Chapter 2705: Chapter 2697: More Than That
Feng Jun was a bit surprised to learn that the village had been transformed like this.
Previously, he had heard his parents mention that someone volunteered to build the village, which he didn’t find surprising. He just reminded them to keep things orderly and not to install any surveillance electronic equipment, otherwise, he wouldn’t agree.
Yes, he merely mentioned it casually and didn’t think much of it later. He believed that after such a long period of integration, the other party should understand his style of conduct and the consequences of angering him—those character profiles were not drawn for nothing.
But he truly hadn’t expected such a large-scale construction. His parents probably had some inertia in their thinking and didn’t stop it.
I originally wanted to create a utopia, and you’ve built me a super base?
Feng Jun didn’t reject the idea of building such a base. These equipment and facilities can greatly enhance the sense of security, although they do not match his landscape planning for an abode of immortals. Nonetheless, he can make adjustments to the surface scenery later on.
Basically, if anything happens on Earth and he can’t return in time, his parents will have a safe place to hide temporarily.
However, those people went ahead and built this without saying a word, nor did they contact him—or perhaps didn’t manage to reach him. His parents, albeit puzzled, didn’t step forward to stop it, which could likely be interpreted as weakness.
Feng Jun was acutely aware that after the village is built, it will undoubtedly face numerous tests. His parents’ worldview had long settled, and within their own limits of tolerance, they tend not to cause trouble—essentially, they are somewhat benevolent.
Given this situation, he needed to do something: Did you ask me before making the village like this?
My parents may be easy-going, but that doesn’t mean I’m easy-going.
Yet, he wouldn’t make trouble for the constructors; instead, he contacted Beauty Lin—asking the construction team to temporarily halt work in the afternoon.
Beauty Lin was incredibly nervous, asking what had happened and what they needed to do.
Nothing really happened, and you don’t need to do anything! Feng Jun’s attitude was clear, but I hope that during the village’s construction process, you consider my parents’ opinions and suggestions more.
Regardless, he made his point without further ado, and the construction team left the site within ten minutes, even leaving some heavy equipment behind, demonstrating absolute obedience to orders.
Digging an underground tunnel, huh? Feng Jun didn’t say much and went directly underground for a walk, which took about ten minutes. The surface felt a slight tremor; once the tremors stopped, he came out again, called Beauty Lin, and then left.
Seven or eight minutes later, the "project manager" found Feng Wenhui and his wife, stating the intention to resume construction and asking if they could proceed now.
The construction team had always respected them, but such proactive inquiries were uncommon. On hearing this, Feng Wenhui was a little stunned, but Zhang Junyi stated that if conditions are mature, they can continue the construction—remember to stay safe.
To be honest, Feng Jun’s mom is much more reliable in handling matters than his dad.
As the construction personnel reached underground, they gasped in shock—a channel of seven to eight kilometers long, with a cross-sectional area exceeding one hundred square meters, and a gradient of five to six degrees, had appeared in such a short time.
This essentially reached a depth of seven to eight hundred meters underground, with a soil volume of at least seven to eight billion cubic meters.
Feng Jun achieved all this single-handedly, without any tools, and it only took him ten minutes.
Crucially, nobody saw the excavated soil and rocks; the walls of the tunnel were remarkably smooth without any signs of seepage, clearly indicating water-proofing was done—even though digging underground tunnels often encounters rock water layers.
In fact, they had imagined things a bit; Feng Jun directly deduced where water layers existed, simply by steering clear during the excavation, and reinforcing areas close to them if necessary.
The construction personnel inspected it carefully, and reported the information quickly.
Feng Jun’s actions were somewhat akin to when Qian Zhong first arrived at White Pebble Beach, directly enhancing the Earth Vein. Not only did it earn Feng Jun a favor, but it also exhibited her own prowess, after which she never encountered any trouble.
He thought this show of skill should have a similar effect—not offending anyone, while also serving as a warning.
Surely, the construction team knew he wasn’t someone to be trifled with, but just how serious he was, it was best to flex some muscle, to remind them that the rumors weren’t fake—they would naturally have more respect for his parents.
Anyway, he had already started gifting Body Tempering Pills, and the basic cultivation technique had been shared, so safeguarding the secret of this place wasn’t something for him to worry about.
In fact, the outcome was more or less as he expected. After this incident, the construction team indeed started interacting more with his parents.
Previously, it was just two young men running back and forth, but now the construction team directly dispatched a female supervisor around thirty years old. She doesn’t do anything other than introduce the project to the two elders, occasionally asking if they’re satisfied or if something needs to be changed.
Feng Jun came back this time intending to rest for an entire month, but just a week later, something happened: a factory in Jin Province that produces "health supplements" for diabetes suddenly caught fire.
A factory fire... how should I put it? Although it’s quite rare, production workshops have electric power and various processing machinery, and if safety management isn’t up to par, the risks are relatively high.
However, this factory, though it produces health supplements, is actually a pharmaceutical factory, not only state-owned but also highly valued by the government. Coupled with recent booming profits, safety regulations are implemented quite thoroughly.
The fire started burning in the middle of the night. Coincidentally, Jin Province had been experiencing little rain recently, and though the factory had good greenery, the wind was strong, making it difficult to extinguish. Then someone discovered that documents were missing from the burned records room.
The factory contains a lot of documents, with confidential information locked in a safe. However, electronic versions exist separately on a standalone computer, physically isolated from the external network, featuring a startup password of thirty-six characters and a password lock on the hard drive.
In fact, the information inside this computer isn’t in the Human Federation’s language but translated into Chinese, although this also counts as core secrets. As a result, after the fire was extinguished, although it was discovered that a short-circuit in the wires sparked the fire, someone still came to check the computer.
Then they discovered that the hard drive had been swapped—it’s not the original model, showing that the previous confidentiality agreement was done quite well, as the thief guessed the wrong model of the hard drive.
But regardless of how well the confidentiality was done, the hard drive was still lost. Considering the information inside involved certain medical knowledge and logic beyond current medical theories, quickly recovering the hard drive was necessary.
In fact, this "health supplement" hasn’t even registered a patent, so if someone steals the information and registers a patent, even the drug production line here would have to cease operations.
So Beauty Lin directly contacted Luohua, hoping to get assistance from Members of Luohua if necessary.
This isn’t the first time such an incident occurred. When the "Nanoscale Repair Fluid" was stolen abroad, Zhang Caixin had ventured out.
At first, Beauty Lin only informed Luohua, after all, nanobots are usually in a dormant state and need activation to work. Although leaking the information would expose technology and precision, cracking them without activation is extremely difficult.
Additionally, a note: after the theft occurred abroad, the relevant personnel took two days to discover the incident, missing the opportunity for recovery.
Diffusion was already inevitable, but those who commit such acts must be held accountable, or else more people will follow suit.
Beauty Lin thought she could achieve this, but the other party clearly found out the technological content of the "Nanoscale Repair Fluid" and considered possible retaliation, hence the stringent precautions, making it impossible to act in the short term.
If it can’t be done short term, then long term it is; they say revenge can wait ten years—those in this line of work have considerable patience.
However, Zhang Caixin has been keeping an eye on this matter. After waiting for two weeks and seeing no results, she became furious upon inquiry: Our boss worked hard to secure good things, and this is how you let thieves off the hook?
Anyway, she’s at the second level of transcendence, not only capable of flying but also possessing stealth methods. After acquiring the other’s documents, she ventured alone abroad and destroyed their bodies amidst heavy protection.
Probably because her retaliation was swift, there was no overseas news stating "Repair Fluid is black technology"—facing such a ruthless individual, anyone would consider the consequences of inciting such wrath.
This matter, Zhang Caixin mentioned briefly to Feng Jun, and Feng Jun also felt she did nothing wrong—one can’t stay stable without being fierce, Luohua has too many good things, and they must deter certain people’s lucky ideas.
But this fire incident shows that no matter how serious the consequences, there are still people in this world who are willing to take dangerous risks.
Beauty Lin proactively informed Luohua, similar to the last situation. In such a significant matter, partners must be notified. However, at the same time, she still hopes to rely on her own abilities to resolve the issue, only seeking Luohua’s assistance if she fails.
Because of the previous incident, she and Zhang Caixin established a fast communication channel—in reality, it’s just a pair of magnetic stone telephones. The technology is a bit old, but the ringtone is loud enough to hear even when locked in a metal cabinet, without worrying about eavesdroppers.
However, despite establishing a dedicated line, Zhang Caixin is absolutely unkind to Beauty Lin, and it seems to be more than just "same-sex repulsion." After hearing the notification, she sneered, "You plan to act first again?"
Regarding her attitude, Beauty Lin is also somewhat helpless, but there’s no choice. Ever since Feng Jun went to Mars, his attention seems uninterested in Earth anymore, and his whereabouts are unknown. Normally, when there’s a matter, she can only contact the "second person of Luohua."
So, she can only say, "Different social divisions, each with their duties... after all, we are the professionals."
"You’re the professionals?" Zhang Caixin chuckled softly, and that laughter was filled with ridicule.
Immediately, she coldly spoke, "I’ll give you only five hours; the boss rarely stays back for a few extra days, and I don’t want to affect his mood."
