Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The World’s Focus!

Once the immigration policy of Jade Island was announced, the world was in uproar!

From all corners of the globe, all the scientific and technical personnel who had previously been following the news about Jade Island began their frantic preparations.

...

Hua Country.

Imperial Capital, Huaqing University.

In the National Key Laboratory for Intelligent Vehicle Technology, a group of young researchers were intently watching the images on the big screen, hundreds of various flying cars soaring grandly in the azure sky, creating a spectacular scene that deeply shocked everyone present.

”Professor Zhuang, can these flying cars really be produced?” Despite having seen it countless times, one of the male students with thick glasses couldn’t help but ask the white-haired elder.

”Of course, these flying cars can definitely be considered state-of-the-art technological products, even leading the United States and other developed nations by 5 to 10 years, while we are at least 20 years behind them because we can’t even produce the simplest aviation engines.” Hearing the student’s words, the elder surnamed Zhuang shook his head regretfully, his face showing a trace of melancholy.

As the leader of the national intelligent vehicle laboratory, Professor Zhuang deeply understood the vast gap in scientific research capabilities between the current nation and other developed countries, let alone compared to these flying cars emerging on Jade Island.

Especially in the core technical challenges of automobile engines and control systems, they are even more constrained by others, those technological barriers looming over them like mountains, strongly pressing down on them, always leaving them trailing behind.

It was precisely because of this that when he saw the emergence of these next-generation surpassing products like flying cars in the world, he couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

He had thought that the gap between himself and others would gradually close, but reality was moving further away, a harsh reality hard to accept, making him feel uncomfortable inside!

Upon hearing the elder’s words, the atmosphere at the scene fell into a peculiar silence, all the observing students remained silent, lost in their thoughts.

After a while, a middle-aged senior with a ”Mediterranean” hairstyle abruptly raised his gaze, eyes filled with determination as he looked at the elder surnamed Zhuang, and said, ”Professor Zhuang, I’m dropping out!”

That sentence instantly shattered the silent atmosphere, all the students turned their eyes towards this normally silent, studious senior.

However, the expressions in their eyes showed not surprise, but a complex mix of envy, admiration, and other emotions.

”Professor, I... I also want to drop out.” A petite girl next to him timidly spoke up, looking fearful.

”Ah... go ahead, it’s your right, I hope you can really make a breakthrough there.” Seeing the hopeful looks on the faces of these pillar talents, the old professor knew that he couldn’t keep them here.

There’s no choice, today’s world is open and inclusive, contest for talent is extremely fierce.

Trying to retain talent purely with patriotism is no longer realistic, rather it would limit the exhibition of their talents, so the old professor also understandably agreed.

...

United States.

Texas, Chrysler Automobile Factory.

Chrysler Corporation, alongside General Motors Company and Ford Motor Company, is known as the ”Big Three” in the US automotive industry, playing a crucial role in the country’s corporate sector.

Its three major brands, Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep, are globally renowned, known for comfort and power, especially for their large-displacement, high-horsepower engines.

At this moment, inside the Chrysler Automotive Research Laboratory.

”Hey, George, have you thought about what I told you last time?” Dressed in vintage jeans, his hair meticulously styled, Michael held his coffee and spoke to George opposite him.

They are R&D engineers at Chrysler, focusing on engines. Shortly after witnessing the emergence of flying cars on Jade Island, they were immediately captivated by this next-generation automotive product, and after seeing the talent recruitment policy of Jade Island, Michael, being an engine development enthusiast, couldn’t resist wanting to showcase his talents there.

For him, compared to terrestrial car engines, it’s the aviation engines soaring in the sky that present more of a challenge.

”To Jade Island? But I worry that the welfare benefits there might be poor.” George took a sip of the coffee on the table, showing a hesitant expression.

”Oh God, come on, George, for a paradise on earth like Jade Island, how could there even be a concern about welfare benefits? Your brain must be scrambled, we are researchers pursuing cutting-edge technology. Have some ambition, will you.” Michael shrugged, speaking with a hint of exasperation.

”From what you’re saying, I suppose so, compared to Chrysler, the flying cars of Jade Island are really far ahead. We should indeed pursue cutting-edge technology.” Hearing Michael’s words, George’s eyes gradually lit up.

...

Just like that, similar situations were unfolding in various parts of the world.

From research institutes and universities to high-tech corporate R&D centers and production workshops, almost all high-tech talent were discussing the possibility of heading to Jade Island.

In addition to these individuals, some emerging small tech companies even began discussing the possibility of relocating entirely to Jade Island.

After all, the talent recruitment plan of Jade Island clearly stated, welcoming those in emerging tech industries to settle on Jade Island, offering not only free office buildings but also tax reduction benefits.

In short, the entire world was heated with activity, all tech industry talents and enterprises directing their focus towards Jade Island.

Meanwhile, Jade Island, centered in the global spotlight, was undergoing astonishing transformations.

With the support of high-tech systems, Laputa City was undergoing monumental changes, brand-new airports, convenient transportation, and shipping systems, and essential infrastructure were all springing up like bamboo shoots after rain, efficiently and conveniently connecting the entire city.

From this moment on, this brand-new city finally exuded a hint of vitality.

At this time, Jiang Cheng, who painstakingly created this city like a deity, had already started his second phase of laborious work.

And at this moment, his gaze was focused on Blue Moon Bay in Laputa City. In his vision, the most eye-catching CBD on the entire island would be born here!
