Free Web NovelChapter 2398: Chapter 2390: Transport (Second Update)
The people of Hesheng pondered repeatedly and ultimately decided not to track him—if it was a thief, they deserved to pay this amount.
Strictly speaking, He Family may not lose much money.
Calculating in terms of energy stones, the total value of all equipment is six hundred thousand tons of energy stones, but the other party prepaid one hundred eighty thousand tons, and He Family’s cost was less than three hundred thousand tons; other drugs and food purchased cost thirty thousand tons.
After all, they only lost four hundred thousand tons of energy stones, which they can afford.
They never considered tracking Feng Jun—even if he didn’t lose his temper, the difficulty level wouldn’t be ordinary.
Feng Jun left the transit planet with the goods, arrived at Xingzheng Star that night, and delivered forty-two thousand tons of energy stones and large quantities of drugs and food containers, then headed straight to the Big Planet for mining.
Over at the Big Planet, they were already eagerly awaiting him. Mountain Master Feng said he would bring ten mining equipment within ten days, why hasn’t he returned?
When Feng Jun reappeared, he brought forth forty mining machines, thirty-eight for underground use, and two for open-pit use.
He didn’t explain much, "Our two sects, two doors twenty machines, my people twenty machines, you split them evenly."
Actually, each family received nineteen underground and one open-pit machine.
Feng Jun’s people, of course, were satisfied, but Xuanhuang and Yuangang sects were not satisfied—we each need fifty machines, and you brought nineteen in total, and both of our families have open-pit mines, you only brought one, how do we allocate it?
Bear in mind, Feng Jing’s cultivators on White Pebble Beach don’t have open-pit mines yet.
No open-pit mines? Feng Jun smiled indifferently: can’t I just designate a plot for them?
As for how you allocate tools among yourselves? That’s really not my business, or maybe just... alternate days?
Feng Jun stayed on the Big Planet for two more days, helping them choose mine shafts and surface mining plots.
Actually, the energy stone reserves here reached one-fifth, so there are mines everywhere, but having someone help avoid four-fifths and point out ore veins is ultimately a good thing.
Two days later, Feng Jun vanished, and people speculated again about his whereabouts.
Everyone knows he is busy, his business expanding too much, but where he actually went, no one could say for sure.
Many believed he might have gone to the Void—after all, the harvest there was considerable, possibly more than the Insect World, though it relied on luck.
The Void requires luck, while the Insect World demands power—though luck is needed too, or you’d never encounter an Insect Race Nascent Soul.
But Feng Jun didn’t go there; he went to the Earth Realm. This time he brought back forty-two devices, but only distributed forty, including two open-pit machinery, requiring everyone to adapt and figure it out.
He brought the additional two machines directly back to Huaxia; it’s unavoidable since some sentiments simply cannot be abandoned.
These two devices can only be powered by energy blocks—or coarse grains—energy stones also work.
They don’t run on diesel or gasoline, but Feng Jun believes they still hold positive significance for Huaxia—even if excluding their power systems, other aspects remain worth learning from, don’t they?
And, can the power system truly not be improved? Feng Jun doesn’t think so.
Although he is a liberal arts student, he knows that power is only a part of mechanical equipment.
In any case, even if the power system cannot be replaced, the two machines he brought back remain precious.
Previously, he focused only on military systems, mostly bringing back military-use items to Earth, but now thinking, he could do much more—elevating Huaxia’s entire technological level, including in the civilian domain, is appropriate too, isn’t it?
Truth be told, this move was partly incidental, as he was truly too busy to allocate time for dedicated operations, so he could only help Huaxia a bit whenever convenient.
Ultimately, it was Beauty Lin hoping he’d bring energy stones back, then he happened to receive Hesheng’s commission.
He brought back plenty of energy stones, even two purification devices for energy stones, but he didn’t plan to give Beauty Lin much more, as this thing shouldn’t be stored for long; even on Earth, it’s more durable than on Tianqin Plane, but it’s still safer kept in a storage bag.
He met with Beauty Lin, saying he brought back some things again, civilian-use, along with some energy stones needing a large space, and Beauty Lin immediately suggested they could unload in the Peach Blossom Valley Air Force warehouse.
Feng Jun was a bit dumbfounded after going to the air force warehouse; all the original equipment was gone, and never mind the other stuff, even the Assault Ship with a diameter of nearly three hundred meters was missing.
He furrowed his brows, "They moved everything away? That’s strange. Are you able to dismantle an Assault Ship?"
The Assault Ship was a bit damaged, but unless there was an absolute necessity, it shouldn’t be dismantled. Yet, how could you move such a gigantic thing without dismantling it?
"How could we possibly bear to dismantle it?" Beauty Lin replied with a smile, "We got Director Mei Jin to help, and she transported it to another location. Without your help, it really wouldn’t have been easy."
Feng Jun paused, casting a suspicious glance at her, "How did you convince her?"
It’s all well and good for splendid scenery to lend a hand, he didn’t mind, since Luohua’s secrets were becoming harder to hide. But he hoped she did it willingly, and wouldn’t let Luohua lose face too much.
Beauty Lin chuckled; in fact, she was the one pushing this matter forward.
Technically, once Luohua gifted these things, they weren’t under her jurisdiction anymore—it became another system’s problem. But since it’s inconvenient to research here, after a preliminary simple observation, it had to be transferred elsewhere for detailed study.
But this stuff... was indeed too big, not to mention the Assault Ship, even the Fire Support Ship was large enough and couldn’t be disassembled. In the end, it was Beauty Lin who was sought for help—you guys managed to get it here back then, how did you do it?
Beauty Lin knew it wasn’t easy to ask Feng Jun for help; asking Cai Xin was even harder. But during her prolonged contact with Luohua, she discovered some weaknesses among its members, most notably Director Mei’s mother.
Director Mei’s mother was retired, and used to work at a state-owned factory, even held a minor management position. So Beauty Lin found someone to suggest to the factory head that there was a highly capable person among the retired workers.
The factory head actually knew Mei Jin’s status, surely wouldn’t arbitrarily make things difficult for a retired lower-level manager’s mother, though normally he didn’t check in often—everyone’s peaceful coexistence was just fine.
He didn’t pay much attention to this suggestion, but considering the occasional visits by people from women’s federation or union, and even senior staff visits when comforting retired employees, the head grew increasingly puzzled.
Later, the factory had a large receivable, but the other party refused to pay. An old employee responsible for debt collection, who had a good relationship with Director Mei’s mother, asked if she could get Mei Jin to make a call—as she was, after all, in charge.
Director Mei knew this old employee and was figuring out who to approach, then Beauty Lin directly took action.
The party owing the debt came to the factory with a check the next morning, not only settling the outstanding amounts but also paying late fees. As he left, he couldn’t help mumbling, "This is absurd, the factory has such influential people and you didn’t say sooner."
The debtor was a brazen rascal, his family had some clout, ordinary people couldn’t possibly subdue him. The factory head asked around and learned that he was talking about a retired old lady.
Then the factory head finally understood what attitude to have toward her; he didn’t believe solely Mei Jin could subdue that rascal—likely Director Mei had backing.
He tried to invite Director Mei for dinner, and Director Mei was clear, "We’re not in the same circle, and there’s no need to flatter me. Just take good care of my mother; should you encounter any trouble, you can come to me."
Teacher Mei’s words weren’t very polite, but the factory earnestly took care of their retired employees, frequently visiting to handle services like water, electricity, and gas bill payments without needing her involvement.
In truth, splendid scenery’s mother had a somewhat quirky personality, but she sensed the factory’s goodwill, and over time got along quite well with the two young employees assigned to her.
Therefore, this time, Beauty Lin directly approached her, asking for her help to transport the two warships, reassuring her that neither side would notice her involvement.
Splendid scenery usually acted quite steadily, also expressed: You need to speak to the elder; I can help, but it requires his approval.
Your Elder Feng is quite hard to meet, Beauty Lin promptly suggested, why not count it as a personal favor between us? Recently, when your mom’s co-worker was urging payment, it was me who helped handle it.
Moreover, your mom often feels lonely, I coordinated with the factory to keep an eye on her, she seems in much better spirits now, doesn’t she?
Teacher Mei finally realized that all those people surrounding her mom might also be due to this person’s efforts?
She was quite thankful to Beauty Lin but couldn’t help asking: Are you exploiting my mom to have me help you?
Beauty Lin was very upfront about it: Luohua’s reputation is immense; due to that Cancer Care Center, core members have almost all ended up on focus lists of other countries. So, we have to protect your family without letting you know, do you believe it?
Splendid scenery heard this explanation and naturally chose to believe; in fact, just convincing herself to lend a hand was indeed extremely easy.
Beauty Lin finished explaining these details and looked at Feng Jun to speak, "...We’ve done a lot for you too, reciprocity seems reasonable, right? Besides, I didn’t force her."
"I’ve done more for you," Feng Jun snorted slightly, but despite what he said, he was quite satisfied with this explanation—it was reciprocating goodwill since he had given two Body Tempering Pills to the security guards at Chaoyang. Helping in return was filial piety too.
