Chapter 143: I Want to Start a Company

Zhu Hui didn't hide anything and answered Su Chen's question directly. "That day, animals all over the world mutated, and even some of human's high-tech had problems due to unknown reasons. The most affected were the satellites, with almost 99% of them being scrapped. These few remaining satellites were only found by us with difficulty, but their functions were restricted due to damage. Currently, there are only less than twenty phones that can communicate globally, and many Base Cities are using some satellite resources that are too few in number."

Zhu Hui sighed. If the satellites were intact, he could guarantee that they could meet the communication needs of a region. However, it was already difficult for these damaged satellites to continue functioning. According to professional estimates, one of the satellites might be scrapped in less than five years, and by then, communication would be a problem in some areas.

Hearing this, Su Chen's mouth curled up in a smile, and his confidence increased.

"If I have intact satellites here, can humans be restored to the era before the Apocalypse?"

"What?" Zhu Hui was shocked and stood up suddenly. The Deputy beside him had never seen Emperor Ming like this before.

"Is what you said true? Do you really have intact satellites?"

This matter was too important. If there were intact satellites, even if there was only one, it could at least enable communication in one-third of the earth's regions. People could take out their phones, dial the number, and make a direct call, unlike now, where communication towers were needed even if there was a Base City. The average person couldn't even use a communication tower.

Many people who were separated during the Apocalypse had not spoken in thirty years and didn't even know whether their loved ones were alive or dead in other places. All of this was because of the damn communication obstruction.

He knew that Su Chen must have some ideas, and he didn't care. As long as Su Chen could promise him that humans could use this satellite, it would be worth paying any price.

With communication, it was more convenient for humans to deal with Mutant Beasts. They would no longer need a Controller to appear, and they couldn't even discover it in time.

"I have them, and there's more than one. But Hui-ge, I can't sell you these satellites..."

Zhu Hui's expression dimmed slightly. When he heard Su Chen say that there was more than one satellite, his excited heart was beating violently. However, when he heard Su Chen say that he couldn't sell the satellites to him, he was disappointed.

"But I will start a company, similar to the three giants communication companies before the Apocalypse, responsible for managing communication matters. Everyone can use their phones to make calls, and I will only charge a small fee." Su Chen said with a smile.

He had just come up with this idea. Before the Apocalypse, what made money was the monopoly!

Now he had Spy satellites, which meant that he had a monopoly position.

Although Spy satellites were not communication satellites, it wasn't difficult for Engineers to modify them. The most amazing thing was that the System could allow Engineers to modify them before the satellite was built. This was totally black technology.

Anyway, by the time Su Chen finished building, the earth's space would have three more communication satellites.

Zhu Hui didn't know about this. He thought that Su Chen was lucky to have found a few intact satellites, and he guessed that it might be from the Military Base where Su Chen was from.Zhu Hui didn't hesitate and agreed directly. These requirements were not a big deal for him. Even if he was given them, he would still charge a fee. If it were always free, no one would care.

"How much will the fees be? If they're too high, ordinary people may not be able to afford it," Zhu Hui asked.

"Let's divide it based on strength. Ordinary people only need one Hope Coin to talk for a minute. Transcendents of First Tier or higher must pay with Energy Crystals. One First Tier Energy Crystal can be used for a ten-minute call, and so on. All Transcendents above Seventh Order can make unlimited free calls."

This was Su Chen's benefit for those people. After all, their strength had reached the peak of humanity. If he made them pay, it would be disrespectful to them. They were powerful, so they needed to be given some face.

First Tier Energy Crystals were not expensive, at least not for Transcendents above Seventh Order, but if Su Chen gave them this kind of face, he believed that everyone would be grateful to him. That would be enough.

The most crucial point was that there were too few Transcendents above Seventh Order in number. All the people in the world added together would be only a little over one hundred people.

The bulk of the fees would still be paid by Transcendents below Seventh Order and ordinary people.

"Leave the signal connection to me. I will send people to establish branches in various places to facilitate everyone's recharge. You can have people manufacture mobile phones. Oh, and internet access too. Tell them that data is currently very expensive, and most of the satellite resources are used for calls. The data speed is currently only at the level of 2G, because the satellites can't handle more. We'll talk about it when there are new satellites in the future."

Zhu Hui felt his mouth go dry. He didn't expect this problem that had been giving him a headache to be solved so easily. Humanity would once again return to the convenient era of the past!

"Good, I'll inform all the Controllers in Base City to start making more mobile phones. All phones will only be sold at cost price!"

It's not that humans couldn't make new satellites themselves. They had tried before, but for some reason, the satellites they launched lost contact and disappeared. After a few attempts, they never tried again. Building a satellite and launching it was too expensive, and they just couldn't afford it. That's why they gave up on the idea.

This was something Zhu Hui had never considered before. The satellite was launched by Su Chen, so it was impossible for them to do it.

After ending the call, Su Chen dispatched a large number of Kirov Airships to fly to all the Base Cities in the world. This time, they were there to collect money. The soldiers he sent out couldn't be too weak. For each Second and Third Tier Base City, he sent a Sixth Order peak soldier as captain to ensure the safety of the money and everyone else.

As for the five First Tier Base Cities, he sent out his subordinates who were at the Seventh Order early stage. This time, he sent Su Wu to Su Jiu. Only these few people had the strength of the Seventh Order early stage by his side.

Restoring communication was just Su Chen's first step. These people would be his nails in various Base Cities. They would be crucial in his efforts to subdue the Base Cities in the future!

No one knew that Su Chen had quietly spread his influence all over the world using this opportunity.
