USA-Australia.
This route.
Few ships.
It nearly crosses the central Pacific, the water quality is quite good. Unfortunately, it’s only occasionally worth a look; for such long ocean voyages, there’s only monotony and boredom along the way, the scenery is repetitive, and it’s tireso after seeing it too often.
"Hmm?"
Looking to the right.
In the distance.
Several dots appeared on the horizon, moving parallel, suddenly starting to veer toward the cargo ship.
Soon.
Getting bigger and bigger.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
With a loud noise, three black shadows swept past the front of the cargo ship. Were these guys here just to show off? Checking it out, they turned out to be training aircraft from a nearby Arican base, practicing low-altitude cruising.
"Tch!"
Tang Qing smirked.
I fly faster than these scraps of tal, did I show off?
"They’re coming back."
A few minutes later.
Three training aircraft returned again, they really have nothing better to do. Fine, since they want to show off, let them put on a good show, "On their way back, let them demonstrate ocean rescue, without harming anyone."
"Yes, commander."
Little Two’s voice ca through.
In an instant.
The plan was uploaded to the task list, high priority. There’s no need for Tang Qing to worry about its execution. Initially wanting to quietly watch the sea, now he lost interest and with a flick of his body, he returned to the cave.
Watching the fighters dig the mine.
...
Half an hour later.
Pacific Ocean.
Two figures floated with the waves on the sea. At this mont, the two Aricans looked bewildered, just fine on their way back, teasing a cargo ship along the way, had God taken offense?
The training aircraft lost control.
Without much thought.
This was low-altitude cruising, failing to escape in ti could lead to a crash into the sea, leaving them shattered. The two decisively abandoned the aircraft, which sank deep into the ocean. In the central Pacific, retrieval was impossible.
What to do?
Just wait, probably until nightfall.
Speaking of.
Could there be sharks?
"The rescue ship has already set off, expected to arrive in twelve hours." Fortunately, they hadn’t lost contact yet. If you add the helicopter on the rescue ship, it should reduce the ti to about ten hours.
On the sea.
Looking around, there was nothing but water.
"What exactly happened?"
"You ask , who should I ask?"
"The black box is probably unretrievable. It must be equipnt aging. I think, taking this opportunity, we could demand a new batch of training aircraft, as the previous ones should be scrapped and retired."
"We must bla it on the malfunction, not on our operational error."
"Yeah, yeah."
Just like that.
The two agreed on the narrative. Although there was no black box, communication was normal at the ti, the base could know their conversation, no matter how they analyze it, it’s a device malfunction, and it definitely is a device malfunction.
Anyway.
They didn’t feel they operated incorrectly.
...
Shanghai Stock Market.
The study.
Tang Qing suddenly appeared, placing the glass bottle on a shelf. The gold mine in Equatorial Guinea was still being drilled, and it’s believed that results will be available in a week, given that several kiloters can be drilled in a week.
If it’s still not at the bottom.
Then... it’s huge.
By that ti.
There’d be no need to keep drilling, just start digging. So, anyway, in a week, the mining operations there will begin. In the training area, the fighters were hastily producing protective covers.
Ten minutes later.
They ca back from shopping.
"Tangtang, we got this for you."
Lin Jiaxue handed over a delicate box.
"What is it?"
Tang Qing smiled.
Received it.
Opened it.
A scarf!
Zeng Rou quickly said, "We fancied a pair of sunglasses, but Jiaxue said you surely wouldn’t like it, so we didn’t buy it, and there was a watch too. Speaking of which, why do you like electronic watches so much? "
Hearing this.
Lin Jiaxue’s lips curled.
Glasses.
Tang Qing’s glasses were no ordinary items; they could watch TV, they could go online, and these were just the functionalities she knew, as for the watch, it was said to be equipped with a signal transmitter to asure body temperature and heartbeat.
In summary.
Tang Qing never wore these two items bought outside, even though they spent day and night together, Lin Jiaxue always felt she couldn’t understand this man, but it was enough to have Tang Qing by her side.
Other things.
Did not matter.
"Just a habit," Tang Qing replied with a faint smile.
His answer.
Was what Lin Jiaxue wanted to hear.
Habit.
Habit of an object.
Habit of a person.
Unwilling to change.
....
On the twentieth.
In the morning.
"What?"
Inapitou, Kan Qin finished reading the invitation, puzzlent filled his mind. They weren’t G20 mbers; what was the aning of this invitation? Of course, he felt very pleased, but just puzzled as to why.
G20.
The Group of Twenty.
Is an international economic cooperation forum.
It used to be G8.
Western countries played among themselves, but later realized excluding erging market countries didn’t fit the tis. This led to G20, whose twenty nations’ GDPs make up ninety percent of the global economy.
Highly representative.
Occurs once a year.
However.
Previously, the G20 was a finance ministers’ eting.
This year.
Due to a global financial crisis initiated by the United States, the financial system has beco a global focus, beginning with a G20 summit. This ans Ling would personally attend the eting in Washington.
It can be said.
This was a form of recognition.
Acknowledging Mien’s position in the world economic power, yet this invitation only invited Ling, not representing that Mien had joined the G20, otherwise, G20 might beco G21.
Two-day ti fra.
On the fourteenth and fifteenth of next month, three weeks left.
So sudden.
Kan Qin estimated that even Ling wasn’t prepared.
Looking up.
Kan Qin looked at Ling.
"Need to prepare anything?"
"No need."
"Be careful."
"Hmm."
Kan Qin’s worry wasn’t baseless; the consortiums’ pursuit of the transcription fluid had not stopped since its appearance, using all ans possible. Although it seed calm outside, things remained turbulent underneath.
This ti.
Going to their holand, caution was necessary.
...
"Sizzle!! Crack!"
On the twenty-fifth.
Equatorial Guinea.
The cave.
A large drilling machine nearly twenty ters in diater continuously drills downward, razor-sharp alloy blades scrapping off layers of ore. This is different from explosive mining; underground concealed extraction could only use this thod.
The cost is not high.
The only cost is the equipnt.
The blades wear out quickly.
Every two hours it’s replaced, but with surplus teleportation nodes, there’s no need to halt work for long, just teleporting the old drill bit back to the training area and sending the new drill bit over.
A break of less than a minute.
Repetition.
Each complete rotation.
Based on the gold content here, it can refine more than a hundred grams of gold, worth nearly twenty thousand. And such drilling equipnt, there are ten whole units in the entire underground space, about ten ters apart.
On one piece of equipnt.
Tang Qing watched the screen.
Complicated data constantly flashed by.
Each entry.
He recognized.
Tang Qing was also a designer of so parts of this equipnt. Although he only designed part of it, he knew all the components and technology of the entire equipnt, not to ntion analyzing data.
Currently.
He was also a scientist. Regarding knowledge, giving him an engineering PhD was well-deserved. Unfortunately, many of the things he designed couldn’t be revealed, at least not now.
