There are 100,000 Terminators working day and night in Zhai City, so it is expanding all the time.

The southeast corner of Zhai City is closest to the hinterland of the desert. There are no plants or buildings in the surrounding desert, only yellow sand in the sky and the only road leading to the main urban area of ​​Zhai City.

This is the very edge of the 10,000 square kilometers area requested by Zhang Zhai, and it is completely in the hinterland of the desert.

To say that there is no grass growing here is an exaggeration. All you see is sand, and it is still sand.

If Zhai City wants to expand here according to the previous plan, it will take at least one to two years.

But in order to implement the space program, the Zhaicheng Space Center must be built. It is definitely not feasible to build the space center in the center of the city.

And unlike Zhaicheng's all-round openness, Zhaicheng Space Center naturally needs to be kept confidential and strictly confidential.

Therefore, based on the principle of confidentiality, this desert hinterland, which was originally extremely barren, welcomed a majestic building-Zhaicheng Space Center.

Zhaicheng Space Center is divided into two areas according to different responsibilities, the research area and the manufacturing area.

The research area conducts research and development, and the manufacturing area is responsible for manufacturing.

And according to different locations, the entire space center is divided into two areas, namely the underground area and the above-ground area.

The Terminators used local materials and transformed the yellow sand that was originally accumulated here into liquid sand, and finally turned it into this vast space center, which is half above ground and half underground.

Most of the time, the research areas are underground and the manufacturing areas are above ground.

Therefore, except for exceptions, it can be roughly divided into above-ground manufacturing areas and underground R&D areas.

At this moment, there was a car speeding along the only road leading to the space center from Zhai City.

Zhang Zhai was sitting in the back seat of the car, and sitting next to him was Academician Gan Xiaohua.

Zhang Zhai watched the car pass through the main urban area of ​​Zhai City, passing through the area where the Terminators were being formed, and came to this world where except for the driving road, the rest was a long stretch of yellow sand.

"Academician Gan, you will never blame me for letting you stay in the hinterland of the desert in such a difficult environment, right?"

"I am happy enough to be able to preside over such a great project before I die. How can I blame you? Besides, although the Zhaicheng Space Center is in the hinterland of the desert, there are no people around, and the air is not very good, but Zhaicheng

The space center is quite good, in my opinion, at least it is not worse than the national space center." Academician Gan Xiaohua said with a smile.

Zhang Zhai smiled and said, "I can't compare with the country. After all, I am not as wealthy as the country."

"You kid, do you mean you are poor?"

"Aren't you poor? You are so poor that I want to cry." Zhang Zhai said with a sad face.

"If you are poor, then in the whole world, except for those big countries, no one else would dare to say that they are rich."

"Academician Gan, look at what you said, as if I was lying. Although I made some money, it's just a drop in the bucket compared to what I spent, okay? Look behind you, Zhai, who is constantly expanding.

The city, as well as the Zhaicheng Space Center in front, and the artificial river project that is being implemented, are consuming huge amounts of money every minute and every second. If I make money slower, I will go bankrupt soon!" Zhang Zhai said helplessly.

After Zhang Zhai and Gan Xiaohua became familiar with each other, they talked much more casually.

Zhang Zhai felt that Gan Xiaohua was very easy-going and not as stubborn as ordinary old people. His ability to accept new things was just like that of a young man.

Gan Xiaohua also felt that although Zhang Zhai was very capable, he was not arrogant at all. Although he was surrounded by numerous auras, his personality was as casual as an ordinary college student.

After listening to Zhang Zhai's words, Gan Xiaohua turned around and looked at Zhai Cheng behind the car.

Gan Xiaohua looked at Zhang Zhai again and shook his head, "When I look at you, kid, I feel that my life has been in vain."

"Academician Gan, you feel like your life has been wasted, but what about ordinary people?" Zhang Zhai turned to look at the yellow sand outside the car window and said with a smile.

Gan Xiaohua looked at Zhang Zhai, sighed, and said, "Maybe this means that everyone has his own destiny, right?"

"Academician Gan, as a scientist, it's not very good to talk about such fatalism, right?" Zhang Zhai said jokingly.

"I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw you, I believed it! It turns out that there really are geniuses in this world, and they are so defiant." Gan Xiaohua said quietly.

"Ahem..." Zhang Zhai coughed awkwardly.

…

In the car, Zhang Zhai and Gan Xiaohua chatted casually.

Thirty minutes later, when the car was about to arrive at the Zhaicheng Space Center, Gan Xiaohua suddenly said seriously:

"Mr. Zhang, regarding my unkind invitation that day..."

"Academician Gan wants to know the principle of the anti-gravity box? Sorry, I won't tell anyone in the short term." Zhang Zhai shook his head decisively.

"When the anti-gravity box appeared before, it is said that more than a dozen scientists jumped off the building. If I took out the principle, I'm afraid they would die in droves." Zhang Zhai said half-jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Gan Xiaohua snorted, "Such pedantic people should die cleanly when they die, otherwise they will hinder the progress of science sooner or later. What is science! Science is the spirit of pursuing truth. If there are gods in the world, then

If there are gods, then it’s science, not something wrong that you don’t stubbornly insist on. That’s not science, that’s superstition!”

"However, Zhang Zhai, I won't embarrass you. What I mean is that at such an old age, I'm afraid I won't live for a few more years. In this way, when I am in the hospital bed and about to die, you can come to my bedside.

, tell me the principle of this. If you are still worried after telling me, just euthanize me, so you don't have to worry about me leaking the principle." Gan Xiaohua's eyes were full of expectation.

Zhang Zhai smiled helplessly and looked at Academician Gan Xiaohua's eyes with helplessness.

Academician Gan does not do it for anything, he simply desires scientific truth. This desire is extremely pure, even purer than Zhang Zhai.

Academician Gan's words reminded Zhang Zhai of yesterday. In the laboratory, the other two, Professor Hu Runze and Professor Yang, had said similar words to him alone.

Among them, Professor Yang was the most extreme. He directly said that after Zhang Zhai told him, he immediately committed suicide in front of Zhang Zhai, and said that he had left a suicide note and would not cause any trouble to Zhang Zhai.

That really made Zhang Zhai dumbfounded.

At this moment, Zhang Zhai looked at the familiar look in Academician Gan's eyes, and in the end he could only nod his head, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, Academician Gan, maybe before that time, I will use the anti-gravity

Publish the principle and get a Nobel Prize or something."

After receiving Zhang Zhai's answer, Gan Xiaohua smiled and said: "If you want to win the Nobel Prize, there is no need to announce the principle of anti-gravity. With your brain, you can solve several physics problems easily, right?"

"Speaking of which, I remember that you studied physics in college, but you made no contribution in physics." Gan Xiaohua said jokingly.

Zhang Zhai laughed it off and said lightly: "Maybe it's because I don't have any talent in physics, so I can just rely on a little luck to make inventions."

Regarding Zhang Zhai's words, Gan Xiaohua rolled his eyes.

Whoever believes this is a fool!
