Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 30: The Night Before Returning Home Without Worries

  The foundation-laying ceremony of the Mirror Metal Factory was successfully concluded amidst a thunderous salute, attended by Vice Secretary of the Municipal Government and Cao Shaokun. This news was reported for five minutes on the Pujiang District TV station. Gu Yuliang's Mirror Metal Factory has already had a significant impact on public opinion even before its opening.

  Especially on the second day, in Pujiang Daily and Haicheng Evening News, there were more reports about mirror metal, which caused widespread discussion among citizens. Some citizens who were initially skeptical about this report only believed that this mirror metal might be a pioneering building material with independent intellectual property rights in China after seeing the test report provided by the Institute of Metallurgy of Hainan University.

  In recent years, with the development of the domestic economy and the continuous enhancement of comprehensive national strength, the sense of patriotic pride among ordinary people in our country has also been rising. A kind of great nation consciousness is awakening. However, due to various reasons, our country started relatively late in many fields compared to developed countries and is still in a relatively backward position in many areas.

  In this case, as soon as there is an invention or research that reaches the world's leading level, the media and ordinary people are like being injected with chicken blood, crazily discussing it, and even elevating it to a national pride.

  This time, the emergence of mirror metal also sparked heated debate among media and citizens, which also achieved Gu Yu Liang's publicity purpose.

  Of course, in a low-key manner, the four words "Makka Biology" were not mentioned in all reports. This magical mirror metal was actually developed by Zhu Meiyin's Metal Research Institute under her name. What people didn't know was that this metal research institute was still an empty shell and was only registered after Gu Yuliang decided to cooperate with Duan Lei, at Duan Lei's suggestion.

  Duan Yue's business approach is to provide raw materials and solutions to downstream manufacturers, becoming a professional content supplier, without the need to directly face consumers, so fame is not essential for MaKa Biology.

  Just like the "pollution-absorbing mulberry" tree, with the market's continuous development, now every province and city in the Yellow River basin has an agent, and the planting area of pollution-absorbing mulberry trees is also expanding rapidly. However, those government units and enterprises that purchase pollution-absorbing mulberries do not care who invented them, as long as they can get enough from distributors to absorb pollutants.

  Similarly, after the mirror metal is pushed to the market in the future, customers will not care who invented the mirror metal. They only care about whether the mirror metal can achieve the effects marked on the data and whether it can replace the function of glass steel.

  The controversy in the media has made mirror metal appear in people's vision for the first time, and perhaps for many ordinary citizens, it is just a topic of conversation after dinner and will not be taken too seriously. However, for some building materials merchants with keen sense of smell, the invention of this new type of building material means the emergence of new business opportunities, and someone has already started contacting mirror metal factories to try to obtain the distribution rights of mirror metal.

  Of course, there are also some moles hidden in the dark, who, after seeing this astonishing report, began to cast their eyes on the mirror metal factory, trying to uncover its secrets.

  In short, visible and invisible forces surrounding mirror metal have begun to contend with each other in order to achieve their own purposes.

  Duan Yue was naturally unaware that the high-profile debut of Mirror Metal would cause such a stir, and he was busy packing various gifts for his family into the Q7. He brought several bottles of good wine to his grandfather, which was 30-year-old Moutai, obtained through Gu Yu Liang's connections, costing Duan Yue tens of thousands of yuan. The old man had suffered hardships and enjoyed blessings in this life, fought wars, been imprisoned, but what remained unchanged was his iron-like physique and his habit of drinking good wine. Even when he was on the southwestern border frontline years ago, he dared to secretly carry a small flask of burning wine with him, showing how much he loved drinking.

  Duanyan was often taken care of by his grandfather when he was young. Every day, watching him drink a little wine had become an exceptionally deep and memorable scene.

  Grandma is a bit hard of hearing, so every time she talks to her, she has to shout loudly in her ear. So Duan Yue bought the old lady the best hearing aid, and the low-end goods she used to use can be smoothly retired.

  Duan Yue's mother often overworked, so her legs had a bit of rheumatism. Whenever it rained on cloudy days, she would feel unbearable pain. Duan Yue specially ran to many physical therapy equipment stores and finally bought the best leg massage treatment device. He hoped this device could alleviate his mother's pain a little and that he had fulfilled his duty as a son.

  Duan Yue once asked Dingding: "Can practicing Lianquan and taking various maca-based nutritional liquids treat some human diseases?"

  However, Dīng Dīng's answer made Duàn Lěi a little disappointed. The Body Refining Fist and the nutrient solution can only enhance the physique of healthy people and cannot cure inherent diseases in the human body. At most, they can only alleviate symptoms.

  However, after more materials are extracted in the future, the advanced technology of the Maca planet can be used to prepare biological agents for the treatment of many diseases! Hearing such news, how could Duan Yue not feel extremely happy? It is worth noting that according to Dingdang's explanation, people on the Maca planet have an extremely high average lifespan in the absence of disease and disaster, which is simply beyond Duan Yue's imagination!

  Duan Lei bought several sets of clothes for his father, so he wouldn't have to wear the cheapest street vendor clothes to work every day and look too shabby. After returning home, he would buy a motorcycle for him, so he wouldn't have to ride a bike to work every day. Duan Lei just wanted to tell his father through this way that now his son has grown up and can bear the burden of the family, no need for him to be so hardworking!

  As for his younger sister who was still in junior high school, Duan Lei let Li Er be the reference and bought many beautiful clothes, also buying a lot of books to bring back to her.

  This time when Duan Yue returned home, he was very thoughtful and prepared a large pile of gifts. Even Li Er was very considerate and had also prepared another gift, which she mysteriously refused to let Duan Yue see. After all the gifts were packed, all that was left for Duan Yue to do was wait for Li Er to come out of the municipal government building and meet up with him, then drive away from Haicheng and head straight for their old home, which they hadn't visited in many years!

  However, Duan Yue was a bit worried, would Lian Er's parents let her go?
