230: Chapter 230 The Passing of the Legacy

In the study, Chen Fan stared at the tablet screen.

"Alpha Centauri System, Tianchen Star."

He read those words aloud.

Chen Muyang stood before the desk, his back straight.

"This file comes from a prehistoric ruin twenty thousand meters underground in the Northwest New Mining Area," Chen Muyang spoke clearly. "Zhou Ming's team used brute force to decrypt the ruin's main control panel. The high-altitude system warning from three days ago was a resonance signal between the ruin and the remaining Tianchen Star mothership."

Chen Fan closed the tablet. He leaned back in his chair and looked up at his eldest son.

An interstellar crisis was imminent. Human cognition faced collapse. No fear could be seen on Chen Muyang's face.

"What do you plan to do?" Chen Fan asked.

Chen Muyang raised his hand and tapped twice on his tactical watch.

Blue light lit up in the center of the study. A holographic projection unfolded, filling half the room.

This was the ultimate blueprint for the Huihuang Group for the next ten years.

The holographic image rotated. Chen Muyang pointed to the energy matrix at the top.

"The construction of the interstellar defense array requires draining more than seventy percent of the global heavy industrial capacity," Chen Muyang's voice was steady. "Conventional commercial methods are too slow. I plan to physically bind the defense plan with global healthcare and basic education."

He swiped his finger, switching to the profit distribution module.

"Pangu Biology's latest genetic medicine and the free education underlying code from the Huihuang Academy of Sciences will serve as hard currency. Any country or consortium that wishes to extend life and knowledge must unconditionally surrender their mining rights and industrial control."

Chen Fan stood up and approached the holographic projection.

He reviewed the implementation plans one by one. Various data were listed clearly.

For the remaining overseas energy consortiums, a dual-stranglehold net was set in the blueprint. Once the other party attempted to hoard goods for speculation, the Huihuang Group would immediately cut off the supercharging network in their region and sell off their currency reserves in the financial market.

Chen Muyang had turned the survival needs of all humanity into a butcher's knife for the Huihuang Group to dominate resources.

After reading all the details, Chen Fan's tense shoulders relaxed.

"Ruthless enough, and steady enough." Chen Fan nodded, his tone revealing relief.

Chen Muyang closed the holographic projection.

The two walked out of the study.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and the aroma of food wafted through the air.

Chen Nianyao held a framed painting and was gesturing to Su Guohua.

"Grandpa, this is the work I won a gold medal for in Paris," Chen Nianyao's laughter was crisp.

On the other side, Lin Wanqiu held a child who had just learned to walk, moving slowly under the veranda. Three little ones wearing red Tang suits were chasing each other around the edge of the red carpet.

The warmth of home filled the entire siheyuan.

Chen Fan stopped on the steps, looking at everything before him.

He patted Chen Muyang's shoulder.

Chen Fan stepped forward to the center of the courtyard. He raised his right hand and pressed down with his palm.

The conversation in the courtyard stopped. Everyone turned to look at him.

Core elders like Zhou Ming and Chen Haoyu put down their teacups and stood up straight.

"Everyone," Chen Fan looked around. "Today, I am officially announcing a decision."

He stepped aside, letting Chen Muyang take the lead.

"From this moment on, I resign from all my positions," Chen Fan's voice was resonant. "The highest command of the Huihuang Academy of Sciences, the Human Future Foundation, and the newly launched Earth Defense Plan is now entirely transferred to Chen Muyang."

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

Zhou Ming's brows furrowed. Chen Haoyu took a step forward.

The foreign enemies had just retreated, and an interstellar crisis was emerging. The elders thought Chen Fan would continue to take the helm. This total relinquishment of power came without warning.

"President Chen, the defense plan involves the global lifeblood. Handing over at this time..." Zhou Ming spoke, his tone carrying worry.

Chen Fan did not answer; he looked at Chen Haoyu.

"Hao Yu, switch the projection source from the study over here," Chen Fan ordered.

Chen Haoyu operated his watch.

On the white gable wall of the main house, a massive holographic blueprint was projected directly.

The vast interstellar defense network and the cold global resource coordination plan were clearly displayed before everyone's eyes.

The elders watched the blueprint on the wall, their breathing hitching.

This concept of power, which transcended conventional commercial understanding, exceeded their expectations.

Zhou Ming stared at the resource scheduling module and turned to look at Chen Muyang.

"Young Master," Zhou Ming raised a question. "Cross-regional scheduling of deep-space resources involves aviation control across three continents. Once the North American consortiums cut off the synchronous satellite chain near the equator, our transport ships will become blind. How will this be solved?"

This was the core technical obstacle.

Chen Muyang took a step forward. He didn't look at the blueprint but met Zhou Ming's gaze directly.

"The North American consortiums will have no chance to cut off the satellite chain," Chen Muyang's tone was firm. "At midnight tonight, the three hundred low-orbit Pulse Satellites launched by the Huihuang Group will complete their network. Before sunrise tomorrow, the underlying code of all non-Huihuang civilian and military satellites above the equator will be forcibly taken over. Those that refuse to surrender control will be destroyed by direct physical collision."

Chen Muyang scanned the crowd, his aura cold and stern.

"The rules have changed. Now, Earth has only one set of rules, and those are the Chen family's rules."

Zhou Ming's mouth hung open; he didn't argue.

Chen Haoyu looked at Chen Muyang and stood at attention.

This impeccable, iron-blooded plan, along with the unique pressure of a superior, completely dispelled the veteran officials' doubts.

"R&D Department, I want to see the final parameter report for the Pulse Satellites by eight o'clock tomorrow morning," Chen Muyang issued his first command.

"Understood," Zhou Ming bowed and accepted the order.

"Security Department, deploy three Shadow Guard teams to the Northwest Mining Area. Implement full military control," Chen Muyang looked at Chen Haoyu.

"Yes!" Chen Haoyu responded loudly.

The core members straightened their backs and recorded their respective instructions. The handover of power was completed in a very short time.

Chen Fan backed out of the center of the crowd.

He walked over to Su Wanqing's side.

Su Wanqing looked at her son issuing orders on the steps, her eyes slightly red.

Chen Fan reached out and put his arm around his wife's waist.

"After today, I'll accompany you to the market to buy groceries every day," Chen Fan held her hand, his voice gentle.

Su Wanqing tilted her head, leaning on Chen Fan's shoulder, and nodded gently.

Around them were the sounds of executives quickly tapping on keyboards and discussing in low voices. Chen Fan looked at Chen Muyang's back, and the hostility of past business battles dissipated at this moment.

The night deepened. The banquet dispersed.

Chen Fan returned to the study alone.

He pulled out a wooden chair and sat down. The lights were not on in the room.

Chen Fan's mind stirred slightly.

The familiar dark gold panel emerged before his eyes.

The panel was empty, with no vulnerability scans or strategic analyses.

A short line of text appeared in the center of the screen.

"Host permissions have completed the final transition. Current dimension assistance has ended. We wish you a happy life."

Chen Fan looked at this line of text.

Images of the past few years flashed through his mind. From a delivery man to the world's richest man, from struggling in the mud to standing at the top of the world.

He raised his right hand and extended his index finger.

He pressed the close button in the upper right corner of the light screen.

The dark gold panel flickered twice, turned into points of light, and dissipated into the air.

Chen Fan stood up and walked to the window.

Stars twinkled in the night sky.

Earth's defense was beginning. The journey belonging to the younger generation had just started.

Chen Fan pushed open the window, and the night breeze blew into the study.

He turned off the light and walked out of the room.
