200 billion US dollars!

Even if the royal family contributed a large part, or even if the Lanling government contributed only one-third, it would still cost more than 60 billion US dollars. It would be unreasonable for the government to use such a large amount of money to build a cross-regional bridge without holding a press conference to explain it to the public.

But Ling Zhou was a little puzzled. Why were there no government officials participating in today’s press conference?

Why did they leave it entirely to them, the siblings?

Hearing this, Ling Lanxin nodded and agreed with her brother's statement.

Although Lanling Kingdom is an absolute monarchy, the royal family has a high status and the monarch has absolute power in the country. But modern society is not the same as before. When carrying out some major projects, we must also take into account the emotions of the people.

"But, brother, where are we going to do the field experiment? The test site hasn't been prepared yet! Where are we going to do the experiment later?"

Ling Lanxin asked.

Ling Zhou smiled when he heard this, stretched himself, and said, "Sister, don't we have a ready-made test site?"

"oh?"

Ling Lanxin was stunned at first, then suddenly realized.

Since the Lanling royal family and senior government officials have decided to build the "cross-district bridge" project, they have naturally made all preparations.

Especially in terms of technology.

Especially the new material forging provided by Lingzhou seems to have been through a lot of trials and tribulations over the past month.

Moreover, after the successful development of the finished materials, the Lanling military built a fortress on a deserted island that was not suitable for human habitation, and bombed it with missiles to test the fortress's sturdiness.

And today, this architectural fortress still exists.

"Sister may have guessed it. Yes, it is the deserted island No. 3 in our Lanling Sea. I will order the nearby military base to mobilize a missile to bomb it. Wouldn't that complete the experiment?"

Ling Zhou said with a smile.

He paused and said, "Sister, please help me contact the military and ask them to prepare for the experiment."

"I can't help you with this. You have to contact them yourself."

Ling Lanxin said with a smile.

Ling Zhou was stunned when he heard this, then he looked at his sister speechlessly, turned to Chen Yiru and instructed: "Sister Yiru, contact the military in my name."

Chen Yiru nodded after hearing this.

Soon, Ling Zhou's request reached the military.

Afterwards, the military reported the matter to Ling Wenbo.

After Ling Wenbo received the news, he still only said, "For this matter, everything shall be arranged by the prince."

Then, at a military base near Deserted Island No. 3, missiles were ready and aimed at the fortress on Island No. 3, ready to conduct a second bombing experiment at any time.

However, what worries the relevant departments of the Lanling government and the "cross-district bridge" project team is that if the fortress cannot withstand a second bombing and collapses, that would be terrible.

After all, this is a global live broadcast.

If a missile hits and the fortress collapses, it would be a disgrace to the whole world.

When Ling Zhou heard these worried remarks, he just said lightly...

"If a solid fortress built with 'new materials' can't even withstand a second missile strike, then why are we building a 'cross-district bridge'? We might as well just disband and go home."

When everyone heard this, they realized it was true.

A cross-district bridge is a long-term project. It can only withstand one typhoon but not a second one. So what's the point of building it?

However, some people have suggested that we can postpone the press conference and conduct a second bombing in private. After the test is successful, we can broadcast it live. If we cannot afford it, we can conduct in-depth research and development on new building materials, and then we can ensure that it is foolproof.

However, Ling Zhou simply ignored this suggestion.

In his opinion, the future technology provided by the system is still very secure.

Although this system is sometimes unreliable, the products it provides are still great.

…

Backstage at the press conference.

In the lounge, Ling Lanxin looked at her brother with a smile. Seeing how he dealt with the high-ranking officials of government departments, she had a feeling that her brother had really grown up.

“It’s so quiet up front!”

Ling Zhou was looking at an LCD screen, which showed the situation at the front of the press conference.

Ling Lanxin smiled upon hearing this and said, "Brother, you also said that many people cannot understand the field experiments. Only professionals can understand them. The people present are all media reporters, so they naturally feel that this experiment is bland and nothing to watch."

Ling Zhou nodded and looked at Chen Yiru beside him, "Sister Yiru, what's going on online?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiru picked up the tablet and took a look, then said, "Nothing happened. It's just some ordinary netizens discussing it. There are also some experts making some comments."

Hearing this, Ling Zhou stretched lazily, leaned back on the sofa, and said, "Sister, I'll take a nap. Call me after the experiment is over."

As he said this, he closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Ling Lanxin shook her head and stopped talking.

What they didn't know was that although there was no discussion on the Internet, the construction giants who were paying attention to the press conference and countless people in the industry around the world were all shocked.

They are all insiders. This seemingly ordinary experiment is like reading an incomprehensible book to ordinary people, and they cannot understand it at all.

But they are all experts in the industry, they can understand it!

After seeing this experiment, they were basically certain that what Ling Zhou had said before was not false.

For a moment, these construction tycoons could no longer sit still.

After seeing this experiment, they have determined that building the Lanling "cross-district bridge" is not a dream.

All of a sudden, even the president of the world's number one construction company immediately ordered his secretary to prepare a special plane to fly to Lanling.

It can be imagined that no matter which company takes on this project, once it is completed, the benefits to the company will be absolutely huge.

…

Europe.

Dany, Hess, Eald, Prince Goode, Princess Irene and others sat together.

"I never thought that His Highness Zhou would make such big news in just a few days."

Dani said with a smile as she watched the live broadcast of the press conference on the LCD screen.

"I didn't expect that the Lanling Kingdom actually developed this kind of building material. I guess this material was successfully developed a long time ago, but it was used in the military before."

Princess Irene of the Kingdom of Bain also exclaimed in praise.

Although they didn't understand the experiment, there were people around them who explained it specifically to them!

"Yeah! That's good, but I'm more looking forward to the field experiment. Could it be that the field experiment involves bombing with missiles?"

Hess said with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to it too. Look, the field experiment is almost over."

Princess Lan Bei pointed at the live broadcast screen and said with a smile.
