Pang Xuelin smiled, didn't care about the eyes of the two assistants, and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the hotel first." ”

For the next few days, Pang Xuelin stayed patiently at the hotel.

The PDC held several closed-door meetings, but never gave a clear answer.

Pang Xuelin is not in a hurry, and goes to PIA from time to time to take a look.

He asked Zhang Beihai to go to PIA and serve as the liaison between the Office of the Wall Faces of the Ladder Project and PIA.

Originally, Pang Xuelin wanted to see if Zhang Beihai and Vader could have any chemical reaction when they met.

As a result, Zhang Beihai still looked cold, and he didn't care about Weide at all.

However, Vader was quite interested in the Chinese soldier sent by Pang Xuelin.

Perhaps, from Zhang Beihai, he smelled the breath of the same kind.

Yun Tianming has been doing relevant training for the ladder plan, Cheng Xin went to visit once, and came back to tell Pang Xuelin that Yun Tianming seemed to have become more withdrawn.

Pang Xuelin just smiled faintly and didn't pay attention.

It wasn't until a week later, when the second face-to-wall plan hearing was held, that Garnin informed Pang Xuelin of the final decision of the PDC.

"Professor Pang, based on the principles of the Wall Facing Project, any questioning of the Wall Facing is not allowed. However, in order to ensure that the overall wall plan is not off track, PDC has made the following resolution: in the next three years, PDC can provide you with 200 billion US dollars for the construction of your envisioned Science City, the first batch of 100 billion US dollars will be received within a month, and the second batch of funds will be received a year later. Three years later, PDC will provide no less than $50 billion a year in research funding at the current exchange rate. In addition, the Government of Ecuador is willing to transfer the Galapagos Islands to your control. The Galapagos Islands have a total area of more than 7,000 square kilometers, which is less than your request of 10,000 square kilometers, but it should be enough. Of course, sovereignty over the islands still belongs to the Ecuadorian government, and you have the right to appoint and dismiss the relevant officials of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the island. That is, from now on you have become the governor of the Galapagos Islands. ”

After a pause, Garnin continued: "In addition, in view of the fact that you have already retrieved the maximum amount of resources available within the scope of the wall plan, any proposals related to the wall plan that you propose in the future will be funded by you, and the PDC only reserves the right to supervise the plan and will not provide any financial support. ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Yes, but I have one more request." ”

"What requirements?"

Garnin was slightly stunned.

Pang Xuelin said: "In the future, any product produced in the Galapagos Islands will be exempt from tariffs worldwide. ”

Garnin opened his mouth, just about to say no.

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "The Galapagos Islands are already equivalent to a special scientific research and political entity, we can't survive on the PDC's appropriation, we have to do something of our own, otherwise the annual funding of 50 billion US dollars may not be enough!" ”

At this time, the representative of the United States said: "Professor Pang, your request is a bit sudden, and we need to discuss it again within the PDC." ”

Pang Xuelin smiled: "How many days can you give me an answer?" ”

The representative of the United States said: "In a few days, you can go to the meditation room and wait, we will hold a small meeting within the PDC, and we will be able to give you an answer soon." ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Sure enough, less than an hour later, Garnin called Pang Xuelin over, and the PDC agreed to Pang Xuelin's request in principle, but the specific agreement still needs to be signed after Pang Xuelin forms a government agency in the Galapagos Islands.

……

"This is the Galapagos Islands!"

Cheng Xin sat on a small business jet and looked curiously at the dotted islands below.

The Galapagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean, 1,000 kilometers west of the South American mainland, with an archipelago area of more than 7,500 square kilometers, consisting of 13 small islands and 19 rocky reefs formed by the solidification of lava from submarine volcanic eruptions.

The diverse climate of the archipelago and the special natural environment of the volcanic landform allow animals and plants of different living habits to grow and reproduce on this land at the same time.

It is a place where exotic flowers and plants gather, rare birds and monsters gather, and is known as a "living museum of biological evolution".

Darwin visited the city in 1835, which led him to develop his famous theory of biological evolution.

The destination of Pang Xuelin and his group is Isabela Island, the largest island in the Galapagos Islands.

Isabela Island runs north-south, nearly 100 kilometers long, and an average width of about 40 kilometers from east to west, with a total area of 4,600 square kilometers.

But from the southern to the northern tip of the island, there are five volcanoes, namely the Azul, Negra, Alquito, Darwin and the northernmost Volcano, Wolf.

Of these, Wolfe Volcano is active, and the remaining few are extinct volcanoes.

The plane landed in the southern part of the island, in the port of Vigliamil, where there is a small airport.

As soon as they got off the plane, everyone felt a cool sea breeze blowing, and there was no stuffiness as expected.

Although Isabela is located at the equator, the sea and land temperatures in the Galapagos Islands are not high due to the influence of the cold Peruvian currents.

The average annual temperature on the island is 25 degrees Celsius.

The precipitation is also not large, so it is suitable for travel in all seasons.

In addition to Pang Xuelin and his team of wall-facers, there were also designers from China Communications Construction Corporation, China National Nuclear Corporation and some well-known European architectural design institutes.

Pang Xuelin is planning to establish a port city with a total population of hundreds of thousands of people near the port of Vilia Mill, focusing on scientific research, and the early infrastructure construction will naturally be handed over to China, which is known as the infrastructure madman.

The most important advance project is the construction of infrastructure such as airports, ports, and nuclear power plants.

Among them, the total investment of the nuclear power plant is 8 billion US dollars, and it is planned to build and install four 1.25 million kilowatt nuclear power units, which can reach a total installed capacity of 5 million kilowatts after full completion, which is enough for a city to operate.

As for the airport, Pang Xuelin is ready to use the method of land reclamation to build it.

The volcanic structure of Isabela Island, including the extinct volcano Mount Azul, which reaches an altitude of more than 1,600 meters, is very suitable for the construction of an electromagnetic orbital launch system.

Therefore, the space in the plains under the volcano is very valuable, and Pang Xuelin does not want to let facilities such as airports crowd it out.

At present, the total population of Isabela Island is just over 2,000, and most of them are engaged in the service industry, mainly tourism, because the island has been transferred from the Ecuadorian government to Pang Xuelin.

In the next few years, immigrants from all over the world will come here to build a megacity that Pang Xuelin imagined.

Of course, it will take at least three years for the city to really take shape.

If you want to really get it up and running, you'll have to wait until five years from now.

……

"Kante, I'll leave it to you for the time being!"

"Professor Pang, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

After inspecting Isabela Island for a whole week, Pang Xuelin chose to leave.

Before leaving, Pang Xuelin left Kanter on Isabela Island.

Next, China Communications Construction and other companies will enter the construction site one after another, and Pang Xuelin has 100 billion US dollars in cash, coupled with his status as a Chinese, he has received strong support from the Chinese government.

Pang Xuelin needs someone to stay behind and oversee the construction of the future city that Pang Xuelin named Star Ring City.

N'Golo Kante is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.
