After finishing his opinion, Tang Rui had put all the documents back into the bag, waiting to hand them to Lin Chao the next day.
The space elevator.
Actually, for him, it had meant nothing.
But for the entire human civilization, the space elevator was very necessary, and it was also the main artery for future space development.
It was not that spaceships were bad.
Before anti-gravity, spaceships that took off from the ground and went directly to space to transport materials were just of little use.
Their carrying capacity was too small.
As for the anti-gravity system, he was definitely going to work on it, but not at that time. Revealing the anti-gravity system directly would have been absurd, possibly even leading to the downfall of the entire civilization.
The next day.
Lin Chao had taken the document bag, submitted his opinions, which were
highly valued.
With the current level of human civilization, it was somewhat difficult to build a space elevator, not just because of the cable issue, but various other problems.
However, these problems were all technical and material-related, not
theoretical.
So, they were not difficult to solve.
But the authorities weren’t rushing into it, especially with the New Year
approaching.
Who doesn’t celebrate the New Year?
In a blink of an eye.
The time had come to the day of the Chinese Little New Year.
After Tang Rui distributed a year’s salary as an annual bonus to all employees, he also awarded each person 100 points.
“President Tang, what are these points for? Are they for a lottery?” Feng Yuanxing had curiously asked upon seeing the too points displayed on the system.
“No, these points are for internal company use. You can exchange points for items, like electric cars,” Tang Rui had said with a smile.
In fact, he had just thought of this points system the night before.
After all, it was New Year.
We had reached the top that year, so it was time to celebrate.
He had thought about a lottery for employees, but most companies did that, and it didn’t reflect the awesomeness of his company.
So, he had racked his brains for ten minutes and came up with an idea.
Points.
With points, one could exchange for various high-tech items within the company, like the electric cars he had just mentioned.
“Tang, where can we exchange these points?”
“Open your work assistant, click on the activities page, and you’ll find the
points exchange there.”
Everyone had opened their work assistants upon hearing Tang Rui’s words.
Gasp!
Everyone had gasped when they saw what the points could be exchanged for.
[Electric Car: 80 Points]
[Product Details: Customizable design, equipped with top-notch company technology, including a wireless power reception system, unlimited endurance, no need for charging, lifetime warranty]
If the electric car was just an unlimited endurance vehicle, that wasn’t very impressive.
But the items below were not something ordinary people could access.
[Single-person Flyer: 260 Points]
[Product Details: Single-person electromagnetic anti-gravity flyer, electric propulsion engine, automatic driving, unlimited endurance, 6 Mach supersonic speed]
[Small Shuttle: 800 Points]
[Product Details: Capable of traveling between Earth and outer space, electric propulsion engine, high-energy isotope thermoelectric battery, 15 hours of endurance after leaving Earth’s magnetic field, unlimited endurance within it] Besides these high-end items, there were also a variety of other things.
Employees could even use points for personal customization.
Like if you needed a product that wasn’t sold outside you could use points to purchase from the company, and they would make it for you.
This was why everyone was so excited after seeing the activities page.
“Tang, if we need personal customized equipment, do we submit the request directly to Red Lotus?”
“Right, submit your requirements to Red Lotus, and it will calculate how many points you need.”
“Tang, can our company make bionic arms for the disabled?
An employee had asked excitedly, thinking of something.
“Bionic arm? Aren’t those sold outside?” Tang Rui had asked, puzzled.
“Tang, I’m not talking about the junk sold outside, but something like in sci-fi movies… like the cyberpunk mechanical arms.” The employee had asked with anticipation.
Cyberpunk?
Mechanical arms?
Tang Rui had thought for a moment. Such cyberpunk mechanical arms required neural connection technology, brainwave signal conversion technology, ultra-precision mechanical processing technology, and a miniature power system.
These technologies were not a problem for his company.
Although the neural connection and brainwave signal conversion technologies were confidential, and the employees didn’t know about them, Tang Rui had them all.
“Sure, who was it for?”
-My nephew, he had an accident half a year ago and his right arm was amputated.”
“Okay, go to your nephew’s house tonight, put the company’s bracelet on his hand to collect his neural signals.
Then take two photos of his amputated arm, compare his arm length, and send them to me before 8 tonight.
As for the points, let’s say 100 for you. Normally, such special personal customizations started at 500 points, much more expensive than mass-produced items.
But you were the first to try, and it was New Year, so I gave you a discount.”
Tang Rui had said with a smile, minimizing the significance of the mechanical arm but making the rules clear.
“Thank you, Tang, I’ll go to my sister’s house right away.” The employee had bowed gratefully.
“Okay, if you have anything to exchange, order it today. You’ll get it before New Year.
If you order late, you’ll have to wait until after the holiday.”
After Tang Rui finished speaking, he had left the company.
The employees then began discussing what to exchange.
Exchanging for an electric car was the most practical, and everyone could afford it, plus they could design their own exterior.
So, many people had chosen to exchange for electric cars.
As for the single-person flyer, nobody had enough points, although some wanted to exchange or even buy points from others.
But everyone was smart.
With the personal customization of mechanical arms, points could be life-saving, more useful than money.
Nobody would foolishly sell their points for money.
As for exchanging high-tech from the company and then selling it?
Forget it.
Under Red Lotus’s surveillance, if you dared to do so, you would be out in no time, and no one could save you.
But for family use, that was no problem.
After returning home, Tang Rui inquired what his employees had exchanged for.
“Master, most of them hadn’t exchanged anything, choosing to keep their points. A few had exchanged for electric cars, and were currently using Red Lotus’s computing power to design the car’s appearance,” Red Lotus immediately replied.
Tang Rui had nodded, understanding that these people were good at exploiting opportunities..
