Chu Nian continued her days of collecting high-tech books and wandering around the school and the dilapidated courtyard. But she never expected that no sooner had Tan Yunqi left than a group of people came and rebuilt the wall around her courtyard, making it several meters higher than before.
Several meters... meters... meters...
Why did you build this high wall?
When Chu Nian came home from school the next day, she was dumbfounded when she saw the impossibly high wall. She recognized the leader of the group of workers who were still installing the door as one of the officials who had come the day before. She went up to him and asked, "What are you doing?"
The official in the official hat was dressed in plain clothes today. When he saw Chu Nian, he immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "The higher-ups have instructed that this courtyard is full of important documents and must be strictly protected."
Chu Nian's eyes were deep and mysterious, making him unconsciously turn his face away: Strange, she's just a little girl, why does she make him feel like he can't look her in the eye?
Chu Nian said, "This is my home!"
The official in the official hat said, "I know. Don't worry, it's just intensive protection; it won't cause any inconvenience to your studies or life."
Over there, the workers had already installed the door and handed the key to the official. He quickly handed all the matching keys to Chu Nian, saying very politely (ingratiatingly), "Please take these."
Chu Nian reached out and took it, then looked up and saw other workers installing electric fences on the wall. Startled, she pointed at the workers and exclaimed, "What are they doing now? This isn't a prison!"
The official in the official hat still smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry, it's just to prevent anyone from climbing over here. Also, our people will be stationed nearby, so you can contact them if you need anything..." He pointed to an inconspicuous little inn nearby.
Several people leaned out of the windows on the second floor of the inn, and when they saw the official's hat pointing in their direction, they waved in their direction.
The official in the official hat said, "You also know the importance of those materials. Mr. Tan... specifically instructed before he left that they must not be leaked in any way."
Chu Nian had considered this when she wrote to Tan Yunqi, so although the courtyard house she bought was dilapidated, she never renovated it and moved in directly. Now, look at the result…
Although I was a little surprised, it was ultimately expected: the courtyard wall was just too high! And why install an electric fence?
Chu Nian leisurely used the high-end key to unlock the new lock and went home.
Although this type of lock will become more popular in the coming years, most people still use padlocks. When they see this type of lock, they usually have to ask how to open it.
The official was somewhat surprised to see the girl pick up the key and use it so easily. He never expected that a country girl from such a small place would be just as knowledgeable as him, who had grown up in the capital.
"By the way, what's your name?" Chu Nian asked, sticking her head out as she parked the car in the yard.
The man in the official hat said, "My name is Liu Gang, you can call me Brother Liu!"
Chu Nian nodded to indicate that she understood.
These people weren't bad people; they just rebuilt her courtyard wall and replaced the gate with one that had better security. The house itself remained untouched.
It's also fortunate that they didn't move.
Chu Nian unlocked the padlock and entered the house. She reached out and lightly touched the door frame on her right, and many mechanisms made of extremely fine fishing line inside automatically retracted.
When Tan Yunqi arrived yesterday, Chu Nian put away these mechanisms in front of him, but only before turning on the lights. It's likely that Tan Yunqi had no idea these mechanisms existed.
It was also thanks to Tan Yunqi's two visits, both times he waited outside with his men and didn't even come into the courtyard.
A few days later, Liu Gang told Chu Nian that his superiors had sent a team to Zhegushan to investigate. This meant that Chu Nian's proposed conditions were very promising.
In fact, software development, because computers were only recently introduced, is still a completely new term for most people. However, given the research and development of advanced weaponry, many military professionals know what this term means.
Chu Nian proposed building a software development base. If this can be implemented, it could allow the public to quickly gain exposure to and understanding of this industry, potentially leading to its faster development than in Ling Nian's previous two lives.
Chu Nian made this decision after careful consideration. Firstly, if it were to be built, the current situation in Zhegutun should be improved quickly. Secondly, this industry is an emerging industry, and the area that Tan Yunqi is researching is closely related to the military high technology that Xiao Country attaches great importance to. It will most likely receive support from the military, which also ensures its feasibility.
News of an important leader's inspection tour of the Zhegushan area spread quickly, and business elites like Zhou Chaoyang were among the first to receive the news. With their extensive networks, business people like him had the widest and fastest access to information in this era before the development of digital information.
He not only learned about the leaders' inspection, but also found out that they were military leaders who wanted to build a software development base. He had just successfully acquired the land in the city center and didn't have much spare money left, but he still didn't want to give up this opportunity.
He quickly found Li Fangqi.
"Fangqi, you're from Zhegutun, and your relationship with Major Lou is special. Try to pull some strings; you should be able to get the development rights!" Since it was Thursday and school wasn't closed, Zhou Chaoyang called Li Fangqi from her dormitory. He pulled her aside and whispered about the Zhegutun Mountain development plan before eagerly asking her this question.
"What software development base?" Li Fangqi asked in surprise. She knew a little about software, but in her previous life, she had lived for decades and there was no software base built on Zhegu Mountain.
She then asked, "Where did you get this information?"
Zhou Chaoyang: "It was a friend of mine in Beijing who told me this. Apparently, it's been decided that a completely confidential military software base will be built deep in Zhegu Mountain; and on the outskirts, a new science and technology park will be built around Zhegu Mountain, mainly for the development and research of business software and communication software."
“That’s impossible,” Li Fangqi said. Such a major undertaking, if it really happened, she couldn’t have been completely unaware of it in her previous life. However, she had heard of that so-called new technology park in her previous life, but it wouldn’t be built for another seven or eight years, and it was located in the capital.
Zhegushan is just a barren, desolate mountain, where nothing grows that can generate income; otherwise, the people of Zhegu Village wouldn't be so poor. Transportation there is also underdeveloped. Building a science park requires constructing roads first, but mountain roads are incredibly expensive to build!
Zhou Chaoyang said anxiously, "This news was leaked by a friend of mine in an important department in the capital. It's almost certainly true. Didn't you hear a thing?"
Li Fangqi frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll go home this weekend and check things out. I'll contact you again after I've verified the information."
