Chapter 219: The First Proceeds
Liu Hui's cultivation broke through the introductory period of cultivation and entered the foundation period of cultivation. For a while, the true yuan and spiritual power in his body began to explode, and he actually broke through some shackles, causing a trace of abnormal changes in his brain, and the phantom of a Buddha-robed monk emerged.
By the time Liu Hui realized that something was wrong with the situation, the phantom monk had already disappeared without a trace, and no matter how hard he tried to find it, he could no longer find the slightest clue about the phantom monk.
Liu Hui was shocked, he had always been very calm, but he didn't expect that a monk's phantom would suddenly appear in his mind, and he was sure that he had never seen this phantom monk before. He didn't know what this meant, but he knew that this monk phantom would not appear in his brain for no reason, and there must be some internal reason for the appearance of the monk's phantom that he did not understand for the time being.
After searching carefully, Liu Hui never found any information related to that monk in his mind. Liu Hui didn't have any good ways to deal with this situation, and it was impossible to discuss this kind of thing with others, plus the phantom of this monk only appeared and disappeared, and it didn't have any effect on his body, so he simply didn't think about anything, lest not only could not solve the problem but suddenly became annoying. He put his mind at ease, and soon fell into a deep sleep with the joy of breaking through the realm of cultivation and the doubt that the phantom of the monk suddenly appeared.
The next day, when Liu Hui opened his eyes, he felt that his situation was a little different from usual, he sat up from the bed, looked straight out of the window, and was silent for a long time. Hu Xian'er next to her saw that Liu Hui's behavior was a little strange, and she asked a little strangely: "Buffalo, what's wrong with you?" Did something happen? ”
Liu Hui said with some hesitation: "I have a strange feeling in my heart, it tells me that I may have forgotten some things, and these things should be very important to me, but no matter how I think about it, I can't remember what I have forgotten." ”
Hu Xian'er smiled: "Buffalo, I think you must be too tired during this time, that's why you feel this way." Why don't you take a long vacation and take a good rest, so that you can remember the things you have forgotten. ”
Liu Hui smiled bitterly: "Maybe that's the case!" But he had been thinking about it in his heart, and he had a very strange feeling that what he had forgotten must be very important to him, although he did not know what it was.
The first night, when Liu Hui broke through the realm, a phantom image of a Buddha-robed monk suddenly appeared in his brain, and then the next morning he felt as if he had forgotten something important. This strange feeling made Liu Hui very distressed, and he didn't know why he had such a strange phenomenon. Because he couldn't figure it out anyway, Liu Hui simply didn't think about it anymore, anyway, there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, and the waterway bridge was naturally straight, if something really happened at that time, then try to solve it.
So Liu Hui didn't take this matter too seriously, but after Hu Xian'er's reminder, he noticed such a fact. That is, in the two and a half years since he arrived in Hong Kong, except for the Chinese New Year holiday and the month of his wedding, he has basically worked hard and has not let himself go for a long time. Is it because I am too tired that I am hallucinating? If this is the case, then should you also give yourself a long vacation to adjust your mood?
However, Liu Hui finally put this mind down, and he always paid attention to the development of the Star Group. In reality, he was a little overwhelmed by the pressures of all parties, and only after the successful construction of the Starry Sky City could he breathe a sigh of relief.
On this day, Liu Hui came to the construction control center of Starry Sky City, and he was listening to Chen Changsheng's report on the construction progress of Starry Sky City.
"Boss, the construction of our Star City has greatly improved its construction progress since the Spring Festival this year, under the emphasis of the boss. It is expected that by the end of this year, we will be able to expand the area of the offshore platform in the City of Stars to thirty square kilometers. ”
"With the improvement of the construction schedule, will there be any problems in terms of quality?" Liu Hui asked, did he know that in China, some projects often shorten the construction period for various reasons, but that often means that there will be all kinds of quality problems.
"Rest assured, boss, there will be absolutely no problems with the quality of our build. This is mainly because the boss's investment in Starry Sky City has begun to rise significantly, and some of the projects we plan in the future have been built in advance, so the construction progress has been accelerated, but this has nothing to do with quality at all. Chen Changsheng said.
"And what's going on with the platform below the sea?" Liu Hui asked, the height of the previous platform plus the part below the sea surface was only ten meters, and now the area of the entire platform has expanded dramatically, which makes him a little worried about whether the structure of the entire platform will be too fragile.
"Boss, when we were building the offshore platform, we actually started the thickening work of the platform under the seawater, but our thickening work under the seawater was not discovered. As of yesterday, the entire platform is up to 50 meters high, and its current architecture is very balanced and sturdy. It's just that because we have done some technical processing, the thickened part of the sea has not surfaced, and no one has noticed that our platform is already so high. Chen Changsheng said.
Liu Hui asked, "So how big is our offshore platform now?" ”
"The area of the offshore platform that has been built has reached 11 square kilometers, and if it continues at this rate, then the mission target of 30 square kilometers can be completed by the end of the year." Chen Changsheng said.
"In the previous plan, there should have been a part of the land that could be used now, right?" Liu Hui asked.
"That's right, in our previous plan, as long as the construction area of Starry Sky City exceeds ten square kilometers, we can set aside a part of the land on it to build a factory, so we can now take out two square kilometers of land for the boss to use." Chen Changsheng said with a smile, this starry sky city project has developed to the present, and Liu Hui has secretly invested more than 200 billion US dollars in huge funds, but the only thing worth being happy about now is that this starry sky city can finally produce some benefits.
Liu Hui asked, "The outside of these two square kilometers of land must be surrounded by those construction factories, right?" If that's the case, isn't it noisy around the land? ”
Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Boss, except for large factories such as steel mills and shipyards, the other small and medium-sized subsidiary construction factories are actually not fixed on the Starry Sky City, and they will continue to advance towards the construction front line with the construction progress of the entire Starry Sky City. So, by the time the factories on your land are successfully built, the ancillary construction plants around them will have already moved out with the expansion of the offshore platform, and will not affect the production of the factories at all. Moreover, even those large factories that are fixed on top of the Star City can be disassembled from the Star City by the fixed pedestals under them, which means that they can be moved when the construction progress of the Star City reaches a certain level. ”
Liu Hui was overjoyed and said, "Do you mean that after my construction on these two square kilometers of land is completed, all the affiliated construction factories surrounding him will leave, and then they will not disturb this building?" ”
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed the case. ”
Liu Hui asked again: "In the previous plan, what type of land was designed for this land you provided?" ”
Chen Changsheng looked at the design drawings on the table and said, "The piece of land we are building now will be built into a medical and health center in Starry Sky City in the future. This is also because we take into account that the Star Group started with biomedicine, so we gave priority to the construction of this medical and health plot. ”
Liu Hui thought for a moment and said, "So at the end of this year, how much construction land can Starry Sky City provide for me?" ”
Chen Changsheng calculated again and said: "At the end of the year, the area of the offshore platform in Starry Sky City can reach thirty square kilometers, and without affecting the progress of the entire work, we can provide the boss with ten square kilometers of construction land." ”
Liu Hui was overjoyed and asked, "Have the natural landscapes of those lands been established?" ”
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "Our current focus is on how to expand the construction area of Starry Sky City as much as possible, so the construction speed of these attached natural landscapes is a little slower, but we will build these natural landscapes according to the requirements in the design drawings at the right time." ”
Liu Hui touched his chin and asked, "Can the security of Starry Sky City be guaranteed now?" ”
Chen Changsheng said: "Now the construction of our Star City is still in the first stage, so it is only built off the coast of Budai Ao, Hong Kong, and the safety of the Star City can be guaranteed at this time, after all, there is the deterrence of the Hong Kong Garrison." But the construction of our starry sky city will enter the second stage next year, when the entire construction volume will be ten times larger than now, then it is not suitable for construction in the offshore area at that time, we must drive this offshore platform to the open sea, only the wide environment of the high seas can accommodate such a huge amount of construction, and at that time, the safety of the starry sky city can only be solved by ourselves. ”
Liu Hui asked, "Then are you ready?" ”
Chen Changsheng said: "Boss, we have prepared in advance. We showed you the technology of electromagnetic guns and laser weapons before, and at that time they still had some flaws. However, these deficiencies have been greatly improved in recent times, so that the electromagnetic cannon and laser weapons are now ready for actual combat. When the time comes, we will install electromagnetic cannons and laser weapons on the Star City offshore platform, and we will be able to shoot down the attacks of planes and missiles from the sky. In the same way, any attack from the sea will not be able to get close to us, after all, the powerful combat power of the electromagnetic cannon will destroy any ship at a distance of 200 kilometers, so we already have some self-protection. ”
Liu Hui asked, "So how to ensure the safety under the seabed?" ”
Chen Changsheng said: "Boss, our Starry Sky No. 1 super submarine has formed combat effectiveness, and the two electromagnetic cannons on it can destroy any submarine and torpedo that approaches us from under the bottom of the sea from a distance of fifty kilometers. And our Starry Sky 2 is about to be completed, and four electromagnetic guns are installed on it, so when it also forms combat effectiveness, the bottom of our Starry Sky City will also be as stable as a rock under the protection of these two super submarines. ”
Liu Hui calculated in his heart that with the current electromagnetic cannon and laser weapons, plus two super submarines, he could indeed make Starry Sky City have the ability to protect itself in a small area. However, even if these electromagnetic cannons, laser weapons and super submarines are unreliable in the end, he also has a super killer feature - Xiao Hei, after the Starry Sky City has the protection of Xiao Hei, it is basically invincible in the ocean. It's just a pity that Xiao Hei only has one, and there are many places that need to be defended, but this problem can only be solved by strengthening force in the future.
So Liu Hui asked: "Since this is the case, then I will now relocate our new factory to the Star City, and the safety of this new factory should be protected, right?" ”
Chen Changsheng said: "Theoretically, but if the US Navy comes to deal with us, then we are definitely not their opponents." ”
Liu Hui said with a smile: "Dean Chen has thought too far, what you said is just an extreme situation, which will not occur under normal circumstances." However, at our current pace of development, as long as we are given time, our strength can grow rapidly, and when the time comes, even if the US Navy is dispatched, we will not be afraid of them. ”
Chen Changsheng also smiled, and he suddenly said, "Boss, Starry Sky No. 1 has returned yesterday. This time, they added some maps of the Pacific seabed topography and mineral deposits, but this voyage did not detect any large mineral deposits, except for the large distribution of mineral deposits detected on the second voyage. ”
Liu Hui laughed in his heart, the reason why Starry Sky No. 1 was able to discover so many seabed mineral deposits on the last voyage was entirely because he had already learned the specific distribution of those mineral deposits through Xiao Hei, and then let them explore in these designated places, so there was a huge development. If he just relied on Starry Sky No. 1 to detect it himself, it was likely that he would not even be able to find a single mineral deposit, did Chen Changsheng think that the bottom of the sea was really full of wealth?
After Liu Hui discovered several submarine super giant mines last time, he continued to send Xiao Hei out to look for mining sites on the vast Pacific Ocean floor. Under Xiao Hei's efficient exploration, he has now found several medium-sized ore veins, although they are not as large as the previous ones, but their total reserves are also very amazing.
So Liu Hui smiled and said, "Dean Chen, the sea is so big, can we find those large veins there every time?" You should be able to understand the meaning of the phrase "looking for a needle in a haystack" by now, right? ”
Chen Changsheng said: "Now it is true that we are looking for a needle in a haystack, but now we are the only ones looking for a needle in a haystack, so as long as we start early, we can still get great benefits." ”
Then Chen Changsheng became happy, and he smiled: "Although Starry Sky No. 1 didn't find any huge veins this time, it found a Dutch treasure ship under the eight-thousand-meter deep sea. On the treasure ship, they found more than a ton of gold and various gold coins, as well as varying quantities of silver and silverware, as well as some porcelain and miscellaneous items. ”
Liu Hui was really overjoyed this time, and he asked, "Did they really find a ton of gold?" ”
Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Naturally, it's true, those gold, silver, porcelain and other miscellaneous items are now piled up in the warehouse of our scientific research institute, and some of our researchers are sorting them out!" They were going to sort these things for safekeeping, after all, some of them had become antiques, and their value far exceeded the price of gold and silver. ”
Liu Hui said with a smile: "This is the first tangible benefit we have obtained since we launched deep-sea exploration. ”
Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Yes, but this is just the beginning, as our deep-sea submarines continue to be launched, our ocean-going range will be larger and larger, and the seabed they can detect will be wider and wider, and then all the treasures buried in the shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea will be ours." ”
Liu Hui said: "Yes, not only these deep-sea treasures, but also those minerals in the deep-sea will also be ours. By the way, how is your deep-sea city construction project going? ”
Chen Changsheng scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "We still have a few technologies in progress, so it has slowed down the progress of the entire project, but as long as these technologies are mature, this plan to build a city under the sea can be officially launched." ”
Liu Hui said: "This project is very important to me, so you have to put more energy into it. As long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, I can help you solve it. ”
Chen Changsheng said: "Okay, we will definitely speed up the progress of the project." However, after managing this undersea city project, I began to notice a problem within us. ”
