A trace of confusion showed on Old Chen's face.
"There's no problem with sending our people there. Defending the country is the military's duty. Besides, the overall situation on Earth is stable now, and the chances of war breaking out are negligible. Our future threats will very likely come from space," Old Chen said. "But why does a base like this need to be built by you? When it comes to building military bases, surely our engineering troops have more experience than you do?"
Shen Bing looked at Old Chen, reluctant to deal him a blow.
"Old Chen, I can deploy dozens of Charged Particle Cannons in the military base. Can your engineering troops do that?" Shen Bing felt this would be a little easier for him to accept.
Old Chen froze. What did a military base have to do with Charged Particle Cannons? Besides, the military had a procurement agreement with Phantom Immortal Technology for those cannons. They could buy them.
Old Chen was just about to argue.
Shen Bing continued, "We've successfully developed the Quantum Transmission Device, which can transport living organisms. That's what makes this base viable. Can your engineering teams build it?"
Old Chen scratched his head. He was both shocked that Phantom Immortal Technology had actually developed Quantum Teleportation Technology capable of transporting living organisms and somewhat resigned to the outcome.
As though he felt that point was not persuasive enough for Old Chen, Shen Bing continued, "Through in-depth research into dark matter, our company has invented something called a Dark Matter Shield, which can keep the base safe. Can your engineering troops build that?"
Although Old Chen still wanted to say that they could buy all those things from his company, the words simply would not come out.
*Damn, if we buy everything from
