Chapter Seventy-Four: The United States
But the "perfection" of this first-generation enchantment generator is only relative to the concept of its design. It is a testing machine, so it is much smaller than the final model. There are now eighteen generators that generate enchantment fields, each the size of a basketball court.
However, small means low consumption. The power supply lines of the steel mill should be able to withstand the energy grabbing of this thing, and it can be activated at a very small cost. In addition to this, a practitioner is needed to provide it with spiritual power.
Li Qingyan glanced at the strong man and knew that he was that person. Claiming to be Xiao Hao, he looks like he is in his forties, and he is a fifth-level lower by visual inspection. The spiritual power in the body of the lower fifth level is not much, but there are more than forty pieces of industrial gold crystal talisman in the box. This thing is not suitable for a practitioner to draw strength from, as if this person has no intention of leaving alive.
Xiao Hao nodded to the two of them, and also walked into the darkness, but did not go too far. It took more than ten minutes to plug this generator into a large device, and it seemed to be debugged a few times, and then it came back.
"Lao Yan, it's okay. He muffled, "When they're all back, try the imbecile-activated again, and then wait for the instructions." ”
Serious smiled: "Okay." ”
The three of them sat silently in the dark for a while, and Li Qingyan coughed lightly. The serious student spoke: "Old Xiao, are you coming from the chairman's side?"
"Hmm. ”
"Have you seen the chairman?"
"Yes. ”
Li Qingyan went to see Xiao Hao's luck at this time. An extremely thick tentacle connected him to Serious Sheng, who was obviously not as calm as he seemed, and he cared a lot about the question that Serious Sheng asked.
He tried to look at the generator in the distance—the generator was wrapped in countless tiny tentacles. This thing should be real. Once it is successfully activated, it will affect the fate of everyone in Beishan City, and almost everyone is connected to it.
In Li Qingyan's left ear, there was a miniature formation. Every Secret Service agent has it. After infusing spiritual power, instant two-way communication can be achieved in a short period of time, and like the advantages of goose paper, it is almost impossible to be tracked down and monitored.
Li Qingyan quietly turned it on when he motioned for a serious question, and now Pei Yuanxiu, who was somewhere in the city, could hear every sentence of dialogue here.
He heard Pei Yuanxiu's low voice in his ears: "Continue to ask the chairman." ”
He didn't need to remind the serious student, who had already spoken: "...... See a real person?"
This should be something that serious students themselves want to know. Almost no one in the promotion committee has ever seen the true face of the mysterious chairman, and the fact itself is quite incredible. In fact, there are two directors, and one is dead. Now this man has only come to power in recent years, and he has never shown his true face. But it was only after he came to power that the moderates and radicals of the Association became more and more divided, and they almost became divided.
There has long been a suspicion within the Secret Service that this so-called chairman may have an official identity. Now Lin Xiaoman has brought news that there are defectors within the Special Intelligence Bureau...... The two are connected, and the chairman and the enemy are most likely the same person.
"See. ”
Serious Sheng was stunned: "What does a real person look like? How blessed you are. ”
"It's an old man. Xiao Hao said, "I didn't see my face, I only showed my back, and I was talking in a slumbling voice." ”
Li Qingyan's heart jumped slightly. At the same time, I heard Pei Yuanxiu also take a low breath.
So I knew that the two of them wanted to go together. Muttering is an adjective in the native northern dialect that refers to a person who speaks in a quiet, indistinct voice, and is a little weak.
There will be no shortage of people who talk like this in Beishan, but among people who are familiar to both of them......
Lin Qiyun is an old man. Speaking fits this characteristic.
"I can't believe it......," Pei Yuanxiu said in a low voice, "How could it be Lao Lin......?" Qingyan, only you and I have heard about this. Based on these two characteristics alone, it is guessed that Lao Lin is too irresponsible. ”
Li Qingyan couldn't speak, only let out a low "um", as if he was thoughtful because of Xiao Hao's words.
I heard Pei Yuanxiu say again: "But I don't want to cover him." The overall command of this operation has excluded Lao Lin, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets. Just before the mystery is revealed...... I don't want to jump to conclusions. ”
Li Qingyan can understand Pei Yuanxiu's feelings.
At this time, the serious student asked: "Where did you meet you? You met in the past two days? The chairman of the board of directors is now in Beishan?"
Xiao Hao glanced at Lao Yan and stopped talking.
After five more minutes of silence, Li Qingyan closed the circle in his left ear. After another ten minutes, the people who had gone to check the line came back one after another, saying that the line in the factory was fine. It didn't take long for the shutdown and the dismissal of the workers, and almost everything was in a normal state.
Since the people arrived, the serious student cleared his throat, and then lowered his voice: "Comrades, let me explain the process of our side of this operation, everyone has a number in their hearts. If you feel pressured, you can bring it up now, and you can find someone to top it again. Otherwise, there is no turning back when the bow is opened...... It's hard to quit again. ”
No one spoke.
So the serious student nodded: "The action is probably scheduled between tomorrow afternoon and the night after tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the barrier above will close. It was also three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. As soon as we are instructed, we start this generator. At that time, an energy gathering point will be created near the steel mill to attract the dragon king. ”
"There are still people on the zenith who are stopping it, and there will be people who will stop it then. So the Desolate Soul won't fall into Beishan City entirely, maybe just a little lower, but its attention will definitely be on our side. This will not cause much damage...... At most, this one piece has been destroyed. You've all moved your family to the other side, so there's nothing to worry about. ”
"Then, the second action team will lure Peberu over. At that time, let's increase the energy supply to the generator, and the dragon king will have his sights on this place. Peberu must have been seriously injured, or would have died. If he doesn't die, there are some masters in the third action group who can make sure he can't leave here. Do you understand?"
After a while, someone in the darkness asked, "Who will be here watching the energy supply?"
"Me. Xiao Hao said.
The man stopped talking.
Li Qingyan listened quietly to him all this, while observing everyone's fortunes. The eight people are connected to each other, and each of them has a particularly thick one. He thought that this might mean that the eight people shared an "ideal", or that it was tied to what the promotion association did.
However...... I always felt that something was wrong.
He felt that things had gone too smoothly so far. But I also know that if this kind of thing is said to a higher level, it will definitely make people feel helpless. He was just a pawn in the operation. Tonight, all over Kitayama, there are many other staff members working together.
Each team has a different division of labor, goals, and will encounter different difficulties. It was this kind of collaboration that made him feel that "things were going too well".
The ultimate goal of this time is to take the risk of figuring out all the layouts of the association's actions. Not only on their side, but also on the other two groups, or more groups, in the mouth of the serious students.
From this, we can see the huge underground network of this radical organization in Beishan and draw a more macro judgment. Eventually, based on this judgment, the second step in figuring out what the American Origin Plan was exactly.
As a "screw", you shouldn't have your own thoughts at such times. Even if there is, it should not call into question the larger level of planning. However, Li Qingyan just felt that he had some kind of premonition.
He doesn't trust other people's hunches, but trusts his own.
Is there anything else that hasn't been figured out...... He thought, it would be nice if I could observe my own luck. You can see what things are connected with me, and then follow this connection.
He used to only see the "luck" of people, but now he can see non-living things and touch them. This made him realize that his "ability" could be improved, and it also made him have more desires...... If you become stronger, see farther, and reach the other target they are connected to through those tentacles, then everything in the world can be seen at a glance.
Then...... It's not much different from the so-called all-knowing and all-powerful God.
The nine people sat in the dark for a while, gossiping, and Li Qingyan stood up: "Lao Yan, I'll go out to see the security guards outside, don't ask them to break in, and bring you something to eat and drink." ”
Serious nodded. He knew that Li Qingyan might have to go out to contact Pei Yuanxiu.
But after leaving the factory, Li Qingyan didn't take out his mobile phone. Instead, he went around in the darkness of the factory and climbed over the wall. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart...... Because this area is actually an industrial park.
The factory area of Longshi Heavy Industry is in the north of the park, which is considered to be outside. In the distance, there are still a few factories, and although they have been shut down for the past few days, there will definitely be security guards. There aren't many people in each factory, but the whole park should add up to hundreds. Plus the more outlying places where people live......
Even according to the plan of the Promotion Association, the Dragon King will not descend to Beishan in its entirety, and these people will probably not survive. In fact, this kind of thing can be avoided, but a large-scale evacuation will make the promotion association realize that it is exposed, so it chooses to stand still.
It was not often that he felt such a feeling. After thinking about it, I thought that maybe it was affected by the words of the old man that day.
The birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked......
He wanted to talk to Lao Fang. It's not that I think that Lao Fang must be smarter than himself, but when I think about it, I have been in a high position, have some kind of global vision, and I can talk to him, and that is the one. Pick up some less sensitive things and use his views as a reference, maybe the thinking will be clearer.
He gave him his mobile phone number before, so he didn't have to delay anything.
Li Qingyan thought as he walked down the street under the blue sky. After walking for a while, I remembered the water.
This means that his body is dehydrated. If you suddenly remember something that you rely on for your life without a clear trigger, it is usually the body that lacks it - this is Li Qingyan's clear understanding of himself over the years.
But I just rehydrated the day before yesterday.
Maybe it's because I sighed a lot today...... Or maybe it was because I had drunk the night before. He decided to solve the problem – he knew that physiological factors could have an impact on thought patterns.
It was for this reason that he changed his mind. Lao Fang is very benevolent to himself and should not bother him anymore. There's a place where you can get a lot of news...... It's better to try your luck there. Anyway, tonight is the same.
Go to the United States.
The United States is not far away, in Wenhou District, where the industrial park is located, and it is a twenty-minute walk from here. Li Qingyan walked along the road for a while, and saw the light emitted by the fluorescent material isolation belt at the other end of the street. When you reach the end of this road, you can see a small two-story building with eroded walls on the side of the street, and huge letters made of fluorescent materials.
“WELCOME-TO-THE-UNITED-STATES-OF-AMERICA”。
Underneath is a slightly smaller line in Chinese that reads "Welcome to the United States of America."
Behind the two-storey building is actually an open space where vegetables — mostly asparagus — were grown six months ago — and then there's an equally old four-story building. The two buildings and the open space in between form a small, old-fashioned residential area that is common in the later parts of Asia.
But this is indeed the "United States of America" in its entirety.
In fact, until 1998, the Government of Asia and its allies recognized the status of the "United States of America" as a political entity. But because of the persistent protests of the United States of America, it was finally downgraded to a legitimate "political group" in 1999, but it still retained its de facto control zone – the community.
The United States of Kitayama has a history of nearly 100 years.
In 1928, the fourth demon president of the United States of America was inaugurated. Four years later, the constitution was amended, the name of the "United States of America" was changed to "the United States of America", and the status of the demon clan as "first-class citizens" was clarified.
The former Secretary of Homeland Security of the United States of America and a group of opponents went into exile and moved to the Republic itself. Then he believed that under the Presidential Succession Act, he should succeed him as president of the United States. The following year, it was declared that the United States of America itself had fallen and that the United States was at war.
At that time, the president of the United States on the other side of the ocean still had an army of nearly 20,000 men. But after the Second World War, he became the commander of the light pole. Many years later, the 45th president of the United States, the Republic, went bankrupt due to poor investment and economic crisis.
Then, by the 80s, it was clear to everyone that the United States of America was a thing of the past. So the people involved left one after another...... Only the gardener's family at that time remained.
The gardener then won the presidential election and declared himself the 49th President of the United States, and the Government of the Republic supported him because of the political situation at the time.
The president of the United States, now in Kitayama, is the grandson of the gardener, and has seven citizens—his father, mother, wife, two sons, and two daughters. It is worth mentioning that this president also runs an "American Inn".
It's the one in front of you.
