Chapter 75 Island-wide Inspection? Tianjian Pass Requests Battle!
"One is the 'Heart of Boundary Rock,' and the other is the 'Void Crystal.'"
Zhou Jue hesitated for a moment: "Blue Star might not have these two materials."
"Brother System, does Blue Star have this material?" Zhou Jue then asked the system in his mind.
[No~ One of these is a barrier to a higher-dimensional world, and the other is a spirit stone from a cultivation world. But don't worry, you can buy them in the system shop! Buying fragments of the barrier is enough; both will cost a total of 10,000 points~]
These words instantly dampened the previously heated atmosphere in the conference room.
Chen Jianguo's expression also froze.
Yes, how could such a wondrous structure be built so simply? It's like wanting to build an interstellar warship, only to find you have wood and nails all you have. After immense hope comes even deeper disappointment.
“However…” Zhou Jue looked at the disappointed expressions on everyone’s faces, then changed the subject and revealed a smile that made their hearts jump again: “Although Blue Star doesn’t have it, I have a way to get it.”
Chen Jianguo suddenly raised his head, his breath catching in his throat: "You have a way?"
“Hmm.” Zhou Jue nodded: “I can buy it in my system shop. It’s just… a little bit expensive, but I can still afford it.”
"Buy it! You absolutely have to buy it!"
The answer she received was Chen Jianguo's resolute voice. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned to Commander Zhang, his tone more firm than ever before: "Commander! I suggest that we immediately establish the 'Tianjian Project' top-level special task force! We must spare no expense, prioritize it the highest, and expedite its construction!"
He looked at Chief Zhang and said, word by word, "Safety is the prerequisite for all development! As long as the 'Tianjian Pass' is not completed, we are like living in a house that leaks everywhere! All our scientific research results and all our future plans may be exposed to the spying of others! We cannot take this risk, and we cannot afford to take this risk!"
Chief Zhang nodded slowly. He loosened his grip on the teacup, stood up, and walked to the huge map in the conference room.
His gaze swept across the vast land and the long coastline, his voice steady and powerful.
“Jianguo is right. Xiaojue, you don’t need to have any worries. Just tell me how many energy points you need. The country will find a way to make up for it!”
His hand slammed heavily on the location of the base.
"Operation 'Clean Land' will immediately become a secondary initiative! All resources will be directed towards Project Tianjian! We will not only build it, but we will build it in the heart of our world! I want to make this island the cleanest and safest place in the world!"
"Comrade Xiao Jue!" Commander Zhang turned around and looked at Zhou Jue solemnly.
"Please hand over the blueprints for 'Tianjian Pass'!"
Having received the old leader's firm promise, Zhou Jue had no more hesitation.
On a whim, she brought up the system store.
Sure enough, in the related options of the architectural drawings, she found the two core materials that she had never heard of before.
【Heart of Boundary Rock - Fragment】: Originating from a core fragment of a spatial barrier after a higher-dimensional world shattered, it embodies the fundamental laws of "solidity" and "isolation." It is an excellent material for constructing stable anchor points in hyperspace and dimensional barriers. Price: 2000 points.
[Void Crystal]: Originating from the world of cultivation civilization, it is a pure spiritual crystal formed by powerful cultivators who refine spiritual veins with supreme magical power, removing impurities. It can resonate with the consciousness and spirit of living beings and possesses the characteristics of "insight" and "judgment". Price: 8000 points.
One costs eight thousand, the other two thousand.
That adds up to a full ten thousand points!
Thank goodness I was on a killing spree in the last world, plus the generous rewards, otherwise I really couldn't afford it!
Good heavens, this system must have known she just made a fortune and was waiting here to fleece her.
However, despite his complaints, Zhou Jue understood that the value of these two items could not be measured by points.
Ten thousand points, in exchange for the absolute security of a country, for all researchers to be able to work with peace of mind, and for her to no longer have to worry about being traced by "nails".
This deal was incredibly profitable!
"I bought it!" Zhou Jue thought to himself, and confirmed the payment without hesitation.
[Points - 10,000, Purchase successful!]
[1 Fragment of 'Heart of Boundary Rock' and 1 'Void Crystal' have been stored in the Starlight Scroll.]
For a moment, I felt a pang of heartache. Waaah, I hope I can still make a fortune in the next world!
"Grandpa Zhang, Uncle Chen, I've already bought the core materials." Zhou Jue looked up, his face showing no sign of distress.
"Great!" Chen Jianguo's spirits lifted, and he immediately asked, "What about the blueprints? I'll have them organize an expert team right away to break down the blueprints and design a construction plan!"
Zhou Jue nodded and took out the ancient blueprint that shimmered with a faint glow from the Starry Sky Box.
The blueprints were not made of paper, but of a jade-like material that felt warm to the touch. They depicted a magnificent three-dimensional image of a level with golden patterns that Zhou Jue couldn't understand.
When she placed the blueprints on the conference table, the 3D image was instantly activated, projecting a majestic and imposing phantom of a fortress above the table, exuding an aura of iron will and authority.
The level's structure is intricate and sophisticated, with city walls, arrow towers, and the main building; every detail is filled with an indescribable sense of rhythm, as if it were a living entity itself.
“This…” Sun Jiuchou was the first to rush forward, almost pressing his face against the illusory image, his eyes filled with fervor: “It’s unbelievable! This isn’t architecture, it’s art! No, it’s a miracle! Look at the curvature of this city wall, it perfectly conforms to the golden ratio, yet it also contains some kind of force field structure that we cannot understand…”
Chen Jianguo ignored Sun Jiuchou, who had become obsessed with academic pursuits, and focused on more practical issues.
"Xiao Jue, can we make copies of these blueprints? Or rather, will the engineers be able to understand them?"
“Sure,” Zhou Jue explained. “Just place your hand on the blueprints and think about the parts you need to know, and the relevant construction data, material ratios, and process requirements will automatically appear in your mind. I’ve already tried it, and the data is all labeled in our common standard units, so it’s very detailed.”
As she spoke, she pointed to the top of the main building of the pass and the center of the city gate.
“Look, there are two obvious grooves here. This is where the ‘Heart of Boundary Rock’ and the ‘Void Crystal’ will be placed. Our task is to first build this ‘shell’ exactly as required by the blueprints. After the main body is completed, I will embed the two core materials to fully activate it.”
"That's great!" Chen Jianguo slapped his thigh, his face flushed with excitement.
He immediately called over the guards outside: "Go and notify all the heads of the engineering department, materials department, and logistics department right now. There's a meeting here in half an hour! No, fifteen minutes! Have them run over here!"
The guard responded loudly, then turned and ran off.
The entire base seemed to awaken from its slumber in an instant, transforming into a high-speed war machine.
Looking at the decisive Chen Jianguo, Zhou Jue felt a pang of worry: "Uncle Chen, the blueprints are extremely precise, and the workload is enormous. I only have thirty days of rest this time. Is that enough time...?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo, who had just been giving orders with a serious expression, suddenly burst into laughter.
He turned around, looking at Zhou Jue with immense pride and confidence, and said, "Xiao Jue, you asked a good question, but it's also a bit of an underestimation of me."
He walked up to the huge map and pointed to the land beneath his feet.
"You may not know how long it took us to transform this island beneath your feet from a barren reef into the super base we see today, integrating living, scientific research, and military defense."
Zhou Jue shook his head.
Chen Jianguo held up three fingers: "Three months! We built a skyscraper on flat land at sea in three months! We built a hospital for a thousand people in ten days, and we thought that was routine!"
His voice was filled with a pride that moved even Zhou Jue.
"Thirty days? That's too generous!" Chen Jianguo waved his hand and said with great pride, "Today, I'll show you with my own eyes what it means to be a 'Chinese infrastructure maniac'! You don't need to worry about anything, just leave the blueprints and get some rest! Fifteen days! I'll give you a guarantee that within fifteen days, I'll ensure you see a brand new 'Tianjian Pass' standing on this island!"
"Jianguo, don't take the blueprints out. Jiuchou, you've worked hard these past two days. Draw out all the parts of the blueprints and use the drawings to build the structure."
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
The meeting is now adjourned.
Zhou Jue solemnly handed the blueprints to Chen Jianguo.
Before leaving, Chief Zhang called her back, his gaze gentle yet firm: "Xiao Jue, as I just said, we can't let you sacrifice for the country in vain. We've noted down the 10,000 points you spent this time. So, during your rest period, besides resting, there's one more thing you can do."
He looked at Cheng Gan and said, “Comrade Cheng Gan, you have a new task. You will accompany Comrade Xiao Jue and let her use her special abilities to search within our territory to see if there are any unclaimed objects, such as meteorites, minerals, or other vegetation containing special energy.”
A hint of a smile flashed in Chief Zhang's eyes: "As long as it doesn't involve anything that could shake the very foundations of the nation, collect whatever you can. The country will fully support you!"
He added half-jokingly, "However, we also need to pay attention to sustainable development, just so we don't drive them to extinction."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jue exchanged a glance with Cheng Gan, his eyes darting around, a wicked idea forming in his mind. Hehehe...
