"But just for the sake of practicality, it's worth considering. So now it depends on what everyone thinks."

Such a major matter cannot be decided by Mr. Cheng alone.

The space city project is a major national project.

If we follow the normal process, it will take several years or even longer to come up with a decent plan.

And this is just a plan, there is no sign of construction even starting yet.

Therefore, if they were to build a space city according to their internal procedures, it would take at least ten to twenty years.

After all, the space city project is not currently in their key planning.

So Mr. Cheng had no choice but to seize this opportunity, gather everyone together, and discuss a result together.

If everyone has the same intention, then there is nothing to say, just sign the relevant documents and start work immediately.

“I think this matter cannot be rushed.”

"In our current space armament plan, there is no space city project at all."

"Things like this have to wait until it's decided from above."

"That's right. Our current focus is still on strengthening the armed forces in low-Earth orbit and enhancing defense."

"Although the space city sounds good, let's just look at the current situation of Space City No. 1."

“It’s a bottomless pit of money, and there’s no immediate return.”

"At least in the short term, this thing is of no use at all."

The people present had already conducted detailed investigations and gained understanding of the space city plan.

So they saw the flaws in this project at a glance.

Naturally, this project was not included in the space armament plan.

Although the technology provided by Jiang Chen may enable them to build a better space city.

But this will also consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

This will undoubtedly slow down the overall progress of their space armament program.

So, even though this was something Jiang Chen had promised, no one agreed immediately.

Instead, they expressed their concerns.

"How about we think about it carefully? The space city that Jiang Chen wants to build is not comparable to those space cities in the United States."

“The initial investment is a bit large.”

"But in the long run, we can do more scientific research on it, so it might not be a loss."

Mr. Cheng still wants to try again.

In fact, he himself is not quite clear what the purpose of this space city project is.

But he believed in Jiang Chen unconditionally.

This reason alone is enough for him to fully support it.

After all, the space city is a brand new concept that requires continuous exploration and demonstration.

The Space City No. 1 in the United States is habitable.

It can also meet people's daily needs and rely on a recyclable scientific system to ensure sufficient food and water supply every day.

But the shortcomings are also obvious, and this is a common problem.

It is simply impossible to achieve permanent residence.

Otherwise, human life expectancy will be greatly shortened to less than half of its original length.

Radiation outside the universe is no joke.

Imagine living in Space City No. 1.

What we care about every day is not whether we are happy or not.

Instead, I racked my brains thinking about how to solve the daily expenses of food, clothing and daily necessities.

Moreover, life in space is restricted in every way.

Compared with the residents living on the planet, it is a world of difference.

What is the significance of such a space city?

At most, it's just for the sake of temporary novelty.

This is also why, even though the United States has already built a space city, the top leaders did not choose to follow suit.

These are all well thought out.

"The concept of a space city is feasible, but it depends on the timing. For now, it is not that important for our country."

“So I reserve my opinion and won’t take a stand for now.”

"I also reserve my opinion and will not express my position."

Many people present reserved their own opinions.

He neither agreed with Mr. Cheng's plan nor rejected it outright.

It is still in the discussion stage.

Everyone’s attitude towards space cities is that they can be considered in the future, but definitely not now.

"In this case, I have nothing to say."

"I think everyone's considerations make sense. Let's keep this project for now and discuss it again when we have the chance."

Mr. Cheng smiled helplessly. This was all he could do.

He has tried his best to fight for it, and since no one agrees, he can only put it aside for now and talk about it later.

After the meeting, Mr. Cheng came to Jiang Chen’s Star Group headquarters.

He took Jiang Chen to the military's scientific research institute.

Along the way, Mr. Cheng sighed from time to time.

"Mr. Cheng, what's wrong with you? Didn't I promise you? Why are you still sighing here?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask when he saw Mr. Cheng like this.

"Don't underestimate my space city. It can't be compared with those space cities in the United States." Jiang Chen said confidently, "As long as you really want to organize such a big project, it will be a piece of cake."

"You can't ask me to provide both technology and manpower and material resources at the same time," Jiang Chen teased half-jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Cheng suddenly looked at Jiang Chen with a serious face, without any hint of joking in his eyes.

"Yes, if that were the case."

Jiang Chen was shocked by this. He pretended to be exaggerated and said, "Why don't we just turn back now? I don't want this person anymore. I'll look for someone else somewhere else."

Only then did Mr. Cheng reveal a slightly forced smile.

"I was just kidding you. It's not necessary to go that far."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes helplessly, muttering in his heart that the jokes these old guys played were really unbearable.

"I have discussed the space city project with others." Old Cheng put away his smile and said seriously, "But they are not very willing. Although I have been trying hard to get it, it seems to have no effect."

"I'm afraid this project will be delayed for a long time."

Jiang Chen spread his hands after hearing this, and it was not easy to say anything more. After all, this was an internal matter.

Since he promised to provide the technology and equipment, he would definitely do it. Since they have no plans in this regard at the moment, then forget it.

"Okay, I'll take you to see the people first, and let's put this matter aside for now." Jiang Chen said, "But don't be too proud. We will definitely carry out the space city project, it's just a matter of time."

As they talked, the two came to the nationally renowned National Defense College. This place is not a place that anyone can enter, and the requirements for each student are extremely strict.

Not only do they need to have good grades and good physical fitness, but their family background also needs to be investigated.

This college has always been Jiang Chen's dream place.

Today, Jiang Chen's evaluation criteria for a school are no longer based on the proportion of top students or the outstanding scientific research results.

What he values ​​more is the lofty ideological atmosphere here.

The National Defense Academy completely met his requirements. Moreover, its scientific research capabilities were also quite strong.

The students who can enter here are the best of the best. If they can serve the country in the future, it will be the highest honor.

Therefore, the ideological awareness of students here is naturally much higher than that of other top universities.

Mr. Cheng brought Jiang Chen to the junior class.

According to Jiang Chen's requirements, the research assistant he is looking for must have a high IQ and be young, with those between fifteen and twenty years old being the ideal age.

People who engage in scientific research know that in this field, although many people think that older scientists are, their abilities are stronger and their scientific research level is higher, and they are the mainstay of future scientific and technological innovation.

But Jiang Chen doesn't think so.

In fact, many scientists first achieved significant results and world-shaking achievements when they were young. In their later years, they have achieved nothing.

Only young people are more innovative in scientific research and technology.

With their passion, they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to their work.

Most of the children in the junior class are between ten and fifteen years old.

Jiang Chen just glanced at it casually and shook his head in disappointment.

These children did have high IQs, but they were too young to be his scientific assistants.

In desperation, Mr. Cheng had to bring Jiang Chen to their advanced research institute again.

The people here are all young people, engaged in research in various fields, including aviation, physics, chemistry, etc.

Jiang Chen started the interview quickly.

The interview requirements are very simple, to put it simply, it is to test your IQ.

If you want to be Jiang Chen's scientific assistant, there is only one hard requirement: you must have a high IQ, and the other requirements can be relaxed appropriately.

But after Jiang Chen's test, it was found that the IQ of these people was generally between 130 and 135.

Compared to ordinary people, it was definitely outstanding and could kill a large number of people of the same age in seconds. But in Jiang Chen's opinion, it was still a little lacking.

I can only be considered mediocre. As his scientific assistant, I am afraid I cannot really help him solve problems effectively.

The interview lasted for nearly five hours. Jiang Chen looked at many talents with high IQ and high ideological awareness, but he was not satisfied with any of them. This made Mr. Cheng a little unhappy.

"Can you stop being so picky? These are our top talents." Old Cheng couldn't help but complain, "They have been receiving focused training since they were young, and now they are playing a big role in their respective research fields."

"If you are not satisfied with this, I don't think I can find the right person in the whole world."

Old Cheng knew that Jiang Chen was a top scientist, unprecedented and unrivalled. But he couldn't expect everyone to have as many astonishing scientific research results as him.

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, his attitude very firm.

"If there is no suitable candidate, I will never randomly choose a scientific assistant." Jiang Chen said seriously, "Any scientific experiment project must be treated rigorously, so the IQ requirements are very high."

"If I really can't find the right person, forget it this time. I'll look for it next time."

Jiang Chen might be able to make concessions on other matters, but he was determined not to compromise on the matter of selecting a scientific assistant.

He had extremely strict requirements for the IQ of his scientific assistants, which had to be over 170.

If you can't meet this standard, there's no point in discussing anything.

In addition to an IQ of over 170, the applicant must also be under 20 years old.

These two conditions are high thresholds that are difficult to cross for many talented scientists.

It really depends on luck to find someone who meets the requirements.

So before coming, Jiang Chen prepared himself mentally.

"Alas, it seems that you will get a great bargain this time." Old Cheng sighed helplessly.

"I didn't want to let this person go, but for his future development, I can only reluctantly let him go and give him to you."

"After all, he is the only one who can meet your almost harsh conditions."

Mr. Cheng originally thought that Jiang Chen just wanted to find two scientific assistants to help him.

Therefore, he did not take this seriously at all and just randomly found some young and promising talented scientific researchers and asked Jiang Chen to choose.

Now it seems that Jiang Chen's vision is really high.

"I told you, how could such a big national defense school not have top talents? You old man are still trying to hide it from me."

"Stop keeping us in suspense and introduce it to me quickly." Jiang Chen said anxiously.

Mr. Cheng's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and his entire aura also subtly changed.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but become serious.

"I can give you the person, but you have to agree to my three conditions." Mr. Cheng said solemnly.

"He is a key protected object of our country and is more precious than a national treasure."

"Especially in the field of mathematics, his talent is simply amazing."

"At only fourteen, he solved a mathematical problem that had troubled the world for two hundred years, and created his own formula - the law of seven-way lines."

"After that, he made a number of algorithmic breakthroughs in mathematics."

"Our country has always strictly protected such talents. If nothing unexpected happens and he develops along a normal trajectory, he will never appear in the public eye in his lifetime."

"He will quietly work hard in mathematics."

Jiang Chen also became cautious when he heard it.

Once Mr. Cheng becomes serious, he is definitely serious and is never joking.

It seems that this is a rare genius.

Maybe in some aspects, his IQ is even higher than Jiang Chen's.

If he could really recruit such talents, it would definitely be a great help to Jiang Chen's future scientific research work.

It can help him solve many problems and greatly speed up the progress of major projects.

"As long as he can really meet my requirements, I will agree to all five conditions, not to mention three." Jiang Chen said firmly.

"Okay, this is what you said, so let's have five conditions." Old Cheng suddenly smiled slyly.

Jiang Chen: “???”

Oh my god, I have never seen such a shameless person in my life.

Jiang Chen then realized that he had fallen into Cheng Lao's trap again.

"Let's get back to the point. The first condition is that this little girl has been trained by our military since she was a child."

"She can be your assistant, but only when our military needs her."

"You must not hesitate to let her come back to help us complete some scientific research projects."

After hearing this, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and then nodded readily.

This is also reasonable.

The country has spent so much effort to train her. She is like a "married daughter" of the military. How could she completely cut off contact with her family? (End of this chapter)
