No one objected, and the matter was settled.
Minister Shao quickly relayed everyone's message to Liu Yun, who did not refuse; she did indeed want to go to Shennongjia sometime.
After seeing the angels, Shennongjia at least lost some of its mystery.
Everyone already knows what's inside.
This matter is of great importance, concerning the inheritance of the nation and the continuation of civilization. If she can enter openly and honestly, Liu Yun would not insist on sneaking in.
“I was saying that although the last century was an era, it was still a similar world background, and Shennongjia was not as mysterious as it is now.”
"This is truly a unique feature of this world."
Liu Yun replied with an "okay," but did not specify when she would be going.
Meanwhile, after the break, the meeting moved on to another main topic.
"Those little fleas have finally quieted down and shouldn't be jumping around again anytime soon, so we can focus on developing our domestic business."
"Hmm, the child's methods are still more effective. That really hurt. If he doesn't behave, I'm afraid he'll send me directly to Dongfeng Express."
Although the Dongfeng missile is no longer the most advanced weapon in Yan country, it is well-known among foreigners and still has a strong deterrent effect.
"...Let's get down to business. The Sky Elevator I mentioned earlier has been approved."
"It should be ready to be built now!"
"I'm a little excited. This is such a massive project, the first project to connect the ground and space!"
"Now that we have vertical takeoff and landing technology for airplanes, as well as airships and other means of transportation, climbing Mount Everest is no longer difficult."
"The cost of flying it once might be too much for the average person. Many mountains in China have elevators, so why don't we install one on Mount Everest? I saw this application proposal before and thought it was a bit absurd, but now... I think the technical difficulty is manageable!"
A group of people talked a lot, mostly about infrastructure.
In Yan State today, housing prices have been regulated, the return-to-hometown policy has been effective, and there is a surplus of houses in the city.
Prices are falling, demand is falling, and there are almost no new constructions.
Others are projects that are still unfinished, as well as projects that have begun to be integrated from abandoned ones.
With the addition of vehicle space, road conditions have indeed improved significantly.
Aircraft have undergone extensive upgrades, travel time has been shortened again, and ticket prices have decreased. It's safe to say that travel is becoming increasingly simple and convenient.
Even during holidays, instead of traffic jams, people are stuck in traffic.
Once everyone parked their cars, they had to walk through the traffic jam area on foot. Although it wasn't exactly smooth traffic, at least they kept moving.
When entering or exiting a highway, simply place your vehicle into the machine, and the toll will be deducted immediately.
For example, private cars are exempt from toll fees during holidays!
At least in this respect, the situation has improved significantly, and infrastructure projects such as roads in various places have begun to be reduced indefinitely.
Thanks to the government's vigorous promotion, many tourist destinations are now very affordable and fun. As a result, people no longer only flock to famous places. With faster and more convenient transportation, people can travel further even if they don't have enough time, thus dispersing the flow of tourists.
It's still a traffic jam, at least it won't be completely blocked!
With many infrastructure projects being reduced, more projects need to be developed, which can provide a place for these people and also allow for the construction of more things.
So, the elders are discussing some projects that seem outrageous.
In an attempt to divert attention from the aurora borealis issue, the government directly announced several outrageous resolutions on the evening news.
At first, I didn't pay much attention, since not many people watch the news anymore.
However, some senior high school students are still asking to watch it in order to prepare for the exam.
One by one, people were engrossed in doing homework or scrolling through their phones when they heard on TV that the Mount Everest elevator project had been launched. The project would take six months to build an elevator that would take them directly to the summit, and eight months later it would be fully open to the public for tourism…
Everyone looked up in bewilderment, thinking they were hallucinating from studying.
It immediately caused an uproar.
"what happened?"
"What did I just hear? Building an elevator on Mount Everest?"
"Is this a case of fiction becoming reality? Has our country's technology really reached this level?"
"I heard that too, so are we all dreaming? Or is it real?"
After realizing what had happened, I checked my phone and found the internet was in an uproar.
Eventually, someone saw it and started sharing the link everywhere, promoting the screen recording... At first, some people wondered who made the video, thinking, "How could that be possible!"
But when I clicked on the link, I was shocked to find that it was the official website of the People's Bank of China.
Who would dare post the videos they make here?
If you're fast enough, the news is still running when you click in!
After talking about the Mount Everest elevator, they went on to drop a depth charge.
"Recently... a proposal to build a sky elevator was approved, and the project will be launched soon... It has now entered the bidding and site selection stage..."
A string of words was poured into their ears, and everyone stood there dumbfounded.
"Too, too, too..."
"Can the stuttering in front of me heal on its own? Space elevator, she said space elevator."
"Huh? The one from the novel? The one from the sci-fi movie?"
"CCTV, if you've been kidnapped, just blink. How can you broadcast such outrageous news?"
All the excitement pales in comparison to this topic.
Many celebrities who just bought trending topics are saying: ...Can we not buy it anymore? Can we get a refund?
Could the central bank please give us some advance notice, since it's so late at night?
"Oh my god, am I hallucinating because I've been staying up too late? Am I going to die suddenly?"
"Help, CCTV, can we speak Yan language? Why can't I, a native speaker, understand it?"
Compared to the Sky Elevator project, the previous Mount Everest elevator project looks like a little brother.
Conversely, it wasn't just the audience who went crazy; the major construction companies went crazy too.
The higher-ups are keeping it a secret. All we know is that there are two super-large projects coming up, and one of them might not be able to handle them all. They've asked everyone to team up with a trustworthy partner company first, as we might end up collaborating more.
But what exactly it was, people only found out from the 7 o'clock news.
Recently, infrastructure construction in cities has indeed decreased, but there has been more infrastructure construction in rural areas, although it is mostly small, piecemeal work.
Given the opportunity to secure such a large-scale national project, many construction companies are willing to compete for it.
The country is generous now, readily providing funding, and everyone is vying for projects based on their own abilities, all eager to get started and full of ambition.
Fortunately, Song Ansheng was in a company meeting. His secretary received the message, explained the situation, and turned on the TV.
Everyone was stunned when they heard what was said.
The president of the construction subsidiary, his voice trembling with a hint of tears, asked, "President Song, a space elevator? Who has the capability to build one?"
Is this project still open for bidding?
"It really is a mega-project, much bigger than we imagined!"
"A sky elevator? Holy crap, is this some kind of pipe dream, a way to ascend to heaven in one step?"
