After planning the future development path of Star Group, Liu Hui was full of enthusiasm. At this time, he couldn't wait to own a piece of land that belonged to him completely, and on that land he would form his ideal country according to his own understanding. It's a pity that the construction of the Starry Sky City in his dream will be a long process, and it will probably take more than ten years to see the full picture of the Starry Sky City. Even the parts of the first batch of Star City that were previously booked will not arrive in Hong Kong until three days later.

Liu Hui suddenly felt a little itchy, he walked out of the Star Group and came to the submarine manufacturing factory next to the Star Group, and he found Chen Changsheng in the dock of the submarine manufacturing factory.

Chen Changsheng is a thorough scientist who is only interested in scientific research, and does not care at all about the nuclear explosion that is currently being hyped up in the world. He is now directing the construction of the submarine at the construction site with a group of scientists, and in front of them, the prototype of a huge deep-sea submarine is constantly emerging.

Chen Changsheng saw Liu Hui coming over, and hurriedly greeted him with other scientists, they could not care about what happened internationally, but it was impossible to ignore their boss.

"Dean Chen, is this the 10,000-ton manned deep-sea submarine you mentioned?" Liu Hui asked.

"Yes, boss, this submarine is the first product we produced, a deep-sea manned submarine. The submarine has a displacement of 10,500 tons and a maximum depth of 11,000 meters, which means that it can reach the deepest trench in the world, the Mariana Trench. You see its keel has been laid, in its keel, we use the latest research results - solid formation, we will arrange the solid formation in this keel, so the strength of this keel will be more than 100 times that of similar products, only in this way can it resist the strong water pressure of the deep sea. Chen Changsheng proudly pointed to the keel of the submarine and said.

Liu Hui squinted his eyes at the submarine and said, "This submarine is being built very quickly, I remember that it didn't take long for me to approve the construction of it?" ”

Chen Changsheng said proudly: "That's natural, because we used a lot of the latest technology when building this submarine. ”

"What's the latest technology?" Liu Hui asked.

"Boss, please see, that large lifting platform over there is an anti-gravity device platform we made, and we can achieve the effect of lifting heavy objects by controlling the strength of the true element of the formation. That platform can lift up to two hundred tons of heavy objects into the air at a time, and the time to lift it once is very short. And you look at the other huge mechanical arm, the power source of the mechanical arm is the fourth-level energy stone provided by the boss, and the fourth-level energy stone contains a million degrees of electricity, so we specially made a high-level motor that matches the fourth-level energy stone, with a powerful power source, this high-level motor can rotate normally, so the power of this huge robotic arm has been increased by more than ten times at once. Of course, there are some other clever use of formations, so the efficiency of our construction is very high. Except for some necessary time consumption, basically our work progress is more than ten times faster than the previously expected work progress, so we can complete the construction of a 10,000-ton submarine in only three months. Chen Changsheng said proudly.

Liu Hui listened to the legend, and he smiled: "Very good, it seems that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "That's natural, because this time to build a submarine is our first attempt to make scientific research results, so in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we still have a lot of scientific research results that have not been reflected in it." However, we believe that after the baptism of this construction, our technology will be more mature and practical, and when the time comes to upgrade these equipment, the work efficiency here will be further improved. It is believed that even if the construction of a 100,000-ton submarine is at that time, it will be completed within a few months. ”

Liu Hui listened to Chen Changsheng's words, and his heart was also very happy, he had invested a lot of effort in the scientific research institute, and now the scientific research institute has finally begun to slowly reflect the value of his existence, and this submarine is the evidence. As long as he continues to support the scientific research institute, he is confident that this scientific research institute will continue to bring him great surprises.

Liu Hui thought of the recent nuclear explosion and asked, "Dean Chen, I heard that some of your old colleagues are researching energy weapons, right?" ”

Chen Changsheng said, "Yes, Shen Lao is researching energy weapons. ”

Liu Hui said: "You also know that there was a nuclear explosion in the Indian Ocean a few days ago, so the world is not peaceful now. What if after our starry sky city is built, someone is angry and wants to snatch it, or someone launches nuclear weapons at us, and we have no ability to counter it? What's more, our 10,000-ton deep-sea submarine will also sail in the deep sea in the future, and if there is no protective weapon, how can we ensure its safety? ”

Chen Changsheng glanced left and right, then pulled Liu Hui into his office, he closed the door, and looked at Liu Hui with a smile.

"Dean Chen, what's your expression?" Liu Hui asked.

"Boss, in fact, I was about to tell you that our scientific research institute has already started the research on energy weapons, and now there are a little results." Chen Changsheng said proudly.

"Research already started? How is this possible, aren't energy weapons the most cutting-edge science? How did it come to fruition so quickly? Liu Hui asked in surprise.

"Boss, in fact, the practical energy weapons researched by the scientific community are mainly laser weapons and electromagnetic guns, as for other energy weapons such as ion weapons and particle beam weapons, they are only being studied and improved theoretically. Laser weapons and electromagnetic guns have been practiced for a long time. In particular, laser weapons have been equipped by many countries and institutions, and electromagnetic guns are close to actual combat. However, they all now face the same problem, that is, the problem of energy consumption and the problem of miniaturization have not been solved, and as long as these two problems are solved, laser weapons and electromagnetic guns can be put into real combat. Therefore, the technology of laser weapons and electromagnetic guns is not advanced, as long as there is a certain industrial base, they can be produced, and the key to the problem lies in the energy source. Chen Changsheng explained.

Liu Hui did have some understanding of laser weapons and electromagnetic guns, but it was only scratching the surface, and he did not know the details, he asked: "Dean Chen, you just said that you have achieved some results, so what are the results?" ”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Actually, when we decided to build the Starry Sky City, we considered its defense. At that time, the scientists who participated in the discussion all believed that energy weapons should be vigorously developed, because energy weapons are so powerful that they will be the mainstream weapons of future wars, and their research is also very secretive and will not attract the attention of other countries and organizations. So we set up a special research room for laser weapons and electromagnetic cannon weapons, and the research results I just mentioned are that they have made some breakthroughs in laser weapons and electromagnetic guns. ”

Liu Hui asked with great interest: "What kind of breakthrough is it?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "The previous laser weapons and electromagnetic guns have not been given the opportunity to fight, because the problem of instantaneous powerful energy consumption has not been solved, so the volume of laser weapons and electromagnetic guns has not been miniaturized and the launch is unstable. But now that we have the high-grade energy stones provided by the boss, we can solve the problem of the shortcomings of this energy weapon at once. We use the sixth-level power stone as the energy source for laser weapons and electromagnetic guns, because the sixth-level energy stones contain a huge amount of electricity of 100 million kWh, which is equivalent to the annual power generation of a small nuclear power plant, so it has enough energy to promote the high-intensity launch of laser weapons and electromagnetic guns. Because the technology of laser weapons and electromagnetic guns has been very perfect, we have installed this powerful energy source to make the first laser weapons and electromagnetic guns that can be used in actual combat. ”

"Do we already have the first laser weapon and electromagnetic cannon?" Liu Hui was pleasantly surprised.

Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Boss, we do have the first laser weapon and electromagnetic cannon that can be used in actual combat." Laser weapons are intended to be used against missile attacks from the sky, while electromagnetic guns are mainly used against enemy aircraft and ships. As for the submarines under the surface of the sea, we mainly install electromagnetic guns, and with supercavitating cephalic shells, we can attack submarines 50 kilometers away, and we can also attack torpedoes fired by the other side, so our submarines are very safe under the sea surface. However, because of the backwardness and roughness of our current production process, there are still some problems with laser weapons and electromagnetic guns, and we will further transform and upgrade them in the future. ”

Liu Hui's heart trembled and asked, "There are still some problems with them, so are they not practical now?" ”

Chen Changsheng smiled: "It's not that it's not applicable, I mean they're not perfect." Let's put it this way, if someone attacks our starry sky city with missiles now, our laser weapons can destroy those missiles at high altitudes. Of course, there are still certain problems with our laser weapons, and if the number of missiles that come at the same time exceeds five, we will not be able to destroy them all. And the electromagnetic cannon, after firing more than a thousand shells, had to be discontinued. ”

Liu Hui thought for a moment and said, "Dean Chen, you must persist in the research of this energy weapon, and the future security of our Starry Sky City depends on them." Of course, the Starry Sky City is still just a drawing, but I hope that when the Starry Sky City is built, the laser weapons and electromagnetic cannon will be perfect enough to protect our safety. What equipment you need in the research process, as long as you say it, I can help you solve it. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "We still need some research talents in related fields, and our existing talent pool is not enough to support such a large research. ”

Liu Hui said: "Don't worry about this talent problem, I will bring them to you." Even if they don't want to come, I have a way to get them to show up in your institute. ”

When Liu Hui left the submarine factory, his heart was full of joy, he had been worried about the starry sky city's own defense ability, and now he finally has a little eyebrows, as long as the laser weapon and electromagnetic cannon are finally finalized, the starry sky city will be as stable as a rock, and he will no longer be afraid of any force to deal with him. He now has a variety of high-level Warcraft crystal nuclei, and these high-level Warcraft crystal nuclei have become the energy source of various energy weapons after energy conversion, and use energy weapons in actual combat. With the protection of these energy weapons, his Starry Sky City will have powerful force to cut off the black hands of others reaching out to Starry Sky City.

In the days that followed, the nuclear explosion remained the hottest topic in the world. The tsunami triggered by the nuclear explosion eventually hit the entire coastal countries and regions of the Indian Ocean, and some low-lying countries even suffered extinction. The Maldives, known as a holiday destination, has been almost destroyed by the tsunami, with more than 40 percent of the country's land gone, and their population could have been halved if they hadn't moved people early. The tsunami also caused enormous human and economic losses to other countries bordering the Indian Ocean.

According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, the number of direct and indirect deaths in this nuclear explosion has reached 250,000, and the number of injured has reached 350,000. Fortunately, the direction of the ocean currents and atmospheric flows during this period was all to the south, resulting in the polluted air and seawater all flowing in the direction of the South Pole, and there was no harm to human beings for the time being, but even so, the fear of possible nuclear radiation cast a shadow on the hearts of everyone in the world.

The Star Charity Association, a subsidiary of the Star Group, has begun to appear in the affected areas, distributing relief materials to the victims, setting up relief tents, treating the injured, guiding the victims to help themselves, and providing reconstruction funds for the disaster areas. The emergence of the Star Charity Association has alleviated the pain and suffering of the victims in the disaster area, and has been well received by the affected countries and people, and the reputation of the Star Group has reached a new height in these countries.

After three days of working in the disaster area, the international charity organizations began to send rescue teams and distribute relief materials to the disaster area, and their rescue operations have lagged far behind the Star Charity Association. However, it is no wonder that the Star Group immediately began to allocate funds and materials after the accident and rushed to the disaster area. And those international charities still need to meet to discuss, study plans, and then mobilize materials and funds, so they are a few days later than the Star Charity.

The Star Charity Association was out of the limelight for a while, and even Liu Hui's father, Liu Decheng, became a well-known figure and won the support and love of the people in the disaster area. But what made Liu Decheng a little depressed was that the Amy Group in the United States also established an Amy Charity Association after learning of the actions of the Star Charity Association, and after a slow beat, they also announced that they would spend $500 million in materials and funds for this disaster relief. Then Amy's charity association, under the personal leadership of Chen Shaokang, also rushed to those affected countries. And Amy's Charity is completely following in the footsteps of the Star Charity, where the Star Charity goes, they go there. And along the way, Chen Shaokang kept asking for their Amy Charity Association to be merged into the Star Charity Association, and expressed his willingness to accept the leadership of Liu Hui's mother, the vice president of the Star Charity Association.

Liu Decheng obviously knew that this Chen Shaokang was here for Mina, but there was no excuse to drive him away in the current form of disaster relief. So Chen Shaokang came to the disaster relief command center early every day, diligently accepted his mother's task dispatch, and then happily carried it out. Liu Decheng felt threatened all of a sudden, he was naturally unwilling, he shook his spirits, and also behaved extremely attentively in front of his mother. The two life-and-death rivals actually regarded the disaster relief battlefield as one of the battlefields of the battle for love, and wrestled in it. However, because of the efforts of the two of them, the disaster relief operation was carried out smoothly, which added a lot of prestige and aura to the two of them.

After all, the power of 200,000 tons of TNT explosives has long since blown everything to the ground of the nuclear explosion, and there will be no valuable clues. Coupled with the fact that al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the incident, the survey team's attention turned to how to prevent al-Qaeda from detonating nuclear bombs again and further attacking al-Qaeda.

While the U.S.-led survey team was discussing how to deal with al-Qaeda, an environmental protection organization called "Defend the Earth" suddenly appeared around the world, and their slogan was: "Stop human beings from destroying the earth with all actions." The members of this organization uniformly dressed in green clothing, they marched and demonstrated in the capitals of Moscow, Paris, London, Washington, New Delhi, Islamabad, Jerusalem and other nuclear-weapon states under the precise organization, demanding that these countries completely ban nuclear weapons and give mankind a complete earth, and give all living things on the earth a complete earth, and the earth does not only belong to human beings!

The "Defend the Earth" organization was super capable, and the scale of the demonstrations they set off soon became larger and larger, and finally evolved into bloody clashes with the police, some members of the organization were injured and killed in this bloody clashes, so the organization was soon suppressed by the relevant countries, but with the help and support of other environmental organizations, the organization called "Defend the Earth" still survived tenaciously, but their actions were not as sharp as before.

Liu Hui later learned that this "defending the earth" environmental protection organization had also planned to hold such a demonstration in Kyoto, China, but unfortunately it was discovered by the heroic Chinese police, and then they took decisive measures to stop the demonstration that was still in the making, and maintained the harmony and stability of the country.

Liu Hui didn't care about the turmoil that was happening in this world, he sent the Star Charity Association, and also took out two billion dollars of funds and materials, which can be regarded as fulfilling his heart, and his focus is always on the development of the Star Group.

On this day, Liu Hui was in the office on official business, and his secretary Li Lian sent him a package.

"What is this?" Liu Hui looked at the somewhat rudimentary package.

"Boss, this is sent by the security personnel at the door, they said that an old man handed it to them, and asked them to pass it on to you. This package has been scanned by the security personnel, and there are no dangerous goods in it. Li Lian replied.

"I see, you go out first!" Liu Hui said.

Liu Hui took the package, and on the package, a few words were written in a twisted manner: "Mr. Liu Hui receives." He opened the package, only to find that it contained a large bag of money, which looked like two or three hundred thousand, and a piece of stationery inside. He picked up the letterhead, which still had a few lines written crookedly.

"Mr. Liu Hui, hello! I am Wang Xiaoer from Mingyue County, and I once borrowed 300,000 yuan from you for the purpose of treating my mother's illness, and now I have specially repaid 300,000 yuan. ”

Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that when he left Bashan City, he had lent money to a peasant brother named Wang Xiaoer for his mother's treatment. He remembered that he gave Wang Xiao200,000 yuan at that time, but 100,000 of them were used to buy nutritional products for his mother, how could this Wang Xiaoer even pay back the 100,000 yuan?

Liu Hui looked at the bag of money on the table, the bag looked very new, a large stack of 100,000 bundled together, exactly 300,000. Liu Hui picked up the bag of money and came to the gate of the Star Group, and it happened to be Ah Huo who was on duty at the gate today.

Liu Hui asked, "Ah Huo, what about the person who just handed over this package to you?" ”

Ah Huo replied, "Boss, the old man left after handing us this package. ”

Liu Hui asked, "In which direction did he leave?" ”

Ah Huo pointed to the seashore and said, "He went to the woods by the sea." ”

Liu Hui said: "You immediately come with me and go to that person." ”

So Ah Huo and another security guard followed Liu Hui and walked towards the woods by the sea. They came into the woods and began to look for the old man, only to find a seated figure on a rock by the sea, with his head down.

"Boss, that's the guy." Ah Huo pointed to the man and said, he recognized the man's clothes at a glance.

"Brother Wang?" Liu Hui shouted, but the person sitting there didn't move. Liu Hui had an ominous premonition in his heart, and at the same time he smelled a strong smell of pesticides in the air.

Liu Hui ran up in a few steps and came to the front of the sitting man, only to find that the man had a hideous face, bleeding from seven orifices, and an open pesticide bottle was poured next to him.

Liu Hui stretched out his hand and probed at the man's neck, but found that the man had no pulse for a long time, and his whole body was cold, and he was already too dead to die. Liu Hui thought of the pesticide bottle upside down next to him, combined with the smell of pesticides on his body, and immediately knew that this person had committed suicide by taking poison.

"Is this Wang Xiaoer?" Liu Hui was surprised in his heart, although this person was bleeding and his face was hideous, he could see that his face was old, the wrinkles on his face were very deep, and his hair and beard were all white. But Wang Xiaoer in his memory was a young farmer, and he couldn't get in touch with the old man in front of him at all. However, if you look closely, you can still find some characteristics of Wang Xiaoer, but I don't know why he has become so old in just two years?

"Ah Huo, call the police!" Liu Hui said.
