Chapter 870: Coveted
(In the last chapter, I encountered a harmonious beast. Fortunately, it was released... Now I am very entangled in writing, what can and cannot be written...)
In the Philippine Sea, several warships are cruising at sea.
This is where the Japan-Philippines joint military exercise took place. Two Murasame-class destroyers, Murasame and Chunyu, broke through the peaceful ocean and sailed towards the Philippines.
The Pilar, one of the two main battleships in the Philippines, followed not far behind.
The situation is somewhat ironic.
Japan has always had the habit of naming destroyers after the weather. Murasame refers to the rain of the past, and the names of Japanese ships are still inherited. As early as World War II, when Japan invaded the Philippines, there was a warship named Murasame.
But decades later, Japan and the Philippines conducted a joint military exercise, and one of the warships participating in the joint military exercise was actually the name of the original invasion of the Philippines.
I don't know if it was on purpose or not.
With the temper of the Japanese, maybe this is intentional.
The captain of the Pilar, Kekirala, gently pulled his white glove to cover the Lazy God logo on his right hand.
In the Philippines, almost the entire navy is terrified by Yang Ji’s fear authority. They have a group with their own name called L Party. Everyone in L Party has this sign on their hands, but The first batch of people were all branded by lasers, while the people who joined later were tattooed by themselves.
This mark is like dividing people into three, six, nine, and grades by nature. Those who got the tattoo later, as if they were afraid that others would not know their identities, exposed this mark to the outside all day, but it was the earliest batch. It seems that there is a kind of aristocratic reserve, always covering his brand with white gloves.
When meeting someone who is also from the L Party, he will take off his gloves with restraint, shake hands with the other party, and let the brand on the tiger's mouth blind the other party's eyes.
Therefore, in the current Philippine Navy, if you see a person with a lower rank but walks ahead, he must be wearing white gloves.
This peculiar order was developed by themselves. If Nan Ming knew about it, he would probably explore it from the aspects of psychology and sociology. But after all, for Nan Ming, the Philippines is just a small place. There is no need to worry too much, except for the beautiful scenery of Turtle Island, there is really nothing to attract his attention, so he hasn't been to the Philippines for a long time, and he doesn't know such a political party exists.
Although Nan Ming didn't come, he now has a lot of private islands in his hands. Some of them were bought for him by others, and some of them were dedicated to him by the Party L in the Philippines.
As the Australian ambassador knows, Nanming is an island control.
It is said that Party L members have already started preparing for next year’s Philippine general election. If Party L members are elected president, the Philippines can really be said to be Nanming’s back garden. By then, let alone uninhabited islands, even some inhabited large It is estimated that the island can be vacated for Nan Ming.
It's a pity that before that, the Party L was only one of many opposition parties. Although they had an astonishing influence in the army, it was still difficult to say that they completely controlled the Philippines.
As the backbone of Philippine military officers, Kerkirala actually has several chances to be promoted, but as one of the only two main warships in the Philippines, it is very important for the L Party to master this warship, so he has been staying here .
Kekirala looked up at the sky with some worry, but also with some expectation, for she was about to see Lord Nan Ming soon.
The Silence will be docked in the Philippines for a period of time, and at this time, the Japanese sent people to participate in the Japan-Philippines military exercise, abruptly turning the previous anti-terrorism rescue of a helicopter at sea into a large-scale military exercise involving multiple warships .
Their intentions have already been revealed.
That is plotting against the Silence.
Although Kerkirala vowed in his heart that even if he sacrificed his life, even if he bit his teeth or hit his head, he must protect the Silence, but for the Philippines, which has a weak navy, the two Murasame-class ships can almost sweep them away. The power of the entire navy was gone.
What if he couldn't protect the Silence?
Even if he apologizes with death, it may be difficult to atone for his sin.
Ahead, two Japanese warships were sailing towards an active volcanic island called Didikas.
This island has just been born for only a few decades, and the top of the volcano in the center still has thick fog erupting from time to time. Some time ago, this volcano erupted again. In the south of the island, under the slender cracks, there is still flowing lava river.
But on this island, a very small pier was built. On the pier, there were more than a dozen people standing, the leader being a young man in his thirties.
And another yacht sailed from the sea and docked near the pier. A middle-aged man got off the yacht and stretched out his hand to the young man on the pier from a distance: "Mr. Hu, we meet again!"
"Mr. Chen, stay safe!" The two shook hands, and then patted the back of each other's hands lightly, looking quite affectionate.
On the one hand, both of them are Chinese. When doing business in the Philippines, they naturally need to take care of each other and hold each other together.
On the other hand, it is because both of them have the same background.
lazy god.
Although they are all on the periphery of the lazy god system, it's better than not joining, isn't it?
The Philippines is a country rich in resources but poor in energy, which is why these two people are here.
"Mr. Chen just came back from Africa?" The so-called Mr. Hu is Hu Zhuofei from Xingda Optoelectronics.
Ever since Hu Zhuofei was controlled by the authority of incitement and fear separately and fell into a state of madness, he can no longer do without the power of Nanming's authority. Only Nanming's authority can temporarily restore him to normal.
Long before Miss Abi gave up her authority to instigate, he had surrendered to Nan Ming.
With the help of Lazy God, Hu Zhuofei transferred his business to the Philippines, mainly engaged in solar energy products, and at the same time set foot in some other new energy industries.
And Mr. Liu who shook hands with Hu Zhuofei was Chen Qigao, the boss of Jinling Group.
Chen Qigao, like Qin Yafei, is the member chairman of the Lanshen Club, and has a particularly good relationship with Zhao Gaofeng, the boss of Lanshen Security.
When Chen Qigao hired Zhao Gaofeng for the first time, he came to the Philippines to mine mineral deposits on Mindanao Island in the Philippines.
The Mindanao Island in the Philippines is the territory of Christianity, and a terrorist organization is even more active. The first time Zhao Gaofeng escorted Chen Qigao to the Philippines, he was shot and almost died, and the two formed a bond. formed a deep friendship.
But hard work pays off. Chen Qigao took all the risks and almost lost his life. He finally obtained the mining rights of a mine in Mindanao, Philippines. Unfortunately, even so, he had to worry about those terrorists who lacked the spirit of contract and kidnapped Chinese workers. .
But now...
Even the terrorists in Mindanao have to give Boss Chen three points of face.
It was said earlier that the Philippines lacks energy, but the Philippines is actually very rich in resources, whether it is metal ore deposits or coal mines, they can be considered rich.
In particular, metal deposits rank among the top five in the world in terms of resource reserves.
With the support of the lazy gods, Chen Qigao took advantage of the shrinking of the global mining industry to acquire mines desperately. Although the assets in his hands seemed to have shrunk in book value, a large number of high-quality mineral deposits were owned by him.
Now Chen Qigao's Jinling Group is already one of the two most important suppliers of 3D printing raw materials for Lazy Technology. With the help of Lazy Technology, they have built a brand new 3D printing consumables factory to produce various ultra-fine materials. Metal dust, supplied to Lanshen Technology.
Some time ago, the dust workshop of Jinling Group merged with the cement factory under Lanshen Yafei to form "Lashen Jinya New Materials" company. The rise and the speed of attention are only slightly worse than that of several Internet industries.
Qin Yafei and Chen Qigao have a relatively good relationship, and the two sides are also discussing the possibility of more in-depth cooperation, and even...the possibility of merging.
If it is really merged, it can be said that it is a real strong alliance. Lazy god Yafei, or lazy god Jinya, will become a super giant integrating technologies such as mining, construction machinery, construction, and new materials. enterprise.
Chen Qigao can be said to have flourished in the Philippines, and Hu Zhuofei, with his high-quality, stable and cheap solar energy, has entered many wealthy families and large-scale units.
As long as you lay a layer of solar panels on the roof of your building, you can immediately get a stable power supply during power outages. Who would not like this kind of thing?
But Hu Zhuofei's ambitions don't stop there. Strictly speaking, Hu Zhuofei is actually quite capable, and now he is backed by the big tree of Lanshen Technology, and he is eyeing the larger power generation market.
Think about it, if the energy supply of the entire island of the Philippines can be raised to the domestic level, how big a market will it be and how much money can it earn?
And when the time comes, he, Hu Zhuofei, will become an international power giant, a power oligarch in the Philippines, whoever he wants to cut off electricity, bully whoever he wants to bully, how cool is that?
In order to achieve this goal, Hu Zhuofei has been conducting a research on special energy utilization. Therefore, in recent days, Hu Zhuofei has been spending almost all his time here. Even if there are any problems in operation, they are handed over to others.
But now, his research has been completed, and when he heard that Nan Ming was coming, he naturally wanted to report to Nan Ming.
On the destroyer Murasame, an officer of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force was holding a binoculars and looking at Chen Qigao and Hu Zhuofei who were not much bigger than the black spot in the distance.
Then his eyes turned to look at the active volcano behind the two of them. Under the high-powered telescope, he could vaguely see some equipment in operation at the mountain pass.
Because the Philippines is located in the Pacific Rim seismic zone, it has many active volcanoes and rich geothermal resources. Except that Japan is in the northern temperate zone and the Philippines is in the tropics, strictly speaking, its geographical environment is very similar to that of Japan.
Japan is also extremely deficient in energy, especially after the Fukushima nuclear power plant was shut down, and Japan began to denuclearize. Originally, almost half of Japan's electricity demand was filled by nuclear energy, but now half of it is cut off at once, and the whole of Japan is also In the face of an extremely stressful situation, shortcomings have become the new normal.
However, Japan does not have many resources, and the efficiency and cost of thermal power generation are not ideal for them.
Therefore, Japan has been secretly researching some wonderful power generation projects.
For example, volcano power generation, lava power generation.
Using the heat in the ground and extracting it for human enjoyment, this power generation method is almost whimsical.
Until one day they heard that someone bought a volcanic island in the Philippines and secretly experimented with a volcanic power generation project on the volcanic island.
According to the information received by the Japanese, the volcanic power generation project on this island is nearly mature and can continuously provide electricity.
The news is too tempting.
For human beings, the energy at the core of the earth is almost inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
But it is not easy to use it. The geothermal and volcanic power generation projects developed by Japan are almost in the stage of paper demonstration. Even a small amount of experiments are far from being able to be used.
However, Japan has already gone the farthest in this technology, and is still far away from the stage of strength, so when it heard that Xingda Optoelectronics had developed a new technology, Japan scoffed.
Until they knew the relationship between "Xingda Optoelectronics" and the lazy gods.
If any technology is linked to Lazy Technology, then there is no need to run away, and it will definitely not be fake.
If this technology can be obtained, how meaningful will it be to Japan?
Maybe it can reproduce the miracle and madness of Japan at the end of the last century.
For the Japanese, volcanic power generation technology is like flying battleships for the United States.
Similarly, it is also the technology that limped them.
They will never know that the so-called volcanic power generation is actually just a wrong technology tree, an applicable project picked out from various materials.
For Nanming, who has nuclear fusion, they don't know how to do volcanic power generation at all, and they look down on it.
The utilization rate of volcanic power generation is not high, the structure is complex and cumbersome, maintenance is not easy, and the cost is lower than that of volcanic power generation, but the technology required and the level of skilled workers are increasing exponentially.
For all its drawbacks, rolling it out to volcanic countries is still big business.
Just like agricultural tycoons advocating the theory of fat threat, selling oats at high prices, and pharmaceutical companies advocating the theory that cholesterol is harmful, selling blood pressure drugs and cholesterol-lowering drugs all over the world, and making a lot of money, Hu Zhuofei also plans to sell volcanic power generation. all over the world.
If no one buys it, they will build their own factories to connect to the grid and sell electricity directly.
It is conceivable that this will be a huge business.
Hu Zhuofei felt that Nan Ming could be a researcher and a leader, but he was definitely not suitable for mundane affairs, let alone business.
With such good technology, it is a joke that he is not the richest man in the world until now!
If it were him, sooner or later he would dominate the energy market.
Moreover, one day he will treat the earth as a big boiler and create a super-large volcanic generator.
And the Japanese warships rushing over now are the ones who were limped by the fool.
"These two warships are not right. Are they coming directly at us?" Hu Zhuofei was full of ambition when he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was wrong.
Two landing craft were lowered, with a lot of soldiers sitting on them, heading towards Didikas Island.
And two helicopters also flew from the sky.
It was aggressive and gave Hu Zhuofei a very bad feeling.
"Inform them that this is a private sea area, please don't approach it, or you will bear the consequences!" Hu Zhuofei said to a staff member behind him. (To be continued.)
