In the spacious office, Wang Yufei's eyes began to look blurry as he looked out the window, but he did not stop expressing his views.

"So why is the expansion of the universe accelerating? There is a very clear conclusion in physics. If energy is not injected into a closed system, then the system will not expand. In other words, our entire cosmic system is constantly expanding.

It is injected with energy that we don’t know. Physicists even invented a term, dark energy! But what exactly is dark energy, we don’t know.”

"But if these are not solved, when the age of the frozen earth comes, every human being living on the earth will be a sinner. So this step must be taken, even if it is just for the continuation of our humanity, we must take it!

Should we leave things that can be done well in our generation to the next generation? Let them consider how to coordinate the relationship between them?"

After saying that, Wang Yufei turned around fiercely, looked at the company's CEO, and asked: "Mr. Cook, do you still think my decision is meaningless? People are going to die eventually, and you really don't want your life to be so.

Can it be more meaningful? Or just because of your question today, we will lose the best opportunity to explore this universe in the future?"

Tim Cook was stunned. After looking at each other for a moment, in front of the values ​​of human justice, the former Apple man finally lowered his head slightly: "I think you are right, and I will use some time to understand these things."

Knowledge of astronomy.”

Wang Yufei nodded and promised again: "Of course, you can even talk to your NSAN scientist friends. I think professional astrophysicists must know better than me. Finally, please believe what I said to you before.

Promise that before your contract expires, you will be able to view the Earth from space."

For a long time, Tim Cook nodded silently.

…

Hou Wenhui brought Green Trueman to the twentieth floor of the company.

Walked through the long corridor and arrived at a door at the corner.

The door is a biological lock.

Sensing someone walking to the door, the door lock automatically opened, and then a door handle popped out. Hou Weihui put his hand on the door handle and immediately made a "beep" sound, and the door opened immediately.

"This is the dormitory that the company has prepared for you in advance. You will not be able to leave this room before you make a decision. During normal meal times every day, someone will deliver meals to you. If you have special needs, or during non-dinner hours

If you want something to eat, you can contact the dedicated service staff through the intercom phone in the room. Generally speaking, all your needs in life can be met. When you make a decision, just inform the service staff through the intercom phone and I will come to pick you up again.

You. Of course, if it is not during working hours, it may delay some time, so it is best not to make decisions late at night. Everything is for the sake of confidentiality, please understand."

After Hou Weihui welcomed Green Trueman into the room, he introduced him politely and even made a little joke at the end.

"Of course, I understand. And thank you very much, Mr. Hou!"

"You're welcome, and I look forward to working with you. Goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

…

Green Trueman watched Hou Weihui leave the room, and then began to observe his own room.

This is a small living room of about twenty square meters.

It was similar to the style he experienced in Wang Yufei's office, simple with a touch of science fiction style from the future world.

There was only an office-like rectangular table and a single chair in the small living room. As Wang Yufei said, there was an obvious camera sticking out of the table, like a lamp placed on the edge of the table.

Then there is a high-end looking water dispenser placed in the corner of the room, and there is nothing else.

There were no windows in the room, but the lights came on after the two came in, so it didn't look dark.

There should be complete fresh air and air-conditioning systems. Although the room layout is generally closed, he does not feel stuffy and the temperature is very suitable.

There were two doors on the left. Green Trueman walked over and took a look. One was the bedroom and the other was the bathroom.

There is also a special cabinet in the bathroom. I opened it and looked through it, and thoughtfully prepared a variety of brand new intimate clothing.

After walking around the room, Green Trueman came to the living room and stood in front of his desk. He took out the black memory Wang Yufei gave him from his pocket, but he did not put it directly at the camera, but frowned in confusion.

He raised his eyebrows.

If he remembered correctly, Hou Weihui told him that there should be an intercom phone in the room through which he could contact the outside world and make requests for daily living, but he saw no trace of the phone.

His own mobile phone had already been temporarily taken away by the security department before entering Wang Yufei's elevator, so how could he contact the outside world?

The most important thing is that he has a habit of having a glass of whiskey before starting to do something important.

It doesn't matter the brand or the taste. The main thing is that the right amount of alcohol can excite him and help him quickly activate his brain to enter a selfless working state. Especially when he feels slightly tired.

Well, he needs to find where the so-called intercom phone is first.

But there is only one camera on the table.

Just when Green Trueman was considering whether he should speak to the camera first, a gentle machine voice came from the room: "Dear Mr. Trueman, I have a video request for you. Could you please connect it?"

?”

"Of course, put on!" Green Trueman responded immediately.

There were light spots gathering on the table, and about a second later, an Asian male face projected by a holographic image appeared on the black table: "Hello, Mr. Trueman, I am your life steward these days, you can call me

The English name John is specially designed for you. During these days in Studio No. 1, I will serve you 24 hours a day. If you have any needs, you can call John directly in the room, and the internal communication in the room will be

Activated."

"Are you a real person or a virtual intelligent NPC?" Green Trueman asked curiously.

Through the holographic display technology, he really can't tell what the other party is.

Although Green Trueman is engaged in finance and his interest in technology is limited to whether it will have an impact on the financial market, he has been baptized by the Xin system after all. The virtual idols in National Idol can all have their own lives on the Internet.

personality and human-like reactions based on these personalities, so he was really not sure whether the person serving him was a real person.

The face on the holographic display smiled, and then asked Green Trueman a question: "Is this important? Mr. Trueman?"

Well, it really doesn't matter.

"I would like a glass of whiskey, preferably Scotch whiskey. Of course, if Scotch whiskey is not available, I can accept other whiskeys."

"No problem, the Scotch whiskey you need will be delivered in five minutes, please pay attention to receive it. So do you have any other needs now?"

"No, not anymore."

"Okay, bye then, have a nice day!"

"Thanks!"

…

Communication was cut off and the holographic image was extinguished.

Green Trueman began to study the table carefully.

He is still very interested in this holographic display technology.

But whether it was in the car or in Wang Yufei's office, he obviously didn't have the conditions to investigate carefully, but here he could.

It doesn't matter whether someone is monitoring him or not, everyone is curious about the latest technology in this world.

However, he gave up after a moment and came to the conclusion that this seemingly ordinary desk actually probably represented the most advanced level of technology on earth.

For example, his entire table was completely integrated, and he couldn't see any embedded traces at all. It was as if the table was directly formed in the mold, but this was obviously impossible.

After all, this is a modern desk that at least integrates holographic imaging technology. To implement these technologies means embedding various chips in the desk and then packaging them. This is obviously not something that can be done with a mold. So just

It can be attributed to the fact that the industrialization level of this table has made it impossible for him to find the principle of holographic images by observing it with the naked eye.

If he had an electron microscope, he might be able to make some discoveries.

After giving up the boring idea, Green Trueman pointed the memory Wang Yufei gave him at the camera stretched out on the table.

After a while, the desk made a "click" sound.

Then a small opening popped up on his right hand about fifteen centimeters from the edge of the table on his side.

Yes, the table that seemed to be completely integrated and completely black just now actually had a hole popping up.

Green Trueman looked at the small opening that popped up on the desktop, and then looked at the memory in his hand. The size of the opening seemed to be about the same as a vertical section, so he could just insert it directly?

At this time, action seems to be faster than brain.

As soon as this idea flashed through his mind, Green had already inserted the memory into the small opening that had just been exposed. The memory was inserted smoothly, but about two millimeters were still exposed. But when Green Trueman took back his hand, "

With a click, the cover that had just popped up pressed down directly, pressing the exposed chip directly in, and the table returned to its previous seamless appearance.

The next moment, the gentle system voice sounded again: "Dear Mr. Trueman, it has been detected that you have inserted a memory chip. The chip's confidentiality level is 2A. In order to ensure your right to know, you need to read the specific content of the chip before reading it.

You must first read a confidentiality agreement on level 2A and authorize it before you can read it. Would you like to read the level 2A confidentiality agreement immediately?"

After he finished speaking, a virtual panel popped up on the desktop, with two options: "YES" and "NO".

interesting.

Green Trueman stretched out his finger and clicked on the "YES" button when there was movement at the door of the room.

I stood up and walked to the door. The door was not open, but a piece popped off the middle of the door. A Macallan whiskey bottle was placed on it, with a square wine glass upside down on top of the bottle.

Well, as expected, he didn't see the real person, and it didn't solve the doubts in his mind just now.

But that's not important.

Taking the wine bottle in hand, there was a crisp "pop" sound, and the gusset plate closed again, and there was no gap in the door.

Green Trueman shrugged, returned to his desk, poured himself a small glass of whiskey, took a sip, and finally slid his finger over the "YES" button.
To be continued...
