The sun rose in the east.
While it was already noon in China, Su Yi's location in the sea was finally greeting the sunrise.
The clamor of the previous night had subsided.
And after a night of settling.
The small island, previously no more than fifty square kilometers with only indigenous huts, had completely transformed after a night of construction.
A large island, fifty kilometers long and over twelve kilometers wide, had silently appeared on the sea.
The island's area had grown from the original fifty square kilometers to over six hundred square kilometers.
Su Yi had long since stored the planetary mining machine in the trading platform's space; the earthquakes, tsunamis, and dust clouds that had persisted for most of the night had dissipated.
Various countries monitoring the situation had redirected their satellites.
Upon discovering the island's transformation, they were all dumbfounded.
Countless attempts were made to contact China, but China itself hadn't figured out the situation and ignored them.
Some even tried to bypass China and contact Sky Universe Group directly, but the only response they received was:
"Chairman Su Yi of the Group is busy with affairs. If you wish to meet him, please make an appointment and wait for Mr. Su Yi to be available before contacting him."
This was no different from nonsense.
In other words, "Want to contact our boss? Get in line and wait. As for when that will be? We don't know, depends on when our boss is free."
In short, the person in question refused to contact you.
But at this time, the major powers and organizations most concerned about this matter were helpless.
There was no way around it; a small island of about fifty square kilometers had turned into a large island of over six hundred square kilometers overnight.
No matter how you looked at it, this was a bit too shocking.
If it weren't for modern society and everyone believing in science,
People might actually believe this was a miracle.
Of course, compared to the anxious foreigners,
The Chinese government... was even more anxious.
To create such a large island overnight, that's a miracle!
Upon discovering the island's transformation, Old Lin, under pressure from above, tried to contact Su Yi again.
This time, Tian Shu answered the phone.
Because Su Yi had already fallen asleep holding Yue Ling.
As for Tian Shu's reply, it was simple:
"Old Mr. Lin, our Chairman Su has instructed that these matters are not to be disclosed to you for the time being."
"But Chairman Su also said that if you called, he would give you three invitation cards, each allowing 100 people. One is for the Chinese government, and the other two are for you to decide who to invite."
Old Lin didn't even know he was talking to an AI. Hearing a woman's voice, he thought it was Su Yi's secretary and quickly asked:
"Invitation cards? Invitation cards for what?"
"Invitation cards to celebrate the establishment of our Sky Universe Group's global headquarters. The time is three days later, and the location is on this island."
"Oh, right, our Chairman Su didn't like the previous awkward English name of the island, so he renamed it Penglai Island."
"Wait a minute!" Old Lin quickly found the satellite images that had just been sent to him from above.
Looking at the bare island on the image, he was stunned for a moment before asking:
"Isn't there nothing on your island? The establishment of Sky Universe Group's global headquarters... it's not going to be a beach party, is it?"
Tian Shu politely replied:
"That's not for you to worry about."
"You can come directly by plane at any time. The airport is ready, so don't worry about not having a place to land."
"Oh, right, Chairman Su also said to trouble you to send some of our Sky Universe Group's core members over as well. They are all Sky Universe Group's engineers, and such a big event as the establishment of the company's headquarters requires their presence."
Old Lin: ...
He felt like he had never been so speechless in his life.
An island suddenly increasing tenfold in size overnight was already outrageous.
Now you're telling me to fly to this bare island?
"Even if there's an airport, it's probably a temporarily built battlefield airport. Ordinary commercial flights definitely can't land there. We probably have to apply to the military to send a few transport planes."
Commercial airliners have high requirements for runways, but transport planes are not so troublesome.
A temporarily built field airport can still take off and land.
"But these invitation cards... are a good thing."
Although he didn't find out how the island grew so large overnight,
The invitation cards that Su Yi gave were quite something.
Three invitation cards, three hundred slots, one hundred for China.
As for the remaining two hundred, Su Yi gave the distribution rights to the Chinese government.
Aren't those outsiders very curious about the situation on the island now?
If you give them a chance to go up and see, would you go or not?
This isn't an invitation card at all; it's clearly a form of capital!
Old Lin immediately contacted his superiors to notify them of this matter.
Although it sounded a bit too outrageous, the fact was right there; the island did grow overnight.
You can't not accept it.
The Chinese government also quickly adjusted its direction, shifting from figuring out the truth behind the island's expansion to how to use the slots Su Yi gave to take advantage of those Western countries and get some benefits.
As for Su Yi's side.
When he woke up, it was already noon local time.
Before going to bed in the morning, he had retrieved the planetary mining machine and dumped all the large building manufacturing modules onto the island.
There was now no shortage of building materials such as cement here. The planetary mining machine had mined several hundred meters deep into the seabed dozens of nautical miles around, not only collecting enough material to fill the island but also collecting enough of the required building materials.
As for the metal materials such as steel bars, Su Yi had plenty here.
Although both steel bars and cement were the most basic materials.
For large building manufacturing modules, basic materials were easier to use.
This set of building modules included tens of thousands of robots with different functions, and there was no shortage of any equipment required for construction.
Moreover, everything was fully automated. As long as Su Yi selected a plan and provided the materials, they would quickly build.
After swallowing basic materials such as steel bars and cement, what came out were perfectly proportioned mixed reinforced concrete columns, the quality of which was definitely higher than any similar columns in any factory.
There was no need to worry about anything else.
Last night, Tian Shu provided several island transformation plans based on the island's condition after the planetary mining machine laid the foundation.
In the end, Su Yi selected a plan called "Nine Heavens Towers."
Once fully completed, the island would present a radiating structure that spreads from the center to the surroundings.
The most central part was the landmark high-rise building that Su Yi specifically requested, with a total height of 2222 meters, and the rest would decrease in order, eventually presenting a mountain-like shape.
Of course, what Su Yi was most satisfied with was the architectural style above it.
