Two hours later, Musk looked at the giant factories stacked one after another under the horizon, as well as the clusters of trucks rushing back and forth on the wide road, with an extremely envious expression.
This is a quite complete industrial system. From the refining of raw materials, heavy industry processing, to finishing, to various finished product factories, and finally the assembly factory with 10,000 people, the entire industrial chain is in this vast industrial park. Finish.
What's even more outrageous is that the entire industrial park here, and even a resource mining company that provides raw materials, are owned by the young man next to him...
"I think the outside world has underestimated your assets too much."
Standing in front of the gate of the industrial park, Musk couldn't help but sigh, "I think your actual assets definitely far exceed the outside world's estimates, and even exceed the total assets of some established consortiums."
The reason why I say this is because in the 2023 Forbes ranking of the world's richest people, Chen Chen was evaluated by Forbes as having total assets of US$50 billion, ranking 20th in the world for owning the Life Sciences City and various patents. He is also on the rich list. The youngest member.
"That's true, but in Africa, everything is worthless, including human life."
Chen Chen smiled nonchalantly, "What's more, I'm not a businessman. For people like you and me who have lofty dreams, money is just a tool to serve our dreams. If the dream cannot be realized, no matter how much money there is, What’s the use?”
"Hahahaha, Chen, you said it so well!"
After hearing this, Musk's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he remembered that the young man in front of him, like himself, was committed to a certain dream and was working hard - his dream was to establish a permanent colony on Mars and make mankind a cross-border planet. A star species, and is this not the case with this magical young man’s plan to escape from human lifespan
Blackwatch Company has stated on countless public occasions that the company's corporate vision is to bring mankind into the age of immortality, and even move towards the dream called immortality...
I have to say that the young man in front of me who created the legend is indeed in line with his own ideals. After all, if he realizes his desire to immigrate to Mars in the future, he will probably be old and old. Could it be that by then, after he has just completed his dream, he will have to Die of old age on Mars
Although he once said that his dream is to scatter his ashes on Mars, Musk knows that he actually does not want to die.
He has countless money and talents that stand out in the world. The world is very exciting for him.
But now, technology is developing at a rapid pace. In this biological company, Musk also sees the hope of obtaining a higher quality of life. For this reason, he specially gave the company many preferential treatment, including lace electrode technology, and this friendly visit.
These are all manifestations of Musk's release of goodwill.
Next, Chen Chen led Musk around the entire industrial park, and then came to a satellite manufacturing factory department.
"This is the communication satellite we designed."
In the dust-free laboratory, Chen Chen led Musk to a behemoth.
This is a spiral metal object, completely black, with a diameter of only one meter, but a height of more than four or five meters. Patterns on it are flashing, and there are also a large number of scale-like patterns inlaid on it.
Rather than saying that this is a satellite, it is better to say that this is an artistic creation with a strong style, full of indescribable weird styles.
"This is… "
Musk looked at the monster in front of him in stunned silence. As an expert in rockets and satellites, he would know that because there is no air in the vast space, satellites do not have to be made into a graceful streamline like airplanes. Therefore, the shape of satellites Totally varied.
Available in fusiform, spherical, barrel or even flake form…
Moreover, many satellites have their own solar panels, so when they are actually deployed, the satellites look like sailing ships, and some even carry receiving antennas like iron pots on their backs. Their appearance is far less beautiful than that of airplanes.
But no matter what, satellites have strong functional characteristics. Real experts can tell what functions a satellite has with just the naked eye.
But the image of the satellite in front of him subverted Musk's understanding of satellites.
"I suspect that the thing you want to launch will be difficult to pass the approval of international aerospace regulatory agencies..."
Musk looked a little weird, and he joked, "And you are launching this thing to contact aliens?"
"I know it doesn't look much like a human creation, but don't worry, I didn't launch it to contact aliens."
Chen Chen shook his head and said solemnly, "This is a communication satellite developed by our Black Light Technology. The purpose of launching it is to provide my company with a unique encrypted communication technology."
"encryption?"
"Yes."
Chen Chen nodded, "After all, Mr. Musk, you have to understand that once a high-tech company like ours has its technology leaked, it will mean billions or even tens of billions of monetary losses. Therefore, technology leaks are very difficult for us to bear." , but if we have a unique communication channel, it will be much simpler."
With that said, Chen Chen patted Musk on the shoulder, "Besides, I naturally have my own way to fight against the Earth Federal Space Administration. Mr. Musk, as long as you can launch it into geosynchronous orbit, it will be enough." ”
Hearing this, Musk couldn't help but take a deep look at Chen Chen, then slowly walked to the so-called satellite and touched it gently.
Musk felt an ominous feeling about this satellite, especially the totem-like lines on it. When he reached out and touched it, he even had the illusion that he was touching squirming maggots...
It was a disgusting and creepy feeling, as if it were a living thing.
"The technology of this satellite is very advanced."
Chen Chen walked up to Musk and said with the eyes of a piece of art, "It only weighs about ten tons, and your Falcon 9 can easily carry it."
"I just saw in the cooperation letter of intent that you want to launch a total of five such satellites?"
Musk asked, “For satellites in geosynchronous orbit, only three are needed to cover all areas of the earth except the North and South Pole. So, if you launch five satellites, you are going to cover even the North and South Pole. Covered at the same time?”
"Yes, that's what I thought."
Chen Chen nodded and invited again, "Now that I've finished watching the satellite, what else do you want to see next?"
"Now that we have come to the world-famous life science city, the next step is naturally to take a look at your company's life science technology."
Musk didn't want to delve deeper into a satellite. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to shift the conversation to the previous immortality technology, "Didn't you say there is a brand-new aging reversal project? If possible, I hope to visit that. I just hope this request doesn’t bother you.”
"Not at all, it's an honor."
Chen Chen nodded, "Since you want to see it, then naturally I will do my best to be a landlord."
With that said, Chen Chen winked at Cheng Chao and turned around to walk out of the laboratory.
…
That so-called satellite is nothing but a part of Gantz transmission technology.
Chen Chen's goal is to use five Gantz satellites to fully cover every corner of the earth, and then as long as he builds a few larger Gantz servers, Chen Chen will be able to use Gantz technology to transmit without delay around the world.
At that time, Chen Chen will initially gain the power to fight against the Earth Federation...
The reason why Chen Chen borrowed Musk's hand to launch the satellite is actually very simple.
With the power of Chen Chen's current USB flash drive, he can absorb at most an aircraft of the level of a small Bugatti spaceship. However, although this aircraft is flexible and can even sail freely in the universe, it cannot bear the weight of the Gantz satellite.
Although Chen Chen applied for aerospace qualification in Namibia and had the interstellar spacecraft technology obtained from the "Elysium Space" plane, after all, he did not have any foundation in the aerospace industry. It was impossible to create something from scratch in just a few months. A ten-ton satellite is put into the sky from the ground.
Therefore, Chen Chen will not be able to put the Gantz satellite into geosynchronous orbit on his own for at least one or two years. If Chen Chen wants to launch the satellite, he must entrust it to other space agencies.
As the world's best private aerospace company, Musk's SpaceX is naturally a good target.
And this time, Chen Chen may not have the idea of pulling Musk into his camp.
As everyone got on the car again, the group of three cars turned around and drove towards the Life Sciences City. However, gradually, the bodyguard beside Musk suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because the bodyguards in the other two cars and their passengers disappeared when they passed a fork in the road.
"Boss, there is a problem..."
The bodyguard whispered a reminder in Musk's ear, and then he slowly put his hand into his pocket.
"I wouldn't do this if I were you."
However, before the bodyguard could touch the gun in his pocket, Chen Chen, who was in the passenger seat, suddenly turned his head and glanced at him with a smile.
The next second, the bodyguard suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, as if something had pricked him lightly. He was shocked, but before he could recover, his vision went dark, and he immediately lost consciousness...
All this was so flashy that Musk watched dumbfounded as an anesthetic needle was slowly pulled out from the bodyguard's neck. At the same time, it flew out of thin air into Chen Chen's hand and was put away by Chen Chen.
"Chen, Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"
Musk's expression darkened, "I don't seem to have offended you, right? Are you going to attack me just because I don't want to join God's Forbidden Zone?"
"You misunderstood."
Chen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent expression, "I have no intention of hurting you. The reason why I did this is just to keep it secret. After all, you will see the real secret of our God's Forbidden Zone later..."
"The real secret?"
Musk looked solemn. He looked out the window at the bustling life sciences city, and then he felt slightly relieved, "I hope so."
Chen Chen smiled and didn't explain too much.
Soon, Cheng Chao, the driver, drove the Rolls-Royce into the underground garage of a 5A-grade office building.
Suddenly, Musk couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw that he was in such a hidden place again.
But this time, after the car officially stopped in the parking space, Chen Chen and Cheng Chao got out of the car first. At the same time, Cheng Chao also thoughtfully helped Musk open the door in the back seat.
Musk reluctantly got out of the car, and a damp and cold musty smell suddenly penetrated his nose, causing him to sneeze.
"plz follow me."
Chen Chen nodded towards the other party and walked towards the elevator on the side first.
Musk hesitated slightly. He looked at Cheng Chao, who was staring at him eagerly. He sighed secretly and followed slowly.
In this way, a group of three people entered the elevator, but when the elevator was closed, no one pressed the floor button in the elevator, and the elevator moved automatically.
And, the elevator isn’t going up, it’s going down…
Musk's pupils shrank when he felt the descending elevator. After all, the height of the elevator's descent in just half a minute was probably more than dozens of meters.
When the elevator reached the bottom and opened again with a prompt, a 500-square-meter underground space suddenly came into Musk's sight.
This is an empty subway platform.
The subway platform is empty, with only two small train-like tunnel trams parked at the platform entrance.
The two tunnel trams are about 5 meters in length and are made of all-alloy. The fronts of the trams adopt a triangular design and are marked with the Blackwatch Company's logo.
Musk was even more surprised to see the unique cave underground. He subconsciously followed the track and looked into the distance, only to see that except for the platform, the tunnels in the distance were all pitch black.
“The hive from Resident Evil?”
Musk couldn't help but smile in amusement, "Now I finally understand why I always have a sense of déjà vu..."
"Stop joking, Mr. Musk."
Chen Chen took the lead on the tunnel tram, "The hive is not as hidden and complex as the underground base I built."
"I want to see it too."
Musk replied and immediately got on the tram.
After he stood firm, he heard a sizzling sound of electricity, and the tram slowly started on its own and began to drive towards the end of the tunnel.
Different from the tunnel tram in Resident Evil, Chen Chen's tunnel tram is obviously much more humane. It not only has three rows of seats, but also an oversized LCD monitor, which is constantly playing the Chinese version of "Crayon Shin-chan".
Watching Crayon Shin-chan in a gloomy and depressing tunnel tram has a different flavor.
The tunnel tram is extremely fast, and it only takes a few minutes to reach the end of the trip.
When Musk got off the bus again, what he saw was a subway platform that was almost the same as the previous platform.
What is different from the previous platform is that there is a circular corridor at the end of the platform. In the center of the corridor are the alloy doors of two elevators. Next to the corridor, there are three other passages, leading to three subway platforms in other directions.
In other words, in addition to the previously known parking lot, there are three other entrances to the surface of Life Sciences City.
Musk saw it and understood immediately.
Ignoring Musk's observation, Chen Chen walked to the elevator door in the corridor. The elevator door opened with a sound, revealing a larger elevator room.
This time without Cheng Chao's force, Musk entered the elevator again. This time, Musk clearly felt that the elevator was beginning to descend at an even more alarming speed.
After many twists and turns, amidst Musk's increasingly intense shock, the three finally stepped into the interior of the Minaret Experimental Base.
