In the face of the serious attitude of the US officer, Zhang Lisheng smiled noncommittally and did not say anything more. However, when he looked at the steel machine with thousands of mechanical arms swinging continuously in the distance, an uneasy look appeared in his eyes.
Forty minutes later, the battleship docked at the New York military base. Due to the reason that Joss' adjutant was waiting at the harbor, the young man had no choice but to meet the base commander and Captain Alansol, who was stationed at the military base by Atlantis.
Pretending to be exhausted, he explained the exploration of the Shrimp World No. 2 clearly and promised to submit a written report on the Wizard Li tribe within a month at the latest. After talking nonsense for a long time, Zhang Lisheng finally escaped from the New York base. It was already late at night at this time.
In late autumn, the temperature under the gentle moonlight was already a little cold. Other than the LS Group's factory office, the young man, who had nowhere else to go in New York, took a hot bath and stood by the glass wall to push open a nearly invisible window. Breathing in the cold air, he tried to dial a familiar number.
"Du du du …" As expected, his mother and girlfriend's cell phones were busy. Charlie's phone, on the other hand, was quickly picked up, but it was his secretary who spoke. "Doctor, Mr. Charlie has been working in the three oases in Noah World's New California for the past two weeks. I'll inform him of your return to New York as soon as possible."
"There's no need for that. I'll also rush to Noah World soon. I'll contact him myself when I get there. Goodbye." The result of trying his luck was not good. Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone in low spirits and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he made up a message and threw his phone on the desk. He walked to the middle of the red cashmere map and sat on the floor, closing his eyes slowly.
Not long after, under the illumination of the dim moonlight, the young man's long breaths gradually became shorter. As he inhaled and exhaled rhythmically, the weeds and green trees growing in the wilderness within ten kilometers of the distant coastal sea began to ripple in an extremely faint manner in accordance with the rhythm.
Time passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the moon sank below the sea level and the rising sun began to emit bright light.
When the sun shone on Zhang Lisheng's face through the glass wall, the young man blinked and stood up. Striding to the refrigerator, he took out a can of Coke and opened it. After tasting it and realizing that it was tasteless, he sighed and threw it into the trash can with a wry smile.
Just as the iron can was thrown out, the office door was pushed open, and a slender and curvaceous figure, beautiful face, and capable temperament walked in with large strides.
"Good morning, Maddy. It's a good thing that you're in New York. Oh …" Zhang Lisheng said with a shrug when he saw the pretty beauty wearing an exquisitely tailored royal blue professional suit barging into the office and walking towards him. However, before he could finish his words, his mouth was already blocked by a warm lips.
One was passive while the other was automatic. After the two of them kissed for a while, Maddie suddenly let go of the young man and asked in shock, "Why are your lips so cold? W-What's wrong with you, Lisheng?"
"My body is' dead '," Zhang Lisheng seized the opportunity to push the girl away and replied, "This is a checkpoint of cultivation, a checkpoint of rebirth after death. After I break through, I'll become …"
"Become as' omnipotent 'as Jesus?" The beauty's eyes widened as her imagination ran wild, interrupting the young man's words.
In the eyes of the Westerners, the most famous resurrected person was Jesus who signed the New Testament with all living beings. It was not surprising for Maddie to have such an understanding. However, when Zhang Lisheng recalled the description of the Son of God in the Bible, he shook his head and said, "My strength should be greatly improved after I'm resurrected, but it's impossible for me to reach the point of omniscience and omnipotence.
Alright, Maddie, myths are too vague and can't help us at all. Let's talk business first. Oh, I have a translation device used by the Atlanteans here. Is there any imitation in the market now? "
"Lisheng, and it's not just an imitation. Do you know that the Atlanteans have another civilian fleet that arrived on Earth two months ago?" Looking at the almost transparent earplugs, bracelets, and recessive lenses that the young man took off from his face, Maddie actually took off the same things from her eyes, ears, and teeth. "There are a few businessmen who have mastered the manufacturing technology of this kind of translation device.
They have deep cooperation with Logitech, IBM, and Huawei, and they have already launched the same product as the one in your hand.
Many sociologists have predicted that once this kind of translation device is popularized, it will be equivalent to the unification of the language and writing of the people on Earth. At that time, the boundaries between countries will gradually become blurred … "
"I don't believe in the beautiful future imagined by those sociologists." Zhang Lisheng took the translation device from the girl's hand and compared it happily. "However, this kind of translation device is indeed a 'weapon' to catalyze civilization. It's great that it's available in the market now. Prepare 10,000 of them for me first."
"Right now, this kind of translation device has just been launched and it's still a luxury item. The price is 12,000 dollars per set, so 10,000 sets would be 120 million dollars. I need your signature to use such a large amount of money." Maddie did not ask the young man about the purpose of buying so many translators at all. Instead, she walked to the desk and turned on the computer, before typing out the authorization letter and said.
"Use the money in my private account to buy them. I'll transfer the money to you in a while. Don't make a big move, just buy them all within 40 days. Oh, that's right! Don't forget to inject all the social and natural science knowledge that you can find into one of the translators, other than sociology."
"Are you planning to set off a 'wisdom storm' in the head of your foreign world's native believers, baby?" Maddie was stunned for a moment. Looking at Zhang Lisheng's faintly proud expression, she suddenly asked.
"Knowledge is power, isn't it?" The young man did not give a clear answer to this question. Instead, he smiled and said, "Let's go, let's stroll in the city. I've lived in the foreign world's jungle for too long, so I really miss the high-rise buildings in Manhattan."
"I don't think you're missing the skyscrapers in New York. Instead, you want to see what changes will happen to the most prosperous economic center on Earth after more and more Atlanteans come to Earth, right?" Maddie walked to Zhang Lisheng's side and took his arm. Smiling, she said, "You better be mentally prepared. I bet you'll be very surprised."
"I'll wait and see then." When the young man saw that the girl had guessed his thoughts for the second time, he replied with a smile. However, in the next few days, even though he was mentally prepared, all sorts of strange things still shocked him.
The most popular dress of young people on the street had a strong Atlantean element. Fair skin had defeated the healthy wheat color to become a fashion element again. If one's skin could not be whitened, they would wear a head of red hair.
Most of the private schools, be it high schools or universities, had an elective course about the history of Atlantis. The number of students who signed up was incredible.
The few Atlanteans who were generally handsome and beautiful, who appeared in films and variety shows, were considered outstanding. They became the stars of the stars, and their appeal was even stronger than Elvis Presley (Elvis Presley).
After more than a year of 'incubation period,' various new instruments with design ideas provided by the Atlantis civilization emerged one after another. Household appliances had a tendency to enter the light energy era … In short, the lives of the Earthlings had undergone great changes unknowingly. The imprint of Atlantis was already so deep that it could be seen.
All of this made the vigilance in Zhang Lisheng's mind gradually escalate. However, the Earth was not the Hellfire sea region, so he could not change anything with his strength. The only thing he could do was to take a civil flight to Feren City, New Mexico, and cross the wilderness to rush to Noah World.
However, when the young man came to the foreign world's oasis, he found that the Atlantean element here was even more exaggerated than on Earth. Riding the jeep that imitated the extended desert troop carrier of the US army, he followed the traffic flow and drove to the edge of New Washington A.
Zhang Lisheng rolled down the window and looked up at the hundreds of light clusters that were brighter than the sun in the sky. After a few minutes of silence, he asked, "Hayde, are there so many Atlanteans using light energy to fly in the sky of New Washington A every day?"
"Yes, Doctor." Hayde, who was driving the car, nodded repeatedly.
"They're already so unscrupulous in Noah, but they're already so cautious in the Shrimp World No. 2 …" The young man muttered to himself and fell into contemplation.
At this time, a light cluster flying in the sky suddenly fell down rapidly. When it was one to two meters away from the ground, it abruptly stopped and slid through the window like a fish to the back seat of the jeep with a gust of wind pressure.
"Trish, I can't believe that it's you who flew to see me after I called Tina … Oh, I haven't seen you for a few months.
Oh, I haven't seen you for a few months and your control of the light stone's power is even better than an ordinary Atlantean soldier. This is incredible! Looks like the biological law that 'mixed-blood species' are generally better than 'pure-blood species' applies to the entire universe. " After snapping back to reality, Zhang Lisheng turned to look at the beautiful red-haired girl in the back seat of the car and said in astonishment.
"I'll take your last sentence as a compliment." Trish, whose skin had become unusually fair and delicate, and whose hair was also much shinier than before, looked back at the young man and said with a charming smile, "Tina has to entertain some businessmen from China at the last minute. I happen to be resting today, so she asked me to pick you up."
"Businessmen from China?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned. "Does Noah World allow foreigners to come?"
"In the whole world, only the US and China have foreign worlds without masters and terrifying creatures. The pressure exerted by other countries is just too great. In order not to be completely isolated by the international community, the two countries can only gradually open Noah and Kunlun to all mankind. The first step is, of course, to open the two countries to each other."
