The Vicissitudes of Life Chapter 23 The Invitation of the City Lord
In the city lord's office, Han Chenggang and Luo Zhongfa both fell silent for a while, the situation became more and more serious, Han Chenggang put down the coffee cup, stood up, and then broke the silence, looked at Luo Zhongfa, and asked in a deep voice:
"How long will the food in the city last?"
"If you save a little, half a year at most..."
Luo Zhongfa thought for a while and replied a little hesitantly.
"There's not much time left for us~"
Han Chenggang paced slowly in the office, while talking to himself, now the nearly two million people in the city have to rely on him to live, if he is trapped in the city in the future and can't get out of the city, and can no longer transport grain from the grain depot outside the city, then soon the steel city will collapse from the inside.
Luo Zhongfa felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he shifted to other topics, took a sip of tea, and said:
"Chief, the young man who just came to the city a few days ago, should we talk to him, just the young man who moved a city brick by himself, I heard that the people of the Light and Dark Alliance, and the people of the Star Moon God Sect all went to woo him, but he refused, Shi Feng of the Gu family was drunk with him the day before yesterday, but then I also heard that he did not join the Gu family."
Han Chenggang also nodded slightly, his face softened a little, and said softly:
"That young man is really good, I didn't contact him too early, but I also want to test his heart, a person who is not strong-willed, can't resist the temptation, even if he has the ability, he can't take on the heavy responsibility, if he understands the situation of this steel city, and chooses any of these three forces, I don't think he has the responsibility and responsibility for the survival of all mankind, if he doesn't have this responsibility and responsibility, even if he is brought over, it may be a disaster, in my eyes, it is not worth me to see him."
"Or the chief's intentions are far-reaching~"
Luo Zhongfa slapped his ass silently.
"The second thing I called you over today is to see if this young man can help us share some responsibilities."
After Han Chenggang finished speaking, he sat down again, took a sip of coffee, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Yes, chief, I'll arrange for that young man to come over now~"
Luo Zhongfa hurriedly got up and said, and then walked out of the office a few steps.
Hua Yan was using his soul energy to warm up the golden Buddha at the moment in his residence, and he wanted to rebuild a weapon for himself as soon as possible, when a doorbell rang, but it was Luo Zhongfa who brought two young officers to follow behind and came to invite Hua Yan.
After Hua Yan opened the courtyard door, he saw a major general in his fifties who was a little bald standing at the door, and there were two young officers behind him, at this time he probably guessed the purpose of these people, and he was also relieved that the city lord had finally come to invite him.
"Little brother Hua Yan, I am Luo Zhongfa, the director of the logistics department in this city, entrusted by the city lord, I invite the little brother to the city lord's mansion office for a talk, I don't know if I can appreciate it."
After Luo Zhongfa saw Hua Yan open the door and come out at the gate of the courtyard, he first saluted a military salute, and then said with a smile.
Director of Logistics? Hua Yan was stunned in his heart, it turned out that his nephew was corrupt in the children's welfare home, making those children hungry, Hua Yan felt a little awkward, but he didn't show it on his face, and quickly said politely to Luo Zhongfa:
"The lord of the city invited, the kid was honored, but I didn't expect the labor director to be a big man, I'm really ashamed, ashamed~"
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Hua Yan first went back to the house and took a big black jar, and then followed Luo Zhongfa to the office of the City Lord's Mansion, but at the door of the office, Hua Yan was stopped by Hong Zhan, the office secretary, who asked Hua Yan to open the black jar and check it.
This made Hua Yan's face embarrassed, the jar was Zhou Fangzhi's brain tissue, and there was radioactivity, it must be dangerous goods when checked, maybe it would bring him some crime, then it would be a big trouble.
"This thing is very important, I must personally send it to the city lord, this jar cannot be opened until I see the lord of the city, I guarantee that this jar will not harm the safety of the lord of the city."
Facing Hong Zhan's obstruction, Hua Yan deliberately amplified his voice and said at the door of the city lord's office.
"Hong Zhan, let him in~"
At this time, a deep voice came from the office, and then Hong Zhan didn't say anything more, and took Hua Yan and Luo Zhongfa into the office together, and after coming in, he didn't go out, but followed Han Chenggang's side inch by inch.
Then Han Chenggang, Hua Yan and Luo Zhongfa all sat down at the conference table, Hua Yan and Luo Zhongfa sat on either side of Han Chenggang, and a young female secretary came in from outside and gave each of them a cup of green tea.
"The city lord invited, the kid was flattered, and if he had an order, he would go all out."
After Hua Yan sat down, he first put the black jar on the conference table, and then spoke, facing Han Chenggang's majesty, Hua Yan felt an invisible pressure, it was a natural momentum of a person who had been in a high position for a long time, and he felt that he was like a transparent one in front of this gray-haired and resolute old man.
Han Chenggang looked at Hua Yan, bowed slightly, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and then said:
"Your name is Hua Yan, your father Hua Zhenyue, and your mother Qin Shuhui, right~"
"Hmm!"
Hua Yan nodded and responded, but he was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the city lord's intelligence work to be so terrifying.
"You don't have to be too surprised, your father is amazing, and your mother, they have all made great contributions to the country and made great sacrifices for the people, just because it is related to state secrets, many things are not easy to interfere with, and your family has suffered a lot of grievances over the years, and I am also the reason for my position, I can access the secret information of some countries,"
After Han Chenggang saw Hua Yan's expression change, he smiled slightly, put down the cup, and said kindly.
"Don't call me any city lord in the future, just call me Uncle Han."
"Don't dare!"
Hua Yan hurriedly stood up and spoke.
A loving smile appeared on Han Chenggang's face, waved his hand to Hua Yan, motioned for him to sit down, and then said in a hearty voice:
"What dare you dare, in my eyes, as long as we are dedicated to the people and all mankind, we are all a family, and a family does not need to engage in those kind words that are vain."
"Okay then, Uncle Han~"
Hua Yan scratched his hair with one hand, sat down again with a smile and said.
After seeing Hua Yan sit down again, Luo Zhongfa next to him pointed to the black jar in front of Hua Yan and said:
"Little brother Hua Yan, what is in this black jar of yours? Behold your mystery. ”
This is Han Chenggang also looking at Hua Yan with some curiosity.
Finally entered today's topic, Hua Yan secretly thought, he had been trying to quickly promote the commission of Zhou Fangzhi's predecessors since he came to Hope Town, and when he heard the black jar, Hua Yan hurriedly said:
"Uncle Han, Director Luo, this thing is a strange thing, and it can be said that it is related to the fate of all ...... of our human race."
Hua Yan began to talk about the strange lake and Zhou Fangzhi's brain tissue, and then told Han Chenggang about Zhou Fangzhi's commission.
"There are such strange people and wonders!"
Han Chenggang and Luo Zhongfa both showed shocked expressions after hearing this, and Hong Zhan, who had been standing beside Han Chenggang, also looked incredible at this time.
"Uncle Han, as long as you let go of your consciousness and communicate with this black jar, everything will be clear."
After Hua Yan spat and splattered for a long time, he was a little thirsty, picked up the cup and drank a large sip of tea, and continued.
"Chief, why don't I try it first?"
When Hong Zhan next to him heard what Hua Yan said, he saluted in front of Han Chenggang, and then said.
Han Chenggang smiled and waved his hand.
"No, I believe that this kid Hua Yan can't have malicious intentions towards me."
Then Han Chenggang began to rein in his mind, let go of his consciousness, and communicated with the black jar, and soon he established contact with Zhou Fangzhi, and also built a soul key, with the help of efficient communication of brain networking, the two exchanged a lot of information in a short period of time, and Han Chenggang's face began to emerge with excitement that had not been seen for many years, and even had a hint of fanaticism.
The information of the science and technology industry, as well as those mechanical armor, chariots, etc., made Han Chenggang realize that this was a major turning point in the fate of mankind, with the protection of those mechanical armor, maybe ordinary people would no longer have to cower in this city all the time, and the food problem that he was still having a headache in front of him would be solved.
After communicating with that black jar, Han Chenggang couldn't help but feel very happy in his heart, and then said in a somewhat excited tone:
"Lao Luo, Hong Zhan, you should also hurry up and communicate with Dr. Zhou Fangzhi, in the future, our communications, science and technology, intelligence, industry, etc. will all depend on him."
"Yes! Heads! ”
Luo Zhongfa and Hong Zhan responded in unison, and then they both began to communicate with the black jar with some expectation, and after a while, both of them were also happy, and they rubbed their hands excitedly.
Han Chenggang waited for the excitement of the two of them to pass, and immediately ordered majestically:
"Hong Zhan, you go and inform all the division chiefs, ministers, that the meeting will be held tomorrow morning."
"Yes! Heads! ”
Hong Zhan immediately saluted straight, and then walked out of the office as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
"Hua Yan, you really brought Uncle Han a timely rain!"
Han Chenggang laughed a few times, and then said.
Seeing that Han Chenggang was so happy, Hua Yan was also ready to strike while the iron was hot to see if he could make some metal materials, and he also wanted to try to see if he could solve the problem of oil, after all, the intelligence work and various industrial equipment here were still much stronger than where he hoped for the town, after thinking of this, Hua Yan looked at Han Chenggang and said solemnly:
"Don't hide it from Uncle Han, I came from Hope Town, there are still sixty or seventy thousand people over there, and there is already a certain industrial base, and the mechanical armor I wore when I came was just manufactured, but where the population is smaller, there is a lack of many metal materials, and the most important thing is that there is no oil, and many basic industrial raw materials cannot be produced, otherwise more advanced mechanical armor and combat vehicles can be produced."
"I don't know if Uncle Han has a way in these aspects, we hope that the town is willing to merge with the Steel City and become a satellite city of the Steel City, and we are also willing to go all out to support the further construction of the Steel City."
