Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2325: Partners in the Door
"Around her neck is our super converter, shut down all the servers, quick!"

It was not until this time that several people in the base saw clearly what was around Lin Shuzhen's neck and immediately ordered someone to shut down the server, but it was too late.

Through the base's network, Lin Shuzhen obtained administrator privileges.

The engineers in the base tried their best but couldn't shut down the program. They had no choice but to smash the control terminal, tear off one of the boards, and cut off a circuit with a carving knife.

"Take your hands off of it!"

Just as the other party was about to restart the equipment, the black muzzle of a gun was pressed against his forehead. The engineer could only stand up slowly and put down the carving knife in his hand. Lin Shuzhen asked someone to weld and cut off the power, then took the board and inserted it into the host.

"Copy all the data. Two minutes left. Hurry!"

As the host screen gradually lit up, Lin Shuzhen's eyes began to turn red and her muscles began to tremble.

"You won't last long. Let me perform surgery on you now so you can gain eternal life. There's no need to do such a crazy thing for something that doesn't belong to you. I have a way to restore you to your previous state. We can even work together..."

The man swallowed his saliva as he watched the data of his base being stolen, especially when he saw that blood began to seep from Lin Shuzhen's back and the muscles in her neck began to spasm.

Lin Shuzhen slowly turned her head and stared at the man.

"You don't need to understand, and you can't understand! In your hands, these things are just tools for you to make profits. In our hands, they are tools for liberating all mankind. You are all selfish people..."

Accompanied by a sound similar to that of a chainsaw, Lin Shuzhen's arm began to tremble irregularly, and the man's hand reached out to the server.

"boom!"

"Insanity!"

A bullet passed through the man's forehead and hit the fire alarm button on the wall squarely. Lin Shuzhen's copy also reached 95%.

"Self-destruction program activated, all doors closed, five four three two one..."

The word "SELF-DESTROY" appeared on the big screen, and Lin Shuzhen began to tremble all over. Several other people looked at the copy anxiously.

"Go, never go back, your mission is completed, hurry up..."

Lin Shuzhen's knees began to bend and blood started to seep from her body. She used her last bit of strength to speak loudly to her former colleagues. There was no sign of retreat on their faces and they continued to stare at the copy.

Ninety-six percent...

"boom!"

Accompanied by a huge explosion, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the entire mountaintop, and then the mountain began to collapse towards the middle. Lin Shuzhen, or perhaps this was his name, and all his colleagues, along with all the secrets, entered the cycle of history.

Wang Zhiqiang stayed in Yakou Village for half a month. After completing various formalities, he followed Ji Donglai's people to Kazakhstan for astronaut training. Two of Wang Zhiqiang's former colleagues also went with them. According to Ji Donglai's plan, Wang Zhiqiang would go to space alone in the first batch, and after the second batch, the two of them would take turns going to the space factory.

We accept at least fifteen scientific and technological experiments every year, and the global recruitment plan starts. Countries and units that have cooperated with Yiyuan Zhizao are given priority.

"Boss Ji, an old friend is here and wants to see you!"

Ji Donglai was watching the construction process of the space factory intently. Ran Bo came in with a phone call. Ji Donglai felt a little strange because few people had looked for Ji Donglai recently.

Especially in the Central Asian bases, few people can get close.

"Who?"

Without rushing to answer the phone, Ji Donglai walked out of the control room.

"My old friend Ali! I asked him carefully and found out that he came here on behalf of our neighbor in the southern Himalayas. They are very interested in our satellite plan."

Ran Bo whispered to Ji Donglai and summarized what Ali meant on behalf of that group of people. It was actually very simple. Ji Donglai had been working on a plan to transform abandoned satellites. The satellites in the air could form a team of more than three satellites. Only a few countries in the world could develop this technology.

It is also capable of satellite integration, capture, and separation, which is a more difficult technology.

Recently, Ji Donglai has done this for more than twenty times in a row and finally impressed his neighbors in the south.

The Elephant has always had a firm dream of becoming a space power. It has been collaborating with the Bald Eagle for many years, but the results are very unsatisfactory because the other party's technology is not up to standard. In recent years, the other party even bought the corresponding technology from Musk, but it is not mature, and the first satellite launched even only received a failure!
"Let's meet!"

Thinking of Ali, the big broker, Ji Donglai secretly thought that he was courting death. That year in the Middle East, the other party was almost killed, but six bullets were dug out and the other party survived. Ji Donglai thought that the other party would be quiet after that, but the other party still did his own thing.

In the entire South Asian Arab and African lane, modern Indians who followed the colonial master are much more mature than the Chinese. Now Indians are everywhere in Africa, and they are all wealthy people.

In addition, the other party’s living habits are very similar to those of the locals, so they are rarely rejected.

Ji Donglai and Ali met in a small hotel inside the base. Compared with the last time, Ali had lost a lot of weight and half of his mouth was covered with gold teeth.

"Hello my friend Ji, you are young again!"

Ali opened his arms to Ji Donglai, and Shen Hao hugged him despite the strong smell of perfume on him, and then they sat down in an L-shape.

"Ji, we are old friends. I will tell you some things directly. We know that you have developed a very good satellite project. I heard that you are looking for a partner. I have a partner to introduce to you. You will definitely like him. He is a big sponsor and very rich..."

As a Canadian, Ali had the manners of a British gentleman in his eyes. Compared with the last time they met, Ali hardly raised his right arm, but raised his left hand, and his assistant hurriedly handed him a cigarette.

Ji Donglai keenly noticed that the other party's assistant had a very good temperament. The way he looked at himself and the people around him was not like a servant at all, but more like a master. Looking at the other party's appearance, Ji Donglai had a bold guess.

According to Ali, India's aerospace department is preparing to introduce a super satellite plan from Ji Donglai. The other party has seen through Ji Donglai's entire plan. From satellite to spacecraft, this plan is too perfect.

"Ji, you are a dreamer and a doer. You launched a satellite, built your own maintenance factory in the air, recovered the rocket, and now you have built an unprecedented space maintenance factory. The next step is to build your own space station. This plan is perfect."

"We now want to introduce your first plan, the conjoined satellite plan. If you are able to sell it, we are willing to give you a suitable price!"

Facing Ji Donglai, Ali handed over a contract. Ji Donglai's assistant Xiaohong took it in his hand and carefully checked the amount and terms in it. The other party began to report in a low voice in Ji Donglai's ear.

The other party hopes to obtain the detailed drawings and construction technology of the satellite, and wants to make the core control program by themselves. They also hope to use Ji Donglai's carrier rocket for the launch, and use Ji Donglai's base in Central Asia as the control center.

However, the other party must participate in the entire construction process, that is, talent training, and the price offered by the other party is very attractive: 3000 million US dollars.

"Ali, you can just reply now, it's impossible!"

Ji Donglai signaled to his assistant to return the document to Ali, and then smiled at him.

"Ji, this plan is very reasonable. You know this technology is not unique to you. We can now buy it from many countries in the world. You know we come here with sincerity..."

It was still the same roundabout way. Ji Donglai was disgusted by the way these people spoke.

In the past, the media always said that cultures other than China are very direct and that it’s all bullshit. Everyone who talks about business always goes around in circles and talks a lot of bullshit. Ji Donglai waved his hand and Ran Bo served tea to the two of them.

"Ali, you are negotiating cooperation with a non-governmental organization, a non-governmental operating company, not those so-called organizations from many countries that you mentioned. Each of them has a national background, so who would care about you? We are old friends, and I don't want to tell lies."

"The only way to express your sincerity in cooperating with us is with price. If it doesn't meet our psychological expectations, we won't talk. If you talk to others, it's not just about price, but also attitude and political considerations. So, don't insult my engineering team. The price you offer is too insulting. I don't think your boss will agree to it. Even if I sell it to you at this price, you won't dare to use it!"

Ji Donglai pointed at the other party's assistant and Ali froze there. The young man next to him was also stunned. The two looked at each other, and the other party simply walked directly towards Ji Donglai. Ran Bo immediately went over to stop him.

"It's okay, this is Ali's boss!"

Waving his hand, Ji Donglai shook hands with the young man's right hand.

"My name is White Singh. You should know who I represent. What price do you want to sell these things to me? If you agree, I can lift the sanctions on YD Company in India, and your losses can be minimized!"

Whitesinger sat opposite Ji Donglai. Ali stood up this time and kept observing the young man's expression. As an old broker, the other party knew that he was no longer valuable at this time.

"US$6 million. The key components of the satellite need to be built by Yiyuan Zhizao. If you want the program, you need to pay extra, or you can just make it yourself!"

Facing the young man, Ji Donglai was very direct and immediately gave his offer.

"No, it's too expensive! The price we negotiated with Space is not as high as this. You have to know that we are rich, but we can't spend it casually! Ali is right, you are not the only one, we should do it based on the principle of negotiation, instead of you just driving us away! We can make the parts ourselves..."
