Reborn in 2010, the AI in my mind is too powerful.
Chapter 248 The Sun Valley Summit
Wang Dachui has been working in construction in China since graduating from university. He has been a veteran carpenter for thirty years, having built railways in Africa and zoos and bunkers for the Middle Eastern gentry.
However, Chen Yiran's request was indeed outside his area of expertise. The main issue was that the wall requirements were too high; even without consulting the company's professionals, he knew they likely couldn't handle it and would probably need support from other units.
Stephen Bailey was more experienced; he roughly knew this was a special laboratory, but experience told him that the cost of building it could be unbelievably outrageous.
Although Chen Yiran shouldn't be short of money, he still had to make it clear: "Mr. Chen, do you need to build an ultra-high-specification shielded room? And vibration control? Although this field is relatively small, I can still find a few companies that can provide you with some solutions."
I need to ask you first, do you have any specific requirements regarding the parameters? Or are you simply going to do everything according to the current technological limits?
Chen Yiran's eyes lit up: "I just had this idea, but I haven't looked into it in detail yet. If there's a specialized company, that would be even better. Could you recommend one? Everything has to be the best; I have no budget limit."
Stephen Bailey nodded: "We will design according to your instructions, and work with your chosen partners to develop a plan to ensure that every aspect is done to the best of our ability."
Initially, we can't use a vertical shaft; the construction difficulty is too great. Moreover, this area is all basalt, which is very hard and has few cracks. Traditional blasting would easily damage the structure and is also inefficient. We can only use a drilling and fracturing machine to proceed slowly. We can drill horizontally, creating a downward slope.
Wang Dachui nodded: "For those special walls, if the requirements are very precise, I really can't guarantee that we can do them. We're not professionals in that area."
However, we have no problem with just digging holes and carrying out the foundation construction of the concrete structure. But the construction period may be very long, and high-standard concrete contains steel fibers to increase crack resistance.
While I'm not entirely sure what you're planning to do next, perhaps carbon fiber reinforced polymer concrete could be used? This type of concrete is mainly used in acid and alkali resistant flooring in chemical plants, submarine tunnel linings, and hospital MRI rooms.
Chen Yiran thought it was good and asked the key question: "How strong is it? Is it so powerful it can withstand a nuclear bomb? Although this is a special laboratory, we'll use the best we can get!"
Wang Dachui felt he was going to be rewarded when he got back, so he quickly promoted the product, saying, "No problem, epoxy resin-based polymer concrete uses pure quartz sand as aggregate, so the mix proportions can be optimized."
Our subsidiary company has strong technology in this area, and can achieve 80 to 100 MPa without fiber.
Adding 1% to 2% of carbon fiber short strands can push the compressive strength to an even more impressive level, which is what we call C100 grade in China. Its flexural strength is three times higher than that of ordinary concrete.
Because it is a composite material, its resistance to earthquake collapse is also very strong.
"If this is so good, then why did you recommend a different type of concrete for my villa before?"
"For your villa, we used ultra-high performance concrete, which contains fiber-reinforced toughening material. Microcracks can self-heal, and it is highly resistant to erosion and abrasion. Both materials are excellent, each with its own advantages."
"Okay, let's agree on this for now. Stephen, your firm will prepare a preliminary design plan, and you two can go over it together. There's really no need to rush this. Some of the facilities inside need to be customized, and we also need to see if they have any special requirements."
With this matter settled, Chen Yiran prepared to return to Silicon Valley.
It's not that I'm going back to work; I can basically manage all the company's projects very well on my own now.
I'm mainly going back to attend a party.
The beautiful women, of course, had no objections; they were all looking forward to it, except for Olsen, who was already financially secure.
The others were all thinking that a mother's status would depend on her son; having a child would guarantee them a comfortable life for the next few decades.
The strongest objection came from preserved eggs.
The puppies he had with Latte Mocha at home, apart from giving away a few, were all trained into guard dogs by K9 experts hired by Chen Yiran.
Three K9 experts have now been lured to live on the island, and these dogs have become part of Lanai Island's security system.
These dogs are all very well-behaved, and they even know that Pidan is their father.
So no matter how much Pidan made a fuss, the dogs didn't really care.
Several K9 trainers were very perceptive and knew that Chen Yiran was good to Pidan.
They simply let Pidan lead a pack of dogs around the streets every day, which had a bit of a gangster vibe to it.
So now that it's time to leave, Pidan grumbled for a long time, looking very aggrieved.
However, among Border Collies, Pipi is definitely on the dumber side. Just give him a ball and he'll have a blast playing with it, instantly forgetting all about his gang life on the island.
On July 15, Chen Yiran returned to his loyal Silicon Valley, but left two days later.
------------------------------------------
Blaine County, in south-central Idaho, is located in the Sawtooth Mountains.
In 1936, the Great Depression, which had just ended, further damaged the already fragile self-esteem of Americans.
Fortunately, Roosevelt was strong enough to give the American people some confidence, and more people began to unite around him to build up the United States.
William Everell Harriman, the son of the founder of Union Pacific Railroad, was brought into Roosevelt's government by a friend. He also admired Roosevelt, so he encouraged the company to start a major construction project.
As a second-generation rich kid, he felt that America was really a bit outdated and couldn't compare to the old money in Europe, especially when it came to vacations; he thought America was just a bunch of country bumpkins.
His favorite vacation spot has always been St. Moritz in Switzerland.
So he searched all over the United States and chose Sun Valley, which is also at an altitude of 1800 meters, to build an American version of St. Moritz.
Not only did they build their own railway here, but they also built a very stylish ski resort, which became the world's first ski resort to install an aerial cable car.
For decades, Sun Valley Resort has been a popular vacation spot for America's old money.
In 1983, the long-established family business, Allen Company, began hosting the Sun Valley Summit here.
Allen & Co. was a boutique investment bank founded in 1922 on Fifth Avenue in New York City, and their business operations were very complex.
It primarily provides investment and consulting services in the real estate, technology, media, and entertainment industries, and is also very influential in the professional sports industry.
They operate with great secrecy, have no public website, and do not grant interviews to well-known media outlets.
Despite its relatively unknown reputation, it wields considerable influence. It has a history of selling Columbia Pictures, served as an underwriter for the IPOs of many companies, including Google, and acted as an advisor in major acquisitions.
For nearly a century, it has been run by the founding family and is recognized as one of the most mysterious boutique investment firms in the United States.
And their core business is the Sun Valley Summit.
Thanks to their connections, Sun Valley's lineup is incredibly luxurious every year.
The kind of delegation Trump will send to China in 2026 is just a regular occurrence here, happening once a year.
Many stories have been born here. For example, Buffett and Gates first met here, and it was Gates' mother who organized the meeting.
Later, Disney's acquisition of ABC, the merger of AOL and Time Warner, and Google's acquisition of YouTube all originated from here.
Chen Yiran received an invitation back in 2011, and the other party arranged for Chase Bank to send over a rather exquisite wooden box invitation.
However, he was too busy at the time, and Pidan had just become a father, so Chen Yiran stayed home to play with the puppies and didn't go.
But this year, he's determined to go no matter what.
After the establishment of Aurora Group, he searched the market several times for people who could help with integration and management.
But he couldn't find one that suited his taste, so he changed his mind and decided to dig straight out of the apple.
The men Steve Jobs left behind may not have been particularly talented, but as commanders defending the city, they were perfectly capable of assisting him in achieving his goals.
This was Chen Yiran's last attempt, hoping to find someone he liked who could be recruited to lead the Aurora Group.
As the first Sun Valley Summit after officially emerging from the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, this year's summit was indeed a global event, attracting a large number of company bosses and executives, making for an exceptionally impressive lineup.
