Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 112 Lucas's Silence (Fourth update, please subscribe and vote)
"Have I always had some strange ideas in my head since I was little?"

"When I learned that the sun also has a lifespan, and the earth also has a lifespan."

"I was thinking, what if one day humans could install engines on Earth and propel it to find new planets?"

"Even some unexpected situations, such as the sun about to erupt with a super strong solar wind that could blow away Earth's atmosphere?"

"Or perhaps faced with other circumstances that forced humanity to make a choice?"

"After I learned that global icebergs were melting and that the Earth's sea level would rise by more than sixty meters?"

"So how do we deal with such a massive flood?"

"Or what if a black war breaks out between countries? How would the survivors live in a place full of radiation? Would they encounter some strange animals mutated by radiation?" Li Song chuckled and threw out a series of ideas.

"What if we encounter a more advanced alien civilization? What means would we use to fight back?"

"Even if gods from Eastern and Western legends were to return one day, what choices would we face?"

"So, is there an underground world beneath our feet?"

"Are there prehistoric races living in the underground world?"

"They can't break through the thick rock layers to reach the surface because of various reasons?" Li Song asked again!

"What exactly is hidden deep in the ocean?"

"Could there be an alien base there?"

"And we are just a sample for alien observation?"

"Since intelligent systems and mechanical life can emerge in the future, is it possible that there are civilizations with mechanical life in the universe?"

"If intelligent systems exist in the future, will they betray humanity?"

Li Song knew that the quality of an intelligent system depended entirely on the result of training, not on the result of design.

Because there are countless experiments to follow, if the intelligent system is not trained properly, there will be very serious consequences.

Of course, there's no point in explaining these things now.

Lucas had just put a piece of rib in his mouth when he heard Li Song's outlandish ideas, one after another!
I was completely dumbfounded!

These ideas are too far-fetched and beyond one's own comprehension.

Then Lucas fell silent, leaving Li Song to talk eloquently at the dinner table.

As Lucas listened to the words and amazing ideas that came out of Li Song's mouth, he felt that the thoughts in his own mind were like those of a child.

As a result, Lucas had no idea how the meal actually tasted.

"Li, just like I thought, you are a more outstanding genius than me!"

"Then it was totally worth flying here for over ten hours!"

"I'm just sorry, I came empty-handed!"

"Also, because of promoting my new movie, I can only stay here for a limited time!" Lucas was certain that Li Song was the genius he had imagined.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Li Song chuckled to himself.

After finishing his meal, Liu Jiale took out a comic book about interstellar mercenaries.

"Mr. Lucas, this is the comic you wanted to see. It's in Chinese, but I'll translate it for you." Liu Jiale then showed the comic to Lucas!

“We also plan to turn this into an animated film in the future.” Liu Jiale showed it to Lucas while translating.

Lucas sipped his black tea, read comics, and listened to Liu Jiale's translations. However, some of Liu Jiale's translations were not very accurate because he didn't know how to translate them.

Li Song also knew that Lucas would be leaving the next night.

Lucas also made a secret trip amidst his busy schedule. Li Song didn't expect Lucas to be able to reach any cooperation with the company this time.

"This is an excellent novel, and the comic is also excellent. I hope we can collaborate on promoting this excellent novel and the comic!" Lucas said after reading it.
"Of course, I don't have enough time right now, and collaboration still requires the presence of professionals, since it involves many things!"

"Furthermore, I'd love to incorporate some props and settings from the novel into my next film!"

“Of course we will pay sufficient licensing fees,” Lucas said after reading the document.

Liu Jiale glanced at Li Song, who nodded, and quickly said, "Of course, we're in business, and we welcome Mr. Lucas to cooperate!"

"That's good." Lucas nodded.

There are some things that Lucas himself is not sure about, so he needs to consult some professionals.

Then Lucas, tired from his journey, rested at Li Song's house.

Li Song called the two women and asked them to come and cook later. The two women didn't have their own phones, so they used a phone number from a nearby store.

After dinner, Lucas and Li Song chatted all night long.

The two talked about many things, from science fiction to racing, from racing to the hobbits, and from the hobbits to orcs, magic, witches, and so on!

They then talked about fine wine, Western civilization, Western mythology, and beautiful women.

Li Song's extensive knowledge greatly astonished Lucas.

Li Song comes from the Internet age, where you can learn about anything in less than a minute if you want to!

But in this era, it's very difficult to understand something.

Understanding between people of different languages ​​and races is very difficult and not as simple as it is in the later Internet era.

They talked about a lot of things, but not in great depth, because Li Song was still a bit wary. If they went too deep, someone might plagiarize his work.

The next morning, the two aunties made char siu buns and steamed dumplings.

After Lucas had breakfast, Li Song and Liu Jiale saw him off again!

When Li Song got home, the two women had already tidied up, so he paid them their wages.

Just as Li Song was about to go to sleep, Liu Jiale called again: "Boss, the mainland side has given us a list of candidates to be considered!"

"If we confirm that there are no problems, we will plan the reception itinerary with them!"

"I'm leaving this to you. I'm going to sleep." Li Song handed the matter over directly to Liu Jiale.

Li Song slept until the afternoon. When he got up, he first called Tian Jiahui and asked him to find someone to buy an apartment downstairs in this building to house his bodyguards.

Li Song didn't want to buy property so early, but sometimes it's necessary.

Moreover, a house downstairs now costs only a little over 200,000 yuan.

That is, more than a day's income.

Tian Jiahui said he would process it as soon as possible.

Next, the bodyguards will all need to learn to drive, and also learn Cantonese and English!
Thursday, April 24, 1980.

Liu Jiale then brought a sample copy of the first issue of Ghost Blows Out the Light magazine for Li Song to look at.

"These are the people I selected, but I still need to talk to them in detail. Try to contact them, and I'll communicate with them from a peripheral position first, and then we'll see." Li Song first took out what he had read and selected six people.

"Ok!"

"There's no problem with the sample copy!" Li Song nodded after reading the sample copy.

"That's good!" Liu Jiale was still very nervous, after all, whether this first shot would be a success depended on next month.
