There's something wrong with me

Chapter 208 Tenfold Increase in Strength!
After giving the notification, I left the base.

Zhang Feng stood at the base entrance, amidst the vigilance of a group of special forces personnel, waiting for Lao Liu to call for reinforcements.

at the same time.

The fifteenth floor of the data center houses a special external department.

With a blank expression, Old Liu, accompanied by several bodyguards, was about to go in and arrest someone.

But before Lao Liu could go inside...

Wow!

The superconducting testing door in the lobby was opened.

A middle-aged man was carried out by several people because his legs were weak.

He is the person in charge of Tan Sheng's superconducting manufacturing, 'Team Leader Zheng'.

And strictly speaking, he is not actually a superconducting researcher in the data center.

He primarily served as Tan Province's production representative, leading his small team and stationed within the data center.

This will facilitate the handover of superconductors and various negotiations between the two locations.

Although online conversations can be completed in the virtual world, including making phone calls to data centers.

However, this traditional on-site office model is still in use today.

Especially in Team Leader Zheng's mind, being able to work in the data center, be stationed in the "Heavenly Court," and enjoy the various cultivation benefits of being "ranked among the immortals" was a great honor.

This is the ultimate destination that all officials dream of!
But the premise is that nothing goes wrong.

Now, all he feels is fear.

Because this is absolutely a major event!
This is also the first 'superconducting safety incident' in Great Xia!

And just minutes before, after receiving the news of the accident, he completely lost his composure and directly called on the phone to inquire about the families of all the factory's managers.

Given his position, it's as if he's scolding these factory managers, who hold high-ranking positions, just like disciplining his grandsons.

Because in addition to being a representative of Tan Province's manufacturing industry, Team Leader Zheng also has a special identity: he is the eldest son of Tan Province's former leader.

Including Zheng's siblings, who are now in important positions in various provinces.

Team Leader Zheng's family has a lot of influence.

But now this has happened.

He's definitely going to get into trouble; he'll likely be stripped of all his titles and privileges.

His siblings may also be affected by his legacy, making what was originally a smooth road more thorny, or even blocked.

Thinking about all this, Team Leader Zheng's mind was completely blank.

Especially when he saw General Manager Liu personally come to escort him, his head became dizzy, his body leaned backward, and he almost fainted.

Such a scenario is absolutely a nightmare in one's career, bar none.

"Mr. Liu... I..."

He was trembling as he spoke. Even though he was a seasoned veteran of the political arena and shouldn't be like this, when faced with disaster befalling him and his family, who could talk and laugh and speak clearly?

"breathe……"

However, he is indeed a seasoned veteran.

At this moment, he is trying to breathe slowly, trying to calm down quickly, and even more so, trying to quickly express his mistakes in an attempt to make amends.

Even if the actual operation wasn't his fault, but rather a problem with the factory.

However, as the person in charge, and specifically responsible for superconducting manufacturing, and given that this matter involves both superconductivity and aging, he was also in charge of the manufacturing process.

Therefore, his failure to have the matter thoroughly examined was a clear indication that he was not to blame.

To be honest, he could easily take a helicopter and travel back and forth between the data center and the site every day for on-site inspections.

He has the authority to call the helicopter; it's not like he wasn't given that authority.

He wanted to say all these things to President Liu and Councilor Liu, and wanted to fully admit his mistakes.

But he was so nervous and scared that after he calmed his breathing, he could only manage a few "I...I..." before he couldn't find the words to say.

Simultaneously.

Old Liu originally wanted to give him a chance to admit his mistake, because cultivating a person in charge of the entire province is not that simple.

So to a greater extent, Lao Liu wanted to hear his summary of his mistakes and then punish him accordingly.

Ultimately, Lao Liu didn't actually want to give up on him.

But seeing his character...

Old Liu's face also turned cold, giving him no chance to speak.

The current federal system is key to major development, and what it needs is efficiency and speed.

This efficiency and speed also includes the speed at which one can quickly admit and recognize one's own mistakes.

"Let's go, Mr. Zhang is waiting for us to go to the site. You can think about it on the way."

Pad-

The sentence was, "Mr. Zhang is going to the site."

Team Leader Zheng really fainted.

Because this has progressed from the nightmare level to the 'ultimate hell level'.

"take away."

Old Liu then instructed the guards to carry the person upstairs.

Once we arrived above the base.

A state-of-the-art superconducting cruise instrument is already parked on the tarmac.

It resembles a small passenger plane, but its speed reaches 4000 kilometers per hour, which is higher than some of the top fighter jets of the past.

It was in front of the cruise control again.

Zhang Feng saw Lao Liu and the others dragging people over.

I fainted when I saw the person in charge.

Zhang Feng didn't have any particular thoughts, but he knew that under the current high-pressure environment of federal production, large-scale industry was on the rise.

With such a subconscious tension, and then this incident happening, it's normal for someone to faint from fright.

If you don't faint from fright, but instead speak calmly and rationally.

That means having a good mindset and plenty of energy, and when you have plenty of energy, you don't feel tired or do any work.

Then we should definitely get rid of him.

Of course, it's also possible that some people have a very good mindset, such as myself and Lao Liu, other researchers, some people in charge of important matters, and everyone in the planning department.

This mindset was cultivated under "more than 20 years of long-term high pressure".

This team leader, Zheng, looks to be around forty years old.

At the very beginning of his extraordinary journey, he had not yet graduated from university.

He's just a kid; he couldn't possibly have experienced any high-pressure situations.

Zhang Feng had already reviewed Team Leader Zheng's information; he came from a distinguished family and possessed excellent management skills, which ultimately led to his smooth sailing.

"We still need to train our character." Zhang Feng pondered, walking towards the plane while saying to Lao Liu who had followed him, "From now on, anyone who enters the data center, even those stationed in external locations in various provinces, will be subject to this training."

In addition to observing the proper mindset, one must also strengthen the cultivation of that mindset.

"Yes!" Old Liu took out his notebook and wrote it down.

Meanwhile, he was followed only by a bodyguard who was carrying Team Leader Zheng.

The four of them boarded the cruise control device together.

But inside this globally unique cruiser.

About ten minutes later.

Team Leader Zheng, who had just woken up, was not excited at all. Instead, he would cautiously glance at General Manager Zhang, who was resting with his eyes closed, and occasionally look at Old Liu with a pleading expression.

He's stopped trembling now, but with Mr. Zhang here, he doesn't dare to say a word.

Also at this moment.

When Lao Liu's bodyguard saw Team Leader Zheng looking around haphazardly, he said in a formulaic manner:
"Team Leader Zheng, please remain seated and avoid any sudden movements."

On this supersonic cruiser, although some internal runic devices can already offset the enormous G-forces brought about by high-speed travel.

But it is ultimately a combination of new technologies.

Therefore, Team Leader Zheng's occasional body swaying sometimes disrupts the structural balance of a certain rune.

Of course, the runes are relatively stable and will not break easily even at super-high speeds.

With Zhang Feng present, the runes are perfectly balanced.

So much so that the guards' warnings were more like telling the other person, "Don't move! Behave yourself!"

However, since Team Leader Zheng was a person of some standing, his words were still polite.

"Okay...okay..." After hearing the warning, Team Leader Zheng dared not look around anymore.

These two words, including "good," were the only two words he uttered throughout the entire journey.

……

In a short while, two thousand miles were crossed, and we arrived at the superconducting factory on the outskirts of Tan Province.

The factory area is very large, covering the size of a village or town, and includes all the facilities for daily living.

Furthermore, the residential streets within the factory area also feature restaurants, a small amusement park, and entertainment venues such as KTV.

Although it's called a large factory, it's actually more like a town.

The area surrounding the factory, including street stalls and construction sites, is showing signs of developing into a real small town.

Overall, it is a thriving and prosperous large industrial base.

However, looking from the sky, Zhang Feng saw a processing plant the size of a football that had completely collapsed in the machine explosion, which also affected many surrounding buildings and facilities.

The affected area is approximately three miles in radius.

The number of injured people was not limited to just a few within the factory area; as the excavation continued, reports of injuries kept increasing.

Fortunately, the superconducting walls withstood many impacts, and the factory had ample human resources, all of whom were skilled in martial arts.

This resulted in a very low death toll.

A curfew has been imposed around the area, and factory personnel, along with local law enforcement and medical staff, including those from the armed forces, are clearing away the remaining building debris.

With the help of professional martial artists.

Humans are the best cleaning machines. The nearly one-ton boulder was easily lifted by the two martial artists and placed on a recycling truck.

There is a processing plant not far away that can break down and reprocess useful materials.

The buildings in the manufacturing plant all contain superconducting materials.

There are even similar superconducting baffles between every other building, precisely to prevent such incidents from occurring.

blah blah blah...

Then, a thud, similar to the sound of trembling feet, was heard from inside the cruise control device.

Zhang Feng used his spiritual sense to scan the area and saw that Team Leader Zheng was trembling.

Simultaneously.

When Team Leader Zheng saw the disaster scene below and could clearly see the damaged area and the injured people, he knew that no one could save him.

……

That evening, Zhang Feng and Lao Liu returned to the data center and held an all-staff meeting to discuss issues such as morale and security.

Team Leader Zheng was left on site to work diligently in cooperation with the local staff.

And in the evening, an official news report was also released.

The relevant factory personnel will be thoroughly investigated, and the safety director and factory manager will be replaced immediately and held criminally liable.

A few days later, after comprehensive research by relevant departments, Team Leader Zheng's decision was also made.

This is not public; it's internal.

First, he left the data center and canceled his cultivation benefits.

Second, head to the South China Sea factory, where the seventh batch of superconducting factories is under construction.

Third, he started as the head of the management team within the small factory, and he conducted self-checks and self-corrections every day, writing progress reports daily.

This is the full punishment he received.

Because he is quite capable, and to be honest...

He used to manage the superconducting manufacturing of a province, and he had to do everything himself. No one could handle that.

We cannot deny his entire contribution to the production of superconductors because of the gains or losses of one particular event.

If we were to judge a person in this way, then all prefects would be eliminated.

If a murderer emerges within the federal government, it becomes the responsibility of all security agencies.

If someone makes a mistake in their cultivation and it results in death.

Zhang Feng also had to pay with his life.

Furthermore, the final investigation results have also been released.

He is the head of the production team responsible for safety production, and also the second most powerful person in the factory.

He and several technical managers wanted to save on maintenance costs for aging equipment and pocket the money, which is why they didn't report it.

They are a menace, causing such a huge accident. Without a doubt, they deserve the death penalty.

Others are at most collateral victims.

The reason why Team Leader Zheng was treated so strictly was because he happened to be the 'first case'.

The old saying goes, "They've been made an example of."

To be honest, he was very unlucky and innocent.

However, he was incompetent in managing his subordinates and never went to the site; instead, he controlled things remotely from the data center every day.

This is another case of 'laziness' causing trouble.

An investigation revealed that the aging of the machinery had been a problem in this factory for quite some time.

Anyway, after investigating, there weren't many good people among them.

After some discussion, they decided to target Team Leader Zheng and punish him severely for a minor offense.

But such punishment, though seemingly severe, can enable him to take on more responsibility and increase his production workload after he overcomes it and climbs back up.

……

Before we knew it, another year had passed.

Because of Team Leader Zheng's situation, the total production of superconductors actually increased by 0.03%.

It seems to be effective, as some factories have indeed started offering special treatment or saved costs.

With a strong crackdown at this moment, they dared not cause any trouble, and production naturally increased.

Then focus on cracking down on these small factories that increase production, impose a fine, and let it go, as if nothing happened.

As for those outdated factories that think they're very clever, they still maintain the original production levels.

They thought that as long as they maintained Mr. Yuan's output, they wouldn't give themselves away.

However, with the complete formation of the Extraordinary Department, which controls the issuance and supervision of Extraordinary Merit Cards, they began to conduct secret investigations.

These factories that relied on clever tricks were punished accordingly, with their personnel and senior management replaced one by one.

With efficient processing, the output increased from 0.03% to 0.05%.

The difference of 0.02% may seem small, but it is enough to build two superconducting buildings and supporting facilities such as Z1.

The current cost of a complete superconducting building is 500 billion.

This isn't about electricity costs for unlimited energy, but rather about physical materials.

Five hundred billion planetary materials.

It is a limited amount of material.

……

After two years of internal restructuring and crackdown.

This matter is now considered closed.

As a result of this event, other industries also experienced varying degrees of production growth.

Zhang Feng was pleased with this, firstly because there were far fewer corrupt officials, and secondly because after more than twenty years of development, the fact that there were only a few corrupt officials now proved that most people were still united.

Especially in the integration of various regions.

In the following year.

The growing Extraordinary Division, together with the 'Big Brother Martial Division,' formed a joint investigation force, creating a duopoly.

Combined with the largest military and police force, and through their joint efforts, they formed a system of unpredictable infiltrations to crack down on any remaining fugitives.

Some related industries that secretly resell high-grade spirit stones and deliberately inflate the prices of extraordinary items have also become much less prevalent.

While this cannot be completely eradicated, it has at least improved a lot.

Furthermore, Zhang Feng no longer wanted to fight them, because the conceptual design of the dome had been completed.

According to relevant organizations, it is predicted that within ten years, humans will definitely be able to live on the moon and achieve the first step in interstellar colonization.

Then, we started going into space, so there was no need to fight crime anymore.

Because once the interstellar era arrives, the Federation will not be able to reach that far.

If criminals were to create a black market in outer space, it wouldn't be within the scope of superconducting quantum communication.

We can't keep chasing after them every day.

Instead of wasting time on that, we should unite our forces, repair the moon, and then try to colonize other planets.

Zhang Feng's goal is the vast starry universe.

Let every galaxy be adorned with the unique flag of Great Xia.

Then came the federal community.

Even in September of the fourth year since the return.

While browsing the internet at the base that day, Zhang Feng discovered a book that had recently become very popular.

The title is "A Real Man Should Conquer the Universe".

This book was written by a great author based on the preface to the official lunar colonization plan released a year ago.

It features many interesting civilizations and some conflict scenarios.

The protagonist is a person named 'Z', who is the leader of the Earth Alliance. He is gentle, kind, and has absolute dominance and leadership.

Under his leadership, humanity quickly occupied most of the solar system.

At the end, Z and a group of senators sit in a spaceship at the edge of the solar system, gazing at the distant and deeper starry sky.

This is the ending of the first part.

Everything seemed fine; the Earth Alliance in the book also needed someone like Z.

He perfectly embodies all the qualities of a leader.

To be honest, Zhang Feng also found it very engaging.

But everyone in the real Federation, everyone who reads this book.

Everyone knows that the protagonist of this book is actually about himself.

Z is an abbreviation of one's own name.

It was thanks to his own influence that the book became a bestseller in the Federation.

Zhang Feng also felt it was quite good, and thought that the civilization described in it could be used as a reference to try to recreate it in the virtual world, and then used as an exercise for foreign civilizations.

And we look forward to this author writing more about civilization so that we can copy it.

But Zhang Feng didn't know that this author was also waiting for the 'pioneers' to occupy the solar system before he would continue copying and create a second book.

Both Zhang Feng and he were waiting.

……

Another month has passed.

I didn't manage to copy the book, but good things are coming my way.

There are still two months until the new world.

The compression formation of the first weapon has been perfected.

Orbital weapons can also achieve planetary attack range, sending energy strikes from Earth to the Moon, which is 380,000 kilometers away.

However, the energy will gradually weaken during the attack as the light spot expands and is scattered by interstellar dust.

But that would be enough to clean 20% of the moon's surface.

Especially at the epicenter of the impact, the intense heat can melt even the most robust superconducting material.

Defenses that could withstand hydrogen bombs were as fragile as paper under the impact of railguns.

Zhang Feng also estimated that if he learned the compression formation, he could increase the destructive power by at least several times.

After that, I continued studying.

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that it was directly proportional to his base spiritual energy.

Or rather, since I only have ten spiritual thoughts, the compression is also limited.

For example, if you draw ten talismans, make a thousand copies in a higher dimension, and then rearrange them with ten spiritual thoughts to form an attack formation, that is your final combat power.

The effect is about 8 to 10 times that of the past.

There's nothing more to say, just keep copying.

Even with eight times the combat power, a single spell can still cause damage comparable to the area of ​​a city.

Equivalent to the box level.

……

For two months, Zhang Feng studied compression formations and researched their arrangement.

unconsciously.

After finishing the course, there are only three days left.

Finally, let's summarize.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

That night.

After finishing his meal in the base's main dining hall, Zhang Fengxin went to his bedroom and looked at the adventure countdown.
