  Chapter 19: Accumulating Power

  Time quietly slips away when people are not paying attention, and by the time everyone reacts, all they can see is its unhesitating back view.

  After everything in the base returned to normal, Duan Lei, who had been busy all along, suddenly became somewhat idle.

  After the successful development of 'Zhi Wu Rong' dry powder, Duan Lei waited for the completion of the production workshop and the installation and debugging of the production line. He didn't need to be busy in the laboratory for the time being. After all, many technologies brought by Dingding required more advanced experimental equipment and a better experimental environment. Duan Lei decided that before the 'Diamond Building' was put into use, he would not conduct some related experiments.

  According to the current construction progress, the main structure of the 'Diamond Building' and the interior and exterior decoration, water and electricity installation can be completed before National Day. However, the subsequent experimental equipment installation is quite complicated, and it will already be a high speed if it can be put into use before New Year's Day.

  It's been almost half a year since Duan Yue didn't have to stay up all night in the lab, but thinking about the expensive experimental equipment that needs to be purchased for the "Diamond Building" makes his scalp feel numb.

  The entire 'Diamond Building' project, including decoration and installation of water and electricity, would require no more than 300 million funds. However, the purchase of experimental equipment is estimated to exceed 700 million. Fortunately, these experimental equipment do not need to be purchased all at once, and can be gradually added according to the monthly income from the 'pollution-reducing' culture fluid.

  As for the superalloy needed to build the 'Diamond Tower', Duan Lei only needs to take some time off to go to the cultivation room and add various metals to the 'Devouring Fungus' to ensure its survival, and after a period of time, he can harvest the superalloy from the water tank below and smelt it into steel ingots.

  After a batch of students from the Ocean University joined the trial car interval, Duan Lei saved a lot of time and only needed to prepare the original solution for the 'pollution-reducing' culture medium, many tedious processes could be handed over to the students.

  …………

  After everything got back on track, Duan Yue finally had more time to spend in school, attending classes, listening to lectures, accompanying Tang Lier to self-study sessions, and seemingly resumed a normal student life. Duan Yue didn't know how long he could continue living this leisurely student life, all he could do was make the most of it for now. After all, once you start a company, many things will come knocking on your door, as the saying goes 'when you're in the business world, you can't control your own body'.

  Of course, recently he has been focusing on learning to drive and hopes to get his driver's license as soon as possible.

  The theoretical exam was not difficult for Duan Yue, after flipping through the textbook twice, those simple traffic rules and exam content were already firmly printed in Duan Yue's mind, never to be forgotten again. The brain developed by 'Ding Ding' was indeed much more useful than before, and the phrase "once seen, never forgotten" perfectly described Duan Yue's current state.

  As for the actual operation, the driving school arranged for Haidai's training car to be really too few. After waiting for half a day, Duan Yue couldn't even touch the steering wheel, so he had to let Han Shi Yuan bring over the Great Wall pickup that Haidai Jian Gong had placed on the construction site as a test product.

  Not far from the base, there is a piece of salt alkali land formed by seawater flooding, which is quite flat and has no vegetation on it, making it a natural racing field. So, under the sunset glow, you can see a black pickup truck driving crookedly on this salt alkali land, as if it's drunk.

  However, this drunk pickup truck returned to normal after the second day and even began to perform some high-difficulty actions on the third day.

  It must be said that after practicing 'Lian Ti Quan' and achieving some small success, Duan Yue's neural reaction speed and muscle control ability have improved significantly. The driving skills that ordinary people need to spend a lot of time to master become exceptionally easy for him.

  "Duan Zong, are you really just starting to learn how to drive?" Looking at Duan Lian's cool drifting and tail flicking, turning the Great Wall pickup into a Ferrari and the salt flats into the Ding Jia International Circuit, Han Shi Yuan felt a bit overwhelmed.

  "Didn't you see how awkward I was just the day before yesterday?" Duan Lei got out of the car, laughing and saying: "I didn't think driving would be that easy, it's really simple."

  "Looking back, there were basically no problems with the traffic police team's road test and stakeout." Regarding Duan Lei's performance, Han Shi Yuan could only sigh that this world has no most perverted, only more perverted.

  At first, he thought Duan Yue was just a genius with brains, capable of researching all sorts of advanced technologies that would make people's eyes widen in amazement. But what he didn't expect was that his hands-on ability was so strong, and not at all like the stereotype of someone who is brainy but physically lazy.

  It has to be said that Duan Yue's skills are now on par with all the old drivers, so getting a driver's license is naturally not a problem.

  "In that case, I won't need to go to the coach on time and just give him a pack of cigarettes to settle it." To say that Duan Lei has to attend two driving lessons every week, Duan Lei really can't bear it, and slightly bribing the coach is also inevitable.

  University is actually a small society, especially after entering the third year of university, many things are not much different from those in the society, and it can also be said that it allows university students to adapt to the current situation of this society in advance.

  "Duanzong, what kind of car are you planning to buy?" Han Shi Yuan knew that after Duan Lei got his license, he would naturally want to buy a car, and asked out of curiosity.

  Cars are forever the biggest toy men love, and some even say that cars are a man's first wife, while his real wife is just a mistress. Regardless of whether this statement is biased or not, it is undeniable that cars occupy an important position in a man's life.

  For someone like Hwang Se-won, who has been working for many years and earns a good income as a white-collar worker, the car has transformed from an initial simple dream to a tangible reality. It is precisely because of this that they have developed a more intense emotional attachment to cars and are more interested in them, as they have the ability to realize their dreams and own a car of their own.

  "For now, let's just buy a pickup truck on this side of the base to make it convenient for Jin Xin and others to go out and purchase things. Your car is pretty good, by the way, recommend a reliable dealer to us later." Duan Lei patted the thick front cover of the pickup truck beside him and said: "As for me personally, I haven't decided yet, we'll talk about it later."

  Recently, although the company's income is not small, it needs to purchase a production line for cultivating 'Zhi Wu Gan' powder and prepare engineering funds for the 'Diamond Building' and production workshop. Duan Lei temporarily does not know how much budget he can take out to buy a car.

  Looking at Duan Lei's casual and carefree appearance, Han Shi Yuan felt a pang of envy in his heart. He was only a junior, yet he could start his own company, with a considerable income, and even talked about buying a car as if it were nothing. However, Han Shi Yuan still maintained a broad-minded attitude, thinking that everyone had their own destiny, and at least he was better off than many others right now.

  "What are those people doing?" Hwang Se-won asked, pointing to a group of people measuring the land with instruments not far away as they returned to the base.

  "It's probably the staff from Linhai Town Government." Duan Lei seemed to know some inside information and said, "I heard that the industrial park nearby is going to be expanded, they should be here to survey the terrain."

  Actually, the land near Cai Village was designated as an industrial park a long time ago, specifically to support the high-tech zone near Haida University and establish a production base. However, there have not been many suitable companies moving in, and the progress of land acquisition has been slow. Now that "Makabi Biology" is thriving, Gu Yuliang wants to invest in building a factory nearby, which has prompted the leaders of Linhai Town to consider restarting the industrial park plan.

  It just so happened that Gu Yu Liang's investment plan was delivered to the town government, and their surveying and measuring work on the nearby land also began. In front of political achievements, their efficiency has always been extremely high.

  "Turn back and let Hsu Ya-chun go ask what company is going to invest in building a factory, see if we can take over the project." Han Shih-yuan said, looking at the crowd getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror.

  Xu Yajun is Han Shi Yuan's assistant. He graduated from university less than a year ago, but he has remarkable abilities and is highly valued by Han Shi Yuan.

  Seeing Han Shi Yuan's keen market sense, Duan Lei couldn't help but feel a little inferior. From just a few government workers who were surveying the landform, Han Shi Yuan was able to think of the problem with infrastructure projects, and he really didn't disappoint Gu Yu Liang's trust in him.

  Duan Yue thought to himself, if he hadn't met "Ding Ding", after graduation he would have also entered society and started working. Would he have been able to develop this kind of diligent work ethic? Successful people are successful because they always have many dazzling highlights on their body, which can only be discovered when you get close to them.

  Some people say that the world a person knows is a circle. The more you know, the bigger the radius, which means there are more and more unknown things.

  After starting the company, Duan Yue began to come into contact with a higher level and more capable class. Whether it was Gu Yu Liang's gentle elegance or Han Shi Yuan's sharpness and efficiency, they all made him feel deeply moved. The thoughts that had become somewhat flighty due to having 'Ding Ding' slowly settled down, gradually maturing.

  The more contact with excellent talents, the more reverence for the future, and the more willing to learn more things with humility.

  Duan Yue understood that all of this was brought by 'ding ding', and he had only paid a little labor, without playing too much role.

  He asked himself more than once: "If one day 'Ding Ding' disappeared, could he still have success?"

  Perhaps it was this reflection and introspection that made Duan Yue consciously or unconsciously start to work hard to learn from the bright spots of the people around him, trying to improve his own abilities. Even if one day 'Ding Ding' disappeared, he would not become a useless person.

  One's own strength is true strength.

  The distant sunset has fallen to that part of the city, and the steel and concrete forest seems to have been dyed with a layer of colorful light by the evening glow. Another day's time is about to pass. On such an ordinary day, some people are falling, some are struggling, and some are like small seedlings emerging from the soil, silently absorbing sunlight, air, and water, growing slowly.

  One day it will grow into a towering tree
