Chapter 1071 Taiyi Jinhua Atlas
"So, this is the principle." Zheng Shijie explained, "After these metals are smelted into spiritual objects, their forms will naturally show a corner of the Great Dao. But I can't say how much proportion this 'corner' accounts for in the complete Taiyi Jinhua. I even think that there may be more than one Taiyi Jinhua. Shangluo, you saw it last time, right? You are the only one who witnessed it directly."

Shangluo nodded: "The level of the explosion is high enough. It seems that as long as it is related to spiritual objects, even an explosion will produce Taiyi Jinhua."

"Then look carefully at the cannon. Is there any pattern on it that you have seen before?"

"." Shangluo looked carefully but remained silent.

"Why? Is it troublesome?"

Shangluo nodded: "The trouble is, I don't even know if I have seen it. The pattern of Taiyi Jinhua is indeed engraved in my mind, but it is difficult for me to describe what it looks like."

[Beyond words, knowledge, temporary, passive - in short, what the Tao is cannot be expressed in words. In fact, even I have not been able to have the same experience as Shangluo.]

Zheng Shijie shook his head in disappointment - he was indeed a little disappointed. He had originally wanted Shangluo to tell him about the progress of the project after seeing the cannon. Because even with such a huge structure, he still could not get any valuable "Tao" from it.

Perhaps other talented people could comprehend something from it, but Zheng Shijie himself never could comprehend anything.

"Then how big should we make this giant structure so that we can get a glimpse of the avenue?"

Shangluo thought for a moment and said, "In theory, information, energy, and matter are one. Taiyi Jinhua is a cosmic-level information, and it may require an equally large physical scale to contain it. Celestial-level power requires a celestial-level megastructure to display it, but that's not certain."

"Then I can't make a ball to wrap up the sun!"

"That's not impossible, right?"

"Ah," Zheng Shijie pressed his forehead, "Why do I feel like I'm on the wrong path? I'm afraid this is a bottomless pit."

"I think at least we can try to build the Great Wall of the Zodiac. Perhaps a wonder on a planetary scale can reveal some valuable information. This is a miracle, and it is a miracle only if it can be achieved after going through untold hardships."

"That's what I thought, too." Zheng Shijie said helplessly, "Anyway, let's build a big one first. Even if the Great Wall of the Zodiac cannot display a truly useful Taiyi Jinhua Atlas, its practical value is worth building."

"By the way, is this place big enough? After all, it's a planetary-scale megastructure. I'm afraid a factory like this alone won't be enough, right?"

Although the chimneys can be said to be overwhelming as far as the eye can see. However, due to the development restrictions on the "served" areas, the space development department of Lan Fang Company has not demarcated too much land, mainly concentrated on both sides of the road from the port to the top of the mountain. At the farthest, it does not reach the horizon. "Don't worry, after the plan officially starts, I will upgrade Lan Fang's space development department, that is, Lan Fang Aerospace, to a quasi-sovereign company with absolute jurisdiction over the entire Borneo. At that time, the whole of Borneo will be transformed into a huge spaceport, and such supporting industrial facilities will be rolled out as much as possible. In addition to this sacred mountain, Borneo is also dotted with various forms of high mountains in the center. Preliminary surveying results show that there are 692 locations with the potential to be developed into various levels of 'mass projectors'."

“Does it have such great potential?”

"After all, this is the equator." Zheng Shijie replied, "Because it is the equator, there are many options here. Projecting mass into the universe from here is the most profitable in the world. It is difficult to find such a densely covered island with mountains in other places on the equator. Both the mountains and islands are important here - the mountains can be used as the base of the mass transmitter. The islands are convenient for shipping materials by sea. Both are indispensable."

[Rather than saying there are very few, it is better to say there are none. Judging from the terrain at the equator, there are great plains in Africa and the Amazon rainforest in the New World. There is no island with a large enough area except Borneo. And I think the reason for choosing Borneo is not just because it is convenient for sea transportation, right? In fact, there are also considerations for public security? 】

Shangluo conveyed her question.

"Yes, that's right." Zheng Shijie nodded, "That's why I said that the whole of Borneo should be designated as the quasi-sovereign territory of Lan Fang Aerospace. At that time, the whole of Borneo will be closed and managed as a military stronghold. I will apply for at least one garrison division of the Royal Division to come here. I can pay for the military expenses, but I need more people. Nanyang does not have enough manpower to fully control such a large area."

"Eh? Will Borneo be closed down by then?"

"Of course." Zheng Shijie nodded. "You may not know this, but many of our cities are now under closed management. For example, Kunshan, Digang, Xiaguan and other industrial cities directly under the Ministry of Industry in Nanzhili.

"In order to prevent someone from spying on the lifeblood of the imperial court, only local residents can enter and exit those places at will. Outsiders are not allowed to stay or stay there without special reasons. This is mainly for the safety and efficiency of industrial production. After all, those places are full of research institutes, arsenals, military bases, or the production bases of some important resources."

"Then will one division be enough for you?"

"That's why we chose an island. It's much easier to manage an island. Then we can transfer a few Lan Fang Marine Corps here, and we can control every inch of Borneo. Actually, I don't want this to happen. Pontianak is my second home outside of Quanzhou. The scenery and cultural landscape here are great.

"I have to pay a large amount of resettlement fees to relocate all the locals. But this is a good place for aerospace development. If I don't vacate this place, someone else will ask me to do so. Instead of waiting for the imperial court to issue an order, I might as well prepare the land myself first."

Zheng Shijie did a simple calculation and figured out the matter. If the imperial court intervened in such matters, nothing good would happen. It would be better for him to handle the matter according to Lan Fang's rules first, and then hand over the pillow when the imperial court fell asleep, and the matter would be settled naturally.

"And take on some commercial launch missions, right?"

"Yes, indeed. I am still waiting to receive some errand fees from the court."
