Chapter 6 Base Plan and Diamond

  "Lao Zhou, Lao Xia, this time I saw two large-scale secret military bases in that world again. Although these bases were established relatively early and the technology content is also relatively low compared to now, but the concealment of these bases is really useful! Especially for our current situation, we need to establish our own secret base urgently." Mu Xing looked at Lao Zhou and Lao Xia with a rare serious tone.

  After all, the high-tech technologies that Mucun Xing and others have mastered are already decades ahead of this era. For example, the pulse gun technology obtained in special forces movies. At present, there is no such technology available for actual combat in the world. If the government finds out about this technology, they will not be able to keep it under wraps. The country will take over this military technology on the grounds of national security.

  Not to mention technologies with significant implications for national defense, such as accelerated armor and supercomputers. Moreover, the various laboratories converted from villa rooms can no longer meet the growing high-tech experiments, and the confidentiality is not very reliable.

  So in order for the secrets they currently possess to not be discovered, and for the smooth progression of that grand plan in the future, the construction of the secret base had to be started ahead of schedule.

  Upon hearing Mu Chen Xing's words, Old Zhou also agreed: "This is indeed the case... The things we currently have in our grasp absolutely cannot be exposed, and some extremely dangerous experiments currently do not have a place to be conducted. If we had our own base, it would be of great help for our future actions."

  Actually, Lao Zhou also felt that the villa in front of him was obviously not enough for their future research work. However, it has been difficult to bring up before, after all, establishing a large base is not something that can be done overnight.

  Old Xia nodded in agreement and added, "We not only need to quickly establish a base, but also start gathering personnel for preparation. After all, we will need a large number of people for various projects in the future. Moreover, as you get more things in the future, it may require a lot of manpower and resources just to analyze what you bring back."

  Lao Xia now feels the inconvenience of conducting various studies without an assistant. Even if the two of them are geniuses, without the help of auxiliary personnel, various research projects will still have to proceed slowly. However, this clearly does not meet their requirements.

  "As for personnel issues, it's still hard to say for now. After all, selecting loyal personnel is a very troublesome thing! Let's first solve the problem of building the base and then talk about it later. These are the secret base design plans I got from the upper movie world." Upon hearing Old Xia's supplement, Mu Chen Xing smiled helplessly and handed over the miniature computer beside him to Old Xia while saying this.

  After all, to establish a large secret organization, the number of people needed is certainly not small, but the selection of personnel is also an extremely complicated matter. Muxu Xing and his few people have no experience in this aspect at all. Because they need to ensure that the summoned personnel have the skills needed here, while also having a certain degree of loyalty.

  Otherwise, if the plan of Mucun Xing and others is leaked out by the people who are summoned, they will all be in big trouble. They will definitely be cracked down on by the government as a terrorist organization, and at that time, prepare to flee all over the world.

  "Hey Xiaozi, didn't you say last time that the price of the research center in the suburbs wasn't settled yet? I'm quite clear that you don't have much money left... Are you... planning to wear acceleration armor and go rob now?" Old Xia suddenly said to Mu Xingxing as he took over the mini computer.

  "Go grab it! You're really something...!" Mu Chen Xing stared at Old Xia, who was speaking out of tune, with a head full of black lines.

  Lao Xia's imagination is indeed a bit too unrealistic, armed robbery in the country is basically no different from looking for death. The government has been cracking down on armed robbery, and even if you have an armored vehicle, you can't escape the provincial armed police department.

  Not in the mood to care about Old Xia's nonsense, Muxun Xing took out a bag of something from his own pocket and placed it on the tea table in front of him. At the same time, he smiled and gestured with his hand for Old Zhou to open it and pour it out to take a look.

  Old Zhou didn't decline, and with one motion, he poured the contents of the bag onto the tea table. As numerous irregular crystals continued to appear, Old Zhou, who was holding the bag, and Old Xia, who was muttering nonstop beside him, were both staring at everything in front of them with their eyes wide open and mouths agape.

  "Is this... diamond, it's really diamond, and so many of them! This time it's really... really..." He picked up an irregular crystal and after observing it for a moment, Old Xia, who had come into contact with diamond products before, immediately recognized the true identity of the large bag of crystals in front of him, and his excited tone began to tremble.

  " Diamonds? Ah! Could it be that all these are dia... dia... monds!" Old Zhou, who had not reacted at first, now also knew the true identity of this big pile of things in front of him.

  Looking at the large package of glittering diamonds in front of him, the astonishing number was truly stunning. The diamonds scattered on the tea table were estimated to be at least hundreds in number, and they were all natural rough stones. Most of these diamonds were of very good quality colorless rough stones, and Lao Xia also found a few extremely rare colored rough stones among them.

  One of them, a big red one, was picked up by Old Xia's trembling hands and examined for half a day. He began to get excited and shouted at Mu Chenxing and Old Zhou: "We're rich! We're rich! Look... look...!"

  "Calm down, Old Xia! We know it's a valuable diamond, no need to get so excited!" Old Zhou said with a furrowed brow.

  "You guys are... never mind, I'll just explain it to you two amateurs! Look at this large red diamond in my hand, this is the rarest and most expensive top-grade diamond!" Old Xia excitedly explained to the two people opposite him.

  Although these are diamond roughs brought back by the meteorite belt, and it is known that these things are very valuable, but the specific value of these things is not so clear. Not to mention Old Zhou who majors in biology and the like.

  "How much can this thing be sold for?" Mudan Xing asked curiously, seeing Lao Xia holding the red diamond ore with such excitement.

  "How much money! Can't be estimated! As far as I know, Christie's Hong Kong auctioned off a 0.95-carat round red diamond in New York in April 1987, with a transaction price of $880,000, or an average transaction price of $920,000 per carat, setting the world record for the highest transaction price per carat at a colored diamond auction. This was still the price back then."

  The largest red diamond in the world was discovered by a lucky farmer in Brazil in 1960, and it's called the "Moussaieff Red Diamond". It weighs 5.11 carats and is triangular in shape. The red diamond I have in my hand now is at least as big as an egg and is estimated to be worth over 700 carats. Its value has already exceeded tens of millions! Just imagine what would happen if it were to appear at an auction - all the rich people around the world would bid for it! Old Xia told Mou Dust and Old Zhou everything he knew in one breath.

  Mudan Xing and Old Zhou were stunned by the news they had just heard, they did not expect that this diamond would be so valuable.

  "Mu Xiaozi, where did you get these diamonds from?" Lao Xia asked again after taking another look at the ruby in his hand.

  In response to Lao Xia's inquiry, Muxun Xing had no reaction at all. What he was thinking about in his heart was something else. No wonder when he encountered that military convoy in the African region of the movie world, their reaction was so intense. Without saying a word, they opened fire on him. It turned out that the diamonds they were escorting were worth so much! It seems that this unexpected gain is quite rich after all.

  Mudan Xing, who had sobered up, gave Lao Xia and Lao Zhou a detailed account of how he had obtained the diamonds. The two men couldn't help but look at each other. It turned out that this young man had pulled off a heist to get these diamonds.

  "If we sell this diamond, won't the construction cost of the base be settled?" Old Zhou proposed while looking at the red diamond on the table.

  "Get rid of it... Old Zhou, don't joke around. If the existence of this thing gets out, just imagine what kind of trouble its terrifying value will bring! I can say for sure that as soon as the news of this diamond being auctioned in Luocheng City appears, all sorts of domestic and foreign powers, both good and evil, will be keeping an eye on us. And internationally renowned jewel thieves will also flock here upon hearing the news. At that time, our secret is very likely to be exposed." Mudan Xing vetoed Old Zhou's proposal with a clear head at this time.

  Mudanxing's decision is correct. Such a rare diamond, once it appears, will attract the attention of the whole world. At that time, those who want to get this diamond only need to use some means to know that the diamond was provided by Mudanxing and others. Who knows what unexpected situation might happen at that time.

  "This one can't be sold, but the other diamonds here, except for the colored rough stones which are temporarily not selling well, all the others can be sold in batches! Now our funds have been replenished... Haha, this time you young man's luck is really too good!" Old Xia said, looking at the other diamonds on the tea table.

  "Alright, let's do it! I'll go to the jewelry store tomorrow and sell some of the diamonds first. Then I'll buy that piece of land in the suburbs. As for the remaining diamonds, we can figure out a way to sell them one by one later!" Mu Chen Xing said with a nod towards Lao Xia and the others.

  ··········································

  The next morning, Mudan Xing brought a few dozen diamonds to the largest jewelry store in the city. Inside, all sorts of famous and expensive jewelry were on display in glass cabinets, with prices that ordinary people couldn't afford.

  Mudan Xing casually glanced at the diamond jewelry on the counter and found that they were not as large as the diamonds in his pocket. He then beckoned to a young female store clerk standing nearby.

  The shop assistant thought that Mochou Xing was going to buy diamond jewelry, so he immediately put on a professional smile and politely asked: "Sir, can I help you with anything?"

  "Get your manager over here! I have some business to discuss with him." Mudan Xing said directly to the shop assistant in front of him.

  "Find our manager... this... Please wait a moment..." The shop assistant was still hesitant, but after seeing Mudan Xing's gaze, he immediately changed his tone.

  Soon after, a middle-aged fat man in a suit came before Mudustar and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you have something?"

  "You're the manager here, so take these and appraise them!" Mudan Xing didn't say another word, directly handing over the diamonds in his pocket to the manager.

  "Please wait a moment!" Facing Mo Dust Star's casual tone, the manager did not show any dissatisfaction. After glancing at the diamond rough in his hand, he spoke politely to Mo Dust Star. Because when he saw this extremely fair-skinned young man with those bright and spirited eyes, he immediately knew that the person before him was by no means simple.

  After leading Muxu Xing to the VIP room, the manager directly took the diamond and walked towards the appraiser in the store. Not long after, the manager brought the diamond back to Muxu Xing's side.

  "Sir, the batch of African rough diamonds you brought is of extremely high quality! It's worth around six million dollars. I don't know if you're willing to sell them, but our Longyu Jewelry Store is very willing to purchase them!" The fat manager said respectfully.

  "No problem! I was going to sell them anyway, and the price just now is very reasonable." Murong Xing said with a casual smile.

  After that, everything went smoothly and all the diamonds were sold to Longyu Jewelry. Mudan Xing left happily with the check in hand. The fat manager who had just respectfully sent off Mudan Xing returned to his office and changed his demeanor, emitting a special aura that only high-level martial artists possess.

  "I didn't expect to meet such a young and powerful outsider in the store today. It seems that what Old Master said is indeed true, Luoshan City is indeed a place where dragons and tigers hide!" Manager Pang slowly said, looking at the receding back of Muxin Xing through the glass of his office.

  At this time, Mudustar also muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that the fat guy just now was actually a master. People can't be judged by their appearance! Never mind, let's focus on the main task."

  ···········································

  After arriving at this place seventy kilometers away from the city by car, looking at the desolate mountain in front of him and the abandoned factory at the foot of the mountain, Mo Xing knew that this was the place he needed. At this time, the staff of the township government had been waiting for a long time on the other side.

  This place has not been connected by highway due to its complex geographical location. As a result, the economy here is relatively backward. The place where Mu Xun wants to buy is a large mountain plus a abandoned factory area at the foot of the mountain. There used to be a chemical plant here, which was quite profitable at that time. However, after discovering the existence of a large cave group underground, the factory also relocated for safety reasons.

  From then on, no one came to ask about this place again. At that time, Muxu Xing took a fancy to this place because it was relatively cheap, and such a large piece of land would cost only around 10 million yuan, which is an astronomical figure if sold in the city. At that time, Muxu Xing also thought there were underground caves here, planning to press down the price, but at that time, neither side had reached an agreement yet.

  But now it's different, Muxun Xing didn't say a word and bought this place at the opponent's price. Now the underground cave group here is the most attractive place for him, where is the nearest place to establish a base.

  After paying the money to the township government, the wasteland of about one square kilometer and those broken factories at the foot of the mountain were completely rented to Mudanxing for 50 years.

  Looking at the desolate mountain in front of me, I couldn't help but smile proudly, finally taking the first step towards realizing my dream.
