Chapter 638: The Ark Project
Raymond nodded and said, "Everyone knows Noah's Ark? That's a story in the Bible. This is a big ship built according to God's instructions. The purpose is to allow this ship to carry all kinds of land creatures in the world to escape a major flood disaster..."
"President, we all know this story in the Bible. Do you mean that the earth is facing a great disaster now?" Shangguan Huang asked.
"By the way! Please look at the big screen!" Raymond stood up and took a look at a touch screen on the wall in the middle of the conference room.
After browsing the floor, a piece of top-secret information appeared on the screen.
Raymond's face was gloomy and said seriously: "This is a piece of information deciphered from the latest decryption of the US 51 region and the CIA, which is very detailed. In the past decade, American communication satellites have often been subjected to reconnaissance signals from aliens, and some mysterious UFO information have been found on the earth. The United States' strategic goals have been repeatedly devastatingly hit by unidentified armed forces. The sinking of the Nimitz nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that caused a sensation around the world some time ago was not caused by some failure, but was sunk by mysterious forces from outer space! All of this shows that aliens are invading the earth through various means, and humans are facing an unprecedented catastrophe!"
"Oh, President Raymond, you haven't watched too many science fiction movies?"
"Yes, we heard the alien problem and our ears were calloused, but we have never seen an alien for so many years!"
As soon as Raymond said, he was immediately questioned by several executive directors.
"I'm not an exaggeration!" Raymond said with a stern face: "According to reliable information, the United States and Russia began to secretly develop their own Noah's Ark ten years ago, mainly for protecting their own elites when the earth is facing unprecedented disasters! Please see, this is the Noah's Ark city spacecraft secretly built by the United States in Area 51!"
After saying that, he clicked casually, a large blue triangular spacecraft appeared on the screen. There was a piece of information next to it: "This city spacecraft is 365 meters high, with a total area of 2.79 million square meters, and can accommodate up to 100,000 people. It has hotels, shops, casinos and schools, and it has everything. It is even equipped with a garden, a specially made longitudinal elevator and a flat mobile elevator designed for pedestrians..."
"The outside of the spacecraft is made of high-strength steel and titanium alloy material, which can withstand the attacks of nuclear weapons. A large amount of nuclear fuel is stored in the spacecraft. It can be used by the spacecraft to float or fly in space for about a hundred years."
Raymond looked at the surprised expression of everyone and said seriously: "At present, the US government expects to complete the Noah's Ark spacecraft to be completed in one year and begin the test flight."
"Mr. Raymond, let me ask, if the disaster on earth happens, who is qualified to take refuge in the Noah's Ark spacecraft?" Buffett asked in a deep voice when his eyes flashed.
"Haha, of course it is a special group of people designated by the US government. They include senior government officials, scientists, elites of industry and commerce, and some people with special contributions." Raymond glanced at Buffett and laughed: "You and I have people here with American nationality. You will definitely get a ticket to Noah's Ark. You can rest assured."
"Since that's the case, what's the point of making ark?" Buffett asked back.
"Of course it makes sense! First of all, there are a few people in the iao organization who have American nationality. We cannot be too selfish. If we survive, we will ignore others. Secondly, the Noah's Ark spacecraft in the United States does not promise to issue a ticket to our families, so even if you get a ticket, you cannot guarantee that all the families can get it. In life in the world, family affection is the most important thing. Do we not consider the lives of our families for our own lives?" Raymond said seriously.
"Yes, yes! What the president said makes sense." Others echoed.
Raymond nodded and continued, "So, based on the above information, I decided to build our own Noah's Ark spacecraft, according to American standards, to accommodate up to 100,000 people so that our families can also be protected. Are you sure?"
"That's great, this is a good idea!" everyone agreed.
"Since everyone agrees, I will show you the draft plan I have formulated. If there is no problem, I will raise my hands to vote at tomorrow's summit." Raymond said.
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
Next, Raymond clicked on the touch screen, and the draft implementation of the iao Ark plan appeared on it.
First of all, there is a problem of fundraising. First, we must set up an Ark Fund. Each member has to invest money in this fund, which is equivalent to buying stocks. The time is one month. Finally, the proportion of shares held by each member determines the number of tickets he will have in Ark in the future.
Secondly, the implementation steps for the specific construction of the Ark. During the fundraising period, the Standing Committee must set up a plan implementation team to be responsible for formulating the construction plan.
Finally, the construction plan was formed and construction began for a year.
"President Raymond, what are you kidding? You can build a spaceship that can accommodate 100,000 people in a year? Is this a bit amazing? You just said that it took almost ten years for the United States to build Noah's Ark!" Someone immediately questioned the last one, thinking that Raymond's plan was obviously unrealistic.
"Let me explain, time is not waiting for anyone, the crisis is getting closer, and we must quickly shorten the construction period," Raymond said.
"With such a short construction period, how do you ensure the quality of the spacecraft? We built the spacecraft to save our lives. Don't create a defective product, which will become our grave!" Buffett immediately questioned.
"Haha, I'll explain it again." Raymond turned his head to look at Shen Yi sitting next to him and smiled: "This is why I strongly invite Mr. Shen Yi to join. I believe many people here are wondering why Shen Yi was invited in? Let me tell you that Mr. Shen Yi and his Tengyi Group are the most powerful high-tech dual-use manufacturing enterprises in the world. The military products manufactured by his Tianyi Island manufacturing base every year are of high quality and strong combat effectiveness, and are all high-quality among the high-quality products. Therefore, I decided that our iao Ark invites Tengyi Group to undertake the construction task. I wonder if Chairman Shen is interested?"
Shen Yi's eyes rolled and thought to himself: "It turns out that these guys have worked so much to let me join in order to help me build the Noah's Ark for refuge? They really look down on me!"
"Dong Shen, do you agree with my plan? I know that you are the only one in the world who has the ability to build Noah's Ark spaceship!" Raymond smiled.
Chen Yi scratched his hair and said with a faint smile: "President, you are too proud of me, right? Many of the people here are the world's top technology elites, including many military products manufacturers. Our Tengyi Group has just been established for more than five years, and there is still a gap compared to them."
"Chairman Chen, don't be humble. I ask you, are you building the moon ladder? How far is it going?" Raymond asked with a smile.
"It has reached the final stage." Chen Yi said truthfully.
"So when do you expect to build the moon ladder?" Raymond asked.
"At least one year, I can build a ladder from the moon to the earth." Chen Yi was not talking big.
Currently, the main body of the lunar ladder is stored in the system in his body. It is a high-end product obtained by upgrading the lottery. In recent years, the only optical cables that connect the lunar ladder are made. This optical cable connects the earth and the moon. It is strong and resistant to corrosion and radiation. The most important thing is that it has strong elasticity and can fully meet the length of stretching or contraction of the moon's rotation and the earth's revolution, ensuring the normal operation of the ladder.
"Then I ask you, what kind of resources do you build the moon ladder mainly transport from the moon?" Raymond asked with a smile on his eyes.
"Of course it's Helium-3, which is the safest and most reliable clean nuclear fuel in the future." Chen Yi said.
"That's right. The construction of Noah's Ark also requires this kind of fuel. This is the main reason why I invited you to join. In the future, once your moon ladder is built, it will become the largest energy giant on the earth. The Ark program must cooperate with you to complete it." Raymond said.
"It's okay to ask me to provide energy, but I can't do it if I have to build such a large ark spacecraft." Chen Yi said.
"Why?" Raymond asked.
"If you don't have that ability, our Tengyi Group also manufactures some military products, but they are all light weapons. I can't build a spacecraft like you said that can accommodate 100,000 people. I have to use national power to complete it." Chen Yi's words are also true. At present, his manufacturing system level is only an "engineer". Under this authority, he cannot create aerospace products. He needs to be upgraded to the "senior engineer" level.
However, there is still more than 20,000 points of proficiency before upgrading, and it will take a long time to upgrade.
"Chairman Chen, think of a solution! I believe you have this strength!" Raymond said with anticipation.
Chen Yi thought for a moment and smiled and said, "Let me do this, I can come up with a compromise."
"What compromise?" Raymond asked.
The directors here also put their attention on Chen Yi.
"It's very simple. If you don't build a spaceship, let's build a ship! I can build this one." Chen Yi smiled.
"Shipbuilding? Can you guarantee your ship can fight against any kind of catastrophic attack?" Raymond asked back.
Chapter completed!
