In the 6505th year of the Xia calendar,

a new day in Harbour City, when Lin Jiang saw Cao Ying, he sensed that her true body had returned, and Cao Ying smiled brightly.

"Breakthrough?"

"Yes"

"Can you tell me where you hid?"

"Don't you allow me to have a secret base? Besides, this world is very big, with so many mountains and rivers, can you find the whole world?"

Cao Ying said with a smile. This world is very big. Although China has flown out of the solar system, we don't know much about this world. The vast ocean and the mysterious underground are places that humans rarely set foot on.

"Next time you play missing, I will turn the whole world over again"

"Then there will be no next time"

"That's good, so I don't have to worry about it. What did you realize during this breakthrough?"

"I can't tell you"

"Are you playing this trick with me too?"

"You think you are joking about the secrets of heaven that cannot be revealed? Some things should not be said, otherwise they will become distorted if you say them out"

"I will be unhappy if you do this"

Lin Jiang said, Cao Ying is also playing this trick, what secrets of heaven cannot be revealed.

"Haha, I'm kidding. If you break through, you break through. There's nothing to comprehend. It's just like that. Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. I haven't been back for several years. Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal."

"Didn't we eat last night?"

"What the substitute eats doesn't count. It's not what I eat."

Cao Ying pulled Lin Jiang back to the living room of the villa manor and asked the chef to cook. There were not many chefs in the villa manor, only about ten people, but they could cook food from various cuisines. They were all compound talents.

After a meal, Cao Ying talked about many things. The thinking of the substitute was always not as good as the real body. She might want to make up for what she wanted to say but didn't say in the past few years.

A month later, Lin Jiang and Cao Ying came to the lunar base. They came here because Zhu Bin invited them. Zhu Bin is now in the state of integration. He is the one who did not use treasures to break through.

After advancing to the state of integration, Zhu Bin's formation level improved again, and he specialized in teleportation formation, so he made a great breakthrough. The transmission distance suddenly increased from the original 5 million kilometers to hundreds of millions of kilometers.

"Ancestor Lin, this is the latest teleportation array we developed. At this point in time, the distance between the moon and Venus is about 120 million kilometers. Do you want to try to teleport to Venus?"

Zhu Bin was full of energy. In the field of array formation, no one is his opponent now, and other array masters are one level weaker than him.

"At first glance, the scale of the teleportation array is several times larger than before. How far can it teleport?"

"300 million kilometers"

"Didn't you say it was only hundreds of millions?"

"I strengthened it again. It has passed the experiment, and we have also solved the technology of different transmission frequencies caused by the changes in celestial bodies. Within 300 million kilometers, the teleportation array between planets can be transmitted at will, no problem."

"300 million,"

Lin Jiang said. The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, and 300 million kilometers is the speed of light in one thousand seconds, which is the speed of light in more than ten minutes.

"Ancestor Lin?"

"Ahem, I was distracted, I was distracted."

"Ancestor, what are you thinking about? Why are you distracted at this time?"

"Zhu Bin, you asked me to come here because you want to increase the investment, right?"

"Yes."

Zhu Bin did not hide it. China's annual income was so high anyway. If he didn't want it, others would too. The annual expenditure was fixed. Although he didn't think highly of this income, he still had people under him. There were also a large number of people behind him who depended on him for food.

"This is a difficult matter. To be honest, Cao Wang has been increasing the speed of his aircraft. Three hundred million kilometers is equivalent to a dozen minutes at the speed of light. If he develops a light-speed spaceship, you will have no advantage."

"Ancestor Lin, I have sent people to keep an eye on Senior Brother Cao. How could he possibly develop a light-speed spaceship? Don't kid me. The latest model of the engine is theoretically only Mach 10,000, and the speed of light is more than 800,000 times the speed of sound, which is at most one eightieth of the speed of light."

"But Mach 10,000 is also over 10 million per hour, and three hundred million kilometers is only a few dozen hours. In terms of cost, they are more cost-effective."

"This, this..."

Zhu Bin stuttered for a moment, as if this was the truth. If it was not very urgent, it seemed that spending a few dozen more hours flying was not a big deal.

"Zhu Bin, don't be fooled by him. One teleportation array takes more than 30 hours, but there are dozens or even hundreds of teleportation arrays."

"Yes, thank you, Elder Cao, Elder Lin, you are so mean. I almost got fooled by you." As soon as

Cao Ying said that, Zhu Bin immediately realized that it was not that he was not smart, but that he did not get the idea for a while.

Even if we don't mention the distance of dozens of teleportation arrays, what about emergency situations?

"Haha, Zhu Bin, I tell you the truth, I have no money, and the Chinese government has no money either. My money has been emptied by you. Really, my little treasury is already insufficient to make ends meet."

Lin Jiang laughed, but he was telling the truth. He really didn't have much money, unless he sold assets, such as shares in major financial groups or his land, farms, etc., but he wouldn't move these casually, because he needed to settle many people on the land. What would happen to the people on the land if he sold it?

Zhu Bin's face suddenly became ugly when he heard it. This time, he promised his subordinates that he would seek some benefits for them for the technological breakthrough. Could it be that he had to pay for it himself?

"Zhu Bin, how about this, I will invest in you?"

"Grandmaster Cao, you have money?"

"You underestimate me, don't you? Although I am not as rich as Grandmaster Lin, I can still help you with your business."

Cao Ying smiled. She also had industries under her name, not many, about dozens of small goals a year, but she didn't have much expenses and had accumulated a lot of wealth over the years.

Lin Jiang looked at Cao Ying in surprise, but Cao Ying was unmoved and looked at Zhu Bin with a smile.

"Don't touch Cao Ying's money. I still have a few plots of land in Qingyun with some minerals on them. I didn't touch them before. I'll go back and have people mine them. The profits will be given to you. I don't know the exact amount. What do you think?"

"You can also add mine."

"Well, Elder Cao, forget about your money. I'll take Elder Lin's."

Zhu Bin was very tactful and immediately rejected Cao Ying's kindness and asked for Lin Jiang's money. Cao Ying's money was a bit hot to the touch, and Elder Lin was a little unhappy.

"Can we talk about the reason?"

After the discussion with Zhu Bin, Lin Jiang asked Cao Ying privately.

"The reason is very simple. Zhu Bin is a talent and we need to be won over. Their teleportation array has made a huge technological breakthrough this time, and a large group of people want to profit from it. You can't just give them nothing, right?"

"Zhu Bin and his people didn't do much, but they got a lot. You know I'm criticizing them. I don't think you don't understand what I mean and you're deliberately trying to sabotage me."

"I'm not sabotaging you. I just think this kind of thing is meaningless. Zhu Bin has also achieved the Dao. If it were in the era of cultivating immortals, to put it bluntly, the whole world would belong to us, the Dao ancestors. They are already very law-abiding."

"You're changing the subject."

"I didn't. If you keep asking, I'll say that I'm tired of staying in this world and want to find aliens. You told me hundreds of years ago that you wanted to go on a real interstellar voyage with me. Today's space motherships are fully fueled and can fly for hundreds of years. When will you go with me?"

"The time is not right yet, and the technology is not yet mature. Hundreds of years of flying is just flying a few star systems. It's useless. The nearest habitable planet outside the earth is several light years away."

"Then what's wrong with me going all in on space technology? What's the point of keeping my property? I don't have any apprentices or offspring. I don't have much money to spend. What's the point of keeping it? Will it breed worms?"

"You're right no matter what you say. You win."

"Of course I win. I'm right. Zhu Bin doesn't need my investment. I'll go find Cao Wang. There's a bigger bottomless pit over there,"

Cao Ying said. When Lin Jiang heard this, his heart became more serious, and finally he sighed.

Cao Ying was not joking. She really found Cao Wang very quickly and donated 99% of her savings to him, asking him to increase his investment.

"Cao Wang, my money is not easy to take. Within a hundred years, increase the speed of the aircraft to one tenth of the speed of light. Is this a high requirement?"

"Grandmaster Cao, your money is hot." "It's

hot, but there's nothing I can do. You've already signed the donation contract. Lin Jiang has never put pressure on you. I'll give you this pressure. Increase the speed to one tenth of the speed of light within a hundred years, otherwise your funds will gradually weaken in the future. Or I'll replace you with someone capable. There aren't many other things in China now, but there are really many geniuses at the level of demons. Over the past few hundred years, there are at least dozens of them. Do you think I'm right?"

"Yes,"

Cao Wang said helplessly. There are really many geniuses at the level of demons in China, one every few decades on average. The key is that these geniuses have obtained the best treasures and will find ways to extend their lifespans. Over the past few hundred years, there are dozens of them in stock. In terms of

intelligence and talent, Cao Wang can't compare with them. There's no way to say this. It's innate. Cao Wang can control the overall situation because of his identity as a cultivator.

"Since there is no problem, then go do your work. I'm leaving."

"Ancestor Cao, I also want to break through the Hedao,"

Cao Wang said hurriedly. He hasn't broken through the Hedao yet. He is only in the middle stage of returning to the void, which is considered backward among the awakened immortals.

"The elixir will be prepared for you. I said, no one can take it away. Whether it can be done depends on your ability."

Cao Ying waved his hand. The first batch of Hedao treasures has been used up, but the second batch is about to start. After all, it has been hundreds of years since they woke up.
