Chapter 217 Time Flows Like Water
A few hours later, Rong Yuan was standing in the presidential suite of a star-rated hotel on Shuiyue Island. He had just finished a shower, and his hair was still wet with water vapor. He had a white towel draped around his neck and was wearing a set of snow-white pajamas. The dining table was filled with small but extremely exquisite meals. The waiter opened the lids on the plates one by one and put them away, then opened a bottle of red wine for him. After bowing and saying goodbye, he closed the door and left.
As for why Rong Yuan's environment suddenly became like this, it was all Noah's doing. As soon as Rong Yuan got off the plane and appeared in the public camera, he was locked by the ubiquitous surveillance of the intelligent brain and his identity was confirmed at the fastest speed. After getting in touch, within half an hour, Noah had already issued him an ID card, passport, driver's license, credit card and other certification documents in the name of "Gu Yuan", and they were all so authentic that they could cope with any inspection by the relevant departments, and there was absolutely no problem with staying in a hotel and buying air tickets.
Then, while Noah was shouting and complaining about the huge change in Rong Yuan's appearance, he was also accusing No. 2 of not fulfilling his responsibilities. Rong Yuan wanted to speak several times but couldn't find a chance. He just listened to Noah talking a lot like frying beans. Without waiting for Rong Yuan to object, he booked the best hotel nearby for him, and bought him clothes, shoes, mobile phones and other necessities online. When Rong Yuan arrived at the hotel, all these things were delivered. The front desk manager watched him sign for a bunch of express deliveries at their door with a twitching mouth. He was about to step forward to stop him, but Rong Yuan stuffed a bunch of things into his hands and said that he wanted to stay in the hotel.
Manager: ╮（╯▽╰）╭
What else could the manager do? The customer is God. So he quickly put on a brilliant smile and called another waiter to help Rong Yuan move the packages to the reserved suite.
During this whole process, the money spent was not the ill-gotten gains that Noah had obtained by using its magical powers on the Internet. It was Rong Yuan's own money - the dividends from Yuanyang Company that had been in his name for four years had not been touched because of Rong Yuan's departure, and had long accumulated to an astronomical figure. And Noah thought that it was not the kind of idiot who would not act without orders. Since it proved the reality that "the more money you deposit in the bank, the less money you have", the money in Rong Yuan's account was used by it for investment and stock trading. In front of the intelligent computer, all the legendary stock gods have to kneel.
Then Rong Yuan discovered that, quietly, he had become the richest man in the world.
——It doesn’t feel real at all, right?
Fortunately, Noah still has some sense of low profile, so except for the card for company dividends and the bank card that Sugar Country uses to pay his salary, the rest of his money is basically scattered in more than one hundred different accounts around the world. This time he only used an account in a local bank on Sun Moon Island. The money spent - Noah said domineeringly - is just drizzle, spend it as you like, spend as much as you want, we have plenty of money!
Rong Yuan said expressionlessly: "Do you miss the little dark room recently?"
Noah, who was almost bubbling with excitement, immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Rong Yuan did not pursue luxury, but if there were good conditions, no one would insist on sleeping on the overpass and eating dry food. He did not think that Noah's behavior of accumulating wealth was bad. In fact, if there was no "Book of Merits", he would have worked towards this goal in his life. Now he had achieved his life goal 20 years ahead of schedule. But Noah was obviously too proud and too strong, so Rong Yuan naturally had to give him a little knock.
In fact, Rong Yuan was very happy to get in touch with Noah, because it was still alive and kicking, which meant that Xiao A was also alive, so there should be no mistakes on the part of the research institute. It seemed that the sudden disappearance of all the exchange items was not because they were recovered by the Merit Book, but because they were excluded from the mysterious space to prevent him from using the exchange items to resist the thunder.
When he was on the island, he had occasionally worried that if Xiao A, who was a stand-in in the research institute, suddenly disappeared, it would be a big deal. However, he thought again that before he died or the contract was terminated, his identity as a contractor would not change because of a thunderbolt, and the rules of the heavenly punishment system did not have any additional conditions other than thunderbolt. If the "Book of Merit" punished him twice for one crime, and took back all the goods he exchanged in the heavenly punishment and asked him to pay merit to exchange them again, it would be a bit shameless. With this speculation, that worry disappeared.
Now it seems that it is just as he expected. But at this moment, there are more important things to care about, and other things are not important to him. After learning that Aimirida, who he has been worried about, was taken in by Jin Yang, Rong Yuan was no longer worried. What he was concerned about became the changes on the earth in the past few years that he didn't know about. It was just that his body kept reminding him to replenish enough energy, and it had been so long, waiting for a while would not change anything. So Rong Yuan finished his meal patiently, and then began to understand the situation with Noah. Before he spoke, he still sighed in his heart.
Rong Yuan was not unfamiliar with the theory of the twin paradox. When he decided to go to Piqiu Star, he knew that there would be a certain difference between his time and the time on Earth. After all, the scale of space and time will change with the change of speed. Moving objects will have a time dilation effect. The faster the speed, the longer the time will pass, or in layman's terms, time slows down.
The spacecraft was traveling very fast on the way there and back, and crossing a wormhole would also bring about a small change in time. In order to prevent something like watching a chess game go wrong - returning from a trip to the stars to find that everyone on Earth had died, Rong Yuan even asked Paco about this issue in a roundabout way. Paco said that there was a time difference, but it was not long, and that the time difference of crossing a wormhole that was used stably in the universe would only be a few days at most.
At that time, in order to avoid arousing Paco's suspicion, Rong Yuan could not get to the bottom of many things, so he did not know that the relative concept of "short time" was different for the Earthlings, whose average lifespan was only 60 or 70 years old, and the Biqiu Star people, who could easily live to hundreds of years old. Later, when he learned this, the situation became more and more tense, and he had no extra time to think about this issue.
Four years is not a very long time in interstellar travel, but anyone who misses four years will not feel very happy.
Rong Yuan, who was in a bad mood, naturally didn't speak in a friendly tone. With his broader horizons and the influence of war, he looked much more majestic and oppressive when he frowned. Noah, who was too excited before, immediately behaved himself and reported the changes of the past few years in a concise manner according to Rong Yuan's preferences.
In addition to the rapid expansion of money in the account, Rong Yuan's fame also expanded.
The molecular formulas of more than a dozen special medicines for difficult and complicated diseases left by Rong Yuan were brought into reality one by one by Xiao A and everyone in the research institute within two years, saving countless lives. It won almost all medical awards, and successfully jumped three levels to obtain a doctorate degree as a high school graduate.
Two years later, there was no specific cure, and after a short period of difficulty, Noah and Xiao A began to develop one on their own.
If there are no special requirements and extra merits when exchanging for the exchange items in the Merit Mall, no scientific and technological information will be included in the intelligent brain. However, an intelligent brain that ranks among the top in the technological level of the Interstellar Alliance and a mimic robot that Earthlings dream of have very high technological content. Apart from anything else, even a circuit board, a peculiarly constructed part, or a small piece of code can be of great reference value to Earth scientists.
Noah has high emotional intelligence and high IQ, and also has strong computing ability. With its help, people were surprised to find that "Dr. Rong Yuan" suddenly lost interest in medicine and began to study information technology and intelligent robots. Sometimes he solved mathematical problems that had been pending for decades, and sometimes he made breakthroughs in material science. Although the research field spans a very large range, ordinary people who have begun to blindly worship "Dr. Rong" at this time quickly accepted the view that "Dr. Rong can do everything he wants to do best." As expected, new technologies continue to be born under his hands, and each new discovery will bring a worldwide shock and technological innovation.
However, Xiao A can easily change his research field, but his lab assistants cannot. Therefore, every time he changes his research direction, he just throws one or two simple projects to his original assistants to continue researching, and then recruits a new group of assistants who meet the requirements. So the small research institute with only a dozen people quickly became a research institute, and then a scientific research center, with more than ten different research departments established. Many outstanding scientists came from all over the world, leaving behind their previous prominent reputations and status, hoping to become an ordinary assistant to participate in his research. And all the projects of the scientific research center have the highest confidentiality level in the Sugar Country, and every patent, big or small, is tightly controlled. The high- level officials of the Sugar Country, who have suffered too much, will never give others any chance to take advantage of them again.
After the invention of the seismograph, Tang Country blocked all news for the sake of confidentiality, but now it has become a semi-public secret. At the same time, the continuous major inventions have also ruined their wish to hide Rong Yuan, so they simply use him as a model and vigorously promote him with official support. He has also given public speeches at Tang Country's top universities twice. Now Rong Yuan's name is not only known to everyone in Tang Country, but also to everyone in the world.
With a rough life, handsome young man, great intelligence, prominent status, and a huge fortune (as a director of Yuanyang Company), Rong Yuan quickly replaced actors, stars, and athletes to become the idol of countless people. The pillows, exercise books, picture books, dolls, and other items printed with his head were once sold out. Later, the merchants and vendors who made these things privately were pursued by government departments for infringing on others' portrait rights and were sued to the point of bankruptcy. However, this kind of thing cannot be completely prohibited. In order to keep the money within the family, Xiao A simply granted the portrait rights to Yuanyang Company, and they sold it by themselves. Because it is an official genuine product, it is very beautifully made and clear, and it is printed with the signature of Rong Yuan (actually Xiao A's imitation version). The sales are ridiculously high, and there are many overseas sales outlets.
As Noah was talking, the topic turned to how they made money. Rong Yuan knocked on the table, signaling to get back to the topic, and asked, "How are the white and black chess pieces now?"
