Chapter 286 - 265: Cross-Dimensional Industry

After negotiations, Lille made such a judgment:

There is a 99% chance Wakanda lacks Vibranium, at least not enough to support their large-scale use, nor has it brought them exaggerated technological development.

Before the colonizers discovered this land, generations of kings protected this fertile land, leading almost a utopian life—

Until a colonizer happened to come here.

Regardless, according to the myriad of information Lille had gathered, the history of this Wakanda seemed quite coherent, despite having periods of isolationism which were broken by the arrival of colonizers.

Here, they didn’t fight primitive wars with the most advanced technology; on the contrary, because the land was so fertile, they developed a quite harmonious primitive society, but they were still lagging in technology.

Of course, they still had learned to use AK47s by the modern era.

According to T’Chaka, over 70% of wars in Africa occurred in this fertile region of Central Africa, and if it weren’t for their use of surplus food to unite nearby African countries...

They would probably have been subverted by those evil agricultural companies long ago.

Aside from having enough to eat, Wakanda struggles with everything else. T’Chaka really wants to change the situation, but unfortunately, he just can’t manage it, and there’s even hardly any enterprise willing to help them.

After all, although famines are not uncommon around the world, the rich places do not lack food.

High-tech companies disregard them; agricultural giants keep a tight watch on them. These are the problems they face.

As soon as Lille heard these descriptions, he decided to start operations in Wakanda—

Land unnaturally fertile, isn’t that just the place for Chune 2 wheat?!

No Vibranium, no problem; as long as he can get Chune 2 wheat, combined with this fertile land, that’s almost like having half the characteristics of Vibranium!

Of course, why things are the way they are, it deepened Lille’s suspicions still:

This world seems full of mysteries.

But for now, better focus on the operations within Mei Country.

Two days later.

Martin pushed open the company’s production line door, bringing Lille some good news:

"Big news! With the first batch of Artificial Blood entering the market, the market value of the international genetic cooperation company has already exceeded 50 billion US Dollars, and it’s skyrocketing by the minute!

The market entry certificates of the UK, France, Germany... have all been approved. I must say, my friend, you are really far-sighted—

Others thought you were just starting your business, and you had already planned the international market strategy, and even negotiated it!

From now on, we are theoretically a multinational company!"

billion US Dollars, to be honest, isn’t that high-not for Lille’s subsidiary companies.

But Lille has released less than 10% of the company’s shares in the market, which is a very small part and greatly affects the valuation.

Moreover, the current state of the stock exchange is somewhat...mysterious.

A lot of capital can’t enter the market.

Even letting go of less than 10% of the circulating shares, Lille still believes the ultimate company valuation could easily surpass the threshold of 100 billion US Dollars.

On the other hand, due to global network fluctuations, while the ctOS system has been largely intact, a large number of network infrastructure orders have subsequently followed.

Bloom Company will also soon welcome a period of rapid development.

By now, counting the money on hand isn’t much of a big deal...

As long as Lille doesn’t suddenly lose his sense, the company’s money won’t run out.

However...since there’s money, of course, it’s time to start new operations.

Moving between two worlds, Lille has many ideas he wants to realize.

Better yet...the system has unlocked new projects.

Lille looked through the glass at the workers on the production line.

These plasma production workers just completed their tasks, and next to them were completely sealed production partitions.

The partitions separated by tempered glass allowed one to see the robotic arms performing the previous or next step in the process like humans.

And these robotic arms...were actually operated by workers from the Cyberpunk World, similarly, workers from the Marvel World also used experimental exoskeleton devices for synchronized production processes.

The company also plans to hire more disabled workers, fitting them with prosthetics using brain-machine interface technology for more precise production.

[Technology Innovation: Cross-dimensional Industry]

[Description: You have successfully realized synchronized production between two worlds.]

[Reward Technology Points: 5000]

[Current Technology Points: 7000]

[Unlock New Feature: Quantum Resonance]

[Description: With the scale of cross-dimensional production increasing, the system degradation produced in your production will gradually decrease, and your equipment is more likely to reach its theoretical lifespan; yield, efficiency, and other production capacity indicators will approach theoretical values]

[Please work to expand the scale of production; it will always be useful.]

The system seemed very encouraging of him carrying out cross-dimensional industrial production.

Lille looked at Martin and, wrapping an arm around him, walked off to the side: "This is just the start."

Martin laughed: "It seems that ever since I started working with you, every time there is good news, you always say this is just the start."

Lille shrugged his shoulders, "Of course it’s just the beginning. I was thinking we could develop some more advanced civilian machinery, such as consumer goods like cars."

"Cars?"

"Flying cars in the air, sounds good, doesn’t it? Adrian is a master of engines, and this project is very promising..."

[Unstable Energy about to explode]

[Countdown: 48 hours]

...

United Nations building.

Hydra no longer used online meetings.

As Dr. Zola went offline, they grew suspicious of the network, and the leaders in Europe flew overnight to New York.

"Dr. Zola has rebooted, but the problem is... his condition is very odd now."

"Ah... we need to get Dr. Zola back to normal, but he himself is now doubtful of the network, and he suggests we completely abandon mechanical means and invest resources in the Super Soldier project."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat awkward.

Dr. Zola was their highest invention in information technology, and now he had been directly phased by the opponent twice.

"I have a question, if Dr. Zola also can’t guarantee our advantage in information, what use is he to us?"

"Are you an idiot? Dr. Zola made it very clear, we physically take out that kid, and the cyber world is still ours."

"So, we’re now going to increase our effort in the Super Soldier project."

"Yes, increase the related investment."

"Can’t we just take out that kid directly?"

"Good question, but we don’t have a surefire way to succeed, and with every failure, our chances become more bleak."

"We need to ensure a one-hit kill."

One-hit kill.

However, when this was mentioned, everyone superficially showed no reaction, but they were all somewhat scornful inside.

Hadn’t they always been aiming for a one-hit kill in these past few attempts?

And the results?

"Alright, let’s talk about increasing our investment..."

"Investments? We’re out of money! All our banks have collapsed! We’re still trying to fix the data!"

The Hydra leader called the banker, his hair lacking luster and a mess, was red-faced as he spoke.

Indeed, this network turbulence had hit him the hardest.

The sonar released by Lille was specifically against Hydra’s signals, obviously causing more damage where Hydra’s network was most dense.

Places like New York that had already used the ctOS in their streets, even if located at the epicenter of the bomb, were just overloaded for a few seconds.

Other monitored institutions also suffered some attacks, but... the losses were not comparable at all!

In Europe, those assets belonging to Hydra, especially the banks—they liked monitoring their wealthy clients too much!

The result was that their services were completely paralyzed! And the more valuable the servers, the greater the loss!

Now they were out of money for anything!

Hydra was actually out of money!

In the main seat of the meeting, Alexander Pierce also felt a headache: after helping the organization embezzle so much over the years, a single network failure had now sent them back to square one.

"What about the investors?"

"The investor is very unhappy with us, he plans to pull out his investments."

"Pulling out? We can’t let him pull out, make some concessions to him."

"Yes, yes, make some concessions."

The meeting reached this point, and although the Hydra leaders were grim-faced, they could feel a slight drop in morale.

But, plagued by an inexplicable cyber attack, who could guarantee high spirits?

After a brief silence, Pierce spoke.

"Then now, we shift all resources into Dr. Bruce Banner’s Super Soldier project."

No one objected.

Someone even raised a hand:

"I suggest, not only increasing the investment but also urging the other side to expedite the process, the longer it drags on... the more troublesome that kid becomes."

Indeed.

This was why they decided not to give up on Dr. Zola.

Because Dr. Zola, early on when no one was paying attention to Lille, had proposed eliminating him.

Unfortunately... such a pity.
