Break out of the courtyard

Facing his second sister's pleading eyes, Zhang Heping said with a hint of helplessness: "They think Western Xinjiang is not suitable. First, it is too far away and transportation is inconvenient. Second, it is sparsely populated and the economy is backward."

"The inspection team's trip south is being reported daily in the news. What do you think this trend is?"

Faced with Zhang Heping's question, Zhang Panddi understood that Zhang Heping was also against her going to Xinjiang, but he did not say it explicitly because of her feelings.

Zhang Heping looked at his second sister, who seemed lost in thought, and continued, "Domestic export goods are no longer what they used to be. They no longer have to leave the country through Hong Kong Island."

"The future of the next 10 to 20 years will be along the coast, which will then drive the development of the central and western regions, and then work together to develop the northwest."

"Also, there are two different systems over there: the autonomous region and the corps. If you insist on going there, and you don't understand the local language, they'll most likely transfer you to the corps."

Chen Shuting echoed, "Second sister, most of our group's current investment plans are in the coastal areas."

"If you go to a coastal city, we can just invest there. It's also easier to recruit people along the coast."

Ma Xiuzhen also interrupted at the right time and talked to Zhang Pandidi, who looked depressed.

Zhang Heping looked at her second sister's melancholy expression and did not discourage her anymore. After all, this Western Xinjiang plan was the first time she and her eldest sister planned to climb up.

It's just that they are not thick-skinned enough. Anyone with a bit of cunningness would apply to go to Shanghai even if they couldn't see how bright Shenzhen's future would be.

Because the Peace Group has invested more than 300 billion magnesium yuan there, with a total investment of up to billion!
"Alright!" Zhang Heping interrupted his mother Ma Xiuzhen's rant and said calmly, "Western Xinjiang isn't as bad as you think. A railway to the west will lead directly to Central Asia and Europe, recreating the ancient Silk Road."

After Zhang Heping finished the topic, the family began to eat seriously.

After dinner, Zhang Heping walked to the space capsule remote control center to continue his research on the Lifespan 200 potion and to guide other researchers in their experimental operations.

When the rest of the Zhang family went out for a walk, Elder Hua and Director Wang came over to inquire about Zhang Zhaodi's condition.

It doesn’t matter whether Zhang Zhaodi is sick or not, because it is easy to check whether the diagnosis certificate from Harmonious Hospital is true or false. Outsiders just think that this is the Zhang family venting their dissatisfaction.

Look, Team Leader Qiao, who is far away in the capital, is now suffering the consequences of the Zhang family's dissatisfaction.

"Comrade Zhang Zhaodi is ill. Why don't you, as the team leader, go to Shenzhen with her when she has such a great opportunity?"

"She didn't tell me? As a team leader, wouldn't you ask? How do you care about your team members?"

"Do you know that I fought so hard to get you this position as team leader?"

"Once you handle this international dispute, heavier burdens will be placed on your shoulders in the future!"

"You're so good! Not only did you drive Comrade Zhang Pandi away, but you also didn't care about Comrade Zhang Zhaodi!"

"Do you think that Consultant Zhang will take the initiative to compromise with you and Rimei?"

Zhang Heping will definitely not compromise openly, otherwise his bodyguards will become disloyal.

So, Team Leader Qiao, who was hiding in the corner outside the office, holding his mobile phone and listening to his superior's scolding, booked two tickets that night and prepared to fly to Shenzhen the next morning.

This guy had a plan in mind. He wanted to use the excuse of visiting Zhang Zhaodi to find Zhang Heping to discuss the foreign-related issues of the January 1th bombing.

To this end, Team Leader Qiao organized several sets of moral blackmail tactics overnight, trying to force Zhang Heping to consider the overall situation.

But what he didn't expect was that when he came to Shenzhen with his secretary, he didn't even see the gate of Peace College, not to mention Zhang Pandidi who blocked his mobile number and Zhang Zhaodi who turned off her phone.

Even though he called back to the capital for help and eventually got in touch with Hua Lao's secretary, they still wouldn't let him into the intersection.

Elder Hua and Director Wang were unaware that Zhang Heping was prepared to compromise. Furthermore, since the diplomatic negotiation team was established, they did not visit Zhang Heping or the seriously injured driver immediately, so they had a bad impression of Team Leader Qiao.

After asking Zhang Heping a probing question, Hua Lao abandoned the idea of ​​letting Team Leader Qiao in; such a person was not worthy of disturbing Zhang Heping's experiment.

Team Leader Qiao, who had been waiting in vain in Shenzhen for several days, finally received a transfer order, asking him to return to his original unit without even having to do any handover work, because their negotiation team was disbanded on the spot.

All subsequent negotiations fell into the hands of the United Nations' diplomatic negotiations team.

Influenced by space-based early warning systems, Mach 12 supersonic missiles, and electromagnetic pulse bombs, Europe's calls for a ban on space weapons are becoming increasingly strong.

The mainland's diplomatic negotiation team at the United Nations is currently determined to stick to one thing: until the January 1th bombing is resolved, there is no need to discuss space weapons.

The reason for this change is mainly because after the Cosmetology Department of Shenzhen Peace Hospital injected the Shouyuan 4 medicine to Director Zhao and his team of four senior experts, it started physical conditioning for five newly arrived elderly people, which significantly accelerated the use of the Shouyuan 120 medicine.

In the office of Old Bull in the United States.

"Chief William is dead. Put the blame on him and put an end to the January 1th bombing as soon as possible!"

When the dozen or so people in the room heard what Old Bu said, their expressions did not change, because it had little to do with their interests.

The blonde secretary reminded him, "And there's also a public apology to the victims! The mainlanders asked us to submit the written apology letter to them for review first."

"Promise them!" Old Bu frowned and said, "Let this matter be settled as soon as possible, and lift all restrictions on the Peace Group."

After the Peace Group included Japan in the blacklist this time, it directly cut off the supply of Japanese magnesium to regional distributors.

Although various Peace Group products still flow into the Japanese and Magnesium markets, they are all branded products with the Peace trademark removed.

In other words, whether the country of magnesium bans the products of the Peace Group or whether the Peace Group bans its exports, it cannot prevent the Peace Group's products from flowing into the Japanese-magnesium market.

Of course, except for the 120-year lifespan potion!

Since Shouyuan 120 medicine is not sold to the public due to production restrictions and is only available for use within hospitals, Heping Group's Shouyuan 100 medicine is also no longer sold to the public and can only be injected in the Cosmetology Department of Heping Hospital.

Old Bush broke his usual habit today and demanded that the Peace Group issue be settled as soon as possible and that all restrictions on the Peace Group be lifted.

This is because after the general election started in January this year, his support rate has been declining, and some of his financial sponsors have cut off their sponsorship!
The reason is that the opponent Xiao Ke is shameless.

In his speeches over the past month, Xiao Ke has often mentioned one thing: after he takes office, he will restore normal trade relations with the Peace Group and then introduce the Peace Group's latest longevity potion and their chip technology.

This obviously impossible thing was believed by foolish voters because Peace Group is a multinational corporation, not a country with many restrictions.

Especially those old fogies who wanted to live longer and held a lot of power all started to favor that kid! In addition, Du Yong did not hide the fact that he received the Longevity 120 drug in the cosmetic surgery department of Hong Kong Island Peace Hospital. Those Americans who had money but could not buy the Longevity 120 drug put pressure on Old Bush.

As for space-based early warning systems and space weapons, that is a game between countries and has nothing to do with longevity potions.

Immediately afterwards, the Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong received a task to contact the Peace Group and seek their forgiveness.

"Forgive me!" Zhu Chengguang, the Umbrella Security Manager, immediately retorted when he heard the Magnesian wanted to apologize and ask for forgiveness from the families and victims of the truck bomb. "The mourning hall has been parked outside their embassy for so many days, and they haven't even come to burn a stick of incense."

"It's too late to ask for forgiveness now!"

Having said that, after the subordinate who reported the matter left his office, Zhu Chengguang immediately called Zhang Heping, but unfortunately the call didn't go through.

In the end, Zhu Chengguang only contacted Chen Shuting, told her about the matter, and asked Chen Shuting to pass it on to Zhang Heping.

As the old saying goes, the world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.

When the news spread that Shenzhen Peace Hospital had started to carry out the injection of the 120-day life-saving drug in an orderly manner, the people of Magnesium, far away on the other side of the ocean, also received the news.

A large number of magnesium-based people want to introduce the Peace Group's 120-year lifespan potion through trade normalization.

At the very least, they can be allowed to invest in the mainland, earn RMB, and prepare for the purchase of longevity potions in the future.

Shenzhen, top floor of the Biological Genetic Laboratory Building.

After entering the remote control center, Hua Lao didn't disturb Zhang Heping. Instead, he went to the control panel next to him, found a young student, and casually asked, "What kind of experiment are they doing right now?"

"Weren't you listening carefully when I was talking just now?" The middle-aged man in a white coat standing next to the control panel, who was watching the old assistant remotely control the robotic arm, frowned and looked behind him, trying to see which student was talking just now.

As a result, he was greeted with an apologetic smile from Mr. Hua.

Just as the middle-aged man in the white coat was about to speak, he saw Old Hua wave his hand at him, signaling them to continue.

Seeing the teacher turn away in embarrassment, the young student approached Hua Lao and whispered, "Those are potato seeds, there are five varieties in total."

"Teacher Zhang used up some of his supplies today, freeing up some space for us to do this experiment."

Looking at the six large monitors in front of his old assistant, Hua pointed to the many vines and leaves displayed on the screens and asked with a puzzled look, "Won't letting them grow like this affect the spacecraft?"

"I'm not sure about that!" The young student shook his head and replied quietly, "But Teacher Zhang just reviewed our experiment and didn't say there was a problem with this."

Since Zhang Heping did not correct the wild-growing plants here, Hua Lao did not ask any more questions. After all, he was a layman, and asking too many questions would only make these experts and students hesitant to act.

Professor Hua then checked out the other control panels, occasionally asking a question in a low voice to inquire about the progress of the experiment.

With the opening of the four Shouyuan space capsules to domestic scientific research institutions and research groups, the number of control consoles in the remote control center has increased to 4.

When each control console is used, it can control a pair of robotic arms or a spherical robot.

Inside each Shouyuan space capsule, there is a pair of fixed robotic arms on the top, bottom, left and right sides, as well as two spherical robots. The four capsules are just enough to accommodate 2 control consoles.

However, the robotic arms and spherical robots on the No. 1 Shouyuan Space Capsule are rarely deployed because Zhang Heping’s recent experiments cannot afford to fail!
There must be no situation in other space capsules where the spherical robot collides with the robotic arm, or the robotic arm knocks over the supplies being transported by the spherical robot.

Hua waited in the remote control center until lunchtime before Zhang Heping finished his work.

"People from the US embassy are here. They say they're here to apologize to you. Do you want to see them?" Old Hua said casually, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Heping's expression.

"I don't have time to deal with them!" Zhang Heping said it casually. He really didn't want to deal with the Mexicans, and he didn't have time to deal with them.

Hua Lao didn't try to persuade him, just as he didn't immediately talk to Zhang Heping about it after arriving at the control center. He really didn't take the Americans seriously.

"By the way, the next batch of people to be injected with the Lifespan 120 drug has been selected." When Hua Lao and Zhang Heping walked downstairs, Hua Lao took a black hardcover loose-leaf booklet from Secretary Chen. "If you think there are no problems, I will notify them to hand over their work and then come over to recuperate."

"Ten people?" Zhang Heping flipped through the black booklet casually, then handed it to Secretary Chen. He frowned and asked, "Do you need me to contact my father-in-law and mother-in-law to come over?"

Mr. Hua explained with a smile, "We have already contacted them. They, along with Lao Yang and Lao Zhuang, will come at the end of the month, which is exactly six months after the last blood draw."

Zhang Heping said "oh" and nothing else, obviously he had no other opinions.

Elder Hua and Secretary Chen exchanged a smile, both feeling that this was a good start, as the quantity of medicine had already doubled in the second batch.

This way, they can be more persuasive when they subsequently rank medications for others.

Zhang Heping sat in the car, thought for a moment, and then said to Secretary Chen in the front passenger seat, "Secretary Chen, I'll send you an electronic document later. Find a construction team to help me build a building. We'll use it to automate the production of Shouyuan medicine. This way, when I'm not here, there'll be no one to make the medicine."

Hearing this, Hua Lao, who was standing next to him, was taken aback. Wasn't Zhang Heping afraid of technology leaks?

"Okay, Consultant Zhang!" Secretary Chen agreed first, then asked, "Do we need to select people for the production workshop in advance?"

"No need. I'll set up a fully automated production line," Zhang Heping said nonchalantly. "When the time comes, I'll pick a few careful assistants and pour the blood into the material inlet according to blood type."

"Unless someone removes the entire production line and disassembles it for research, there's no way to crack the preparation technology for the 120-year lifespan potion."

"That's good!" Elder Hua was relieved and had more confidence in the subsequent sequencing and medication work.

Just as he was about to get off the bus, Old Hua seemed to remember something, "Oh right, your second sister's application to go to Xinjiang was rejected."

"I heard that she studies Hong Kong's laws after get off work and wants to send her to the special mission in Hong Kong to gain a deeper understanding of all aspects of Hong Kong's situation and prepare for legislation after the handover."

"It just so happens that your group has a law firm. Your second sister is not an outsider, so she should be able to come and go freely in your law firm!"

"You have to pay a consultation fee to ask questions at a law firm!" Zhang Heping said with a smile. "Law students from Hong Kong Island Peace College go to the Peace Law Firm for internships. Every time the lawyers answer a question, it's credited to the college's account, and it's settled every semester."

Hua Lao and Zhang Heping got out of the car together and said with a smile, "I've heard about this. It seems that because of this charging model, the retake fees for law students are much more expensive than those for other departments."

"Hong Kong uses Eagle Law, but the Eagles don't have a single law school here," Zhang Heping said gravely. "This results in a high cost for Hong Kong residents to hire lawyers and sue. When faced with problems, they tend to keep quiet and avoid litigation."

"I spend a lot of money training them, just hoping they will study diligently. Once there are enough lawyers in Hong Kong, legal fees will naturally come down." (End of Chapter)
