With a money-eating behemoth like Ms. Heita at home, her pocket money is almost dwarfed by hers.
Really, can’t you plan your scientific research expenses properly?
If this continues, she won't be able to support the basic operation of the space station with just her pocket money!
"readily!"
On the contrary, Topa took the card from Esta very smoothly. As she swiped it lightly in the air, the originally high debt began to drop at a very fast speed until it was completely zero.
"Kevin, if I'm not mistaken, how many zeros are there after that?"
Not far away, Padu fiddled with her fingers blankly, but found that she seemed a little stupid and couldn't count clearly no matter how hard she counted.
After all, even cats only have ten fingers!
"No more, no less...thirteen." Kevin closed his eyes slightly and spoke softly.
Having so many assets and being able to spend so many assets at will are two completely different concepts.
Even if you tell him now that the Interstellar Peace Company is actually run by this kid's family, Kevin won't feel it's strange.
Facts have proved that if you are not born with some things, you will probably never have them again in this life - it is said that heroes are made by the times, but if there is no such thing as the times, how can you become that "hero"?
Unless one has the ability to break through worldly barriers, most people will not be able to jump out of their original circle... Most of the time, this has nothing to do with personal factors.
Just like Kevin himself, if he could live in an ordinary world, he would probably never choose to show himself too much, right?
"This is too scary... To earn that much money, based on our current salary, it will probably take... more than two million years??!"
No, this is too scary, huh?!
The gap between her little Padua and others is so huge!
Sure enough, just working hard is not enough. But this is only temporary. Little Padu will definitely climb higher, higher...higher in the future!
"Why, it's nothing. It's just some pocket money for Miss Estelle."
After solving the debt problem, Topa, in a happy mood, waved his hand and sold out the other party: "If not, how could the 'company' be willing to lend such a high debt to Ms. Heita?"
"To be honest, before Miss Esta took charge of the space station, Ms. Heita's reputation in the 'company' was never very good."
Miss Topa sighed and shook her head, saying, "It's mainly because Ms. Heita's research is all based on her interests. If she loses interest in a research project in an instant, no matter how much investment she has made in the early stage, she will not hesitate to postpone it indefinitely."
"Tell me, how can the sponsors tolerate such a situation? And to be honest, most of the people in the 'Genius Club' actually have this problem."
"I can only say that geniuses' brain circuits are completely different from those of ordinary people."
If those geniuses could focus all their energy on serious scientific research, I wouldn't dare to say how much more they could achieve, but at least it would be no problem for the entire universe's technology to leap forward by a few hundred years.
Unfortunately, most of them are not interested in this, and no one can command them.
In fact, for most people, it can be considered a blessing that these geniuses are willing to stay at home and tinker with their own things instead of going out to become evil scientists.
After all, even on the list of the "Genius Club", there are wanted criminals who have killed countless people, right?
"Okay, let's not discuss these issues. After all, no matter what, we can't really control those guys who almost no one can control."
Topa shook his head, and then gave Esta a malicious smile: "Well, Miss Esta, the debt problem between the 'company' and Ms. Heita has been solved. Then the next thing is the investment issue of your space station project."
"With Miss Esta as the stationmaster, I believe there will be absolutely no problem with the basic operation of the space station. But if I remember correctly, the 'company' has invested a lot in Ms. Heita's recent new project, but I haven't seen any feedback yet."
"If I remember correctly, the project was called something like... 'Simulated Universe'?"
Investors are responsible for paying the money, and after scientists have achieved certain research results, they should naturally demonstrate their value to the investors, right?
But in fact, it is not difficult to see from the performance just now that it is completely unrealistic to ask a person like Ms. Heita to write a research report honestly. The most difficult thing is that she usually conducts research alone, and at most cooperates with other geniuses in the club... Even if she wants to send other staff members to write reports, they are likely to be completely unable to understand the research of these geniuses.
However, the "company" is completely unable to give up the epoch-making technological products that the Black Tower may bring to them at any time... After all, not all of those geniuses will cooperate with them in depth for money.
The scientists conducting research and development are like bosses, while the investors still have to work hard to inspect the results. This is probably something that is difficult for most people to imagine.
But as Kevin said before - if you want equal communication and make the contract credible, the best way is to make sure the person himself has the corresponding execution ability.
What is obvious is that the true appearance of the lady in the black tower is definitely not as harmless as she appears to be.
Chapter 226: Who among you is overweight?
"'Simulated Universe'...Ms. Heita seems to have been staying in her room to study these things recently, but she never reveals her research to ordinary staff. And, Miss Topa may not believe it, but this was the first time I saw Ms. Heita online this month."
Faced with Topa's questioning, Estelle could only smile bitterly and tell the truth.
Obviously, the entire space station was named after Black Tower, and even though the space station was funded and built by a "company", in name and in fact, Black Tower was the real owner of the space station.
But the reality is - this guy comes online no more than three times a month in the space station... Although there are spare dolls of Ms. Black Tower in almost every department of the space station, they are really just decorations.
Even when Ester put the report that she had worked hard on for a month in front of him, Heita didn't even bother to take a second look, saying that she was very confident in the space station being managed by Ester... How could she be confident? Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she just didn't bother to take care of it!
The huge space station is almost full of objects that Ms. Heita completely lost interest in halfway through her research, and these things are also the topics that the staff in the space station will have to study for most of their lives.
Apart from other factors, isn't this, in a way, the Black Tower lady's personal locker and trash can? It's even fully automatic!
Even though Ester didn't say a word, just the fact that she stood there and stared at them was enough for everyone to feel the resentment as deep as the ocean.
"Ahem. Well, Miss Estelle, I know your difficulties. After all, Ms. Black Tower is such a person. Of course, this is also her charm. Otherwise, how could there be so many people like you willing to follow her?"
Seeing that something was not right, Topa hurriedly calmed the other person down, and then asked in a roundabout way: "But as the actual manager of the space station, you should know where the experimental site of the 'simulated universe' is, right? Since Ms. Heita herself attaches so much importance to this scientific research, I believe that as long as we wait for her to go there, we can catch her... Well, we met her."
"Of course I understand this, but it is true... Well, the experimental site of the 'Simulated Universe' happens to be in Ms. Heita's office. There are usually no one else there to disturb us. We can just go and knock on the door."
Esther, who was about to say something but stopped herself, successfully suppressed the words she wanted to complain about. After all, for most people, a leader who is willing to not care about anything is already the best leader in the world.
Moreover, for Esta, if Ms. Black Tower had not taken her away from the family, she might still be under the guidance of a bunch of relatives, doing things that they think are very useful to her... Not only is there no freedom in such a life, but even the future can be foreseen at a glance.
It was for this reason that, in order not to return to that circle without freedom and full of hypocrisy, Ester worked so hard to maintain the safety of the entire space station - in her opinion, even if most of the staff members did not know how to negotiate, they were much better than those guys who thought they were above all else in terms of etiquette.
"Then, please lead the way, Miss Estella."
Topa bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation. Then, with the leadership of the stationmaster, Esta, the few of them could move freely in this huge space station.
In the not-so-narrow passages and halls, researchers can be seen everywhere, but without exception, they will greet the stationmaster Esta in a friendly manner when they pass by. Their friendly expressions are not fake at all, which is enough to prove that this girl is a good stationmaster in every aspect.
Besides, Kevin could clearly see that Estelle's actual age was not that old, and was almost the same as Topa who was beside him.
Even if we ignore her incredible family background, she is definitely a very pretty girl, not to mention...she is also working hard enough?
Then she turned her head to look at her two children - Padua had been looking around all the way, and sometimes she could not help but sigh in a low voice at some new and strange objects she had never seen before.
In fact, this was enough to make Kevin feel at ease. If he turned his head and looked at Little Ellie on the other side, he would find that... this guy was actually whistling at the female staff member not far away? !
boom--!
After a loud noise that echoed all around, the two continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened. It was as if the noise just now was just an illusion?
But what was visible to the naked eye was that of the two people walking one behind the other, little Aili in front had a big, bright bulge on her head.
But then again, leaving aside the inevitable worry of Alysia, the size of this space station is somewhat unexpected - in terms of size alone, it almost does not belong to any of the former Fire Moth bases, and it is even bigger than that.
The group walked for about ten minutes before finally arriving at the gate of a certain area. Slightly different from the previous areas, this long corridor only had one room, which was enough to show how lonely the lady in the black tower was.
Just as Esta was about to ring the doorbell, the tightly closed door was opened first. The black tower puppet that appeared behind the door waved its hands nonchalantly and said, "There's no need to press it. It was designed to be a decoration. Even if you press it a hundred times from outside, the people inside won't be able to hear it."
Estelle: “…”
So, is the ownership of the space station for this kind of thing? Has Ms. Heita ever thought about what she would do if someone came to her with an urgent matter one day?
But no matter what she thought, everyone had no choice but to follow her into the room. But at the moment when the door at the back closed, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the room -
Ring ring ring——!
"What's going on? What...what happened?!"
The timid Padu subconsciously shrank behind Kevin, but saw that the black tower puppet in the front not only did not show any surprise, but scratched its head in confusion.
"That's weird. I remember that this alarm system should only be triggered when a super-sized unit enters the room. Is there something wrong with it...?"
"Who of you... is overweight?"
Chapter 227: Is this the person you found?
From a subjective point of view, Heita was actually unwilling to believe that there would be any mistakes in her equipment - after all, she could accomplish such a simple thing with just a flick of her finger... Have you ever seen anyone light a fire and set their head on fire?
But when she turned her head and looked at the people who had just walked into the door, it was obvious that none of them looked like the kind of people who could trigger the alarm system - because if their size wanted to reach the alarm line she had set, they would at least have to be able to make a big hole in the ground with one kick, right?
Strange, it's really strange...
"Um, Ms. Black Tower...?" After a few seconds, Topa couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently waved it in front of the other party.
Because in the eyes of everyone, Heita had been staring at their lower bodies since the alarm sounded. His eyes were so strange, and it was not a good sign.
After all, if you are not careful and let this genius who does research purely out of interest become interested in you... then you'll just have to wish you good luck.
"Well... forget it! It's too troublesome, I don't want to think about it anymore!"
After staring at the others for a few seconds with fierce yet cute eyes, Heita suddenly turned her head back. Then she snapped her fingers lightly, and the original urgent alarm sound disappeared instantly as if it had never sounded.
"So, the purpose of the 'company' this time is to test my 'simulated universe', right?"
Even when facing his largest investor, Heita was not polite when speaking -
"To be honest, I really don't like outsiders to comment on my research. After all, even if all the data is placed in front of you, what can you understand?"
"Besides, I created the simulated universe to study the principles of the real universe, not to create a tool for the rich to enjoy. If you plan to sell it for a lot of money, forget it. After all, even if I agree, others will not agree."
This so-called "simulated universe" is not only contributed by Heita alone, but also by three other scholars from the "Genius Club"... From this point, it is not difficult to see how high the true value of the "simulated universe" is.
After all, any one of these four is more than qualified to be the company's chief scientist.
"Don't be so absolute, Ms. Heita. If everyone in the "Company" was really so superficial, then it wouldn't really exist in the first place."
Because the original reason for the establishment of the Interstellar Peace Corporation was the founder's feat of "building a wall" for the universe in order to follow the Amber King.
Even though in the course of tens of millions of years of development, many people joined the "company" for purposes other than their original intentions...but no one can deny that it is indeed a faction that firmly follows the "preservation" side, just like the Xianzhou Alliance.
After laying a little foundation for his words, Topa continued, "So, as long as Ms. Black Tower can show its corresponding value in other places, I will also approve your proposal without hesitation, and it is not impossible to even add some experimental funds?"
It should be said that Topa's negotiation skills are really good. He persuaded the originally unhappy Black Tower with just a few words. Although the other party still did not give any good feedback, at least he had begun to tacitly agree.
"Of course my simulated universe is more than a hundred times stronger than those incomprehensible virtual realities... But there is one thing I still want to make clear in advance. Even in this simulated universe, not everyone can attract those 'Star Gods'."
The original intention of the Black Tower to build this complex instrument was to try to explore the field that was completely unknown to mortals - the "Star God".
But just like in reality there are very few destiny travelers who can attract their attention, even if you are the only living person in the virtual universe, those virtual gods may not necessarily be interested in you.
This is really true - even if you were the only man left in the world, she would never be interested in you.
"The experimental subject who was in charge of the test previously... ahem, his friend is not here. So if you want to conduct on-site observation, you'll have to find someone to do it yourself."
Then, Heita looked at Kevin and asked mercilessly: "So, is this the person you found?"
Heita's idea was simple. Since she had no memory of him at all, it meant that he was not worth remembering. She would not waste her energy on unimportant things.
If you want her to change her attitude, that's fine too - as long as you can show her the corresponding value, or something that really interests her, then there's absolutely no problem in having her beg you.
Kevin didn't really react much when he heard Heita's accusation. It was not until he turned his head slightly and found that Topa was also looking at him that he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"That was your idea from the beginning, wasn't it?"
Maybe the other party did start paying attention to him after his pet showed some performance. But there is no doubt that after learning about his general combat capabilities and the value he can show, the other party has probably made up his mind to do so.
After all, where can you find such a good ready-made tester?
"Ahem... Don't be so absolute, Mr. Kevin. After all, I'm just an ordinary office worker, and I don't have any strong combat capabilities. Of course, the effect of entering the 'simulated universe' will not be as good as yours."
"Besides, aren't we originally just trying to verify your strength? Now we can do it together with the test of the 'simulated universe', saving time and achieving the best of both worlds. It will also allow you, Mr. Kevin, to fully demonstrate yourself without getting hurt... Where else can we find such a good opportunity?"
Topa's words were so reasonable and well-founded that if Kevin had not been one of the people who entered to take the test, he would probably have applauded her.
"Now that everything has been decided, don't waste my precious time. Come quickly."
Before Kevin could respond, Heita walked to the deepest part of the room and stood on the rather strange operating table.
