Osborne Megacorp

Before setting off for Malta, Harry had one more thing to do.

The minerals collected from asteroids have successfully arrived at the space station. In addition to a small amount of californium, these resources also contain a lot of rhodium ore, as well as some new composite materials formed in a microgravity environment.

These things are just allocated to Dr. Otto for research.

Part of the metal will be transported back to the ground for reprocessing, and the other part will be left on the space station for research on microgravity material processing.

It's just that Harry currently doesn't have the right talents to lead research in this area, so the progress is relatively slow.

Dr. Zhao Hailun is not able to join Osborne for the time being due to some domestic matters, and it will probably take a few months before he can come.

The spacecraft slowly landed at the Osborne Space Base, and Harry gave a warm hug to the astronauts who came out of the capsule - these are all good hard-working employees.

Matt Watney is also among them. He has ended his duty period. He has been stationed on the space station for half a year, responsible for studying soil and plants on it. This time he is returning to Earth for vacation.

Harry smiled and patted his shoulder: "How is it? Watney, is this space trip not bad?"

Watney is obviously very satisfied with this space trip. The space station is too luxurious. The only drawback is that the social circle of more than 10 people is too small.

Because of the abundant energy and sufficient space, their lives are quite good, and they can even play console games on it.

Compared to the tasks they perform at NASA, their work there can even be called life.

Watney nodded: "It's indeed good. I think I will miss the mission here. I hope I will have another chance in the future."

Harry said: "There will be a chance."

After this mission is over, Watney will return to NASA to prepare for the Mars plan, but what he doesn't know is that NASA has agreed to Osborne's Mars plan.

With these mission experiences, the space center has become quite proficient in the spacecraft maintenance process.

There is no problem inside the spacecraft. It only needs to replace the shell that was severely damaged when passing through the atmosphere before it can continue to perform the next mission.

The next mission is a rather special mission. It is both a drill mission and may also become an actual combat mission depending on the situation.

Harry will use senior veterans of Osborne's security department to conduct orbital airdrop experiments. This task is completely confidential.

The only thing the outside world will know is that these troops who showed their prowess in the Battle of New York will disappear for a period of time to conduct some kind of scientific experiment, and the safety of Norman will be temporarily taken care of by the 13 modified people.

This airborne mission was led by Frank.

Harry stood in front of 40 soldiers and said: "So this is an airdrop mission with an altitude of 180 kilometers. Is there anything you don't understand?"

These soldiers have been put on the latest individual armor, and all of them are equipped with combat AI to assist in combat.

It has to be said that 40 super soldiers who had fought aliens stood neatly in front of Harry. Hiring such veterans to be responsible for Osborn's security was a peace of mind.

"No, boss. I just want to see those guys pulled off the platform quickly." Frank said.

Harry smiled. There was a big white skull painted on Frank's equipment, which was very conspicuous and recognizable among these soldiers.

The meaning of this white skull is: everyone is mortal.It was originally used to remind people to cherish life, but now it is used by Frank to intimidate his opponents, which is not bad.

Halfway through, Frank's phone rang, and he looked at Harry, wondering if he could answer the phone.

Harry nodded.

"Billy? How are you doing... You want to see me? Sorry, but I'm a little busy right now and have to go on a long trip.

next week?I probably won’t have time next week. I’m sorry, brother, I’m very, very far away. "

Billy Russell is considered a family member by Frank, so he unconsciously said this sentence, and because subconsciously he is not responsible for security tasks, so he does not need to keep his whereabouts secret.

Harry stood aside and didn't remind Frank - as long as he didn't say that he was going to do an orbital airborne.

"Very well, soldier. Now board the ship and proceed with the mission."

The warehouse of one of the engineering ships has been transformed into a delivery area. The spacecraft will dock at the space station and then release these super soldiers when needed.

Watching the spaceship fly into the sky, Harry also boarded his private plane. It was time for him to set off for Malta.

On the other side, Norman was also talking to a super giant.

Roxon Petroleum CEO Dario Agger.

The company hopes that Norman will maintain the government's policy after taking office, which is to promote the development of earth's resources, such as oil.

Norman, of course, did not give a clear answer - in fact this was simply impossible.

Relying on advanced energy technology, Osborne must promote their energy revolution. The value of oil as a fuel has greatly declined, mainly in the chemical industry.

Roxon monopolizes most of the domestic industries through the petrochemical industry, but this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. In fact, Roxon's size should have been antitrusted long ago, but there is no strong official to promote these things.

So after chatting for a long time, the two of them took a sip of tea and entered a rest period.

Norman commented: "Harry would really like these tea leaves, but it's a pity that he is not here."

These things were all brought by Dario. Although Americans do not have the habit of talking, eating and drinking, everyone knows that Harry Osborne is a CEO who likes Eastern culture, so he brought these things.

Dario suddenly said: "I know that your company has invested a lot in human enhancement projects. I wonder what Mr. Osborne thinks of human enhancement technology?"

Norman smiled, leaned back on the sofa, and crossed his legs.

"I think you have already met those 13 city heroes. They are the answer. I'm ashamed to say that if it weren't for Harry, I might have stuck to a technology that was destined to fail."

Dalio continued: "We are actually very hopeful that we can restart this program, Osborne has made excellent progress in this direction."

Having said this, Dario paused and then said: "Actually, our company also has some research in this area. If we cooperate, we may really be able to realize this dream."

After hearing this, Norman thought: You are such a bad boy. You didn't talk about this when my research was not going well, and now you are here to talk about cooperation to overcome technical difficulties?

Thinking this in his mind, Norman said: "Then you may have found the wrong person. Osborne Company is now Harry's property, and I have completely got rid of the company's business. As for the human body enhancement technology, he was the one who advocated stopping the transfer of this project. And researching exoskeletons and mechanical modifications.”

"But as much as I hate to admit it, I think he is right and I am wrong. My research has indeed reached a dead end."

Norman's expression was very emotional when he said this, as if he had really put down his research.

The conversation was fruitless, and the two discussed other issues related to economic policy. Norman was doing Tai Chi without making any promises.

Dalio looked at the time and said, "Well, I'm very happy to have a close meeting with you, Mr. President-to-be. It's getting late. I think I have to go back."

“I’m also excited to have this conversation.”

As they spoke, the two stood up and each made a gesture of invitation.

But Dario accidentally knocked over the cup containing tea, and the water spilled on Norman's clothes.

"OMG... I'm sorry, Mr. Osborne, I really didn't mean to do it, I meant..."

Norman waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay, Mr. Ag, it's just a small problem, but I probably can't send you out like this. I think you won't mind, right?"

Dario said quickly: "Of course, Mr. Osborne, this is my problem after all."

After saying that, Dario walked out of the room.

After getting in the car, he took out his phone:

"Let's get him a convertible."
