Chapter 306: Return

~17 min read 3,335 words

Because of the Body-Strengthening Pill production that increased year by year, constantly raising the expectations of the upper class, Wang Yan was very safe. Of course, safety was relative. His big name only spread in the upper class; ordinary people would not know. So the main source of trouble was that when he walked on the street with his wife and children, clowns and crazy white supremacists would jump out from time to time. Of course, they often broke their arms and legs after Wang Yan left.

All the medicinal materials for the Body-Strengthening Pill came from China. Even if he found some around the world later, most of the medicinal materials also came from China. So, it seemed natural for Wang Yan to do business with the organization.

He had cooperated with the organization long ago, but at that time, because the ports were all in the hands of little Japan, and later during the civil war, they were transferred to the hands of the bald head, some machinery and equipment could not get in, so at that time Wang Yan gave mostly data.

But after the founding of the country, these troubles were gone. He could do business openly, but because of some resistance, he couldn't sell high-end things. Wang Yan didn't mean to challenge the bottom line of the American upper class. After all, the world pattern was reshaped after the war, and America had begun to fight with the old Soviet brother. He couldn't attract attention by finding trouble for himself.

Of course, the data he sent before had a considerable effect on accelerating industrial construction. Low-end equipment was needed but not urgent; what was missing was high-end goods. On the surface, Wang Yan didn't sell any, but secretly, taking advantage of the convenience of the war for several years, his smuggling channels were really too many, basically safe.

Moreover, the price of his Body-Strengthening Pill increased every year, and his so-called costs also increased accordingly. And most of the costs were given to China in cash. This was open and aboveboard, and no one could find him. Moreover, he himself was not short of the hundreds of thousands of US dollars per month, but for China, which had just been founded and was in urgent need of post-war recovery, these millions a year were very critical.

As for the equipment he transported over, it was basically a gift; he was absolutely a good comrade.

Without good products, you can't sell them internationally to make money, you can't make money, you can't buy equipment, you can't buy equipment, you can't produce good products, and you can't make money. So the beginning was very difficult; this was a vicious cycle. Now Wang Mou was doing his best, sending equipment and data, which was very useful, absolutely accelerating the historical process.

During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wang Yan was also constantly supporting through stable channels, and buying medicinal materials normally hadn't stopped. Business should still be done. No one said anything, and even the high-level officials were tacitly protecting him. Whoever delayed their longevity would be dismissed.

Under these circumstances, Wang Yan's wealth accumulation was very terrifying, but not many people knew about it. Old Corleone knew it, after all, he had spent great energy investigating it from beginning to end, but he would definitely not say it, because he still had to hug his thigh.

For Wang Yan's foresight and means, Old Corleone was quite convinced. Especially in recent years, the Corleone family had taken a step further toward new glory, so he was even more convinced. He followed Wang Yan's operations. He controlled such great power, and Wang Yan was even more terrifying. Although he started his business early, he didn't dare to compare with Wang Yan. It was different every year, too scary.

Wang Yan's life didn't change much; he just played every day. Occasionally, he would get a few large cars, take a group of strong bodyguards out for a self-driving tour. After the children grew up and went to school, only he and Malèna were left together, which was even more comfortable. However, Malèna, who was used to the four children shrieking at home, was a bit unaccustomed, feeling that the children were grown up and feeling that she was old, sad about spring and autumn. But it was just that period, and she would be fine after a few days.

After all, after the children went to school, Malèna was not yet thirty years old, and she had a great time.

At the end of 1958, after more than ten years of research and development, and through the concerted efforts of top talents in all directions, the first generation of home integrated circuit balanced ternary computers was born. Once announced, it shocked the world. After all, computers at this time still used electronic tubes, and transistors had just been put into use. Now a computer that reached integrated circuits popped up, and it was balanced ternary. This was too outrageous.

Wang Yan didn't care about that. After years of layout, from R&D, to upstream raw materials, to production, to distribution, to front-line stores, he was the entire industrial chain. This was not domestic; he needed to take care of other people's rice bowls. Here, he could make everyone have no rice to eat. There was plenty of money, he could grab whatever he could, not used to any illness at all.

His was a set: monitors, keyboards, mice, hosts, and even printers, he had them all. At the same time, the office software and productivity software inside were all matched, which was the main thing. After all, buying a computer at this time was more for commercial office use. If it was for home use, it was also possible, but relatively speaking, the price was not low. Of course, there were many rich people, and they accepted new things quickly, so it was really making money until his hands were soft.

Of course, as a genuine Chinese, Wang Yan couldn't abandon his motherland like in history in the 80s and 90s. Besides, he was still supporting a group of people to engage in "Chaos." So when he developed it, the Chinese display had already been made, and a batch was sent directly. This thing was not a treasure, and no one said anything.

In order to let computers enter thousands of households, in order to block the road of binary, Wang Yan threw money to death at this industrial chain. At the same time, he engaged in large-scale communications, constantly increased bandwidth, and successively established game production companies, software service companies, etc., constantly improving and constantly reducing the selling price of computers, widely popularizing them in Europe and America. By the end of the 1960s, when the large-scale application period of integrated circuits was about to begin in normal history, Wang Yan could loudly say that this world was balanced ternary.

Electronic computers were completely an emerging industry, and because Wang Yan accelerated the historical process, the industry developed rapidly and vigorously, and many companies not secretly controlled by Wang Yan rose.

In any place, under any constitution, eating alone wouldn't last long. This had nothing to do with other things; it was entirely human relations, not to mention in such a free place as America. Even if Wang Yan had an umbrella built by the Body-Strengthening Pill, he couldn't resist this kind of thing.

Of course, he wasn't looking for trouble. Therefore, under the operation of major capitals, a series of electronic computer-related companies went public and played capital games. You are good, I am good, everyone is full. Of course, many people didn't know that this was him behind the scenes.

Artificial intelligence was naturally engaged in again, but because of the complexity of "Chaos," the first generation was born a few years late. Afterwards, it began to link with other industries, engaging in driverless driving, robots, etc. And there were others cooperating with game companies to develop engines, laboratories linking with neurons to study virtual reality equipment, and power mechas, etc. Anyway, it was just a preliminary exploration.

While suppressing binary, of course, he wouldn't forget the aerospace engineering he wanted to engage in.

These things he followed behind NASA. NASA's rocket went to the sky, and not long after, his rocket went to the sky. NASA launched a satellite, and his satellite went up not long after. NASA carried people, and not long after, he also carried people. NASA successfully developed the space shuttle, and not long after, he also succeeded. Still the same sentence, although the engineering projects under the national unit were rich in resources, they were not as awesome as his kind of player concentrating resources.

He had been reasonably grasping the process, until the end of the 1980s, when aerospace strength surpassed NASA.

Anti-gravity, nuclear power, etc., all began to be put up. Anyway, it was a bold attempt, because he represented the most advanced in the blue star. Of course, those were not useful in a short time, and still needed constant investment in research.

In this, he also had enough fun. At the end of the 1960s, when he was nearly sixty years old, after several previous safe manned experiments, he personally flew into space and turned a few times. Of course, this was done secretly. Except for the governments of major countries and some upper-level people who should know, no one else knew.

After he came down, the price of the Body-Strengthening Pill naturally rose. His main purpose was to have fun, and his secondary purpose was to let people see the miraculous effect of the Body-Strengthening Pill, which allowed him to withstand several Gs of overload and fly into space at the age of sixty without professional training.

The biggest scam in this world was the Body-Strengthening Pill. The only ones who knew were Wang Yan and the Chinese high-level...

Of course, he was cool, but he scared Malèna and his children to death. After so many years together, not to mention the children, he and Malèna had never been separated, let alone one on the ground and one in the sky. Of course, it was also because of Malèna. Although she was old and her physical state had obviously declined, his base was large and not comparable to others. If Malèna hadn't stopped him desperately, he would have landed on the moon in the early 1970s, but unfortunately, it didn't happen.

As for his four children, they were not bad, and they had all married and had children. With the rank of Wang Yan, the father, the ones they married were naturally according to their wishes. He didn't look down on getting some chaebol princess or something.

The eldest son was the president of a company, the second son became the mayor in San Francisco, the third son understood life and didn't do anything, learned from his father, and brought his children to play at home, and the fourth daughter was also the president like the eldest.

Regarding property inheritance, these children were quite different. Controlling this empire was impossible, so they could only enjoy happiness behind. So he established a family trust fund to ensure that future generations had no worries.

In the early 1980s, the thug leader and mafia godfather Vito Corleone, who had lived for more than twenty years, died. As for the title of Godfather, it originated from the ancient tradition of Sicily. They believed that the world was too dangerous, and a child should have two fathers to ensure the child's healthy growth and immunity to all evil. Therefore, when being baptized, they always looked for people with prestige and status to be the child's godfather. That is, Wang Yan didn't believe in religion, plus his skin color, otherwise he should also be a godfather.

After Old Corleone died, the successor was not Michael, who Old Corleone favored most and was already old, but one of the many children Santino had given birth to over the years. He was personally cultivated by Old Corleone, with Michael acting as a bodyguard.

As for the godfather under Wang Yan, Leo, who lived in fear and pleasure all his life, also completed his mission very well. The black empire after washing clean was taken over by his grandson. That was the child Wang Yan had taken to play with his children since childhood and had been silently washed. He guaranteed the loyalty of the Corleone family within two generations, which was enough. The rest, he would be gone by then, and he couldn't manage the descendants. Moreover, most of the shares of the company after washing clean were in his grasp, so there was basically no problem.

A few years after Old Corleone died, Wang Yan's father-in-law also died. Although Malèna was sad, it wasn't too much. After all, living to be over eighty was longevity, and she had enjoyed so many years of happiness in America. However, when this father-in-law died, he gave Wang Yan a sincere smile, praising him for doing well and being a good husband, a good father, and a good man. Although the relationship had eased before, this old guy really hadn't said anything and hadn't given Wang Yan a few smiles.

Over the years, because of the companies and laboratories distributed in various places, Wang Yan took Malèna to visit America, Europe, etc. Of course, they also returned to Sicily, returned to Syracuse, and returned to the seaside mansion that had been protected, never rebuilt, and was out of tune with the surrounding environment to live for a while.

The original people could no longer recognize Malèna, and perhaps they had long forgotten about Malèna. However, the boy named Renato still missed her. Renato, who was already old and had children and grandchildren, would still turn around from time to time to miss his lost youth. He saw Wang Yan and Malèna together, although he didn't understand, he didn't ask, just thinking about the past. What he liked was not the elegant, noble old lady in front of him. What he liked was the sunny morning, the country girl with a devilish figure and angelic face who gave him the most primitive impulse. What he liked had always been the beauty at that time...

By the new millennium, China had developed quite well, and Wang Yan took Malèna, who was over eighty, to play all over China. The old man took the old lady to wander around, which was quite chic.

And at this time, Wang Yan also began the process of memory. Because this time involved too many things, not to mention the "Chaos" that had developed for sixty years, just the things of the aerospace engineering were enough for him to suffer. Not to mention the new materials, fusion research, robots, etc., etc. This time because he changed the development direction of the whole world, the third information technology revolution started early, developed faster, and under the influence of a series of influences, the scientific and technological development process was raised by about fifteen years. This was a feat he accomplished with his own strength.

Moreover, he had to start early, because according to his diagnosis, Malèna's life was only more than ten years. If he didn't start, it would be too late.

Therefore, after wandering around China, Wang Yan took Malèna and started wandering around again, mainly to let Malèna see the progress of science and technology, and how great her man was, letting her know what her man had done while coaxing his wife and watching his children at home for so many years.

In 2014, New York, in the best private hospital in the United States belonging to the Longevity Laboratory, Wang Yan, with gray hair and lean, held the hand of Malèna, who was lying on the hospital bed, having lost her beautiful appearance due to the years, but still showing her youthful style, looking at her with turbid eyes.

"Wang, after I leave, don't be sad." Malèna said with difficulty, her big eyes surprisingly bright: "I have been very happy and happy in my life. Honey, I love you forever."

Wang Yan lifted the white hair on Malèna's forehead, leaned forward and kissed her gently: "I love you too, dear Ms. Malèna."

Malèna was stunned for a moment, then her mouth raised, and she laughed happily, which was the bright kind belonging to a young girl. She thought of their meeting, thought of that ordinary morning, thought of the thug who said he wanted to kill her. It was so legendary and so beautiful.

Wang Yan also smiled. He tried to make Malèna happier and happier. This was another woman who had accompanied him for a lifetime.

After Malèna laughed, she looked at the large group of people standing behind Wang Yan, who were her children and grandchildren who were also old: "You must take good care of your father. He is old, and he cannot be without someone to accompany him."

The group of people behind responded painfully, crying silently.

Not looking at the children, Malèna stretched out her hand with difficulty, stroking Wang Yan's face: "Dear Wang, we have never been separated. Now I am leaving, don't be sad, you must take good care of yourself. You must be happy, you must be happy, I will bless you."

Wang Yan held her warm hands with both hands, giving her comfort and strength: "I will be fine, Malèna, I will be very good, don't worry."

Malèna didn't speak, her bright big eyes looking at Wang Yan's face, her mouth pulled out a smile, but tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Wang Yan didn't disturb, just holding her hands, touching his face, just looking at each other like this, silently telling his love.

After a while, Malèna whispered: "Wang, I'm leaving, I love you, forever..."

After speaking, the light in her eyes with longing went out, and her warm smile still hung on her face, so bright, just like that year.

Wang Yan just held Malèna's powerless hands, looking blankly, and behind him was a group of children and grandchildren crying loudly. For a long time, Wang Yan sighed, crossed Malèna's hands on her chest, making her look like she was sleeping soundly.

Malèna left, she should be going to see the God she believed in for a lifetime, at the age of ninety-four...

Taking one last look, Wang Yan got up, hunched his body, put his hands behind his back, walked through the path made by the children, walked out of the ward slowly, and didn't look at them again.

He returned to the villa on Long Beach, sat by the sea, alone, watching the waves raised by the sea, drinking wine one sip at a time.

It is certain that he is not a thing, this is beyond doubt, but people are not grass and trees, and they always have feelings. The woman who has been with him for more than seventy years, from her youth to her death, many beautiful things in between are indeed real. Now that the person is gone, he is not feeling well.

He drank until the sun set and the slanting sun disappeared. He got up, swung his old arms and slapped himself twice, trying to use the pain of his body to divert his inner unhappiness.

He turned his head and looked at the villa whose walls had long been mottled, and looked at Malèna, who often looked at him with a smile and beautiful big eyes in the courtyard, but did not exist.

He whispered: "Never see you again, dear Ms. Malèna..."

Then he shook his head helplessly and drank the strong wine in the glass in one gulp.

Pull out the panel, operate and select...

A blue light flashed, leaving only the sigh that lingered for a long time in place...
