Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 373 The Threat of the Mutual Aid Association
Shi Hanxing focused on reporting on the investigation of mutual aid associations.

Mutual aid associations are invisible in human society, and not many people have even heard of the name of this organization.

By cooperating with the federal security agencies, the Gumin Society has also achieved certain results by conducting investigations from the shareholders of Solar System Power and Xingwang.

The composition of the shareholders of these two companies is very complicated. There are thousands of shareholders holding more than 100 billion shares, including many large companies, large consortiums and rich people, all over the three major federations.

However, after a detailed inspection, it was found that its controlling stake is actually still in the hands of some ancient European families, because they are behind many large companies and consortia in the European and American Federation.

Shi Hanxing suspects that these Western nobles who have been passed down for thousands of years are the real masters of the Mutual Aid Society.

The most worrying thing is that most of these people are some religious fanatics who advocate Western supremacy and are the real enemy of the Ancient Minhui.

After listening to Shi Hanxing's report, Zhong Cheng agrees with them. It's normal to want to make money, and it's not terrible, but it will be troublesome if you have extreme thoughts.

Because in this way, their behavior becomes less predictable and more dangerous.

The ancient people's association wants to promote Chinese culture, and the mutual aid association is a natural enemy.

Zhong Cheng looked over the list of major shareholders of Solar System Power Company and Xingwang Company brought by Shi Hanxing, and found a pattern.

He handed the list to Yang Shuzhen, and Yang Shuzhen frowned after reading it.

Although these thousands of major shareholders are involved in a variety of industries, most of them are related to space development and the "second world".

This is thanks to Zhong Cheng and Yang Shuzhen's recent cooperation with the cloud network company, and paying attention to space development and the development of the metaverse, so they can discover this.

Mutual Aid's focus on space development was to be expected, but it was an accidental discovery that they were also trying to take control of the "Second World".

This has attracted Zhong Cheng's attention. In terms of competing with industrial strength to develop the space industry, Red Star Company is not afraid of any opponent.

But in the field of metaverse, Red Star Company is a complete novice, without any advantage.

Now the only thing left to do is to see if the "Dameng Tianxia", which is cooperating with Yunwang, can have a competitive advantage as Lei Yongzhong expected.

But there is another crucial problem, that is, his actual control over "Dream World" is unknown, because this is a developmental game.

In this game, the player has a high degree of freedom and it is difficult for the operator to interfere with it.

If Western players have the ability, it is possible to build a Western-style empire in the game.

At that time, they will make wedding dresses for others.

In the future, the control and anti-control of the Metaverse will be another form of struggle.

Thinking about this Metaverse gave him a headache.

Zhong Cheng didn't discuss the "Second World" too much, because before "Dameng Tianxia" was launched, they were completely powerless about the metaverse of "Second World".

He just arranged for the three of Shi Hanxing to strengthen cooperation with the federal security agencies and continue to investigate the details of the Mutual Aid Society.

There is a special department in the federal security agency - Yitian. The responsibility of Yitian is to ensure the security of the Asian Federation in the open. This department has strong strength.

Zhong Cheng asked Shi Hanxing to use his name to go to the head of the Federal Security Agency, asking him to introduce and establish contact with Yitian, and strive for cooperation with them.

The existence of the Mutual Aid Association not only caused troubles to the Red Star Company, but also threatened the security of the Federation.

Shi Hanxing finally mentioned that Xu Jiuwen, whom Zhong Cheng asked him to take care of, performed very well, and the investigation of the Mutual Aid Association was mainly due to Xu Jiuwen's credit.

Speaking of Xu Jiuwen, Zhong Cheng asked Chen Yilong how the current situation in Tangdao was.

Chen Yilong repeatedly praised that Tang Dao is currently participating in training at the training base of the Ministry of Security. He is very interested in mecha operation and is also very talented. He is the best among this group of students.

Zhong Cheng nodded and let the three of them leave without saying anything.

A group of children from Zhong Yi, Zhou Long, Liu Jiang to Alicia and Tang Dao all fell in love with mechas, and he had an indescribable premonition.

Could it be that there will really be an era in which armored warriors shine in the future?

But he does not want such an era to come, because it means the cruelest war.

In front of mecha warriors, ordinary people are worse than ants!

And with the mobility of mech warriors, if they can be used in large quantities, there is no place in this world that is truly safe.

……

The next day, Zhong Cheng, Zhou Hu, Fu Huaquan, Yang Xi, Lin Wei and others rushed to the headquarters of the second phase of the Nantianmen project in Kunlun City.

The headquarters is built in a simple shed less than 1 km away from Yuxu Peak.

Zhou Hu said that after the Spring Festival next year, they can move into the newly built Kunlun Building next to it.

The Kunlun Tower has only 99 floors and a height of just over 300 meters.

This is because Kunlun City will be an aerospace transit city. In the future, there will be a large number of cargo and passenger planes and electric flying cars flying in the air, so the city buildings are divided into uniform heights.

According to the plan, Zhong Cheng and others will stay in Kunlun City for a long time in the future until the second phase of the Nantianmen project is completed.

Everyone packed up their luggage and started working hard.

October 8st at 5:10 am.

Eight space spiders "hanging" from an altitude of 3 kilometers finally reached the sky above Yuxu Peak.

It was one day later than expected, because the delay in replenishing raw materials was a little longer in the middle.

Moreover, after the space spider enters the stratosphere and troposphere of the atmosphere, the last 100 kilometers is the most difficult part.

The weight of several hundred tons of the space spider itself is no longer enough to stabilize the cables weighing more than 1000 tons. Coupled with the turbulent air flow, the space spider and the cables connected to it are like catkins in the wind.

In order to pass this last distance, the engineering command dispatched more than 3000 Jingwei drones to help stabilize the cables.

But as long as the first batch of 8 cables are installed and fixed, the space spiders behind will have support, and the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

At a depth of 500 meters below the ladder transfer center in the belly of Yuxu Peak, Zhong Cheng and others were already waiting at the ladder cable control center.

This control center is responsible for the safety control of 512 cables with a length of 3 kilometers in the future ladder.

It will monitor the force of all cables in real time through sensors, and adjust the force of the cables through the transmission device and the power device on Icarus.

This is the core control room of the entire ladder system.

10 points.

Spider No. 200 decelerated first, and accurately drilled into Yuxu Peak from the center of the [-]-meter-diameter hole on the top platform of Yuxu Peak.

It slowed down all the way, and after 3 minutes, it reached a depth of 3000 meters underground, and stopped firmly in front of Zhong Cheng and others.

A dozen or so engineers who were already prepared stepped forward and operated the hoisting equipment to fix Spider-100, and then pulled out the last [-]-meter-long cable from its nozzle and cut it off.

One operation process of Spider One is considered complete.

It will be sent back to the ground by the transfer device, and then transported to Zabuye Airport by Xuanwu 600 cargo plane, loaded on the aerospace plane, and sent to Icarus to start the next operation.

And the cable it brings back to the ground will be connected to the large transformer equipment here, and the last 300 meters will be installed in the retractable pipe.

This telescopic pipeline uses a hydraulic locking device, which can adjust the length of the cable according to the force of the cable and ensure that it can withstand sufficient tension.
