The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 283: , The Pentagon Summons

   It’s full of calculations. It took exactly one month from the local premiere of "Alien II" to when I received the call again.

Although it is already mid-February, and there are only a dozen days left before the second half of the semester of Eton College, Alice certainly has priority over this meeting compared to the gains of a few classes. Even if it may bring itself countless jobs.

  United States, Washington, DC, Alice came to the Pentagon again in this freezing season.

   "Miss Wang, please here."

   "Thank you, Mr. Rice."

   is still the bustling office corridor, Alice walks with the driver while looking around without a trace.

Obviously, the personnel who can work in the Pentagon are not simple figures. Although she is a fifteen-year-old girl, she is not wearing a formal lady's suit but a denim gown, but the surrounding personnel can do not squint, and do not care for themselves. Curious about the arrival.

   A moment later, she was led to a door by Rice.

   "Miss Wang, the Minister of Defense is in the office, please come in."

   Alice paused when she was about to move forward.

   Then, she nodded to the serious middle-aged man, opened the door and walked in.

At a conference table in the room, the first Minister of Defense, Caspar Weinberg wearing round glasses saw Alice and nodded and smiled at her: "Hello, Alice, meet again, please sit down. , Please sit down."

While    was seated, Alice looked at the escorts, good guys, and senior people in the room. Looking around, there is one four-star admiral in army uniform, three more admirals in air force uniform, and the navy also presents one.

   Of course, while she looked at these people, the generals who were full of seats were naturally looking at the girl herself.

   A fifteen-year-old Asian girl, although she looks a little more beautiful, she is a little taller, and her chest is a little fuller, but on the surface, that's it. But it is obvious that, let alone the cheerleader or the prom queen on campus, even the Miss World Beauty Pageant, if that's all, how can there be a reason to be invited here?

   "What a grand scene, Minister Weinberg."

   Alice sat down at the end of the conference table, facing Weinberg: "Is my movie so inspiring? It has shocked so many big men in the military?"

   There was a brisk laughter from the crowd, and an Air Force general took the lead: "It's more than a movie, Alice, I saw myself today. I'm a loyal reader of Jurassic Park."

   "Wow, really? Then I'm so honored."

  So, Alice had a few words with the executives in the room. After a while, a general turned to say:

   "Alice, you started working as a technical consultant for Lockheed in May last year, right?"

   Seeing that the topic has shifted to military industry, Alice smiled unsurprisingly: "It's like this, but it's just a job for the time being. Oren Lockheed hasn't asked me to take charge of any specific affairs."

This answer, I believe people here must have known it a long time ago, so as a quote, the general continued: "So, the reason why you can conceive the novel things in the movie "Alien II" is that Is it because you joined Lockheed, or is it just because you have this ability that you are appreciated by Oren Lockheed?"

   "Lockheed recruited me because I was optimistic about my excellent programming ability, and it has nothing to do with these ideas."

Alice replied: "After all, the navigation control system of the aircraft, as well as the various programming in the satellite control, are no less complicated than writing a new operating system. With someone like me as a helper, it will definitely be reduced when necessary. A lot of work."

   The answer is reasonable and well-founded. Of course, companies like the world's top arms dealer will not be stunned by the idea of ​​a new weapon like a girl's science fiction, so it is even more nonsense to give a consultant title. As for these military leaders, they must also understand this truth, so Alice knows that the topic will continue.

   Minister Weinberg spoke in person: "Actually, Alice, early

Before this meeting, I investigated you very carefully, you know? "

   Nonsense, of course there will be investigations.

   Alice smiled and said, "My pleasure."

Weinberg nodded and continued: "From "Jurassic Park", we can see your ability to control cutting-edge technology, clone dinosaurs, then form a zoo, and then cause a thrilling science fiction novel because of loss of control. The main storyline begins. Creativity is something like that, but it can never be underestimated, because in many cases, the development of mankind depends on the flash of geniuses."

   said, he picked up the file on the desktop.

   "Close to the subject, let us see what you imagine in that "Alien"."

   "It's "Alien II"."

   "Hmm, Alien II."

   Weinberg opened the document and said: "First of all, it is the kind you conceived, called power armor, right? Although it seems to be a bit rough in workmanship. Is this an idea from "Starship Paratroopers"?"

   "Starship Paratrooper", this is the masterpiece of American science fiction master Robert Heinlein. It was published as early as 1959 and won the World Science Fiction Award "Hugo Award" in 1960. In this novel, the author first proposed a concept that was passed down in many sci-fi works, including games,-power armor.

Perhaps from a fundamental point of view, Marvel’s Iron Man was the ancestor of the power armor, but it is undeniable that Heinlein’s "Starship Paratrooper" was the one that really put forward this concept, and the equipment was standardized. It is installed on every soldier's body.

Of course, as for the film "Starship Fleet" adapted from it, considering the lack of cost, the producer can only let the soldiers wear ordinary military uniforms, but they still hold ordinary assault rifles to play with the Zerg. Charged.

   ""Starship Paratrooper" is influential, but it uses biochemical flow, while mine is mechanical flow."

A concluding line was uttered with one mouth. The four-star general of the Army raised his eyebrows and laughed and said, "Well said, haha, what a biochemical flow and a mechanical flow. I said guys, who of you pays? Remember Heinlein’s description of the power armor? What did he say?"

  The admiral of the navy smiled and said, "Please, don't we have any time. But I think, Alice, you must have some opinions?"

   "The power armor is divided into three categories."

   I want to say that these sets of remarks weren't everyone's collusion beforehand. Alice didn't believe it when she was killed. Since they led the conversation to lean on the power armor, she understood what the big guys were thinking.

"One is the power type, the other is the speed type, and the other is the command type. In fact, it is not appropriate to say that Heinlein is a biochemical flow. Its armor power mainly comes from mechanical control. For example, the strong force is due to the active release of the hand sensor. Vector; jumping high is also because the hydraulic device of the leg is loaded with enough'bouncing fluid'. The command type is only equipped with a more advanced communication system, and there is more bounce fluid."

I just defined the other party’s "product" one second, and rejected his own judgment in the next second. The admiral enthusiastically asked: "Then what do you think the real biochemical flow should look like? ?"

   "Nano armor."

Once again, easily throwing out a vocabulary enough to make many people stunned for a long time, Alice continued to pursue her unsurprisingly endless style, and said directly: "The size of nanomaterials can ensure that clothing can achieve maximum defense with the lightest weight. For example, carbon fiber...In fact, regardless of whether metal is hard enough, it’s just because it is directly composed of atoms. But if we master nanotechnology, we can easily use common elements to make materials that are hard enough."

   I almost said carbon fiber and graphene, which made Alice wipe her sweat subconsciously. God knows, that technology will not be realized until a long time later, and she is not involved in heavy industry now, but the industrial field can only start after saving enough capital.

   What if you miss it, and the government subsidizes some of the existing heavy industry companies for research and development, wouldn't it be her share?

   However, this set of words seems to be off topic, Weinberg smiled bitterly: "I said Alice, the idea is really good, but you seem to be talking about... the mechanical flow

Craftsmanship? "

"Nanotechnology is just a foundation~www.readwn.com~ Alice said: "It represents the basic size of our industrial products, the so-called biochemical flow, whether it is to enhance the human body, or to repair itself after armor damage. They are all nano-level micro-levels, right? Let’s not talk about how to specifically enhance human body quality or armor self-repair. If the basic craftsmanship fails, these must be nonsense. "

   So, please don’t speak so much information, okay?

  The armor that will repair itself after being damaged, clearly talking about the problem of basic craftsmanship, but lightly throwing out a new definition!

   There are not three sentences in all! ?

Seeing the high-ranking officials quickly exchanging their eyes, Alice couldn’t help it: “Then I say, everyone, you are coming to me this time, isn’t it just to draw inspiration from science fiction writers? We are American. There are too many science fiction novels, why can't it be my turn?"

This is indeed the truth, so Weinberg exchanged glances with the audience and smiled at Alice: “Of course it’s different. Alice, those science fiction writers are just writers, but even though you are only fifteen years old, It is already an indispensable part of several large technology companies."

"You made the software that made the computer special effects for "Alien II", right. Such a sci-fi concept made by an all-rounder, and many technologies have not been too far away from reality. I think if you can make them yourself and realize them. It shouldn't be too difficult, right?" (To be continued.)
