Chapter 1024: The Ever-Changing City of Koro

Returning to the beautiful Koro Island again, the scenery here is more sci-fi than half a month ago.

After getting off the plane, on the way out of the airport, Jiang Chen noticed several hover cars whizzing past on a six-lane road not far from the airport. Foreigners who came here for the first time exclaimed and took out their mobile phones and digital cameras to take pictures, while the locals acted as if they were used to it and faced it all calmly.

This calmness is not only reflected in those flying cars, but also in those foreigners who are surprised.

The taxi business parked at the entrance of the airport is particularly popular. They were the first people to switch to maglev cars. In order to experience this novel means of transportation, many international friends even took the initiative to ask the driver to take a long detour and complete the entire maglev highway before turning to ordinary roads to reach their hotel.

Jiang Chen was also slightly surprised by the changes in Koro Island, but his surprise was quite limited. After all, he brought this technology over from Block 6, so he wasn't too surprised by this novel means of transportation itself.

But seeing these gadgets that only existed in the future in this world made him feel a little emotional for a while. The times were changing too fast.

Entering the parking lot outside the airport, Jiang Chen bypassed the taxi parking area surrounded by foreigners and walked straight to the corner of the parking lot. There was a red car parked there, and a beautiful and familiar figure stood at the door. That noble and cool temperament and aura of keeping strangers away blocked all men who had the idea of ​​striking up a conversation ten meters away.

However, when she saw Jiang Chen, her expression suddenly melted like ice and snow, and she burst into a smile.

"You're finally back. How's it going? Did you have fun in Moscow?"

"What do you mean by playing? I have serious business, okay?" Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.

"I heard that you also went for a walk outside the border?"

"Well, that's a special situation." Jiang Chen didn't meet the sharp gaze, and laughed and blurred the matter.

Fortunately, Xia Shiyu didn't ask any questions. He hadn't figured out how to confess Natasha to her yet.

After opening the trunk for Jiang Chen, Xia Shiyu watched him put the suitcase in, then smiled and invited him into the passenger seat, leaving Aisha alone in the back seat and sitting in the driver's seat. Go on, start the car and get on the road.

Watching the ground outside the window gradually disappearing, Jiang Chen's hands involuntarily grasped the armrest next to the car door, and his facial muscles were so tight that they almost turned white.

Seeing Jiang Chen's nervous look, Xia Shiyu, who was holding the steering wheel, couldn't help but smile and skillfully entered the acceleration lane. When the car reached its maximum speed and reached the uppermost track, she reached out and turned on the automatic cruise mode, and her hands left the steering wheel.

Aisha looked around curiously. Although she had heard Jiang Chen talk about the future, this was the first time she had seen this novel vehicle with her own eyes.

"I see you're scared. After all, I got my new maglev car driver's license based on my strength, okay?" Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, waved the driver's license in her hand in a showy way, and then threw it into the storage rack under the platform.

"Your new car?"

Jiang Chen changed the topic. In fact, he was not afraid of the maglev car, just because the person sitting in the driver's seat was a female driver.

"Of course, the maglev car was only launched in the middle of this month. The model of this car is Rulka EML-A1, and EML is the abbreviation of maglev. How do you like it? Do you like it?" Xia Shiyu curled her lips and said.

"The styling is pretty good. I'll buy one another day."

The hand holding on to the car door finally let go, and Jiang Chen gave a pertinent evaluation.

In automatic cruise mode, the car's speed reached a terrifying 150 kilometers per hour. The scenery outside the window flies backwards like a shuttle. It is difficult to imagine that this is in the city center. After leaving the city, Xia Shiyu ended the automatic cruise, drove the car into the buffer lane, slowed down and slowly lowered its altitude.

The wheels touched the road lightly, and the car body sank inertly. Jiang Chen's hanging heart completely relaxed. He knew that at this moment, Rulka EML under his ass had finally returned to the ground.

"The financial report for the first quarter of 2019 is out." Xia Shiyu said casually as she skillfully switched to road driving mode.

"oh."

"Aren't you curious which department has the most beautiful financial report?" Xia Shiyu glanced at him curiously.

"Do you still need to guess? The first is Future People's Technology, and the second is Future People's Heavy Industry." Jiang Chen shrugged and said with a smile.

Since the establishment of the new Federal Reserve, he has become increasingly indifferent to the long list of astronomical figures in financial reports. Especially after the news that the Singapore dollar was used as the only settlement currency for space trade last time, US$943.1 billion was taken away from the foreign exchange market. Now, for the Future Man Group, no matter how much money is, it is just a number.

Of course, this does not mean that money is useless, but the goal he strives for is no longer just a few banknotes. The lunar colony has only started to turn a profit this year, and the rate of return is less than one-tenth of the Futureman Technology virtual reality project, but he is willing to spend endless money on the moon colonization project.

"On the contrary, Future People are first in heavy industry, and Future People are second in technology." Xia Shiyu curled her lips proudly.

"Oh? Can industry make more money than the Internet? Wait...I think I know why." A hint of interest appeared on Jiang Chen's face, but it soon turned into confusion.

After Star Ring Trade promulgated the "2019 Star Ring Trade Outer Space Resource Development Plan", it contracted nine asteroids to multiple countries for mining, which spawned a large number of foreign-funded companies to invest in Star Ring City. In the future Orders for external space stations from Renmin Heavy Industry are coming in like snowflakes.

The price of a space station is between one billion and ten billion US dollars. Although many space station customization companies have been born in Silicon Valley in the United States, Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and Singapore in Asia, neither quality nor reputation can match the future. Compared with the heavy industry of people, they can only drink the leftover soup from the heavy industry of the future.

Jiang Chen had completely forgotten about the huge profits from producing the space station. Not to mention overtaking Futureren Technology, I am afraid that in this quarter’s financial report, Futureren Heavy Industry will have to leave behind Futureren Technology, which has been the leader in performance for several years.

"By the way, there's one more thing. Someone from China is here."

"Let me guess, are you here to ask about outer space weapons?"

"You guessed wrong again," Xia Shiyu blinked. This playful gesture had a contrasting and cute feeling on her, "The ones here are the Minister of Transportation of China and the CEO of China FAW."

"Oh? Are they interested in maglev cars?" An expression of interest appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

"When they heard about the concept of maglev cars and three-dimensional highway transportation," Xia Shiyu curled her lips, "especially after they learned that maglev cars can effectively alleviate urban traffic congestion." (To be continued.) Activation New URL
