Steam ships are divided into early wooden iron-packed and all-steel casting. The twelve "steam ships" sent by Kora are the latter. In terms of the size of the hull, they are completely the pinnacle of the steam era before the last century. When Zhang Lisheng met this general in the bunker of the "human gathering place" and was in a very happy mood.
Unfortunately, Kora's expression seemed very heavy
"Welcome back to the civilized world, Mr. Zhang, please sit." In the underground base command room, the highest commander of the Mid-level army stationed in Haixia B1 Island, sat behind a loose office chair, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, pointed to the chair opposite the desk and said.
"Thank you, General," Zhang Lisheng sat opposite Cola with a smile, and said casually: "The dispute on the island has come to an end perfectly. I thought you would be as happy as me, but I didn't expect it to be the opposite."
"Mr. Zhang, you are in a happy mood because you don't know what happened yet," Cora was silent for a while, crossed her hands and placed her fingers on the desk, and looked at Zhang Lisheng with a deep brow. "A week ago, Arkansas, Colorado, left to Asia, Kansas, have discovered new 'worlds' one after another.
The "space gate" leading to the four "different worlds" appeared in the city very coincidentally. Among them, the "gate" in Colorado appeared in the "gate" similar to the medieval earth-distanced cavalry units, which attacked the city of Denver and killed 337 people.
In addition, the United States is not alone. All countries and regions in the world have announced in recent days that they have discovered new "gate of another world". So far, the number has reached 37.
How do you feel now when you hear these news?”
"Oh," Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, chewing on the news that Cora said, and said in a plain voice: "I feel mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, and I am glad that we earthlings have more colonial goals;
What we worry about is that when we encounter strong civilizations, we may become other people's colonies or semi-colonies."
"You really have a very strong nerve, Mr. Zhang
Forget it, let's get back to the point, can you really guarantee that the C1 tribe will never attack the humans on the 'Sharp Island B1'?"
"I can guarantee the general," Zhang Lisheng's face changed and replied seriously: "As the fake 'earth god' in that tribe, I know very well how awe they are now at the planes and missiles of our earthlings. To be honest, those natives have been scared.
Coupled with the constraints of their tribal traditional concepts, they would never attack humans unless all the Tudnans went crazy overnight."
"It's good that Mr. Zhang congratulations. You won yourself a medal of honor. The non-active military personnel who received such honor can be said to be an exception among the exceptions."
"Thank you, General, although I'm not very interested in getting a medal
For me, it is the best reward to be able to study the 'Another World' creatures on the 'Shanghai Shrimp Island b1' safely and steadily'."
"Your heart is not just on the island under our feet, Mr. Zhang..." After hearing the young man's words, Kora suddenly smiled and said in a low voice.
Zhang Lisheng felt a little nervous, and his head turned rapidly and shrugged and said: "A 'Sea Shrimp Island B1' does not satisfy me, Your Excellency General
You are not a biologist and may not understand the difference between the 'island biosphere' and the 'continental biosphere'
On the ocean, because of the distance between sea water, each island forms a unique ‘biosphere’. Sometimes two islands less than a hundred miles apart will have completely different species. The Hawaiian Islands are the best example
The research objects I have now are insignificant for the entire 'Shanghai Shrimp World'..."
"So you are planning to launch satellites on 'Sharp B1 Island', right?"
"You know this," Zhang Lisheng nodded, "Good general. With the full satellite map, I can guide the Tudenan people to other islands and even land to establish settlements, and contact more research materials
I know it's a risky one. Maybe you think I'm weird and incomprehensible, but personally, it's definitely worth it."
"I have served as the commander of a military base in the Middle East and have seen young people in their teenage and twenties from the Arab chief family, playing games of hiding from racing with each other. In comparison, you are considered a very normal young rich man." Kola shook his head and said, "It's a pity that although your idea is good, it will inevitably fail."
"Why, General, why, because you don't allow it?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment and asked strangely.
"Of course not. This is an island that was signed by the president to be exposed to the 'civilian'. The garrison cannot interfere in the launch of satellites," Kola waved his hand.
"Then why my idea cannot be successful, it is the government..."
"Don't guess Mr. Zhang randomly, let me say that. When I discovered the 'Shangxia World 2', although the United States had already put all its efforts into the development of 'Shangxia World 1' and was unable to develop a new 'different world', the government still had the ability to use the secret funds in military expenditure to launch several satellites..."
"You mean there are satellites on our heads now?" Zhang Lisheng asked with his mouth wide open and blurted out.
"No, there are no satellites in the space orbit of 'Shangs 2'," Kora shook her head with a strange expression. "It is speculated that all the satellites launched were shattered by high-quality magnetic meteorite fragments floating in orbit. Most of them exploded with missiles. Only one satellite was barely launched successfully, but unfortunately it was destroyed after only one photo was taken back.
At that time, the continuous launch of satellites always failed. For the sake of research, the military even sacrificed a young female scientist…”
"Is that true?" Zhang Lisheng was silent for a long time and murmured.
"That's the truth," Koramen opened the drawer of her desk expressionlessly, took out a 4k gospel with a high-precision satellite map printed on it, and bounced it in front of Zhang Lisheng, "This is the only photo sent back by the only military survey satellite that was successfully launched.
This is not a high-level confidentiality information. If you want to get it, it should not be a difficult task. All this piece of paper will be given to you, Mr. Zhang.”
The map Kola gave Zhang Lisheng is a 120-degree, colorful fan satellite full map. The only black dot with the name marked on it is ‘Sea Shrimp B1 Island’, but with this mark it is enough to complete the positioning.
This picture is indeed not a very confidential information, but when I first met, the American general who looked like a hawkish soldier suddenly made such an overly good move that made the young man widen his eyes in surprise, "God of General, this satellite picture is indeed very important to me, but you, you..."
"Don't get me wrong with Mr. Zhang, I just want this map to make sense," Kola said in a hoarse voice: "Don't you understand yet, tens of thousands of people died, and now a new 'different world' has appeared. 'Sea shrimp b1 Island' is destined not to return to the past
The most likely fate of the "human gathering place" on this island in the future is to become an observation post for the military. The troops stationed there are at most a mixed brigade, and the remaining residents are you scientists with different minds than others.
The government will retreat most of the troops to New York military bases to guard the portal of the "Shrimp 2 World", so that the military's mobility will be greatly increased...
You won't understand these military considerations. In short, the US government will completely abandon the "Shangs B1 Island". The map I gave you will soon become waste paper and seal it in a file bag. As an ordinary secret, it will be published in twenty years.
And this secret will not arouse anyone's interest after it is revealed. I will give it to you, at least its existence will become a little meaningful."
"That's why?"
“Isn’t this enough?”
Zhang Lisheng shrugged, although he was still suspicious, he didn't say anything more. He carefully folded the 4k paper on the desk and put it in his pocket. He looked up at Kora, and suddenly a light of inspiration flashed in his heart and blurted out and asked, "God General, the scientist who sacrificed his life to launch satellites will not have anything to do with you, right?"
"She's name is Laura Corian"
"Oh, I'm sorry for the general..."
"It's okay, Mr. Zhang, my sister sacrificed for the country, which made me feel very honored.
By the way, on how the garrison troops of the 'Shaixia B1 Island' cooperate with your actions and complete the devastating blow to the hostile natives on the island, I need to write a detailed report to the Ministry of National Defense, and I would like to ask you to help improve it. Is it OK?"
"Of course, general." Zhang Lisheng, who had gained the benefits of Kola and pretended to be guilty, could only nod his head repeatedly. It took nearly two hours to help the highest battlefield commander of the "Sea Shrimp B1 Island" complete his operation report in detail. After that, he could not refuse and flew directly to Washington State by armed helicopter.
Early on the third morning, in a white classical English palace on Northwest Avenue, Pennsylvania, D.C., the young man met the man who was known as the leader of the Western free world for the first time and received his honor.
The ceremony is simple but solemn. In a small auditorium in the White House, accompanied by the music of "Stars and Stripes", Zhang Lisheng and four or five people wearing straight military uniforms and large rectangular colorful ribbons sewn on their chests. They looked like a professional officer with outstanding military achievements hugged the US president together and put on medals by themselves.
As there were four consecutive "Gate of Another World" in the United States, President Rand seemed very tired and busy. Although he said a few more words when shook hands with Zhang Lisheng, he did not take time to meet the young billionaire alone and let him go out of the White House. Obviously, as Kora speculated, "Shrimp No. 2 World" is no longer important to the United States now.
