It is estimated that building a huge "cross-regional combined bridge" would require an investment of at least several hundred billion US dollars!
Hundreds of billions of dollars!
Even for Lan Ling today, even if he discovered two world-class oil fields and spent hundreds of billions of dollars, he would still feel the pain.
Therefore, the royal family, the government and other parties held a meeting to discuss this matter intensely.
Discussion topics such as:
Whether the cross-district bridge is beneficial to the development of Lanling Kingdom.
Whether it is in the interests of Lan Ling.
And so on and so forth.
Many items and clauses need to be discussed one by one.
After several meetings, the meeting results were handed over to Ling Wenbo.
Finally, Ling Wenbo reviewed and issued an order to formally establish the "Cross-District Bridge" project team and officially prepare for the cross-district bridge project.
…
December 28th.
On this day, Ling Zhou met two building materials experts and Boone Kailan.
These two building materials experts are both from Lanling. They are currently working at Lanling University as professors in the Department of Materials, majoring in architectural engineering.
Being able to serve as a professor at Lanling University requires one to have relatively high professional qualities.
…
"Professor Han, Professor Liang, Mr. Boone, please take a seat."
In a relatively remote small building in the palace, Ling Zhou smiled and invited everyone to sit down.
Professor Han and Professor Liang are both middle-aged Asian men.
Among them, Professor Han wore a pair of glasses and had an elegant temperament that showed his wide knowledge and scholarship.
Professor Liang’s image is a little bit unlike that of a professor.
This is a big bald man, two meters tall and with a strong build. If you don't know him, you would never think that he is a university professor. It would be more accurate to say that he is a physical education teacher.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Everyone thanked him and sat down.
Then the servant brought tea.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ling Zhou looked at the two professors and said, "Professor Han, Professor Liang, I think you also know the purpose of inviting you here this time."
Professors Han and Liang nodded upon hearing this.
They frowned again, and Professor Han said, "Your Highness, the material you are talking about..."
They still couldn't believe that there would be a material used to build a cross-regional bridge that could withstand super typhoons above level 16.
Ling Zhou smiled, glanced at Boone beside him, then leaned lazily in his chair and took a rest.
He had already told Boone about the technical aspects of the materials, so he didn't need to go through the trouble of explaining them.
"Professors, please follow me."
Boone said.
Upon hearing this, Professors Han and Liang glanced at Ling Zhou, stood up, and left with Boone.
Then they came to a closed room.
This is a makeshift laboratory.
The reason for choosing such a remote small building is also because of this laboratory.
This laboratory is a production room for new steel and cement materials, and also a place to experiment with their effects.
Ling Zhou didn't know what was happening in the laboratory, nor did he pay attention to it. He was thinking about something else.
An hour ago, Chen Yiru told him that Lanling University called and said that they would organize a nationwide tour for the freshmen of this year on New Year's Day to welcome the new year.
According to the organizers of the event at Lanling University, the country's territory has expanded and the country has become stronger, so the new generation of young college students naturally need to become familiar with their own country.
So this event came about.
This event is massive.
After all, Lanling University has so many majors and there are quite a lot of freshmen!
This national tour lasts for one month, and the first stop is Huilan District.
He was wondering whether he should participate.
Perhaps because of his high intelligence, he unconsciously had a bad feeling about this "national tour" activity.
At this time, Boone came out with Professors Han and Liang.
The two professors had a look of surprise and shock on their faces at this moment.
The scene in the laboratory before was so shocking to them.
"How does it feel?"
Ling Zhou asked with a smile.
“It’s incredible.”
Professor Han said excitedly.
"If we use this material to build a cross-district bridge, it is completely feasible! It can be expected that when our Lanling cross-district bridge is completed, it will shock the world and become the first coordinate building of our Lanling, and even one of the top ten wonders of the world."
Professor Ling also said excitedly.
They are all native Lanling people and the original inhabitants of Lanling Island. They have lived on the land of Lanling Kingdom all their lives. The living environment of Lanling Kingdom has made them fall in love with this country. Naturally, they hope that this country will become better, stronger and more prosperous.
"I wonder if you would like to join the 'Inter-District Bridge' project team?"
Ling Zhou stood up and asked them.
"Of course I am willing."
Professors Han and Liang said this almost in unison.
"Well, welcome, both of you. Now, the research and development of new materials will be left to you."
Ling Zhou smiled and clapped his hands.
In fact, he was also a deputy team leader of this project team and was qualified to invite the two to join. Of course, his position as deputy team leader was just a nominal one, and he was too lazy to take care of things normally.
You know, the construction period of this bridge is very long!
He doesn't want to waste several years on this project.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will never let the kingdom down. However, as for the school..."
Professor Han said hesitantly.
"The royal family will help you communicate with the school and reserve your position. Your courses will be temporarily taught by other professors."
Ling Zhou said.
"good."
This time, Professors Han and Liang did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
Ling Zhou smiled when he heard this and looked at Boone.
Afterwards, Ling Zhou communicated with them again, then left the remote building and returned to his own courtyard.
…
"Your Highness, the Royal Assets Management Committee has taken action."
Back in the courtyard, Ling Zhou lazily lay on the chair, Xiao Lian automatically walked up to him, poured him a cup of tea, and then came behind him and massaged his shoulders.
At this time, Chen Yiru walked over and said.
"Hmm? What?"
Ling Zhou didn't react for a moment.
action?
what?
"The royal family, the Lanling government, and the Lanling Central Bank have jointly mobilized $38 billion to short oil. This huge amount of money has gradually entered the market."
Chen Yiru said.
Ling Zhou was silent for a moment after hearing this.
"How is the preparation of Yuanzhou Investment Group going?"
Ling Zhou asked.
"Yuanzhou Investment Group" is an investment group proposed by Lingzhou a few months ago in order to better manage his own corporate industries.
After all, if the subsidiaries are too dispersed, it will be very difficult to manage and prone to loopholes.
