Schiller eats very fast, and he can always eat some very disordered food very aesthetically, as if there is a special area in his brain responsible for studying which to eat first among a complex table of dishes.
Which one will be faster and more delicious to eat?
What's even more amazing is that he doesn't delay talking while eating, and there must be no food in his mouth when he opens his mouth. Stark always suspects that this is the result of the psychotherapy exercises he often gives to others while eating, but he has no evidence.
.
Stark took two bites of the burger, but he had no appetite. He asked a little sadly: "What business are you talking about?"
"Oh, that's it, Kama Taj..."
Schiller briefly described the situation of Kama Taj. The more Stark listened, the more uncomfortable he became. He said: "So now Strange wants to help those villages make money, but the magic herbs he made are not enough."
Yes, so he begged me?"
"Probably so." Schiller nodded.
Stark laughed, then choked himself. After drinking a few sips of water, he still said in a cheerful tone: "Hahahahahahaha, I knew his magic was unreliable! If only he had come to ask for it earlier.
I throw a satellite up there to connect him to the Internet, why do I need to go to so much trouble?"
Stark's mood has obviously improved a lot, and the expression on his face can be said to be elated. After all, he and Strange have been at odds with each other for a day or two.
The sentence is uncomfortable.
In terms of science and magic research, although the two cooperated, they were more competitive. Science envied the convenience of magic, and magic envied the scientific system, but they refused to let the other go. They had to score points to determine the winner.
Although science dominates the society of ordinary people, and more outstanding scientists have emerged after the operation of the solar system development plan, in terms of interstellar exploration, magic is so dominant that the two sides can be said to be indistinguishable.
Bo Zhong.
When he thought that Strange would be humble enough to beg him for a day, Stark instantly felt that the sun was shining brighter and the food was delicious. A lot of messy redundancies were instantly cleared out of his mind, and his mind was filled with ideas for making money.
.
When a person is in a good mood, his appetite naturally increases. Now Stark finally knew why Schiller ordered so many dishes.
He stuffed the burger into his mouth in three bites, dragged Schiller's plate towards the middle, picked up the knife and fork without ceremony and started to devour it.
After that, the two of them didn't speak, but concentrated on eating. When Schiller worked in the hospital, he basically didn't have time to eat properly, so all he ate were white people's meals.
They don't know why the portions in Stark's cafeteria are so large, or the dishes in front of them are so large. The two of them ate so much that they almost finished all the dishes.
After eating, Schiller wiped his mouth, changed the topic and said, "How is the Star Core Space Station? The trial operation should be pretty good."
"There was no big problem." Stark said: "Although only the core components are my technology, the rest of the parts are not difficult. Except for the previous section where the docking of the space station was always unstable, everything else is pretty good.
."
"All the staff are in place?"
"Of course, they have been working for almost two months, and everything is going smoothly so far." Stark thought for a while and said: "Humanity has never had such a large space station. In addition to sending astronauts, countries also send
We have hired some general technical engineering staff and cleaning staff, and they should be settled now."
"Is Peter's uncle up there?"
"Yes, he has finished one round of work and went home to rest." Stark said: "Considering that all countries have sufficient manpower, they adopt a shift system with a cycle of two months. It's time
Just bring in another group of people."
"This is not bad. After all, many skilled workers without professional training cannot bear to be separated from their families for a long time."
"In fact, we plan to adopt this system for astronauts and station scientists. After all, no one wants to be separated from their families for a long time, and there is no shortage of people now."
"What about technical cooperation between countries?"
Stark waved his hand and said: "We can't talk about different countries. It's mainly technical cooperation between China and the United States. Some engines are made in Russia, while Europe is responsible for electronic chip technology. The small transport planes that enter and leave the space station are Wakanda's technology.
Weak magnetic docking was developed by the mutants, and most other countries are cheering for it."
"Don't those small countries have any ideas?"
After thinking about it for a while, Stark said: "The Middle East is more ambitious. Relying on their own money and paying for technical personnel from other countries, they have built more than a dozen laboratories and plan to carry out independent development.
."
"Nordic countries are still too advanced in their mental state. They focus all their skills on the aesthetic research of exteriors and interiors. They seem to be determined to take the art student route."
“The small countries surrounding several big countries, such as those in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and even the American enclaves, Canada and Australia, basically follow the lines of the big countries and do some work of checking and filling in gaps.
"
"The only weird one is India." Stark showed an indescribable expression and said: "They are very motivated and feel that they have the strength, but except for their cabin, there is no part of the entire space station.
The responsible departments dare to let the Indians get their hands on it, I think they are wise."
??????????.??????
"Can't you just reject them?"
"Of course not, it's still a big country after all." Stark sighed and said, "Actually, I don't understand what they want to do. If they want to lay a solid foundation, they should introduce talents, improve hardware standards, and go to the Middle East like they did in the Middle East.
On the road of independence, even if you can't develop any mainstream technology, you can master a few patents for supplementary technologies that fill in the gaps in mainstream technology, which is enough to drink the soup of the interstellar era."
"But not only do they not bring in talents, they also drive away scientific and technological talents. Now, major laboratories around the world are full of Indians applying for jobs. It's as if they have to sharpen their brains and squeeze in to cause trouble."
"If he wants to take the vassal route, he doesn't have allies around him. As long as he shows some sincerity, he can always negotiate some cooperation projects. Even if he only takes over the manufacturing industry, he can make a lot of money. But for such a long time, there has been no
It depends on what project was negotiated, maybe their environment is really unfriendly to foreign investment."
Stark shook his head, obviously not understanding this move by India. Schiller asked with some concern: "Are you sure the key components are not made in India?"
"Don't worry, China has always had excess production capacity. Our research and development speed cannot keep up with their production speed. Except for some patented parts that have not yet been opened, they are basically made in China."
"So how's the patent cooperation going?"
"This part has never been optimistic." Stark rubbed his temples and said: "Everyone is holding on to their own old foundation as a treasure. After the opening up, various restrictive measures were also added. Some do not allow production abroad, and some do not allow production abroad.
There are requirements for the service life, and Nick organized several negotiations, which basically ended on bad terms.”
"Then what do you plan to do? Do you really plan to stay in the laboratory until eternity, and then develop technologies that transcend the times and eliminate them all?"
Stark glanced at Schiller in surprise, wondering why he knew his train of thought, but now that he had seen it, he could only say: "Okay, almost, I know this idea is a bit stupid, but at least it's still
There’s a bit of hope, isn’t it?”
"As long as one person's technology can always lead the world, the rest will have to cooperate even if they don't cooperate, otherwise they will never be able to eat the cutting-edge cake, and no one will be happy."
"But don't you think this is a stupid idea?"
"Of course I know." Stark emphasized again: "But what can I do? As a psychiatrist, don't you know that human nature cannot stand the test, and the ultimate answer of game theory is war?"
"It is more difficult than anyone imagines to use peaceful means to move mankind forward," Schiller said: "Of course I understand this, but I think you are just scratching the surface."
"What's the meaning?"
"There is a proverb in the ancient East, which is that stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade." Schiller said this sentence in Chinese, and then he translated it, "It means that when you find that you can't fight head-on, you may be able to find someone to fight against."
It’s a tricky way.”
Stark narrowed his eyes and stared at him, still not guessing what he was going to say.
"If you want to use science to defeat science, and defeat all mankind with the power of one person, the effort required is beyond what anyone can bear. There is no point in doing this except destroying yourself."
"What should we do?"
"Use magic." Schiller shrugged and said, "In some fields, magic is a dimensionality reduction attack on science. It may be that all human scientists have worked hard for hundreds of years to achieve results. In the magic world, little wizards can do it."
Ordinary spells."
Although Stark didn't want to admit it, he still nodded. It was indeed the case. Children like Karma Taj and others who had just entered school for two years were able to teleport around with hanging rings. However, there is still nothing that can be popularized on a large scale in the human scientific community.
Transmission technology that can be widely used, otherwise there would be no need for air transportation.
"But magic depends on talent." Stark immediately pointed out, "There may not be a few magicians among 100 million people. Those great wizards traveled all over the country, and they only found a few hundred students.
?”
The implication is that although these technologies are good, if most people cannot use them, there will be no market. Without the market, there will be no benefits. Without benefits, no one will be willing to invest too much in research and development. It cannot be said that only talented people can use teleportation technology.
Bar?
"That's true." Schiller nodded without denying it, but said, "But maybe there is a way."
"What?"
"What if everyone had a gift for magic?"
"This is impossible." Stark denied it flatly. He said: "It's not like you haven't heard Stephen's long argument. The affinity for magical elements comes from the nature of the soul, and the nature of the soul comes from the soul synchronization of the parents. Yes.
Totally random.”
"But isn't the essence of science just to transform randomness?" Schiller smiled, looked at Stark and said, "Isn't man-made talent for controlling magic the best answer to science's defeat of magic?"
