Interstellar Energy Tycoon

Two large factories covering an area of ​​100 mu were rented out smoothly.

It's not very far from the superconducting material factory, just two or three minutes' drive away.

Then the next half month.

Hire an engineering team to renovate the factory building.

Procurement of equipment and raw materials.

Recruit R\u0026D talents.

Among them, the chief technical engineer of the photovoltaic material factory is Duan Weirong. He is 46 years old this year. He has 20 years of work experience in the field of photovoltaic material research and is also a talent cultivated locally. The magic of this middle-aged man is his During the period when the domestic photovoltaic industry was booming and prosperous, he became a billionaire by relying on the shares rewarded by the company, but now he is an old man with several million debts. He just wants to find a job, pay off his debts, and save his wife and daughter .

"How did you end up in this state?" Li Xingyang was very puzzled.

"I used to be poor and afraid, but when I got rich, I drifted away. I couldn't stand the temptation. Then when the stock plummeted, I was beaten back to my original shape." Duan Weirong smiled wryly.

"As an old man, can you find a suitable job now?"

"I can't find it, so I can only try my luck while delivering food and submitting resumes."

"Can you impress me with one sentence, let me make a decision to hire you, and prove that you are worthy of a million annual salary." Li Xingyang said.

"I've lost everything, as long as you give me a chance, I can be an obedient dog! I'm willing to sign the most stringent technical confidentiality agreement. I also know that you are a young man capable of great things." Duan Weirong said with red eyes.

"Okay, you are also a smart person, I will give you this chance."

Li Xingyang took a deep look at him.

The chief technical engineer of the reflective material factory, after interviewing more than a dozen people, he selected a 38-year-old middle-aged woman named Nan Yibing.

As a typical engineering girl, Nan Yibing is plain-looking, wears thick myopia glasses, wears simple work clothes, and doesn't use any cosmetics, but she is very good in her professional field, and she is a top student that cannot be underestimated.

Most importantly, during the interview, Li Xingyang learned that the interviewee was actually the granddaughter of Mr. Nan, an expert in space observation, and a descendant of that very respectable scientist.

"You are Nan Lao's granddaughter, why didn't you work in a national research institution, but came to me for an interview instead?" Li Xingyang couldn't help asking.

"I have been working in the research institute for more than ten years, and I have seen too many unhealthy atmospheres, so I want to come out for a breath of air." Nan Yibing said.

"Why don't you consider going abroad to see?"

"I'm not interested in being discriminated against, not to mention that there are many opportunities in China now."

"Then stay with me and work here. The reflective material factory is fully in charge of you. I won't interfere too much. The annual salary is one million for the time being, and it will definitely increase next year." Li Xingyang sent out an invitation sincerely.

"Okay, I'll try to work here for a while. If it suits me, I'll keep working. If it doesn't suit me, I'll change jobs."

Nan Yibing nodded. Li Xingyang had no choice but to smile wryly at this calm appearance, but this is also the arrogance of talent, as long as he can do a good job, a little personality and arrogance are fine, he can tolerate it.

That's where the leadership comes in.

Then there is the crazy spending.

The price of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions to tens of millions of devices are all ordered in full without blinking an eye. I hope the manufacturer can deliver the goods as soon as possible.

All kinds of raw materials, finished products and semi-finished materials have also been purchased a lot.

until November 16.

When the procurement is substantially completed.

Li Xingyang was surprised to find that he had spent a total of 3.58 billion. If it hadn't been for another 850 million in the past half a month, the balance of funds in the account would have dropped below 1 billion for the first time, which would lead to insufficient funds and insufficient funds. Feel safe.

burn money.

It can only be said that it is too expensive.

But it has to spend so much money. The research and development in the high-tech field is such a high threshold. Fortunately, Li Xingyang is not targeting products such as chips. Otherwise, an advanced process factory will invest at least 30 billion or more. The lithography machine costs hundreds of millions, and only large institutions and large capitals can afford it. Moreover, over the past two years, chip production capacity is generally at the price of cabbage, and it is difficult to achieve profitability. It can be seen that high technology does not necessarily mean huge profits. Losses every year.

So for those who are engaged in chips, research and development of lithography machines, supercomputers, and those who study high-performance aero engines, these high-end technological products can prove that you have strong research and development capabilities, but Li Xingyang does not want to enter these fields to join in the fun , his goal is always only one——

energy!

Do everything possible to control and utilize energy, and become the master of energy.

As long as this goal is achieved, you can get everything you want directly or indirectly through energy.

Li Xingyang is very confident in this, including those high-end and top-notch technologies, who will obediently serve themselves, and even bow their heads and bow their heads. They will not have any arrogance.

It's a little too far.

Going back to the current situation, the operation of the three material factories means that a lot of money will be consumed every day, and it will not bring benefits for the time being.

Although the number of active players in the game "Galaxy: Energy Tycoon" has recently exceeded 10 million, with the emergence of various game strategies, fewer players spend tens of thousands in the game. Cloud hosting is opened for 99 yuan/month The number of services has increased, and some players have discovered that as long as the game develops slowly in the early stage, and then mines frantically, and sell electricity to the civilized planet early, the interests of the energy giants will not be damaged. No targeted actions will be taken against players.

Players continue to develop in such a wretched way. It only takes about one and a half months to establish an unshakable lead and occupy all the core tracks. Even if the energy giants take action, it will be too late, and their market share will be eroded sooner or later. .

Game clearance is a matter of time.

The money that players need to pay is just to open the cloud server hosting service for two months. The total cost is 198 yuan, and there is no need to spend any more money.

Since it will indeed consume cloud server resources, it will bring a certain cost to Li Xingyang. For the 198 yuan, he can earn up to 100 yuan.

If the vast majority of players operate like this, even if there are tens of millions of active players, Li Xingyang will not make much money.

The subsequent income will only become less and less, or even close to none.

what to do?

Of course, Li Xingyang had back-up plans for this.

He looked at the background game statistics: Among the tens of millions of active players, there are already 13,365 players who have achieved the achievement of "monopolizing the sun" through a large amount of krypton gold, becoming the energy source that occupies 99% of the energy market tycoon.

It means that these players have already cleared the game and need to give them a bigger stage to show off.

"You can activate the Star Wars module and start the online PK mode. If you win, you will get everything, if you lose, you will lose everything, and you will be exiled. After two or three months of hard work, the results of the game, and so much time and effort, should be worth it for the players. Put your money into defending it?"

Li Xingyang thought to himself, immediately spent money to rent more cloud service computing power, and then started the online PK mode only for players who have cleared the level.

...

17th, morning.

Tens of millions of fans uploaded to Lao Tudou's live broadcast room.

It has been more than two months, and Zhang Xiangfeng is still playing the game "Galaxy: Energy Tycoon", live broadcasting at least four hours a day, and he is really addicted.

Now in the game, his energy empire has taken shape. It not only occupies 99% of the electricity market on the civilized planet, but also extends a large number of energy main roads to the Coboy belt, so that it can easily mine giant gaseous planets and The resources on its satellites have developed much faster.

Just at this time.

The game suddenly pops up a prompt:

Congratulations to the players for clearing the game. In order to enhance the fun of the game, the Star Wars module has been activated, and the networking mode is turned on. Players can PK each other to decide the winner. I wish the players a happy game!

"Oh, the networking mode is turned on, I can take Starfleet to other players' homes, and beat them up!"

Zhang Xiangfeng became excited. He has been quietly farming for two months. Isn't this the moment he's been waiting for? The resources at home are full of grains and warehouses, and if they are not used for explosive warfare, what fun is there?

Enter the interstellar war module, use the resources at hand, first build the space dock, then build the interstellar warship, and constantly upgrade the technology to build a larger and more advanced warship - of course, you can also buy it in the "war mall", such as 1 Level 1 warship is 1 yuan/ship, level 2 warship is 3 yuan/ship, level 3 warship is 10 yuan/ship, level 4 warship is 30 yuan/ship, and the most powerful level 5 warship is 100 yuan/ship.

"Damn, I knew that this game was just trying to cheat my money! But I won't be fooled. I would rather do slow scientific research than spend money to buy warships directly."

Zhang Xiangfeng complained.

So it took him half a day to build 20 Tier 1 battleships in the game, which could form a small fleet.

"Blade, I want to attack other players immediately, can I go now?" Zhang Xiangfeng asked.

"Of course, choose the closest target and launch an expedition. After about 60 days, the fleet will arrive. However, the probability of being wiped out is very high. After 60 days, players of the same level as you will have built a stronger fleet. It's gone." Bumblebee said.

"60 days? Why does it take such a long time, how can I fight this?"

"Because this corresponds to the situation in reality. If ordinary nuclear fusion power is used to cross the stars, even if it is accelerated to 1% of the speed of light, it will take three to four hundred years to reach it. The acceleration in the game is already It has a thousand-fold effect."

"Then is there a way to shorten the voyage time, use a curvature engine or wormhole technology, so that my fleet can fight through it in an instant?" Zhang Xiangfeng asked.

"No, but you can buy a star ring accelerator, which can shorten the fleet's voyage time to 3 days, and the price is not expensive at 100 yuan, but the disadvantage is that the process of launching a beam of light at the opponent will make the opponent discover your invasion action, leading to a loss of suddenness of action."

Madara introduced.

In War Mall, Zhang Xiangfeng saw that the so-called star ring accelerator is a long pipe ring device shaped like a trumpet. The inner wall is full of reflective mirrors. Then shoot the beam straight out.

Like a super laser!

The principle of acceleration is to use this high-energy light beam to supply energy to the large transport mothership, driving the mothership to continuously accelerate and decelerate, and all the interstellar warships are placed in the mothership. After arriving at the destination, the warships are released and launched. attack.

"This design is quite ingenious. The beam of light is used to chase the tail of the mothership to supply energy. The mothership itself does not need an energy system, and it can accelerate to a very fast level."

Zhang Xiangfeng couldn't help sighing, there are too many whimsical ideas in this game, the energy emitted by the stars has been utilized to the extreme, and even used as an energy source to drive the fleet's expedition.

"Beep! Beep!"

"Alarm, alert!"

"Player Old Tudou, you are being illuminated by beams of light from nearby players. The enemy fleet is expected to arrive in three days. Please prepare for war!"

At this time, the sound of the alarm sounded, and Madara reminded her.

Zhang Xiangfeng was taken aback for a moment, and dragged the viewing angle with the mouse. Sure enough, he found that a nearby star was shining brightly, which proved that the beam of light had been sent out, and was about to drive the invasion fleet to come.

Angry!

Zhang Xiangfeng was very annoyed, I didn't even run over to beat you, but someone shone a beam of light on me first, this is looking for death!
