Scholar's Advanced Technological System

1042 Anything Can Happen

There were some people who were furious with the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study’s research...

Which was Space-X and Johnson u0026 Johnson.

In the middle of last year, NASA gave them a considerable amount of money to research frozen dormancy technology. They only recently discovered that the X-0172 bacteria had the ability to protect cells. However, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study had already invented their frozen dormancy technology...

Silicon Valley headquarters.

Elon Musk was reading a newspaper in his hand when the muscles on his face twitched.

[New breakthrough in frozen dormancy technology, terminal illness treatment by traveling to the future!]

He thought that he had an advantage in this area of research, and could avoid direct competition with Star Sky Technology. After all, Space-X had a decade of accumulated research and development experience.

Who could have imagined that someone close to Lu Zhou had terminal cancer...

F*ck sake, if only Lu Zhou was the one who had the cancer!

However, no matter how much Elon cursed, there was no point.

Star Sky Technology had already mastered frozen dormancy technology. All they could now was to pick up the crumbs left by Professor Lu...

There was a knock on the door.

Musk answered and saw his secretary walking in.

“David Lawrence wants to make an appointment to meet you.”

Musk put down the newspaper and had a strange look on his face.

“Meet me? The son of the Lawrence family?”

His secretary nodded. “You know, we have been trying to receive funding for aerospace projects, but those banks aren’t optimistic about us. But now, he wants to meet with you.”

“He wants to meet me...” Musk said as he began to contemplate.

He obviously didn’t believe that David Lawrence was interested in his Space-X. After all, this had happened before.

But like his secretary said, Space-X needed money, and it needed a lot of money. In this day and age, money was the only thing that could make dreams come true, so this meeting could mean a huge opportunity...

Even though the other party might not be sincere.

He still had to give it a try.

After contemplating for a moment, Elon spoke.

“Tell him I will see him... When does he want to meet?”

Secretary: “This afternoon.”

Musk’s eyebrows suddenly twitched, but he took a deep breath and calmed down.

“... Get the jet ready, I’m flying to Boston this afternoon.”

The secretary nodded.

“Yes sir.”

After some flying, Elon finally arrived at the Boston Financial Group building.

Elon walked into the meeting room and looked at the man sitting quietly behind the conference table. He cleared his throat and was about to make some opening remarks, but the man spoke first.

“Welcome to Boston, Mr. Musk. Glad you accepted my invitation. Please sit down.”

Even though he didn’t sound sincere or enthusiastic, Elon still felt a little more comfortable.

Sitting in front of him was one of the leaders of the Boston Financial Group. He was one of the richest and most powerful people in the United States.

Even though Elon was the chairman and president of Space-X and Tesla, he only had a tenth of the wealth that the Boston Financial Group had.

That wasn’t an exaggeration.

In fact, that was a conservative estimate.

“I heard you wanted to talk to me about the Space-X aerospace program, so I came over,” Elon said. “People like you who are courageous and full of imagination are becoming rare.”

David Lawrence smiled lightly and continued, “Yes, I am interested in your space program. I believe that our future must be in the stars... But before discussing that, I would like to ask you an interesting question. I saw this question in the Boston Daily newspapers.”

“What’s the question?” Elon said with a smile. He looked at David and said, “If it interests you, it must be an interesting question.”

David Lawrence smiled and said, “If you can travel to the future, would you?”

Elon paused for a second. He obviously didn’t expect a question that wasn’t related to aerospace.

David realized that he didn’t phrase the question properly, so he said, ” Of course, you’ll remain as chairman of Space-X, and Space-X won’t go bankrupt in the next century.”

Elon thought about it for ten seconds and spoke.

“What’s the point of sending old antiques from the past to the future? Can we use 18th-century economic theory to solve the 21st-century debt crisis? Or let him teach us how to go to the moon?

“What about property inheritance rights, I don’t see an upside to this.

“Of course, this is looking at it with Space-X’s interest in mind.”

“... Makes sense.”

David nodded but didn’t give his own opinion.

If it were him, he probably wouldn’t want to travel into the future, even if he was guaranteed to wake up.

If everything went well, he would become the leader of the Lawrence family. Going to the future meant that his power and wealth weren’t guaranteed.

The only way to keep power in the family forever was education.

But...

For him personally, time-traveling was quite attractive.

This meant that he would be able to live longer in the future, and he could achieve things that weren’t achievable before.

However, he would have to weigh the risks...

David rubbed his hands on the chair armrest.

Suddenly, he spoke to Elon.

“How long will it take for you guys to solve frozen dormancy technology?”

Faced with this sudden question, Musk subconsciously hesitated for a second before he answered truthfully, “I don’t know... maybe five years, maybe longer... Frozen dormancy technology is just one of the projects we’re working on with Johnson u0026 Johnson Pharmaceuticals. It is not our focus. Our current business model focus is still concentrated on the large thrust spacecraft and life support devices—”

David interrupted him and said, “Then from now on, it will become your focus. I’ll invest a billion dollars to start.”

Elon held his breath.

A billion!

Even though Tesla was worth hundreds of billions, that was only in market capital; it wasn’t cash.

“I only have one request. I don’t care how much money I spend. The important thing is to ensure the safety of the technology. Can that be guaranteed?”

Elon hesitated and said, “Theoretically, yes... In fact, we already have some technology that ensures the safe operation of frozen dormancy, but we need time to research and develop.”

David smiled and said, “This is fine... I am not in a hurry.”

Musk: “Can I ask something?”

David: “Go ahead.”

Musk hesitated and asked, “Do you... plan on going to the future?”

“Not for now.”

David turned around and looked out the window. His back was turned to Elon.

He stared at his reflection in the windows, as well as the Boston skyline, before whispering to himself, “But who knows what could happen in the future?”
