Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

On the island on the right side of the aircraft carrier.

This was the command center of the entire aircraft carrier. Of course, Merika had removed all the important equipment, so it was now empty—perfect as a temporary lounge for Hong Dali…

Hong Dali put his head on Li Nianwei’s lap while listening to Ling Xiaoyi report the latest news.

Ling Xiaoyi looked at the notebook in her hand and said, “Young Master, right now, the purchase of steel, welding rods, steel pipes, integrated circuit chips, and other manufacturing equipment cost a total of 12 million. Airfreight for the soil, turf, sand for the beach, swimming pool building materials and coconut trees are estimated at about 32 million. Other related costs are currently being calculated, and I believe that the preliminary costs will be available soon.”

“So many things and they cost less than 50 million?” Hong Dali was very dissatisfied with the result. “It’s too little…”

How could it be so little? The amount was less than 50 million. That would only get four attribute points in exchange. It was not enough to exchange for anything!

“Rascal, 45 million and you think it’s too little?” The Bureau Chief muttered. “That’s 45 million, it’s enough for a lot of people to survive for a few lifetimes! You just squandered it without even batting an eyelid!”

“It’s really too little…” Hong Dali grinned. “Oh whatever, I’ll spend more later… Right, Xiaoyi, take note. Construct a spectators stand outside the football field later. It should surround the field and be enclosed. This island shall be the VIP room!”

Ling Xiaoyi did not know whether to laugh or cry and just nodded her head. “Okay, Young Master.” Then, she took note of it in her book.

The Bureau Chief covered his face with his hand.

Goodness, the rascal was getting started again…

Just as expected, Hong Dali continued with his arrangements. “Build some high-class hotels outside the stadium. They should be at least six stars and connect directly to the bottom of the carrier. Then, make some windows on the bottom of the carrier. We should be able to see the scenery underwater. Yes, that should be a somewhat good strategy.”

A big hotel on the carrier that leads straight under sea level so it was possible to see the fish in the sea! This prodigal had a really daring imagination!

They had a stadium, high-class hotels, and the sun and beach were next on the list. Hong Dali continued with his instructions. “Lay the beach, plant some trees, flowers, and turf, perhaps make a beach volleyball court or something. Oh yes, broaden the carrier’s deck and make the water intake or whatever it’s called bigger. We’re making a man-made island, after all. Also, build some fishing decks on the water. What else, let me think…”

At that point, Hong Dali stopped to think before continuing. “Yes, there should be some places for other boats to dock. Right, make a floating restaurant. We’ll call it ‘ALL BLUE!!’”

Refurbishing the carrier into a stadium, high-class hotel, beach volleyball and floating restaurant…

The Bureau Chief continued muttering, “This little rascal is not your normal overkill…” Regardless, he had witnessed something new today…

“O… okay…” Ling Xiaoyi continued taking notes, sweating profusely.

And so, the planning for man-made island Big Fish was somewhat finished. Next was sci-fi Second Fish. Hong Dali asked the Bureau Chief, “Say, Uncle Chief, I intend to install some high-tech weapons on Second Fish. Super-electromagnetic guns, laser weapons, intercontinental missiles, and whatever else we’ve got! If there are too little, I will be too embarrassed to greet people!”

He finally started talking about the sci-fi carrier, but how was it that his words made one feel like hitting him?

The Bureau Chief just felt like hitting him. “Rascal! Do you think those are like cabbages at the roadside, you can buy as many as you like? Those are all key projects of the State, not something you can get just because you say so!”

“I can’t have them?” Hong Dali sniffled and boldly started threatening the Bureau Chief. “I already said I did not want the military rank. I have the rank but no benefits. What use is it if I can’t have anything? I quit! You can have the Major General rank back!”

The Bureau Chief took a deep breath…

He really felt like strangling the rascal. The problem was, he could only think about it. In the end, the Bureau Chief still had to say helplessly, “Request for something practical, please. Actually, even if we were to let you have all those weapons, it’s not a big deal. The problem is, your carrier does not have enough power. The super-electromagnetic gun needs a lot of electric energy, and the generator of this aircraft carrier is obviously insufficient for it. We do not have such a strong battery in our country at present. I could get you some fighter planes or tanks, though. How about getting some conventional weapons instead?”

“What’s interesting about conventional weapons?” Hong Dali pouted. “Chuyin, do you have any new weapons? Something high level! Something super-duper powered! Something that will have people trembling in fear upon hearing its name!”

“Oh.” Lin Chuyin, who had been using the computer quietly all along, turned around after hearing what Hong Dali said. She thought about it and said, “The new concept weapons refers to weapons which have different basic principles, damage, destructive power, and way of warfare when compared to conventional weapons. They are usually a new type of weapon that is still under development or being explored as a possibility. The development of technology is bringing about tremendous changes in military weapons and equipment, and it has opened up broad prospects for the development of new non-nuclear weapons. In the near future, newer and more powerful weapon systems will be developed and used in warfare. These weapons are called new concept weapons.

“The new concept weapons that can be theoretically manufactured right now are laser weapons, high-power microwave weapons, particle beam weapons, electromagnetic launching weapons, kinetic energy interceptors, meteorological weapons, cyber warfare weapons, particle genetic weapons, and beam energy weapons.”

When the little lass finished speaking, she looked at Hong Dali. “If there aren’t any, we can consider making some.”

Now! The real show had finally started!

The Bureau Chief secretly laughed and had an inconsolable expression on. “Dali, it’s really not that I don’t want to give you those. The thing is, the State doesn’t have any surplus, either. These weapons are still in development. Unfortunately, progress is slow. If you are really in a hurry, tell me what kind of weapons you want and I’ll get some for you? I know that you like things in huge quantities. What do you think?”

This little rascal had many secrets hidden. He had to cooperate, wait, and see. Perhaps there was something in it for him. New concept weapons? New super conventional weapons? Or completely unexpected weapons?

Anyway, it would not disappoint. That was certain—this fellow will share!

“Well…” Hong Dali was slightly disappointed. He sighed and said, “In that case, I’ll just make do and take one hundred fighter planes and tanks each. I’ll see if I can make anything good out of them.”

Damn, this was going against the heavens!

One hundred fighter planes and one hundred tanks! Damn. Does our Heavenly State even have that many?!

“That…” The Bureau Chief hesitated for real this time. “We could get that many for you. The problem is, this carrier cannot fit that many. It’s only that big…”

The aircraft carrier was not small, but the only way to carry a hundred fighter planes would be to stack them up…

“All right, then.” Hong Dali knew that the Bureau Chief was right. This aircraft carrier probably would not fit so many planes. “In that case, give me twenty fighter planes first. I will use them to ferry visitors. In the future, when my father and mother want to visit, I can use those to fetch them here….”

“Rascal, come on!” The Bureau Chief raged. “You’re really going to use fighter planes to pick up visitors! That’s a fighter plane! It will cost twenty or thirty thousand for each the moment it takes off! Can’t you use a helicopter to pick up visitors?!”

“Using a helicopter for the aircraft carrier?” Hong Dali opened his eyes wide. “Uncle Chief, don’t you think that’s shameful?”

Eh? What he said actually made sense. I am at a loss as to what to say!

The Bureau Chief was stunned by Hong Dali’s response. Finally, he gave in. “Rascal, you win. Twenty it will be!” He turned around instantly, muttering as he dashed off, “This rascal, if I stay a moment longer with him I will be infuriated to the point where it might induce dementia!”

After the Bureau Chief left.

Tang Muxin sat down and signed Lin Chuyin. She asked, “Dali, is there anything else we can do with the two aircraft carriers? I feel that a man-made island and a sci-fi carrier are not enough. The important thing is that these two refurbishments will not be complete in the short term.”

“Yes, that’s true.” As he spoke, Hong Dali rubbed his chin and started thinking.

Tang Muxin was right. Whether it was building the man-made island or the sci-fi carrier, work would take at least a few months to more than a year. Neither could be rushed. The problem was that Hong Dali was still a student. When the holidays ended, he had to return to school.

“I’ve got it.” Hong Dali’s eyes lit up. “Let’s move the school here! While the sci-fi town is being built on the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, we’ll build a school here and get the teachers here. Yes, get the students as well. I estimate space should be sufficient. Anyway, if it’s not enough, we’ll just add some.”

Tang Muxin: “…” Ling Xiaoyi: “…” Li Nianwei: “…”

Fine, this fellow was really a legendary nouveau riche. He really did whatever came to his mind! Moving the entire Tianjing aristocratic school to the carrier, wandering around the world while having class… Damn, it sounded really exciting!

Now that the school was set to be moved onto the aircraft carrier, the next was naturally the most important building, Chenhui Building.

Sure enough, Hong Dali decided without a second thought. “Move Chenhui Building in as well. Right, the laboratory is the most important thing, so put it on Second Fish. Put Caiwei Entertainment on Big Fish. Move these two first, I’ll decide on the rest later.”

Right, the Bureau Chief did say previously that Hong Dali was getting ready to change the world map.

As it turned out, he was savage. He changed a really huge part of the map this time. All the ocean of the world now belonged to Hong Dali! The goal of transmigration was the sea of stars!

And so, after turning around, Hong Dali muttered while falling asleep, “Oh, then we can wander around the world. This is quite good…” Then he fell asleep…
