Chapter 1862 Future plans give up the struggle
"Trust me the future of mankind?"
When he suddenly heard this sentence, Smith Zhou was stunned at first, and then immediately showed an expression of you joking about me again.
Not to mention whether it is a reliable thing to entrust the future of mankind to a person, whether Stark and others, who are the ruling class, trust him so much is a question worth discussing.
He didn't believe Stark would be so stupid, so stupid that he placed his trust on someone they could not control. And as he thought, Stark did not intend to put all hope on him. He only put a small part of it, and to put it more specifically, Stark regarded him as one of the many behind him.
"Yes, the future of mankind. Of course, I mean only one of the hopes of mankind's future. Just as we wouldn't put eggs in a basket, we can't just pin our hopes on you alone in the major issues concerning the future of mankind."
"I can understand, this is a wise move. However, I still don't quite understand, what exactly is your so-called hope?"
Smith Zhou didn't care about Stark's considerations from his own position. What he cared more about was his idea itself, what kind of means he had prepared. Stark himself had no idea of keeping it in hiding, so he said to Smith Zhou very directly.
"I plan to build a fleet spacecraft used by humans to escape into the universe, and use you and several other people with special talents as the captains who preside over the overall situation. When humans encounter unconfrontational dangers, you will shoulder the final mission and, with the help of artificial intelligence, carry the last hope of human beings beyond the earth, and search for a new home where our race rebirth and continuation."
Stark was inevitably nervous when he revealed his plan in one breath. Although he had already realized that Smith Zhou was a smart person, he could not say with certainty that Smith Zhou would agree with his plan.
The smarter a person is, the more likely he is to have differences on certain issues. After all, smart people always think a lot, and it is not easy to expect two smart people to pee into a pot unless they are in love and have similar interests.
Stark did not expect Smith Zhou to fully agree with his idea. He only hoped that Smith Zhou would not object and cooperate as much as possible. But what he did not expect was that Smith Zhou accidentally co-starred with him on this issue and agreed with his point of view almost without hesitation.
"This idea sounds very creative. In fact, if that is possible, I don't reject the feeling of being a captain. But, Mr. Stark, is human technology now developing to this point enough to support what you are talking about in space exile?"
"Are you talking about interstellar navigation?" Stark knew what Smith Zhou was talking about, and for such a question, he pursed his lips first, and then said in a less certain tone. "From the perspective of scientific research, the technology is basically mature. Carrying space flight and exploration is not a problem for us. The problem is that at present, we can only initially achieve sub-light speed transition."
"Even if you navigate the universe at the speed of light, it will be a long enough journey. After all, compared to the vastness of the universe, we are really too small. And if you want to find our next home in such an endless universe, the time spent in the middle will probably be in a century."
"I'm not worried about energy. Large ark reactors can provide us with enough energy to support our spacecraft on such a long journey. The problem is that other consuming resources, whether food or daily necessities, cannot satisfy the consumption of tens of thousands of people for such a long time."
"Ten thousand people? Are you planning to bring so many humans?"
A spaceship is filled with tens of thousands of people, and this scale will make people shocked just by thinking about it. 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 on space travel, ensuring their sailing smoothly while also meeting all their needs in life.
In addition to the necessary power and protective devices of the spacecraft, there is also a huge resource recycling system to maintain the consumption of these humans. This includes the possible implementation of crop cultivation and animal breeding, and if possible, it also provides humans with certain living and entertainment facilities. Of course, maintenance equipment like factories is also indispensable. Such a huge spacecraft will have to fly for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to say that there is no problem in the middle. Even for the sake of planning ahead, preparing special maintenance equipment is an indispensable thing.
This will be a big project, and even if the country is used as the construction party for such a large project, it will probably be a very difficult task.
This is where Smith Zhou could not understand it. If a great power like the United States could still have the energy to build two or three spacecraft of this size, then in the whole world, it would probably be that only the big power in the East could do the same thing.
Russia may have this ability, but its economy cannot support him. As for those countries in Europe, it is impossible to build a spacecraft of this size unless they can work together. And don’t joke about them. It would be great if those small countries with backward industrial strength do not pull themselves back on this matter.
In general, this kind of thing may be possible, but it is almost impossible to apply to all countries. Considering that this may be the only possibility for human beings to preserve hope in the face of danger, then how many dirty things can break out in the middle is conceivable.
From this perspective, Stark's ideas may be too naive. It is hard to say what kind of realistic situation will turn this plan into instincts. But who can say with certainty that Stark and the others really can't do this?
There may be some difficulties and obstacles, but in the face of the survival problems of the entire human race, no matter how many problems and obstacles there are, they will probably only be crushed. Smith Zhou did not doubt Stark and the others could do the step they expected, and as he has another potential identity, he was happy to see such a result.
Human beings spread their footprints to the sea of stars, which is equivalent to expanding the territory of human beings in disguise. For him, who has already regarded the entire human being as the object in his palm, this has also expanded his interests, right?
Anyway, these spacecraft could never escape the palm of his hand when they flew. When he finished cleaning up the end of the world, the places where the spacecraft radiated naturally became the benefits that he could receive. This is a real benefit, and he really couldn't find any reason to refuse. Naturally, he nodded at Stark.
"Very good, if you decide to do this, I will vote for it. Believe me, it's still a little bit more weight."
Smith Zhou was very confident when he said this. Of course, he did have reasons for being so confident. In the case of acquiesceing that he relieved the crisis of the world, his own prestige would reach a very high level. Although it was said that the human government would not make such a thing public, within themselves, Smith Zhou's opinions would also become an important factor that cannot be ignored.
Once he made a statement, even if some people were unwilling to do so, they would have to pay attention to his opinions. This would play a key role, and Stark knew this very well. So he nodded gratefully to Smith Zhou and asked a key question.
"Thank you for your support, Mr. Zhou. So, if everything goes well, how can I contact you?"
"Huiyao City, where my son lives. You should know."
Smith Zhou's answer made Stark unexpected. As far as he knew, the relationship between father and son should not be very good. With such a bad father and son relationship, Zhou Yi almost always kept his nominal father out of the door. Who would have expected that when Zhou Yi disappeared, he would actually choose to take advantage of the situation.
Yes, take advantage of the situation. Stark only thought of such an oriental idiom to describe his inner feelings. It seemed that he could see what he was thinking. Smith Zhou smiled indifferently, and then said to him like this.
"It seems you know the bad relationship between me and him, but this doesn't change the blood-borne connection between us, doesn't it?"
"Of course. Some things really cannot be changed."
Stark, who has been a father and has the same problem, obviously agrees with this problem deeply. He is very clear that a son cannot understand his father in many cases. But since he is a son, one day you will understand what your father thinks. This is father and son, and this is the bond of blood.
He came from here, so he also hoped that Zhou Yi and his father could also get to this point. No matter what, it would be better for the two to reconcile when his father was alive than Smith and Zhou died, and Zhou Yi would regret it again. This is a expectation for his friends and a good thing. At least he thought so. With this self-righteous expectation, he blessing Smith and Zhou like this.
"I hope there will be some turning point between you. After all, it's a family, so there's really no need to turn the relationship like this!"
"I hope. But I think you know the guy's personality. If you want to reverse his concept, it is not something that can be done casually, and I can only do my best."
After rubbing his eyebrows, Smith Zhou showed a distressed look. Of course, this was not pretending, but he was really worried about this problem.
If Zhou Yi was so easily convinced by him, he wouldn't have to wait until now. This world has long been the object of their father and son. However, Zhou Yi simply rejected him on this issue, and he had no choice but to use some special means to achieve his own goals.
This is a past that is unbearable to look back on, which makes him headache and sad. So even if the topic was raised by him, he no longer has the intention to continue it. For him, there are still many things that he needs to do in person in the current situation, and no matter which thing is taken out alone, it will be more important than nonsense with Stark here. Therefore, he deliberately raised his hand, 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 do whatever you want."
Stark did not ask Smith Zhou to stay here, or rather, rather than letting him face to face with this guy, he would rather maintain a safe distance between them.
Because after experiencing all this crisis, Smith Zhou's threat in his eyes has increased to an insurmountable level. If before that, he still had some questions about whether Smith Zhou could afford the title of Zhou Yi's father, then now, he is obviously sure.
With such overwhelming power, this kind of power that almost makes humans powerless, can be said to be carved from the same mold as Zhou Yi. The old saying that if you have a father, you have a son, is appropriate here.
And under such a world of difference, he had already instinctively awe of Smith and Zhou's existence. Even though he was very clear that he and Smith and Zhou were friends but not enemies, instinctive things were no longer something it could control.
It's like an ant and a human. Once an ant recognizes the existence of human beings, it will instinctively want to stay away from this existence that can destroy itself at any time. By the same token, Stark is unwilling to have too much contact with such a guy who can kill him at any time. Maybe he was arrogant and believed that human efforts were enough to catch up with this innate gap, but as the event developed, as everything appeared in front of him and exceeded his control, the arrogance in his heart had already been beaten away.
He must admit that human beings are insignificant and their powerlessness. When facing powerful existences like Thanos, Domaum and even Smith and Zhou, all their efforts are just ridiculous things like passing by. All they can rely on are those who can compete with them, and only the protection of these monsters. Is this protection a good thing or a bad thing? By this time, he can no longer control so much.
