As a return, Prince Sayyid donated one hundred million US dollars!

And what does one hundred million US dollars signify?

Last year's total GDP of Central Africa was only 1.8 billion US dollars!

Of course, the prices in Ndele differed greatly from other areas in Central Africa, but even so, the earmarked donation of one hundred million US dollars was enough for Ndele to undergo a comprehensive reconstruction.

Renovating airports, re-planning roads, re-planning functional areas…

The elderly couple, who came with Tong Yuan, unexpectedly received a large order at the age of 70.

Initially, Joe Ga had just meant it as something light-hearted, as the elderly Tong Yuan couple indeed found it a bit hard to adapt here, so he took out one hundred thousand US dollars to give them something to do.

The original idea was just to have the elderly Tong Yuan couple give some advice and draw a rough sketch, while he could find other people to refine the plans.

But what Joe Ga never expected was that the two elderly people actually took it seriously.

Ordinary people couldn't understand the sense of achievement that designers felt when creating a city; Mrs. Yuan, who had worked a lifetime in the planning bureau, felt like she had rejuvenated by ten years when she received this task.

It seemed like the money wasn't important to her; as long as the town was built exactly according to her design, she was ready to spread her ashes here.

Initially, Joe Ga thought that this gentle elderly woman was joking, but when she started calling her friends with the excitement of 'one arrow summoning a multitude,' Joe Ga began to understand why Tong Yuan was bitterly smiling…

Forty people, forty plane tickets weren't much, but a group of retired elders donning work clothes again and coming to Central Africa, if something were to happen, what would he do?

......

On the other hand, Qiao Liang, leveraging his older brother's influence, borrowed Prince Sayyid's private jet, intending to stay at the rescue center to catch Namo, and flew to Addis Ababa to pick up a few classmates.

This favor was immense!

The Prince's only requirement for his belongings was to always choose the most expensive, not the best.

A group of students from China visiting Africa for the first time were indeed awestruck and had their eyes opened.

Rarely vain, Qiao Liang devoured several expensive steaks on the Prince's jet, relishing the admiration and surprises from his classmates, only to receive a call from his prospective mother-in-law as soon as he disembarked, and then he was no longer fine.

Everything had been going so well, riding on a private jet, singing songs, fully flaunting himself, but why did he find out upon landing that the elderly couple intended not to return?

What was he to do?

If the elderly couple truly stayed behind, and if they ever suffered any ailment in the future, Tong Tong's father would go mad!

Tong Tong seemed carefree and unaffected. After receiving a call from her father, she brushed him off with a few words, then in the Prince's jet, she gathered a batch of 'little gifts' said to be replaced with each flight, before pulling a few classmates still lost in dreams off the plane.

As the Prince's private jet turned toward the apron along the runway, another 747 modified into a cargo plane began to land.

This was also Prince Sayyid's plane because, having received a formal invitation from Joe Ga, the Prince had urgently transported his hunting vehicle from home.

A Unimog for the Prince's temporary rest, four Land Rover Range Rovers for bodyguards, two Polaris off-road vehicles, one modified convertible Hummer, and over a dozen hunting rifles.

Meanwhile, Qiao Liang's classmates' baggage, sharing space with these luxury cars, had been picked up from Addis Ababa and transported together to Ndele.

Qiao Liang's five classmates were named Lu Fang, Han Zhang, Xu Qing, Jiang Ping, and Bai Xiaotang, and they were all buddies from the same class as Qiao Liang.

Apart from Qiao Liang who majored in 'Computer Science and Technology', Lu Fang and Han Zhang majored in Electronic Information Engineering, Xu Qing and Jiang Ping majored in Communication Engineering, and the last one, Bai Xiaotang, majored in Cryptography Science and Technology.

This group of talented students had formed a team under Qiao Liang's 'inspiration'.

Their initial idea was to create a solar-powered unmanned airship, but slowly the situation started changing…

Drenched in cold sweat from his soon-to-be mother-in-law's nagging, when Qiao Liang saw his older brother arriving with a fleet to pick him up, he quickly hung up the phone, ran to his brother's car window, and wailed, "Bro, Grandpa and Grandma Tong can't stay here…"

Joe Ga looked at his unimpressive younger brother, then, after some thought, firmly said, "I've paid the money, what's wrong with the old couple contributing some remaining warmth here?

This is a grand project that will become renowned across Central Africa. What's wrong with the old folks wanting to work on a dream project?

If you can't handle it, just let your prospective father-in-law call me… no, call my secretary; she speaks English, French, Sango…"

As he spoke, Joe Ga patted Qiao Liang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the old couple here enjoys the treatment of national leaders; wait until this place is finished, I've got an even bigger project.

Youngsters need to learn to motivate their elders to press forward, Tong Yuan's efforts here might even earn you all a place inside the second ring road; you're all enjoying the benefits…"

Hearing his own brother speak such ruthless words as if they were perfectly reasonable, Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment before wailing again, "Bro, you can't do this, if something happens to the old couple…"

Joe Ga thought about how the elderly couple was so engrossed in their "great endeavor" that they even blocked their son and daughter-in-law's phone, he sighed and said, "Xiao Liang, it's not that I don't have your back, but facing your parents, I really can't speak harshly. You understand, right?

If I say now that they shouldn't do it, the moment they hear it, you are the one who will be in trouble when you go back.

So, you just tell Tong Tong's mother that the old couple is flourishing here.

The scenery here is beautiful with fresh air and a hefty salary, everything here is ready to flourish. If they want to come and see, I will reimburse their tickets, just consider it a benefit.

Coming here occasionally for a break isn't bad, contributing to the nation's healthcare requires some rest too..."

Joe Ga sent his brother off, then warmly greeted his schoolmates and beckoned them to get on the vehicle.

Watching the carefree Tong Tong, her eyes fixed on a brand new Polaris off-road vehicle being unloaded from the 747 cargo plane, Joe Ga smiled and said, "Do you have a driving license?"

Tong Tong unconsciously shook her head, saying, "No."

Realizing something immediately, the clever girl pointed at Qiao Liang and said, "Brother, Qiao Liang has a driver's license."

Joe Ga leaned in close to Tong Tong's ear and whispered, "Say something nice to your dad, and I'll get a vehicle for Xiao Liang to drive you back in."

"Really?"

Tong Tong excitedly jumped up and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to my dad. Grandpa and grandma just want to have fun for a while, so what's the problem?

In our home, my word carries the most weight, I'll handle my dad!"

Joe Ga gave a thumbs up to this stubborn girl with a grin and then personally walked over to Prince's entourage, whispered a few words, and in their hearty laughter, drove off a Polaris to hand over to Qiao Liang.

After instructing him to keep up closely, Joe Ga drove off with the five slightly nervous young people back to the rescue center.

Along the way, he chatted with the young people and found that despite their greenness, they were indeed students from prestigious universities with reliable professional abilities.

The solar-powered unmanned airship ordered from South Africa had already arrived, just waiting for them to modify the system, then resolve the communication and reconnaissance issues of P·B.

Qiao Liang's idea was to make it hybrid, because the airship had to carry too many functions, relying solely on solar panels and batteries wouldn't allow it to run for a long time.

They didn't come to Central Africa empty-handed; they brought two brand-new fuel generators and a set of civilian communication autonomous networking system from China, consisting of a mobile base station and several drone terminals.

Truth be told, the technology behind these items was quite limited. After Eric decided to invest in Qiao Liang, he helped them purchase more advanced mobile base stations and communication terminals.

Of course, these were for Joe Ga's use. For Qiao Liang, this "peasant," having the civilian version was enough.

Now, the key was making the solar-powered unmanned airship compatible with the hybrid system and then ensuring its long-term operation.

Eric, a master of electronics, had not yet figured out a solution because once the hybrid system engaged, as the fuel got consumed, the airship would rise due to becoming lighter, and controlling it would require complex technology.

The main gas bag of the airship was untouchable because it was covered with flexible solar panels. If the gas inside the bag was insufficient, it could easily cause issues with the panels.

Compared to Eric, who always tried to solve problems through the computer, Joe Ga saw some very down-to-earth traits from these elite students from home universities—he called it "where there's a will, there's a way, and if there isn't, make one anyway."

In simple terms, it was about "making do." No matter the issue, they would first tackle it even if it might lead to more problems later. They would strive for results first and then look back for solutions.

This time, Joe Ga had purchased from South Africa a large solar-powered unmanned airship capable of carrying 500 kilograms, which gave the young men a lot of room to maneuver.

Just install the equipment, then add counterweights and auxiliary gas bags as needed, develop a small program and control valve, and gradually release gas from the auxiliary gas bags as fuel is consumed.

Although this might make the airship's flight attitude unstable, well...

Um, there's no 'but,' just get up there and see how it goes first...

Joe Ga, still a youth himself, couldn't help but be amused by these fellows.

They were all practical people, here for Qiao Liang's "peasant dream," even Bai Xiaotang from the northeast had already asked his family to free up their land next year so that the brothers could "experiment."

Technical prospects, ROI, such things—they didn't consider at all, initially all for fun, hopefully incorporating some of their technical ideals as well.

This was when Joe Ga realized he was always too caught up in petty concerns.

Science and technology are just like that, some might spend their entire lifetimes researching new materials, only to end up making a fortune from real-life dolls.

This stuff is so unpredictable—described as "high-tech farmers," who knows, maybe they'll become a "high-tech communications company" in the future?

Isn't he benefiting from it now too?

Upon arrival, Joe Ga, pulling along a bunch of pleasantly surprised youngsters, introduced them to a group of princes and princesses and then loudly declared...

"After an hour's rest, we depart for a day out on the grasslands, staying overnight, and tomorrow we'll invite Namo over for a press conference."
