CIATB Chapter 176 Heavenly Secrets!
Chapter 176 Heavenly Secrets!
Qin Xiao didn't quite understand.
"Security? Use these mechs as security guards?"
"Is that not allowed?"
Zhang Yan pointed to the "Wolf's Gaze" on the drawing.
"Take away the weapon system, replace it with surveillance cameras and fire extinguishers, and it will be the most perfect patrol dog in the world."
He then pointed to "Moving Mountains".
"Remove the armor, and it becomes the most efficient transporter."
Zhang Yan leaned back on the sofa, his fingers gently tapping his knees.
"On the surface, we are a high-tech security company that takes on high-end security and special escort jobs."
"This is our cover in secret."
"I need a legitimate site, a large amount of raw materials, and sufficient cash flow to build a real legion."
Qin Xiao understood.
This is a case of false advertising.
No, it's a case of false advertising.
He swallowed hard.
"Brother Yan, isn't this going a bit too far?"
"You dare not?"
Zhang Yan looked at him.
Qin Xiao slapped his thigh and jumped up from the sofa.
"Dare! What's there to be afraid of!"
"In my life, Qin Xiao is only bad at studying; I've never been afraid of anyone else!"
He paced back and forth in the private room, becoming more and more excited as he thought about it.
"I have the site! It's located in the western suburbs of Jinghai. It used to be an abandoned industrial park, which my dad's friend gave me as payment for a debt. It's been deserted ever since."
"I have the money! I have 300 million in pocket money in my account. If that's not enough, I'll just sell the house!"
"The qualification is even easier to obtain! I'll put in a good word, and the certificate will be ready tomorrow!"
Qin Xiao stopped in his tracks, his eyes shining.
"Brother Yan, does that mean I'm the... deputy commander of this legion?"
Zhang Yan glanced at him.
"You are the security captain."
Qin Xiao: "..."
"What, you don't want to?"
"Yes! Absolutely!"
Qin Xiao chuckled.
"As long as I can touch the mecha, I'd be willing to be the security captain, or even the gatekeeper."
Zhang Yan nodded.
"There's one more thing."
His expression turned serious.
"The core manufacturing workshop must be underground."
"All personnel involved in the core assembly must undergo rigorous screening, preferably those you know well and are willing to die for you."
"Even ordinary employees of the security company cannot know the secrets underground."
Qin Xiao put away his playful smile and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Brother Yan."
"The Qin family may not have much else, but they have plenty of retired veterans."
"I've transferred a group of people from my home who have signed life-or-death contracts; they're absolutely loyal."
Zhang Yan stood up and picked up his backpack.
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Take me to the venue tomorrow."
Qin Xiao eagerly followed behind, helping Zhang Yan open the door.
"Okay, Brother Yan! I'll arrange it right away!"
The two walked out of the private room.
At the end of the corridor, several uniformed waiters were cleaning.
Upon seeing Qin Xiao, they immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully.
"Hello, Young Master Qin."
Qin Xiao didn't even glance at them, but instead surrounded Zhang Yan with a fawning expression.
"Brother Yan, are you hungry? How about we grab something to eat? The hairy crabs here are pretty good..."
The waiters straightened up and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is that Young Master Qin?
That young master Qin who swaggered around in the capital?
Why do I act like a little follower in front of that person?
Chapter 178 Heavenly Secrets
Changfeng Industrial Park, on the western outskirts of Jinghai.
This place was originally planned to be a chip industry base, but the funding chain broke down and it was abandoned for three years.
Weeds grew rampant, and the factory buildings were dilapidated.
A huge lock hung on the rusty iron gate.
A black SUV was parked at the entrance.
Qin Xiao jumped out of the car and kicked open the iron gate.
"Brother Yan, this is it."
Zhang Yan got out of the car and looked around.
It covers a large area, at least 500 acres.
There are no residential areas around, only continuous barren mountains.
It's very quiet.
It's also very well hidden.
"How are the underground facilities?"
Zhang Yan asked.
"Back then, in order to make precision instruments, two underground levels were dug, both built according to the standards of air-raid shelters, with reinforced concrete structures, which are very sturdy."
Qin Xiao pointed to a huge domed building in the distance.
"That's the main factory building; there's also a separate energy center below it."
Zhang Yan nodded.
"good."
He walked to the factory gate and reached out to touch the rough cement wall.
The system displayed the scan results in my mind.
Terrain scan complete.
Structural strength: B+
[Stealth: A]
[Transformation Potential: S]
[Recommendation: Install a quantum interference barrier and expand the underground area by three levels to serve as the core assembly area.]
Zhang Yan withdrew his hand.
"This is it."
Construction will begin tomorrow.
"First, raise the height of the wall and install the highest level of security system."
"I'll design the three underground floors myself; I'll send you the blueprints tonight."
Qin Xiao took out his phone and started taking notes.
"No problem. Do you have enough money?"
"That's enough for the initial stage. We can earn more if needed."
Zhang Yan turned around and looked at the empty park.
The wind rustled through the weeds.
It was as if countless steel behemoths were awakening.
"By the way, Brother Yan."
Qin Xiao put away his phone, somewhat hesitant.
"I need to tell my dad about this."
"After all, mobilizing so many veterans and purchasing special metal materials couldn't have gotten around his informants."
Zhang Yan glanced at him.
"Go ahead and fight."
"Let's fight now."
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and dialed the number that terrified him.
The phone rang twice before being answered.
"Dad, it's me."
Qin Xiao's voice was somewhat strained.
"I want to...I want to start a company in Jinghai."
Qin Changfeng's calm and authoritative voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What company?"
"Security company."
Qin Xiao glanced at Zhang Yan and swallowed.
"I want to work with Brother Yan."
He provides the technology, and I provide the money and personnel.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Qin Xiao's heart was in his throat.
He knew his father too well.
Qin Changfeng hated his messing around the most. He had been scolded mercilessly when he tried to start a supercar club before.
Five seconds later.
Qin Changfeng's voice rang out again.
"Zhang Yan's technology?"
"Yes."
"Is he a major shareholder?"
"Yes."
Another brief silence followed.
"understood."
Qin Changfeng's tone remained completely calm.
"We're short-handed. Go find your Uncle Xu; he has a group of recently retired special forces soldiers under his command."
"If there is a shortage of materials, submit a report directly to the logistics department and get special approval."
"There is only one requirement."
Qin Xiao was stunned.
"What are your requirements?"
"Keep it down, don't cause a major upheaval in Jinghai."
beep--
The phone hangs up.
Qin Xiao stood there, phone in hand, dumbfounded.
So... he agreed?
Special approval for materials?
Are they going to give them to special forces?
Is this still the same father who used to whip him with a belt at the drop of a hat?
Zhang Yan wasn't surprised by his blank expression.
Qin Changfeng is a smart man.
He knew what "security company" meant.
He also knew what the technology in Zhang Yan's hands meant.
This is a pledge of allegiance.
It is also a talisman.
"Alright, stop spacing out."
Zhang Yan patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder.
"The company doesn't have a name yet."
Qin Xiao came to his senses.
"Yes, yes, a name! Yan-ge, you come up with one!"
Zhang Yan looked at the setting sun in the distance.
The setting sun, like blood, dyed the abandoned factory buildings a dark red.
Since it's to fight against that "Ruins" from the stars.
Since it uses the techniques of the Mohists.
"Let's call it Heavenly Secret."
Zhang Yan said calmly.
"Heavenly secrets that cannot be revealed."
Qin Xiao repeated it twice.
"Tianji Security...Tianji..."
"So domineering!"
He gave a thumbs up.
Just then, a heavy truck roared into the park.
The words "Jinghai Steel" are printed on the vehicle body.
The first batch of basic building materials has arrived.
Qin Xiao excitedly ran over to direct the unloading.
Zhang Yan stood still, without moving.
He took a black metal fragment out of his pocket.
Those are fragments of the Heart of Heaven's Craftsmanship.
At this moment, the fragments were slightly warm, as if sensing some kind of summons.
Zhang Yan gripped the shards tightly.
This moment.
The steel torrent of the future has laid its first rivet at this moment.
And three thousand meters underground, far away.
The huge blue sphere of light seemed to flicker slightly as well.
As if in response.
It's as if they're looking forward to it.
