Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Renaldo Paro!

In the following days, Jiang Cheng kept discussing with Romney on the plans related to establishing the Apocalypse Laboratory.

The nature of the Apocalypse Laboratory will primarily be a high-end scientific research institution dedicated to exploring the world’s most cutting-edge technologies, with the ultimate goal of benefiting humanity!

According to Jiang Cheng’s initial plan, the research work at the Apocalypse Laboratory will primarily focus on three major directions: fundamental research, systems engineering, and application development.

In the fundamental research area, it will engage in theoretical research based on telecommunications technology, including mathematics, physics, materials science, etc. Systems engineering will mainly investigate highly complex systems that make up the telecommunications network. As for application development, it will be the focus of the Apocalypse Laboratory, aiming to develop application technologies that can benefit humanity based on the academic results generated from the above two research directions.

This goal set by Jiang Cheng essentially established the baseline nature of the Apocalypse Laboratory and proved that it was never a manipulated military department from the outset but a sacred research institution aimed at benefiting humanity.

After defining the nature of the Apocalypse Laboratory and outlining some basic ideas, Jiang Cheng delegated the task entirely to Romney, trusting in his ability, which had been validated in previous work, so Jiang Cheng felt very assured about this.

Currently, Jade Island is a gathering of talents, with scarce professionals from all trades and industries converging here, taking advantage of the favorable timing, geographical advantages, and harmony among people. There is no reason for Jade Island not to succeed.

As things stand now, although Jade Island still needs to lure talents from around the world through various means, if the Apocalypse Laboratory develops well, it will certainly become a pilgrimage site for researchers in the future. A vast number of talents will set joining Jade Island as a sacred goal. At that time, the Apocalypse Laboratory will be the ”blood-building sanctuary” of Jade Island, consistently supplying talents for the development of various enterprises on Jade Island and thus forming a virtuous cycle.

This is the ultimate goal of Jiang Cheng in establishing the Apocalypse Laboratory!

...

After settling all the plans for the Apocalypse Laboratory, Jiang Cheng finally managed to free himself a little.

These days, for the grand endeavor of developing Jade Island, he worked tirelessly, both day and night, without rest, and it had been a long time since he had taken a good break.

Seizing this rare opportunity for rest, Jiang Cheng specifically invited Guan Xiaofei and Su Qianqian, and the three of them visited an offshore island of Jade Island to have a good time.

The offshore island is called Snail Island, which is one of the twelve smaller offshore islands of Jade Island and remains in an undeveloped primitive state except for a small villa built for resting and residing.

However, the scenery there is the freshest and most unique, not only with the magnificent ocean, which Jade Island is renowned for, but also with romantic and charming white beaches, and, of course, natural hot springs perfect for relieving fatigue.

When initially receiving Jiang Cheng’s invitation, the two ladies were somewhat reluctant, evidently still feeling a bit annoyed over Jiang Cheng’s previous neglect. However, after Jiang Cheng sincerely apologized and promised to show them beautiful scenery and fine foods, they gladly accepted.

Thus, the three embarked on a happy holiday trip together.

Snail Island boasts stunning scenery, scattered with high-quality natural swimming pools, so the three of them spent plenty of time swimming and frolicking in the seawater, which provided Jiang Cheng with a visual feast.

Having not paid attention for some time, he noticed that the two ladies’ figures had become more alluring, and given that they wore only bikinis, their good figures were entirely revealed before Jiang Cheng’s eyes.

Unable to bear the teasing sight without tasting, Jiang Cheng was struck with a mischievous thought. During their frolics, he took many opportunities to indulge and take liberties, which momentarily left the two ladies feeling shy and angry. However, due to the good mood of the play, they chose to ”swallow their frustration,” and thus Jiang Cheng became even more reckless...

On Snail Island, Jiang Cheng enjoyed a beautiful life for three whole days, this good time accompanied by beauties, stunning scenery, and gourmet food made him extremely satisfied.

But just as Jiang Cheng was contemplating whether to extend his rest slightly and continue enjoying this wonderful feeling, a secret intelligence call from the Philippines forced him to abandon this thought.

Finally, after reluctantly sending the two ladies back to Laputa City, Jiang Cheng hurried back to Nanyao Island!

...

Nanyao Island.

Golden Feather Bay, Combat Command Center.

As a subordinate agency under the territorial security department of Jade Island—the Coastal Guard’s office, the Combat Command Center had now completed its second expansion project.

The expanded Combat Command Center consists of seven interconnected peculiar buildings, which, from a high-altitude view, closely resemble a giant key.

The front of the buildings faces the arc-shaped Golden Feather Bay, that is, towards the Pacific Ocean.

The solemn, heavy architectural style and the broad, bright giant stone gate make this military fortress building appear exceptionally magnificent and grand!

At this moment, in a square building at the center, which is also the core building where the Combat Command Center is located, a confidential-level military meeting was underway. All attendees were high-ranking military officials and senior combat commanders of the Coastal Guard.

In the solemn conference room, a middle-aged officer in a general’s military uniform with a Samsung epaulet was facing the senior military leaders attending the meeting, giving a detailed report.

According to him, they had previously secretly dispatched intelligence personnel to the Philippines to investigate the attempted attack on the Jade Island fleet, and there were now leads.

A few months ago, an unidentified heavily armed fleet attempted to assault Jade Island’s tourists, aiming to disrupt Jade Island’s plan to hold a technology expo and create a catastrophic public opinion disaster.

However, due to Jade Island’s advance intelligence alert, they ultimately averted the crisis and crushed the aggressors’ malevolent actions.

Although the incident had subsided, Jade Island did not give up digging into the event’s truth. After destroying the attacking fleet, they immediately dispatched specialized intelligence personnel to infiltrate the Philippines to secretly investigate the mastermind behind the event.

However, as if the opposition had already prepared, they escaped in advance, causing the intelligence personnel to come up empty-handed.

Fortunately, these intelligence personnel did not give up and chose to stay and conduct their investigation secretly.

The meticulous effort paid off. After months of investigation, based on some clues, they finally identified the force directing the armed fleet.

The notorious drug lord of the Philippines—Renaldo Paro!

According to the intelligence personnel’s investigation results, the armed personnel who previously attacked Jade Island were all desperados who lived by drug trafficking, and it was this drug lord who directed them.
