Xu Yang waited for more than half an hour in his office, which he had not stayed in for nearly a year, before Xu Mengfei arrived belatedly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't look after this home for you."
Xu Mengfei came behind Xu Yang and rubbed his temples for him naturally.
"What are you talking about? How can I blame you? The world has changed, and people's hearts are also changing. How can you and I control it? But it's okay. Those who can stay at this time can share weal and woe. Yu Min
Add one more! You can increase your investment in her in the future!"
Xu Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
But Xu Yang was still very relieved that Yu Minjia could always stand on his side, feeling that he had finally not misjudged the person completely.
"What happened to you in China this time has had a great impact on our company. Many partners have severed cooperative relations with us one after another. Even the 55 Federation has ceased to exist in name only, and most of its members have withdrawn. President Yu Zhengsheng
, President Chen Zhengzhong has always stood firmly on our side.
The four vice-chairmen of the council, Zhongma Youfu, have an ambiguous attitude and are taking a wait-and-see attitude. Several others still support our Skynet. However, most of the ten council members have withdrawn, and some candidate members are unwilling to withdraw.
Most of them are foreign members.
To be honest, the 55 Federation today is even more miserable and shabby than when it was first founded."
Xu Mengfei said quietly.
"Well done! If they don't retreat, how can others get in?"
Xu Yang sneered.
Those who cannot share the difficulties will be kicked out of the group sooner or later. Now that they have withdrawn from the group, Xu Yang no longer needs to bear the infamy.
"However, after losing so many partners, our business is now much worse. Fortunately, 'Fruit Fruit' has been designated as the only drink by the Portuguese Football Association. Coupled with the huge income from Tianwang Clothing, our Tianwang finally managed to make ends meet.
Balance, no loss."
Xu Mengfei said sadly.
"This is temporary, and we will get over the difficulty soon! This time I found a way to make money in Somalia. Eighty percent of Somalia is animal husbandry, with very little agriculture and a serious shortage of food and vegetables.
Our company has been saving feed for more than a year, leaving a small amount for our own company. The rest is sent to Somalia along with grain and vegetables. We have become a branch there!"
Xu Yang smiled and recounted his brief experience in Somalia. Xu Yang would not tell anyone about the extraordinary means used to control the top military and political leaders in Somalia.
"Brother Xu, you are so awesome. Our company just encountered a little trouble, and you just went out and wandered around and it was all solved."
Xu Mengfei's big round eyes were full of admiration.
"It's not as mysterious as you said! I'm just lucky."
Xu Yang was dumbfounded. Secretary Xu, who was quite prestigious in the eyes of outsiders, actually had such an innocent side.
He smiled and said: "Don't be a nymphomaniac. The company has fired several people at once. Things have become a lot more serious. Please discuss it first and give me a list. Let's see if there are suitable candidates to replace those people. I still want to
Go and have a look at the farm, otherwise you won’t be at ease.”
If there is anything that worries Xu Yang more than the betrayal of the company's top executives, it is the safety of the farm in Mondmulla City, because Xu Yang's secret laboratory is hidden inside, and a large number of talents recruited from all over the world are...
There.
The farm and laboratory are the other two major institutions directly under Xu Yang's jurisdiction. These are areas where no department of the head office has the right to interfere.
Today, this farm is no longer what it used to be. The entire farm is surrounded by a three-meter-high barbed wire fence and cement pillars. The fence is covered with ferocious star vines. There are only two entrances to the entire farm, and three-digit security guards are stationed inside.
, except for a few people who were recruited veterans, the others were puppets bought by Xu Yang from the secret realm.
Xu Mengfei also knew the importance of the farm to Xu Yang, so she immediately agreed and stopped pestering him.
When Xu Yang's car drove outside the farm gate, Liu Yan, who was in charge of farm production, and Flavel, who was in charge of farm security, had been waiting outside the gate for a long time with a group of security guards.
Seeing Xu Yang again, the two leaders of the farm seemed very happy and hurriedly welcomed him in.
"Besides the big trouble at the head office recently, nothing happened on your farm?"
Xu Yang asked the two of them to get in the car together, and then headed towards his residence in the experimental area.
His current driver is called Xiao Liu, and he is also a fighting puppet. Because the puppet Ah Si was sent to Shanghai to help Sun Yao, he had to find another puppet with good strength.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, our safety work has never been relaxed. Since I learned that someone in the company was betrayed, I have stepped up my daily vigilance and doubled the manpower for the night shift!"
Flavel assured sternly.
"I feel at ease when you do things! But things are different now. I have offended many powerful people in China. I am going to give you another group of powerful security guards. You must strengthen the protection of the experimental area!"
Xu Yang nodded and expressed satisfaction, but he once again proposed strengthening protection work.
There were too many secrets in the current experimental area, so he had to be more cautious.
The secret laboratory originally established in the border desert has been abandoned. A group of researchers led by Professor Ye Changwang of the former Zhu Kezhen College have secretly come to Portugal. The project they are responsible for is how to use natural storms and lightning.
Use energy for your own use.
Since Xu Yang started planting the 'Iron Tree', a group of foreign scientists headed by Bachst and Karimt have been responsible for studying the use of energy synthesis metals and life metals, as well as studying how to synthesize various Warcraft crystal nuclei.
Methods to extract elemental energy.
"Oh, dear Xu, I'm so happy to meet you! I'm really curious about where you got these magical metals, my God! It's incredible, living metals!"
As soon as Xu Yang arrived at the laboratory, Bachst came up to him excitedly with a light green metal plate in his hand.
"Old Bach, don't you study plants? Why are you also interested in metals?"
Xu Yang smiled and shook hands with Bachst, and said hello to a group of experts around him.
"Xu! This has broken away from the category of metal and has become a special form of life. Of course I am interested in studying its application scope."
Bachst shook his head and said.
"Oh, what have you researched?"
Xu Yang asked curiously.
"I temporarily use life metal on lathes. Machines like lathes, which consume a lot of energy, may be completely different if there is a slight deviation. However, after using life metal, as long as you don't use it too much,
.The error in manufacturing the machine will be reduced to one ten thousandth of a millimeter, which is almost negligible!
Think about it, what level of accuracy is required for equipment like aerospace! It has strict requirements on the accuracy of lathes. In the near future, lathes made of life metal will replace lathes made of ordinary metal.
lathe."
Bach was pleasantly surprised and told Xu Yang about his recent research results.
Xu Yang's understanding of life metals was naturally much deeper than Baxter's. But in order not to dampen the old man's enthusiasm, he praised him a few times and then turned around to find Ye Changwang.
Ye Changwang's research laboratory is in a new house not far away. This house is newly built. The roof is made of glass and can be opened. At this moment, Ye Changwang directed a group of people to remove a thick metal iron rod from
The roof sticks out.
"Professor Ye! What are you doing?"
Xu Yang asked puzzledly.
"Boy Xu, nothing happened to you in the country?"
Ye Changwang did not explain, but asked Xu Yang first.
"It's no big deal! I can handle it!"
Xu Yang said calmly.
When he allowed those people to imprison him in Qincheng Prison, a large part of the reason was to get those people to focus on him, so that he could let experts like Ye Changwang leave China safely.
"Alas! Those people are too much. No wonder you put your foundation in Portugal. You are a useless scholar! I can't help you with anything."
Ye Changwang sighed.
"Mr. Ye, you are a scholar. You don't understand political things. To put it bluntly, playing politics is about competing for interests. You should focus on research and don't worry about those dirty things."
Xu Yang smiled.
"Haha, that's what you said. You see, based on the two broken objects you provided, two things were developed. This one is used to absorb the energy of natural storms, and this one is used to absorb the energy of lightning.
"
Ye Changwang first smiled bitterly, and then handed Xu Yang two items with great interest, one similar to the Thunder Stick and the other similar to the Storm Hammer.
"Mr. Ye, have you researched it?"
Xu Yang asked in surprise.
"Well, actually, the biggest reason why humans can't absorb the power of thunder and lightning from the sky for their own use is that the instantaneous voltage generated by lightning is too high, and nothing can withstand it. But this strange broken metal rod of yours can.
, through research, we finally discovered a phenomenon. The lines in this metal rod play a key role, that is, these lines absorb and store the power of lightning!"
Ye Changwang excitedly spread his discovery at a high speed.
"You made something that absorbs lightning energy based on the special texture of this metal rod?"
Xu Yang's eyes lit up, he realized that these old guys were really not simple, they could find the key point so quickly.
"No! Just relying on these lines is not enough! Even if the metal material is too poor, in fact, there is no metal on the earth that can withstand the continuous power of thunder and lightning in the sky, let alone absorb and store it.
One time when I went to Dr. Bach's place, I found that the metal they had there was very special. They called it energy metal. It was much better than the existing titanium alloys on the earth, so I took some to make it.
It’s a lightning-resistant material. I never thought it could really be done!”
When Ye Changwang said this, he was almost overjoyed.
"Oh, so the research has been successful?"
Xu Yang asked, pointing to the two things in his hand.
"Alas! I can only say that the effect is average! At least it is far different from the two broken things you gave me, and the effect is not even 1%!"
Ye Changwang said a little discouraged. (To be continued...)
