Chapter 1964 - 1788: The Stage Is Set
Chapter 1964: Chapter 1788: The Stage Is Set
Nowadays.
They can only be sure of three things.
First.
—This force is very strong.
The destruction of the three assassin organizations and the confrontation in Washington prove this point. They are a well-trained group, with advanced weapons, swift methods, and they retreat silently.
Second.
—Originated from the West.
This is a reasonable inference. Judging by their operational methods, this organization is deeply hidden and quite knowledgeable about various forces, whether caught on surveillance or killed at the steel factory.
They all had Western faces.
Natural.
They also have a sense of pride: our bloodline is still excellent.
Third.
—Daring.
If they didn’t have tremendous courage, who would dare to attack the consortium, and with such deadly moves? The previous attack on Ford Manor, though it ended in defeat, upon reflection, this was perhaps a warning.
Otherwise.
With the capability of massacring so many people at the steel factory and shooting down a helicopter, and their style of inactive until they move and certainly achieving their goal when they do, it wouldn’t have ended so anticlimactically.
Therefore.
They firmly believe this was a warning.
They have strength.
They have courage.
They act ruthlessly.
Adding these three factors,
Based on this.
The past month, the consortiums have been very quiet, digesting this information, secretly investigating, although with little success, they have come to a basic consensus—do not act rashly before finding out the truth.
Not rashly,
Doesn’t mean not at all.
They just need to choose the right time.
Thus.
These three scientists became “bait”, they want to see how strong this organization is in Europe, the cannon fodder is already prepared, as they collectively nurture Kovalro.
Dirty work.
Hard work.
Leave it to Kovalro, saves trouble. Just like before, they set up a big net to see if they can catch any fish, remaining as spectators as much as possible, and step in personally if necessary.
This time.
They are better prepared.
…
“Target appeared.”
The next day.
Afternoon.
At Stockholm airport, after the three scientists boarded the “March”, the news spread rapidly, not only the consortiums were paying attention, but also intelligence agents from various countries.
Last time.
The battle in Washington was kept from the general public, but not from the intelligence agencies of the Great Powers, soon the whole process was deduced, and they were very shocked by the audacity.
No.
It was too audacious.
Washington.
Capital.
For both sides to be able to fight like this, and for the consortiums to lose in the end, it was unbelievable. Therefore, when the three scientists receive their award, they suspect the process will not go smoothly.
So.
People were organized.
To watch.
Investigate?
Impossible.
Under this seemingly calm water, there is turbulence, undercurrents abound, getting accidentally caught would not cost lives but definitely some struggle, quite uncomfortable.
…
Huaxia.
Shanghai Stock Market.
It was evening here.
“Clack, clack, clack!”
Park.
Office,
Tang Qing’s fingers danced on the keyboard, leaving a trail of afterimages. His keyboard was completely different from usual ones, lacking numbers, letters, or symbols, merely three rows of parallel keys.
Each row had ten keys.
Anyone who saw it would be baffled, using it even more so, because these keys didn’t conceal numbers or letters, they simply weren’t there, typing relied entirely on memory.
Actually.
Tang Qing was just bored.
Unoccupied.
He did things others find meaningless, like this. Each key corresponds to something… let’s call it a serial number, different combinations produce various effects.
Or text.
Or functionality.
In any case.
Such a brain teaser average people couldn’t even hope to master, like idioms, each has a unique code in this input device, two or three integers.
Therefore.
Any idiom can be typed with a maximum of three keystrokes. Due to limitations of the rules, a Chinese character cannot be typed in one stroke either, two to three strokes, looks no different.
However.
Effect is extremely good.
Characters.
Words.
Common phrases.
Idiomatic expressions.
Medium to long sentences.
Regardless how complex.
Each has a corresponding serial number, the average person’s brain can hardly remember the equivalent of the Xinhua Dictionary’s chart, but this posed no problem for Tang Qing, just memorizing stuff after all.
No big deal.
With his typing speed.
Ten plus strokes per second, easily, and with common phrases’ simplified input, Tang Qing’s typing speed can reach a thousand to fifteen hundred words per minute under these circumstances.
Quite exaggerated.
Even.
He had a mind-control version, Tang Qing indulging further down this self-amusement path. Added rules to a regular keyboard could also achieve this, but Tang Qing tweaking it has benefits, like theft protection.
When thieves come.
Steal data?
Ha ha.
Keyboard can’t be used, let alone the next step.
Suddenly.
Tang Qing felt a bit eager, wondering if there will be a dumb thief trying to steal? The probability is slim, but if there is a chance, letting one or two in to test the anti-theft measures might not be bad, else it’s a waste.
Hmm.
Something to consider.
“Clack!”
With the last key pressed.
Hands off.
“Hmm.”
Tang Qing nodded with satisfaction.
Completed.
This was an application, helicopters, aerospace, shallow mining experiment platform. Design is fine, but testing requires approval from multiple higher departments for permission.
Ordinary enterprises.
For such big projects, designing alone takes years.
But.
For Tang Qing.
Years?
That would be trivial, at most by mid-next year, he wants to see the first batch of products. With finished products, there must be a place to test, like the shallow mining experiment platform, design is mostly complete.
After investigation.
Tang Qing chose a place fifty nautical miles east off the Shanghai Stock Market, where there’s an underwater “plateau”, average depth of about thirty meters, less than a ten-floor building, and it’s not on a navigation route.
Close.
And quiet.
“Great!”
Nearly a hundred thousand words, took him a little over an hour.
“Send.”
Keyboard changed, mouse still there.
“End work.”
Standing up.
Though not tired, presenting a ’human’ likeness, Tang Qing stretched his body, walked out of the office, moments later, the entire room’s lights dimmed. Right turn, there’s an elevator.
Private use.
Directly to underground parking lot.
Likewise.
Tang Qing has his own parking spot.
No.
Should be called a parking area.
Because he has more than one car, now the park’s ground + underground has over a thousand parking spots, in 2008, buying cars wasn’t as crazy as later, many scientific researchers haven’t settled in the Shanghai Stock Market.
Hence.
Sparsely filled.
Only a hundred some cars.
However.
Tang Qing believes.
In another five years, parking spots here might become full, maybe just like Ali from his previous life, parking spots becoming the most scarce resource, to this Tang Qing is looking forward, because it represents that everything is good.
Good times.
Dare to consume.
Soon.
The convoy left the park, watching out the window, the sunset, Tang Qing’s thoughts turned to Europe, the three scientists have reached Sweden’s capital, the stage is set, time to put on a good performance.
Not to waste this beautiful night scene.
