[Congratulations to the host for successfully selling the amethyst mine and obtaining 340 million gold coins.]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully selling the sapphire mine and obtaining 270 million gold coins.]
[Current balance: 850 million.]
Before going hunting, Zhang Shuguang turned a corner and collected the amethyst and sapphire veins, and the system gold coins successfully broke through the 800 million mark.
If we follow the previous system upgrade rules, we can upgrade again with another 150 million gold coins.
However, the system has said that it has been upgraded to the final version and will not be upgraded again in the future.
Zhang Shuguang had no regrets, only gratitude. After all, he had gained so much from the system, so much that it was unimaginable.
When he first traveled through time, he was a starving teenager, living a hard life bearing the stigma of being a traitor's son.
Now I see that I have reached the pinnacle of this world.
This peak is not about status, but about the abilities that one possesses.
The powerful pill gives him the power of a king.
The body-strengthening pills gave him a strong physique, and ordinary weapons could not hurt him at all.
The art of disguise allows him to have many different faces and change into various forms.
His proficiency in firearms has enabled him to master various firearms, making him one with the gun and able to hit the target every time.
His proficiency in driving has enabled him to expertly operate various modes of transportation, including land, sea and air.
His proficiency in cold weapons made him a master of ancient martial arts, proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons.
His proficiency in hidden weapons allowed him to transform into the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. Even the overwhelming swarm of killer bees could not break through his blockade.
There is also the most basic function of the system, which allows him to get all kinds of goods at will, making him extremely rich.
Zhang Shuguang was extremely satisfied. After all, he was just an ordinary person at heart. He didn't have the ambition to dominate the world. That would be too tiring. He just wanted to stay with the people he cared about and live a happy and peaceful life.
When he first met Song Zhaohui, he did have some thoughts about taking the Song family under his control, but that was also to have them go to northern Myanmar to mine jade for him and accumulate more gold coins.
Later, Grandpa Cao wanted to recruit them and let them contribute to national defense. Zhang Shuguang did not hesitate and quickly extinguished his ambition.
Now that he has obtained the gem mine in Ailao Mountain and the system has been upgraded to the final version, Zhang Shuguang has become even more indifferent.
He already has inexhaustible wealth and extraordinary strength to protect himself and his family, so why should he make his life so tiring!
Now he just wanted to finish the mission quickly, bring his father and the soldiers back safely, and then take Yushan back to his hometown, let Yushan see the place where he grew up, and let his grandparents see their future granddaughter-in-law.
At this moment, Zhang Shuguang had even thought of a name for his child.
After enjoying the bright future, Zhang Shuguang was full of energy.
We don’t need large prey, today we will let everyone eat the meat of the giant crocodile.
When Zhang Shuguang returned to the camp, he was carrying a wild goat on his shoulders and hanging more than a dozen pheasants on his body. The soup made with various mushrooms was simply amazing.
The camp was filled with fragrance in the evening. There were pheasant mushroom soup, mutton soup with wild delicacies, and braised crocodile meat. The soldiers and the expert group ate with their mouths drooling.
"If this exploration lasts ten days or half a month, I think I'll get fat."
One of Professor Hong's assistants, after having his fill, leaned against a tree, humming with satisfaction.
"Keep your voice down."
A colleague next to him nudged him with his elbow and secretly pointed in the direction of Professor Zhong.
Professor Zhong was holding a cigarette in his mouth, his brows furrowed, as if he was burdened with an unrelieved sorrow.
In order to find the materials needed by the Lop Nur research team, Professor Zhong led the team to travel across most of Longguo, but still found nothing.
There was a way, but he didn't want to take everyone on an adventure and plunge into the dangerous Ailao Mountains.
They had gone through so many dangers in two days. If Captain Zhang's son had not come in, there might have been casualties.
It is said that risks and opportunities coexist, but the gains of the past two days are completely unworthy of the risks they took.
As the person in charge of this operation, Professor Zhong bore a lot of pressure.
"Old buddy, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Exploring minerals requires opportunity. It's not as easy as my research on plants and animals. Keep a calm mind. Maybe you'll find it tomorrow."
Professor Hong handed the freshly brewed tea to Professor Zhong.
"Old Hong, I understand what you said. During such a difficult period, the country spent so much manpower and material resources to let me lead a team to look for minerals.
Only when a country possesses the most advanced weapons can it have a say in the international arena, and only then can the major powers of other countries sit at the negotiating table and talk to us calmly.
In the entire world, there are only four countries that possess weapons of mass destruction.
The country has invested regardless of the cost, and scientists in related fields have returned one after another to conduct scientific research, risking their lives at any time. Isn't it just to make Longguo the fifth country to possess a powerful weapon?
On this mission, I carry the expectations of the country and the Lop Nur research team. How could I not feel the pressure?
Professor Hong didn't know how to persuade his old friend, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and stay by his side silently.
Pressure is sometimes a form of self-motivation that allows you to always maintain high morale.
The temperature dropped sharply at night, and the expert group all went into the tents. The soldiers kept adding firewood to the campfire.
Everyone covered themselves with quilts and gathered around several bonfires to keep warm.
The soldiers in charge of patrol and guard also put on thick cotton coats.
This is also the precaution that Zhang Shuguang specifically mentioned before departure.
Otherwise, you don’t need to wear thick clothes in Yunnan Province during this season.
In later generations, a professional exploration team died of hypothermia. The place where they fell was only a hundred meters away from the camp.
"It's really weird here. It was scorching hot just now, and now it's suddenly so cold."
"Who says it's not true? They say people in northern Xinjiang wear cotton-padded jackets in the morning and gauze in the afternoon. We have places like that in Yunnan Province, too!"
"This is even more bizarre than the northern border. There, the temperature difference between day and night is just huge, but here, it's constantly changing, hot and cold. It's unpredictable. Last night, it wasn't cold at all."
The soldiers lay on the ground, huddled together for warmth.
In the middle of the night, it suddenly started raining, and the cold raindrops made a crackling sound when they fell on the campfire.
"Quick, find shelter under a tree with large leaves, and make sure your quilt doesn't get wet."
"Let's also light a bonfire under the tree. Everyone, please keep warm and try not to catch a cold."
"Comrades, put on your raincoats. It will be troublesome if your cotton coats get wet."
Company and platoon cadres shouted loudly and organized the soldiers to find a suitable place to shelter from the rain.
"Captain Zhang, please let the comrades go into the tent to avoid the rain. If we stand side by side, there will be enough space for many people."
The raindrops hitting the tent woke up the sleeping expert group. Professor Hong and Professor Zhong rushed out of the tent and shouted to Zhang Xiangnan.
