Chapter 1395: Solar System Defense Project (Part 2)

"I admit you do have some things, you understand a lot, and your strength is also very strong, but these are not enough in front of a universal civilization.

You haven't seen the true face of this universe, and you have no concept of how strong those enemies you are about to face are, which is why you have such blind and wrong ideas.

To borrow a sentence from your book, weakness is never an obstacle to survival, arrogance is!"

Frika seemed really worried about Earth. Perhaps she wanted to fulfill her job duties very much, so she wanted to persuade Luo Quan to change her mind and accept the help of the Aia civilization.

And Luo Quan also felt very helpless about this.

What should she say? Say that at the foot of the mountain, a leader of a universal hegemon-level civilization is watching a TV series?

If she really said that, Frika would only think she had a sick brain.

Or reveal her identity as the Dawn Holy Mother?

Luo Quan felt it hadn't reached that point yet.

The level of this Starbuck civilization was only high-level, and what was coming was only a fleet, and it would likely take a long time to wait.

By comparison, Luo Quan felt the danger of the Aia fleet in Frika's mouth was even greater.

After all, they didn't actually care about the life or death of Earthlings; they just simply didn't want to see Earth become a planetary warship for the Starbuck people.

If they found it really impossible to stop the Starbuck invasion, the Aia people would very likely destroy Earth directly.

In short, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must have the heart to guard against others.

Luo Quan thanked the Aia people for their kindness in coming from afar to help, but let her solve the Starbuck people.

"I won't waste my breath with you anymore. As long as you behave yourself and don't interfere with Earth's development again, no one will come to trouble you if you surf the internet here.

But if you still secretly accelerate the technological progress of the US or other countries as before, you know what the consequences will be."

After Luo Quan issued a warning to Frika, she turned and flapped her wings to leave.

When seeing the three pairs of snow-white wings behind Luo Quan, Frika suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had discovered some key point.

After returning to the room, Luo Quan asked the System about the progress of the Mars base for the first time and checked what level her current Hype Points could accelerate the production progress of the base to.

"Host currently possesses 130 million Hype Points, which can keep the Mars base's engineering vehicles at double progress for two million years!

But if the number of work units increases, the gifted years will decrease."

"130 million?" Luo Quan frowned subconsciously, "I remember I had saved billions before and couldn't use them all up. How come there's only this little left in the blink of an eye?"

"The bulk of the Hype Points were added to attributes by Host. Otherwise, why would you possess the strength of the Divine Refining Realm now? You must know you've only practiced for less than four years in total, which is an unprecedented speed in the universe."

The System's answer made Luo Quan's arrogant attitude of holding them accountable instantly subside: "So if I start saving Hype Points now, how long will it take to save up to one billion?"

"It depends on the situation. If Host announces going to sea today, you could save up one billion Hype Points tomorrow, or even more."

Luo Quan: "..."

Perhaps noticing Luo Quan didn't speak, the somewhat scared System hurriedly added: "Of course, the System certainly doesn't recommend this method, and Host absolutely doesn't need to use this method."

"Hmm, and then?" Luo Quan nodded expressionlessly.

"The simplest and fastest method the System has said many times is to get on the hot search and news headlines. Host has reached the top of the industry in all walks of life now, so it's not difficult to achieve these.

If you announce entering some new industries with hype, you will definitely get more hype and trigger more tasks."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You like to tease all day long. I want to get angry."

Luo Quan rolled her eyes at the air, then took out her phone and called Nikolai, wanting to ask him about the company's recent R&D progress.

However, perhaps he was busy with work, so Luo Quan's call didn't go through.

After about two hours, Nikolai called back.

"Hello, General Manager Luo?"

Nikolai's voice sounded a bit tired; I don't know if he had just pulled an all-nighter.

Currently, in the whole company, Nikolai was the Chairman and Chief Engineering Officer of technological R&D.

Luo Quan was the Vice Chairman and General Manager of the company.

Nikolai was only responsible for R&D, while operations were arranged by Luo Quan.

"Nikolai, you sound very overworked. Did you not drink the oral liquid I sent you?"

Luo Quan asked with a smile.

She had known for a long time that Nikolai was a workaholic, basically only having five or six hours of rest every day, and spending the rest of the time doing scientific research.

To prevent this workaholic's body from having problems, Luo Quan specially sent him a few boxes of potions to strengthen physical fitness.

Logically speaking, after drinking those potions, he shouldn't be this tired.

"Of course I drank it. To tell you the truth, the oral liquid you sent, Miss Luo, is really too powerful. After I drink it, I only need to sleep for an hour or two every day to replenish my energy. This has greatly improved my work efficiency!"

Nikolai's answer made Luo Quan dumbfounded: "What are you thinking, Nikolai? I gave you this potion because I didn't want to see you ruin your body because of work, not for you to use it as a stimulant.

If you keep doing this, one day you will die suddenly in the laboratory!"

"Don't worry, Miss Luo Quan." Nikolai chuckled, "The R&D at the current stage has ended. I will get a full three-month vacation, enough for me to adjust my body back."

"I think it's better for this vacation to last half a year, and after half a year, your working hours cannot exceed 12 hours, and you must have sufficient rest time!"

Luo Quan ordered in a stern tone.

"Got it, I'll try my best. I'll send you the new R&D results in a while. There will be four car models to interview this year. Find a way to sell them to the whole world."

Nikolai said, yawning, and then hung up the phone.

I don't know if he continued working or went to sleep.

Luo Quan looked at her phone, not knowing what to say for a while.

Thinking about it, she decided that next time she sent the potion, she would put some sleeping pills in it and let him sleep for eight hours a day first.

Otherwise, the electric vehicle industry would soon lose a dazzling genius.

After receiving the document sent by Nikolai, Luo Quan went to look at the recent news again.

"Hmm... New energy vehicles seem to have a lot of movement recently..."

Looking at these pages of news, Luo Quan fell into thought...

In the evening, after feeding her daughter, Luo Quan turned on the live stream.

She had already finished filming today's swimwear, filming Hawaii at dusk, which had a kind of hazy beauty.

But perhaps because they couldn't appreciate her good figure, the fans' evaluation of today's photo shoot was not as good as usual.

"Then I'll go film in the morning tomorrow, filming a beach volleyball theme."

Luo Quan resolved the fans' resentment with just one sentence, and by the way, made everyone's anticipation reach the max.

Of course, tonight's theme was definitely not swimwear, but the premonition of the new car launch.

"Does everyone remember that I have the world's second-largest new energy vehicle factory under my name?" Luo Quan suddenly said this to the barrage.

"Why, did your factory go bankrupt?"

"How could it go bankrupt? Nikolai's sales have been rising steadily over the years. It's already the old 1.5 of new energy vehicles?"

"Number two is number two. What does old 1.5 mean?"

"It means Nikolai's reputation is better than the number one, just that the popularity isn't as exaggerated yet."

"I think Nikolai's popularity isn't small either, just a bit younger, so the brand power isn't as powerful as the former."

"So why did Luo Bao suddenly mention this?"

"Could it be that there's a new car to be released?"

"That would be great. I've gotten tired of driving the previous models of Nikolai. Just in time for a new one. As long as the styling is handsome, I'll buy it directly!"

"Pure newbie, how is Luo Bao's car brand?"

"Let's put it this way, among new energy vehicles in the world, this brand's technical strength is the strongest. It has cost-effectiveness where it needs it, and service where it needs it. Some car models are a bit overpriced, but I can't find any shortcomings anyway."

"Is that so? I thought you were just trying to ride the wave of popularity after seeing the new energy vehicle market booming lately."

"What kind of talk is that? When Luo Bao was the General Manager of Nikolai, domestic new energy vehicles were still ownerless land."

"What's there to chat about with this kind of water army (paid posters) leading the rhythm? Listen to what new tricks Luo Bao is going to perform this time."

The new energy vehicle cake is big and the competition is fierce. Major manufacturers have hired water armies to smear each other.

As the General Manager of Nikolai, Luo Quan is also a target of surveillance.

Usually, if she doesn't mention this car, it's fine, but if she mentions it, there will definitely be water armies leading the rhythm.

Luo Quan has long been accustomed to such commercial means. She doesn't have time to check the true identities of these water armies now, just saying to the fans: "Probably in four days, I will hold a launch event.

By then, Nikolai will release four car models of different grades. This should be the first major technological revolution for Nikolai cars in two years, and there will be many surprising places.

As for the price of the cars, I'll only say the lowest price for each model, which are 190,000, 290,000, 590,000, and 990,000 respectively.

Everyone can also understand them as economic practical type, standard type, middle-class type, and luxury type.

As for the names and specific sales, I won't spoil it for everyone here. In short, I dare say the appearance and performance are second to none in the world. Just wait patiently."

After Luo Quan finished saying this, the barrage immediately became restless:

"Luo Bao, I suspect you are targeting our Boss Lei."

"People just finished the launch of the new car selling for 220,000, and you come out with a 190,000 car. Are you sniping them?"

"It's over, Xiaomi cars are going to suffer major losses now."

"Is there a possibility that people didn't think about targeting Xiaomi at all, and it was just accidental injury?"

"Truth, don't take yourself too seriously."

This time the barrage didn't make Luo Quan confused.

Because she had crammed some recent news about new energy vehicles last night, so she had some understanding of the grudges between several brands.

The night before last, Xiaomi cars released the conscientious work "S77" researched for three years, with an initial lowest price of 220,000. It is said that the big orders have exceeded 100,000 units, breaking the Guinness World Record.

Then yesterday, many new energy vehicles including BYD, Geely, Tesla, and NIO announced price cuts, and the price cuts were generally in the range of 100,000 to 200,000.

It's obvious that several major manufacturers are going to encircle Xiaomi and strangle it in the cradle.

Of course, some netizens also said that this price cut plan was actually set long ago and had nothing to do with Xiaomi cars. Please don't search for enemies in the void.

Although subjectively these manufacturers might not be intentional, objectively the large-scale price cuts of electric vehicles did affect the sales of Xiaomi cars.

Now Nikolai, one of the leaders in electric vehicles, has announced the release of new car models, and four at once. This has to make people suspect that the electric vehicle industry is indeed targeting Xiaomi.

Facing this predicament of being chased from the front and blocked from the back, Xiaomi fans spoke passionately: "If you want to fight, I will fight. Let's see who laughs last!"

It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi actually started by making mobile phones.

In the future, Xiaomi will basically be one of the leaders in domestic mobile phones, with a very stable status.

Perhaps feeling that making mobile phones was already lonely and undefeated, Boss Lei announced his entry into the electric vehicle industry three years ago.

It is said that he invested a lot of R&D, and even dug up the R&D big shots from the big factory next door.

It sounds very much like the plot of Xiaomi mobile phones' early rise, and now it is being staged again in Xiaomi cars. Netizens called it *déjà vu*.

In short, three years later, Xiaomi cars took out a car that looked pretty good.

And then started a marketing campaign that lasted for a whole quarter.

Since the beginning of the year, news about Xiaomi cars on various platforms has not stopped.

By the few days before the launch, it was a hot search every day.

Whether this marketing method is good or not, let's not discuss it for now, but many netizens obviously don't like it.

Feeling that Xiaomi cars doing this is simply making a fuss, like doing fan circles in the car industry.

As for Luo Quan, she has no opinion on this.

People spend a lot of money to buy hot searches on Bilibili, and it's not illegal. Of course, she has no reason to refuse or mock.

As for Xiaomi's poaching, although it is indeed a bit against business ethics, it didn't dig to her head, so she doesn't need to get anxious.

Finally, she released the new car really because Nikolai just finished the results and entrusted it to her.

It really wasn't intentional to snipe Xiaomi cars.

So after reading these barrages leading the rhythm, Luo Quan said seriously: "Actually, when Nikolai gave me the new car information, I wasn't prepared at all. I only knew that domestic electric vehicles were so lively recently after I set the launch event.

So I want to emphasize one point, that is, I am not targeting anyone. How other electric vehicles fight has nothing to do with our Nikolai. We only focus on providing users with better products, that's all." ===== CHAPTER 1396 =====
