Chapter 19 The weight of life and death is only between those 21 grams
The top floor of the Ankylosaurus International, a platform on the leeward side of the helicopter tarmac below.
Qian Lai put the "toy gun" that had already been equipped with many components in his hand, and the barrel had become very long, and solemnly put it back into the metal box brought by Chu Feiyue. Closing the lid of the box, Qian Lai raised his head and glanced deeply at Chu Feiyue, who had been standing aside as an explanation.
"Chu Feiyue, you have given me another big problem."
"Great, isn't it?" Chu Feiyue leaned against the platform on the tarmac, holding her long hair that was too long and fluttering everywhere when the wind blew, and said to Qian with a smile.
"It's because it's so good, it's a big problem."
Qian Lai picked up the box on the ground and pointed to the elevator with the door open.
If it weren't for Chu Feiyue proposing this new thing, it must only be known to Qian Lai, and Qian Lai fully believed that Chu Feiyue would not be unfavorable to him, so they would not come to this building, unless the stock market plummeted, no one would have come to blow the wind on the top floor of the building, which was almost six or seven magnitudes. Now that the first user experience of the product is complete, there is no reason for them to suffer in a place where people can freeze to death even in the summer.
Walking into the elevator that only company executives can use, Qian Lai looked down at the silver-white box in his hand, and the expression on his face was very complicated.
Ankylosaurus International is a behemoth, and the field it is involved in will naturally not be limited to civilian use. In fact, ordinary private enterprises cannot afford to buy the heavy machinery and equipment manufactured by Jialong International, and state-owned enterprises and military industrial units are their main customers in this regard.
The momentum of money is still there, and Ankylosaurus International has never stopped expanding. With more contact with military enterprises, the product projects of Jialong International naturally spread to the past. The production qualification of military products has been done by Jialong International for I don't know how many years.
Although Ankylosaurus International has been involved in the processing of parts for military products, and the assembly and final commissioning of products are all carried out by other enterprises affiliated to the military, this does not mean that Ankylosaurus International does not have the ability to produce weapons. Not to mention just guns and artillery, even if it is a missile, with the hard power of Ankylosaurus International, as long as you want to do it, how can you not do it. The reason why I haven't touched this part has been because I don't want to provoke the country's taboo is only one aspect, even if it is produced, there will be no orders, which is the main reason.
The Celestial Empire's control of weapons is very strict, which is completely different from those so-called developed Western countries where residents do not feel safe if they do not have a few guns at home. In the Celestial Empire, only state agencies were qualified to legally possess thermal weapons, and the manufacture of thermal weapons was also the responsibility of the military-industrial state-owned enterprises, and from the very beginning, this market was not open to private enterprises. Even if Ankylosaurus International has the ability to create thermal weapons... Actually, it's really not that hard... However, after all, Ankylosaurus International is not specialized in the manufacture of thermal weapons, and even if it is made, the performance of the weapons made by Ankylosaurus International is not as good as that of weapons made by state-owned manufacturers. The army has always been a typical example of not bad money, as long as the quality is good and the price is negotiable. The performance is not as good as others, no matter how cost-effective you are, the army will not look at you squarely. And the point is, if you make weapons, the army will not look at you, who will look at you?
This is the reason why Ankylosaurus International obviously has this ability and qualification, but it has never engaged in weapon production - it can't do it well, and it doesn't make money!
But now...
Qian Lai lowered his head, looked at the silver-white box he was carrying, and felt the muscles of his arm ache for a while.
The invention brought by Chu Feiyue directly overturned the definition of the word "gun" in the dictionary. There is no need for bullets, and there is no other consumption, as long as the zuò is successful, it can be fired indefinitely, and the bullets will have different properties according to the addition of components, such a gun, is it really still a gun?
Qian Lai didn't want to discuss this issue, but Qian Lai knew very well that once this product was really popularized, the "firearms" that had been on the earth for hundreds of years would definitely withdraw from the stage of history.
However, the economic flow generated by the trade of firearms in the world every year is more than 10 billion? To what extent are the interests intertwined?
If this kind of "gun" that does not require bullets is popularized, it will be equivalent to ruining the jobs of people who trade in firearms all over the world. The consequences of this are too pale and powerless to describe in two words, terrible.
Not to mention Ankylosaurus International, no country in the world dares to do this. It's like going to stab a giant killer bee's hive naked, and you're going to die...
"Chu Feiyue, your gun, there are restrictions on the use of this gun, right?" Qian Lai suddenly raised his head and said in a somewhat strange tone.
Hearing the voice, Chu Feiyue, who was looking at the floor count board that was jumping down one by one in a daze, suddenly came back to her senses, turned her head, and blinked her eyes with some confusion.
"Huh?"
"I said, your gun must have a limit on its use, right?"
"No... I set up the temperature sensing, as long as I rub the gun handle, anyone can shoot. ”
"Nope! I said, it must have a limit, you know what I mean? ”
Qian Lai looked at Chu Feiyue sternly, and at the same time, with the index finger of his free hand, he clicked on the shell of the metal box containing the toy gun, and said in a tone that would never allow Chu Feiyue to refuse.
"I must admit, Chu Feiyue, you have given me a lot of surprises. But even if you come up with miniature nuclear power, I just think you're pretty good. But this time, this, what you brought me, was horror. ”
"There's a saying, I'm sure you've heard of it, but I'm going to say it anyway."
"The one who is half a step ahead of others is a genius. Those who are one step ahead of others are crazy. And you, you dump them so much that you can't even see your back, you say, what will they take you for? ”
"The 'gun' thing is too tricky. Not to mention miniature nuclear fission, even if you make controlled nuclear fusion, you are a hero for the benefit of mankind. Those people... I think you know who I'm talking about... They will have ill will towards you as a person, but will definitely respect your inventions as much as they respect their beliefs. But guns are different, these are weapons, things that kill people. You've made this so advanced, so good, and its impact, have you figured it out? ”
Under Qian Lai's forced gaze, Chu Feiyue's body gradually became cold. When the complacency that envelops this question is peeled back layer by layer, Chu Feiyue must face the consequences of his invention. When Mikhail Kalashnikov, the father of AK, finished drawing the first blueprint of the gun family, he could not have imagined that his invention would take millions of human lives in the future. However, Chu Feiyue is now facing this problem.
is also a gun, obviously, the gun invented by Chu Feiyue has a performance that completely surpasses all the guns that have appeared now. This can be seen even by money who is not very familiar with firearms. If this gun is popularized one day, it will quickly replace the current gun with the momentum of a prairie fire, and become a treasure in the hands of all who need it. At that time, Chu Feiyue will also have to bear the sin of all the murderers who used this gun to deprive others of their lives. This curse and resentment gathered by all the dead, is Chu Feiyue really ready to bear it?
Obviously, he hasn't...
The gun will never bring technological progress, and no one will ever thank Chu Feiyue for inventing this gun. To create such a thing, for Chu Feiyue, the meaning is only to cope with the task of money to explain and verify his ideas. In addition, this invention will not bring Chu Feiyue any honor and sense of achievement, but will make him bear endless sins.
"Weapons are stored for protection, not for conquest. Therefore, it is necessary to put the reins on the wild horse and make it docile. ”
"It's the same with your gun, it's too strong, too strong it shouldn't have been. But since it has already appeared, to destroy it is not only disrespectful to you, but also to this invention. Putting restrictions on it, making it docile, refreshing, but no longer dangerous, is the best option. What do you think of that? ”
Qian Lai didn't want to be the enemy of the world's arms dealers because of this invention, but he couldn't bear to see this weapon so innovative and even epoch-making being destroyed in this way. Weakening this gun and turning it from a murder weapon codenamed "toy gun" into a real toy gun, it is Qian Lai to propose to Chu Feiyue.
Does Chu Feiyue have any reasons to disagree?
Completely, no.
Taking over the metal box containing the toy gun from Qian Lai's hand, Chu Feiyue bit her lip, and used her fingernails to buckle the delicate patterns on the handle of the box little by little, and was silent for a long time.
Obviously I'm here to offer treasure! Obviously here to show off! Why is it like this, why!
Why before, I never realized the problem...
Really, really, it's terrible.
When Chu Feiyue blamed herself for this, Qian Lai was in a good mood because she got rid of a heavy burden. Now that everything that needs to be said has been said, there is no need to keep the elevator as closed as it is now.
Qian Lai opened the elevator door and walked out first. After turning his head, he found that the big metal box was missing from Chu Feiyue's hand.
As if it appeared inexplicably, the box disappeared inexplicably.
Although Qian Lai noticed the strangeness of the box, he also gave up asking this question when he thought that Chu Feiyue's whole person was mysterious—you can see that the inventions he took out were getting more and more terrifying, and ordinary people engaged in scientific research might be so prolific—so he also gave up asking this question.
Instead, go and ask another question.
"Now, Chu Feiyue, what do you think about teleportation?"
