Chapter 1999

"Entrust the future of mankind to me?"

Suddenly hearing such a sentence, Smith Zhou was taken aback first, and then immediately revealed you Take my cracking a joke expression again.

Let’s not talk about whether it is a reliable thing to entrust the future of mankind to one person. It is questionable whether Stark and the others, as the ruling class, trust him so much. The problem.

He didn't believe that Stark would be so stupid, so stupid that he placed his trust in someone they couldn't control. And just as he thought, Stark did not intend to pin all his hopes on him. He only placed a small part of it, and to put it in detail, Stark regarded him as one of many.

"Yes, the future of mankind. Of course, I am only referring to one of the hopes for the future of mankind. It's as if we don’t put eggs in a basket, in terms of major issues related to the future of mankind. , We are also impossible to only pin our hopes on you alone."

"I can understand, this is a wise move. However, I still don’t quite understand what your so-called hope is What?"

Smith Zhou didn't care about the considerations Stark made from his own standpoint. He was more concerned about his idea itself, what kind of means he had prepared. For this, Stark himself didn't have any thoughts of selling off, so he spoke directly to Smith Zhou.

"I intend to establish a fleet spaceship that humans use to escape to the universe, with you and a few other people with special talents as the captain who presides over the overall situation. When humans encounter an uncontestable crisis At that time, you will shoulder the final mission, with the help of artificial intelligence, carry the last hope of mankind and set out beyond Earth to find a new home for the rebirth and continuation of our race."

One He confided his own plan, and Stark was inevitably worried. Although he has realized that Smith Zhou is a smart man, he is not certain that Smith Zhou will agree with the plan of own.

The smarter you are, the easier it is to disagree on certain issues. After all, smart people always think a lot, and expecting two smart people to pee into the same pot, unless they are in agreement and like-minded, it is really not easy.

Stark does not expect Smith Zhou to fully agree with the idea of ​​own. He only hopes that Smith Zhou will not object and cooperate as much as possible. What he didn't expect was that Smith Zhou was accidentally in line with him on this issue, and almost agreed with his point of view without hesitation.

"This idea sounds very creative. In fact, if that is possible, I don’t reject the feeling of being a captain. It’s just that, Mr. Stark, human technology has now developed to this point. To the point, is it enough to support the plan of exile in space you mentioned?"

"You mean Interstellar sailing?" Stark knows what Smith Zhou is talking about, and for such a question. He pursed the corner of his mouth first, and then said in a less certain tone. "From the perspective of scientific research, the technology is basically mature. It is not a problem for us to conduct space flight and exploration. The problem is the curvature engine...For now, we can only do it initially. It’s just a sub-light speed."

"Even if we navigate the universe at the speed of light, this will be a long enough journey. After all, compared to the vast and boundless of the universe, we are really It’s too small. And if we want to find our next home in such a boundless universe, the time spent in the middle may be counted in hundreds of years."

"I am not worried about energy. The large Arc Reactor can provide us with enough energy to support our spaceship for such a long journey. The problem is other consumable resources... Whether it is food or daily necessities, it is impossible to satisfy tens of thousands of people for such a long time Consume..."

"Tens of thousands? Do you plan to bring so many humans?"

A spaceship is packed with tens of thousands of people. Thinking of it makes people feel shocked. Because this is not to build a square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but to build a spaceship that can carry tens of thousands of people for space travel, ensuring that they sail smoothly while still satisfying all their life needs.

In addition to the various power and protective devices necessary for spaceship, there is also a huge resource regeneration system to maintain these human consumption. This includes possible crop cultivation, animal breeding, and, if possible, certain living and entertainment facilities for humans. Of course, maintenance equipment like factories is also essential. It is not known that such a huge spaceship will fly for hundreds of years. It is impossible to say that there is no problem in the middle. And even for precautionary considerations, preparing specialized maintenance equipment is also essential.

This will be a big project, and the implementation of such a big project, even if the country is the construction party, will probably be a very difficult thing.

This is what Smith Zhou can’t understand. If a big country like United States can still build two or three spaceships of this scale, then it is estimated that only the big country in the East can do the same thing after the entire world.

Russian Ross may have this ability, but his economy cannot support him to do so. As for those countries in Europe, unless they can work together, it is basically impossible to build a spaceship of this scale. And hope that they can work together, this is don't crack a joke. Those small countries with lagging industrial strength are already very good if they don't pull back on this matter.

In general, this kind of thing may be feasible, but it is almost impossible to apply to all countries. And considering that this may be the only possibility for mankind to save hope at the moment of peril, then it is conceivable how many nasty things can erupt in the middle.

From this point of view, Stark's ideas may be too naive. It's hard to say what kind of reality the plan will become. But who can say with certainty that Stark can't do this?

Maybe there will be some difficulties and obstacles, but in the face of the survival of the entire mankind, no matter how many problems and obstacles, I am afraid that the result will only be crushed. Smith Zhou didn't doubt that Stark could do what they expected, and as a potential identity, he was also happy to see such a result.

Humanity spreads its footprints to the sea of ​​stars, which is tantamount to expanding the territory of mankind in disguise. And for him, who has regarded the entire human race as something in his palm, this is also expanding his interests, isn't it?

Anyway, these spaceships are impossible to escape the palm of his hand wherever they fly, and when he finishes cleaning up the endgame of this World, the places where the spaceship radiates will naturally become the benefits he can receive easily. . This is a real benefit, and he really can't find any reason to refuse. Naturally, he nodded to Stark.

"Very well, if you decide to do this, I will vote for it. Believe me, there is still a little weight."

Smith. Zhou said this. When he was very confident, of course, he did have a reason to be so confident. Under the acquiescence that he lifted the crisis for this World, his own prestige will reach a very high level. Although it is said that out of tacit understanding, human governments will not make such matters public, but within them oneself, Smith Zhou’s opinions will also become a key factor that cannot be ignored.

Once he has expressed his opinion, even if some people are unwilling, they will have to take his opinion seriously. This will play a key role, and Stark knows this very well. So he gratefully addressed Smith Zhou nodded, and then asked a crucial question.

"Many thanks for your support, Mr. Zhou. Then, if all goes well, how can I contact you?"

"Huiyao City, my son lives Place. You should know it."

Smith. Zhou's answer made Stark a little unexpected. As far as he knows, the relationship between father and son should not be very good. With such a terrible father and son relationship, Zhou Yi has almost always rejected the nominal father. Who would have expected that he would choose to take advantage of the disappearance of Zhou Yi. .

Yes, take advantage of the emptiness to enter. Stark only thought of such an oriental idiom to describe oneself's inner feelings. And it seems that he could see what he was thinking, Smith Zhou first smiled indifferently, and then said to him.

"It looks like you also know the bad relationship between me and him, but this doesn’t change the bloodline connection between us, doesn’t it?"

" Of course. Some things really cannot be changed."

Stark, who is already a father and had the same problem, clearly agrees with this issue. He knows very well that a son cannot understand the own father in many cases. But since you are a son, one day you will understand what your father thinks. This is father and son, this is the fetters of bloodline.

He himself came from here, so he also hopes that Zhou Yi and his father can also come to this step. In any case, it is better for the two to reconcile when his father is alive than if Smith Zhou died and Zhou Yi would regret it again. This can be regarded as an expectation of friends, which is a good thing. At least he himself thinks so. With this expectation that he believes oneself infallible, he blessed Smith Zhou in this way.

"I hope there will be some turning point between you. After all, it is a family, there is really no need to make the relationship like this!"

"I hope. But I miss you I also know that guy’s character. It’s not something I can do casually to change his mind. I can only do my best..."

Rubbing his eyebrows, Smith Zhou showed a distressed look. Of course, this is not just pretending, but that he was really troubled by this problem.

If Zhou Yi is so easy to be persuaded by him, then he doesn't have to wait until now, this World has long been in the palm of their father and son. However, Zhou Yi simply rejected him on this issue, and as a last resort, he can only use some special methods to achieve his own purpose.

This is an unbearable past event, which made him headache and sad. So even if he mentioned that this topic was brought up by him, he no longer meant to continue it. For him, in the current situation, there are also many things that he needs to handle personally, and no matter which thing it is, it is more important than talking with Stark here. Therefore, he deliberately raised his hand and made a gesture of looking at the watch, and said to Stark.

"Sorry, I’m still in a hurry. So if I can, I think it’s time to say goodbye to you!"

"Of course, of course, please feel free ......"

Stark not at all asked Smith Zhou to stay here, or rather, instead of letting him face this guy all the time, he would rather maintain a relationship between them A safe distance is better.

Because after experiencing all these crises, Smith Zhou's threat in his eyes has already risen to an unsurpassable level. If he still had doubts about Smith Zhou's ability to bear the title of Zhou Yi father also before this, then he is clearly confirmed now.

With such overwhelming power, this kind of power that almost makes humans powerless, it can be said that Zhou Yi is carved out of the same mold. The old saying that there is a father must have a son is aptly used here.

In such a different Tianyuan, he instinctively awed the existence of Smith Zhou. Even if he said that he knew that oneself and Smith Zhou were friends and not enemies, but instinctively, this was beyond its control.

It's like ants and humans. Once the ant recognizes the existence of human beings, it will instinctively want to stay away from this existence that can destroy own at any time. For the same reason, Stark is not willing to have too much contact with this kind of guy who can pinch his own at any time. Maybe he used to be proud and arrogant, thinking that human effort is enough to catch up with this innate gap, but as the event develops, as everything just appears in front of him and goes beyond his control, The arrogance in his heart has also been beaten and disappeared.

He must admit that human beings are small and their powerlessness. In the face of such powerful existence as Thanos, Dormammu and even Smith Zhou, all their efforts are just a passing scene as ridiculous. They can only rely on the existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with them, only the shelter of these monsters. And whether this kind of shelter is a good thing or a bad thing, by this time, he can no longer control so much.

Howling wind and torrential rain, stormy sea, it’s time for this, what else can you ask of him, the captain holding the rudder? But it’s just to do everything and to obey that’s all.
