Why Would an Aircraft Carrier Be Dispatched to Escort His Fishing Boat?

190: Chapter 190 Nine Purple Fire LuckBeiling City.

After the seawater backflowed to the vicinity, it stopped advancing.

With the magnetic field restored, the area around Beiling City began the reconstruction of a brand-new military port.

Under the multiple buffs of the infrastructure giants and military factories, this military port was rebuilt in just half a month.

This port was primarily intended to serve as a Naval Department Base.

At this moment, Commander Tang Ze looked at the brand-new Naval Department Base, feeling a sense of deep emotion.

From the design and scale to various equipment and personnel staffing, it was essentially the same as the previous Pearl River military port.

The only difference was the energy source.

Previously, it primarily used thermal power generation.

Now, it had fully transitioned to the new energy of Controlled Nuclear Fusion.

Currently, the country’s first Controlled Nuclear Fusion power station was located in Zhongsha City.

Because Zhongsha City was located in the core of the national inland and had taken in a large number of coastal residents, its energy demand had reached astronomical figures.

Therefore, immediately after the breakthrough in Controlled Nuclear Fusion, the state built this power station in Zhongsha City.

The energy for Beiling City was precisely transmitted from Zhongsha City.

According to the power station’s calculations, transmitting this energy across thousands of kilometers achieved a conversion efficiency of 90%; the only actual cost was the equipment transmission fee!

As for the energy itself, it was no longer worth much.

After all, any substance on the periodic table lower than iron could have a small fraction of its mass converted into terrifying levels of energy.

And such substances were everywhere.

So energy was simply dirt cheap.

As energy became cheap, the productivity of the entire society, which had been suppressed, naturally began a massive explosion.

Because the first to achieve the breakthrough was the Dragon Kingdom, global capital and talent began to pour in once again.

The world entered a new stage of development.

“Energy, technology, culture, mature women... this is the great prosperity of the Three Cycles and Nine Periods! The i ching was indeed correct!”

Commander Tang Ze felt a wave of emotion as he watched the prosperity return after the opening of the Beiling City port.

A man in his fifties, he was quite fond of the i ching, the head of all classics in ancient Dragon Kingdom culture.

However, many times, this ancient text was disparaged as unscientific.

A subordinate nearby asked curiously, “Commander Tang, what are the Three Cycles and Nine Periods?”

Commander Tang Ze smiled slightly and explained it to him.

The ancients defined 20 years as one Period; three 20-year periods make one Cycle.

Nine Periods make 180 years.

The first three Periods are the Upper Cycle.

The middle three are the Middle Cycle.

The last three are the Lower Cycle.

According to this method, one can derive the distribution of fortune for the last 180 years.

Namely...

Period 1 White, 1864-1883.

Period 2 Black, 1884-1903.

Period 3 Blue-Green, 1904-1923.

Period 4 Green, 1924-1943.

Period 5 Yellow,

Period 6 White,

Period 7 Red,

Period 8 White, 2004-2023, Earth.

Period 9 Purple, 2024-2043, Li Fire.

“And currently, we are in the ninth period of the Lower Cycle, the Period 9 Li Fire Fortune.”

“It is the greatest of golden ages!”

Commander Tang Ze explained.

In the previous Period 8, Earth dominated; large-scale construction flourished, infrastructure exploded, real estate prospered, and ’pretty boys’ and ’little fairies’ as incarnations of material desire ran rampant across the world.

In the next Period 9, Fire dominates; energy updates, smart technology, cultural yearning, spiritual pursuits, an era of ultra-high singlehood rates, where sophisticated, cultured, and well-educated older sisters remain popular—these are the ’mature women’.

“Commander Tang, I didn’t realize you also understood Feng Shui and fortune,”

the subordinate complimented.

Commander Tang Ze smiled calmly: “In ancient times, there was the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, specialized in observing celestial movements to calculate the imperial fortune. If they calculated wrong, it could mean the collapse of a dynasty and their heads rolling... Do you know who was the last one to calculate incorrectly?”

“Who?”

“The Great Qing! They miscalculated the birthplace of Mr. Sun. Later, that group of people from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau were all beheaded.”
