Letting an outsider onto a warship is no big deal.
But what if this person is supersonic, and even their armor can withstand any small arms fire?
That's a huge problem.
It's no exaggeration to say that once such an individual is on board, they could easily kill everyone on the ship and capture the warship.
As the world's leading power, John couldn't even imagine the spectacle of their warship being captured on the battlefield.
So, after a furious outburst, he decisively backed down.
He canceled the rest of the plan.
What? The reporters were arrested, and the islanders were repatriated?
Why are you looking at me? It's none of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's business; I didn't arrest them!
Send troops?
That's not happening.
Anyway, before their warships actually arrived in that area, they could disassociate themselves from the matter and pretend nothing happened.
The White-Headed Eagle's disgusting tricks have subsided, and I guess they won't have any improper ideas after they figure out the parameters of the powered armor.
But Su Yi's actions on the island had only just begun.
That night, Su Yi entered the trading space again.
It had been more than ten days since his last transaction with Bai Lu. In the meantime, Su Yi had completed a weekly fixed transaction with Wei Wei, but because Bai Lu didn't have anything suitable for a fixed trade yet, they just traded some smart security robots.
These things have limited use, so there's not much to talk about.
But last time, because a batch of magical crops in the farm had matured, he directly gave Bai Lu 1,000 tons of magical ingredients.
Besides these useless robots, Su Yi had also pre-ordered a big item from Bai Lu, highly recommended by her, and after reading the parameters, Su Yi also found it very useful—a solid-state planetary mining machine.
This thing was used by people in Bai Lu's world for mining operations in planetary-level mines.
Its functions are extremely powerful and comprehensive.
It is said that if you dig without regard for cost, you can dig up the entire planet in at most ten years, completely changing the topography of a planet.
Incredibly awesome.
The most important thing is that this thing can not only mine, but also refine.
It can even synthesize various finished products from the mined ore according to needs.
For example, if you want to build a house now and need steel bars and cement, and the underground mineral deposits here happen to be rich in these things, then it's just too great.
The mining machine digs in the front, and you can follow behind to get the raw materials and start building.
If you also have another machine—a large-scale building construction module.
Then the speed will become extremely terrifying.
In Bai Lu's words, when they encounter a new planet, even if the planet is not very habitable, as long as the conditions are not too extreme, throwing these two sets of things on it can create a large habitable area on the planet in just ten years.
Su Yi's current need is only to quickly transform that island and completely transform it into the way he wants it to be, becoming the real headquarters of Tianyu Group.
With these two things, it's naturally no problem.
Those 1,000 tons of magical crops were mainly exchanged for these two machines.
These things are actually not difficult to obtain in their world.
Interstellar voyages are extremely expensive, and most of the time, these large machines are disposable. Many people who discover new planets will purchase these devices, either for mining or for transforming the entire planet.
After it's done, they are directly discarded on the planet due to transportation costs.
New ones need to be bought, but there are too many used ones.
Not to mention far away, on another planet called Molten Iron Star not far from Qingyu Star where Bai Lu is located, there is a planetary mining machine and a set of large-scale building manufacturing modules.
It is said that a resource-based giant enterprise spent a lot of money to buy them, thinking that there were a large number of precious metals on Molten Iron Star that could be mined to make a big profit.
As a result, they only discovered after mining halfway that there were not many original metals on this planet, and it was emptied in a few days.
Other metals are very rich, but they are all copper, iron, silver, aluminum and other things. It would be a huge loss to use this equipment to mine these most basic metal materials.
So, the company directly sealed up the planetary mining machine and discarded it on Molten Iron Star.
Along with the large-scale building manufacturing module prepared for the workers to build a city for long-term residence, they were also discarded on it and no longer needed.
This matter was quite a big deal in the star system where Bai Lu was located at that time, and it was a well-known loss case.
Su Yi had been racking his brains before, wondering how to quickly enlarge that island by means of land reclamation, how to quickly change the situation on the island, and build the island into the core headquarters of Tianyu Group.
He thought about it and didn't come up with any good ideas.
It is feasible to slowly fill it with sand blowing ships on Blue Star, but if you want to meet his requirements, this construction period will take three to five years, and I am afraid that there will be constant harassment from various forces in the middle.
After the land reclamation is completed, it will also take several years to build a large city on the island according to his design.
If you want to achieve the goal, if you use some other black technology, relying only on the existing technology of Blue Star, this will be a large project of more than ten years.
So he asked Bai Lu about this, asking if she had any such equipment that could solve the problem.
Originally, Su Yi didn't have much hope.
After all, people have already moved towards the interstellar era, why bother to engage in land reclamation?
But I didn't expect that after asking, there was actually a planetary mining machine that could meet his needs.
Of course, if people in their world knew that someone used a planetary mining machine for land reclamation, they would probably couldn't help scolding him for being pretentious and wasteful.
"Have you brought everything?"
As soon as they met, Su Yi couldn't wait to ask.
"Of course I brought it, take a look at who I am." Bai Lu patted her amazing chest and said boldly:
"You would never guess, I have an unexpected discovery this time."
"In the abandoned mine on Molten Iron Star, I not only found the planetary mining machine and the sealed set of large-scale building manufacturing modules, but also found an entire X-7674 special alloy production line."
"X-7674 special alloy is the alloy mainly used for defense on your powered armor. With a strength and toughness that is several times that of ordinary steel, the weight of X-7674 special alloy is less than one-fifth of that of steel. Even in our world, it is a high-quality alloy with a very wide range of uses."
