Chapter 1619: The World Is Crazy

“Mars Harbor, where the galaxy dream begins… what is it? What the hell is this city hall doing? ”

Gong Tianwen, sitting at his desk, whispered a whisper, his index finger crossed the holographic screen in front of him, sweeping the latest issue of the Tenguo Journal into the bin, but the contents of the newspaper kept him out of his mind for a long time.

Where star dreams begin...

I have to say, for a native-born Martian, that's a pretty impressive line.

The report kicked in that the city hall had launched a new development plan for the port of Mars in view of the breakthrough in hypervelocity technology and the completion of the first phase of the space elevator project, the expanding demand for shipping on Mars and the inadequacy of old space facilities to meet people's needs.

The plan was announced by the new mayor, Xiao Hong, that the city hall authorities would spend 100 billion credit points to build a larger space port in the orbit around Mars.

The port will no longer serve merely as a shipping transit station, but will also serve as an orbital dwelling for the integrated production life.

As a Martian who loves his hometown, no one is more eager than he is to become more prosperous here.

Even if most would say so, the environment on Mars is a little harsh compared to the beauty of the Earth, but it's outside the dome of Tiangong City.

For the world within the dome, this is a paradise that the vast majority of the Earth's people who have never been to space would never have imagined.

Unlike the forgotten Chilly City of Guangdong for half a century, because of the transfer of light and heavy industries and mining industries, the colonies on Mars have been developed by generations of colonizers, long overdue to the same day as the original scientific research station of more than a dozen people.

Because of the need for real survival, the people living here are constantly improving their colonial amenities in order to expand the space for survival, so much so that every brick and tile here brings together the fruits of technology. It is no exaggeration to say that even if a tile is pulled from the ground, it brings together the highest wisdom of all human civilization.

Gong is a native Martian, and although he heard of vast forests and oceans, and countless ancient wonders, he didn't want to be there.

As a descendant of the first colonizers and a "citizen of the Heavenly Palace”, he has always been extremely proud of his identity.

They're descendants of the explorers.

And his company, the Spaceship Parts Manufacturing Plant, which produces spare parts for explorers.

In addition to his pride as a Martian, the Port of Mars portrayed in the article showed him a vast business opportunity.

The only thing that bothered him was that Mr. Mayor's style of speaking and doing things didn't seem very reliable.

Can this Port of Mars really be built during his tenure?

There is some doubt in Gong Tianwen's mind.

As usual, after watching the morning news, he opened the holographic intelligent office system on his desk and started working today with the assistance of Business AI.

Just as he was about to sign a document, his AI assistant drifted out of his desk.

“Boss, there is a visitor outside who would like to visit you. ”

Visitors?

Who's gonna be this early in the morning?

With that in mind, Gong Tianwen said casually.

“Let him in. ”

Holographic images floating around the desk disappeared and the office door opened quickly.

Soon, a man in a suit of leather walked in from the outside with a steady step.

“Hello, Dear Chairman Gong, I am the manager of the South Gate II Colonial Exploration Foundation and this is my business card. ”

South Gate II Colonial Exploration Foundation?

The moment I heard the name, Gong Tianwen couldn't help but frown, his first impression of the person in front of me was a little jet-lagged.

The reason is simple.

In his view, these funds, which target extrasolar galaxies, are simply a massive Ponzi scam that tricks credit points out of the hands of ordinary people through a beautiful land voucher card and a beautiful and impractical lie and empty check.

Of course, that's not the most hateful part.

These deluded liars are usually stingy white wolves accustomed to bare gloves. They love to brag when talking about business, and when they have to sign a contract, they take care of him.

Gong Tianwen has met a number of people who run similar fund companies, hoping to “strategically cooperate” with his factory by exchanging equity or “scrap paper”, even throwing out bait to help him get listed on the planet.

Yet he never snorted at these ridiculous proposals.

Want to buy his factory or the parts he makes, but take out the visible real gold and silver. As for the rest, he didn't want to say anything superfluous except a roll call.

“Mr. Gladstone? ”

After a glance at the business card holographic card, Gong Tianwen dragged it into the address book and cast a gaze at the man in front of him, "Welcome to our company… I heard from my secretary that you have business plans to talk to me? Can you tell me exactly what the business is? ”

By the time he said that, he had unconsciously drifted his gaze towards the clock in the corner of his field of view.

He's got an idea, and the moment this guy shows the same intentions as the crooks, it takes the shortest possible time to get him out of his office.

However, the first sentence that Mr. Gladstone said was unexpected by Gong.

“I want to build a boat. ”

“Shipbuilding?” Staring at the man in front of him in the suit, Gong Tianwen slightly frowned and continued, “Are you in the wrong place? We don't produce starships, we only produce...”

“Starship accessories, right?” I took a black card out of my arms, and the man in the leather suit handed it to Gong Tianwen gently, "Usually we would contact the shipyard directly, but our needs are quite special... can you see how this thing can be built? ”

“Let me see. ”

After accepting that pitch-black memory card, Gong's face revealed a serious divine color, stretching out his fingers and dotting them down.

Soon, the light blue hologram projected in front of him.

As soon as he saw the parameters on the drawing, his eyebrows suddenly twitched and he couldn't help but say in the mouth of a spit.

“Five kilometers long... are you going to build a skyship? ”

Although he is not a professional engineer, he has worked in this business for many years. Even if he doesn't cook and cook, he has seen what pork looks like.

He had also heard for the first time which civilian starship needed such a long dragonbone.

Gladstone smiled and continued with a very gentle voice.

“All you have to do is answer if you can make it. If you can, I'll place an order now. If not, I'll go somewhere else. ”

Upon hearing this, Gong Tianwen slightly raised his chin and displayed a proud expression on his face.

“As long as there are drawings and materials, there's nothing we can't make! But this stuff is a little big, warehousing costs and labor costs are not cheap, and if you defaulted we could only sell it as scrap iron... so the deposit could be more expensive and you might have to pay 50% of the total price. ”

“No problem.”

Surprised by Gong Tianwen, the foreigner with the eagle hook nose didn't even mean to bargain, but he promised so happily.

“Where's the contract? I can pay the deposit now as long as you make sure the order is completed within the specified time frame. ”

Looking at him, Gong Astronomical swallowed his mouth and stretched out his trembling index finger and gently lowered it on the desk.

“The contract is just around the corner… you, please wait. ”

After accepting the electronic contract, the gringo just took a quick look and signed his name, paying a deposit of 5 billion credit points.

It's like it's not a ten-billion-dollar business, but a downstairs supermarket for a pack of cigarettes.

Looking at this order worth billions of credit points, Gong Tianwen felt his hands tremble a little and his whole body was full of unreal feelings.

It was not until he pinched himself and confirmed that it was not after the dream that he returned to God from his stubborn expression.

“Are you crazy...”

He watched as he closed the door to his office, swallowed his mouth and held on to his beating heart for a while.

That's how you get your $10 billion order...

The world is crazy, too.
