Since a few months ago, the flower growers began to trade iron ore and steel resources with Atlantis through the Chu Group.

Low-cost iron ore resources and bulk steel purchase agreements have greatly improved the problem of excess capacity in the domestic steel industry chain and accelerated the merger and reorganization of the domestic steel industry.

Affected by this, the international iron ore price is slowly declining, and the four major mining groups have been greatly impacted.

In addition, the domestic industrial processing accuracy of the flower family is rapidly improving for some reason, and the number of finishing equipment imported from abroad is declining significantly.

What is even more surprising is the development of the other party in the field of science and technology.

In the virtual world of the science and technology tree, the scientists of the flower planters have shown an amazing speed of scientific and technological digestion, and various new technologies have emerged one after another, and a number of major breakthroughs have been made in the fields of chip technology, pharmaceuticals, engines, display panels, semiconductors, etc.!

Adhering to the low-key principle of flower growers, the research and development progress of these technologies was not fully disclosed at the beginning, but recently with the marketization and industrial application of a large number of new technologies, this has been slowly exposed.

This astonishing speed of scientific research has even surpassed that of the United States, and the whole world is amazed and can't help but exclaim, "The wolf is coming"!

Plus this space elevator...... Although the follow-up evaluation is still ongoing, once the elevator is opened, then the flower planters who are within the radiation circle of the space elevator will definitely be one of the biggest beneficiaries!

This series of changes has forced the United States to pay more and more attention to the competitor around it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we must be vigilant, the many technological benefits of the flower planter have increased our trade deficit with the other party by 3% last month, which is a very dangerous signal!"

"The flower planter has been unable to cause the anomaly, and we have not discovered the anomaly until recently, but there is something wrong with their development speed, and your intelligence department has not heard any useful information?" The Minister of Defense frowned.

"Yes! Not long ago, we sacrificed several elite spies to finally get a top-secret document!

It is said that it has a 1,000-member scientific research group composed of elite scientists in China, and the scientific research progress in the virtual technology tree world is very amazing, and many scientific research results are contributed by them.

Their leader, codenamed 'Sixteen Scholars', has a high level of secrecy and a mysterious identity! "The head of the Ministry of Intelligence.

"Sixteen Bachelors? It is impossible for an ordinary scientific research group to have such strength, to investigate, at any cost must find out the secret of this scientific research group! ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, after deducting the military expenses this time, the remaining infinite coins have arrived...... Our country's procurement list needs to be finalized as soon as possible, and those high-level technologies or items of Captain Ghost will help us achieve a certain lead, so we must choose carefully! The Minister of Defense said.

According to the level that Nie Yun divided into science and technology, the current level of science and technology on the earth is only D-level, and the purchase list he provided is basically about C-level technology or items, except for some sensitive military technologies, most of them are technologies that are less than 100 years ahead of the earth.

"This ...... Congress is inclined to buy biotech! Someone's eyes twinkled.

"Huh? Congress? The Minister of Defense quickly figured out the key to this.

For Nie Yun's biotechnology, it is not only General Hu and them who are staring at it, for a period of time, almost all the big forces in the world have not given up their overt or covert peeps at it, or rather...... A peek into immortality!

In addition to being able to cure most of the human body's diseases, some people have also tried to make a wish ...... "increase lifespan"!

As a result, Zhi Brain actually accepted it, but it offered a sky-high price of 200,000 unlimited coins per person, which directly discouraged everyone.

Even if many countries have made so much money in this mercenary mission, these unlimited coins are not private property, and public property is used to satisfy personal desires, and I am afraid that no one dares to do this except for absolute dictators.

Even if you are a dictator, if you show this idea, believe it or not, you will be overthrown by the army the next day!

Even if no one can consume it at the moment, it is known to the whole world...... Captain Ghost has a life-increasing biotech!

And Captain Ghost does have some low-level biotechnology in his shopping list, but most of what they can afford at the moment are some technologies in the biomedical field, which can only increase the health of the human body.

Even so, it is still a fatal temptation for some of the senior members of the dying family......

Even if I can't increase my life expectancy now, at least let me live for two more years to save enough money! That's what most people think.

"Humph! A group of old kings! "The Minister of Defense despised in his heart.

"Hmmm! Biotechnology has always been a traditional area of strength in my country, okay, I seconded this plan! He was righteous and awe-inspiring!

……

Just when the earth was disturbed by the appearance of space elevators, the Atlantis spaceport ushered in its first transportation mission......

In the cosmic void, a faint blue light came from the direction of the moon and gradually approached the spaceport.

Looking closer, it was a somewhat strange silver narrow ship, with a high-powered thruster at the tail spraying a dark blue tail flame, propelling the ship slowly towards the spaceport.

The spacecraft looks a bit like an EMU made up of cars, with a streamlined nose in front of it that reads "Earth Express" in Chinese and English.

"Snort!" Auxiliary heading adjustment jets were activated throughout the ship, and the ship slowly adjusted its attitude and approached a "dock" formed by the unfolding shell.

"Buzz!" The magnetic mechanism located at the bottom of each carriage of the spacecraft began to start, and the entire spacecraft finally suspended at a position about 2 cm above the ground and stood still, completing the set docking action!

Immediately afterward, the somewhat strange train-type spaceship slowly started, driving directly from the spaceport dock into the central area of the spaceport, and the next moment it had appeared on the long rope that reached the sky below, and the chassis was attached to the metal cable and plunged headlong into the earth.

This mechanical insect metal cable has been solidified by Nie Yun, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a metal column.

The "Earth Express" drove close to it, without physical contact, like a maglev train, rushing into the atmosphere without stopping, and the speed began to soar under the dual action of gravity and magnetism, and the shell gradually turned red......

"Oh, the cake seller! What is that?! The people below who had been closely monitoring the space elevator were stunned to find such a spectacle.

On the silver metal cable, a fiery snake was coming from the sky along the cable, disappearing into the surveillance footage in the blink of an eye, leaving only a circle of air distorted by the heat......

On the reconnaissance ship in the nearby waters below, everyone looked up at the sky in shock.

"Whoosh!" The extreme speed of more than 8 times the speed of sound stirred up a gust of wind, directly piercing a cloud through a huge hole of tens of meters!

The sunlight shone obliquely through the hollow, casting a dreamlike path of light.

"Zizi~" When the "Earth Express" is nearly 1,000 kilometers above the ground, the directional buffer magnetic field arranged on the island of Atlantis is turned on, and the principle of negative repulsion is like a spring pad, and it begins to slow down for this express train.

"Squeak!" The express train was eventually picked up by a curved track in the heart of Atlantis and gently stopped in a dedicated unloading area.

"Earth Express" ...... The first opening ended successfully! It took less than three minutes to get from the spaceport to Atlantis!

All the witnesses on the planet were almost shocked.

it! This speed ...... It's against the sky!

Is this still a space elevator? The nun girl has rubbed out the fireball!

Everyone is silently calculating in their hearts, and the airport express is ...... every 3 minutes Could it be that Captain Ghost wants to empty the entire earth?
