Acai's Sky

Chapter 648 Come on!

Chinese military camp outside Wangyou City

In the conference room of the comprehensive building

Old Liu stood quietly at one side, his eyes fixed on his grandson's skillful movements in operating the system panel. As the email attachment was successfully opened, a shocking scene suddenly came into view.

In an instant, the jaw-dropping amount of gold coins displayed on the screen was like a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the eyes of everyone present and making them all amazed.

Old Liu turned around slowly and closed his eyes gently, as if he was trying his best to calm the surging emotions in his heart.

After a brief silence, he asked in a gentle yet deep tone, "What are your thoughts on this sudden huge amount of gold?"

Director Xu, who was sitting next to him, was already grinning from ear to ear at the unexpected surprise, his eyes narrowed into slits, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

He rubbed his hands excitedly and said earnestly, "Recently, our scientists have been making every effort to purchase large quantities of various rare minerals in order to achieve breakthroughs in the research and development and manufacturing of new equipment.

However, even if all the gold coins accumulated previously were spent, it would only be enough to meet the initial construction needs of two star ports, more than ten space stations, and hundreds of space battleships..."

Speaking of this, Director Xu couldn't help but frowned slightly, obviously deeply worried about the current financial difficulties.

Minister Zhou quickly took over the conversation, a slightly bitter smile on his face. "I've suddenly received such a huge amount of gold coins. My heart is beating like a drum. No, I have to take some blood pressure pills right away. Otherwise, I'm really worried I won't be able to handle the immense pressure brought by this surprise!"

As he spoke, he slowly reached into his pocket, fumbled for a moment, and finally succeeded in taking out a medicine bottle.

Then, he carefully unscrewed the cap of the medicine bottle and gently poured out a few white pills.

Then, without hesitation, he put the pills into his mouth and swallowed them quickly.

At this moment, Director Xu couldn't help but jokingly said, "Stop messing around here and stop pretending! Everyone knows you have a magical elixir like the [Top-Grade Rejuvenation Pill] hidden on you. Just one pill will cure the disease. Why go to all this trouble?"

Before he finished speaking, Director Xu had already walked quickly to Minister Zhou, snatched the medicine bottle from his hand, and looked at it carefully.

He was shocked at the sight and roared angrily, "Humph, this really makes me angry! I thought it was some miracle cure, but it turns out to be just an ordinary calcium tablet! Minister Zhou, don't take too many of these calcium tablets, or it might backfire!"

After saying that, he angrily threw the bottle of calcium tablets heavily on the table, turned back to his seat and sat down heavily.

However, his eyes were still fixed on Minister Zhou, as if he wanted to completely devour the other person with his eyes.

Facing Director Xu's accusations and anger, Minister Zhou always maintained a pleasant expression and showed no sign of anger.

He cheerfully explained, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm used to taking blood pressure medication. Even though I'm cured now, I still can't help but reach into my pocket. So I'm using calcium tablets instead of blood pressure medication!"

Hearing this, Mr. Liu, who had been silent at the side, finally couldn't help but interrupt and try to ease the tense atmosphere.

He sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Ah, you two, stop arguing over these trivial matters. The most important thing now is that with this gold, we can continue many of our research projects. So, as for those ores we're still short of, should we go to the Mohist School's affiliated mall to purchase them?"

Director Xu nodded and said affirmatively, "Of course. The price of ore in their affiliated mall is slightly lower than ours, so we should save as much as possible!"

Old Liu nodded in agreement, and then used his communication panel to contact the main person in charge of scientific research, Mr. Kong, and asked him and Mr. Liao to come and bring back some of the gold coins.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Boss Qiu walked in with steady steps.

He extended his broad palm, gently patted Elder Liu's shoulder, and said in a comforting tone, "Don't worry too much, Elder Liu.

In my opinion, the reason why this inviter is so generous in giving us a full two trillion gold coins is simply because he hopes that we can speed up the development of advanced space equipment such as warships and interstellar aircraft.

As long as we work together and bring these high-tech products to market as quickly as possible, one day in the future, when we successfully venture into the vast universe and discover the inexhaustible wealth, it won't be too late to repay her!"

After saying that, Boss Qiu calmly lit the pipe in his hand and took a deep breath leisurely.

Amidst the smoke, his firm and confident expression was particularly eye-catching.

Director Xu continued, "That's right. Only half a year has passed in the outside world, and the total amount of gold coins held by Chinese players is only a few tens of thousands."

Then, he frowned and said worriedly, "Should we continue to buy gold coins? You know, the number of gold coins in the hands of Chinese players is very low! This is really a headache."

Political Commissar Liao nodded slightly, then after a moment's thought, slowly spoke, "Hmm... I think we should continue collecting them. Although Chinese players don't have many gold coins left, there are still some who are willing to sell what they have. Besides, we're simply using external RAM to exchange for these gold coins, so cost-effectively, this is still quite cost-effective."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard coming from far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mr. Kong striding into the meeting room at the fastest speed.

Director Xu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and joked, "Haha, look at how energetic Old Kong is. He's exactly the same as when he was young! His feet are like the wind, and he looks so heroic!"

Hearing this, Mr. Kong stopped, puffed out his chest, and said loudly with a proud smile on his face:

"That's right! During this year's Chinese New Year, all of our scientists were fortunate enough to obtain the extremely precious [Top-grade Longevity Pill] and [Top-grade Rejuvenation Pill].

After taking it, all my old illnesses were cured without any medication!

I feel like a brand new person, as if I have suddenly become decades younger!

If I continue like this, I can still serve my country for at least a few more decades!"

At this time, Director Wu also stood up, walked over to Lao Long with a smile on his face, gently patted his shoulder, and said encouragingly, "Hey, old buddy! This is good, our gold coin problem is finally solved, and we can go buy more urgently needed materials! Next time, you have to work harder!"

"Yes, keep going!"
