Two hours later, Musk looked at the giant factories below the horizon and the clusters of trucks rushing to and fro on the wide road, showing an extremely envious look.

This is a fairly complete industrial system, from the refining of raw materials, the processing of heavy industry, to the finishing, to various finished product factories, and finally the assembly plant of 10,000 people, the entire industrial chain is completed in this vast industrial park.

What's even more outrageous is that the entire industrial park here, and even a resource extraction company that provides raw materials, belong to the young man next to him......

"I think the outside world is underestimating your assets."

Standing in front of the gate of the industrial park, Musk couldn't help but sigh, "I think that your actual assets are definitely far beyond the estimates of the outside world, and even exceed the total assets of some old consortia." ”

The reason why I say this is because in the 2023 Forbes Global Rich Rankings, Chen Chen was evaluated by Forbes as a total asset of $50 billion by Forbes for his life science city and various patents, ranking 20th in the world, and he is also the youngest member of the rich list.

"That's right, but in Africa, everything is worthless, including human life."

Chen Chen smiled indifferently, "What's more, I'm not a businessman, for people like you and me who have big dreams, money is just a tool to serve our dreams, if the dreams can't be realized, what's the use of more money?" ”

"Hahahaha, Chen, you're so good!"

Hearing this, Musk's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered that the young man in front of him, like himself, was committed to a certain dream and was constantly working hard - his dream was to establish a permanent colony on Mars and make humans a transplanetary species, and the human life escape plan of this magical young man in front of him was not the case?

Blackwater has stated in countless public appearances that the company's corporate vision is to bring mankind into the age of eternal life, and even move towards the dream called eternal life......

I have to say that the young man in front of him who has single-handedly created a legend is indeed very in line with his own philosophy, after all, if he achieves his desire to immigrate to Mars in the future, I am afraid that he will already be dying of old age, can it be said that he has just completed his dream and will die of old age on Mars?

Although he once said that 'his dream is to scatter his ashes on Mars', Musk knows that he doesn't really want to die.

He has an innumerable amount of money, and he has a talent that stands proudly in the world, and the world is wonderful to him.

However, nowadays, the development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, and in this biological company, Musk also sees the hope of obtaining a higher quality of life, for which he specially gave the company many preferential treatments, including lace electrode technology, and this friendly visit.

This is all a manifestation of Musk's goodwill.

Next, Chen Chen led Musk around the entire industrial park, and then came to a satellite manufacturing factory department.

"This is the communications satellite we designed."

In the dust-free laboratory, Chen Chen led Musk to a behemoth.

It was a spiral-shaped metal object, pitch black, only one meter in diameter, but more than four or five meters in height, with flickering patterns on it, and a large number of scale-like lines inlaid on it.

This is not so much a satellite as it is an artistic creation with a strong style, full of indescribable weirdness.

"It's ......"

Musk looked at the monster in front of him dumbfounded, as an expert in playing rockets and satellites, he would not be unaware, because there is no air in the vast space, so satellites do not have to be made into beautiful streamlines like airplanes, so the shapes of satellites are completely varied.

Available in fusiform, spherical, barrel and even flaky ......

Moreover, many satellites have their own solar panels, so when actually deployed, the satellites are like sailboats, and some even carry receiving antennas like iron pots, which are far less beautiful than airplanes.

But in any case, satellites have strong functional characteristics, and what a satellite has is capable of being a true connoisseur can tell with the naked eye alone.

However, the image of the satellite in front of him has subverted Musk's perception of satellites.

"I suspect that this thing you want to launch will be difficult to pass the approval of international space regulators......

Musk's face was a little weird, and he joked, "And this kind of thing you launched, is it trying to contact aliens?" ”

"I know it doesn't look like a human creation, but rest assured, I didn't launch it to contact aliens."

Chen Chen shook his head and said solemnly, "This is a communication satellite developed by our Black Light Technology, and the purpose of my launch is to provide my company with a unique encrypted communication technology. ”

"Encryption?"

"Yes."

Chen Chen nodded, "After all, Mr. Musk, you have to understand that once a high-tech company like ours leaks technology, it represents billions or even tens of billions of monetary losses, so it is difficult for us to afford technical leaks, but if we have a unique communication channel, it will be much simpler." ”

As he spoke, Chen Chen patted Musk on the shoulder, "Moreover, at the level of the Earth Federal Space Regulatory Agency, I naturally have my own way to pawn, Mr. Musk, as long as you can launch it into geosynchronous orbit." ”

Hearing this, Musk couldn't help but take a deep look at Chen Chen, and then slowly walked in front of the so-called satellite and touched it gently.

On this satellite, Musk felt an ominous feeling, especially the totem-like lines on it, and when he reached out to touch it, he even had the illusion that he was touching a wriggling maggot......

It was a disgusting, creepy touch, as if it were a living thing.

"The technology of this satellite is very advanced."

Chen Chen walked up to Musk's side and said with a look at the artwork, "Its weight is only about ten tons, and your Falcon 9 can be easily carried." ”

"I just read that the letter of intent for cooperation says that you want to launch a total of five of these satellites?"

Musk asked, "For satellites in geosynchronous orbit, only three satellites are needed to cover all areas of the earth except the north and south poles, so you launch five satellites to cover even the north and south poles at the same time?" ”

"yes, that's what I thought."

Chen Chen nodded and invited again, "Now that the satellite has been watched, what else do you want to see next?" ”

"Now that you have come to the world-famous Life Science City, the next step is to take a look at your company's life science and technology."

Musk didn't want to delve deeper for a satellite, thought about it, and took the initiative to shift the conversation to the previous longevity technology, "Didn't you say that there is a new aging reversal project?" I'd love to visit that if I could, and I just hope that the request doesn't bother you. ”

"Not at all, it's an honor."

Chen Chen nodded, "Since you want to see it, then I naturally want to do my best to be a landlord." ”

As he spoke, Chen Chen gave Cheng Chao on the side a look, and took the lead in turning around and walking outside the laboratory.

……

The so-called satellite, if nothing else, is part of Gantz's transmission technology.

Chen Chen's goal is to use five Gantz satellites to fully cover every corner of the earth, and then as long as a few more huge Gantz servers are built, Chen Chen can rely on Gantz technology to transmit around the world without delay.

At that time, Chen Chen will initially gain the strength to confront the Earth Federation......

And the reason why Chen Chen borrowed Musk's hand to launch a satellite is actually very simple.

With Chen Chen's current USB flash drive energy, he can absorb at most a small Bugatti spacecraft of this level, but although this kind of aircraft is flexible and can even sail in the universe wantonly, it can't afford the weight of the Gantz satellite at all.

Although Chen Chen applied for aerospace qualifications in Namibia and has the interstellar spacecraft technology obtained by the "Elysium Space" plane, after all, he does not have any foundation related to the aerospace industry, and it is impossible to put a ten-ton satellite from the ground into the sky from scratch in just a few months.

Therefore, Chen Chen will not be able to send the Gantz satellite into geosynchronous orbit on his own for at least one or two years, and if Chen Chen wants to launch the satellite, he must entrust it to other space agencies.

As the world's best private space company, Musk's SpaceX is naturally a good target.

And this time, Chen Chen may not have the idea of pulling Musk into his camp.

As everyone got into the car again, the group of three cars turned around and drove in the direction of Life Science City, but gradually, the bodyguard next to Musk suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Because, the bodyguards in the other two cars disappeared when they passed a fork in the road.

"Boss, there is a problem......

The bodyguard whispered a reminder in Musk's ear, and then he slowly reached into his pocket.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do it."

However, before the bodyguard could touch the firearm in his pocket, Chen Chen, who was in the co-pilot seat, suddenly turned his head and glanced at him with a smile.

In the next second, the bodyguard suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, as if something gently stabbed him, he was shocked, but before he could come back to his senses, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he immediately lost consciousness......

All this was lightning, and Musk watched in amazement as an anesthetic needle slowly pulled out of the bodyguard's neck, and at the same time flew into Chen Chen's palm out of thin air, and was put away by Chen Chen.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?"

Musk's expression was gloomy, "I don't seem to have offended you, do I?" Are you going to do it to me just because I don't want to join God's forbidden zone? ”

"You're mistaken."

Chen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent expression, "I have no intention of harming you, the reason why I am doing this is just to keep it secret, after all, you will see the true secret of our God's forbidden area later......"

"The real secret?"

Musk's expression was solemn, he looked out the window at the busy life science city area, and then he was slightly relieved, "I hope so." ”

Chen Chen smiled and didn't explain too much.

Soon, Cheng Chao, as the driver, drove the Rolls-Royce to the underground garage of a 5A-level office building.

Suddenly, seeing that the surroundings were in such a hidden place again, Musk couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

However, this time, after the car was officially parked in the parking space, Chen Chen and Cheng Chao got out of the car first, and at the same time, Cheng Chao also intimately helped Musk in the back row open the car door.

Musk got out of the car with some reluctance, and suddenly a damp and cold musty smell pierced his nose, making him can't help but sneeze.

"Please follow me."

Chen Chen nodded at the other party and walked towards the elevator on the side first.

Musk hesitated slightly, he looked at Cheng Chao who was staring at him, so he had to sigh secretly and slowly followed.

In this way, a group of three people entered the elevator, but at the same time as the elevator was closed, no one pressed the floor button in the elevator, and the elevator moved automatically.

Moreover, the elevator is not going up, it is going down......

Feeling the declining elevator, Musk's pupils shrank, after all, the height of the elevator in just half a minute may have exceeded tens of meters.

When the elevator reached the bottom and opened again with a prompt, a 500-square-meter underground space suddenly came into Musk's eyes.

It's an empty subway platform.

The subway platform was empty, with only two tunnel trams that looked like small trains parked at the entrance of the platform.

The two tunnel trams are about 5 meters long and are made of all-alloy as a whole, with a triangular design at the front and a Blackwatch logo on the head.

Seeing this underground cave, Musk was even more surprised, he subconsciously looked into the distance along the track, but saw that except for the platform, the tunnel in the distance was all dark.

"The Hive from Resident Evil?"

Musk couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I finally understand now why I always have a sense of déjà vu......"

"No kidding, Mr. Musk."

Chen Chen was the first to step on the tunnel tram, "The hive is not as hidden and complicated as this underground base I built. ”

"I want to see it too."

Musk replied, and immediately got on the tram as well.

When he stood still, he heard the sizzling of electricity, and the tram started slowly on its own and began to move towards the end of the tunnel.

Unlike the tunnel tram in Resident Evil, Chen Chen's tunnel tram is obviously much more humane, with not only three rows of seats, but also a super-large LCD monitor, on which the Chinese version of "Crayon Xiaoxin" is constantly playing.

Watching crayon Xiaoxin in the gloomy and depressing tunnel tram is also a different flavor.

The tunnel tram was extremely fast, but it took only a few minutes to reach the end of the trip.

When Musk got off the train again, he was greeted by a subway platform that was almost the same as the previous platform.

Different from the previous platform, there is a circular tunnel at the end of the platform, the center of the tunnel is the alloy gate of the two elevators, and next to the corridor, there are three other passages, which lead to three subway platforms in other directions.

In other words, there are three entrances to the surface of Life Science City, in addition to the previously known parking lots.

As soon as Musk saw it, he immediately understood.

Ignoring Musk's observations, when Chen Chen walked to the elevator door in the corridor, the elevator door opened, revealing an elevator room with a larger space.

This time, without Cheng Chao's compulsion, Musk entered the elevator again, and this time, Musk clearly felt that the elevator was beginning to descend at a more alarming speed.

After several twists and turns, in Musk's increasingly strong shock, the three finally stepped into the interior of the spire experimental base.
