700: Chapter 700 We should all thank him
"Go home? What home? This is home!" Niu Xingwang said.
"Dad, don't be so stubborn. You must listen to me on this. Go back quickly! It's very dangerous here, not suitable for you to come!" Niu Mingxuan was anxious.
"Very dangerous? Then tell me, where is this?" Niu Xingwang couldn't explain, so he just went along with him.
"Didn't you just say it? Shang Gong Institute!" Niu Mingxuan replied.
"Where is Shang Gong Institute? It's in..."
Niu Mingxuan stopped there.
Shang Gong Institute is in the suburbs of the capital, not in Lop Nur.
"Even if this isn't Shang Gong Institute, it's a critical research facility. What are you, an ordinary citizen, doing here? Aren't you just causing trouble? Go back quickly, I still have work to do."
"Niu Mingxuan. Don't be nervous, listen to me. You've been in a coma for many years, and the situation is completely different now. This base was built by our people and has nothing to do with Shang Gong Institute. Do you understand?" Niu Xingwang said.
"You're saying we built a base ourselves in Lop Nur?" Niu Mingxuan felt as if he was hearing some Arabian Nights tale.
He knew his father was a real estate developer.
But could a small real estate developer come to Lop Nur to build an underground base? Is that possible? Is that realistic?
It's certainly not realistic.
"That's right." Niu Xingwang nodded.
"Alright, stop joking."
"Who's joking with you? If you don't believe me, I'll take you around."
"Forget it, forget it. This is a critical experimental area, so let's not wander around." Niu Mingxuan waved his hand.
"Hmph! You brat! You've always been like this since childhood, stubborn as a mule. You won't believe anything I tell you. Fine, you don't believe me, right!" Niu Xingwang pointed at him and shouted:
"Two people, come in!"
Soon, two young men walked into the base.
"Chairman Niu, do you need any help?"
"Tell him, where is this."
"Oh, sir, this is the Lop Nur Underground Base."
"And tell him, who am I."
"You are the person in charge here." The young man replied.
"Did you hear that?"
"Okay, thank you, you two can go out now." Niu Xingwang glared at his son, then said to the two young men.
"Yes."
The two young men walked out.
"Do you believe it now?" Niu Xingwang looked at him.
"Dad, did you really build this place?" Niu Mingxuan now almost believed it.
But he only believed it logically; emotionally, he still couldn't quite accept it.
Not everyone has the ability to build a base in such an extremely harsh place as Lop Nur. Moreover, building it wouldn't be very useful; it's impossible for anyone to live here.
"Yes. Isn't it obvious?"
"Dad, then why did you come to this godforsaken place to build a house?"
"You've been in a coma for a few years, and you don't understand the current situation. The world has changed; outside, it's already the end of the world. We have no other way out except to stay in the basement." Niu Xingwang briefly explained the general situation.
"Mom, is what my dad said true?"
In his eyes, Liu Cuiqin would never lie.
"Mm!" Liu Cuiqin nodded.
Over the next few hours, Niu Xingwang recounted in detail everything that had happened in the past few years.
Especially when he mentioned being in charge of Huatong Chamber of Commerce, those glorious days were filled with pride.
"You said this Oriental Chen, is he really that amazing? Why can he master such advanced technology?" Niu Mingxuan asked.
"Niu Mingxuan, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Everyone has their own secrets, and these are not secrets we can inquire about." Niu Xingwang stopped him.
Some things, knowing them would be very dangerous; it's better to be ignorant.
After being reminded, Niu Mingxuan also knew that asking too much would put his family in more danger, so he stopped bringing it up.
"Can I look around?"
"Sure, I'll take you for a walk."
Niu Xingwang led his son onto a shuttle bus.
How could Liu Cuiqin let go of her child after just seeing him? So she followed along.
"This is the production area. The grains, vegetables, and meat we eat are all produced here."
"This is the treatment area."
"This is the living area."
...
Niu Xingwang drove the shuttle bus while pointing at various buildings.
"This base is so big!"
Niu Mingxuan used to work in a base, so he knew his stuff.
"It's alright. This is currently just a small base; there's an even bigger one in Bato City."
"Unbelievable! How did you manage to do all this?"
Niu Mingxuan was astounded.
"Actually, Mr. Dongfang built all of this; all of us should thank him." Niu Xingwang said.
