Chapter 323: Life lasts only 30,000 days
Chen Lin, Lin Yun and their group returned to Hongshan Base according to the original plan.
At this time, Blue Starfish was still in the stage of raging ocean storms. Lin Yun turned on the monitoring equipment system and saw that apart from the white mist, the only thing left was a black screen.
“The ocean storm this time is too severe. Looking at the feedback data from the detection device on the system, the wind speed in some areas even exceeded 60 meters per second. This has exceeded the concept of level 17 wind. "
Lin Yun and Chen Lin were sitting in the minibus. Lin Yun looked at the tablet in front of him and spoke to Chen Lin. The only data he could see was the weather map provided by the satellite. , there are only a few data detected by ground equipment.
A large number of equipment previously set up were swept away and damaged by the strong wind, and black screens were the norm.
"How much investment do we have in Blue Starfish?"
"I'm not sure about the total investment. I estimate it should be around 10 billion. After all, the construction work of the offshore platform alone is expensive. There are quite a lot of various building materials and manpower. "
Lin Yun said, looking at the tablet for a while, as if she found some kind of news announcement, she pushed the tablet to Chen Lin's. before.
The tablet displayed - "Blue Sea Star suffered an unprecedented natural disaster, and Blue Sea Base suffered serious losses!"
Chen Lin conveniently clicked on the news announcement. The above is a few seconds of footage taken by the camera device. It is a scene of part of the offshore platform being blown away by the hurricane... Several gifs are past, and below is the satellite. Photographed weather maps and some predictions, storm levels and other miscellaneous things.
Chen Lin continued to scroll down a few times and saw the official reply in the announcement - "According to statistics, the direct economic loss of this ocean storm is 3.2 billion yuan, and the indirect loss is upwards of 40 billion yuan. , mainly concentrated in the related buildings and research facilities of Blue Star..."
"It's really a heavy loss."
Chen Lin stopped when he saw this and frowned. Lin Yundao: "After all, we have invested time and money in Blue Starfish, because an ocean storm will start all over again, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance by then."
"Yes."
Lin Yun nodded and said in agreement: "Originally, the association had reservations about whether to invest a lot of materials in the development of Blue Starfish. It is estimated that after this ocean storm incident, they will jump to the other side..."
“Actually, you don’t have to worry about this.”
Chen Lin said with a smile: “The association is not decided by one person or two people, it is a group, an organization. Whether or not to develop Blue Starfish will definitely not be decided by a small group of people who oppose it."
"I know, but I am still worried."
Lin Yun said worriedly. "This ocean storm destroyed almost 95% of our buildings in Blue Starfish, and even the buildings on the seabed were not spared. Billions of dollars of capital investment were wasted, and there will be opposition to continued development. If the sound is louder, it will inevitably cause us to scale down the development of Blue Starfish.”
"In that case, we have to rely on you people."
Chen Lin was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "You and the Blue Star development team need to analyze the development needs Sex - For example, if you make a report and submit it, explaining what we obtained from the Blue Starfish, the wreckage of the spacecraft sent up by the Leviathan creatures will be extremely helpful to our future technological development. ..."
"This is indeed necessary."
Lin Yun nodded, "If it doesn't work, I'm afraid I will have to ask my father for help."< br>
Chen Lin looked at Lin Yun in surprise. He was somewhat unbelievable that such words would come out of Lin Yun's mouth - after all, this woman always gave people the impression of being independent, and she never relied on him. His father does things.
Lin Yun seemed to realize this, raised his head and showed a bright smile towards Chen Lin: "Scientific research always needs some support. Only at this time did I realize that my own strength is weak... In fact, the words of my father, General Lin, may not be as practical as those of you." Chen Lin also smiled slightly when he heard this, and then heard Lin Yun say: "If the situation is not right, you must. You have to intervene! The research on Blue Sea Star cannot be interrupted. We have overcome many difficulties in the research on pioneer technology. If we can completely absorb the technology trees and technological power of the pioneers, it will be almost impossible to improve our technology. It’s timeless!”
“Technology, including weapons and equipment, covers a lot of areas.”
“I believe that the association will eventually do it. "
Chen Lin did not directly agree to Lin Yun's request, nor did he express his rejection clearly. He just responded lightly. He pushed the tablet in front of Lin Yun and said: " The next step for the association is to send more talents here.”
"I may have to look for Ding Yi next."
Lin Yun asked confusedly why he was looking for Ding Yi. Chen Lin drew a circle in the air with his left hand and said with a smile: " Of course, it is to study the matter about the portal."
"Even if you can't open the portal independently, you can still find a way to open multiple portals."
"You can. Aren't you worried that you will lose your job if Professor Ding really figures out how to open the portal? "
Chen Lin's response to Lin Yun's sharp topic was very indifferent.
"Do you know where I was six months ago? I was a hardworking office worker in a certain office building!"
"I'm said to be an office worker, a white-collar worker, but in fact I don't earn enough money to spend."
“Salary is just average for ordinary people. A few thousand yuan is not enough for anything in Shanhai City. When I rent a house, it costs me more than 2,000 yuan a month, and my food costs more than a thousand yuan a month. As a man, I rarely buy clothes, as long as they are enough to wear. My monthly expenses are relatively small, but I still have to give my parents 2,000 a month, right? I have a little girl after all, so She got some pocket money and so on..."
Chen Lin said with a smile: "After counting all the miscellaneous things, I was also a standard moonlight tribe at that time."
" Now that the association has developed a portal to the Origin Star, it is also a good thing for me.”
"I haven't lost my ability. The Origin Star is such a good place, and the benefits and benefits are far better than those here on Earth. At the worst, I will be transferred to the other side to work as a small translator. If not, I can be a translator or something like that. Yes, life is much better than before."
Lin Yun was stunned for a few seconds, and then she smiled softly: "You are really thoughtful."
"There are thirty thousand days in this world, and life and death only last a moment."
Chen Lin smiled and said to Lin Yun: "I just want to live my life well and live in a down-to-earth manner. Nothing else. Everything is the icing on the cake, I am happy if it is more, and I will not regret it if it is less."
"Only people like me are willing to do this."
He suddenly changed the topic and said to Lin Yun: "Try trying it with someone else. If you really have the ability like me, I am afraid that you will not choose to report to the association at all, but will try every means to do it alone." Eat this secret."
Lin Yun looked at Chen Lin with a smile, feeling that what he said was absolutely true - a man like him would be impossible to find even in a million.
She just hoped that the association would not betray his trust in the future.
