A month passed slowly, and the world's richest began to gather in London, and this time many invisible rich people were blown up.

Originally, Christie's prepared an auction house that could accommodate 300 people, but the number of people who could sign up was too large, so it was directly replaced with an opera house that could accommodate 3,000 people.

All wealthy people who participate in the auction must go through the capital verification of the auction house, and those who do not have a wealth of more than one billion euros cannot get an invitation card at all.

In just a few days, a total of 2,869 invitation cards were distributed, much to the excitement of the auction house's board of directors.

Everyone understands that this is for the longevity medicine.

This time, the auction house did not receive much commission, only one thousandth, however, the board of directors of the auction house understood that even one thousandth would not be a small number.

The starting price is already 10 million euros, and the price will be topped, at least 1 billion.

In billions, the auction house receives a commission of one million euros.

Combined with the proceeds from other lots, this auction is definitely a great harvest.

Time passed, and after five days, the auction began.

In order to ensure the safety of this auction, the auction house specially hired Carter Security, the largest security company in the Eagle Country, to take charge of today's security work.

The inspection is very strict, there are more than four security personnel at each exit point, there are also two cameras, and the network center also arranges two teams of people to guard from different angles.

Cameras are installed throughout the opera house, and some even have night vision.

The roof of the opera house and the commanding heights around it are all staffed, and there are quite a few people, and the angles are also relatively tricky, so that you can't attack multiple people at once.

If one person has a problem, it will be immediately detected by more than three security personnel.

At the same time, all wealthy people who participate in the auction today must go through five security procedures before they can enter the auction venue.

Carter Security Company is very powerful and well-connected, and I don't know how to play, and the police also sent two teams of personnel to assist.

At the same time, several roads around the opera house will be closed from 4 p.m., and vehicles without invitation cards will not be allowed to enter.

When the time slowly entered six o'clock, luxury cars began to appear one after another, and the rich began to appear, and they were not allowed to bring bodyguards to enter.

It is only possible to wait at the back, and the driver must also wait in the parking lot and must not leave the vehicle for more than ten meters.

If you want to go to the toilet, there are hundreds of temporary public toilets in the parking lot, which is enough to meet the needs of drivers.

Drivers are clearly told that if anyone leaves the safe area, the security company has the right to shoot them to death, and such strict rules make many drivers honest.

However, the posture of the security company makes the rich more at ease, and compared with ordinary people, the rich are most concerned about their own safety.

One by one, they entered the opera house, received their number plates and walked to their seats, the hall on the first floor and the box on the second floor were all full before eight o'clock.

At eight o'clock, the auction started on time.

Oil paintings, cold weapons, manuscripts, porcelain, clocks, jewelry, etc., the first dozens of items were sold very quickly, and the prices were also in line with the auction house's expectations.

Almost two hours had passed slowly, and at this time, the auctioneer had spoken, "Please invite the last lot provider, Mr. Xu Ping'an, President of Tianqi Group."

After speaking, they began to applaud, many people were stunned, did Xu Ping'an really come, and began to applaud with the followers.

Soon, Xu Ping'an came out of the backstage dressed casually, and when he saw that it was really Xu Ping'an, the applause became even louder.

Coming to the center of the venue, Xu Ping'an pressed his hands in the void a few times, and the scene quieted down, and the rich people began to adjust their translators.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to this auction"

"I believe that you are already impatient, so I will not talk nonsense and go straight to the topic," Xu Ping'an said with a smile, and many people smiled.

Xu Ping'an is still the same as before, speaking directly and simply, not playing false.

"The birth of a new generation of vaccines is really very coincidental, our staff cut a plant seed from the meteorite when they cut it"

"After the identification of our professionals, this seed has been completely dead and does not have any possibility of resurrection, so this seed has been transferred to the Institute of Life for research"

"Everyone knows that the new human vaccine is a weakened version of the vaccine, because without weakening, human beings will not be able to withstand the energy-absorbing properties of the original vaccine."

"It was a very fortuitous experiment that there was an ingredient in this seed that could synthesize the tyrannical components of the original vaccine, and the researchers began experimenting"

"It is said that the seeds of this lesson are very large, and it should be enough to make more than 20 vaccines, but it was consumed in the process of the experiment, which became a pity."

"The remaining materials were exhausted after only three vaccines"

"My parents were each vaccinated with a vaccine, and after a few months of observation, the effect exceeded my expectations, and it was very good."

"Today's auction is actually a place, when you win the auction and pay the full price, you will be invited to the Apocalypse Island by the people of the Apocalypse Group."

"A very comprehensive physical examination will be carried out on you, and you will be deeply recuperated according to your current physical progress, and only after recuperation can you get vaccinated"

"The recuperation period is expected to take about a month"

"I'm done explaining, let's return the venue to the auctioneer, everyone can bid freely, the highest bidder wins" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, then bowed to everyone and left.

The crowd began to applaud and send applause, and now, everyone has a clear understanding of the product.

Back in the background, Xu Ping'an went to the VIP room to drink and chat with the board of directors of the auction, and as for the result of the auction, Xu Ping'an was not worried at all.

What's more, you can also see the scene through the big screen in the VIP lounge.

Everyone came to the VIP hall and opened the big screen with red wine and began to watch, which showed that the auction price had soared to 2 billion, and the members of the board of directors of the auction house were full of red light.

Time passed slowly, and the final winner was born, the 77-year-old Mexican telecommunications tycoon Slim, who won the victory with a bid of 5.7 billion euros.

When many people see this result, they also feel helpless, there is no way, this is a contest of real money, and there is nothing to complain about if you lose.

When the auction ended, the rich began to leave, and Xu Ping'an also left.

The next day, the whole world began to report on this matter, and the sky-high price of 5.7 billion euros completely shocked the world, and also let ordinary people know what it means to be a rich man.

For the sake of a ten-year lifespan, spend so much money without blinking.

The media also publicly reported that Slim's assets on the surface are as high as more than 40 billion euros, although he spent more than 5 billion euros, which will not hurt Slim's bones.

Perhaps, in ten years or so, Slim will earn the money back.

In just three days, Slim settled all the fees, and at the same time, the auction house transferred 80 percent of the money to the relevant United Nations agencies, after deducting commissions.

This has been confirmed by a statement issued by the relevant United Nations agencies.

Two days later, Slim took a charter flight to Apocalypse Island, accompanied by personnel from the Apocalypse Group.

Xu Ping'an also made his own charter flight back to the Celestial Empire, and injected the remaining 20 percent into the environmental fund in Xu Ping'an's name.

On this day, Mars

More than 400 kilometers from the Martian base, the sky is very dark, and it is obvious that heavy rain will soon occur here.

Now the rain on Mars doesn't cause people to get excited, it rains a lot, basically every once in a while it rains in some places.

Time passed little by little, and with a "click", a bright light flashed in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the thunder began to appear, and Dou Xiaotao, a staff member of the synthetic water station not far away, and the personnel sent to collect information were stunned.

This is the first time that lightning and thunder have been seen on Mars.

I took out my mobile phone and started shooting, and after a short time, a "click" of lightning appeared again, followed by a rumbling thunder.

After repeating this a dozen times, it began to rain in the sky, and at the same time, it was accompanied by the wind.

In outer space, the space station has made a detailed record of the information sent from the ground, and this rain is not taken seriously.

After an hour passed slowly, the meteorological staff felt that something was wrong, and according to the information received, the rain was not only not weakening, but intensifying.

Immediately called up the cloud pictures taken by the space station and began to study, and after a short time, it was discovered that this time the rain time may not end in a short time.

The clouds are very thick, and there are lightning flashes in the clouds from time to time, which have been detected by the space station's cameras.

Immediately reported to Liu Zhirong, the person in charge of the base, Liu Zhirong immediately began to make arrangements after reading the report, and the two engineering teams set off directly with the equipment.

Because the report of the meteorological team said that the rain may continue to increase, and it is expected that the rain will last for about five hours, and it will only be high and not low.

The rainfall zone is very high, higher than the ground where the Martian base is located, which is caused by earthquakes.

According to the topographical research of the generation of rainfall belt to the Martian base, if there is a real flood, it will pose a great threat to a sub-base.

The best way to do this is to raise the water in one area and change the direction of the water.

One of the two engineering teams was sent to raise the water and the other to excavate and direct the flow of water elsewhere.

Only 20 minutes after the departure of the two working groups, Liu Zhirong once again dispatched two teams and 30 transport vehicles to set off with equipment and some explosives.

Exploding directly with explosives in areas that are not easy to dig must now be accelerated.
