CHAPTER 536: CHAPTER 208: TENFOLD POWER-UP! (PART 3)

They are a scourge, causing such a big accident, there’s nothing more to say, direct death penalty.

The others are at most collateral victims.

The reason why Team Leader Zheng was treated so harshly is that he happened to be involved in the ’first case’.

As the old saying goes, he was made an example of.

In fact, to speak the truth, he was very unlucky, very innocent.

But he failed to manage his subordinates properly and didn’t go to the site daily, controlling everything remotely from the data center every day.

This is also a case of ’laziness’ causing trouble.

Because after investigation, the problem of machinery aging hadn’t just started recently in this factory.

Anyway, after the investigation, not many were found to be good people.

Simply combining everything, they used Team Leader Zheng as the scapegoat, with light crime receiving heavy punishment.

But such punishment, although it seems heavy, after enduring it and climbing back up, it also allows him to bear more responsibility and adds more production burdens on him.

...

Unknowingly, another year passed.

Because of Team Leader Zheng’s incident, the total production of superconductors increased by 0.03%.

Apparently, it was effective, as some factories indeed started skimping, or saving costs.

At this moment, with a strong crackdown, they dared not make trouble anymore, and production naturally increased.

Focusing on these small-scale production factories that increased their output, fining them, and the matter is considered settled, as if it never happened.

As for those aging factories that think they are clever, maintaining their original production levels.

They thought that as long as they maintained their original production levels, they wouldn’t expose themselves.

But with the Spiritual Thought Department, the one managing ’Extraordinary Merit Card distribution and supervision’, being fully formed, and conducting investigations secretly.

These smarty-pants factories were replaced with new personnel and executives according to the necessary punishment.

After efficient reorganization, the output increased from 0.03% to 0.05%.

The seemingly minor difference of 0.02% is small, but it can build two small superconductor buildings and the accompanying Z1 facilities.

And the construction cost of a full-fledged small superconductor building is five trillion.

This isn’t the cost of limitless energy electricity, but rather the material cost in tangible form.

Five trillion of planetary materials.

These materials are finite.

...

After a long two-year internal consolidation and crackdowns.

This matter is considered closed.

Moreover, with the occurrence of this incident, other industries also saw varying degrees of production growth.

Zhang Feng was pleased about this; first, because the pests were significantly reduced, and second, after over twenty years of the extraordinary period, there were only this few pests, proving that most people still worked in unison.

Especially in the unification across various regions.

Within the following year.

The gradually maturing Spiritual Thought Department, along with the ’big brother Martial Arts Department’, formed a combined review that was like a pincers movement.

Along with the largest scale of military police cooperation, they formed a point-to-point insertion above their joint operation, combating those who slipped through the net.

Some clandestine industries dealing in high-grade Spirit Stones and artificially inflating the prices of extraordinary items have also relatively restrained themselves.

This necessity cannot be completely eradicated, but at least it has improved significantly.

Moreover, Zhang Feng did not want to further attack them, because the concept design for the dome had been completed.

According to relevant unit forecasts, within ten years, humanity is sure to reach and live on the moon, achieving the first step of space colonization.

Then, as humanity starts moving into space, there’s not much necessity for combating crime anymore.

Because when the interstellar era arrives, the Federation won’t possibly extend its reach that far.

If criminals were truly to establish a black market in outer space, which wouldn’t fall within the superconductor quantum communication range.

You can’t chase after them every day.

With that effort, it’s better to consolidate strength, build the moon, and then attempt to colonize other planets.

Zhang Feng’s goal is the vast starry cosmos.

To plant Great Xia’s unique flag on every star system.

After which, comes the Federation community.

Even in the fourth year after returning, in September.

While surfing the internet at the base, Zhang Feng discovered a recently popular book.

It was titled "A Man Should Conquer the Universe."

This book was written by a great author following the preface to the lunar colonization plan officially released a year ago.

It features many amusing civilizations and some confrontation plots.

The protagonist is a person named ’Z’, who, as the leader of the Earth Alliance, possesses a gentle, kind nature, yet holds absolute authority as well as leadership skills.

Under his leadership, humanity quickly occupied more than half of the solar system.

And at the end, Z and a group of council members, sat inside a space battleship, gazing into the farther, deeper celestial spaces at the edge of the solar system.

This was the conclusion of the first book.

Seemingly there’s nothing wrong, and the Earth Alliance indeed requires someone like Z.

He perfectly fits all the attributes of a leader.

To be honest, Zhang Feng found it very engaging to read.

But everyone in the Federation who read this book.

Knew that the book’s main character was actually a portrayal of himself.

Z, is the abbreviation of his own name.

It’s also due to his fame that this book sold tremendously well within the Federation.

Zhang Feng also felt quite good about it and thought that the civilizations described inside could be used as references to recreate in the Virtual World, then used for external civilization exercises.

And anticipated the author to write more civilizations for him to copy.

However, Zhang Feng did not know, this author was also waiting for the ’pioneer’ to conquer the solar system, so he could continue his copying for the second book.

Zhang Feng and he, both were waiting.

...

Another month passed.

The book hadn’t been copied, but good things happened.

Two months before the new world.

The Compression Array of the first weapon had been perfected.

Orbital weapons could now achieve planetary attack distances, transferring the energy from Earth to the moon, which is 380,000 kilometers away.

However, the energy during the attack would gradually weaken due to the expansion of light spots and scattering of cosmic dust, etc.

But it’s still sufficient to cleanse 20% of the moon’s surface.

Especially at the strike’s focal point, the intense heat would melt even solid superconductors.

Defense facilities capable of withstanding Hydrogen Pills, when struck repeatedly by the orbital cannon, would be as fragile as a sheet of paper.

Zhang Feng also estimated that if he mastered the Compression Array, he could enhance his destructive power by at least several times.

Subsequently, during his study.

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that it was proportional to his base Spiritual Thought.

In other words, he only had ten strands of Spiritual Thought, thus the compression was also limited.

For example, he drew ten Talisman, performed High-dimensional Replication a thousand times, and then used ten strands of Spiritual Thought to rearrange and form the attack array, showing his final combat power.

The effect was approximately 8~10 times as before.

Nothing more to say, just keep copying.

Even with 8 times the power, a single Magic attack released could cause destruction comparable to the range of a city.

Equivalent to the box-level.

...

Over two months, Zhang Feng was learning the Compression Array, studying its arrangements.

Unknowingly.

After completing his study, only three days remained.

He consolidated everything once more.

Three days swiftly passed.

That night.

Zhang Feng, satisfied after dining in the base’s large canteen, went to the bedroom and looked at the adventure countdown.
