Scholar's Advanced Technological System-Chapter 1622: Noahs Ark

Chapter 1622: Noah’s Ark

Star Sky Hotel.

Inside the presidential suite.

A man with a large nose and wearing a suit and leather shoes stood on the desk in the study room while looking at Academician Yang Chongping who was sitting in a chair. He slightly raised the wine glass in his hand to him and said with a smile on his face, “Please allow me to toast you. Your design is so perfect that I don’t know how to thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me.” Academician Yang Chongping continued while looking at the man who was standing on the desk blankly, “If you have to thank me, do it by turning my blueprint into reality.”

“Please don’t worry about this! We have contacted the shipyard and the suppliers who can build the parts in your design. I believe it will not be long before you hear good news from me.” Mr. Gladstone smiled slightly and continued in a complimenting tone, “I believe that when this epic-class colonial ship is completed, your name will be recorded in history as the greatest aerospace engineer of this century!”

“Just from a starship? There are too many people worthy of being recorded in history.” Academician Yang Chongping squinted his eyes slightly and continued, “Compared to the ladder connecting heaven and earth, the starship is not worth mentioning.”

“Not necessarily. Don’t belittle yourself.” Gladstone said with a smile, “When the second sun rises above our civilization, when our colonization cabin lands on a planet far away from Earth and far from the solar system, as the designer of this starship, who else can surpass you in history? Undoubtedly, you will become the pioneer of civilization’s flame. Your greatness will not be inferior to anyone, not even Academician Lu.”

Even though I know he’s kissing my a*s, it still feels flattering.

Yang Chongping’s eyebrows eased a little. He even felt a little satisfied.

However, as the leader of a school of thought, he did not express this joy on his face. Instead, he said in a cool manner, “I hope so.

“Before I go to bed, I have to sort out the meeting notes. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Sure.” Gladstone nodded slightly and said cheerfully, “Your health is the capital of scientific research. Remember to rest early and don’t stay up too late…

“Also, I wish you a good life.”

The holographic light beam projected on the desk gradually disappeared, and the figure standing in the holographic light beam also disappeared along with it.

The holographic projection system was completely indistinguishable from a real person.

After the manager of the Alpha Centauri Colonial Exploration Foundation left, Academician Yang Chongping reached out his index finger and tapped on the desk. He retrieved the notes of the daytime meeting.

However, his eyebrows suddenly frowned.

He wanted to see Academician Lu’s proposal.

However, to his surprise…

He didn’t make a proposal?

For some reason, Academician Lu, who was called the greatest scholar alive, just watched the meeting from the beginning to the end without saying a word…

…

“Lu Zhou seems to be on Mars.”

Gladstone placed the wine glass in his hand on the coffee table. He turned off the holographic call system and turned his gaze to Lawrence, who was standing next to him.

“He’s at the Star Sky Hotel, I think they are attending a seminar on Europa’s development plan.”

Gladstone was expecting to see a look of dread on Lawrence’s face. After all, even if they were now allies, that guy was really annoying.

However, to his surprise, Lawrence just nodded. There was no change in the expression on his face. As if they were just having a casual conversation, he said in an ordinary tone, “I’ve heard.”

“That’s it?”

“What else?”

“I mean… The guy who made you turn 180 degrees is standing under your nose now, don’t you plan to do something?”

“If he doesn’t interfere with my plan, why should I take the initiative to provoke him and let my plan go out of line?” Lawrence glanced at Mr. Gladstone and said softly, “Haven’t you guys find out the real reason for your failure?”

Who else can it be?

Isn’t it because of you?

Gladstone’s eyebrows twitched. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his face, but in the end, the dissatisfaction was suppressed. He took a deep breath and said, “I always think this thing is a bit weird. Do you think he has noticed something?”

Lawrence thought for a while before speaking, “This possibility does exist, you can pay attention to his movements, but it is best not to actively provoke him. Remember, our task is to complete Noah’s Ark bound for the new world. Don’t make any trouble if you don’t have to.”

“Of course, I will be careful.” Gladstone nodded. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, “Actually, there is one thing that I haven’t quite understood.”

Lawrence: “Which is what?”

Gladstone: “The warp drive is currently only installed on the Qinling. How do you plan to install that thing on our… colonial ship?”

“Oh, this? It’s not difficult…” Lawrence smiled faintly as he continued, “Mars is the stomach of human civilization. All the ores are smelted into alloys there, then cast into the energy-swallowing machines. Whether it is the East Asia Heavy Industries, the North American Alliance’s Space-X, or Boeing, they all have their production lines here. We are now standing in the stomach of human civilization. Do you still worry about not getting a warp drive?”

“You mean… To steal the blueprints directly from the hands of East Asia Heavy Industries?” Gladstone stared at him, as if he were looking at a monster. He said with a weird expression, “The failure on Ceres hasn’t taught you your lesson yet? It is impossible to succeed in a head-on confrontation.”

“Head-on confrontation? I’ve never thought about it that way.” Lawrence continued in a slow manner, “Although I am an AI, it does not mean that I will not learn from failure. This time, I intend to use a civilized way to solve this problem.”

Gladstone shrugged.

“The Pan-Asian Cooperation will not tolerate the leakage of this level of secrets into the hands of an unknown force. Once they discover that the blueprints have been leaked, we will never have the opportunity to install the warp drive on Noah’s Ark. A war will be imminent!”

“There may be a war, but it is definitely not us who will be dragged into the whirlpool. You will understand why. This is also an exchange of interests.” Lawrence smiled faintly and continued, “Now, there is only one thing you need to do, that is to get as many people as possible to participate in the plan of Noah’s Ark.”

Staring at the holographic image in front of him, Gladstone looked uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn’t help but say, “I hope your crazy plan will not bring us all into the ground.”

“Crazy or not, do you have any other choice?”

Gladstone couldn’t say a word.

Lawrence smiled faintly, and with his hands behind his back, he disappeared silently.
