Tech Hammer

Chapter 524 The Night Before

Ning Wei didn't expect Smith to react like this. After all, rich people generally cherish their lives.

Smith is such a wealthy man. His father was once a small billionaire and died due to an accidental attack. Although the high inheritance tax in the United States cost the mathematician at least tens of millions of dollars, the remaining inheritance and the trust purchased by his father were enough for him to live a comfortable life even if he did not work.

How could such a person be so casually willing to devote his life to science?

However, before Ning Wei could make a decision, Smith continued to ask: "No, Ning, even if you have made a decision, I still can't figure out how the people here would agree to you going, no matter which direction you consider." Risking it? Even if you apply, it’s impossible to agree, or no one should be willing to go!”

At this point, Smith seemed to feel that his wording was not right. He paused and added: "Of course, I don't think that life must be divided into high and low, but any rational person will give the same opinion." Judgment, after all, your importance lies there.”

It was obvious that Smith had recovered from his excitement and his brain had begun to regain its ability to think.

"Shh..."

Ning Wei glared at the ignorant philosopher next to him, then turned around and glanced at Comrade Xiao Yuan who was following far behind, and then said angrily: "You know that everyone will not agree, but you still say that?" Loud noise? I have already made arrangements. After the Kuafu takes off tomorrow, in March we will arrange for all the people on board to disembark in batches in the air, and then conduct space navigation tests."

"Because the confidentiality level of this space test is very high, I have not drafted a candidate for this space navigation test, so the other people on the ship will be easily cleared by then. At that time, one person and one ship will directly enter the short space at the predetermined location. There is no other Kuafu on earth that can pursue me.”

Smith nodded understandingly.

He probably understood Ning Wei's plan, which was simple and effective.

Under normal circumstances, Ning Wei alone would definitely not be able to complete such a task, but with March's cooperation, it was different.

He could imagine that all the people on board the ship would definitely be under March's command. At that time, you can find any reason to evacuate. As long as there is a short information gap and these people get on the evacuation plane, the Kuafu will basically be unable to intercept them.

"Wait, where are the bodyguards who have been following you?" Smith asked in confusion.

"Oh, he can't get on the boat at all tomorrow. There will be another person following me, but I have already chosen the person, and he is the kind who is very obedient. Anyway, don't worry, I have made all the arrangements. Kuafu's The cost is about 120 billion, and I have already made arrangements. After the Kuafu successfully enters the short space, I will log into the public account of the basic laboratory and inform everyone of the reason for my departure. That's about it."

After hearing Ning Wei's words, Smith smiled: "Ning, it seems you have decided to take me with you. Isn't it?"

This inference is very reasonable. If I hadn't decided to take him on the spacecraft, it would have been impossible to tell him this secret directly.

Ning Wei turned his head, glanced at Smith beside him, and said calmly: "You think too much, I can also find a guard who doesn't understand English, lock you in a solitary room for a day and night, and keep you under constant guard You. Just release you after twenty-four hours. Believe me, there are many guards here who will carry out my orders to the letter, and there is no question about their loyalty."

"Ah..." This was something Smith never expected, but it was indeed a possibility. After all, this is Ning Wei's territory, and what he wants to do is probably a matter of one sentence.

"Okay, don't be like this. If you want to go, go ahead. But I suggest you do something with the money you saved before going. For example, sign an agreement to donate all the money to our basic physics experiments. Room, just treat it as your ticket to travel the universe." Ning Wei shrugged.

Since Smith didn't take his own life seriously, it didn't matter if it was natural.

Anyway, this guy doesn't have any authority on the ship, and there is no chance of causing trouble under March's surveillance.

In fact, without March, it would have been impossible for two people to pilot such a huge spacecraft for space exploration.

"Um...donate all the money to the Basic Physics Laboratory? I have no objection, but there is not enough time. I can't handle tens of millions of dollars in assets in China. Especially some of the bonds I purchased and some real estate investments The relevant documents are all locked in a safe at home, and it is impossible to process them remotely in China." Smith shrugged, looking confused.

People are going to the outer universe, and they really don't care about these external things. If he can't come back, or if he comes back decades later, he doesn't know who will benefit from his wealth in the end.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to sign an agreement, um... it's better to record a video to prove that you voluntarily use all your wealth to buy a round-trip ticket to see the scenery in the outer universe and related insurance. As long as our After the spaceship leaves, there will be dedicated people in the laboratory to deal with your wealth. Whether it is the house or the documents you put in the safe. I strongly believe that your country's contractual spirit will allow us to get the money. of."

Ning Wei said nonchalantly.

Smith was silent. It's not that he doesn't believe that the Basic Physics Laboratory can get his hands on his vast wealth, but he believes that even if he can get it, it has nothing to do with the so-called spirit of contract. After all, for those who have seen the world very clearly, they know very well that the contract they are least afraid of being torn up is not to sign a name with a pen or make a fingerprint with an ink pad. The main thing is to see whether the signing hand is strong enough when it is clenched into a fist.

"It seems that I can't waste the money for this boat ticket." Smith said with a wry smile.

"Haha, don't worry about these details. Of course, I will give you special equipment when signing the agreement and recording the video. Just operate it in March. Now we should go to dinner. I will be busy today. After dinner, we will I don’t have time to accompany you anymore." Ning Wei patted Smith on the shoulder and said.

"You win! Ning!"

Ning Wei is indeed very busy today.

In fact, Ning Wei's mood at this time was extremely complicated, far from being as relaxed as he showed in front of Smith.

There are still too many emotional ties.

Only when he suddenly faced this situation did Ning Wei slightly regret that he had not grown into a scientific research machine without emotions.

In this case, there is no need to be so entangled now.

Although he has spent enough time with his family in the past few months, picking up and dropping off Ning Zhe every day, running back and forth between kindergarten, elementary school and home, making an exception and drinking half a cup with his father every day, and also having sex with his mother. We chatted about nothing, comforted the whole family at night, and hugged classmate Jiang and chatted until late at night before falling asleep...

But when it was time to say goodbye, I still felt a lot of reluctance. According to March's deduction of the entire plan, the probability that he can successfully return to Earth is only about 50%. The only good thing is that this is not entirely a road of no return.

Because of the physical characteristics of short space, as long as the coordinates are calculated accurately, the journey will not take too long if nothing unexpected happens. Although it is a voyage across the universe, it sounds extremely far away, but if calculated using the time on earth, it may only take one or two days to reach the intended destination. Even if it takes one or two years to complete the scheduled task, it will only take one or two years to come back.

The point is, no one has ever done this kind of thing. The chance of coming back safely is only about half. And Ning Wei is not sure what the consequences of this exchange will be. For example, he didn't even know what vaccinations to take before traveling across the universe.

Human life is still too fragile in front of the universe.

But he couldn't tell his family about this in advance.

As Smith feared, if anyone knew about the plan in advance, he probably wouldn't be able to leave. He couldn't even think of getting on the Kuafu.

Fortunately, with March's cooperation, March has now gained everyone's trust.

Let everything be implemented according to plan.

As for Smith…

Well, it was an accident. I originally told this foreign friend this before I left, hoping that this guy could help explain it. The chance of him coming back after this trip was still very high.

Although he has arranged everything, after the Kuafu successfully enters the short space, March will announce his plan to some people who should know. He also left a special message for each family member at home. It was not considered his last words, but he emphasized that this was just a long trip and he would definitely come back in three to five years at most.

But artificial intelligence is certainly not as convincing as real people in controlling emotions. Not to mention that Smith is also a world-renowned scholar. The same words spoken from his mouth are obviously more powerful.

Who knew this guy was braver than him.

He wanted to take risks on this cross-universe voyage, and at least he had to go on a trip. However, this big boss just wanted to take a look outside, so he made such a major decision. I don’t know if he trusts himself too much or if this big guy has studied philosophy to the point where he has gone crazy and his life doesn’t matter anymore.

Sure enough, most of the true believers in science are lunatics, and the preciousness of life has never been a consideration for them. These people really don't mind practicing Hua Xia's saying, if they hear the truth in the morning, they will die in the evening.

After a brief consideration, he decided to just take Smith with him, since he didn't need to guarantee his safety anyway. There is no way, knowing his plan and not cooperating will be troublesome after all.

Of course, he could indeed lock this guy up for twenty-four hours as he said, but it was not very safe after all. At this time, any possibility that may lead to the failure of the plan is not allowed. I would rather be a hero, but I just can't get over it in my heart.

So tonight, he had to spend more time with his family, so as not to let them feel abnormal.

Yes, this time he did not bring Jiang and his two children to the production base in West China.

On the one hand, his two children have to go to school, and on the other hand, he doesn't like the feeling of life and death due to a long trip, which makes him feel tired.

Soon, Classmate Jiang's video was connected, revealing Classmate Jiang's face that had not changed much over the years.

Well, it is naturally impossible to say that there has been no change at all. But Ning Wei felt that the butcher's knife of time was somewhat merciful to Jiang, so he gave him a weight of more than ten kilograms.

"Hey, you're not busy."

"Well, I just finished my work. Let's wait for tomorrow to do the rest."

"Aren't you going to board the ship tomorrow?"

"Yes, there is a speech on the ship after boarding, and there is nothing else. By the way, what are you doing?"

"It's time to eat. Mom made Coke chicken wings that Ning Ning likes to eat today. Did the two little guys enjoy them?"

"Oh, let me see?"

Soon the scene shifted to a scene of a family eating at the dining table.

The father had already finished half of the glass of wine in front of him. He watched happily as the two little guys grabbed the chicken wings on the plate, while the mother was mediating between the two children. Ning Ke seemed to notice that classmate Jiang pointed the camera at her, and raised his chubby little hand to say hello.

Well, she is indeed his good daughter, she is sensible.

As for Ning Zhe, he was still looking at the chicken wings in his sister's bowl. Ning Wei felt that this little guy might not be very promising in the future...

"You have to tell mom that you should make less sweets like this in the future, otherwise the two little guys may have toothaches in the future." Ning Wei said.

"Bah, who told you that Coca-Cola chicken wings are a sweet? Have you forgotten that you used to secretly mix sugar with rice when you were a child? I don't see you complaining about toothache every day!"

Apparently, Ning Wei's voice was too loud, and it reached her mother's ears directly. Ning's mother, who was not easy to bully, immediately scolded her.

Ning's father was smiling naively on the side. The youngest Ning Zhe finally realized that it was his father who started the video and shouted excitedly: "Daddy, daddy, come and help me grab the coke chicken. My sister is a bad guy, grab it from me." Coke Chicken…”

Well, it's pretty good. I can find foreign aid.

But this was still not a smart choice. Sure enough, the next moment, the kid Ning Zhe patted Ning Zhe on the head and lectured: "This is Coke chicken wings, not Coke chicken, and this is what grandma made for me. You are still talking nonsense. Next I won’t let grandma do it again!”

Ning Zhe pursed his lips and was about to cry...

The two women were about to gather around and coax...

The atmosphere is still as warm as ever, which is pretty good.

"You can watch the kids eat first. Give my dad the phone and I'll have a little chat with him."

"OK."

Soon the phone was handed over to Ning’s father.

"What's going on?"

"Change somewhere else, it's too noisy."

Soon, Father Ning arrived on the second floor.

"Okay, let's talk!"

"That's it, Dad, I have something to ask you. If someone has done us a great favor, and now the benefactors are in trouble, but if we really want to help them, we may have to take some risks. Do you think the favor will be repaid? Report?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Not to mention just taking a little risk, even if you take a big risk, you have to repay the favor! How did I teach you since you were a child? If you don't repay kindness, you are a beast. If you don't repay hatred, That’s worse than a beast!”

"Yeah, I understand! Thank you, Dad."

"What's wrong? What happened to you?"

"It's nothing, I just thought that humans should not be treated like animals."

"Yes, I don't understand your business, but I believe in your ability."

"Haha, don't worry, dad, I know what's going on, that's it, I'm done!"
