Break out of the courtyard

That night, Zhang Heping talked freely about his insights in aerospace, physical chemistry, biomedicine, mechanical intelligence, and the future development direction of science and technology.

With questions from more than 300 winners on site, a discussion meeting on current and future technological development gradually came to an end.

At 23 p.m., Zhang Heping went on stage to present the first prize cheque and certificate to the representatives sent by the hybrid rice research and development team and the president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Island, and then sat aside and waited quietly for the meeting to end.

There were only five people who won second prize for new inventions.

There were 369 people who won third prize for technological innovation.

It’s not that there weren’t many inventions and creations in the past, but that there weren’t many people who uploaded the technology to the world’s Internet forums to share it.

Things like technological blockades cannot be changed overnight.

If Zhang Heping wants to get more posts and papers from the World Internet Forum, he has to continue to build momentum and maintain the World Internet Forum.

As the first Peace Prize award ceremony ended, the winners left the venue with their prize checks and smartphones, got on the buses parked in front of the gymnasium, and were taken away from the school.

Zhang Heping did not mention the recruitment to the winners at the venue, but over at the Peace Hotel, dozens of men, women, young and old who could speak Eagle language were ready.

As soon as the award-winning foreigners walked into the lobby of the Peace Hotel, the men, women, young and old who acted as temporary interpreters came forward one after another. Under the guise of helping the winners connect to the hotel's wireless signal, they unnoticedly opened the Peace Group software on their mobile phones and clicked on the recruitment page.

The recruitment package offered by the Peace Group is actually not that high. The average monthly salary is less than 9 yuan, which is much lower than those well-known experts and professors.

Therefore, after these temporary translators help the winners to click on the recruitment page, they will immediately help other winners connect to the wireless signal and continue the previous operation, allowing those winners to check the recruitment matters themselves.

As for whether anyone fills out and submits a resume on their mobile phone, that is not the responsibility of these temporary translators.

As more and more winners' cell phones connected to the hotel's wireless signal, people who originally exchanged business cards to get to know each other suddenly added each other's QQ numbers on their cell phones and followed each other's updates on the world Internet forum.

This trendy way of making friends quickly spread like wildfire as the winners entered the restaurant on the second floor for a midnight snack, and was captured by the photographer who accompanied them.

The next morning, when most of the winners had not yet woken up due to playing with their smartphones all night, TV stations in Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macau had already broadcast the grand spectacle of them playing with their smartphones together last night.

Amid the bombardment of news related to the Peace Prize, smartphones, and wireless Internet, the news that "five Koreans died in a car accident" seems insignificant.

However, for those interested in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries, this news represents Zhang Heping's revenge!

But don’t forget, the day before the Peace Prize Ceremony, a large passenger plane crashed into the community where Zhang Heping lived at night!

Up to now, all sources of information point to Han Island, and it is determined that someone from Han Island stole the passenger plane and then crashed it into the Renheyi community!
Europe, the Middle East and other countries had a telephone conversation last night, all wanting to get technology from the Peace Group.

However, the Peace Group's hostility towards the Magnesium State prevented the Magnesium State from sending people directly to the Peace College for technical exchanges.

Under the leadership of Eagle Country, European countries demanded that Magnesium stop the assassination attempt on Zhang Heping because they felt that the passenger plane that crashed into the Renheyi community on the top of Taiping Mountain was done by Magnesians!

Even if the guys in Magnesium do not admit it, European countries all agree that Magnesium is the mastermind behind the scenes!

Therefore, European countries first demanded that Magnesium stop the assassination attempt, secondly, demanded that Magnesium give a reasonable explanation for the Iran-Iraq passenger plane incident as soon as possible, and thirdly, demanded that Magnesium and South Korea make a public apology for the attack on the Kowloon Tong laboratory.

Finally, Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries can jointly put pressure on the mainland and the Peace Group, demanding technology sharing or exchanges and learning. The Peace Group must not be allowed to monopolize products such as smartphones, global communications, and high-end chips!

Will the Chinese apologize?
This issue has divided the country into two camps. The doves think that a verbal apology and some compensation will be enough.

In the early 80s, the magnesium military had a precedent of missiles hitting passenger planes. At that time, military GPS positioning was opened for this purpose, so the doves did not think it was a big deal.

The hawks believe that a tough stance must be taken to subdue external forces and ensure the international status of the magnesium dollar payment.

For this reason, Lao Bushi, who used to be a museum director in the mainland capital, said firmly on many public occasions: "I will never apologize for the country of magnesium, never! I don't care what the country of magnesium did, I don't care what the truth of the incident is!"

However, as the news of a defense system called the Eye of God was spread by the Peace Prize winner, the Magnesians were speechless, unsure whether the Eye of God defense system could really intercept all the missiles currently in service in Magnesium.

In addition to the pressure from public opinion in various countries, the U.S. sent Deputy Chief Executive George Bush to speak at the UN General Assembly on July 7, explaining that the shooting down of the passenger plane was a wartime accident.

Translated into human language, it means that although they regret this "accident", they believe it is unavoidable and they should not bear legal responsibility.

Then, there is no more!
Zhang Heping did not comment on this, and the public opinion offensives from various countries also subsided. Only Iran and Iraq are still demanding explanations for the families of the victims!
But a month later, when prices in mainland China soared and panic buying occurred everywhere, a video appeared on the World Internet Forum.

The video is in a grid format and was recorded by four cameras.

If we look at the upper left, upper right, and lower right video images together, we can only determine that the three cameras are above the vast sea of ​​clouds, with nothing around them.

In the lower left video frame, there are two missile launchers.

The two black missiles standing on the shelf were respectively labeled MIM-104 and SM-2MR in white paint.

These two code names seem unfamiliar to mainlanders, but after they were changed to Patriot air defense missile and Standard II air defense missile, many people understood what weapons they were.

As the two missiles in the lower left video frame ignite and take off, the camera follows closely and sees them disappear into the white clouds.

There was no change in the other three camera lenses at first, but alarm sounds soon sounded in the videos, and red warning lights lit up in the upper right corners of the three video screens.

Immediately afterwards, two missiles emerged from the sea of ​​clouds in the upper left and right video images. They were the two anti-aircraft missiles that had just been launched from the ground.

However, just as they rushed straight towards the camera, they suddenly exploded the next second!

There was no warning, and no visible obstructions; it just exploded out of nowhere!

A big hole was blown in the sea of ​​clouds by the shock waves of the two missiles. The lower left video frame immediately captured a hot air balloon flying high in the sky, swaying back and forth due to the shock wave.

The four videos turned black immediately, and finally turned into a black screen with a line of large white words in the middle:
【God's Eye Defense System】

~
Governor's House, Central, Hong Kong Island.

Just as Director Tom of the Magnesium Embassy ran to the Governor's House next door to inquire about the intelligence of the Eye of God defense system because of the pinned video post on the World Internet Forum, the matter was being discussed in the living room of the Governor's House.

"The result of domestic experts' analysis is that, based on the flames and shock wave range produced by the explosion of the two missiles in the video, it is indeed the explosion power that should be produced after the explosion of the MIM-104 and SM-2MR air defense missiles of the Magnesium country."

"Now we should not worry about whether the two missiles are magnesium missiles, or whether they are missiles imitated by the mainland or purchased from outside. We should immediately send someone to the Shenzhen Peace College to inquire about the price of the Eye of God defense system and buy a few sets to study."

"Mr. Sith, we have even sold the Royal Arsenal in our country, so where can we find a research laboratory to study this thing?" "Mr. Sith, why are you so excited? People who don't know your identity would think you are the general manager of the Magnesium Raytheon Company with an annual salary of tens of millions!"

"In my opinion, this video is just Mr. Zhang's way of fulfilling his previous promise. If you don't apologize, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

"I don't recommend interfering in this matter. I'd better report it to the country first and ask them to make the decision!"

"I second the motion! Compared to the air defense system on the top of Mount Taiping, this Eye of God defense system can be placed on the basket of a hot air balloon. It must be a reduced version, specially used to sell to Iran and Iraq to make money."

"Speaking of making money, Mr. Zhang made such a big fuss before, could he be advertising the Eye of God Defense System? He wants to sell it for a good price!"

"It's very likely! The Peace Group likes to spend a lot of money on advertising to promote product sales. The big fuss they made before is probably a new type of advertising."

Director Tom, who was standing outside the door, originally wanted to eavesdrop for a while, but he was seen by the female secretary inside.

After a while, Director Tom sat on the sofa in the living room and said to the Governor who was leisurely drinking coffee:

"Your Excellency, Governor of Hong Kong, I heard that Zhang Heping has returned to Hong Kong Island with his family. Can you ask someone to confirm with him whether the Eye of God defense system can defend against all magnesium missiles as he said before?"

"Have Mr. Zhang and his family returned to Hong Kong Island?" The Governor looked at the other Eagle Americans with a little surprise.

The other Eagle people looked at each other, obviously they didn't know about this.

"I heard that the chief steward of Han Island was shot the day before yesterday and is still lying in the hospital. I wonder if it was because of the reward offered by Mr. Zhang?" A tall and thin Eagle countryman looked at Director Tom and asked with a smile:

"Director Weber is staying in Hong Kong Island. He won't want to assassinate Mr. Zhang again!"

"Director Tom, be careful!" A tall American man wearing a golden wig said with a smile, "Director Weber can escape back to Magnesium after he is done, but you can't."

The Governor was silent for a while, until the female secretary finished the phone call and whispered in his ear that Zhang Heping and his family were returning to Hong Kong by boat. Only then did the Governor interrupt the teasing of the other Eagle people.

"Director Tom, I'm sending someone to ask now. There are only two possible answers," the Governor said calmly. "One is what you're most worried about. That defense system can defend against all of your missiles in service."

"The other one is what you are most expecting. That video is fake. There is no such God's Eye defense system at all!"

"But based on the feedback from those who won the Peace Prize, do you think Mr. Zhang would be so bored as to make fake videos for you Chinese people to watch?"

After hearing this, the Eagles who had just quieted down immediately echoed, "Mr. Zhang will not lose his credibility just to deceive the Magnesium people."

"If you don't know the international influence of the World Internet Forum, you can go to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet instead of hiding in the embassy with no water or electricity and looking at the sky all day."

~
Zhang Heping didn't know that after the magnesium embassy in Hong Kong had been cut off from water and electricity for so long, the magnesium people were looked down upon by the hawks, and that Director Tom was being ridiculed by the hawks in the Hong Kong government.

Zhang Heping brought his family back to Hong Kong Island today. One reason was that price reform had begun in the mainland and he didn't want to stay in Shenzhen to clean up other people's messes.

The second reason is that the Pigeon Eye air defense system on the roof of the apartment building has been replenished with ammunition, so the safety factor is maximized.

The bodyguard at the door of the villa suddenly poked his head in, looked at Zhang Heping who was teasing his young son by the sofa, and asked softly, "Boss, Mr. Shen Bi is here, do you want to see him?"

Zhang Heping glanced at the cloudy weather outside and said, "Please ask him to sit on the lounge chair on the flat ground for a while. I will come out later."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping picked up his youngest son, took him to the instrument room on the second floor, and handed him over to his first wife, Tang Xin.

After Zhang Heping walked out of the villa, Huifeng Chairman Shen Bi, who was walking around on the plain, immediately walked towards Zhang Heping.

"Mr. Zhang, something happened!" Shen Bi said hurriedly, "The Magnesium people are investigating our Huifeng Bank's Magnesium branch!"

Zhang Heping embraced the old man from Eagle Country who loved collecting famous watches and asked with a smile, "What's the reason?"

Shen Bi was brought to the chair by Zhang Heping and said with a complicated expression: "They said that our Meiguo branch was suspected of money laundering for drug dealers!"

Zhang Heping motioned Shen Bi to sit down and said casually, "For money laundering, Heping Audit Company has to go to Huifeng Bank to check it every year. Huifeng's internal compliance department also conducts self-inspections every year. There shouldn't be any problems found at the Meiguo branch!"

"Under normal circumstances, there really is no problem!" Shen Bi frowned and said, "But the problem is, if the Meiguo guy keeps investigating like this, the Meiguo branch will not be able to operate, the number of depositors will decrease, and the loans will not be recovered."

"How much?" Zhang Heping suddenly asked.

Shen Bi didn't react for a while until Zhang Heping asked, "In the worst case scenario, how much money will the Meiguo branch lose?"

"This...will probably result in a loss of 62 billion magnesium yuan!" Shen Bi replied with an uncertain number.

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "I will cover this gap. You spread the news that the Meiguo man is investigating Huifeng Meiguo branch and the possible loss amount, so that Huifeng's stock price can drop. I will let Heping Group increase its holdings of Huifeng shares."

Shen Bi opened his mouth, thinking of the tens of billions of magnesium yuan in liquid funds in the Peace Group's account. This loss was really nothing to the Peace Group.

"Okay, I'll go back later and ask someone to do it." After Shen Bi relaxed, he had the leisure to look around. "Mr. Zhang, be careful of the Special Intelligence Bureau of Magnesium when you come back this time. Their director has stayed in Hong Kong Island for more than a month and has not left yet."

"Thanks for the reminder!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "Heping College is about to recruit students again. I have to come back and take care of it to avoid recruiting some ugly students."

The two chatted for a while until the head of CITIC Rong and the head of China Resources came together, and Shen Bi said goodbye and left.

The heads of CITIC and China Resources came here to inquire about the sales of the Eye of God defense system. They were all entrusted by foreigners to come and inquire about the price.

"The Heping Group does not sell arms. You can contact Mr. Hua to ask about this matter, or let those foreigners participate in the Autumn Canton Fair." Zhang Heping raised his teacup towards the two of them, indicating that they should drink tea.

Zhongxin Rong Lao picked up the teacup and asked, "Can this Eye of God defense system be sold to the Japanese? I guess they bought it and gave it to the Magnesium people to disassemble and study."

"I don't mind!" Zhang Heping took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and continued, "If it is cracked by the guys from Magnesium, we can upgrade and sell a batch of upgraded models."

The person in charge of China Resources said: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that China seems reluctant to sell this Eye of God defense system, fearing that it will be used to counter our missiles."

Zhang Heping laughed and said, "I threw the problem to them and hid back in Hong Kong Island. And now you come to ask me."

The person in charge of China Resources smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was entrusted by someone to come here to ask you for advice. Otherwise, I would never ask about such matters. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Heping spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me about this. They didn't give me the missiles to test the Eye of God defense system. I wasted a month trying to copy the missiles from the Chinese."

"If they want to know the answer, they should develop stealth missiles themselves." (End of this chapter)
