Chapter 372 The Beginning of Turbulence
The command building of the former military base has been refitted, and the floor-to-ceiling window of the building where you can directly see things outside the building has been replaced by a new type of purified glass. The outer layer of the purified glass has a transparent lattice filter, which has the function of sharing radioactive substances. The radiant dust will be blocked outside the glass by this layer of crystal mesh, thus playing a role in protecting the indoor environment.
Crystal mesh glass is a small part of the results of the environmental purification exploration plan carried out by the Black Rose family in recent years. This glass has not yet been released. When other building materials with purifying effects are developed one by one, Beyonice may consider launching them all on the market. This should be a big impact on the existing purification equipment market, and now, the windows of the command building have been replaced with this purification glass as a pilot of the Black Rose family.
Of course, crystal mesh glass alone is not enough to completely isolate the environment inside and outside the building. Therefore, 20 air filter generators are installed in the corner of the hall, which will constantly filter the air of the whole hall and send toxic substances outdoors through discharge pipes to create a relatively safe indoor environment for the hall.
If not, the nobles of Asgard would not have come to the wilderness to participate in the invitation party for the opening of the company at zero. After the fireworks for the opening of the party ended, there was a melodious piano sound in the hall. After the pianist played a song, Zero presided over the speech of the party and announced the official start of the cocktail party.
Next, the light in the hall became soft, and with the sound of the deep and soft piano, the nobles began to whisper. Countless information is secretly pierced between the receptions, and the occasional low smiles and wine glasses are intertwined, which means that some agreements are quietly reached. The public relations staff of Zero Point Company also began to appear among these noble merchants, exploring possible business opportunities at the reception.
This is an aristocratic business game. Looking at those polite men and well-dressed women, Zero can't connect the scene in front of him with the cruel wilderness outside.
Whether it is in the old era or the new era, the gap between the rich and the poor will always be so huge. People in the wilderness may fight for a clean bread, but a party like this can eat the rations of a thousand-person town in the wilderness in recent years. At the same time, it also eats at least one million yuan.
Looking at the waiter's piercing, the opening of a bottle of wine, the soft light is swinging gracefully, and even the air with the lowest amount of radiation in the hall. All this means that the money in the zero pocket is pouring out.
It's just that Zero also understands that if you don't pay, you won't get anything. What he has given now must be doubled back from these people.
"You did a good job, zero."
The old man's slightly nasal voice sounded behind Zero. Zero turned around and saw the notebook of his casual clothes. Ben came to the zero cocktail party today in a private capacity, but even so, I don't know how many nobles in the party came to follow the trend after hearing that Ben was also present. Otherwise, as an upstart, some self-contained nobles in the field are not something he can invite.
I am grateful for this old man who knows from the wilderness, changed his fate and still supports it with all his strength. He invited the waiter, picked up two cups of wine, and handed one of them to Ben. Zero said sincerely, "I'm very happy that you will come. Lord Douglas.
Ben laughed, took the glass and said, "Here I'm Ben, not Douglas. We used to be comrades-in-arms, but of course, the time was very short. But anyway, I still remember that small experience. Come on, let's have a drink."
Zero smile, wine glasses staggered, one drink.
"Zero, you did better than I thought. At present, according to my original estimate, I thought it would take you at least three years to do all this. But it only took you more than a year, which is very good to prove that I have vision. Ben drank another glass and said with the breath of wine.
Zero stood next to him and said lightly, "Without your help, I couldn't do this now. So I am very grateful and a little confused at the same time.
"Oh, what doubts? Let's talk about it." Ben asked with interest.
Zero shook a new wine and said, "If you can develop the Spirit Hall and Asgard to one of the two giants of the mainland, I believe that when you are Lord Douglas, you must be a far-sighted person. I have read some books before. In the old days, few people in power like you have cultivated their subordinates as vigorously as you, or even to the level of permissive. Lord Douglas is not afraid of people like me. Once the power expands to a certain extent, will they not be controlled by you or the Yingling Hall?
After listening to Zero's doubts, he did not answer immediately. He called the third wine and didn't forget to say, "The wine tonight is good. You can't get such a product. It should be provided by Beatrice."
Nodding, Ben smiled and said, "That's it. Even Beyonice thinks you are a partner who can cooperate with. Do you think my vision will be worse than that girl?"
Ben took a small sip and said, "Zero, I'm not dizzy enough. If I can't control my ambition, I'm not stupid enough to lend a gun to others to deal with myself. When we met in Remte that day, I made it clear why you took over Theon's mission. If you are not a responsible man, I won't give you Colt that night, but send you a bullet directly.
"The identity of the artificial god is not enough for me to invite you. Of course, the crazy plan of the old era does have a lot of value for research, but once your identity is not well controlled, it will definitely be a devastating disaster for Asgard. No matter how stupid I am, I won't put a * by my side. Ben looked at Zero and said seriously, "The reason why I support you is that I believe that you, who can take out all the money on yours to help others, has enough self-discipline to control your strength and ambition. Such you will be my friend, not your enemy.
"Of course, this alone is not enough. Your strength, your sense of responsibility, and everything you do now are the embodiment of your value. Zero, you have that value, so that I, Beatrice and the people at the venue will invest in you. Ben smiled and said, "Also, I'm not generous enough to impose restrictions on you powerful guys. It's just that you haven't reached the limit yet.
At this time, an assistant came to Zero and reminded him that he should prepare for the weapons exhibition. So Ling left. When his figure was overwhelmed by the crowd, Ben quietly withdrew from the venue and sat on a private car that had already been prepared outside the venue.
Ben just came to take a look and show his face to express his support for Zero. Now that what he should have done has been done, there is no need to continue to stay. After all, the real protagonist tonight is zero.
The car left the base and drove towards the wilderness back to Asgard. While driving, a screen in front of this seat was put down. After a moment of standby, the screen appears. In the picture, Cario's figure appears in it.
"How's it going, Cario? Is there any news from the technical department?" Ben asked indifferently.
In recent days, he has been trying to track down the identity of the person behind the scene who wants to kill Zero. Due to his pressure, the relevant technicians of the headquarters have worked overtime day and night to trace the source of the fake order issued through the command system on the same day.
Carrio has two panda eyes, and there are already as many as three cigars in the chief instructor's mouth. As if to burn the lungs, he took a few puffs of smoke and said, "You came just in time. I'm looking for you. Basically, there are results. The few days they have been busy in the technical department have not been in vain. It is certain that the guy who issued the order is a computer master. Or, he has such a talent. Anyway, the order itself has set up many data traps and problems. I won't elaborate on the process. The conclusion is that this order was issued by our great god of darkness, Lord Rocky!"
"Loki?" Ben's pupils shrank slightly and said in a low voice, "Have you investigated clearly?"
"At least 80% sure. The technical department found an abandoned tablet brain from the source of the signal terminal. The brain has been damaged, but they found that the central chip can be repaired. Callio tried his best to smoke a few more cigarettes and coughed several times. He said, "Of course, the smart brain is not a special computer that Lord Rocky usually uses. Only some information was found in the repaired chip, which indirectly pointed to Mr. Rocky. This information includes several emails. Hey, it turns out that our Excellency Loki is also a guest of the dark merchant. Then there are some video materials. It can be said that Mr. Rocky is quite photogenic, so do you want me to give these things to your secretary?
Ben frowned. Although Carlio looked like a rough man, he was rigorous when doing business. Since he dares to report 80% of the possibility, the answer is almost 100%. I just didn't expect that it was Rocky who wanted to kill zero.
This is not impossible. Rocky has a strange personality and has comments such as "narrow, possessive and destructive" in his personality evaluation. Among them, the most serious is Loki's possessiveness. In Loki's private mansion, all his decorations and even the materials used in the building are unique things in Asgard. Loki will never allow what he has to appear in the hands of others. If such a situation occurs, the similar things must be destroyed by him.
Speaking of which, I still remember that there was a small conflict between Rocky and Zero at the last celebration dinner in the auditorium. At that time, Rocky threatened to destroy Zero. At that time, he only thought that Loki was acting like a child, so he didn't pay attention to it. Judging from the evidence held by Cario, this possibility is infinitely expanded.
If that's all, Loki still has dealings with dark merchants, which is what we can't tolerate. Others may not know, but Ben, Cario or Paul all know that the dark businessman is actually handled by Oglock, the speaker of the dark parliament. If Rocky has dealings with the dark merchant, there is no guarantee that there will be no cooperation between him and Oglock.
This is very likely in terms of Loki's weakness.
On the screen, Cario silently waited for Ben's decision. After thinking for a moment, Ben finally sighed, "Let Valkyri monitor Rocky. If he does something out of line, he can directly sanction him without me. Inform Saul and Badr to keep a close eye on the movements of the dark knife members and forcibly detain them by force if necessary. The only thing to note is that all this should be done in secret, and I don't want to smell anything from Oglock.
Carrio said silently, "I know what to do."
At the end of the communication, Ben frowned more as the screen gradually retracted into the bottom cover of the car. As the car carrying the highest power of Asgard returned to the city, the city began to surge, and the unknown turmoil was coming!
The undercurrent is coming, but at least it is calm at this moment. The weapons exhibition room of Zero Point Technology is brightly lit. The exhibition room is located behind the venue and covers an area of about 2,000 square meters. The room is full of weapons racks, but most of the weapons racks are still empty. Only on the shelves in the light weapons area, a batch of light rifles just produced by the company not long ago are placed.
Although these rifles are weapons of the old era, through the use of finishing technology and composite materials in the new era, these finished products are not only accurate, but also strong and durable. If it flows into the wilderness, it is also a good product. In addition, there are other light firearms equipment for customers to buy for reference.
However, although these weapons are well made, they are absolutely impossible to compare with new weapons in terms of power. Naturally, the exhibition room of 2,000 square meters is only open to ordinary customers. This is the first exhibition held by Zero Point Company, and the weapons in the exhibition are not based on power. The real selling point is the production capacity reflected by this batch of firearms. In time, it will have its own equipment development team. Under the guarantee of such production facilities, it is difficult to guarantee that zero-point companies will not produce excellent new weapons.
Therefore, among the nobles who visited the exhibition room, although the number of people placing orders was small. However, there are also more than a dozen unique people who saw the meaning behind this exhibition and ordered a batch of new firearms, which is the first step in their cooperation with Zero Point.
Among the nobles at the venue, there were four or five noble masters who had been rated as major customers by the public relations team of Zero Company. They secretly invited them to take the repaired elevator to the underground second-floor base and visit the headquarters of Zero Company and the newly built arsenal.
In the arsenal, several running lines are in operation. However, most of the space in the factory is still idle, and the workers, equipment, and even soft and hardware facilities such as weapon development teams are still very lacking. Only when all these things are in place can the factory action of Zero Technology officially get on the right track. However, in several assembly lines in operation, a new type of individual combat rifle is being produced, but it has attracted the attention of these nobles.
The combat rifle produced by this assembly line is called "Dark Blood". At present, it has been improved by the second generation, so that this new rifle can be driven by high-volume battery, completely replacing the old ignition system. This makes the rifle very quiet when shooting and makes almost no noise, which can be said to be an invisible killer on the battlefield.
The rifle has two modes to choose from: sniper and continuous shooting. In the sniper mode, the shooting distance can reach up to two kilometers, and even in the continuous shooting mode, it has an effective distance of nearly 1,000 kilometers. This makes the long-range fire suppression no longer need to be completed by heavy equipment such as rapid-fire heavy guns. The new rifles are more flexible to use. As for the power, it can be made up for by quantity.
Dark Blood Type 2 is a weapon produced by zero from the Black Rose family. Although the power of this rifle is at the bottom of the new weapon, it is the same as the ground exhibition room, which shows customers that the company has the ability and equipment to produce new weapons.
Therefore, after visiting the arsenal, several nobles were invited to the high-level living room, although only one customer said that he wanted to order a batch of dark-blooded rifles. But during the talk, the remaining customers also showed their willingness to cooperate, but what they needed was far from a weapon of the dark blood rifle.
In the deal with these nobles, in addition to the public relations staff of Black Rose, the committee who was invited to the reception tonight was also on the list. Theon became the temporary adviser of Zero. He talked well and gave Theon a certain understanding of the nobles of the city during his life in Asgard. Therefore, in some technical communication, Theon can be described as fluent.
From politics to art, from war to women, Theon has dabbled in almost every field. Every time I talk about it, I skillfully use words to show that the talker is better than me in this respect. It made these nobles smile and feel that it's too late to meet Theon. So while talking and laughing, Theon's faintly zero company won several large orders. When the zero factory is on the right track, special personnel will track the process of these orders.
Looking at Theon's fish in water among these nobles, Ling sighed.
Everyone has a battlefield that everyone is good at.
Zero's battlefield is in the wilderness, while Theon's battlefield is in politics and business. Theon's cameo tonight has set a few potential customers for long-term cooperation, which is no less than a powerful person.
When the relevant staff took over the work of Theon and began to provide dedicated services to these customers, Zero and Theon quietly left the reception room. Their work has been completed, and the next step is nothing more than the work of tracking services, but they don't have to do it themselves.
Zero and Theon walk in the transformed living area, where some water purification units and generator sets have been restored. As long as the fuel is sufficient, it can fully support half of the base for daily operation. Of course, as long as Zero continues to expand, it is not impossible for this two-story base to fully resume operation one day.
If the second-story base operates normally, it means that there will be a population of nearly 2,000, which is already equivalent to the size of a medium-sized town.
Looking at this base, Theon was in a trance, as if he had seen the epitome of Remte.
At this time, Zero said, "Mr. Theon, may I take the liberty to make a request to you?"
Theon smiled and said, "Do you want me to stay and help you?"
Wise as Theon, how can he not guess zero's mind?
