Chapter 8: Reunion After 600 Years (Extra Chapter for Leader Mao Ritian!)
However.
Lin Xian did not have extra time to think——
Whoosh!
A red laser as thick as a tree appeared in the night sky! It accurately hit A Zhuang flying in front!
Before he could blink... A Zhuang so big, so many complicated equipment and space suits disappeared directly from his sight.
Only a few charred carbon blocks were left, emitting unsolidified red light...
Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah!
Those tiny carbon particles hit Lin Xian's space suit like reverse hail, crackling.
Lin Xian knew.
These were the residues left by A Zhuang being hit by the ultra-high temperature laser and instantly evaporated.
And these residues hit him like rain.
It also meant...
He and A Zhuang had reached the same altitude!
Whoosh!
The moment Lin Xian realized this, his eyes turned red. He felt like he was bathing in the fiery red sun and was evaporated in an instant!
He didn't even have time to feel the pain.
…
…
"Huh…"
Lin Xian opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief on the bed in the bedroom.
He turned his head to look at the clock on the bedside table. It was only early morning, far less than 00:42.
In other words, his final death was caused by being shot by an anti-aircraft laser.
"This is too difficult, it's impossible."
After actually parachuting once, Lin Xian realized that he had thought this matter too simply before.
The main reason is that…
The height of the gap in the defense network is 10,000 meters, while the height of Rhine Sky City should be about two or three thousand meters.
With a field of view difference of 7,000 meters, Lin Xian could not find any reference for his landing location.
When his falling height reached 10,000 meters, he had to stare with his eyes to see the palm-sized square 7,000 meters below.
At this height, he couldn't aim accurately at all!
He didn't know whether he had deviated from the position of the square at all. Even if the general direction was correct, he might have deviated a lot.
It's like giving you a gun but no scope, and asking you to shoot at a palm-sized target 7,000 meters away.
Even if you think you have aimed, you are only aiming in the general direction, and the probability of hitting the target is very small.
Lin Xian sat up from the bed, came to the desk, and went through the parachute plan of Big Face Cat and A Zhuang in detail.
First of all, the parachute jump height is 20,000 meters.
Then, you need to drop 10,000 meters and glide horizontally for about 2,000 meters to reach a gap directly above the square.
After that, assuming you have the good luck of winning the lottery, you happen to hit the gap and successfully break through the control network. You also need to parachute and land at an altitude of about 5,000 meters and about 2,000 meters from the ground of Rhine Sky City.
Finally, if everything goes well and the drug for treating radiation sickness is successfully found, you have to find a safe time to jump from the edge of Sky City and use the second parachute in your backpack to complete the landing and return.
This is no longer a plan of life and death...
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a plan of life and death.
No wonder the Sky City is too small.
What is even more despairing is that.
Because the specific location of death cannot be conveyed to the living, the sacrifice of these people is basically in vain, and the elimination method cannot be used at all. It is very likely that many people will die in the same place where people died before.
"So, what is the purpose of the gap deliberately left in the air defense area?"
After summarizing, Lin Xian is more convinced of his previous conclusion-
That gap
is definitely a backdoor left for himself deliberately! 】
"Because..."
"Only I can accumulate death experience countless times and finally successfully find the location of the gap; this is a trial and error ability that only I have. Even if I am killed by laser, I can remember the place of death and avoid it in the next cycle."
Lin Xian's thinking is getting clearer and clearer.
A gap that is invisible, intangible, and difficult to find is a puzzle that only I can solve. It is really targeted.
So.
Who left this gap for me?
Is it an enemy?
Is it a friend?
Or the future Lin Xian?
"It's getting more and more interesting."
Lin Xian chuckled.
No matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, this is an infinitely looping dream world. What is there for him to be afraid of?
He can't wait to go in and find out the truth about this gap.
...
The next day, Lin Xian fell asleep early.
Because the goal is clear, there is no need to run around. Go directly to the place where the crowd and lights gather to find the big-faced cat.
Although it is the first time for the big-faced cat to see Lin Xian in this world, he still happily accepts Lin Xian's voluntary "death" and agrees that Lin Xian can skydive with him.
After all, this is a road of no return with a life-or-death situation. No one really stopped Lin Xian and thought he was taking advantage. On the contrary, many people still respect him very much, thank him for his bravery and dedication...
The process of skydiving on the second day is no different from the first day, except that the partner changed from A Zhuang to the big-faced cat.
The two still took a helium balloon to an altitude of 20,000 meters, then jumped down and flew towards the central square of Rhine Sky City. In the end... they were burned into carbon powder by the anti-aircraft laser and evaporated directly.
Lin Xian has a good mentality.
He had never intended to find the gap in the air defense network in one or two attempts.
It was fine to try and make mistakes bit by bit.
The more times you fail, the more mistakes you eliminate, and the fewer possibilities there are, so the probability of success will be greater and greater, and the probability of failure will be less and less.
Therefore.
The more failures, the fewer failures.
The third day...
The fourth day...
The fifth day...
Lin Xian repeated the same plot every night, trying and making mistakes.
If he fell asleep early, he would skydive with Big Face Cat.
If he fell asleep late, he would skydive with A Zhuang.
Because of the limited time, he did not develop any deep friendship with Big Face Cat this time; in the eyes of Big Face Cat and others, he was just a simple enthusiastic crowd, or a foolish and fearless fool.
But it didn't matter.
As long as Lin Xian participated in skydiving, he had no other requirements.
Although every night's skydiving ended in failure and turned into charcoal.
But Lin Xian inexplicably found that his skydiving skills were getting better and better.
Not only did he become more and more skilled at paragliding, he also learned to do somersaults in the air, and his control of direction became more and more smooth, and he could even perform some difficult stunts.
Once, because he was curious about what it was like at an altitude of more than 30,000 meters, he did not jump after the big-faced cat jumped, but continued to climb while deflating the helium balloon.
Facts have proved that...
What those high-altitude extreme athletes said was right.
When you reach an altitude of 35,000 meters, you can really see the dark space when you look up!
In the distance, you can already see the slightly curved outline of the earth.
This is the farthest distance from the earth that Lin Xian has been since he was born.
35,000 meters.
You can already see such a beautiful and wonderful scenery.
Above your head, it is the dark space.
Under your feet, it is the brightly lit earth.
"It's so beautiful."
Lin Xian couldn't help but imagine that if one day, you can stand in real outer space, that is, 100 kilometers away, and look back at the earth... what kind of scenery would that be?
For some unknown reason, this helium balloon could not rise at 35,000 meters.
It is estimated that the buoyancy provided by the thin air is not enough to pull up the heavy cargo.
Then.
Lin Xian jumped down from 35,000 meters and continued to perform the mission.
To be honest...
From the feeling, there is no substantial difference from skydiving at 20,000 meters. Anyway, it is a free fall, but the fall time is longer.
To put it bluntly, skydiving in the free fall stage itself is not difficult. Anyone can learn it, even if they don’t learn it.
The real difficulty lies in the safety of the parachute opening and the landing environment.
And these things are not what Lin Xian needs to consider now. He doesn’t need to worry about them at all, because...
The control laser will solve all his concerns for him.
Whoosh!
……
……
This morning, many reporters gathered in front of the Rhine Company’s building.
Today.
It is the first day of the opening of the Rhine Company, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony is being held.
With the busy work of Zhao Yingjun and Brother Wang, everything is progressing quickly. Therefore, in such a short time, Rhine Company has completed the preliminary deployment and can officially open.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the company's gate.
The reason why so many reporters came was not because Lin Xian's company was so powerful, but... Chu Shanhe, the president of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, actually came to the ribbon-cutting site in person to show his support!
This is simply unimaginable in the Donghai business community.
All reporters are speculating about what the relationship between Lin Xian and Chu Shanhe is in private? How can Chu Shanhe give him such a face?
Even if the Donghai City government will soon hold a commendation meeting for Lin Xian, what does that have to do with the business community?
However, what is even more shocking is...
Chu Shanhe is not just here to show his support, he seems to have a very good relationship with Lin Xian.
The two talked and laughed, calling each other brothers, which really made the reporters suspect that Lin Xian's relationship behind him was unusual.
When the official ribbon was cut.
Zhao Yingjun stood on the right side of Lin Xian holding a red ribbon, Chu Shanhe stood on the left side of Lin Xian holding a red ribbon, and Lin Xian stood in the middle holding a pair of scissors.
Following the call from Brother Wang, who had been promoted to the vice president of Rhine Company, Lin Xian smiled and raised his scissors to cut the red ribbon -
Click.
The fireworks next to him rang, colored paper flew, and warm applause rang out all around.
Starting today.
Rhine Company officially opened for business!
"Hello, Mr. Lin, may I ask... what direction does Rhine Company plan to develop in the future?"
The reporters gathered together handed the microphone to Lin Xian.
Lin Xian took the microphone and answered:
"At present, Rhine Company's business is still relatively simple, mainly focusing on the operation authorization of the Rhine Cat IP image and the related business of Rhine cosmetics. In general, Rhine Company is still in a state of deep cooperation with MX Company."
"Regarding the future development direction of the company..."
Lin Xian paused.
In his mind, he thought of the sky city pushed by thousands of controlled nuclear fusion engines;
He thought of the feces, garbage, and sewage falling from the sky;
He thought of the filthy land with no grass growing;
Thinking of the unhealing black abscesses on the bodies of the old, young, sick and disabled in the village;
Thinking of the big-faced cat and Zhuang who were hit by lasers countless times and died in the air and turned into charcoal...
Lin Xian
He put away his smile and his expression became serious and serious.
Facing reporters and all employees, he solemnly said:
"Actually... I personally don't have high expectations for RWE. I have never thought about building it into a world-class company, a giant with assets worth trillions, or a unicorn in a certain industry. enterprise."
"Although the first priority of running a company is to make money, I always believe that some necessary principles are more important than making money. As my former boss, President Zhao Yingjun, said... To make money, you must make conscience money; in running a business , do something conscientious.”
"I am able to start Rheinland today because I have learned a lot of knowledge that has benefited me greatly from Mr. Zhao. But speaking of it, I think the most precious harvest...I think it is the above sentence."
"Therefore, I hope that no matter how far in the future or how many years pass, when everyone sees or mentions RWE...whether it still exists or not, everyone will give a thumbs up and say that it is a conscience. A company that is responsible, a company that does good things.”
"Well, now let me answer the reporter's question just now."
Lin Xian looked around.
Silence fell.
Everyone was shocked by his sudden impromptu speech...
actually.
Brother Wang has already explained it.
These media reporters and the company's public relations department have all given out red envelopes for the purpose of publicity and momentum for the company.
Including the questions asked by reporters, they were all discussed with the public relations department in advance. Even the press release had been written last night. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed today, I went back and clicked to publish.
In addition, in the face of the answers to these reporters' questions, Brother Wang has already written a speech for Lin Xian. At that time, he only needs to follow the above
Just talk about it. Even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter, because all reporters have this speech copy, and they will write beautiful reports.
Lin Xian is not just a three-year-old child. He has experienced too many such things in this year's work.
Don't talk about others, didn't you also give red envelopes to those reporters during the Rheinland new product launch conference?
This is normal business behavior and is understandable. Lin Xian also thinks it is reasonable.
but……
just now.
He thought of the tragic situation and dead lives in the Rhine Sky City in the third dream...
He really couldn't say the high-sounding remarks in his written speech.
He couldn't tell.
Even if those are just polite words for fun,
Even the CEO of every company will say this,
Even if no one cares about this nonsense at all, and even if everyone sees this kind of long and praising news, they will most likely pass by without even reading it...
But.
Lin Xian, who had witnessed the horror of the third dream, really couldn't ignore it all with peace of mind.
He was not sure whether the Rheinland Sky City was built by him or whether it was developed by the current Rheinland Company.
But what he can do, and only he can do, is to prevent such a future from happening!
"I personally have not yet determined the specific future development direction of RWE."
Lin Xian solemnly said:
"But... I sincerely hope that no matter how large Rheinland becomes in the future, no matter what field it operates in, Rheinland can always implement one concept. This is also the meaning of Rheinland——"
"For a better future for mankind!]"
…
For a moment, the whole place was silent.
But then!
Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap! ! !
Unprecedented warm applause broke out!
This heartfelt speech really resonated with everyone present and infected everyone's emotions.
For a better future for mankind...
Today’s entrepreneurs no longer know how to
I'm even ashamed to tell such a "fake and empty" joke.
At this moment, Lin Xian said these words.
No one thought he was deliberately showing off.
Everyone knows what the original speech was, and everyone knows that this is just a commercial performance that has a script.
But Lin Xian took it so seriously and spoke his truth.
It’s not easy.
Many people at the scene were old employees of MX Company. They knew Lin Xian very well and knew that he was such a pure person.
This is also the main reason why they are willing to transfer from the flourishing MX Company to Rheinland Company——
Lin Xian has a unique personal charm.
…
"Well said, Lin Xian."
After the applause ended, the audience dispersed. Chu Shanhe came over with a smile and shook hands with Lin Xian to say goodbye:
"I hope to see the moment when you successfully realize your dream soon."
"Thank you, Mr. Chu, for coming here despite your busy schedule."
"Hi! Why are you so polite!"
Chu Shanhe waved his hand indifferently:
"I'm leaving now. If I have anything to do in the future, I'll keep in touch and come to my house to sit down."
Say it.
Chu Shanhe got on the Maybach and left.
The reporters and employees also left, and Zhao Yingjun also ended her interview and walked towards Lin Xian on clicking high heels.
"I'm so happy for you, Lin Xian."
She smiled and said:
"Now I believe that you have really found what you want to do for the rest of your life. In other words... this time, you are not succeeding for the sake of success, or going extraordinary for the sake of extraordinary, you have found yourself Something I really want to do.”
Lin Xian also smiled and nodded:
"I learned this all from you. Thank you very much for your help all the time."
"Then... shake hands."
Zhao Yingjun chuckled, raised his delicate right hand and hung it between the two of them:
"I am honored to be a witness to your success."
Lin Xian also reached out and held Zhao Yingjun's warm little hand:
"I'm honored to have you witness all this."
…
…
…
Whoosh!
A red laser flashed to the right.
Lin Xian turned his head, and the big-faced cat that was walking with him was once again evaporated by the laser and burned to char.
How many times has this happened?
Lin Xian couldn't remember clearly. He was used to the feeling of carbon particles crackling on his spacesuit.
"It's my turn soon, right?"
Lin Xian didn't care and turned around in the air, preparing for the coming laser.
However--
"Um?"
Lin Xian opened his eyes in disbelief.
The speed of his fall is still gradually accelerating!
but!
but!
The laser did not appear!
On the contrary, below the field of vision... the central square of Rhine Sky City is getting closer and closer! Getting closer! You can already see the details below clearly!
"Damn it! I found a gap!]"
Lin Xian couldn't help but turn around and look upward...
Although nothing can be seen.
But he is sure!
This time, he really got through the gap in the air defense net by mistake!
Hoo ho ho ho!
Hoo ho ho ho!
The falling speed was so fast that it almost reached the terminal speed of free fall.
Lin Xian focused all his attention on the square below!
He began to visually measure the distance...
5000 meters.
4000 meters.
3000 meters.
2000 meters!
As I actively adjusted my posture, my falling speed began to slow down...
When the altitude reached about 1,300 meters, Lin Xian instantly stood up and opened the parachute!
Bang————
The umbrella bag behind him opened and flew into a black flower in the air!
The reason why it is black is to hide it in the night sky and not be noticed.
Lin Xian stared at the square below...
It's already close at hand.
He noticed that there was a huge human statue erected directly below where he was falling!
I see……
The gap in the air defense net is right above the human statue.
Lin Xian couldn't help but be curious.
Since this is Rhine Sky City...
So is it possible that the giant statue in the middle of the square is myself, the founder of Rheinland Company?
Thinking again about the location of the gap in the air defense net, it is just above the statue...
This is reasonable!
Boom.
With a muffled sound, Lin Xian successfully landed on the ground.
He couldn't wait to untie the parachute straps behind him, and then rushed to the statue
It was a white jade statue.
He's very tall, so it's hard to tell what his facial features look like for a while.
but……
This is not me.
Because, from the long hair on the back and the plump figure, it is not difficult to see that this statue is carved of an adult.
Who is the one?
Lin Xian was a little curious and looked down at the words engraved on the base of the square stone tablet at the bottom of the statue:
To commemorate, the builder of Rhine Sky City——Zhao Yingjun】
