Chapter 222 Construction Site
After leaving the testing site, Sun Hang did not drive directly home, but took a detour to Xindu District in the north of the city.
At the intersection of Xingcheng Avenue and Fenghuang Elevated Road, there is a commercial housing project covering an area of more than 5,000 acres that has just started to be built... I don’t know whether the developer is lucky or not, but the foundation of this property has not been excavated yet. , eternal night fell without warning.
House prices in all areas of Shuzhou plummeted to freezing points overnight, and the developer of this property naturally gave up on subsequent construction plans - according to federal government regulations, the property must reach one-third of the expected construction progress before it can be officially opened. Pre-sale... And since this property has not even had its foundation built yet, it is naturally impossible to get even half of the funds back from the future owners.
The money to buy the land has become a sunk cost. If we continue to build, let alone the money to buy the land, it is impossible to recover even the construction materials and labor costs of the workers - the locals are thinking about losing their houses. Sell it out and then settle in other city-states; as for outsiders, they will come to Shuzhou to buy a house at this time if they have a bad brain.
Houses in other places, no matter how small the distance between the floors, how low the floor height, and how narrow the windows are, they still have a certain amount of lighting... But now the houses in Shuzhou - good guys, no matter which floor you live on or how well you open the windows. No matter how big it is, the lighting rate is all duck eggs.
Even the most daring speculators would not dare to bet money on the eternal night that would take who knows how many years to disappear.
Just when the developers were thinking hard about how to explain the hundreds of billions of sunk costs to shareholders, the Tianfu City Management Committee brought them "good news" at this time.
The Tianfu City Management Committee is willing to reclaim this nearly 5,000 acres of land at 50% of the sale price and take over the subsequent construction work.
Although it was also a blood loss, there was still a huge difference between a 50% loss and a 100% loss... The developer, who was almost forced into a desperate situation, agreed to the proposal without hesitation and sold the land he had just bought back at half the price. To the Tianfu City Management Committee.
As for the use of this land, naturally it will not be used to build commercial housing that can no longer be sold... This place will have a new name in the future, a name that can attract the attention of the entire federation.
"Tianshu Tower Comprehensive Talent Training Base".
As the first "honorary principal", Sun Hang is naturally obliged to inspect the progress of the project - during the days when he left Tianfu City, the special engineering team of Tianshu Tower had already started construction. Logically speaking, the foundation It should be almost dug, right?
However, when Sun Hang drove along Xingcheng Avenue to the construction site, he found that a fortress comparable to a military fortress had risen from the ground. A wall more than 20 meters high surrounded the entire construction area. From Sun Hang's From the perspective, you can only see tower cranes hundreds of meters high and large drones assisting workers in transporting construction materials.
"Isn't this... built too fast?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that Yang Qi seemed to have mentioned to him that the expansion project of Chunming City seemed to involve this engineering team.
Compared with that miraculous and magnificent city, everything in front of me seemed to be reasonable again.
Sun Hang wanted to take another look, but suddenly there was an urging sound of horns from behind. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a dozen heavy-duty trucks heading this way loaded with construction materials. .
Sun Hang quickly started the car and moved out of the way, watching the truck convoy enter the ramp.
With a harsh friction sound, the heavy wall began to move, revealing a gap more than thirty meters wide. The trucks drove into the construction site through this gap in an orderly manner, and then the wall closed again. At the top of the wall, there are even heavy sentry cannons and a large hangar for drones to take off and land. High-lumen searchlights sweep around continuously, and from time to time there are several armed helicopters with flashing signal lights. Passing through the air, the air combat platform code-named "Garuda" was barely moved over.
The nearby road section has long been closed. Thanks to Sun Hang's car carrying a special license plate from the Tianfu City Occult Research Institute, he was able to drive in. Even so, the checkpoint at the intersection also wasted nearly five minutes of his time. .
One thing to say, Sun Hang often sees how terrifying and exaggerated the major media are touting the infrastructure capabilities of the Xiazhou Federation, but this is really the first time that he has personally experienced what the media is touting... The facts are only better than the words describe. Even more outrageous.
At this rate, I'm afraid this talent training base will be operational within a month, right?
It can even be in time for the traditional back-to-school season in September.
I just don’t know how many students can be recruited... The annual "Unified Examination for College Admissions" has ended, and the time for filling out the application form has also passed. Although Tianshu Tower has the authority to allow candidates from all over the federation to fill out the application form again. That's just one sentence. But it is completely unknown how many outstanding people will give up their original aspirations and go to such a "literally invisible" place to study in a newly built school with an extremely narrow employment scope.
The name of Tianshu Tower is very resounding, but Sun Hang still feels that Pei Zongjun is a little too optimistic about the application rate.
"But it is a good thing that the number of students is small." Sun Hang said to himself as he drove the car, "With fewer people, there will be less trouble... What's more, this place... might soon become a... On the battlefield.”
Sun Hang was not sure when Chimera would come to his door on the 17th, but for those "proud princes" who were about to start a new semester here, they never dreamed that they would be welcoming the first semester. Come to a "practical class" that is "exciting as hell".
The word "die" here has the same literal meaning as the previous word "not to see the light of day".
"You should mention this to Old Man Pei when you have time." Sun Hang muttered, "We can't let a large number of students die in the first semester..."

When inspecting the completion site, Sun Hang originally planned to take a look at the community where he discovered and devoured Tai Sui. However, as soon as he got off the elevated highway, he received a video call from Yang Qi.
"Why aren't you home yet?" As soon as the call was connected, Yang Qi asked Sun Hang directly - just when Sun Hang felt that the background behind her looked familiar, Miss Zhong Ling in an apron suddenly appeared on the screen It flashed by.
"Are you at my house? Didn't you say you have to work overtime tonight?" Sun Hang asked doubtfully.
"...Ahem, I thought about it later, and I still have to balance work and rest in work." Yang Qi coughed twice and said seriously, "Besides, I haven't eaten ramen for a long time."
