Chapter 151: Own Territory
"Please keep your ID!"
Lu Gang handed the confirmed certificate to the driver with both hands, looked at the epaulettes on his shoulders with some awe, took a step back and saluted, and watched the black vehicle slowly drive into the iron gate, his heart filled with inexplicable excitement.
He didn't know who was sitting in the car, nor did he know what he was protecting behind him. He only knew that the courtyard behind him, which was armed to the same specifications as a fortress, was built at the fastest speed. It was located less than three kilometers away from their troops. In case of need, the fully armed troops would gather and arrive within five minutes. The defense here was so tight that not even a fly could fly in. Any suspicious person who approached without permission could be shot directly. With such a level of defense, it was natural that there were very important people and very important places inside. A strong sense of mission filled his heart, making him straighten his back even more.
The sensor on the garage door flashed, the iron door closed silently, and the black car slowly slid into the garage and stopped. Wei Jie got out first, then opened the back door and said softly, "Mr. Rong, we're here."
In the back seat, Rong Yuan opened his eyes and looked over indifferently, and Wei Jie lowered his head unconsciously.
Speaking of which, the way he was addressed changed a lot during this period. At first, some people called him "Mr. Rong", "Little Genius", "Mr. Rong", etc., with a hint of politeness and a hint of joking. Later, as people became more respectful and respectful, they gradually changed to "Mr. Rong". Some people even called him "Dr. Rong" in private, but he had not yet received this title, so few people were so exaggerated.
The technology of cotton candy is not completed by submitting a piece of material. In fact, when he first came, he had a long discussion with some experts, such as the idea of creation, the concept of material selection, various difficulties encountered in the experiment, etc. If cotton candy is just a product exchanged from the Merit Mall instead of the result of his countless research day and night, it will inevitably be exposed at the beginning of this discussion. But the actual situation is that Rong Yuan answered fluently, explained clearly, and was familiar with all the technical points and extremely thorough. Some "experts" who initially thought that he had achieved this achievement by luck were convinced in the end. Not only did they not find opportunities to find fault, but many of the past technical bottlenecks were solved in Rong Yuan's explanation.
——After all, no matter how knowledgeable these experts are, their knowledge base is relatively rough. After reaching a certain height, each step up requires a long period of exploration and research. However, Rong Yuan has obtained scientific research data on the moon for more than 10,000 years. Although he has not fully understood these data, the part he has mastered is equivalent to standing on a mountain far higher than that of humans on Earth. Just pointing out a few words of knowledge that is common sense to the moon people can also make these experts suddenly enlightened and feel like they have found a treasure. It is like an ordinary person in modern society who travels back to ancient times more than a thousand years ago. Even if he does not understand Maxwell's equations, he can still make the ancients admire him with the law of refraction of light.
It is for this reason that the "technical exchange" time, which was originally scheduled for only one week, was repeatedly extended, with new experts and scholars constantly joining in. At first they wanted to prove that he was "famous in vain", then they wanted to prove that he was "nothing special", and later they wanted to know where his limits were. In the end, it was completely "the one who has achieved success first" and they asked questions with the attitude of a student.
Actually, they didn't think that what Rong Yuan said was so advanced, but it was as if his mind was filled with a library, with countless classic works, scientific research papers and experimental data stored in it, which he could call up word for word at any time and anywhere. Moreover, after he sorted out and thought about those seemingly ordinary contents, he always made amazing discoveries and wonderful ideas, and the sparks of inspiration kept bursting out. Some people were in a hurry to verify the new ideas in the middle of the discussion, and some people joined in after hearing the news.
So one week became two weeks, and two weeks became four weeks, and this "technical exchange" meeting lasted forty-five days. In the years after the meeting, new inventions continued to emerge in the scientific community of Sugar Country, and inventors would always recall this inspiring discussion on the podium. Later, Sugar Country held an exchange and discussion meeting at the same time every other year, and this meeting was called the "First Science and Technology Summit of Sugar Country."
…
Rejecting Wei Jie's company, Rong Yuan took a good tour around this place which would be his territory in the future. Seeing that all the equipment, materials and laboratory environment were met in accordance with his requirements without any compromise, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The technical exchange meeting was not open to the media, so the outside world was unaware of it, but the top leaders of Sugar Country knew it very well. Although the discussion was long and boring, and there were many difficulties and doubts, it was all worth it. After this meeting, no one in the top academic circles of Sugar Country would look down on him because of his age or qualifications. Those in power also saw more clearly that his value was not just a small piece of marshmallow. Everything he saw before his eyes was the most direct and basic reward.
——He will get more later.
Rong Yuan took out his phone and checked. The search software he installed on his phone proved that in this apart from some necessary surveillance cameras installed in the experimental area, there were no hidden cameras, eavesdropping devices, or recording devices. The living area was also clean and tidy. This was completely his private area. From now on, he would be the highest person in charge here. Without his permission, even the chairman of the Sugar Country Council could not easily come in.
In fact, there are only a few people living in this huge area, and the cleaning work is completely done by automated intelligent machines. In addition to Rong Yuan, there are also his life assistant Wei Jie (this person actually takes on multiple positions equivalent to housekeeper, driver, bodyguard, personal assistant, etc. Rong Yuan can ask him to solve any problem. Even if he can't solve it with his ability, he will know who to find), two chefs (one Chinese and one Western, both of first-class level), and several laboratory assistants (according to his requirements, all are graduate students who have just graduated from well-known universities, with clean origins, simple backgrounds, and few twists and turns in their hearts).
At this time, others were either getting familiar with the environment or arranging work. Several young assistants (of course, they were older than Rong Yuan) were looking forward to and nervous about their future. Rong Yuan chose a residence on the top floor. The study was very large and filled with all his old books. Even so, it looked empty. Other facilities included a video room, a gym, a swimming pool, etc. There were all kinds of green plants and flowers on the rooftop, which was a small garden platform. The decoration of this house was not luxurious, but it was very attentive. Rong Yuan was not interested in these things. He just took a casual look and felt very satisfied.
There are only two things that are most important: first, there is no disgusting and sinister means of snooping in private space; second, living on the top floor is convenient for the take-off and landing of the rain shuttle. Nothing else matters.
Standing in the territory that completely belonged to him, Rong Yuan also relaxed a lot. He took off his watch and put it on the table, saying, "The environment is safe, you can come out."
Pea snapped back to its original form and stood on the table. It moved its little hands and feet and looked up at its surroundings, also in a good mood. Recently, there had been other people around Rong Yuan for a long time, and in order to hide, it had not been able to freely show up in its original form for a long time. Therefore, this small but complete research institute was not only satisfactory to Rong Yuan, but also to it.
"What's the situation on both sides?" Rong Yuan asked as he went inside to change his clothes.
Wandou said, "The White team has just started and is making good progress. Skynet has been updated and the new section is named [Rescue Team]. The names, mission objectives, completion progress, and input and expenditure of all the White team members who responded to the call are displayed. In addition, each person's name is a personal blog. According to your instructions, they will upload what they do every day in the form of a log, and all the detailed account statements and invoices of their expenses will also be uploaded. Currently, more than 90% of the people on the Internet have positive comments and expectations. In addition, there are also a small number of people complaining that it is unnecessary and that the money should be directly transferred to the people in need as before."
"And then let them squander the money I gave them?" Rong Yuan sneered.
During this period, people like Dai Ping were not isolated cases. Perhaps the donation came too easily, or perhaps Skynet's innocent image was too deeply rooted in people's hearts. Some people used the life-saving money to buy cars, houses, gamble, take drugs, find lovers, and immigrate. When they squandered it all, they cried and showed their misery on the Internet, hoping that Skynet would continue to be their ATM. The first time Rong Yuan encountered such a person, he was very angry. The second, third, and tenth time, Rong Yuan's response was to make them deeply understand the meaning of "family destruction". If it weren't for the hidden dangers in his own situation at that time, his methods would have been even more cruel.
"What about Black? How are they getting along?" Rong Yuan asked again.
"There were some minor frictions, but Shi Xingchen resolved them all. He is an outstanding leader," said Wandou.
"Of course." Rong Yuan showed some satisfaction, and then said: "If the doctor can't even solve this problem, it can only mean that I chose the wrong person - are there any other problems?"
"Two days ago, Lu Yanwang died of a heart attack in his sleep. At noon today, Ge Kangying was involved in a car accident and was seriously injured and unconscious. His lower body has to rely on a feeding tube to survive. We will sanction these two people. Rong Yuan, since you were not directly involved, your merit points will be halved, but your punishment points will remain unchanged. In addition, Shi Xingchen and others are investigating the third person on the list, Yu Songtai. Because he has no obvious evil deeds, everyone has disagreements and doubts about the list. After discussion, we decided to investigate first and then see whether to take action."
"Well, it's better to be cautious. To be honest, I'm also very curious about what Yu Songtai did to have so many negative merits." Rong Yuan said.
Not everyone on the list he gave was notorious. In fact, quite a few of them had not been found to have obvious bad deeds even by Skynet's surveillance network. The basis for making the list was his eyes. With the convenience of the Sky Eye being able to see the merit value, all the people on the first list had more than 10,000 negative merits.
Most of these people are ordinary businessmen, politicians, and even civilians. They are hidden in the crowd and look no different from other people. People without the third eye will not know how many dangers exist around them. This first list includes people from all walks of life, some famous and some not. They all have a certain sense of security and defense, but it is not very high. They are just the grinding stone for Rong Yuan to run out. After these trials, if the black chess is almost in harmony and the ability and character are still available, he will give them a second list; if the black chess cannot pass the test, Rong Yuan will pack them up and send them to the police, and then recruit a new group of people to do this.
"Also, Skynet's accounts are open and transparent. Rongyuan, your own account cannot be linked to these people. So how do you plan to support them? " Wandou asked.
"Support? Support for what?" Rong Yuan asked back.
Pea blinked. "As far as I know, whether it's investigating or arranging an accident, at least money and tools are needed, right? These people basically have no source of income, so I thought..."
"Then do you think they are short of money?" Rong Yuan said with a smile. "Wandou, you don't need to worry about these guys. They have many ways to make money. Not to mention anything else, after Lu Yanwang died, his safe - there should be a safe in his bedroom, right? That's right - just taking a little from it is enough for them to support themselves for a long time. These people are bad guys with a bottom line, not saints like moral standards. When they have the conditions to provide themselves with a better standard of living, they will not hesitate to consider property ownership. So what you have to pay attention to is to monitor them and make sure they don't hurt innocent people, and to remind the police when they are about to catch them. There is no need to intervene. They are not white chess pieces and can handle it themselves."
"I understand." Pea nodded.
"What about the girl? Is she still following them?"
"Yes. Even though she knew what they were doing, Gong Lan stayed by Zhou Dong's side and refused to leave. She is now in charge of some matters that require her to be in the spotlight. After all, the others are wanted criminals, and it would be dangerous even if they went out in disguise... Should we find a way to get her to leave?"
Rong Yuan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Since it is her own choice, she knows whether it is hot or cold when drinking the water. Let her do it!"
"yes."
Rong Yuan thought of something else and said, "By the way, Wandou, how about I get you a new optical computer?"
