Chapter 588: A City in the Desert

Ma Tianming has been Lu Yang's assistant for several years, and he is very clear about his boss's obsession with dinosaurs. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info There is nothing strange about this, dinosaurs are powerful creatures that have a huge attraction to some people, especially a wayward rich man like Lu Yang.

It's just that Ma Tianming didn't expect that Lu Yang's interest in dinosaurs completely surpassed curiosity. As far as he knows, in order to study dinosaurs, Lu Yang's direct investment has been nearly 10 billion, and if he wants to say it, I'm afraid outsiders will be shocked.

Lu Yang not only spent a lot of effort to collect all kinds of dinosaur fossils, but also hired global dinosaur research experts through various channels. In addition, he organized five expeditions and funded dozens more in search of dinosaur tracks.

What Ma Tianming didn't understand was that in recent months, Lu Yang had put aside the work of the group and devoted himself to the study of dinosaurs.

"Boss, the dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years, such a long time, the vicissitudes of life, the earth has changed so much, the possibility of survival is too small." Ma Tianming couldn't help but persuade.

Lu Yang looked at him and said, "The significance of the expedition is not only about dinosaurs, they are also tasked with collecting some unknown information. ”

The purpose of Luyang's expedition is not simply to find dinosaurs, each expedition team has a very complete information collection terminal, and the corresponding information will be transmitted to Pangu in the area they visit. Equipped with advanced equipment, these expeditions were able to reach many places that ordinary people could not go to, and to see scenery that was not available in the outside world.

Lu Yang did not expect the expedition to find the dinosaurs, but he was eager to see the expedition find some unknown creatures, or creatures that had been declared extinct by humans. For example, an expedition went deep into the Qinling Mountains and found three wild South China tigers. Prior to this, the wild South China tiger was widely believed to be extinct.

And because of the discovery of the expedition, Penglai Zoo has a lot of precious animals, most of which were found in Africa, and then quietly transported back to Penglai Island, if they are investigated, their legitimacy may be questioned. In order to avoid disputes, Lu Yang usually makes amends by investing or lending to the countries concerned, which is very effective for African countries.

"Boss, here's an invitation from Shat." Lu Yang was still thinking about the synthesis of the Brontosaurus chromosome and nucleus, and Zhao Tai brought an unexpected news.

"Shat? Is it Salman? Lu Yang asked.

"Yes."

"For what?"

Zhao Tai said: "It's about Crescent City." ”

Crescent City is a new city established in the desert 150 kilometers west of its capital, Riyadh, in cooperation with the Sat government and the Penglai Agricultural Group. This project started in 2014 and has been going on for 6 years today. In six years, the two sides have invested a total of 70 billion US dollars to build a green city with an area of 5,000 square kilometers in the desert!

"Crescent City ......," Lu Yang said with a smile, "I've almost forgotten." ”

"You and Salman negotiated this project in the first place." Zhao Tai said, "This time, the Sat government is preparing to officially establish the city of Crescent City, and they want to invite you to participate in the opening ceremony. ”

Lu Yang immediately said: "You can go!" ”

Since 2015, Lu Yang's focus has shifted to the construction of Penglai Island, and he has paid little attention to the Crescent City project. He was now curious about what kind of city Shat had founded.

Two days later, Lu Yang and Zhao Tai took off from Jinlong Airport on his private jet. Zhao Tai's private jet is an improved version of the Kunpeng passenger plane sent by Lu Yang, with a top speed of Mach 2, and after more than 5 hours of flight, they have arrived at King Kallow International Airport in Riyadh.

Before Lu Yang and the others left, Crescent City was already famous all over the world.

At the beginning of the Crescent City project, the government was not optimistic because the land pressure on Sand was not great. With an area of 2.25 million square kilometres, the population of Sat is only 32 million, making it very dense, despite more than half of the country's land being desert.

However, Salman has a high regard for Crescent City, and for him, building a brand new city in the middle of the desert means a lot. Fortunately, there is no shortage of money in Sart, not only the government is rich, but the royal family is rich, and tens of billions of dollars are nothing to them. In fact, Sheat's military spending last year was as high as $60 billion, ranking fifth in the world.

At the beginning, Salman planned to build a 2,000-square-kilometer oasis city, but later in the project, Penglai Agricultural Group cut the cost of transforming the desert by half because of technological breakthroughs, and Salman, who was not short of money, decided to maintain the original budget, and finally built an oasis with an area of 5,000 square kilometers.

Other countries are aware of this investment by the Sat government, but in the eyes of many people, this is purely the behavior of local tyrants in the country. In the beginning, no one thought they would succeed, and many media commented on it as "pointless money".

"Turning such a large desert into an oasis is something that God can't do!" The Los Angeles Times asserts.

However, Penglai Agricultural Group has once again created a miracle. In just three years, they transformed 1,600 square kilometers of inland desert into an oasis, after which Penglai Agricultural Group accelerated its speed and spent another three years to complete the Crescent City plan, and a 5,000 square kilometers oasis appeared in front of the world.

After the completion of the Crescent City project, Salman excitedly announced to the outside world that the Sand government had resettled 100,000 people to Crescent City and was ready to officially establish the city!

"Welcome, Mr. Lu Yang, His Majesty has asked me to convey his apologies, because he is unable to meet you in person because of temporary matters." Lu Yang was greeted by the first deputy prime minister of Shat, who was also the crown prince Felder of the king. He was Salman's eldest son and the first heir to the throne of Shat.

Lu Yang shook hands with Felder: "Your Majesty the King is too polite. ”

Lu Yang and Salman had a good relationship, and they established a personal friendship from the time they were still the crown prince. In the past, when the two met, they had to hug and venerate. However, he and Felder have no special relationship, and the meeting is just a handshake.

Felder said, "Your Majesty has said that you are his old friend and the most honored guest of Shat. ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Lu Yang had a very good impression of Felder. Speaking of which, Felder is older than Lu Yang's father. However, during the conversation, he faintly regarded Lu Yang as an elder, which made Lu Yang a little unaccustomed.

Lu Yang intends to maintain a relationship with Felder, Salman is 85 years old, and although his health is okay now, who knows how many years he can last. When the time comes, Felder will become the master of Shat. Unlike the kings of other countries with constitutional monarchies, the Shat kings also served as the prime minister of the government and had real power.

Similarly, Felder is also interested in befriending Lu Yang. In today's world, Luyang's Penglai Island has risen to become a force to be reckoned with, especially in technology and military, and their strength is recognized by the outside world. Sart is now relying on oil, but oil is a non-renewable resource, and sooner or later they will have to transform, and then Penglai Island's technology will be particularly critical.

In this case, the communication between the parties was very pleasant.

"Thank you very much Mr. Lu for being able to attend this ceremony, and thank you for your company's contribution to our country." Felder was very humble, "Crescent City is a miracle, and this miracle is something we created together, and it represents our friendship. ”

Lu Yang said with a smile: "Your Highness has an overreputation, and the most important thing for the Crescent City to be built is His Majesty Salman's persistence." He was a resolute and far-sighted king, and his courage and vision were unmatched by ordinary people. It was he who eliminated the disadvantages in the first place, so that the plan would not be aborted. ”

Felder was very happy to hear Lu Yang praise Salman, and he admired his father very much. In the past, King Shat was a brother and a brother, and this method of succession had advantages and disadvantages, and later the first and second heirs failed to survive Salman and died one after another, and Salman took the opportunity to change this way of succession, and Lifeld was the first heir.

Lu Yang and Felder attended the royal family's welcome banquet together, and returned to his estate near Riyadh with Zhao Tai in the evening. This manor was given to him by Salman back then, and because of the distance, Lu Yang lived only a handful of times.

The next day, Felder accompanied Lu Yang on a tour of Crescent City. They set off in a helicopter from the outskirts of Riyadh and headed straight west.

"It's a flashing helicopter." Lu Yang is all too familiar with Felder's helicopter, which he made Tianxin Aerospace produce a few years ago.

"If I remember correctly, this helicopter is also a product of Mr. Lu's company." Felder laughed.

Lu Yang nodded, he didn't know if Felder really liked this helicopter, and used it to get close to himself. But in either case, you don't have to refuse the other party's kindness.

"Actually, I also have a Kunpeng private jet." Felder said loudly, the sound of the flashing helicopter was much quieter than the other helicopters, but after all, it was a helicopter, and the noise was still very loud.

"I've bought all of your company's other products." Felder showed the North Star on his wrist again and gestured to the side, "There's your company's functional garment developed specifically for desert areas. ”

Lu Yang and Zhao Tai listened to the translator's words, and the two glanced at each other, both smiling secretly, they didn't expect that this first deputy prime minister of Shart was still a fan of Penglai Group. (To be continued.) )
