    The girls became rtively speechless because of Zhang Lisheng’s spection. Soon, the mood dampened.


    At this moment, the young man began to be excited instead. Smiling, heforted them. “These are only my own conjectures. From a physics point of view, the reason the tiny crack on the dyke can rapidly increase in size is because of the water pressure. However, the World’s Gate is not bound by any physical rule. What’s more, even if we’re really unlucky and have no option but to live in the Colossal World, the Earth civilization is so developed anyway that it won’t necessarily perish. Even if the Earth civilization really perishes, we can still embrace the other world...”


    “Hey baby, Shrimp B1 Ind is only 30,000 square kilometers, which is not a ‘world’ worth embracing.”


    “Don’t be so pessimistic, Tina. I haven’t told you that I have now taken up one-third of thend on Shrimp B1 Ind. I’ve also ordered Charlie to set up the Shrimp B1 Ind Comprehensive Development Company. After a while, when the time is ripe, I intend to use the identity of a modern version of Cortes topletely upy the entire Shrimp B1 Ind by relying on the numerous big USpanies and even the strength of the US military. After upying the ind, I’ll have real capital. As long as I find out the sailing route, I believe that I’ll soon capture the second and the third ind. If this continues to go on, perhaps I can take down the entire Hellfire Archipgo and then attack the other continents of Shrimp World No. 2!” Zhang Lisheng said confidently.


    “Lisheng, you’ve already upied one-third of the ind?” The girls were surprised when they heard this. Trish even blurted out loud, “I didn’t expect you to spread this ‘pseudo religion’ of yours in such a fast speed!”


    “Thank you for yourpliment, although the word ‘pseudo religion’ kinda hurts my pride a little,” Zhang Lisheng replied with a grin. “Now it’s no longer a big problem for me to upy the entire Shrimp B1 Ind. The most troublesome problem I have right now is the sailing route to the other inds. However, I kinda have some clues about it. When a group of grey small fish form a migration tide, I can...”


    “Wait, baby! Y-You n to use the fish tide to search for the route to the other inds from Shrimp B1 Ind?”


    “Yes! This is the easiest and most practical way. There are countless marine spiritual monsters living in the Hellfire sea region and as far as I know, the reconnaissance nes and ships of the US National Army have mysteriously gone missing before. Because of this, there’s always a need for battleships to escort the route traveling between Shrimp B1 Ind and the new New York port...”


    “Baby, just how many inds can you find by relying on fish tides? Oh my God! Haven’t it crossed your mind that if the military’s reconnaissance nes and ships can’t be used, we can alwaysunch our own satellites! In space, be it the space of the Earth or the foreign world, there’s no sign of abnormal changes at all. Just like the space inside the atmosphere is an ‘X-axis’, the space outside of the atmosphere is a ‘Y-axis’! The two do not interfere with each other at all! The reason Shrimp World No. 2 doesn’t have any satellite is because the government has tilted all development budgets into Shrimp World No. 1! However, we can always use our money to build signal towers and buy satellites. In that case, as long as there’s enough money, we can get a detailed world map of Shrimp World No. 2 easily!”


    After listening to his girlfriend’s words, Zhang Lisheng’s eyes widened and became stunned. Right at this moment, Trish, who was still on the Inte, had already begun to search for information about satellites. Soon, she obtained some results. “In theory, you only need three satellites to cover a that is about the same size as the Earth. Of course, if you want to take into ount the poles as well, you can add another one and make it four in total. Theunching cost of low-orbit satellite is priced at 15,000 dor per kilogram in the official US website. A synchronous orbit satellite, on the other hand, costs 25,000 dor a kilogram. An ordinary satellite weighs about 5 tons so if we calcte based on the more expensive synchronous orbit satellite, the cost ofunching one satellite will be only 125 million dors. The price is simr to the ne you gave to Tina. One satellite is 125 million dors so four satellites will be about 600 million. Adding on to the cost of the control tform and theunching tower, you’ll probably have to doubt the cost so it’ll be around 1.2 billion dors. You should be able to bear this cost. It’s just that the preparation period will be slightly longer, it’ll need about nine months.”


    “This is a once-and-for-all method! Let alone nine months, even if it’s nine years, it’d be worth it as well!” Zhang Lisheng snapped back to reality and said excitedly.


    “Don’t be so excited yet, dear. You still need maintenance when the satellites areunched into the sky. There’ll be a lot of expenses in the future...”


    “Oh...as long as the satellites are in the sky and have already scanned the world map of Shrimp World No. 2, it doesn’t matter that much even if they crash. All I need is just that map to determine the division oftitude and longitude,” Zhang Lisheng interrupted Tina’s words without much concern.


    The moment his words left his mouth, Trish pondered for a while before adding, “If your request is just that simple, then two low-orbit satellites will suffice. However, it’ll be more time-consuming... Ah forget it, you’ll still have to build a control tform and aunching tower so it won’t be that much cheaper anyway, not to mention that you are not short of money. ”


    “I’m not short of money but I’m short of time, Trish!” Zhang Lisheng unconsciously sped his fingers together on the conference table. “Can you please ask Mr. Howick to use his rtionship in Washington to lobby for LS to get the permission ofunching satellites on Shrimp B1 Ind as early as possible? Tina, please ask Mr. Dolby to help gather some professionals who can manipte the satellite control in advance. Not only that, please also ask Charlie to contact a satelliteunchingpany.”


    “Acting spoilt in front of our dads is the trick Trish and I are best at so there should be no problem. However, didn’t you say just now that it’s worthwhile to wait for even nine years tounch a satellite on Shrimp B1 Ind so why can you no longer wait if it’s only nine months?” Tina ridiculed him.


    “It’s not that I can’t wait but it’s just I have too many things to do now. There are so many things to do that I’m trying to cross out everything one by one in my agenda!” Zhang Lisheng smiled and took out his mobile phone from his pocket to call Charlie, who managed the LS Group on behalf of him. After arranging theunch of the satellite on Shrimp B1 Ind, he finally added, “Listen, Charlie, this matter is more important than you think. Once the time is ripe, you can go ahead with it directly without waiting for my instructions!”


    “I understand, boss! Don’t worry!” Charlie’s clear answer resonated from the phone.


    “Very good! Work for me with all your heart and one day, you’ll get a reward that will surprise you, Charlie! See you!” Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone.


    After that, he stood up from the office chair and ran his fingers on his sparse short hair. He took a long sigh of relief and picked up a croissant from the dining cart before biting into it and looking at the three girls. “Alright, three beautiful girls! Now that we’ve finished our business, it’s time for us to snack on some fruits and snacks. Can you guys bring me to visit Boston?”


    “I’m sorry, Lisheng! She and I have to go back to Harvard. We still have other things to attend to in the afternoon. I’ll help you contact my dad at night and since Shrimp B1 Ind has fully opened to private funds, I think the government will wee anypany who is willing to take the initiative tounch a satellite on the ind. It should not be a big problem.”


    “Thank you, Trish.” Zhang Lisheng nodded. “I’ll see you then!”


    “See you, Lisheng!” A sweet smile appeared on Trish’s face as she waited for She to wave and ridicule Tina and Zhang Lisheng. “See, Tina? We’re so sensible! Don’t worry, we won’t take the initiative to contact you in these two weeks! Also, just leave the ss notes to me and enjoy yourself okay, my dear? See you again, Lisheng!”


    After finished saying so, she walked out together with Trish from the conference room.


    Looking at the disappearing back of her two best friends, Tina bit her lips and looked down with aplex emotion, before muttering, “I’m sorry, dear sisters. There are some things that are destined not to be shared!”


    Upon hearing the girl’s words that had a double-meaning, Zhang Lisheng chose to be temporarily deaf. In the next ten days or so, he apanied his girlfriend to travel to Boston’s most famous city attractions, and spent a good sweet time together before finally returning to New York by ne.


    There was still 14 days to go before the transaction date he made with the Lord. Zhang Lisheng, who nned to return to his hometown afterpleting the transaction, decided to leave his remaining two weeks to his mother. For this reason, after getting out of the airport, he took a taxi and headed to Brooklyn.


    Cars were speeding on the streets of New York City.


    Walking through the body of this ‘steel behemoth’ shrouded in the night, the young man absent-mindedly felt that everything in front of him seemed to be familiar. At that instant, time seemed to reverse and returned to the evening when he first arrived in New York.


    This strange feeling lingered for a long time. It was only until Zhang Lisheng saw the grown young man’s face through the car window’s reflection that he sighed in a low voice. Snapping back to reality, he smiled dryly and watched the taxi gradually slow down, stopping on themunity street that he was familiar with.


    When he came out of the car, the spring breeze of the night was already slightly warm, apanying the unique aroma of the nts budding. The young man took a few deep breaths and walked to the door of the house in the night, before knocking on the door.


    “Who is that? Sullo? Did you forget to bring the key again?”


    “It’s me, Mom!”


    “Lisheng? Is that you, Lisheng?” A cry of surprise resonated from inside the wooden house.


    “Yes.”


    “Wait, baby! Wait! I’ll open the door right away.” The door opened very quickly, revealing Lili’s slightly older face than before.


    After her two youngest children, Gill and Harry, wen to college, she did not be more rxed after going through a short period of uneasiness, like most mothers in the US country. Instead, she looked more tired than before.


    however, when Lili saw her most beloved son because of her guilt, her spirit skyrocketed right away. After giving Zhang Lisheng a tight hug, she choked and said, “I haven’t seen you for months, baby! I-I’ve missed you so much! So so much...”


    “Me too! Don’t cry mom! look, aren’t I back now? This time, I’ll...” As Zhang Lisheng was speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by streaks of bright white light in the sky far away. Baffled, the young man looked up and carefully discerned the huge Steel Warriors wrapped in each beam of white light.
