Chapter 1222: Zhao Xiaopang's Wedding Date
(At the end, I have to fill in a lot of holes I dug before, and the update is late... 4K words of chapters, that's all for today.)
United States, Seattle, OTMC headquarters building, a group of burly men in suits and leather shoes surrounded the old horse and went out. The bodyguards carefully protected the old horse and got into the car, and then hurried away.
Then, OTMC chiefs Grant and McGovern breathed a sigh of relief, patted their respective chests, and walked back.
Under their suits, they were all wearing bulletproof vests, and just now they were all ready to help the old horse block bullets at any time.
Recently, Lao Ma's situation is not good. Although he participated in the election, he is not welcomed by the mainstream media, and everyone is smearing him.
This sudden change in wind direction, in the eyes of the public, naturally means that the support rate of the old horse has dropped sharply, but for those who really understand politics and the situation in the United States, it means that the enemies of the old horse are really afraid up.
Once, Lao Ma, as one of the big bosses of the lazy gods, participated in the presidential election of the United States, and received a lot of booing support from many people. The entire American political circle was quite friendly to him, because most people even supported him The political party he ran for had actually never thought that he was serious, let alone that he might win.
But now, when Lao Ma resigned from all his positions in the Lazy God Department and really started to go deep into the campaign, the entire public opinion changed drastically, and he began to slander Lao Ma crazily.
In this regard, Lao Ma didn't say much, he just carried out his various activities step by step, gave speeches everywhere, interacted with voters, and exposed himself as much as possible, including today, he came to OTMC for a visit or inspection action.
For Lao Ma's security, several directors of OTMC also took great pains, and they did everything to the extreme, and they didn't turn around until Lao Ma left the headquarters.
While walking, they were also discussing the previous communication with Lao Ma.
This time, they took OTMC's foundation and made a deal with Lao Ma.
As directors of OTMC, Grant and McGovern actually belong to different political parties, but their hearts are actually inclined to the old horse.
The birth of OTMC (Offshore Technology Monitoring Centre, Overseas Technology Monitoring Center) is closely related to Nanming, because Nanming created an organization specially to protect the existence of lazy gods by using the authority of "empathy". At the beginning of its establishment, the entire OTMC was simply the most miserable place in the world. Every agent had the experience of being hit by a car on the way to work, then chased and beaten by robbers, scolded by an old lady, and then splashed with coffee.
As time goes by, all the people who can be transferred have left, leaving only a group of hard-working guys who are forced to work hard in OTMC.
But with the growth of the lazy god system, no matter how powerful the authority is, it is impossible to transfer all the troubles to OTMC, and what Nan Ming attached to the "Pandora's Box" at the beginning was just the "empathy" authority The fragments in it, the authority that cannot be attached to human beings, can be consumed. Over time, the authority of "empathy" is slowly eroded to a weak effect, except for the possibility of stepping on dog shit on the road and being splashed with dirty water. In addition to this troublesome trouble, the OTMC agents are finally no longer the super hard workers in the universe.
At this time, OTMC really ushered in its development opportunity.
From the source of its birth, OTMC is an organization that is responsible for collecting overseas information and technology. In other words, its real purpose of existence is to collect information related to the lazy god system.
The current lazy god system is too powerful, and every field it sets foot in requires a lot of people to collect and analyze.
Grant even once said that every employee of the Lazy God Department has its own dedicated intelligence specialist, and some important figures even have a dedicated team.
These intelligence specialists know these people better than they themselves, and it only takes five minutes to become best friends with these employees.
The streets of Seattle are crowded with people. In the city center, one out of every 100 professionals in suits or short skirts is a staff member of OTMC, or a person who works indirectly for OTMC.
In fact, many employees of the Lazy God Department know that they have such an "Intelligence Specialist". Some employees of the Lazy God Department who are more playful have hacked into OTMC to moles them, but these intelligence specialists are very willing to compromise and flatter them. , Later, some employees of the lazy gods simply used these intelligence specialists as real assistants other than personal assistants.
Especially when traveling to the United States, call a few agents, wear black suits, black sunglasses, hug each other, and enjoy the pleasure of being a big boss, not to mention how cool it is, they can’t enjoy this kind of treatment in China, Because of those people who are lazy and safe, they are all uncles than them!
The United States today is probably a bit like the appearance of first-class foreigners and second-class officials in the early days of China, but the foreigners here probably only refer to employees belonging to the lazy gods.
Of course, OTMC's intelligence commissioner also got a lot of little secrets that the lazy gods don't care about at all, and these little secrets also made OTMC transfuse a lot of blood to some scientific research institutions and production institutions in the United States. Domestic influence is growing.
As time went by, Grant gradually became one of the heads of the largest intelligence agencies in the United States. In the domestic sequence, he was only under the NSA and CIA. Even the NSA and CIA cannot control many resources. This may be the first time that the focus of the world intelligence community has been transferred from government officials to a company.
If these intelligence commissioners are the "personal assistants" of the employees of the Lazy God Department, then Grant and McGovern are Nan Ming's non-staff assistants.
How far have they done for the lazy gods?
When the United States issued a ban on the lazy gods against the lazy gods and began to shut down the lazy gods' industries on a large scale, Grant and McGovern once sent out their respective agents to protect many lazy gods employees. Received OTMC, or various places, protected them as witnesses, and even secretly sent some people out of the United States.
For Americans, Grant's approach is probably considered a traitor. Grant himself doesn't know whether he is right or wrong in doing so, but as time goes by, the benefits gradually emerge.
Where are the benefits?
Well, if you stand at the gate of OTMC's headquarters and look up, you can see an elevator that leads directly to the zenith.
Lazy God was established in the United States, and it is also the only space elevator established in North America. It is less than 300 meters in front of OTMC's headquarters. OTMC also has another responsibility, which is to be responsible for the peripheral security of the space elevator.
Some time ago, whether it was the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA, or even many famous politicians in the United States, they all had to curry favor with OTMC agents. It was not uncommon to see congressmen inviting some powerful agents to drink coffee in cafes outside. .
Because only OTMC people can help them get through the relationship and let them use the space elevator built in the United States by the Lazy God Department as much as possible.
But even such an OTMC has secrets that cannot be inquired about.
What is the most talked about secret in the world right now?
...
Qingyang University, besides the "Lian" of the Agricultural College, Lao Ma walked towards a group of old men and women who were chatting with a smile.
"Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, it's so early!" Lao Ma walked over with a smile, greeted Zhao's parents and Zhao's mother, and said a few words to other old men and women or middle-aged and elderly people.
"Old Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time. It is said that you are participating in the election in the United States. You are very busy." Several people chatted about the presidential election of the United States as if they were chatting at home.
"Hey, don't mention it, I'm like a singer all day long, yelling on the stage, meeting fans everywhere, I want to sing twice." Lao Ma laughed and teased his campaign career, and then asked Zhao's father and Zhao's mother said: "I heard that Gao Feng is getting married, how about it, has the wedding date been set yet? I can prepare some congratulatory gifts for Gao Feng."
"Hey, it's settled, but this kid said he's too busy, so he's set a deadline now, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, before the dragon rises on the second day of the second lunar month." Father Zhao said.
"This period of time is good, spring is coming, everything is new, it is suitable for getting married and having grandchildren!" The old horse laughed loudly, and then said: "I see that you have been farming on the moon every day recently, and you are very happy!"
"Hey, those of us are just busy. The main thing is Professor Shen and the others, who are studying the lunar soil...it's called lunar soil. To activate the lunar soil, what nutrients need to be added to turn the lunar dust into something that can grow plants. Soil, and whether helium 3 will affect the body, and I also said that some poultry and livestock will be transported to the moon to see if the crops grown on the moon have any effect on the animals..." Dad Zhao said In terms of scientific terminology, it actually looks pretty good, "Two days ago, Professor Shen published a few papers, saying they were very famous, and he insisted on writing our names too, hahahaha, our few papers Big old man, besides tending the crops, he can't do anything else, what name do you want..."
Having said that, Dad Zhao was very happy.
"I often go to the moon, so I need to pay attention to the physical examination. There is more radiation in space than the earth, and the gravity is smaller than that of the earth. Be careful..." the old horse said again.
"Yeah, I heard from Gao Feng that Xiao Ming is designing some kind of 'rotating farm' for us, saying that it is specially designed for us, so that we can stay on the moon more comfortably. Hey, this kid has a heart... "
Lao Ma patiently chatted with Zhao's father, and then said: "Speaking of which, the day of the peak should be settled, and I should be ready when the time comes, and inform relatives and friends, don't you say that I will go to Mars to get married this time? At least Prepare many days in advance..."
"Hey, Xiao Ming and Gao Feng both said that they want to get married in Mars. It takes a long time to go to Mars to get married, isn't it going to take a long time? These relatives don't have time..."
"Don't worry, others won't be able to go with lanterns. There will definitely be a lot of people going, and it will be very lively..." Lao Maxin said, even if these people have units and jobs, I am afraid that the leaders of the work units will have to ask for help. They went to the wedding, which unit doesn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Gaofeng?
"That's good, that's good..." Dad Zhao said, "I did see a few good days, and now I have fallen in love with the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month. It is said in the calendar that it is a suitable day for marriage. I still want to let Gao Feng Getting married in the first month..."
The old horse nodded repeatedly.
After talking a few more words, they saw the lazy god bus stop in front of them silently.
Recently, the team going to the moon to grow vegetables has become bigger and bigger. In addition, they have to pull tools, fertilizers, soil and other things. Nanma’s Xiaolan is no longer competent. Zhao’s father and Zhao’s mother are also asking Nanma. Where did you buy it, I want to buy one too. It is said that many old men and women in the entire Lazy God Department can't stay idle at home and want to organize a group to go to the moon for a farming tour.
At present, the Lazy God Department is building a revolving farm on the moon. Its main principle is similar to that of a revolving restaurant. It uses centrifugal force to create a simulated gravity. After all, the bodies of these old people are no better than young people. Exposure to low-gravity environments for a long time may affect their health. .
At the same time, Xiongzi Technology also intends to put the second generation of the Earth-Moon Train into operation, and send four daily Earth-Moon land farming special trains.
Sometimes, Lao Ma felt that the world was becoming more and more magical. At the beginning, he swore that the moon was too worthless for development, and the lazy gods who were too lazy to build a base on the moon started colonizing the moon for this reason. Seeing that there is a strong tendency to occupy the moon, the Yankees, Russians, Brits, etc. are a little bit impatient.
Many old farmers in the United States have also applied to join the ranks of growing vegetables on the moon. The Lazy God Department is not strict about this, and seems to be a little loose.
It's just that the fare is... so expensive that it makes me want to cry.
An epic vegetable growing journey.
Watching the lazy god bus leave with dozens of elderly people, the smile on the old horse's face gradually faded.
Although Lao Ma has resigned from all positions in the lazy god department, the people in the lazy god department still respect him very much and did not kick him out of the ranks of enjoying these benefits.
He walked into the underground Lazy Shuttle, returned to the United States via the space elevator, and boarded his own car. Grant was already waiting in the car.
"Lazy God Technology will land on Mars around March 7th." Lao Ma said.
"you sure?"
"I'm sure." The old horse nodded. The news that the lazy god department will hold a wedding for Zhao Gaofeng on Mars has spread, but no one knows the exact date.
"Okay, this is the reward we promised, happy cooperation."
The old horse took the box that Grant handed over, opened it and took a look, and there was a smaller box lying quietly inside.
"Pandora's Box", Americans don't even know, what is in this box is actually Lu Rongrong's big sister movie.
But the old horse wants it, of course not for the big sister.
What he wants is the permissions in it.
People who don't know about Lao Ma's recent predicament may think that his approval rate has dropped; those who know politics think that it is because the insiders have begun to face up to his existence and suppress him.
But only a few people know that the real reason is that Miss Abi went to the endless future, and the "Old Revenge Alliance" that lost its target disappeared in smoke, and the power in the old horse's hands was unprecedentedly empty.
Except for the tens of billions of dollars in his hands, Lao Ma has nothing.
Fortunately, Lao Ma is not ignorant of power.
