Chapter 450 I Am God (First Update)
When Lin Wen came out, it was already past midnight, but they still managed to board a flight that was temporarily added at the airport.
On such a large passenger plane, there were only Lin Wen and his group.
Shortly after the plane took off, an attendant came to Qin Luoshuang and whispered, "Miss, there are no eavesdropping devices."
Qin Luoshuang nodded slightly and said softly, "Just in case, turn on the shielding net."
A slight background humming sound appeared in the air, and the electromagnetic shielding had been activated.
Qin Luoshuang came to Lin Wen and gently pushed his shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.
"What's wrong?"
"Lin Wen, I have something to tell you."
Lin Wen yawned loudly: "Speak."
Qin Luoshuang took a breath and said carefully: "The Great Elder promised that I can take over as the governor of Changshan County, and I will retain the power of military governorship, finance, and military power."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Isn't this just perfect?"
Qin Luoshuang asked softly: "But, the Great Elder chose you over you..."
Lin Wen asked: "Are there any conditions?"
"No."
"Why is the Great Elder so well all of a sudden?"
Qin Luoshuang asked in a low voice, "Don't you mind at all? They said they would issue a document similar to a law to ensure a smooth transfer of power."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Why should I mind? Didn't I always arrange for you to take over my shift?"
He now finally understood why [Immortal Pointing the Way] had told him not to worry about the successor. He had thought that the emperor of the empire would help him arrange a successor and ensure that the three powers would not be taken back.
I didn’t expect it to be the Great Elder.
Qin Luoshuang stared at his profile and whispered, "Lin Wen, the Great Elder says you'll be killed soon. They say idealists like you are cannon fodder for the times, pawns of the powerful. No matter how strong they appear, they will always make foolish choices in unnecessary situations to satisfy their morally superior hearts."
"It would be like the strongest drug, corroding their spirit, lowering their intelligence, and ultimately leading to a meaningless death like that of a nobody."
Lin Wen's eyes lit up: "Is there such a thing?"
But after a brief recollection, he lost interest.
"That's pure bullshit. It won't kill you. I've tried that before."
"But," Qin Luoshuang said softly, "I've seen it. My biological brother, seven years older than me, rebelled against our father and left the family. He was met by bandits outside. He was just passing by and was originally harmless, but in order to save a few kidnapped children, he was chopped into pieces by the bandits and fed to dogs."
"He could have ignored it, or asked for help, or called the police, or organized others to go with him, or come back and confess to his father, but he chose the most dangerous approach."
"My father confirmed my brother's death only after he found his finger in a dog's stomach. From then on, there was no such thing as a car thief in the group's territory."
"Lin Wen, I'm afraid you'll make the same mistake again."
Lin Wen laughed and said, "Am I being demoted now?"
"If you promise me, I can satisfy your quirk and call you dad from now on."
Lin Wen used [Luan Zhao Shui] to calculate, and it seemed that this would not trigger the method of death to protect children. He said, "Forget it, a forced melon is not sweet. I will slowly enlighten you, from the inside out, from body to mind, so that you can realize that besides me, there is no one..."
This made Qin Luoshuang very angry, and she kicked the plane window so hard that it almost broke.
Fortunately, the Civet Cat spell is one of the rare ones that lasts for sixteen hours.
Lin Wen raised his hand to catch her flying kick and started wrestling with her on the seat. All the agents watched and ignored her.
——
Reichstag.
In the empty hall, the Great Elder was still sitting on the podium.
The general meeting is over and they are holding a small meeting.
The imperial garrison commander hurried over and whispered a few words into the ear of a great elder.
The Great Elder nodded, the Imperial Garrison Commander quickly withdrew, and several congressional representatives present tactfully said their goodbyes.
"Changshan County No. 2 has reported to No. 1."
The great elder Pingyuan said.
"It seems the level of trust between them is high. The attempt to sow discord failed."
"Is it serious?"
The Great Elder shook his head: "As long as the First Princess marries, the rift between them will never be bridged."
"What a shame," said Great Elder Xing Ling. "Pawn Number One, Lin Wen, is too uncertain. He's completely uncontrollable."
"Number two, Qin Luoshuang, is an extremely good chess piece."
The Great Elder nodded: "At least I can understand what she is thinking. It's not as difficult to understand as Number One."
"If she could be a little more outstanding, her presence could split the Qin Group."
At this time, the Minister of Finance of the Imperial Finance Bureau came to the stage and made a detailed report to the Grand Elder.
The economy of the empire was extremely bad in the last quarter. War, unrest, blockades, and over-issuance severely damaged the empire's trade lifeline.
But amidst this dark cloud there are two guiding stars.
One is Yaojing, which has recovered from the turmoil.
The other one is Changshan County, which appears like a comet.
The restored Yaojing showed its unparalleled appeal. In just over a month, it absorbed a large number of unemployed people from the central and southern regions, and even set off a "gold rush" craze to Yaojing.
And when the 110 billion project in Changshan County started, there were more than 500 contractors.
There is also an entire industrial chain including concrete, banking, decoration, design, steel and aluminum, furniture, earthwork, fire protection, elevators, etc.
At least several million people have escaped poverty and have found jobs and income.
At least the industry that employs tens of millions of people has seen hope and has the motivation to continue.
The empire's funding for maintaining stability can also be greatly reduced.
During Changshan County's dazzling development, the ability of its chief, Lin Wen, was remarkable.
Looking at the entire development history of Changshan County, he almost single-handedly dragged Changshan County forward.
In just less than a year, the poorest area of the empire with a population of less than 1.5 million was transformed into a prosperous region with a total population of over 10 million and many important industries in the empire.
"If we use last year's output as the standard, Changshan County's output growth rate this year exceeded 8,000%. However, this was due to its weak foundation and incomplete previous output statistics. After revisions... and corrections, Changshan County's growth rate is only 1,000%."
The Great Elder said nothing. They were used to such small actions and they meant nothing.
We used to try our best to lower the output value of Changshan County, but now we can’t do that anymore, so we can only raise last year’s output value sharply to slow down this year’s development speed.
It serves no purpose other than showing the stupidity of the Imperial Finance Office.
After the finance minister left, the great elder Ping Yuan said coldly, "There are more and more idiots in the empire."
Afterwards, the Great Elder listened to many reports and met with a large number of congressional representatives.
At around three in the morning, the Great Elder finally ended all the meetings.
The Imperial Garrison Commander said, "Great Elder, the issuance of war bonds has the support of everyone. All governors and regions have sent telegrams."
The Great Elder Xing Ling read the telegram for a while and suddenly frowned: "Something is not right with the Qin Group. It has been too quiet recently."
Great Elder Ping Yuan: "Perhaps the development of nuclear weapons contains intelligence we don't know about?"
The great elders didn't say anything.
This matter is difficult to handle at this juncture.
It has only been eight years since the Empire started developing nuclear weapons. Logically speaking, it should not have been possible to develop them so quickly.
"A thorough investigation?"
"No, if Qin Gang is hiding a secret, any unusual movement will force him to launch a rebellion prematurely. We must wait until the Empire's foreign war is over."
"The Empire cannot know about this now."
Great Elder Ping Yuan suddenly asked, "Has the Changshan County Military Expo invited the Southwest District?"
The Imperial Garrison Commander soon received a reply from the Imperial Supreme Military Headquarters.
"No."
"Send one to Qin Gang immediately. The terms are the same. Changshan County cannot refuse any technical cooperation, but the specific terms of cooperation can be negotiated. Sincerity is enough. In addition, Qin Gang will receive 1 billion as an entrance fee."
The Imperial Guardian asked, "What about other areas?"
"Take 100 million."
A young imperial garrison commander asked, "Great Elder, this is clearly blackmail. Will the Qin Group give in?"
The Great Elder smiled gently and said, "He will definitely give it to me, and he will even be very happy."
The young Imperial Guardsman wanted to ask more, but the captain beside him patted him and whispered, "Don't bother the Great Elder with such childish questions. Hurry and escort the Excellencies back to rest. It's already four in the morning, and there's a Supreme Council meeting tomorrow."
The young imperial garrison commander then shut up and hurried to prepare a special car for the great elder.
Before leaving, a great elder placed his hand on the location of Changshan County on the map.
"pity."
——
Southwest District.
Supreme Command Headquarters.
Cao Damang, who was redeemed for a large sum of money, yelled, "One billion? This is fucking extortion? Do you really think the group's money just came from the wind?"
Li Xueyou, known as the battlefield sprinter, also shouted: "The group will never surrender! Iron-clad tough guys are never afraid of fighting! Not a penny will be paid!"
Xu Yongchang was overjoyed and said, "This is good news. Changshan County has a lot of good things. This can enhance our strength and fill our technological gaps."
Cao Damang glared at him. "Are you an idiot? I've already inquired. Others only paid 100 million. Why should we pay 1 billion? If Changshan County opens its bloody mouth and asks for an exorbitant price, and the cooperation agreement fails, won't our 1 billion be wasted?"
Li Xueyou shouted, "That's right. The group has suffered such a huge loss, and funds are already very tight. A man of iron and blood would rather fall than allow himself to be blackmailed!"
Xu Yongchang cursed angrily, "You iron chicken! When Zhang Shuangxi rebelled and stabbed us in the back, you ran away so fast that your shoes fell off. How dare you call yourself an iron-blooded man?"
Li Xueyou angrily said, "This is called a man who knows the current situation is a hero. If I don't run, am I going to be caught? Wouldn't it be better to be captured like this idiot and have to pay a huge ransom to be rescued?"
"What did you say?"
Cao Damang exploded, pointing at his nose and cursing, "I fought tooth and nail on the front lines, and you couldn't even control the troops. You let that son of a bitch Zhang Shuangxi rebel against you, intercept my reinforcements, and make a fool of me. The failure of the Shizhou battle is all because of you!"
Li Xueyou was furious: "Zhang Shuangxi is a local tyrant! Look, he's even become the governor of Shizhou! That shows how powerful he is locally. How can I control the army with so few people?"
"Don't make excuses for incompetence."
"Say it once, and I'll shoot you!"
"Come……"
"Shut up!" Wang Zijun shouted, stopping the riot.
He turned to Qin Gang and said, "Commander-in-Chief, the Empire is about to go to war and is very short of money. The Supreme Council blackmailing us is actually a good thing. This proves that our strategy is correct. Despite the failure in Changshan County, the real nuclear weapons plan has not been exposed."
"Besides, we also have a need for many of Changshan County's technologies. Regardless of whether the cooperation is successful or not, it would be a good idea to go and take a look."
Xu Yongchang said quickly, "Yes, the Chief of Staff said it very well. We can also get to know the enemy who has caused us such great losses. We should know ourselves and the enemy."
Zhang Liyuan said softly: "You can also be with the eldest lady..."
While he was speaking, someone suddenly pulled him from behind.
The generals kept talking to each other, but Qin Gang kept his back to them and said nothing.
After a long while, the generals' noise gradually died down, and he turned around and asked calmly, "Mr. Li, how is the production of the second nuclear bomb going?"
Mr. Li quickly replied, "Commander-in-Chief, I've recalculated the proton decay time, rewritten the chain reaction formula, recalculated the effect of super-energy radiation on neutron tunneling, and adjusted the warhead ammunition ratio and the configuration of the nuclear bomb. It won't be long before we can conduct a second test explosion."
"This time it will definitely succeed."
"Give me a specific time, Mr. Li."
"Uh... three days, no no, a week later."
Qin Gang turned around, his cold and indifferent eyes fixed on him.
Mr. Li showed a confident and strategic expression and did not move at all.
Qin Gang lowered his eyes.
"I hope you can give me a surprise."
"Please rest assured." Mr. Li smiled and said, "This time, we will definitely go a step further than last time."
——
Yunxiao Mountains.
The research base of the evolutionary sect.
Among the experimental subjects sent by Yu Zhongxian, Mosili discovered a person with extremely strong vitality. He was not only fully adaptable to the transformation of the insect body, but also able to withstand the erosion of high-concentration solar solution.
A pure body that has reached the third form appears.
It has a burly body and a tall stature, and its chitinous shell has become rough and cold, like the discarded steel of the industrial age.
But Mosili knew that this was the result of the massive growth of bundled fibers, and its strength far exceeded that of the insect man in the "mayfly" form.
The test results also prove this.
The battle ended in a crushing defeat, and it easily tore the "Mayfly" to pieces.
"very good."
Moxley ordered: "Send the identification of this special experimental subject, and quickly let Yu Zhongxian find more people like this!"
"Tell him that a super-individual who can truly dominate modern warfare is about to appear."
——
To the Winter Palace.
After finishing all the affairs, Yu Zhongxian sat on his Iron Throne. The icy air flowed around him, and there was no warmth in the Winter Palace.
An almost invisible shadow handed a briefing to the being on the throne.
In the darkness, only a cold laugh was heard.
"I am God."
