Chapter 178 The Steel Torrent!
Zhang Yan smiled.
That's what he liked about Nie Qingcheng.
She never asks "Is it dangerous?" or "Can it be done?"
She only asked, "Do you need me?"
"We don't need it for now."
Zhang Yan gripped the handlebars, his voice steady.
"Qin Xiao contributed 300 million, which is enough for the initial construction."
"Three hundred million?"
Nie Qingcheng pursed her lips, her tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"Is that Qin family kid really that stingy?"
"What can you do with 300 million for this kind of capital-intensive project? You can only lay the foundation and that's it."
She released one hand and pulled a black card from her coat pocket.
He stuffed it directly into Zhang Yan's hoodie pocket.
"There are a billion in here."
"I earned it on the side while doing business in Europe this time."
"Take it and spend it."
"If it's not enough, just let me know, and I'll have the finance department transfer it to you."
Zhang Yan sighed helplessly.
"Qingcheng, I'm looking for business partners, not ATMs."
"I'd like to."
Nie Qingcheng hugged him tightly again, drawing circles on his abs with her fingers.
"My money is your money."
"You have to spend it whether you want to or not."
"Otherwise, who am I supposed to spend my money on?"
A warm feeling welled up in Zhang Yan's heart.
Is this the ultimate level of being a kept man?
You don't even need to speak; the food is fed directly to your mouth.
It's still top-notch shark fin rice.
"OK."
Zhang Yan did not refuse.
"Consider it a stake in the business."
"Forget about contributing your technology as equity; from now on, you'll be in charge of the company's security."
Nie Qingcheng smiled.
He smiled like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish.
"That's more like it."
"Oh, right."
Zhang Yan changed the subject.
"In a few days, the company will be almost finished, and I'm going to Changbai Mountain."
Nie Qingcheng's body stiffened slightly.
Changbai Mountain.
The place where they fell in love.
It's also the place with the terrifying bronze serpent.
"Where are you going?"
"There's still a big one there."
Zhang Yan's voice lowered.
"Now that the company is up and running, we need something to keep things in order."
"Those few mechs alone are not enough."
"I want to bring Tengshe back."
Nie Qingcheng remained silent for a few seconds.
She remembered the giant serpent coiled on the bronze pillar, radiating an ancient aura.
And that bottomless geothermal plant.
Danger.
Absolute danger.
But she did not try to stop her.
Because she knew that once Zhang Yan made a decision, no one could change it.
and.
That was her man.
He is a man who can even control the leader of the Mohist school.
What's so special about a mere snake?
"it is good."
Nie Qingcheng said softly.
"I want to go too."
"no."
Zhang Yan refused very decisively.
"This trip is for moving things, not for sightseeing."
"The underground environment is complex, and we also need to dismantle the core. If you go there, I'll be distracted."
Nie Qingcheng pinched his waist in dissatisfaction.
"You think I'm a burden?"
"I'm afraid you'll get tired."
Zhang Yan has an extremely strong will to survive.
"Furthermore, I need you to be in charge in Jinghai."
"The arrival of this batch of equipment will definitely cause quite a stir."
"Someone needs to provide cover in the open."
"Qin Xiao is too green; he can't handle the situation."
"Only you can do it."
Nie Qingcheng felt very comfortable wearing this compliment.
She snorted.
"You know how to talk."
"Alright, then I'll wait for you in Jinghai."
"but……"
Her hands began to move restlessly downwards, and her voice became seductive.
You'll be gone for several days.
"tonight……"
"Shouldn't we pay the full amount of grain tax?"
Cheng Ying suddenly swayed.
Zhang Yan took a deep breath and steadied the car.
"Hold on tight."
"I need to speed up."
boom!
The engine roared.
The black streak of light tore through the night, hurtling toward the villa district in the city center.
There.
A "battle" more intense than any other battle awaits him.
……
three days later.
Changfeng Industrial Park.
No, it should be called "Tianji Security Base" now.
In just ten days.
This place has undergone tremendous changes.
The dilapidated wall was demolished and replaced with a five-meter-high special alloy fence.
There is a hidden surveillance camera every ten meters.
In the shadows, an infrared laser matrix designed by Zhang Yan himself was deployed.
Even a fly that flies in can be identified as male or female.
The exterior walls of the main factory building have been repainted in dark gray, giving it a low-key and solemn look.
A plain metal plaque hangs at the main entrance.
There are only two words: Heavenly Secret.
The brushstrokes are sharp and fierce, exuding a chilling aura.
A black Mercedes-Benz G-Class was parked at the entrance.
Qin Xiao jumped out of the car and excitedly opened the door.
"Brother Yan, sister-in-law, please!"
Zhang Yan got out of the car.
He changed into a black work uniform today, which made him look even more capable.
Nie Qingcheng took his arm.
She wasn't wearing a dress today, but rather a white fitted suit and high heels.
Her aura was fully unleashed.
Although she doesn't handle specific matters, as the woman behind Zhang Yan, she's here today to "inspect" her own business.
"good."
Nie Qingcheng looked around and nodded slightly.
"It's starting to look promising."
"That's right!"
Qin Xiao patted his chest triumphantly.
"I watched them work through the night to get this done."
"Sister-in-law, you have no idea, the security system just for this main gate cost five million!"
"Alright, stop bragging."
Zhang Yan interrupted him.
"Lead the way to the underground."
"Okay!"
Qin Xiao eagerly led the way.
The group walked through the main factory building and arrived at a huge freight elevator.
It requires verification of iris, fingerprint, and voiceprint triple passwords.
Click.
The heavy alloy door slowly opened.
The elevator plummeted.
A feeling of weightlessness came over me.
A few dozen seconds later, the elevator came to a stop.
The moment the door opened.
A cold, metallic scent wafted over me.
Nie Qingcheng's pupils contracted slightly.
What unfolded before her was a vast underground space.
It's as big as two football fields.
The dome is twenty meters high, and countless bright industrial spotlights illuminate the place as if it were daytime.
The floor is covered with anti-static alloy flooring.
And in the center of the space.
Three automated production lines are neatly arranged.
The robotic arm hovered silently in mid-air, awaiting instructions.
Although construction has not officially started yet.
But the oppressive feeling of that industrial behemoth was suffocating.
"This is...our base."
Qin Xiao's voice echoed in the empty hall, filled with undisguised pride.
Zhang Yan walked to the control panel.
Fingers flew across the virtual keyboard.
hum-
The lights change.
The holographic projection unfolded in mid-air.
Those were structural diagrams of the entire base, as well as several mecha models under development.
"Currently, only one production line is operational."
Zhang Yan said calmly.
"Used to produce the 'Wolf Gaze' reconnaissance robot."
"Daily production capacity is around ten units."
Nie Qingcheng looked at the complex data streams, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
She doesn't understand technology.
But she understands business.
She could see that the value contained here was enough to buy ten Qingcheng Groups.
And all this.
It was all created by the man beside her.
"What else do we need?"
Nie Qingcheng asked.
"Raw materials."
Zhang Yan turned around and looked at the empty raw material warehouse.
"Current reserves are only enough to produce one hundred Wolf Lookout units."
"We're still a long way from building something big."
His gaze deepened.
It seemed to penetrate the thick layers of rock and look towards the distant north.
"Moreover, this place is missing a real guard."
"Wolf Gaze can only scout, lacking heavy firepower for suppression."
"If we encounter a truly formidable enemy, this place will be nothing more than a tin can."
Qin Xiao scratched his head.
"Brother Yan, don't we have the 'White Tiger' and the 'Black Scorpion'?"
"That's my personal one."
Zhang Yan shook his head.
"It's not from the company."
"Heavenly secrets require their own power."
He patted the control panel.
"Get ready."
"We'll set off for Changbai Mountain early tomorrow morning."
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
"Go and bring that giant snake back?!"
"right."
A glint of light flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes.
"It slept there long enough."
"It's time to get it a new home."
"By the way."
Zhang Yan looked at Qin Xiao, a meaningful smile curving his lips.
"Let me show you what the real... Mo Family Teleportation Technique is."
Qin Xiao shuddered.
He had a premonition.
This trip to Changbai Mountain.
It will definitely refresh his understanding of the world once again.
Nie Qingcheng straightened Zhang Yan's collar.
Gentle, yet firm.
"be safe."
"I'm here at home."
Zhang Yan took her hand.
"rest assured."
"I'll be right back."
Inside the massive underground base.
The lights were cold.
The steel was cold and menacing.
But the moment their eyes met, the temperature seemed to rise a few degrees.
And in the unseen depths of darkness.
The steel torrent of the future.
It is letting out its first deep roar!
