Chapter 710: I Want to Leave a Lasting Legacy
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You know what, guys? How about we build our own tech city in the desert!”
Zhou Chao’s casual words sounded like thunder in the ears of the others.
“Boss, that sounds a bit unrealistic, don’t you think?” Xu Yu couldn’t bring herself to directly tell her boss that this idea was nothing short of a pipe dream.
“Why not? Look at what those guys in Saudi Arabia did in the desert. They built a one-of-a-kind city. Why can’t we?”
Zhou Chao’s face still bore a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances, each seeing astonishment reflected in the others’ eyes.
“Boss, you... you’re not really planning to build a tech city in the desert, are you?”
“Mm-hmm!” Zhou Chao nodded firmly.
“Even if it were possible to build such a city in the desert, the cost would be astronomical!” Xu Yu couldn’t help but try to dissuade him.
If it were anyone else suggesting this, they would be thought of as daydreaming fools!
“Don’t you believe in the capabilities of your boss?”
The shock came from its sheer mundanity.
Everyone, including Lin Wu, was left speechless. If they were to truly build a tech city in the desert, it would cost at least two to three trillion US dollars, and that was a conservative estimate!
After all, constructing high-tech buildings like those in a tech park, even if scaled up several times, would undoubtedly cost much more than regular construction.
But the rest of the group was completely drawn in by Xiao Guo’s appearance, all crowding around, especially Zhou Jilong and Lan Ling, who became Zhou Chao’s right and left-hand men, their eyes shining as they stared at Xiao Guo.
No one paid any attention to the technology for converting desert soil displayed on the desktop!
“That’s enough. I need your attention on the explanation, not on Xiao Guo!”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s command, everyone snapped out of it and quickly straightened up.
“Xiao Guo, please begin!”
With the normal instruction given, Xiao Guo started a simple explanation of the technology for converting desert soil.
As for why Xiao Guo knew about all this, it was something Zhou Chao had thought of suddenly back in Jingdu. After all, he couldn’t keep giving USB drives to his subordinates every time.
So Zhou Chao decided to store all his technology with Xiao Guo, making it convenient for him to access it anytime without worrying about loss or leaks!
After about five or six minutes, Xiao Guo finished the explanation, folding his hands in front of his chest and silently looking at everyone.
Zhou Chao could tell from Xiao Guo’s demeanor what it wanted to do.
“What are you all staring at? Didn’t you see that Teacher Xiao Guo finished speaking? Why aren’t you applauding?”
Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, everyone snapped out of it and quickly applauded. Xiao Guo then smiled and bowed to everyone.
Immediately, the screen flashed, and both Xiao Guo and the displayed information disappeared.
“What do you all think about this?” Zhou Jilong asked as he sat back on the sofa, along with the others.
As experts in scientific research, Zhou Jilong and Lan Ling naturally understood the concepts involved!
After all, China’s desertification area reached a staggering 2.61 million square kilometers, accounting for 27% of the country’s land area. If this technology could truly be realized, it would be a blessing for the whole world!
