Chapter 351 (1/2)
Looking at his old father sawing wood in front of the cabin, Carmen stepped forward and looked at the pile of wood by the lake in surprise.
”My dear father, what are you doing in...”
”Galen... Reduced version.” Wiping the sweat on his forehead, yakono looked at the unfinished keel by the lake happily and said to his favorite little son.
”Galen? What's the use of this thing? ” Carmen looked at his father in disbelief.
”If it had conquered the Pacific, it would have been useless.” Yakono said bluntly, ”that including us, including all this, is useless.”
He said a remark of unknown significance. But Carmen seemed to be used to his father's often saying things that people could not understand, so he did not make any expression, just sighed with an old man's attitude.
”... well, but do you know how to build a ship?”
”I don't know.” Yakono chuckled and pointed the saw at the keel which had already seen its rudimentary shape. ”It's just a piece of wood. There are many gateways inside. This includes how to handle the wood, including how to splice the wood. It took me a whole year to build this keel. Although it failed many times, the process was surprisingly interesting. ”
Carmen gave his father an unexpected look, and then seriously looked at the keel.
”I can't believe... No one's helping you?”
”Seth wanted to find me a boatman, but I refused. I want to try to find out for myself what's going on with this boat. ” Leaving his saw to one side, yakono picked up the mineral water from a stake. He looked up and took a few mouthfuls.
Looking at his happy father, Carmen was silent for two seconds and said.
”I heard that you have something to do with me -”
”give up that prediction.” Instead of looking at him, yakono looked at the keel.
Carmen was stunned by his father's sudden speech.
After a while. He said with difficulty.
”Why?”
Yakono moved back to look into his son's eyes.
”Babies will leave their parents one day and learn how to walk on their own feet. They can tell us a lot, but they can't tell us more. If we go on this road, we will have a more depressing future than they have won
”... but if we listen to the wise men's maxims, will we not take many detours?”
”Must the detour be wrong?” Yakono asked.
Carmen was stunned. Fell into silence.
Seeing that his son did not speak, yakono continued meaningfully: ”human beings should ask for wisdom from the sages, rather than place the future in a more distant future.”
”History has changed, but the trend should not be wrong. The next few decades will be artificial intelligence, then the technology explosion triggered by the breakthrough of materials science, and then - ”unable to agree with my father's point of view. Carmen soft channel.
”Not necessarily.” Yakono groaned and went to pick up the saw. ”See the keel? If I tell you directly how to build a Galen, how to build a steamship, and then one day ”I” dies, can you build an aircraft carrier
”... that's a scientist's business.” Carmen said helplessly.
”Science and capital have always been grasshoppers on the same rope. Technology determines the space of human life, and capital develops this space. This is the essence of science and capital. Have you returned all your economics knowledge to Harvard professors? I suggest you go back to the chapter on the Schumpeter function. ”
The old father went back to his stake to work hard, no longer taking care of his son.
After standing by the lake for a long time, Carmen turned and left his father's wooden house until the sky turned yellow.
...
the next morning, Jiang Chen took a flight to Australia. Due to the size of the airport in terms of passenger flow, the airport of New Zealand on Coro Island only opens direct flights to Australia and New Zealand, the two main neighboring countries. Therefore, if you want to arrive in New Zealand from China, you can only fly to Australia for connecting flights.
A lot of twists and turns. Jiang Chen finally got off the plane on Koro Island, but it was late at night.
When he walked out of the airport, Aisha was already waiting at the gate of the airport.
”To the presidential palace.” Take the car, Jiangchen direct road.
Nodding, Aisha started her car and set off on the road.
