In the northwest of Rome, the capital of Italy, there is a small country with an area of only 0.44 square kilometers, and it is surprising that this small country with a population of less than 600 people has the same influence in the world as a large country like Rome, because it is the center of faith for one-sixth of the world's population.

The Vatican, a country of religion, is the destination of Lu Yang's trip.

A visit to the Vatican is not the same as a visit to other countries, where worldly power and wealth cannot exert their corresponding influence. In other countries, even in the United States, Lu Yang can easily meet the president, but not in the Vatican, because its head is the Pope, a person who is regarded by countless people as the spokesman of God.

When Lu Yang entered the Vatican, his itinerary was exposed by the media, and many Western media shouted that Lu Yang was going to convert to Catholicism. What is surprising is that the Vatican's reception of Lu Yang is also very high, probably thinking that he is going to become religious. After all, if the world's richest man can be converted, it will also be good for the prestige of Catholicism.

Of course, Lu Yang didn't come here to believe in religion. He didn't dare to say that he was an atheist, but Lu Yang didn't have a good impression of any religion in the West. His purpose is not clear even to his entourage.

The person in charge of receiving Lu Yang was a cardinal archbishop with a high status, which showed the importance they attached to Lu Yang.

The bishop originally thought that Lu Yang wanted to be baptized, but after learning that Lu Yang had no intention of doing so, his enthusiasm was greatly reduced.

Lu Yang didn't want to talk to him, and finally asked the other party to hand over a letter to the Pope and left. Before leaving, he repeatedly stressed the importance of this letter to the Catholic Church and asked it to be passed on to the Pope. This made the bishop a little curious about what the letter that could be so valued by the richest man in the world was written.

Not long after Lu Yang left, the letter was delivered to the Pope.

The letter was written in English, in Lu Yang's own handwriting, and not long after the Pope opened the letter, his face suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty, what is written in the letter that can shock you so much?" The bishop is obviously a confidant of the Pope, otherwise he would not ask such a question.

The Pope shook his head, did not take his eyes off the letter, and read it several times. In fact, the content of the letter is very simple, but there are two pictures on it, which makes the Pope irrepressible excited.

"Longinus gun, golden covenant ark, is it true that these two holy relics are in the hands of that Huaxia man?" The Pope cupped his head and muttered to himself.

"John, you immediately contact this Huaxia man to make sure that what he said in his letter is true!" The Pope handed the letter to the cardinal archbishop and commanded.

The bishop named John quickly scanned the letter, and was stunned, and he now understood why the Pope had such an expression. In the letter, Lu Yang mentioned that he had obtained two objects by chance, namely the Golden Covenant Ark and the Longinus Gun, which he also painted. Lu Yang has advanced painting techniques, and the pictures he paints are no worse than the photographs.

"Your Majesty, this ...... The drawings in the letter are exactly the same as the materials kept by the Church, but could it be that the holy relics really appeared in China? As soon as he saw these two pictures, John immediately confirmed that they were real relics! As he said, the church kept materials on the Golden Ark of the Covenant and the Longinus gun, the pictures of which were almost exactly the same as those painted by Lu Yang.

"Perhaps...... John, this matter is left to you, and no news can be passed out until the truth is confirmed. If the contents of the confirmation letter are true, no matter what the cost, you must get the two holy relics back, understand? The Pope tilted his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll do it at once."

Leaving Italy, Lu Yang went to Shate again. When I saw Salman again, the other party's attitude was much more enthusiastic.

Last year, Luyang invested in the desalination industry of Shate, which brought great changes to Shate. Thanks to the use of new technologies, the production of seawater desalination increased significantly last year, which can not only meet the needs of domestic water, but also industrial and agricultural water.

Now, the seawater that is desalinated every day alone is enough to meet all the water used in the country. Sand was originally the world's largest desalination country, accounting for nearly 20% of the world's production, and now this proportion has increased to 40%. According to last year's plan, this year's desalination plant in Shatte will produce 15 million cubic meters per day.

Salman also plans to further expand the desalination plant to increase fresh water to transform the desert, a plan that is seen as a megaproject for the future of Salt, which could start in the middle of this year.

In addition, the Palen oil field has now been put into production, and the first phase of the project has been completed, with a daily production of 1.5 million barrels, of which 80% is sold to China. As for the price of this part of crude oil, Huaxia and Shate reached an agreement. According to the plan, when the third phase of the project is completed, the oil field alone will produce 4.8 million barrels per day. This oil field alone can meet 55% of Huaxia's oil imports, which shows its importance to Huaxia.

"Mr. Lu, welcome to Shat again." Salman took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Yang and greeted him warmly. Last year, Lu Yang came to Shate, which brought them a lot of benefits. Moreover, after seeing the desalination technology of Tianxin Group, Salman was completely convinced.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't come unharmed. ”

"I heard that Mr. Lu is here for a new investment?" Salman asked.

"Yes, I heard that your government has launched a project to transform the desert, and it just so happens that a planting company under my name has recently developed a plant that is very effective for desert transformation." Lu Yang said with a smile.

"I can trust the technology of your Tianxin Group, and besides, desert transformation is a big project, and we welcome all investments." Salman said sleekly.

Lu Yang just smiled, he knew that although Salman said this, he was afraid that he still had some doubts in his heart. However, this is also human nature.

"Your Highness, you can take a look at this information, this is an experimental area of our company in Huaxia, this experimental area is located on the edge of the desert in the inland of Huaxia, where the climate is arid and rainless, and there is a certain similarity to your country. After half a year of our transformation, this 10-acre desert has undergone amazing changes......" Lu Yang handed Salman the prepared materials and looked at him confidently.

The experimental area Lu Yang mentioned was a desert contracted by Zhao Tai in May last year, and after that, Zhao Tai organized people to plant moonlight algae on this desert that Lu Yang exchanged for points, which is obviously different from drought-tolerant plants on the earth, its leaves are large, and the exposed part of the surface is very dense. In general, drought-tolerant plants have very small leaves in order to reduce evaporation.

The root system of moonlight algae is very well developed, and the main root system of a mature moonlight algae is 15 meters long. It also has a characteristic that it grows fast and has a short lifespan, with a survival time of only half a year. After death, the moonshine algae quickly decays, and the dense branches and leaves are broken down by the bacteria into organic matter, which is conducive to the formation of soil. The most wonderful thing is that when its roots rot, it forms a special substance that coagits the sandy soil and thus fixes it.

Salman looked at the information given by Lu Yang, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Mr. Lu, this is what you say, plants that can transform the desert?"

Lu Yang explained: "Yes, this plant is called moonshine algae, which is a drought-tolerant plant beyond common sense. You don't have to look at its wide leaves and lush foliage, in fact, it requires very little water. According to our research, moonshine algae has a special ability to inhibit the evaporation of its own water while absorbing water from the air. ”

Salman was skeptical, if there really was such a plant, how could he not have heard of it?

"Your Highness, this is the plant variety that we have finally synthesized after countless experiments. You don't have to doubt that the data on this information has been tested by us, and there is absolutely no moisture. Lu Yang assured.

Salman put away the information: "Mr. Lu, I am very willing to believe you, but the transformation of the desert is related to the future of my country, and I must be cautious, so I hope that I can see your experimental area with my own eyes." ”

"No problem, we welcome!" Lu Yang immediately said.

Shat's desert transformation project is a big project of hundreds of billions of dollars, and by participating in this project, Lu Yang can not only make money, but also complete the task of Heavenly Dao. Of course, when it comes to deserts and desertified areas, there are many in China, but the Chinese government cannot invest like Shat.

Desert renovation is a very complex project, which is difficult to complete without the state's leading investment, and in this regard, Lu Yang is planning to lobby the high-level. However, he estimates that in the short term, there is no hope for this plan, after all, Huaxia is not Shat, most areas are not threatened by the desert, and there are too many places for Huaxia to use money, and the management of the desert may only be ranked in the government's last option area.

Lu Yang spent a week in Shat, where he gained an in-depth understanding of the desert conditions, during which time he also invested in a medium-sized steel plant. In the capital of Shat, Luyang also has a manor sent by Salman, and this week, Luyang lived in the manor.

"Mr. Lu, congratulations to you, your company's helicopters are well received in our country." Lu Yang and Salman arrived at the estate in a flashing helicopter, Salman said from the helicopter.

Lu Yang laughed: "I also want to thank Your Highness for your publicity." ”

Salman's helicopter was given by Lu Yang, which was a return gift to him as a gift to the manor, originally Salman didn't value this helicopter, but after sitting a few times, he liked this helicopter. The biggest advantage of a scintillation helicopter is that it is quiet and can adapt to a variety of environments, including deserts. Its maintenance is also simple, with an intelligent operating system, which is very safe.

The scintillating helicopter was appreciated by Salman, and soon opened up the market for Shat, with orders from the Sand government alone amounting to 50 units. As one of the richest countries in the world, there are many wealthy people in the country who can afford helicopters. In addition, the price of the scintillation helicopter is not expensive, only 1.5 million US dollars, and the cost performance is better than other brands, and the orders have increased.

Scintillation helicopters took the Sand market as an opportunity to enter the Middle East market. This has always been the territory of the Chinese people, but Tianxin Aerospace is not scared at all. In the end, Tianxin Aerospace received a total of 150 orders in the Middle East. (To be continued.) )
