Chapter 414 Effective Realizing
Inside a luxury villa.
Chen Jin sat upright on a sofa chair. He looked a bit stupefied, and his eyes were somewhat lifeless.
He could hear the indiscriminate bombardment of 1,500 ducks.
Yes, standing in front of him were three beautiful women with outstanding auras, fair skin, and beautiful appearances. They were dressed exquisitely and fashionably.
Heading the group was a bejeweled woman in a pale pink at-home dress. She had a mature and noble bearing. Folding her arms, she said, “Dear, this is such a big decision. Why didn’t you discuss it with us before making this decision without any of our permission? Do you think that it’s not necessary to discuss things with us, no matter what the issue is? Is it the same for family members?”
On her left was a woman in a dark gray, western-style women’s suit which perfectly showed off the S-shaped curve of her body. She exuded the vibe of a queen. Her almond-shaped eyes glared at Chen Jin. “Dad, you’ve said this before. You announced your retirement early on, and wanted to wash your hands of the company’s business. How could you make such a big decision, and so sneakily, too? Moreover, that game’s popularity is dwindling down, yet you’re still throwing so much money into it. Dad, are you confused?”
The woman on the right was also dressed like an office lady, but she was slightly more reserved. She always kept a mellow smile on her face, and her tone was very gentle. “Dad, the economy has been pretty bad these past couple years. The few big projects that I’m involved in have sunk into bad predicaments because they’re facing a lack of capital. I was originally looking to borrow some money from you... It seems that I can only rely on myself.”
Disappointment flashed across her face, and she sighed. “I don’t know if I can solve the capital shortage by going to the bank and mortgaging a space city.”
When he heard this, Chen Jin’s face naturally revealed a trace of guilt and shame.
The three beautiful women standing in front of him were his wife and two daughters, respectively.
Being the target of reproach and complaints from three sweet, beautiful women-wouldn’t any normal man feel quite embarrassed?
Not to mention that they were his most cherished family members.
Taking this combined with the guilt borne from the incidents of the past, Chen Jin would not vent his anger on them.
He could only patiently explain, “Regarding this, the game Galaxy Era contains a lot of benefits. Put it this way: its value is greater than 10,000 space cities, greater than the whole earth, even greater than the entire solar system... Its significance can no longer be described by money. It is currently the most valuable thing on earth.
“And its value comes from the vast number of elite players. Once the number of players is greatly reduced or even totally lost, the value of this game is basically zero.
“This is the purpose of injecting Xing Hai Technologies’ core assets’ dividend earnings into the game. We have to support the elite players and cultivate more value... No one can accomplish anything if the conditions are poor.
“Moreover, you should be clear about how I’ve arrived at this stage. Since the founding of Xing Hai Technologies, I’ve never made a wrong decision. I believe that I’m the idol that you admire, so please believe in your idol. Everything that I do is right.” Chen Jin began to praise himself.
However, it only caused his wife to look at him with disdain and his eldest daughter to roll her eyes.
“Heehee.” The second eldest daughter, Chen Xiao Yue, covered her mouth with her hand and laughed. “Then why don’t you talk about it, Dad? Just what is this project that is worth investing two trillions into in a year? Don’t you think that you have to give us the specific reasons?”
The eldest daughter, Chen Xing Yue, also asked, “Yes, Dad, what are you doing?”
“This...”
Chen Jin’s eyes began to twinkle, “Early—it’s still too early, though. There’s no effective results yet. Let’s talk about it later.” This was the last trump card in his hand and, so far, no one knew his secret. Not even his closest family members.
“That... OK, we’ll stop asking.”
Chen Xiao Yue knew that her father was preparing a big strategic move. It seemed that he was throwing a lot of money around, as if it was confetti and made him look a bit like a philanthropist. But Xing Hai Technologies never got involved in a losing business. Therefore, she could only express support for her father’s strange behavior.
Chen Xing Yue too, had nothing more to say. It was ok as long as her father was not a dotard. Of course, she could not help but mutter silently to herself, This is an old virtual game that has been in operation for 30 years, and it’s nearing the end of its decline in the ordinary course of events. Why does Dad still place so much value on this game?
Could there be some amazing secrets or benefits hidden in that game?
Thinking of this, she decided to go back and acquire a few game studios to explore the mystery of Galaxy Era. After all, she always felt vaguely that her father might still have some amazing tricks up his sleeve... As a woman, this was what her intuition told her.
They also talked about some other topics. Then mother and daughters left the living room together.
Chen Jin stroked his forehead with his hand to wipe away the invisible sweat.
“Although we are a family connected by blood, why do I always feel so tired?”
His money, personal interests, and affection were bound together. Which aspect would prove to be the most genuine in reality?
At the very least, Chen Jin felt that pure family love was definitely not the one that had the greatest impact on reality.
“Fortunately, I’ve made proper arrangements for Yuan Lin, Guo Yan, and the four sons, and have not treated them badly. And they haven’t been incorporated into the Chen family, either. Otherwise, with so many people crowded in front of me, fighting over this or that every day, it would turn into a real-life performance of one of those dramas about the scheming and intrigue inside a rich and powerful family. My head would explode.”
Of course, the man who knows himself well is wise, and Chen Jin, who knew himself very well indeed, had avoided these problems. Hence, his days had passed very calmly.
Evening.
Haierfa.
Chen Jin came over.
He sought out the Als, Alice and Nuwa, to ask them a few questions.
“Nuwa, can a curvature engine be developed on the basis of the Space Ripple theory that was put forward by that player some time ago? Or is it just a theoretical possibility? Have you calculated the exact result?”
Space could be changed.
This was confirmed the moment humans detected gravitational waves.
Based on the traditional method of work propulsion, no matter how great its engine power, an interstellar spacecraft simply could not attain or exceed the speed of light.
So, some experts had taken a different approach. They thought that if the speed of light was a barrier that could not be broken through, then they would change space. By “shifting” space, they would be able to break through the speed limit of fixed space.
The working principle of the curvature engine was this: by transforming, or rather distorting, the surrounding space-time continuum, the space in question would be put into a position of high potential. Then, like a landslide, it would slide from the “higher place” down to a “concave area.” Through this process, it would achieve a speed that was faster than the speed of light.
The higher the curvature, the faster the speed.
There was no problem with this propulsion principle.
But it was way too difficult to transform time and space. It appeared that space distortion could only be observed around massive black holes and neutron stars. It could not be transformed under normal circumstances.
It was even more difficult to create a functional curvature engine.
But a genius player put forward the Space Ripple theory, and, as long as the theory was proved to be correct and effective, the super light speed curvature engine could be developed. It would not exist only in the game for much longer.
“It’s been calculated, master.”
Nuwa said with some excitement, “The Space Ripple theory has been verified to be effective in reality. It will not be very long before the Base enters the era of super light speed!”
