Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 593 Aerospace Assembly Workshop Design Stuck? The Guss Family's Top Team Offers It All for Free

Lu Yuan hadn't been to this facility in a long time.

Actually, this shouldn't be the case. Tenglong Island still has a lot of undeveloped space, with plenty of vacant land right now.

However, Hu Jiangshan has been too busy with trivial matters lately and has not been able to focus on developing Tenglong Island. Another reason is that development also requires money.

Although the facilities related to the technology engine are relatively cheaper, the absolute amount is still not low.

Especially for super-large buildings, which now easily cost tens of millions, Hu Jiangshan sometimes can't afford it.

It's possible that no one has been here for a while, because the vegetation at the entrance of the facility has grown very tall and is almost blocking the entrance.

This is a good thing. The more hidden the facility is, the better, otherwise it will take a long time to explain, and even the function of the facility will be inexplicable.

Hu Jiangshan swiped his fingerprint and had his retina scanned, and the facility's doors opened.

Hu Jiangshan went inside; the facility was still spotless.

Every facility on the Tech Engine APP should have a self-cleaning function, requiring no maintenance at all. Every time you enter, it's spotless, providing a great experience.

Hu Jiangshan looked at the construction vehicles and equipment parked on the first and second basement levels. They looked like an army, imposing and powerful.

Hu Jiangshan arrived at the central control room and turned on the main computer.

Hu Jiangshan pulled up an aerial view of the entire Tenglong Island and then selected a location that was relatively large and adjacent to the space launch site.

Hu Jiangshan entered the name of the facility he wanted to build: a precision assembly workshop for aerospace equipment.

Surprisingly, there were no pre-installed facilities available.

Hu Jiangshan sighed. There was nothing he could do; it seemed he would have to design it himself.

Designing such a facility is a huge undertaking. The facility itself is extremely complex and requires a great deal of relevant technical knowledge to design.

Starting from scratch, even with all our efforts and working overtime, it would probably take several days to complete.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan was a little worried.

As mentioned earlier, Hu Jiangshan's personality has changed drastically compared to his previous life. In his previous life, Hu Jiangshan was hardworking and dedicated, working day and night. Whenever it involved work, he would finish it no matter how long it took, and he even went three days without sleep, barely hanging on by a thread.

In his previous life, Hu Jiangshan was like an old ox, no, even more so than an old ox.

In this life, Hu Jiangshan gradually got used to a life of enjoyment. He was fine with being busy occasionally, but if he had to work non-stop for several days, he really couldn't stand it; it would be like taking his life.

Hu Jiangshan sighed. There was no other way; if they didn't do this, the preliminary preparations for the asteroid defense system couldn't be carried out.

We must get the "precision assembly workshop for aerospace equipment" sorted out no matter what.

Hu Jiangshan poured himself a cup of coffee, opened the infrastructure editor on the central control computer, and began drawing lines one by one.

After drawing for half an hour, Hu Jiangshan shook his head, took a sip of coffee, and felt a bit of a headache.

But there was no other way; no one could help him, so he still had to do it.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Kathryn Guise calling.

Hu Jiangshan quickly answered the phone, and Catherine's very pleasant voice came from the other end.

Catherine spoke to Hu Jiangshan in Mandarin. She spoke very well, with a slight accent, but it was still quite pleasant to listen to.

"Mr. Hu, are you back from Hangzhou?"

Hu Jiangshan replied, "I'm back, Catherine. Did you know I went to Hangzhou? I thought you were too busy to ask about me."

"No matter how busy you are, you still need to know where Mr. Hu is."

"Catherine, thank you for the sports car. It's the latest model. It's really expensive, three or four million Hong Kong dollars, which is no small amount."

Catherine laughed: "What's this, Mr. Hu? To you, a car like this is nothing."

Hu Jiangshan thought to himself, "It's nothing to you, Miss, but it's worth mentioning to me."

However, Hu Jiangshan would never say this aloud; it would be too beneath him.

Catherine asked, "By the way, Mr. Hu, you're on Tenglong Island, right?"

Yes, I'm here.

"If you have time, how about we grab a coffee and chat for a bit?"

Hu Jiangshan readily agreed.

The girl gave Hu Jiangshan a car, and he couldn't possibly refuse her; that would be utterly despicable and shameless.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan is currently experiencing some headaches and feels unwell, so going to chat with the blonde beauty and relax a bit is a good idea.

Catherine is currently at the resort, of course.

Hu Jiangshan got up, walked out of the facility, got into his electric commuter vehicle, and went to the resort.

The popularity of Tenglong Island is now much greater than it was at the beginning. Hu Jiangshan encountered many electric vehicles along the way, almost all of which were filled with employees.

They were all wearing work badges; some were maintenance workers on the island, some were employees of the space launch site, and some were employees of the semiconductor factory.

It is worth mentioning that most of the semiconductor department is still kept secret, so department employees are referred to as industry maintenance personnel.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan saw the resort.

Wow, looking from afar, you can see many tourists strolling on the white sand beach, enjoying the scenery and taking photos.

There are probably over a hundred people.

This popularity is unmatched.

This is a high-end resort, and the room rates are quite high. Even without the rocket launch to watch, the average price starts at HK$20,000, and that's for a standard room.

If you want to stay in a holiday home, it will cost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars per night.

Even with such high prices, it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the wealthy.

This shows that Tenglong Island Resort has made a name for itself and gained a good reputation in a very short period of time.

In fact, the circle of wealthy people in Hong Kong is very small. Once the news spreads, almost everyone in the circle knows about it.

Hu Jiangshan parked his commuter bus in the parking area, got off, and came to the small waterfall. He saw that there were still many people swimming in the pool, half of whom were children, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

As Hu Jiangshan walked, he listened attentively to the conversations of the tourists.

"This place is wonderful! I never imagined there was such a beautiful place!"

"What's strange is that this kind of place is on Hong Kong Island; I had no idea about it before."

"That's normal. None of us knew. We heard that this island wasn't beautiful before; it was modified."

"Modified? That's amazing! How much money and time must that have cost!"

"I think it's impossible; transforming an island in a short period of time is wishful thinking."

"Anyway, it's great that Hong Kong Island has such a wonderful place to vacation."

"Yes, this place is like paradise."

"No, I need to stay a couple more days. Look at this scenery, I can't get enough of it!" Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but smile as he listened to the conversation.

The response was even more enthusiastic than expected.

Hu Jiangshan walked upstairs and was stunned; he hadn't expected the commercial street to be open.

As mentioned earlier, the entire commercial street in the resort was handed over to Feng Chao, while Catherine only kept two or three shops for other purposes.

Hu Jiangshan walked up and saw a big sign – Wolong Ice Room.

Sure enough, Feng Chao's beloved ice cream parlor had already opened on the island.

Hu Jiangshan discovered that the shop was quite large, even larger than the main shops in Kowloon, Hong Kong Island.

The shop was half full of customers; business was booming.

Seeing Hu Jiangshan peeking into the store, a pretty saleswoman greeted him: "Sir, please come in and have a seat! We have everything here, please order whatever you like."

Hu Jiangshan was actually quite curious about the pricing of Feng Chao's store. It would definitely be more expensive than Kowloon, but how much more expensive exactly?
However, Hu Jiangshan had already made plans with Catherine, so he couldn't eat here. He waved his hand and said, "I'll come back later."

The pretty shop assistant smiled and nodded: "Okay! You can come anytime."

It has to be said that Feng Chao is really good at finding shop assistants. This beautiful shop assistant is indeed gorgeous, with both her face and figure being top-notch.

Did Feng Chao hire this employee to keep her for himself?

That's quite possible. Feng Chao is a man of many thoughts; we shouldn't overestimate his bottom line.

Hu Jiangshan turned and left, continuing uphill.

Just then, a customer in Wolong Ice Room got up, and like in a movie, shoved a few tickets onto the table and left.

This person has an ordinary appearance and average height. He is bald, but his eyes are quite bright, indicating that he is an intelligent person.

The bald man looked up, admiring the scenery as he walked up, occasionally muttering to himself.

If someone were nearby at this time, they would hear some very suspicious conversations.

"Tiger, the target has been reached. Keep an eye on things over there and get ready."

"Okay, I won't follow them, so as not to expose myself."

The bald man watched out of the corner of his eye as Hu Jiangshan walked upstairs and gradually disappeared into the main building of the resort.

Hu Jiangshan was indeed unaware that he was being targeted by certain people.

He never expected to be targeted at the resort, let alone know the identity of the person he was targeting, at least not yet.

Hu Jiangshan went to the front desk and explained his purpose to the staff.

The receptionist must be new; she doesn't recognize Hu Jiangshan.

The receptionist immediately called over the lobby manager, who then recognized Hu Jiangshan.

The lobby manager quickly led Hu Jiangshan to where the boss, Catherine, was. He was extremely respectful throughout, treating Hu Jiangshan like a king.

Catherine was in the resort's office, right in the main building.

Hu Jiangshan had been here before, so it wasn't unfamiliar to him.

Catherine was always accompanied by a burly foreign man, who was her bodyguard, named Blake.

Catherine was delighted to see Hu Jiangshan arrive and said, "Blake, you can go out now, everything's fine here."

“Yes, Ms. Guss.”

Blake then went out and closed the door behind him.

Catherine invited Hu Jiangshan to sit down and even poured him a cup of tea herself.

Hu Jiangshan took a sip and wasn't surprised; it was Chinese tea, not the British black tea that Westerners usually drink.

Catherine is indeed a unique girl. She is very interested in things from China, whether it's books or food and drink. She has a strong preference for Chinese things, which explains why she has dominated so many industries in China.

Catherine prefers to stay in China more than many Chinese people do.

Catherine looked Hu Jiangshan up and down a few times: "Mr. Hu, you seem quite tired and lack energy. Was your trip to Hangzhou too exhausting?"

Hu Jiangshan gave a wry smile: "Going to Hangzhou is a business trip, not a vacation, so it's really tiring."

"Mr. Hu, you need to take care of your health. Since you're tired, you don't need to rush to work."

Hu Jiangshan was quite touched and thanked him.

Catherine was quite concerned about Hu Jiangshan, and the fact that she was a beautiful woman made Hu Jiangshan even more gratified.

Hu Jiangshan discovered that Catherine had a special ability: she was very meticulous and had extremely keen observation skills. She was truly a product of the elite model of the United States. Her abilities were indeed strong, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a genius.

The education system in the United States has two models. One is a joyful education for ordinary people, which is the kind of education that many people in mainland China aspire to.

However, the truth is that children raised with "happy education" are of questionable quality. Most of them can only work as waiters in fast food restaurants or cashiers in supermarkets. They will never be able to afford a house in their lifetime and are very likely to become homeless. They are definitely just "waste materials".

Elite education is geared towards the wealthy, and these children are extremely competitive. They often suffer from sleep deprivation during their basic education, relying on coffee to keep them awake, making them even more competitive than those in mainland China.

However, Catherine is a genius, possessing the genes of Bill Guise, so she probably doesn't need to be too curly to achieve the desired effect.

After exchanging a few words, Catherine suddenly asked, "Mr. Hu, you seem to have something on your mind?"

Hu Jiangshan was taken aback: "I have something on my mind? How did you tell?"

"It's a woman's intuition, you tell me, does it or doesn't it?"

Hu Jiangshan gave a wry smile: "Yes, of course I do. I have quite a few things on my mind."

Catherine took a sip of tea: "Then tell me about your biggest worry, I'd love to hear it."

Hu Jiangshan thought about it for a moment. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be appropriate to tell Catherine about this, but after careful consideration, it seemed like it wouldn't hurt, since she was indeed trustworthy.

"Here's the thing, I want to add a building to the space launch site. The requirements are quite high, and it needs a well-designed structure, but this design... I can't handle it in a short time, and I'm really worried about it."

Catherine smiled: "I thought Mr. Hu had something very difficult on his mind. Maybe I can help with this."

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "You can help?"

At this point, Hu Jiangshan's eyes suddenly lit up. The Guise family also had an aerospace technology team, and perhaps there were capable people who could do the design work.

"Mr. Hu, what kind of building facilities do you need? I can ask my father for you. He has a large team of experts who were poached from space agencies around the world."

Without hesitation, Hu Jiangshan told Catherine about the type of facilities he needed and his requirements.

Catherine wrote everything down carefully, and then immediately called Bill Guise.

Bill Guise seemed to be a kind-hearted person, saying that he already had a similar design and would send it over tomorrow for Hu Jiangshan to see if it was usable.

Hu Jiangshan readily agreed.

Having a ready-made design makes things much easier. He can't just adopt it verbatim. If he's lucky, he only needs to make some modifications.

Hu Jiangshan and Catherine were unaware that a tiny device was secretly operating on the outer wall of the office.
