Chapter 109

"Mr. Lin is a very busy man. What brings you to me again?"

Having just returned to Blue Star after completing the transaction, Su Yi received a call from the old man Lin.

Old Man Lin didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"Kid, what exactly do you plan to do with that island?"

"What to do with it? It's my territory, of course I'm going to improve the island's environment and develop it." Su Yi shrugged. He didn't bother to lie about this and directly stated his purpose:

"I plan to build a city exclusively for Tianyu Group here, a large city unlike anything in human history. In the future, it will be given to Tianyu Group employees as a benefit."

"Tsk..." Old Man Lin didn't know what was going on in his head, but he clicked his tongue in wonder, and then couldn't help but remind him:

"Although you passed this test, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will definitely not let it go, or rather, the White-Headed Eagle Empire behind them will definitely not let it go."

"This was just a test. There will only be more similar tests in the future, not less. Are you sure you are ready to deal with them?"

"In addition, I must remind you again that there is a White-Headed Eagle overseas base less than four hundred nautical miles from your island. It is a joint sea, land, and air base with more than 8,000 troops stationed there, and three Burke-class destroyers permanently stationed there. There are even submarines docked inside, but the exact number is unknown."

"In addition to this, the base also has at least eighty F35 fighter jets and a combined army battalion stationed there."

"Once you completely break with the White-Headed Eagle and relations deteriorate, their air force can fly over your head in an hour, the navy's ships can reach the coastline of your little island within a day, and the army transported by amphibious assault ships can land directly the next day."

"Are you still sure you want to invest a lot of money in transforming that island?"

"Old Man, I can tell you the truth, that place is not safe at all. Why not just modify it a little and turn it into a tourist destination? With your Tianyu Group's connections, as long as the price is reasonable and you focus on environmental protection and service, there will definitely be a lot of domestic tourists. You can still make a lot of money."

Old Man Lin's words were sincere.

And it was indeed an objective problem with the island that Su Yi had acquired.

He already knew that it was very close to the White-Headed Eagle's overseas base.

He also knew very well that this thing was a trap left for him by the European Union.

This can be regarded as the traditional skill of the old European Union.

After the colonies were divided by the White-Headed Eagle and the Polar Bear in the last century, the countries of the European Union, which had become rich by burning, killing, and looting, only had the ability to disgust people.

Over time, when doing anything, they had to disgust the trading partner or even completely unrelated third parties, which had almost become the instinct of the old European Union.

This was fully reflected in the island issue.

Of course, they had more and larger islands that were closer to the White-Headed Eagle's overseas base.

Using this kind of island would definitely allow them to exchange for more Life Water from Su Yi.

But they just didn't do it. They just wanted to sell an island that was only a few hundred nautical miles away from the White-Headed Eagle's important overseas base to Su Yi.

The main thing was to not only disgust Su Yi, but also disgust the White-Headed Eagle.

Although the military of the European Union was controlled by the White-Headed Eagle, the two were not of one mind at all. It was not surprising to trip each other up.

And Su Yi, who was disgusted...

To put it bluntly, he didn't care about this at all.

Four hundred nautical miles apart?

Don't worry, in a few days, it will only be a few hundred nautical miles apart.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I know all this and have already made preparations."

Since someone kindly offered a suggestion, Su Yi wouldn't say something like, "I already knew that, do I need you to remind me?"

"Are you referring to those iron lumps?" Old Man Lin finally stated the purpose of his call:

"Kid, tell me honestly, what exactly are those things?"

"Powered armor, the latest product developed by our Tianyu Technology, but it has not yet been mass-produced. It seems to be working quite well." Su Yi didn't intend to deceive him.

Anyway, I will answer whatever you ask. Even if you dare to ask me what the parameters of this thing are, I dare to answer you.

But if you want the finished product, then I'm sorry, I can't give you any.

It's not that Su Yi is stingy, he only has ten sets of powered armor, and he doesn't even have enough for himself, so how can he sell more?

"What kind of effects can this thing have?"

As expected, Old Man Lin continued to ask questions.

He was clearly here on a mission.

"The effect is just average. It can withstand 155mm howitzer shells, fly at more than 6 times the speed of sound, and can go into the sky and into the water. It can even fly directly into space." Su Yi said casually.

Hiss~!

The sound of Old Man Lin inhaling sharply came from the other end of the phone, followed by the old man's questioning.

"What about the battery life? How long can the battery life last? Is the power source a propellantless engine? Where does the energy come from? Could it be some kind of new battery?"

As soon as Su Yi heard this, he knew that such professional questions could not have been asked by this old man, and he was immediately speechless:

"I said, old man, why don't you let the person next to you ask? You wouldn't understand these things even if I told you."

"Okay, then I'll let him ask. This is a senior researcher from the Jiuzhou Weapon Research Institute, named Zheng Hua. He's only a few years older than you, and you young people should be able to talk more easily." Old Man Lin quickly handed over the phone.

"Mr. Su, I am honored to be able to talk to you. To be honest, after watching the relevant videos that day, our Weapon Research Institute has been very interested in the powered armor displayed by your company, and we also have some guesses, but because we have never dealt with each other before, we are not very familiar with each other, so we took the liberty of asking Mr. Lin to come to you to verify. Please don't mind."

The young man named Zheng Hua spoke very politely, without the arrogance of someone in a high position.

"Well, regarding those questions, what I can tell you is that all four engines are propellantless engines. As for the energy source and battery life... it's not easy to reveal what the energy source is. As for the battery life, under normal continuous use, it doesn't need to be recharged for at least a year."

"Not some kind of battery? No! No battery can have such a high energy density... Could it be."

Experts see the doorway, laymen watch the excitement.

If it were Old Man Lin, he would probably just listen to what Su Yi said and not know what it meant at all.

But Zheng Hua, as a senior researcher at the Weapon Research Institute, is obviously a top expert in the industry.

He instantly guessed something, hesitated slightly, and then cautiously said:

"Nuclear?"

"Sort of, but it's probably a little different from what you guessed."
