Chapter 267: Shocking Prologue
The anniversary celebration in September is counting down.
Chiefs and officials are busy, and this five-year celebration is a summary of the achievements, an interpretation of the next phase of development that will be seen by many people at home and abroad, and whether the two cities are attractive or not is a key starting point.
President CΓ©sar Hamid also arrived early.
In the chiefdom, Hamid has no presence. The first reason is that the chief has the final say in the special zone, including laws and taxes. The second is that everyone knows that without the determination and investment of these two chiefs, this place may be desolate for another hundred years.
It is like now that there are many high-rise buildings, major enterprises are everywhere, the roads are spacious, and the facilities are advanced...... Everywhere it is a modern city. And in some characteristics, a sense of technological advancement has been formed, and the slogan of the African miracle has truly ushered in reality.
Nominally, of course, Hamid is also the president of the country.
He needs to attend the Twin Cities celebrations, and the delegates will speak to convey the message that the country and the SAR welcome foreign investment and are willing to forge more trade relations.
Time all the way to the day of the anniversary.
In the spacious city hall of Future City, national dignitaries and guests from all walks of life gathered, and TV media, including foreign media, were focused. The development of sister cities has always been concerned by the outside world, and many people are curious, what are these two super-rich families playing?
For now, both cities are crazy, as if replicating Dubai's miracles: overnight construction sites, skyscrapers, ultra-luxury hotels, huge casinos, huge shopping malls. Strange architectural ...... How can this prosperity be sustained?
The outside world is actually more suspicious of the sister city.
Dubai, the wonder of the desert. It is because of the oil trade, the right time, and the foresight to transform into tourism and investment. There is no single-minded reliance on oil. They have received a lot of praise in Europe and the United States, and they have also attracted a lot of attention.
By contrast, the twin cities have the advantage of showing very little so far, and it will take a lot of money to replicate the Dubai miracle. Five years later, they completed the first phase of the work, spending 140 billion, and the next huge cost, what should be used to fill it?
All kinds of questions are piled up on today's celebration.
President Hamid spoke first from the stage.
Combine the holograms next to you as an example. He spoke passionately about the country, the booming state of the two special zones, the countless opportunities and the open-door policy.
Because of the establishment of the two special districts, it is not only the chiefdoms that are affected.
For example, in the downstream field of the industry, the food problem that is closely related to people's lives is borne by the whole country. Meng Qian's super-strong agricultural fertilizer has been put into production, and the unit wheat yield is two to three times higher than that of similar products, and the grain output is bumper and exported.
Then there is animal husbandry. With the vast land and a number of automated machines, as well as the most critical knowledge - through rapid brainwashing, many farmers and employees have mastered the tricks, and all of them have become mature hands. is no longer illiterate who can't read big characters and depends on the sky for food.
There are other basic areas, large and small, steel, construction, processing. transportation and so on, all because of the development of the Special Zone. It becomes in great demand! Where do you want these raw materials? In addition to imports, it is local production! drives the entire national system.
Hamid's speech. It is a response to suspicion that the prosperity of the Special Economic Zone is short-lived, and we have established a good and complex industrial chain, which can be supplied only to the outside world for independent agriculture and basic industries, and has also received high-tech help.
"All this, we only took five years!" Hamid looked at the audience and said proudly: "And this year, our GDP is expected to exceed 150 billion US dollars!" β
For African countries, this is already a miracle.
But the problem remains: we do see an unconventional development in the Special Economic Zone, and it has a prosperous side and attracts a lot of people.
But what about the future?
If the prosperity that is being built at the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars now is not maintained by the strength, it may collapse in the future - after the blind boom, the crowd will disperse, and the ghost towns that are in debt will be few?
President Hamid left this question to the two chiefs: "Specifically on the construction of the SAR, I would like to invite the two top governors of the SAR to speak." β
Hamid applauded, and the audience applauded.
"Come on!" His wife and children were encouraging them.
Meng Qian looked at Tiger and the other party gestured: "You go first!" β
Meng Qian nodded, buttoned one button of his suit and stood up at the same time, waved his hand to everyone first, and then walked up to the podium with steady steps: "Today's weather is very good. β
The audience laughed, thinking that he had a serious face, and he just opened his mouth to exaggerate the atmosphere, but I didn't expect it...... He also smiled: "Today is a day to remember. β
"It's been five years, which is not a very short time, but for the development of a city, it has just begun."
"I've heard a lot of questions like: What are these two cities going to do in the future? On what basis do you think it has a future? Why do you dare to invest so much? β
Meng Qian's words are also the biggest doubts at the moment.
"If anyone remembers it, my investment performance has always been good." Meng Qian said that his characteristics are: the larger the capital, the higher the success rate.
"I've invested almost all of my wealth in it." Meng Qian said this sentence - many people began to ask themselves, can he be a master of investment like him?
Hundreds of billions of investment + advanced technology, how can he be joking?
The answer was already inclined to no, and Meng Qian's next answer emphasized his confidence in all aspects: "The gift I prepared for it!" β
The hologram shows the industrial and technological structure of the future city.
People are watching, and their faces are gradually surprising: the production area of the superconductor factory? Graphene and quantum computer research area? Nuclear fusion centers? Super Brainwave Education Program? Where are specialty materials produced? Virtual reality software technology research and development enterprises?
These are the frontiers of current scientific research!
Is this true, or is it just shown in words, bragging?
Meng Qian presented evidence: "In fact, cooperation with countries around the world in these fields has been carried out on a small scale, and many of them have been used in the Special Economic Zone. β
"For example, the application of superconductivity technology to electricity and nuclear fusion." Meng Qian's voice fell, and the image of the "nuclear fusion power plant" was displayed next to him.
Its first unit, which will be officially operational next month, will have a capacity of 3 million kilowatt hours and will provide sufficient power to the central city. All is expected to be completed in three years, and it will bring 15 million kilowatt hours of capacity, enough to sustain all the electricity needs of the two cities. β
Later, Meng Qian also showed some other examples of technologies and applications.
There are more than 300 kinds of cutting-edge technologies brought by Meng Qian's plug-ins and artificial intelligence - a third of which are intended to be implemented in the special zone.
Meng Qian only revealed a few of them, but they were shocking enough.
He finally said: "What I have shown and stated is to show that we have made good progress in the past five years, and we deserve to applaud!" β
"My ruling team and I will also maintain this model, so that Future City can develop better and faster in leading technology, and at the same time welcome cooperation from the outside world!"
After the audience was shocked, applause broke out. This is not only a report to the citizens of the whole city, but also a declaration to the world that it is rich and powerful, and the effect has been achieved.
The potential, the opportunities are shown, and the rest is left to the investors.
In fact, because of the Brotherhood, these technology industries have been cooperating for a long time, and now it is just a general announcement - even if it is not said now, it will not be hidden in the next few years, and sooner or later it will be traced back to the source of Future City, this mecca of technology!
Meng Qian really brought a lot of fierce news.
But that wasn't enough, and the rise of another chief, Tiger Stone, showed a very different side of Liberty City: a paradise for travel and entertainment.
"The superconducting levitation project is a key investment project for tourism in the central city, which provides parks, restaurants, bars and other entertainment and recreation with several platforms of different heights."
Suspended hanging gardens?
Everyone began to be shocked that this project, which had been secretly implemented for many years, finally revealed its prototype!
In addition, the shooting skills are very superb, and they show a dreamy side. In the future, it will also be used as one of the city's promotional videos, and it will be spread on the Internet.
Before people could come back to their senses, Tiger brought a second surprise: "At the same time, I'm also here, officially revealing a confidential amusement project." β
Secret? People concentrate.
"First of all, I would like to thank my good friend David, whose support and investment have been crucial." Tiger said.
Another collaboration between two super-rich people?
People are waiting to get down to business...... Tiger continued: "I have a question: If one day, a dinosaur from hundreds of millions of years ago stood in front of you, would you? β
Many people are wondering, why do you ask this?
"Personally, I'm looking forward to it." As Tiger spoke, the screen behind him immediately played an image of a group of prehistoric creatures moving leisurely on the grass.
As soon as the picture turned, in the breeding area heavily protected by steel, a tyrannosaurus was roaring at the camera, and its countless sharp teeth were glowing with cold light.
Cut the picture again, several small dinosaurs that are obviously in the infant stage - with long necks and rounded bodies curled up in human arms, full of cuteness.
"Jurassic Park." Tiger unraveled the mystery, "Scientists resurrected these prehistoric creatures through genetic technology from the blood of dinosaurs in amber. β
"Are you kidding?"
This is the question that pops up in many people's minds, dinosaurs?
Restored in reality? Are you sure it's not a joke? Not making a movie?
"I think I got the answer I just had." Tiger saw the expressions on everyone's faces, "But I promise, it's real, and it's about to open." β
"Starting next week, we welcome media and film crews to the conservation park in the south of Liberty City for the on-site opening event!"
