President Erlao, a Pacific island nation, didn't know why anyone was interested in an island with a lifespan of only thirty years, but this did not prevent him from selling the island through the National Assembly.

Experts have argued that due to poor control of greenhouse gas emissions, the global sea level upward trend cannot be reversed in nearly a hundred years. Therefore, most of the country's lower sea level islands will be submerged. They have already bought land to continue to survive in the Americas, discussed with local countries, and were accepted to live there, and continue to enjoy the rights of an independent country, which is of course actually a dependency.

In this context, it is natural to sell an uninhabited island without spending any effort to examine the person’s purpose. In order to gain economic benefits, such a small country can violate many international rules of the game, and of course this is nothing.

Ling Chen took out his previous cash savings, 30 million US dollars, equivalent to one-quarter of the country's gross national income during the most prosperous period, bought the island, and obtained the right to reside in the country.

In fact, it is very common to buy private islands around the world, but most people buy in places with convenient transportation and will not buy those remote islands intently, as the construction cost is too high. But Ling Chen has to do some unusual things, and of course he has to choose some remote places.

This place is located in the northeast of Australia, about 7,000 kilometers. It takes about ten days to sail from the nearest Australian pier. The original name is very inconspicuous and difficult to remember. After Ling Chen purchased it, he used the naming rights and changed it to "Hope Island", which is popular, but it is easy to remember.

There is a vast sea around it, with few people coming and there are no commonly used waterways nearby. If you want to transport a large amount of materials, you can only temporarily open a new waterway to pass.

But now it is the economy and society. Paying enough economic costs, there are people who are rushing to do any strange things, as long as the risks are not high.

Ling Chen entrusted the opening of this channel to an Australian channel survey and design company to handle it. With a large amount of money, they quickly took on this kind of work without much difficulty.

Then, we recruit domestic construction teams, five times the construction budget of the same scale in China, and the cash payment is paid in advance. This of course attracted a large number of companies to bid. Not to mention going to the Pacific Ocean, even if they go to Antarctica to build, they flocked to it. This is the charm of money. It can break the natural gap between class and identity, make the ugly beautiful, and make the elderly young.

The bidding requirements given by Ling Chen made these construction companies feel very strange. The other party did not simply build on the island, but put forward other requirements.

With the communication, they soon understood the intention of the tenderer. The tenderer built it according to the model of building a super-large floating island. In general, the tenderer hopes that after completion, this artificial floating island can rise with the rise of sea level, and can even have a certain ability to move after the power drive is installed to avoid huge maritime disasters.

This requirement has never been found, but under the huge bidding budget revealed in the early stage, many companies have come up with their own design plans. Artificial floating islands have long been formed, but in terms of scale and performance, they are far from meeting the current requirements of the bidder.

Of course, there has not been such a large-scale artificial floating island yet, just because few people are willing to invest in construction. Now some people are willing to spend this kind of construction, so they will of course obey the wishes of the bidder. This large-scale artificial floating island is similar to a large drilling platform, and some Pacific countries are preparing to invest in construction to cope with sea level rise, but the investment is too huge and exceeding the fiscal load of these countries, so it has not been released for a long time.

With the first design fee being invested, the five companies selected with rich floating island design experience were soon issued different design plans.

Ling Chen chose two of them, combined their design plans and prepared to build a multi-story floating island, similar to a pagoda, which fully considers the issues of stability and resistance to wind and waves, and also makes good use of the sea and undersea space. Each floor of this pagoda has different entertainment and living facilities, layer by layer, and will exceed nine floors. This floating island is therefore named "Pagoda Island".

The entire cost of "Pagoda Island" will be far more than that of ordinary artificial floating islands. Some Pacific countries have made a budget of US$2 billion for artificial floating island construction, and Ling Chen is preparing fifty times that of theirs.

With such high investment, the construction period was greatly compressed. The construction period, which originally took more than 30 years, was compressed to within ten years. This is of course the result of a large amount of manpower and material investment. After all, this kind of construction can be carried out on a large scale concurrent basis. Apart from the work that must be done in the early stage, the subsequent work can be divided into concurrent work.

In essence, Ling Chen is obtained by the huge resources and manpower consumed here by exchange of the social value created by one million free high-intellectual labor, because they have no entities and cannot engage in such work, but can engage in higher value-added work. This is a kind of labor exchange, each doing what they are good at, and then using production results to exchange, which is reflected on it, which is the transaction of money.

This kind of construction is carried out in installments. The first year is to build a number of production and living facilities on the island "Hope Island" purchased by Lingchen, including airports, docks, highways, etc.

The construction of the airport is the fastest. After the raw materials are purchased and transported from Australia, the construction was completed in just two months because it saved the complex administrative process in China.

Of course, a formal large airline will not rashly open such routes, which has high risks and small returns.

Ling Chen contacted a private airline and paid them huge rewards. He originally bought an airline himself, but he invested too much, which led to problems with his current cash flow. The output value of the one million free labor was extremely huge, but they only operated for two or three months with a short time and not enough value created. In addition to the consumption of conversion, some of the funds that Ling Chen could use were accumulated before.

Ling Chen seems to have taken up a lot of his energy in the past month, but his actual focus is not here.

While busy with the construction of these bases, he was considering how to design the death game to determine the real range of the 127 people's true spiritual potential and their own unique spiritual traits.

Based on the experience of later generations, he combined the characteristics of humans in this era to design some death games, which can ensure that the correct verification rate is more than 80%. Of course, the accidental injury rate will be very high. It can be said that the probability of the mental potential determined by those who pass these death games is 80% correct. However, those who cannot pass may not have no mental potential at all.

Although Ling Chen was still a little regretful about this conclusion, compared with the situation where he was completely natural in his previous life, he could at least control his choices by man-made, which would reduce a lot of waste. In the disasters of his previous life, many people with spiritual potential were eliminated because of lack of time to adapt and a lot of drag.
