Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: The Helmsman of the Leading Conglomerate!

”Master... do you think the company’s growth rate isn’t fast enough?” Lucy listened to Jiang Cheng’s words, unable to comprehend why Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company’s growth so rapidly still couldn’t satisfy him and seemed insufficient.

”Hmm, for what I expect, the current Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company is still too weak, not capable of achieving it at all.” Jiang Cheng said lightly, ”However, I know that the road needs to be taken slowly. I’m just mentioning it casually.”

”Is that so...?” Lucy, listening to Jiang Cheng’s tone, wisely did not delve further into this topic but shifted directions, ”By the way, Master, I have something to tell you.”

”What is it?” Jiang Cheng looked at Lucy and asked.

”Didn’t you publish a paper on intelligence earlier, Master? It redefined the concept of intelligence in this era. Since then, recently, a research group from the Chinese Academy of Sciences made a breakthrough.” Lucy began to say.

”So quickly there are research findings?” Jiang Cheng’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, and he smiled, ”Very good.”

The paper Jiang Cheng published in the technology magazine about intelligence essentially provided a foundational theory and a specific direction, without any critical data. Although it offered those scientists a new world, it was more like a key to opening the door to this new world. What would truly be explored depended on the scientists’ research.

In Jiang Cheng’s estimation, there should be achievements within this year, but he hadn’t expected results to emerge so soon.

It seemed there were quite a few geniuses in this world, particularly within the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which immediately gave Jiang Cheng a sense that on his solitary path forward, he wasn’t entirely alone.

This feeling was quite pleasant.

Jiang Cheng smiled and then asked, ”What are the specific results?”

”I’ve brought all the data, would you like to see it, Master?” Lucy asked.

”Of course, I want to see it.” Jiang Cheng nodded and went to the computer.

Lucy immediately displayed all the core data that Professor Yang Yongyuan, Professor Zhou Zhongpeng, and Professor Liu Ling’s research group produced in the field of intelligence for Jiang Cheng to see...

The value of this core data, without a doubt, is immeasurable. Describing it as invaluable wouldn’t be excessive. The most crucial aspect is that this data signifies the imminent arrival of a true era of human intelligence!

All core data has been rigorously protected by the government to ensure its nondisclosure, as it represents a monopolistic achievement for Huaxia.

However, despite the tight security, other countries couldn’t penetrate it, and yet Lucy easily obtained the data.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng looked at this core data, with no expression fluctuating—perhaps for others, this data’s value was inestimable, but for Jiang Cheng, this was just something casually written down—not even, what Jiang Cheng casually wrote would be way superior to this data.

After all, the levels of the former and the latter are entirely different.

Jiang Cheng quickly finished reviewing the core data and nodded, stating, ”Although it’s too rudimentary, overall, it’s not bad.”

The three professors, Yang Yongyuan, Zhou Zhongpeng, and Liu Ling, didn’t anticipate that their data would be seen by Jiang Cheng and evaluated as ”not bad,” which was already quite formidable and something they could take pride in!

At the same time, a mercenary assassin hired by those super consortia in the United States, using meticulously crafted fake identities, passed the security checks in Huaxia and arrived in Huaxia!

These large families and big consortia offered a $1.5 billion bounty, attracting those bloodthirsty mercenaries—such a high bounty, though many knew the money wasn’t easy to make, and the difficulty wasn’t ordinary.... However, for these mercenaries, when is money ever easy? They live in constant peril! As long as the price is high enough, even the US president would be a target for assassination!

In this world, they’re willing to undertake the most dangerous tasks. Thus, when this price was announced, countless mercenary organizations were drawn in!

Led by Morgan, these five mega consortia didn’t think more people were better... those low-quality, under-skilled mercenaries—would hiring them all at exorbitant prices and sending them all to Huaxia ensure the mission’s success?

That’s overly optimistic! If not done correctly, it might alert the other side, leading to the mission’s total failure.

So, they selected only one of the strongest, highest-quality mercenaries who completed the most tasks from these mercenaries.

”Knight”—this is the name of this mercenary team, translated, it means ”Blood Knight.”

Ironically named, this merciless mercenary team, indifferent to killing and responsible for countless deaths, yet any familiar with this team wouldn’t laugh. They’re not the usual fearsome squad...

Because their methods are exceedingly bloody, even once, due to mission requirements, they decimated an unrelated village, resulting in extremely poor ratings. They even earned the nickname ”Blood Knight”! — During the selection process, Morgan hesitated several times yet ultimately chose them, solely due to their strength!

However... some pity is warranted for this mercenary group’s target, the world’s most terrifying person!

...

In a rather western-style castle resides a prominent figure, one of the most dignified individuals in the United States, beyond comparison to even the president, who successfully transitioned from business magnate to US presidency.

Every time the president meets with this person, he hastily extends greetings, expressing goodwill and respect.

He is the leader of the Morgan Clan.

At this moment, the leader of the Morgan Clan is in his office reading a book with a black cover, appearing very antique and mysterious with no title.

This book was written to him by his current father, the head of the Morgan Clan, covering some fascinating topics and offering guidance from the head.
