148: Chapter 148 The Bears Arrive
As long as Gao Yuan still had requests for the state, it meant that he was at least still in a cooperative relationship with the Xia officials.
"Gao Yuan, I can provide as many raw materials as possible! Also, when will the space bus you promised before be delivered?"
"In a while! I'll notify you as soon as they're produced!"
"Good, I'll allocate the raw materials to you immediately! Do you need anything else?"
Qin Tiejun took the initiative to ask Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment.
It was a critical period in the Future World; producing robots was for the sake of settling the Earth's residents as soon as possible and restoring stability to life.
Basic life was nothing more than clothing, food, housing, and transportation. For clothing, they had Constant Temperature Clothing.
For food, there was Nutritional Paste; for housing, Compressed Tents; for transportation... there were Flying Cars. Moreover, they were all refugees now, so the need for travel wasn't particularly urgent.
Calculating it this way, he only needed to provide raw materials. At most, he could produce robots himself to speed things up.
"Nothing else for now!"
"Alright, feel free to contact me if you need anything. Remember one thing: the country will always stand by your side!"
"Many thanks!"
He hung up the phone.
Gao Yuan felt that now was actually a good time to win over people's hearts. Although everyone knew they had been kept like livestock and deceived by the Development General Administration for so many years, many people probably also thought that the Gao Family, or rather the Human Federation administration, were just birds of a feather.
Many people probably didn't even care; after all, even for those at the bottom, as long as they had no ambition, they could live a carefree life.
At this time, if Gao Yuan provided a batch of food from the Real World to awaken the pursuit of delicacies in their genes, it would likely stimulate some fighting spirit.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan found Zhang Baiyi.
The quantity of food had to be massive, and the taste had to be sufficient. Currently, only instant noodles on the market could meet his needs.
"Old Gao, what's up?"
Zhang Baiyi asked.
"Immediately contact all major domestic instant noodle manufacturers. We need to purchase instant noodles in bulk, in quantities of hundreds of millions!"
"So many? What for?"
"Don't worry about that, just go buy them!"
"Oh, right, the Academy of Sciences has already given us the list. Nuclear Fusion is about to enter the practical stage. The officials plan to build 50 large-scale Nuclear Fusion power stations across the country to replace existing thermal power plants. Furthermore, the officials have released a plan to completely phase out fuel vehicles within 5 years, and the military has also started a plan to switch from oil to electricity!"
"Currently, those adopting Nuclear Fusion include State Power and Southern Power, mostly state-owned enterprises. Nuclear Fusion is temporarily not open to private enterprises. Director Qin specifically notified me that he made the decision that we can hold a 5% stake in the state-owned enterprises using Nuclear Fusion technology. This is a technical stake, so no actual capital contribution is required. Additionally, regarding the new card batteries, major domestic battery and smart device manufacturers have announced they will use the new technology. In total, there are 56 companies. I've calculated that it will require about 2.3 trillion in funds!"
"Do we have enough money?"
Gao Yuan asked.
"Yes, we made a lot from the last agent conference, and recently Constant Temperature Clothing and wrist machines have been selling well, so we've collected quite a bit of payment... The state-owned enterprises don't require capital, which saved a lot. The current balance in our account has exceeded one trillion!"
One trillion...
Gao Yuan fell into deep thought...
With so much money, it definitely had to be spent.
"Don't keep the money. Buy materials, various minerals, and also, we still have a large piece of land in Daqing Mountain. Build a large warehouse and a distribution center!"
"Will we still use Construction Insects?"
Zhang Baiyi asked.
Gao Yuan hesitated: "No, find construction companies. Urge them to improve workers' benefits, by at least 50%! Use the best materials... the construction period must be short. If one construction company isn't enough, find several more!"
Zhang Baiyi didn't understand why they weren't using Construction Insects...
"Old Zhang, we have already taken away too many people's livelihoods. Next, it's time to give back!"
Zhang Baiyi nodded...
He was about to go check the situation of the Life-Sustaining Base Fluid production workshop when An Jiu came in.
"Boss, there are guests!"
"Who?"
"Liu Zhao, the Director of the National Diplomatic Office, is here with Ginilis, a counselor from the Polar Bear President's Office, and the Director of the Shannan Foreign Affairs Department. They are all outside..."
Gao Yuan was stunned. What was the situation?
Why were there so many people?
Could something big be about to happen?
He checked his security measures. The Protective Sphere was worn securely on his wrist, and the cloaked Armed Self-Defense Reconnaissance Drone was communicating normally! There were also four Security Robots nearby.
Everything should be foolproof.
Even if a nuclear bomb were fired, Gao Yuan had a 90% chance of survival.
"Let them in!"
Outside, the motorcade stopped at the entrance of the Muza Technology Park.
Liu Zhao looked at the building ahead and asked, "Is this the building that was 'grown' using Construction Insects?"
The secretary beside him immediately replied, "Director Liu, the three main buildings here were all built by Construction Insects. They were very fast and have high structural strength!"
"Is it true the Space Warship is at Daqing Mountain?"
"Yes, it's right behind the technology park. Officer Zhou has sent people to guard it..."
Liu Zhao had a solemn expression. This place would likely become the center of the world in the future.
In the car behind Liu Zhao was Zhou Wutai, the Director of the Shannan Foreign Affairs Department. Looking at the Muza Industrial Park ahead, he was filled with emotion. Who could have imagined that a year ago, this was a desolate mountain village where even birds wouldn't poop!
He never dreamed that as someone in charge of diplomatic affairs, he would one day come here.
...
Soon, the motorcade entered the park. The park was very quiet, with local elderly people acting as gatekeepers. It wasn't until they reached the main building that a woman stood there to welcome them.
Zhou Wutai's assistant looked indignant: "Director, why is there no one to welcome us? Even if Gao Yuan doesn't come, their Vice President should at least come out!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Gao Yuan is now a hero of Xia!"
Though he said this, Zhou Wutai still felt a bit unhappy. He could be considered Gao Yuan's local official. If Gao Yuan knew how to behave, he would have come out to welcome them, making things easier in the future.
Ahead, Liu Zhao was already walking inside.
"Is your President Gao in?"
Liu Zhao asked Shuishui.
"Yes, President Gao is waiting for you upstairs..."
"Thank you!"
Liu Zhao didn't dare to put on any airs. Why did he come this time? Because people from the Polar Bear had arrived specifically to see Gao Yuan.
What did this mean?
It meant that Gao Yuan's every move could now influence the entire world.
After all, destroying a nation with one shot was much fiercer than a nuclear bomb. Furthermore, in front of Gao Yuan, even nuclear bombs were useless. Neon and Taiwan also had a significant number of missiles, but not a single one was fired; they were all intercepted by Gao Yuan. If missiles couldn't be launched, what about the nuclear warheads? Would they have to detonate them on themselves just to ask Gao Yuan if he was impressed?
Liu Zhao probably knew Ginilis's intention. With America having withdrawn, Europe was a piece of fat meat that everyone wanted a bite of.
The Polar Bear had been coveting it for a long time, but they didn't dare to act now, fearing that Gao Yuan would disagree!
They were here now to sound out Gao Yuan's stance!
