Time flew by and the unique existence that was Namibia's Eco Science City continued to be built.
Once upon a time, this place was just a desert with very few villages within a hundred miles. It was a completely undeveloped, primitive landscape.
However, with the arrival of a man, this area underwent earth-shattering changes.
At the end of 2021, the man came all the way from Mainland China and signed an agreement with the Namibian government.
From the beginning of 2022 onwards, a biological research center was established here. At the same time, a huge nuclear power plant project also began to be built.
After that, things began to get out of hand.
In March 2023, Eco Science City was completed. In May 2023, the nuclear power plant was completed. Tycoons from all over the world came one after another. The entire Eco Science City seemed to have come to life, glowing with unprecedented vitality.
The only pity was that in this year, the Blacklight virus broke out across the entire African continent. The entire continent was hit hard and the development of Eco Science City was also delayed.
However, with the passing of the plague, this private city once again exploded with astonishing vitality. Every day, hundreds of tycoons from all over the world appeared at Namibia's Walvis Bay International Airport and poured into Eco Science City.
Today, the permanent population of Eco Science City was about more than 50,000 people. As time passed, this number continued to rise.
As a last resort, a new development zone of Eco Science City was also built at a rapid pace.
Earlier, in order to lay out the business of his Tara Resource Strategy Company, Chen Chen took the initiative to pay for the expansion of Walvis Bay Airport, upgrading this international airport from 3C to 4E.
Airport grades generally referred to the degree of completeness of the airport's runway, lift belts, taxiways, parking aprons, and other facilities.
Generally speaking, the flight zone was divided into six grades, below 3C, 3C, 4C, 4D, 4E, and 4F, represented by a code consisting of two parts.
The first part was a number, indicating the length of the runway. The number "4" indicated that the runway was more than 1800 meters long. The second part was a letter, indicating the wingspan and wheel base of the aircraft that could take off and land, from A to F.
The 4E flight zone could take off and land up to four-engine long-range wide-body airliners such as Boeing 747, Airbus A340, Boeing 787, Boeing 777, and Airbus A330, as well as large twin-engine airliners.
Walvis Bay's airport had been upgraded from 3C to 4E. It was as if a shotgun had been replaced with a cannon. It had become one of the largest airports in the whole of Africa. Not only was it a famous transit station in Africa, but the volume of cargo and passenger traffic made the Minister of Finance smile from ear to ear.
As the investor, Blacklight Biotechnology also received many benefits such as an exclusive airport runway, cargo exemption, and so on.
Moreover, thanks to this pandemic, Tara Strategic Resources, a subsidiary of Blacklight Biotechnology, had made a fortune. Countless countries had to reluctantly sell their resource mining rights, including gold, diamonds, rare earth mines, and so on, in order to receive this life-saving sum.
These minerals were originally very difficult to mine and transport for each country. Now that they had experienced the pandemic, it was even more difficult.
However, the Tara subsidiary company had various models of transport aircraft, advanced equipment, and sufficient investment funds. Naturally, mining was not a problem.
Therefore, a large number of rare minerals were transported from Tara Strategic Resource's cargo planes to Walvis Bay International Airport every day. Among these minerals, Chen Chen was naturally not interested in gold, silver, diamonds, and so on. He sold them directly to the international market. As for the strategic minerals, they were transported to the industrial park of the Eco Science City and directly digested internally.
For this reason, the scope of the industrial park was expanding, and there were more and more factories in it.
Gradually, the night came … …
At night, the Eco Science City was like any other international city, brightly lit. The streets were lined with row after row of street lights, the city's shops were brightly lit, and the residential areas and sanatoriums in the distance were even more decorated, overshadowing the starry sky.
Originally, due to the backward industrialization of Namibia, it had the world's most beautiful starry sky. However, following the establishment of the Eco Science City, the starry sky here was polluted by the prosperity of the city and the exhaust emissions from industrialization.
For this reason, a group of environmentalists even emerged internationally to criticize Blacklight Biotechnology for polluting the pure land of Namibia.
However, Chen Chen only found it funny.
For those who lived in modern cities, a clear starry sky was a rare sight, but they never thought that under this perfect starry sky, there were extremely backward villages and wild residents who struggled on the edge of life and death all day long.
If these African villagers were given a choice, would they choose a city that could meet their needs or a backward and primitive village that did not even have a medical environment?
The answer was self-evident.
At this moment, Chen Chen was sitting in front of a floor-to-ceiling window in a newly completed building.
This was the newly built office building of Blacklight Biotechnology, with a total investment of 500 million US dollars. The building was 230 meters tall, had a floor area of 150,000 square meters, and the main building had 62 floors.
At the beginning of construction, Chen Chen planned to use this office building as the African headquarters of Blacklight Biotechnology, and also as a landmark of the Eco Science City.
From afar, the entire building looked like a diamond-shaped spire. Even from the Walvis Bay International Airport, it could be seen at a glance.
At this time, Chen Chen was sitting on a black leather swivel chair, holding a goblet in his right hand, and in the goblet was a transparent liquid that was constantly bubbling.
Gently taking a sip of the Sprite in the goblet, Chen Chen looked at the brightly lit night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying this long-lost peace.
It was no wonder that countless people wanted to stand at the top. The higher they stood, the more beautiful the scenery they saw. The ancients were not lying.
"Sir Godfather."
At this moment, Little X's voice suddenly came. "Sir Godfather, recently, the bionic technology in the industrial park has reached a bottleneck."
"Tell me, what bottleneck?" Chen Chen asked without turning his head.
"It's related to holographic technology."
Little X replied, "My computing speed can fully support all the calculations of the bionic project, but when our research team combined the bionic technology from five movies, Alita: Battle Angel, Ghost in the Shell, Terminator, Elysium, and I, Robot, to create a new robot, we found that the development of this bionic technology needs to be paired with holographic technology. Otherwise, some of the calculations can't be simulated at all."
"I remember that among the materials retrieved from Elysium, there's also holographic technology."
Chen Chen frowned. "Can't you replicate that kind of equipment?"
"I'm sorry, to replicate the holographic technology in Elysium, we need a super chip smaller than 1 nanometer scale. At the same time, there's a generation gap between many technologies, we can't do anything."
Little X answered.
Hearing this, Chen Chen immediately fell into deep thought.
"I know of two movies with very advanced holographic projection technology."
After a while, Chen Chen spoke again, "The environmental holographic simulator in Prometheus and the holographic projection in Detective Pikachu, if we can retrieve the technology from these two dimensions, can they replace the holographic stereoscopic technology?"
"Absolutely."
Little X replied, "And it'll exceed it by quite a bit."
"That's good, I'll go to the nuclear power plant now."
At this point, Chen Chen suddenly took a deep breath. He stood up from the chair with the armrest, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Unlike other floor-to-ceiling windows, the floor-to-ceiling window in the chairman's office could be opened.
Chen Chen waved his hand gently. He did not touch the floor-to-ceiling window at all, but the window in front of him opened by itself!
At once, there was a "whoosh" in Chen Chen's ears. A strong cold wind poured in from the outside, causing Chen Chen to subconsciously squint his eyes.
A while ago, Chen Chen absorbed more than 500 crystalline in one go. Since that day, Chen Chen found that his Field energy began to grow at a rapid rate.
At first, it could only affect a few dozen grams of matter, then it became a few hundred grams, but now, it could affect hundreds of kilograms of matter.
Sure enough, as the number of crystalline absorbed increased, the power of Field energy increased at a rapid rate.
At this time, Chen Chen listened to the whistling wind in his ears and looked at the bright night view outside the window. He suddenly had an idea.
As if thinking of something, Chen Chen suddenly took two steps forward and stood directly at the edge of the floor-to-ceiling window. Even half of his feet were suspended in the air outside the window.
Chen Chen did not look down but spread his arms like a bird spreading its wings. At the same time, he took a deep breath and his body trembled slightly with excitement.
"Come on, this is the beginning of my transcendence!"
The corner of Chen Chen's mouth curled up into a smile, then he lost his balance and jumped directly from the 62nd floor!
"Rumble..."
His ears were filled with the deafening sound of the wind and his clothes were fluttering. The strong sense of weightlessness made Chen Chen's adrenaline soar, but he still just stretched out his arms and stared at the ground that was getting closer and closer.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Eight seconds, nine seconds, ten seconds...
Something strange happened. Although Chen Chen seemed to be landing at an extremely fast speed, for some reason, his speed did not continue to increase due to gravity. Instead, it seemed to violate the law of gravitational acceleration, falling at a uniform speed of more than ten meters per second.
After fifteen seconds, the moment Chen Chen was about to touch the ground, his rapidly falling body strangely paused again and then, with a thud, Chen Chen's feet landed heavily —
He jumped from a 200-meter-tall building without the assistance of any tools and came out unscathed!
Fortunately, it was late at night and Chen Chen's shocking scene was not noticed by anyone.
Obviously, this was the effect of Field energy.
Indeed, according to the laws of physics, no matter how strong a person was, they could not lift themselves because the human arm relied on the fulcrum of the body to do work.
However, an invisible force like Field did not need any support. As long as there was enough strength, Chen Chen could rely on Field to support his high-speed falling body, even to escape gravity and spread his wings to fly...
However, the power and durability of Chen Chen's Field energy were temporarily not enough to allow him to fly, so it could only be used to cushion the landing.
After this crazy move, Chen Chen called Cheng Cao. Soon, Cheng Cao trotted out of the door of the office building, but at a glance, he saw Chen Chen standing outside the door.
"Boss, you..."
Cheng Cao suddenly looked stunned. He had been waiting on the first floor. If Chen Chen came out, he would see him immediately, but now Chen Chen appeared out of thin air outside the building. What was going on?
Chen Chen waved his hand and did not explain. "Cao, take me to the nuclear power plant."
"... Okay."
Cheng Cao suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and hurriedly went to the parking lot to drive the car over. After Chen Chen got in the car, he skillfully drove in the direction of the nuclear power plant.
During this period, the USB drive had obtained a sum of power again, but Chen Chen needed to allocate half of the power to maintain the operation of the Eco Science City, so the power accumulated in the USB drive was a lot less than before.
This was also the reason why Chen Chen was eager to study nuclear fusion. As the scale of the Eco Science City grew, the electricity that could be distributed by this nuclear fission power station was bound to be less and less, unless Chen Chen did not develop the Eco Science City, but that would be a very foolish thing to do.
Therefore, Chen Chen would need a larger and more abundant power to support the operation of the USB drive sooner or later.
Soon, Chen Chen arrived at the Blacklight Nuclear Power Plant again.
He walked into the main control room of the substation that had been sealed for a long time. At this time, the USB drive was shining like the Milky Way, and he could easily see the dense light spots on it.
Chen Chen took out the USB drive. Outside the room of the main control room, Little X had ordered the Black Knights to once again open up a safe area and set up layers of protection, ready to fight.
The reason for this was that this time, Chen Chen was not extracting things from the USB drive as usual, but was preparing to activate the second state of the USB drive.
The reason for this was because in the movie 'Prometheus', there was a translucent glass cylindrical device. It was a product of Weyland's company when they entered the luxury goods market.
The full name of this product was "Holographic Environment Simulator". It allowed the user to create a unique living environment according to their own aesthetics and emotions, and at the same time, it could also receive holographic video information from all over the world.
It specifically appeared in the room of the character in the movie — Theron.
However, it was certainly not possible to simply extract this device. It was obvious that this device was only a terminal, just like the fully automated medical platform Medpod.
It was the same for the 3000, in order to play its role, there must be hidden components such as the host.
This was even more so with the holographic technology in Detective Pikachu.
In this movie, there was far more amazing holographic technology than Prometheus. In Chen Chen's view, this technology was enough to pass off the fake as the real thing, to the extent of a brain in a jar!
