Chapter 1420

A-Mao yawned and lay high on the living room cabinet, watching A-Gou, who was being tortured by the two little ones below.

A-Gou had an expression of 'a dog's life is so hard'. It lay there, letting the two little ancestors climb all over it. Occasionally, when it was grabbed painfully, it would turn its head and bare its teeth, and the little ancestors would know it was in pain.

Tired, just destroy everything...

On the boss's desk next to the living room, Wang Yan was clattering away on his computer. On the display screen was a satellite map.

Wang Yan manipulated the satellite map to zoom in, and he saw the construction site below, saw the dense machinery and countless workers, and saw the several bustling markets that had formed around the construction site. It was clearly the Long Teng headquarters' large construction site in Suizhong.

Zooming in further, Wang Yan could clearly see individual human faces. On a low hill with a good view, there was another large crowd of people, with long guns and short cannons set up there, aimed at the construction site below.

This was a very good viewing spot. Besides a group of people who didn't have work and had come to livestream the Long Teng construction, there were a large number of tourists who had come for the reputation.

Because this place was located in the west and faced east, below the mountain was the continuous construction site, and to the east was the Bohai Bay. In the morning, this place was even more congested, as everyone came here to watch the sunrise, and it had become an internet-famous check-in spot.

The fights that happened here were because of people competing for spots. Besides fights, there were always some safety accidents, such as people stepping into the air and falling into ditches. Coupled with the large number of people and cars coming here, this was also a key area for security police, traffic police, and fire patrols.

In fact, when Wang Yan took his wife and children to inspect the construction site, they had also come here. The road here had already been paved, and a viewing platform had been built.

The construction cost of two trillion was too terrifying. The people at the design institute racked their brains to spend the money. To put it this way, every place with a bit of scenery in the surrounding area had been renovated. No matter how difficult it was to walk, there were asphalt roads. And often, in order to make it look better and to take care of more villages, they went out of their way to build roads, spending quite a bit more money.

Of course, every cent spent extra was not wasted. The purchased materials, the construction workers, the transit and transportation links, etc., all made money from top to bottom.

The super project here at Long Teng was a super engine; every time it pumped, it meant the growth of money for countless people...

He operated it again, and the satellite map flickered and changed, so the people in the image began to move. It was like a flash; one moment the crowd was congested here, and the next moment they were congested over there.

This was the satellite image from the newly launched multi-functional Long satellite. The precision was very high, and it was in a fixed orbit, always above Suizhong.

Its use lay in aerospace research, meteorology, geography, and most crucially, communication. It adopted Long Teng's self-developed communication technology, which would be mounted on cars in the future to realize fully intelligent automatic driving with the help of satellites. Using satellites, it would coordinate and guide the traffic flow within the city.

One satellite was of course not enough; two more would be launched later to form a satellite network. At the same time, it was necessary to solve the problem of cloud cover, which ultimately still had to rely on cameras spread all over the place to supplement...

Overall, this satellite launch was quite successful. Various functional tests were qualified and were all within the planning before going to space.

And at the same time, the popularity of Long Teng's satellite launch of course became a hit all over the internet once again.

Launching a satellite was actually not a big deal; the real big deal was that the 'stars and the sea' that the whole internet had once mocked was not bragging—Long Teng was really investing a large amount of capital.

According to news reports, in the past year, Long Teng's R&D expenditure reached a crazy 250 billion red notes, ranking first in the country and fourth in the world.

And Long Teng's debt reached an even crazier 1.3 trillion, frantically pulling in debt.

At the same time, Long Teng announced the subsequent launch plan. Besides five satellites with various functions, the satellite launch mission at the end of the year would adopt a self-developed propulsion rocket.

They were still selling furniture over here, and the rocket was already in the sky over there.

At the same time, Long Teng announced a longer-term aerospace development plan, stating that it would implement manned spaceflight, launch relay satellites, and conduct lunar orbit exploration next year; it would initially deploy space cabins in space the year after next; it would build a space station and launch a Mars probe two years later; it would launch a spacecraft three years later; and it would conduct manned moon landings four years later.

Amidst the heated discussion and questioning from all over the world, the aerospace department held a press conference, stating that it had conducted in-depth cooperation with Long Teng in relevant fields, and Long Teng had received many experimental results from national laboratories...

This could be considered as unraveling people's doubts. After all, the national aerospace department had already achieved space stations and lunar exploration, and Long Teng absorbing the results of course greatly accelerated the speed.

So people began to debate whether it was necessary for China to have two space stations in space, and whether this was a waste of resources.

There was no need to explain this...

The actual situation was indeed so. Wang Yan received many aerospace results, but at the same time, in the process of Long Teng's own R&D, many key new results also always appeared. So it wasn't given for free, but exchanged by both sides, generally forming a situation of respective development and advancing side by side.

However, aerospace engineering was only one link in the development, and the invested capital was only a part of it. It took two years of development to launch one satellite, which was actually not fast relatively speaking, but it couldn't be considered slow either. After all, there were a lot of research results, and the propulsion speed was still very fast. Compared to other various research, the progress was faster.

The reason for this was mainly because it didn't need mass production; they were all laboratory products, and it was unnecessary to study methods for large-scale production and manufacturing. Having small-scale production lines was enough to cope, and various laboratory tests were qualified, so they could be directly put into use.

But other relevant research, a large number of them had to be put into civilian use, and laboratory products of course couldn't be taken out and used directly. It was like the artificial intelligence that Long Teng had long had; what the researchers used was the top-tier anthropomorphic intelligence, which comprehensively improved productivity in checking materials, recording data, simulation, generation, etc.

As long as research was conducted under the recording of artificial intelligence, there was rarely a need to continue doing it by hand. Every process and result would be accurately recorded, compared, and summarized, greatly improving the R&D speed and saving a lot of useless work.

But the consumption of computing power was also huge, far from reaching the level of civilian use. Or rather, it was also impossible for civilian use.

Because once this finished product was launched to the market, many clerical and logistics positions would lose their function. The work that originally took ten people could be done by one person inputting and adjusting; the operation was extremely simple, as long as one possessed a certain intelligence and could distinguish the results...

The popularity of satellite launches, R&D funds, stars and the sea, etc., always had an end. Nowadays, the speed of information was too fast, and it was difficult for any popularity to be maintained for ten days or eight days.

Events that boiled the whole internet would fade away in just a few months, with few people mentioning them again, and the results were also vague and left unsettled...

But after the satellite incident passed, another piece of news about Long Teng hit the hot search.

Long Teng moved!

After such a long time, the first phase of the Long Teng headquarters project was finally completely finished and could be put into use.

Wang Yan held his two children, stood in front of the villa by the river, and turned to Wei Lan: "Let's go, let's take a look at our new home."

Wei Lan untied A-Gou's dog leash and patted A-Mao, who was squatting on A-Gou: "Go on, we'll live here from now on, you two get familiar with the new territory."

The family and the animals entered the house first and looked around everywhere.

The interior decoration was also something Wang Yan had personally participated in designing while he was busy. Overall, it still followed his consistent principle of simplicity and cleanliness. There weren't that many colors in the room, and it was still dominated by white, making it look brighter and more spacious, with dark red solid wood floors laid on the ground.

This of course couldn't reflect any sense of design; the main point was the change in the layout, which wasn't a rigid hall or room, but rather emphasized various perspectives and convenience for life.

Overall, it was a villa with three floors above ground and two floors underground. It wasn't straight up and down, but staggered to create more space, a wider field of view, several more terraces, and shaded areas formed by the building itself.

The furniture inside had already been made, and most of it was solid wood furniture. Besides being expensive, it had no shortcomings.

After walking around upstairs and downstairs simply, Wei Lan directed the people who had followed them to put away the things they had brought. After being married for a long time and having two children, they had unknowingly accumulated a lot of belongings.

Wei Lan packed the clothes herself. The new cat climbing frame and dog kennel were supervised by A-Mao and A-Gou themselves, while the desktop computer for working at home was assembled by employees in the study on the second floor.

Several rooms on the second floor were opened up, and together with the living room, they became a large study. The solid wood bookshelves were already piled with various books, all of which were sets of books bought by the assistant, such as the Twenty-Four Histories, encyclopedias, and various red readings, etc. The variety was still quite complete.

From now on, when working from home, Wang Yan would mostly be here.

Relatively speaking, Wei Lan was more flexible. She only needed to look at data, which was all text work, so the requirements weren't that high. With a laptop, she could work anywhere.

Synchronized with work, naturally, was looking after the children. So a large pile of the two children's toys was also piled here, letting the two little ancestors crawl all over the floor and cause trouble everywhere.

Of course, Wang Yan's computer was protected; otherwise, they would really pull out all kinds of connection cables. A-Mao and A-Gou had been trained by Wang Yan not to cause destruction, but the children couldn't be controlled.

After being busy for a while, all kinds of things were finally put in place, and the time had come to the afternoon.

"Shall we go out for a walk?" Wei Lan leaned behind Wang Yan, her arms wrapped around Wang Yan's neck.

"Okay." Wang Yan stopped his movements and locked the computer screen. "It's just right to take a look at how things are here. Besides, let's buy some vegetables and have a good meal tonight; it can be considered a housewarming."

"Then I'll ask the nanny to come up and look after the children." Wei Lan said and turned to leave, going downstairs to find the nanny.

The house was too big; without a nanny, it definitely wouldn't work. So the previous two nannies were retained and brought along. When Wang Yan was busy, they helped look after the children and cleaned the house. On weekdays, they lived in the villa of Wang Yan's parents next door, which was very convenient.

After the nanny came up to look after the two children who were sleeping, Wang Yan and Wei Lan went downstairs to the garage.

"So many cars?" Wei Lan looked at the cars in the garage and expressed surprise.

"Didn't I ask you what car you wanted to drive before? You said you hadn't driven a supercar and wanted to try it, so I had someone buy a relatively classic Ferrari, which is also a convertible, so you can experience both."

"Ah, I didn't take it seriously; I thought you wanted to change cars."

"It doesn't matter what I drive." Wang Yan shook his head.

"Then what about these? What's going on?"

"They're for us to drive. This BMW is from when we got married, this Mercedes V-Class was bought recently to take the children out to play, this A8 is what I want to drive, and this national gift car was given to me as a facade."

Wang Yan opened the cabinet at the door, took out a key, and threw it to Wei Lan: "Let's drive the Ferrari today; you have a good time."

"Okay." Wei Lan was also a little happy, immediately took the key, and opened the car door.

Wang Yan followed into the passenger seat, lowered the roof, taught Wei Lan how to start the car and shift gears, and in no time, the red Ferrari sports car slowly drove out of the garage.

What could be seen outside were all people busy moving and settling in, and it had already become bustling.

After leaving the residential area and coming outside, there were already various shops that had been recruited in advance. Fruit and vegetable shops, supermarkets, snacks, restaurants, baths, massages, pet shops, clinics, etc.

These shops, some were entered by chain brands, some like clinics were opened by Long Teng itself, some were invested in by employees' families, and some were opened by locals after passing the assessment.

Overall, the basic living configuration had already been met.

There were also many cars coming and going on the street, and it was already very bustling.

Wei Lan drove the car slowly on the road, while Wang Yan observed everything and listened to all directions, occasionally reminding Wei Lan that she had deviated from the correct direction.

Very quickly, the car drove two kilometers to the company's office area. The places invested in earlier had all been renovated, and in the antique buildings, employees were coming in and out, busy moving and arranging various things.

Moving was done in batches, and personnel were also in order; this was just the first batch. The entire moving process would last for a long time. This move alone would take about a month.

Afterward, as various buildings were completed one after another, the relocation would continue, as well as the corresponding recruitment of new people.

After seeing the company and encouraging the employees, Wei Lan drove the small sports car, carrying Wang Yan to other places.

They passed by the open hotel and part of the staff dormitory, and most importantly, the hospital. Currently, several buildings had been completed and put into use earlier. Doctors who had been poached and scattered at the city and county levels had also moved in, providing necessary medical security and emergency rescue.

The clinics spread all over the place were responsible for short-distance emergency rescue tasks, maximizing the protection of life safety.

Actually, there was nothing to praise, because the construction hadn't been completed yet, various functional buildings hadn't been put into use, and there weren't that many employees yet, so it didn't seem bustling.

What was worth mentioning was that many people who were not employees appeared on the street. Some people were wandering around the street with mobile phones, livestreaming the departments that had been put into use earlier, pointing fingers at various trucks.

Others were holding long guns and short cannons, filming everywhere, interviewing Long Teng employees everywhere, which was clearly another traffic event.

Just amidst these various busy moving affairs, news of the 'living daddy' arrived once again unexpectedly.

"'My Chief and My Regiment' Zhang Milong: Going Home!"
