality agreement and were completely voluntary.
"… I know you are more concerned about how many weapons we can dig out from the grave of the Gaia civilization, but what I'm going to say next may disappoint you. In terms of aerospace technology and military technology, the Gaia civilization has no achievements. They had completed their unification a long time ago in a way unique to their species, maintaining peace and stability for thousands of years. And according to my research … and in the later stages of the Gaia civilization, they are likely to have achieved the so-called Utopia, "Dr. Amos said.
Not all civilizations were keen on researching tools to slaughter their own kind.
It was ignorant and arrogant to use the standards of human civilization to analogize extraterrestrial civilizations and think that the "civilization theory" based on human history, culture, and behavior habits was universal.
Although Jiang Chen had vaguely thought of this problem a long time ago, after hearing Dr. Amos's words, he still felt a little disappointed. However, before he could be disappointed for two seconds, Amos's next sentence made him see the light again.
"But having said that, based on the theoretical knowledge left by the Gaia civilization, it is not impossible to develop weapons that surpass the era and can fight against the colonial ship." After a pause, Dr. Amos continued, "You know, science and technology are two different things. The former determines the development space of the latter, and we mainly inherit the former."
"Can you say everything in one go?" Jiang Chen mocked.
Amos smiled and did not answer. Instead, he continued, "In addition, I found that the Gaia civilization's research on the Klein particle is quite in-depth. The understanding between the three-dimensional world and the four-dimensional world has completely subverted my understanding of this particle that only exists in the concept."
"Oh?"
Jiang Chen looked at Amos in surprise. The latter nodded and continued.
"In their research on Klein particles, I found a very interesting phenomenon. About the short-lived form of Klein particles when they fall from the fourth dimension to the third dimension, and the form of energy conversion across the three-dimensional coordinate system itself. "
Kelvin, who was standing on the side, frowned as he listened to the conversation.
"What do you mean? Can you explain it more clearly? "
This was how painful it was to have a conversation with someone whose profession did not match.
After all, Calvin was in the aerospace industry. He didn't understand a single word that Amos said.
However, Dr. Amos didn't make it clearer. He just looked at the clock on the wall and spoke.
"It has to do with our time."
…
On January 29th, Trump was officially inaugurated.
Standing on the podium of the swearing-in ceremony, Trump, who was in a suit, gave an impassioned speech in front of his supporters and the cameras of the media.
"Thank you, fellow UA citizens, thank you, thank you."
"On this great day today, we have handed over power from Capital to the hands of the people, that is, your hands."
"For a long time, the fruits of our labor have been seized by a small group of people, but the cost has to be borne by all UA citizens. Capital is thriving, Wall Street is making a lot of money, but our people have not shared the wealth. They use the interests of some people to buy the votes of other people, flaunt the so-called political correctness, and beautify their own ugliness. And this is why our welfare is getting higher and higher, but life is getting worse and worse, there are fewer and fewer jobs, the economy is deteriorating, and countless factories are closing … "
"It's time to change all this. Let those lazy refugees get out of our country, send those criminals who cross the border illegally to where they belong, and say no to those barbaric third-world hooligans."
"… Thank you again, thank you for choosing me, and I will lead this country back to strength. Thank you!"
After completing the transfer of power, Trump used a week to nominate the cabinet members of the new government and form his own leadership team. Including former Secretary of State Kerry, current Secretary of Defense Carter, and others, all ministerial officials ushered in a major change with the transfer of power.
Oil tycoon Rex Tillerson was appointed as the new Secretary of State. Retired Marine Corps four-star General James Mattis, a hawk among hawks, was appointed as the new Secretary of Defense. As the soul of the Trump campaign team, Steve Bannon also changed from a far-right media executive chairman to the Chief Strategist and Senior Advisor of the White House …
Judging from the composition of the cabinet members, except for a few positions reserved for supporters in the Republican Party, Trump repaired the tense relationship with Wall Street through the choice of Secretary of State, and on the other hand, he tried his best to bring the hawks in his mind into his governing team.
In the end, as promised, he made Xin the first stop of his diplomatic visit, and revealed to the media that the "Colombian issue", "the issue of the UA military stationed in Nippon", "the development of space resources", and the most contradictory "accession issue" would be discussed in the upcoming meeting.
While surprised by the efficiency of the new president, the outside world generally held a pessimistic attitude toward his ability to solve problems.
However, there were still many voices with a hint of expectation.
He still had to have a dream. What if it came true?
What if the Earth Defense Alliance returned to the United Nations framework?
What if …
There were no what-ifs at all.
Just three days before Trump's visit to Xin, Celestial Trade and the UA added 100,000 troops to North and South Colombia respectively, adding a bundle of dry firewood to the burning furnace of Colombia.
Before the meeting even began, it was already clouded by a shadow.
Moreover, it was more like a showdown than a negotiation.
