Time came to autumn unconsciously, and in the summer of this year, high temperatures and drought broke out in most of Idaho, but due to the role of the Tree of Life, the Elf Farm was not affected, but the Tree of Life completed the complete integration with the rules of the earth, and generated the last element, the "Fire Spirit", which was inevitably named "Fire Spirit" by Lan Jiawei.

Lan Jiawei's son Xiaowen is almost a year old, more and more cute and naughty, and now he can only hold the bottle and make a simple "supplement" sound, and everyone likes to laugh when he sees it, and he is very liked by his grandparents. But Daddy Lan is a teacher and will not act too dotingly.

Roll has already given birth to two little raccoons, both of which have blonde hair like their parents, and the skills of Ball Ball and Roll are not genetic. Lan Jiawei refused Qiuqiu's request to ask for magic crystals for the child, and waited for the two little ones to grow up.

With Lan Jiawei busy with Lan's Industries and Chiyo busy with the music salon with a growing number of guests, the two often fly between San Francisco and the farm. Lan Dad and Lan Ma finally took their grandson Xiaowen to San Francisco, and the old couple drove the car their son bought for themselves to Chinatown to play, or chatted with their in-laws, and had a very comfortable time.

Lan's sodium hydrogen process has been classified as a national secret by the U.S. government, and will not be allowed to provide relevant manufacturing technology to any other country, and the patent description has also been changed to a simple introduction, and others are classified as secret. Many countries that contacted Bard in the hope of obtaining patent authorization felt disappointed, and had to turn to the next best thing and began to order finished raw materials for hydrogen and sodium plants, but the United States limited the export of raw materials, which was simply not enough for them to conduct large-scale research and production.

Due to the success of the battery factory's research on sodium hydrogen raw materials in automotive batteries, computer batteries and other fields, it has received a large purchase list from the United States. There are also many orders from automakers with electric vehicle production lines.

In the first half of the year, several contracts for mobile phone batteries are being fulfilled step by step, and in the face of strong facts, all consumers and public opinion are crazy, with a charging time of only 5 seconds and a standby time of more than 30 days, making mobile phone sales with new battery technology booming. And some large manufacturers who originally disdained this technology, as well as small mobile phone manufacturers, are in mourning.

Lan Jiawei has completed the second hydrogen and sodium production line, and has occupied all the empty plants left in the hydrogen and sodium plant, which is basically enough in the current situation, after all, the seawater will not be exhausted, and the factory does not need transportation costs, but the electricity consumption is a little worse.

In addition to the battery, the computer application of sodium hydrogen material is still in the research stage, and the shareholders are not in a hurry to go public, and plan to lay a solid foundation before talking.

Now the amount of Lan Jiawei's deposits, plus the Swiss bank account of the offshore company, has exceeded 500 million US dollars, and if Lan's Industries goes public, its worth will be incalculable.

He has received a request to order hydrogen and sodium raw materials from the Li Cheng family and even Cheng Wu in China, but Lan Jiawei doesn't want to care about these, the company's management has its rules, and he called Li Cheng and his uncle to explain the reason vaguely, and he knew the "confidentiality" emphasized by his buddies and nephews Li Cheng and Cheng Wu, and he found a reason to prevaricate some people.

But Lan Jiawei couldn't refuse the call from the old butler Wells, the family represented by this old man helped him a lot, and it was easy to operate between the United States and France, so in the name of the chairman, he set a lot of raw material export quotas to Renee's family industry, which provided great help to her to change and stabilize the family industry in the future.

Although there are only more than 200 million US dollars in the domestic account in the United States, it still has to be consumed, otherwise it is really distressing to be deducted from taxes.

So Lan Jiawei started a new round of investment and consumption in September, first of all, he bought the mountains on both sides of his farm, only spent 8.2 million US dollars, the last time he went to save people was called Gantt Mountain, he did not change the name, and the other side of the mountain was renamed Leth Mountain in order to commemorate the Leth Continent, which will be the habitat of the future elves.

Yuan Yi and Zheng Qin sent them an invitation to attend the wedding on October 2, which was about the same time as the wedding anniversary of Lan Jiawei and his wife. Lan Jiawei has been interested in film shooting for a long time, and has contacted legendary film companies that have not been outstanding in recent years through Xiaozhi, and happened to complete this matter at a time period with Yuan Yi's wedding.

At this time, Lan Jiawei is following the logo of Ash's virtual map, heading towards an abandoned mine, which is a mine in the middle of the Leith Mountain, which has been hidden by trees and weeds, it is a remnant of the fifties of the last century.

Ash's imaging is all combined by intercepting data from various satellites, cameras, etc. around the earth, and there is no specific data on the interior of this cave. Lan Jiawei could only go in and watch it by himself.

Mount Leith is twice the size of Mount Serra, and since it is autumn, many animals come out to find food for the winter. Driving a Ford Raptor pickup truck with off-road performance along the asphalt road that was already somewhat damaged, Lan Jiawei was in a good mood recently, and the two brown bears he encountered on the road were beaten up by him and let go.

Near the evening, Lan Jiawei came to the mouth of this mine, looked at the surrounding environment, and after dinner, he started to eradicate all the shrubs that originally grew on the flat ground, and leveled a vacant land, and next time he could fly a helicopter directly over.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening, Lan Jiawei didn't want to wait any longer, even if he entered the mine during the day, it was dark inside, so he picked up the tactical flashlight he had brought from the FBI and walked in.

"Ash, did you start scanning?"

"It's already being scanned, master, it's an abandoned zinc mine as documented in official sources, with a complete power supply system."

Under Ash's guidance, Lan Jiawei opened the iron door of the zinc mine cave and closed the power switch, and the cave was brightly lit in an instant. I have to say that the quality of capitalist things is nothing to say, although it is already an abandoned mining area in the state data, but the equipment is still quite intact.

There is no plot of any minecart going down in the movie, the lane for pulling the mine is very small, there is an abandoned minecart on it, and the people have a special passage with iron railings to go down slowly, and the whole road down is very wide, it seems that there are many people who have worked here.

Lan Jiawei no longer needs a flashlight, and the power supply for the mine comes from the national grid. There is a row of light bulbs on the granite walls on either side of the iron passage that the workers used to walk, just follow along.

Walking to the place where it is estimated that it was the first time to change work clothes, according to Xiao Zhi's calculations, it is already 52 meters underground, the area here is quite large, except for the attached electricity, etc., other equipment has been dismantled, nearly 1600 square meters of place is empty, 10 meters of height on the top and all around are the unique granite of the Rocky Mountains, it seems that the earliest excavation took a lot of work.

As for the next mining tunnel, there is no need to go into it again, and now this is enough for Lan Jiawei to use as a secret laboratory and factory.

"Ash, it's really nice here, mainly because the place is big enough and there is electricity. It's time to start customizing your equipment."

"Master, it's a pity that the road up is too narrow, and in the end all the components can only be pulled up and assembled"

"How big is the amphibious vehicle you are planning? Oh, and don't forget to shield the satellites from scanning for changes here."

"Master, it's about the same size as your RV, in order to be deformed, you need to order some metals, titanium, rhenium, rare earths, etc., but the amount doesn't need to be much, just like the ones used for experiments, they are all steel-based, and the others I just use them as mediums, and the final alloy is at least 2500 years beyond the earth's technology, so it's because the maintenance equipment of the spacecraft is still there, let's be lucky." The satellite is fine, I will give the wrong conclusion, it is no different from before"

"You place an order to order it yourself, how much does it cost to even the equipment and instruments?"

"It's not much, master, it won't exceed 20 million dollars, you spend too much money and you say do experiments, no one will believe it, the equipment will be customized separately in Germany and the United States, the same as last time"
