With the decision made, everything else became much simpler. First, they began setting up powerful demolition charges throughout the cave.
The cave had already been thoroughly inspected. Jiang Yan Hai had even walked all the way around it himself, checking for Star Gate ore, but none had been found for the time being. Still, this world definitely had it, so there was no rush.
After confirming that there was nothing inside the cave, the interference Trigger Devices around the Star Gate were immediately installed. If Jiang Yan Hai had been nearby, he could have shut down the Star Gate with 100 points of energy.
However, if they used the information he had released and had domestic scientists build machines to interfere with and shut it down, Er Dan's analysis estimated a roughly 70% chance of closing the Star Gate. But it would consume Star Gate ore capable of extracting around 300 points of Energy Ore.
Still, Jiang Yan Hai made the decision to let the domestic scientists handle it. It was somewhat wasteful, but waste was waste—preparations still had to be made.
Even though Star Gate ore was extremely precious, they could still afford to spend 300 points. And those 300 points of Star Gate ore did not come from Earth, but from the Great Qin world. With ore detection devices available, the Great Qin world had already begun testing for it, and more discoveries would likely follow.
Of course, the country now understood that Star Gate ore was extremely valuable. According to the information Jiang Yan Hai had "declassified," such ore was indispensable for manufacturing Star Gates. Although humanity's current technology could not create Star Gates, people had to have ambitions, didn't they?
Therefore, the country would definitely store these Star Gate ores away. As for where they would
