The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Pang Xuelin smiled, not paying attention to the eyes of the two assistants, and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the hotel first."

In the next few days, Pang Xuelin stayed patiently in the hotel.

The PDC held several closed-door meetings, but never gave a clear answer.

Pang Xuelin was not in a hurry, and went to PIA to have a look from time to time.

He asked Zhang Beihai to go to PIA to serve as the liaison between the Wallfacer Office of the Staircase Project and PIA.

Originally, Pang Xuelin wanted to see if Zhang Beihai and Wade could have a chemical reaction when they met.

In the end, Zhang Beihai still looked cold and ignored Vader at all.

Wade was rather interested in the Chinese soldier sent by Pang Xuelin.

Perhaps, he smelled the same kind of breath from Zhang Beihai.

Yun Tianming has been doing relevant training for the Stepped Project. Cheng Xin visited once and told Pang Xuelin that Yun Tianming seemed to have become more withdrawn.

Pang Xuelin just smiled lightly and didn't respond.

Until a week later, the second Wallfacer Project hearing was held, and Garning informed Pang Xuelin of the PDC's final decision.

"Professor Pang, based on the principles of the Wallfacer Project, any questioning of the Wallfacers is not allowed. However, in order to ensure that the Wallfacer Project as a whole remains on track, the PDC has made the following resolution: In the next three years, the PDC can provide you with The 200 billion US dollars will be used for the construction of the Science City as you expected. The first 100 billion US dollars will arrive within a month, and the second tranche will arrive in a year. Three years later, PDC provides scientific research funding of no less than US$50 billion per year under the current exchange rate. In addition, the Ecuadorian government is willing to hand over the Galapagos Islands to your control. The total area of ​​the Galapagos Islands is more than 7,000 square kilometers, although it is low It is less than the 10,000 square kilometers you requested, but it should be enough. Of course, the sovereignty of the archipelago still belongs to the Ecuadorian government, and you have the right to appoint and remove relevant officials of the island’s administrative, legislative, and judicial institutions. That is to say, from now on From the beginning, you have become the governor of the Galapagos Islands."

After a pause, Garning continued: "Besides, since you have mobilized the largest amount of available resources within the scope of the Wallfacer Project, any proposals related to the Wallfacer Project you propose in the future will be financed by you, and the PDC will only The plan retains oversight rights and will no longer provide any financial support."

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Yes,

But I have one more request. "

"any request?"

Garning was slightly taken aback.

Pang Xuelin said: "In the future, any products produced in the Galapagos Islands will be exempted from tariffs on a global scale."

Garning opened his mouth, just about to refuse.

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "The Galapagos Islands are already equivalent to a special scientific research political entity. We can't survive on the PDC's funding. We have to build some industries of our own. Otherwise, the annual funding of 50 billion U.S. dollars will It’s not necessarily enough!”

At this time, the representative of the United States said: "Professor Pang, your request is a bit sudden, and the PDC needs to discuss it again."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Is it possible to give me an answer in a few days?"

The representative of the United States said: "It won't take a few days. You can go to the meditation room and wait for a while. We will hold a small meeting in the PDC, and we will give you an answer soon."

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "OK."

Sure enough, less than an hour later, Garning called Pang Xuelin over. The PDC agreed to Pang Xuelin's request in principle, but the specific agreement still needs to wait for Pang Xuelin to form a government agency in the Galapagos Islands before proceeding. sign.

...

"This is the Galapagos Islands!"

Cheng Xin sat on a small jet business jet, curiously looking at the star-studded islands below.

The Galapagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean 1,000 kilometers west of the South American continent. The archipelago covers an area of ​​more than 7,500 square kilometers. It consists of 13 small islands and 19 rocky reefs formed by the solidification of lava from submarine volcanoes.

The diverse climate of the archipelago and the special natural environment of the volcanic landform enable animals and plants with different living habits to grow and multiply on this land at the same time.

There are a lot of exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and monsters here, and it is called a "living museum of biological evolution".

Darwin once visited here in 1835, prompting him to put forward the famous theory of biological evolution.

The destination of Pang Xuelin and his group is Isabela Island, the largest island in the Galapagos Islands.

Isabela Island runs from north to south, nearly 100 kilometers long, and about 40 kilometers wide from east to west on average, with a total area of ​​4,600 square kilometers.

But from the southern tip of the island to the northern tip, there are five volcanoes, namely Asur Volcano, Negra Volcano, Alquido Volcano, Darwin Volcano and the northernmost Volcano Wolf.

Among them, Wolf Volcano is an active volcano, and the rest are extinct volcanoes.

The plane landed at the port of Villamir in the south of the island, where there is a small airport.

As soon as they got off the plane, everyone felt a cool sea breeze blowing over them, instead of the stuffy feeling they had imagined.

Although Isabela Island is located on the equator, due to the influence of the cold Peruvian ocean current, the sea and land temperatures of the Galapagos Islands are not high.

The average annual temperature on the island is 25 degrees Celsius.

The precipitation is not large, so it is suitable for tourism in all seasons.

In this trip to the Galapagos Islands, in addition to Pang Xuelin and his team of Wallfacers, there were also relevant designers from China Communications Construction Corporation, China National Nuclear Corporation and some well-known European architectural design institutes.

Pang Xuelin plans to build a scientific research-based port city with a total population of hundreds of thousands near the Port of Villamir. The initial infrastructure construction will naturally be handed over to China, which is known as an infrastructure madman.

The most important of the preliminary projects is the construction of infrastructure such as airports, ports, and nuclear power plants.

Among them, the nuclear power plant has a total investment of 8 billion U.S. dollars. It is planned to build and install four 1.25 million-kilowatt nuclear power units. After full completion, the total installed capacity can reach 5 million kilowatts, which is completely enough for a city to operate.

As for the airport, Pang Xuelin is going to build land by reclamation.

The volcanic structure of Isabela Island, in which the extinct volcano Mount Azul reaches an altitude of more than 1,600 meters, the terrain conditions are very suitable for the construction of an electromagnetic orbital launch system.

Therefore, the plain space under the volcano is very precious, and Pang Xuelin does not want the airport and other facilities to occupy it.

At present, the total population of Isabela Island is only more than 2,000, and most of them are engaged in tourism-based service industries, because the island has been transferred from the Ecuadorian government to the control of Pang Xuelin.

In the next few years, immigrants from all over the world will come here to build a super city imagined by Pang Xuelin.

Of course, it will take at least three years for this city to really take shape.

It will take five years for it to really work.

...

"Kanter, I will leave this place to you temporarily!"

"Professor Pang, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Pang Xuelin chose to leave after studying in Isabela Island for a whole week.

Before leaving, Pang Xuelin left Kanter on Isabela Island.

Next, China Communications Construction and other companies will enter the construction site one after another. Pang Xuelin holds 100 billion US dollars in cash, coupled with his Chinese identity, he has received strong support from the Chinese government.

Pang Xuelin needs someone to stay and be responsible for supervising the construction of this future city, which Pang Xuelin named Xinghuan City.

Kanter is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.
