Putting on a Show

"Black, tell me seriously—can Shadow Base's products be commercialized?" Mu Fan sat solemnly on the bed. He truly needed a source of income now.

"Of course they can, but forget about selling warships. Their design structures are completely different from those of the major powers. The moment you dare sell one, a large number of people will investigate. Unless you're certain you're ready to withstand investigations from the two major powers."

"What about selling components?"

"Impossible, Mu Fan. When it comes to advanced equipment, 131 Base currently has no advantage in material processing. The only technologically sophisticated ship in the Shadow Fleet is probably the Dawn Warship, modified from the Icebreaker Warship as its base model. As for escort ships, Assault Ships, and the like, their processing and assembly precision lagged behind equivalent Yake Empire Navy hulls by at least 100%. That was because the lack of precision machine tools prevented material processing from reaching the expected standard. The streamlined production facilities at 131 Base simply couldn't compare to those large factories."

Black still rejected the idea outright and continued, "Honestly, even the Chade Metal Factory you infiltrated has equipment two tiers above that of 131 Base. Shadow Base's real advantages are its unique high-grade crystal ore, the Yake Empire's ship design blueprints, and its intelligent control system capable of fully automated production. So don't even think about selling equipment truly tied to advanced technology, unless your processing equipment improves again in the future—enough to encrypt the structure with a closed-loop system before selling it."

Mu Fan did not argue after hearing Black's words. Instead, he directly discarded those ideas from his mind.

When it came to unfamiliar fields, he was quite willing to accept the opinions of professionals.

But his lack of money still had not been resolved, leaving
